10. Eishenhower was frightened of getting involved in a "local issue" in Little Rock, Arkansas.

15. I do believe it is his duty to protect Americans and uphold the constitution.

I recall an earlier Democratic president threatened to send in troops to protect civil rights marchers. It was right to protect those peaceful marchers then and it is now.

3. The President is bought and sold.

His bosses own him.

Yeah, I said it.

He isn't our President.

12. Right, cause the left and the right in this country are exact same :rolleyes:

[texanwitch]

6. That is the problem.

Hold your nose and vote for Obama and get a republican, or don't vote.

He wasn't my pick when he ran, he was picked for us in 2004.

7. Well, that idea can be safely consigned to the "Fat Chance" shelf.

9. But...but..."He can't do anything! Anything at all!"

:popcorn:
Waiting for the President's address on the situation.

11. REALL!!?!?!?!?!? You guys are serious aren't you!?!?

Then Obama gets involved, someone is hurt and Obama is blamed...

You people are blatant and obvious

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. "..someone is hurt..." Didn't stop Obama from escalating the lost war Afghanistan.

And, he sure as hell, should be blamed for the deaths there.

14. "You people?"

Who do you think "those" people are?

[EFerrari]

16. LOL. That's right. The important part is not protecting people from harm

but that Obama isn't blamed.

[piratefish08]

17. if he DOESN'T get involved and someone is killed, he will be blamed.

yes it's getting THAT fucking serious in NYC right now.
