The top nine "changes" Barack Obama would make as President

#5) Legalizing Marijuana: Obama, a former (we hope) druggie, who has admitted to using marijuana and cocaine, has said that he favors "decriminalizing marijuana." Perhaps you can't blame him for wanting to make it easier for people to get drugs since, after all, he used them and look how he turned out. If Barack gets into the White House, one day mothers all over America can tell their children that they'll never be anything in life if they use hard drugs and those children can reply, "Well, at least I can be President!"

If you voted for Bush you voted for a man who as an adult got a DUI and would only admit to having not used drugs the previous 25 years before the election in 2000. Notice he never said I have never done illegal drugs. Now I give a shit what he did when he was younger but if you are going to spout this right wing bullshit then at least own up to the fact that this president had substance abuse issues. He has
 
I've never heard of Obama doing cocaine, and I'm pretty certain Acorn just made it up.

But being that a majority of Americans have done pot, I don't think it's going to resonate with America very well if the uber right keeps hammering this.
 
#10) Appoint liberal judges to the courts who will rule accoring to how they feel society should be, rather than according to what the law says.

This is a bullshit statement. Justice Antonin Scalia ALSO does not rule according to the law. He does not believe in an absolute warrant requirement under the 4th amendment. He has repeatedly in his carreer upheld warrantless searches based on "exigent circumstances". Those two words appear NO WHERE in the 4th Amendment. Further, Scalia has said that evidence gathered in violation of the 4th amendment should be admitted against the defendant, that prosecutors should not be punished by the bad acts of the police and that defendants can sue the police for violating their 4th amendment rights. Scalia is basically for making the 4th amendment toothless.

In Hudson v. Michigan, the court ruled 5-4 that if the police enter a suspect's home without knocking, this does not make the search unconstitutional.

The majority emphasized it was not giving a stamp of approval to no-knock searches. While the rule requiring police to knock, announce themselves and wait briefly before entering a residence is not part of the Fourth Amendment (which protects citizens from unlawful searches), this procedure long has been a part of common law.

What the court held was that a violation of this rule unlike, say, a search without a proper warrant is not serious enough to require throwing out the evidence found in the search and letting the defendant go free.

the whole of this article can be found here http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/276837_cathyoung09.html and you can look up the case on findlaw or just google it and it will come up. Then you can see what overwhelming respect the most conservative justice on the court has for YOUR fourth amendment rights.

He said he smoked pot and blew coke when he could afford it.

Which makes him like every other college student with a life.

There is absolutely no way that every college student with a life "blows" coke. That's just projecting, dude.
 
#1) Weakening America's Military: Barack Obama has pledged, among other things, to make defense cuts during war time, to cut spending on national missile defense, that he won't weaponize space, to slow development of future combat systems, and to seek a "world without nuclear weapons." Is this a man who can be trusted as Commander-In-Chief?
so what weakens our military more.. spending 3Trillion on a quagmire and ruining the military recruiting numbers? or pulling our troops out of combat areas of iraq and focusing on higher military technology

#2) Losing the War in Iraq: Obama is promising to throw away the hard earned gains our troops have made in Iraq by immediately removing combat brigades each month, regardless of the situation on the ground, and by having all of our "combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months."

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff publicly warned Barack and, for that matter, Hillary that they could create a "chaotic situation" with their policy that could take the "gains we have achieved and struggled to achieve and turn them around overnight." Come on, Admiral, don't you know that Obama isn't going to listen to what the military has to say about a war when there's an election to be won?
what are you getting out of this war? seriously think about something for a change. I would like to know why you support staying in the war

#3) Gay Marriage: Although Barack Obama claims to oppose gay marriage, in 2004 he said that he opposed the Defense of Marriage Act, which is the only thing keeping the courts from imposing gay marriage on the whole country. If you want to see gay marriage become the law of the land in your state, no matter what the voters think, vote for Obama.
why do you hate gays? who cares if they get married. what does it really matter?

