He can't form his own sentences without a teleprompter.
Excellent talking head though.
BO really got stuck when he tried to explain his health care system on CNN last week.

He's also an American, not everyone is ruled by partisan politics. Some actually serve with the hope of doing right by their nation.

Sarah palin is an American too, how many good things has she said about Obama ?
Unfortunately partisanship has taken over down south and it only appears to be getting worse.

How are the two connected? FYI, there's plenty of partisans North of the 49th. as well. One only need look at the Canadian media to see that fact.

No argument from me on that.

It does seem to be gettin worse here aswell. I like politicians who can debate on merit on a floor and go out afterward for a beer.

Alberta was never really debt free in 04. Klein hardly fixed a road or bridge or built a new one for a decade when Alberta's population was exploding. On paper we were debt free when we had billions in infrastructure liabilities that had to be paid for.

He's black and a lot of people do not like him because of that fact. The conspiracy stuff is rediculous, if he were a Muslim what would that matter? I he were a communist wouldn't he have shown some by now it's been 5 years. I he was born in Africa that would have been outted by now despite what super sleuth Donald trump says.

But the article interested me more about the financial aspect and the amount of debt. Not sure if the firing of so many senior military leaders is linked to the debt issue or not, but it is food for thought.
