Thread: Who should be the next President?

I do have a sense of humour and I do live in the real world. I don't for one minute suggest that politicians are little angles and that the corporate giants of this world have never hurt any one, I am just saying that the way you wrote your post suggests that just because Clinton is a woman means she shouldn't be running for presidency, just because Obama is coloured suggest he shouldn't be runnnig for presidency and that in the last case age means you can't run for presidency. I was hoping that you may have actually dismissed these people on their capabilities (or lack of) rather than their genetically inherited characteristics. Perhaps I was wrong.

my problem with Hilary clinton as a future president? i know it as sexist as all get up, but women simply are incapable of making critical decisions rationally, hell, come that special time of the month they cant do ANYTHING rationally, just ask any married man

as for the sexism part and her ability to run a country? just look at what margaret thatcher did to the british economy and industry in the early 80's

my problem with obama? no so much his color, but that he's a follower of islam, a faith that supports forcing itself on others at all costs, which thousands of extremeists are willing to martyr themselves for, but the moderates who plead for leniency do nothing to stop the people that give thier faith a bad name...... i see nothing good coming from an islamic leader of the USA, hell, look what happened to JFK, and he was a CATHOLIC!

One of my favourite lines from a movie comes from one of the Tom Clancy book screen adaptions .... I think it comes from "The Hunt for Red October" it states ....

"Mr Ryan, I'm a politician and that means I'm a cheat and a liar and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops". Classic pollie stuff that.

I wouldn't vote for any of the idiots anywhere, especially after seeing what we have in this country.

At a stretch if I had to pick one, it wouldbe the old dude, I think his name is John MCCAIN or something. At least he sems to hate the same things as me ..... won't go into it but that's my 2 cents worth ........

I wonder if Hillary smokes cigars .....

Sprint, are you sure you're not a facts checker for ACA/TT

Not going near the "incapable women" thing, but I'm no fan of Clinton and she has already run the country for 2 terms
Thatcher was a useless specimen, I'll agree with you there. They should've got her in the Brighton.

Obama's not a Muslim either, he's a Christian. His Dad was, but he's not, he went to secular and Catholic schools, and has gone to the same christian Church for 20 yrs.
Maybe he's a 'sleeper', plotting a US overthrow hey?

There are plenty of "Christians" that give their religion a bad name, Islam doesn't hold the monolopy on that one either.
I don't think JFK being shot, had anything to do with him being a Catholic either

Try this for size:

It is always a good idea to check your facts first.
That way the "Forum Police" won't run you down

never said that islam had a monopoly on anything, but they certainly do make a lot of unwelcome noise

how is it that the country can have thousands of public, non discriminatory schools teaching the required curriculum, but as soon as a local council refused to allow a school speciifically for muslim students, teaching a curriculum based on islamic beliefs and practises, (did i hear someone say discrimination?) the media and the islamic community start jumping up and down saying its racism!

now, i could be wrong here, but i allways thought that Australia had a standard of education that was in some way a legal requirement? so how the f**k can it be racism?

relatively popular belief for years...... though many put it down to pure conspiracy theory

It says there that:

In The Audacity of Hope, Obama writes that he "was not raised in a religious household." He describes his mother, raised by non-religious parents, as detached from religion, yet "in many ways the most spiritually awakened person that I have ever known." He describes his Kenyan father as "raised a Muslim," but a "confirmed atheist" by the time his parents met, and his Indonesian stepfather as "a man who saw religion as not particularly useful." In the book, Obama explains how, through working with black churches as a community organizer while in his twenties, he came to understand "the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change."[147] He has been a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ since 1992.[148]
