Change? My ass.
and what about his 800 billion dollar 'stimulus package'? Does anyone here really believe that taking out a fucking loan will help our economy? It's like giving a bum a credit card.

Whether or not those people killed were terrorists dramatically alters the situation. It seems they mostly likely were terrorists. BUT MAYBE THEY WERE INNOCENT BABIES. I DUNNO LOL
Love him or hate him, he did say he'd go into Pakistan if need be. I, for one, have mixed feelings. Definitely, I'm glad to see a renewed focus on Afghanistan. I've always said one of the big problems I have with Iraq is that it takes attention away from Afghanistan and capturing bin Laden. On the other hand, I worry that this might cause problems between the US and Pakistan. On the other other hand, the Pakistani government is basically letting the terrorists camp out there and not doing anything about it.
Also, I can't help but think that this was a move done in an attempt to silence critics who've accused him of being "soft on terror" after signing the executive order to shut down Gitmo.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm afraid that most of his executive decisions will be based on shutting up naysayers. I really hope he addresses some real problems instead of continuing to slap band-aids on a system broken beyond repair.Originally Posted by rock_nog

Executive Orders - because the president can make laws. It's in the Constitution. Trust me.

If it killed even one terrorist, it was worth it.

wtf? What are you talking about? I've read the Constitution. Have you? The president can propose laws, and he can veto laws, but he can't make laws all by himself. Not without declaring martial law.
All I'm saying is that; in order to appease the retarded masses, a president will pass laws and make decisions based on what will keep him popular... Unless said president is Bush Jr.

Good job completely missing the point of phattonez's post, firebug.
Every word posted on the internet is meant to be taken at face value. It's an important rule. Trust me.
If it killed 1 terrorist and 21 innocent people, I "think" the terrorists will have won.
