How far we've came :(

Having sat through another one of Obama's rare press conferences this afternoon, I found myself longing for leadership of the past. Obama's pre-written talking points parsing words to justify past ridiculous pre-written statements as he simply points fingers at his opposition is a sad state of affairs IMO. It's really hard to believe how far politics have fallen in just my short lifetime

just gotta find a way to get ron paul into office before he dies.

You think that Reagan's remarks weren't scripted? He was a professional actor with training in his craft. I cried when Old Yeller died, but put away the tears when I found out that he was healthy and hale the whole time.

Laughable.

LMAO Reagan was a sincere and genuine man that we laughed with, not at. That was my point Obama simply defends or promotes his politics through adversarial means. As leadership is clearly absent in a court room, we need a leader, not another fucking lawyer in this country IMO.

What is laughable? Besides the fact we have a population of 300mil+ and our last two presidents I would not hire to run
a Walmart, let alone the worlds largest economy.

Have to agree with all our government has gone down hill and fallen off a cliff...

Really? I'd go as far back as Reagan, if not farther.

They are & have been all shills. They love to keep us arguing over the scraps.

Nixon's price controls come to mind

I'm semi settling on FDR. Honestly they all have severe issues. It's sad when you can't look back on a single president in history and say "Yeah I'd support him". I do like Teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln though.

Have to agree with GOD HERE (even though I'm an atheist).

Our elected officials have been pretty terrible for quite a while.

Obama has been particularly bad on marijuana issues though

Last good man in office was JFK

1000 watter illuminati

I think the Presidents are bad because the government has fundamentally become a great agent of mega-business. Since that level of business sees us as only expendable workers or consumers, the government fundamentally disfavors the little guy. And the medium guy.
