    The chief executive of BP sold £1.4 million of his shares in the fuel giant weeks before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill caused its value to collapse.

    I couldn't find where it says that he's a pal of Obama. Maybe you have pictures of them playing golf together or something? That wouldn't be you just making stuff up as you go again? Oh the humanity...

    The Deepwater Horizon rig, which exploded causing the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, had suffered a leak in the weeks leading up to the blast, an employee has claimed.

    But that's OK because one of Obama's media wings NBC is helping him out with talking points on the Gulf Oil Spill.

    Some how most of the population seem to be unaware the Obama blocked cleanup assistance offered from all over the world.

    HE WANTS AN OIL SPILL. :rolleyes:

    Joe I used to say you were insane..... but you are BATSHlT FUCXING CRAZY if you think any human on this planet wants this mess!!!!

    It does nothing but cost jobs, lives, raises the price of seafood, kills animals, ruins vacation resorts and tourism dollars, and oh yeah..... IT DESTROYS THE FUCXING OCEAN YOU RETARD!!!

    God damn you say some of the dumbest shit in yor anti-Obama campaign. Just argue that we are still at war and he hasn't kept his promises. THAT we know is the truth.

    Gitmo still open

    Troops in Afghanistan still as well as Iraq.

    His generals think Obama is an idiot.

    He fired his appointed general and hired Bush's ex-general that HE said was an idiot. I guess he is eating those words.

    Oh and it is a FACT that Obama is actively preventing oil spill cleanup efforts and assistance offered from around the world. What other conclusion can one have?

    But I thought these things were all good in a republican perspective. Republicans want the war to continue, no cut-and-run. Gitmo was also something the reps were happy about. And to hire Bush's general should please republicans shouldn't it?

    You should be pleased about all these things. Heck, you should thank Obama.

    :biggrin:

    So why did Obama get elected then. I thought he campaigned on a a Bush is evil "change" ticket.

    Global warming.

    LIES

    Gitmo is wrong.

    LIE

    that's what the Democrats do with the help of the media. LIE LIE LIE and LIE AGAIN. The stupid population amongst us believe all of it.

    What happened to Cindy Sheehan? Where is she at? I thought the left was concerned about troops dying for nothing.

    The left never gave a shit it was all about betraying their own to spite freedom, conservatives, a Republican president.

    True! The extreme left is just as bad as the extreme right when it comes to slamming the opposite party. And all of the things you pointed out are a problem I agree. I want to see Gitmo shutdown. I want to see the wars over with. However, I don't see Obama refusing help from our friends.

    Let me ask this.... if Osama offered to send over 20,000 taliban troops to assist in clean-up efforts.... should we say "DUH.... OKAY!"

    Or should we be wary of alterior motives?

    Im sure if Great Britain wants to send people over to help clean Pelicans and vacuum oil Obama would not have a problem with that.

    And what of the Dutch?

    And the left lie 100 times more.

    Name just one Bush lie go ahead and try you cannot I have established this as a fact in previous challenges on this forum and others no one can come up with an actual Bush lie.

    Yet what did the media CONSTANTLY run with? Remember Al Gores speech with his red face and veins popping out of his forehead. (you won't find it on youtube they hide stuff that makes libs look like tards) BUSH LIED!!! HE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS!!!

    I's sure it would be relatively east to find fifty Obama obvious blatant and provable lies.

    Its not that the Democrats lie its that the media enables them to pull the wool over the eyes of the less intelligent "sheeple" amongst us.


    So there is a perfect example for ya. It's what I'm talking about when I mention dumbing down the masses. We unfortunately are becoming an Idiocracy.

    The "Bush Lied" challenge is always moot because you obstinately refuse to concede any point. I can easily win a "Obama Lied" challenge by continually shouting and plugging my ears with my fingers. But you do make a valid point, no one so far has presented a decent Bush lie. Even one of my own threads was nothing more than a half-baked, last minute, up-past-bedtime effort.

    Try your teeth on those:

    Bush: "I don't think we ought to be selling guns to people who shouldn't have them. That's why I support instant background checks at gun shows. One of the reasons we have an instant background check is so that we instantly know whether or not someone should have a gun or not."

    Fact: "Bush overstates the effectiveness of instant background checks for people trying to buy guns ... The Los Angeles Times reported on Oct. 3 that during Bush's term as governor, Texas granted licenses for carrying concealed guns to hundreds of people with criminal records and histories of drug problems, violence or psychological disorders." Washington Post, 10/12/00
    "He didn't mention that Texas failed to perform full background checks on 407 people who had prior criminal convictions but were granted concealed handgun licenses under a law he signed in 1995. Of those, 71 had convictions that should have excluded them from having a concealed gun permit, the Texas Department of Public Safety acknowledged." AP, 10/12/00



    Bush: "I thought the president made the right decision in joining NATO and bombing Serbia. I supported him when they did so."

    Fact: The bombing of Serbia began on March 24, 1999, and Bush did not express even measured support until April 8, 1999 -- nearly two weeks later. Prior to April 8, 1999, every comment by Bush about the bombing was non-committal. Finally, he offered a measured endorsement: "It's important for the United States to be slow to engage the military, but once the military is engaged, it must be engaged with one thing in mind, and that is victory," he said after being pressed by reporters. A Houston Chronicle story documented the Governor's statements on the crisis and reported that "Bush has been widely criticized for being slow to adopt a position on Kosovo and then for making vague statements on the subject." Houston Chronicle, 4/9/99


    Bush: Discussing International Loans: "And there's some pretty egregious examples recently, one being Russia where we had IMF loans that ended up in the pockets of a lot of powerful people and didn't help the nation."

    Fact: Bush's own vice presidential candidate, Dick Cheney, lobbied for U.S.-backed loan to Russia that helped his own company. "Halliburton Co. lobbied for and received $ 292 million in loan guarantees to develop one of the world's largest oil fields in Russia. Cheney said: 'This is exactly the type of project we should be encouraging if Russia is to succeed in reforming its economy ... We at Halliburton appreciate the support of the Export-Import Bank and look forward to beginning work on this important project.." PR Newswire 4/6/2000.
    The State Department, armed with a CIA report detailing corruption by Halliburton's Russian partner, invoked a seldom-used prerogative and ordered suspension of the loan. The loan guarantee "ran counter to America's 'national interest," the State Department ruled. New Republic, 8/7/00



    Bush:"There's a lot of talk about trigger locks being on guns sold in the future. I support that."

    Fact: When asked in 1999, if he was in support of mandatory safety locks, Bush said, " No, I'm not, I'm for voluntary safety locks on guns." In March of 2000, Bush said he would not push for trigger lock legislation, but would sign it if it passed [Washington Post, 3/3/00;ABC, Good Morning America, 5/10/99]. When Bush was asked, "when two bills were introduced in the Texas legislature to require the sale of child safety locks with newly purchased handguns, and you never addressed the issue with the legislature, and both bills died. If you support it, why did that happen?" Bush said, "Because those bills had no votes in committee." When asked again if he supported the bills, Bush said, "I wasn't even aware of those bills because they never even got out of committee." NBC, Today Show, 5/12/00


    Bush: "We spend $4.7 billion a year on the uninsured in the state of Texas."

    Fact: The state of Texas came up with less than $1B for this purpose. $3.5 came from local governments, private providers, and charities, $198M from the federal government, and just less than $1B from Texas state agencies. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

    None of those are lies. Pick the strongest one you would like to prosecute Bush on and imaginatively label him a liar.
