Obama.

Obama has actually had the strongest ethics of any administration in modern times, which to me suggests that he has strong leadership skills. I would rather have him than anyone else in charge of this nation during a crisis.

What if there is a war? Ron Paul does not have the warrior spirit. I do not see him as a fit commander in chief of the armed forces. In a peaceful world I would vote for Ron Paul in an eye blink. But we do not live in a peaceful world. I want a proper killer in charge of the armed forces. One who will drop bombs and not scruple too much at the collateral damage. If Curtis Lemay were alive and well I would vote for him.

What, you mean he's not a psycho professing mad and counter-productive military campaigns? Sign him up!

So basically you decide that because someone is not a hilariously war-hungry maniac he doesn't have the stomach for a fight. I think it was Sun-Tzu who first pointed out the dangers of a person who was bloodthirsty. Since the USA is at the heart opf many conflicts, maybe you should find a president who knows how to stop them from needing to happen, rather than a psycho who will make more happen, like the Iraq war that so devastated your finances.

Screw Sun Tsu. Lemay nearly won the Pacific war from the air and Truman (a real honest to God soldier himself) ordered the A-bombs dropped on the heads of women and children. These are my kind of people. When fighting a real war the first thing you stop worrying about is collateral damage. Screw the women and children. Victory is the goal!

Our bloodthirsty leadership saved over a million in deaths a casualties. My kind of people.

How is preaching personal responsibility scary.

Granted I think Bachmann is one dimensional, Rick Perry is an idiot, and Ron Paul is plain nuts, but there are some quality people up on the stage.

More and more comes out every day that is debunking the accusations directed towards Herman Cain for instance.

The economy was improving through 2010, as*hole, or don't you remember? That is, they managed to prevent it from spiraling into a full scale economic catastrophe. We hadn't yet finished seeing the fall-out from the big bust in 2008.

We only started having problems again after your Republican friends took over and started playing their stupid games. Everything your buddies in there do scares the pee out of investors.

I don't know what kind of daft, blind fool you have to be to think that our present economic problems are somehow Obama's fault. You don't have a leg to stand on.

As far as his foreign policy, you don't even have the vaguest basis on which to criticize Obama unless you're some one of those as*hole chickenhawks who think that the only good foreign policy is to speak loudly and wave around a rotted pine branch.

And the mess in Afghanistan right now was actually entirely the fault of your buddy, Ronald Reagan. Reagan single-handedly created the mess there, and Bush/Rumsfeld made it a thousand times worse, yet I keep hearing people like you talk about Obama as if he invented the whole situation within a week of assuming office.

You can't legitimately point to a single fault in Obama's foreign policy.