#4) Pro-Partial Birth Abortion: It's never a surprise to find a Democrat who's a big fan of abortion, but Obama goes above and beyond the call of duty. He had a perfect rating of 100% from NARAL in 2005, 2006, and 2007, opposes "notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions," and he even opposed banning partial birth abortions. If you want to see as many women as humanly possible in this country putting their own children to death via abortion, vote Obama.
womans right to chose should not be infringed. besides we got way to many unwanted kids as it is. and this issue just isnt that important

#5) Legalizing Marijuana: Obama, a former (we hope) druggie, who has admitted to using marijuana and cocaine, has said that he favors "decriminalizing marijuana." Perhaps you can't blame him for wanting to make it easier for people to get drugs since, after all, he used them and look how he turned out. If Barack gets into the White House, one day mothers all over America can tell their children that they'll never be anything in life if they use hard drugs and those children can reply, "Well, at least I can be President!"
what are you a fucking nerd. highest incarceration country in the world is America. your war on drugs is the most fiscally reckless policy going today. Republicans allowing the MORAL RIGHT to run there party has turned them into the fiscal liberals worse then dems.. At least dems want to give us free health care with the same money that you waste on pointless oil wars and wars on pot smokers

#6) Handing 845 billion dollars of your money to other nations: Obama's Global Poverty Act would commit the United States to spending, over the next 13 years, 845 billion dollars more than what we already do on global poverty. Obama followed that up with a release that said in part, "It must be a priority of American foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty..." If Obama actually believes that not only is the United States capable of "eliminating extreme poverty," but that we should actually make that utopian dream a "priority," then he's far too naive to be in the White House.
so its ok to take my money, 3trillion of it, to rebuild iraq.. but not ok to help countries that are starving? Hypocrisy at its finniest

#7) If you think George Bush is a big spender, you haven't met Obama: Even though the United States is already running a deficit, Obama is planning to push a whole host of new big government programs including a "10-year, $150 billion program to establish a green energy sector," a "$60 billion National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank," and a "nearly universal health care plan (whose annual price tag he low-balls at $50 to $65 billion)." If you're all for tax and spend liberalism and watching the deficit spiral even further out of control, there's no one you should want in the White House more than Obama.
you must believe in the economic school of dumbasses. Wasting 3 trillion in iraq is far worse for our economy then to invest into a budding potential golden (green) era for America. bush is more fiscally liberal then either Clinton who i hate and obama

#8) Amnesty and your tax dollars for illegal aliens: Believe it or not, John McCain, the Republican who is most closely associated with catering to illegal aliens, is actually well to Barack Obama's right on the issue.

Obama favors drivers licenses for illegals, wants to give illegals welfare and Medicaid, wants to let them participate in Social Security, opposes making English our national language, and he favors a comprehensive approach to illegal immigration, AKA amnesty, that even John McCain now claims to oppose.
same people like you were bitching about the Irish and Italians coming here. If you haven't noticed the Mexican people are hard ass workers... OUt of all the immigrants we can get.. they are not bad to get at all. This land was founded on immigration.

#9) Gun Control: Obama is a perfect example of the stereotypical, liberal gun grabber. Obama has pledged to "Ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons," has "opined unequivocally that D.C.'s ban was 'constitutional'," and in 1996, Obama, in a survey, "supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns." If you're an opponent of the 2nd Amendment, who believes law abiding citizens shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves, Obama is your man.[/QUOTE]

only point in this rediculous post that remotely agreeable. Dems need to shut the fuck up about our second amendment rights.

I don't know if you know this, but our military has been weakened significantly by 5 years of being in Iraq with soldiers having doing 3, 4 and even 5 tours there. The Pentagon has already said that our ability to fight another conflict now has been compromised. Weaponizing space and a missile defense program right now are ridiculous. That money should be spent trying to increase the size of the ground forces and supporting the wounded that have returned from Operation Clusterfuck.
 
So on 1-5 he is for limited government where McCain/Repubs are not. 6-9 he is for big government just as McCain/Repubs. Go Obama!

Yes, good thing or somebody may think people use coke on a regular basis. Mountain Dew is far more likely to have been used by every college student than such an old fogey drink like coke.
 
Surge was the stuff back in 98-01! Biggest soda craze in my life, and I loved every minute of it. The Coke pulled it from the market...
