This was the image I thought of last night at the Debate when Jeb Bush said "If there's one thing about my brother.......he kept us safe."

How in the world can you place 100% blame on W for that?

I put 100% of the blame on the 15 Saudis and 4 other non-Iraqi nutcases that crashed the planes. The statement was that Bush didn't keep us safe. I agree with the Hawaiian. (OUrs, not the one in DC.)

ya know for being so smart ya don't get it sometimes...but that's ok. Figured as much from you...that's why I put that in there, for you guys. The OP had to do with obama taking time to tweet THAT but I haven't seen any other tweets about the police as serenity said he has...at least it hasn't made the news.

Addressing this very point is exactly what I did in that paragraph. How many other issues ought the White House address via Twitter before it becomes acceptable to tweet on this issue? That's an incredibly silly and asinine argument. Whether or not he should tweet more on these other issues (the White House shouldn't be tweeting at all) is immaterial to this specific tweet. Failure to mention other issues doesn't mean he shouldn't have made this specific tweet.

Yes, I understand you're saying he should have mentioned those other issues (which he has). In the overall scheme of things, this is just petty quibbling. There are enough legitimate things to complain about when it comes to this Administration without bitching about what tweets he should be sending out.

Let me explain what you did here: By mentioning the tweet about the kid in Irving, the clear implication is that he should have tweeted on these other issues before commenting on this issue. Had you simply posted a thread about how he has failed to tweet on this or that then my response would have been different. But that isn't what you did. You brought up the kid in Irving making this a 1:1 commparison of tweets past vs. the current Irving kid tweet. That's why Iresponded the way I did.

AGAIN...the point is the news in my part of the world, which I watch every morning...hasn't said jack about what obama has said about the killings...but they made sure they put this tweet up there. I shouldn't have to search...you'd think killing white cops is pretty important that obama and his crew would make sure it's pasted all over everything he's supporting police...

has obama ever tweeted about a Christian student standing up for their beliefs and being chastised/susepended by the public school? doubt it, but I'll let you google it.

I would bet a large amount of money that IF this student wasn't muslim...in other words a plain white kid...he wouldn't have said jack about it.

I would bet a similar amount of money that IF this student was white, he would have earned extra credit for his initiative.

When are they setting up the Circus for this one?

[TAFBSooner]

. . . the White House shouldn't be tweeting at all . . .

. . . because tweeting fails to uphold the dignity of the office?

I honesty don't think that's the case. I really don't. These school administrators are probably not raving right-wing racists ready to throw any kid with brown skin into jail. I think the problem is over-sensitivity, a supreme lack of common sense, zero tolerance policies, and the pussification of America.

Nope. It's definitely not that. I'm not a person who reveres or respects the office of the Presidency like so many people insist we must. The Presidency has become far too imperial for my tastes. The President is a public servant not a sovereign.

I don't like it because Twitter is such a ridiculous plastform and it really prevents any explanation or nuance because of its 140 character limit. We have enough of that in politics -- there's already too much bumpersticker sloganeering.

They don't even have to be racists, per se. They've just been carefully taught that all Muslims are scary. However, I have to agree with you that our societal supreme lack of common sense, zero tolerance policies, and the pussification of America are hurting us.

True dat - but now that TLDR is a thing, that's what we've got. Myself, I like the 140-sentence posts. :-)

Did Bush keep safe the thousands of troops slain in Iraq, the tens of thousand sent home maimed and disabled for life ? How safe did he keep them ?

I don't blame Bush for 9-11 but Jeb telling the family and friends of those victims that Bush kept them safe would be a lie.

Many of whom were in this country illegally on expired visas. And others who were raised(and in a one or two cases born) in Europe. Doesn't that make you excited about the current Muslim invasion of Europe?

Bush IS responsible for 9-11 in the same way his predecessors in the White House were when they ignored and failed to enforce immigration laws aggressively. Those laws were put in place to protect this country. If they are not enforced then those whose responsibility is to enforce them are indeed responsible for the harm that befalls this country when that harm is perpetrated at the hands of those who broke our immigration laws.

Hell, we don't need to worry about sanctuary cities....under Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama we are a sanctuary country.

No, I'm pretty sure Soonerjeep is like me....he could care less whether Obama tweeted on any issue. What he is pointing out is the obvious bias based on race and ideology that the current Divider in Chief uses when dealing with the population he serves. He wasn't elected to just serve those who agree with him or who he thinks have been given a raw deal in this society. Once he takes the oath of office he is the POTUS of ALL citizens but when he so obviously picks and chooses which races and religions he offers support and empathy to he returns to just being a ****ing community agitator who is unworthy of the position he holds.

And BTW, what kind of ****ing immature moron thinks tweeting on social media is a good way to communicate like a world leader? it will take decades for this country to recover from his and GWB's malfeasance in office.

at least we agree on that...

yup

You in the profession? cause I am...and I can tell you it's being shoved down everyone's throat...the promotion of minorities, girls, every group but white males. No way a white male gets extra credit...

Just the opposite...we treat minorities with even more care...don't want to be called racist. but I agree with the rest of your statement.

[Soonerjeepman]

I guess I should blame my local news...I have yet to see them (and I watch it every morning) say anything about obama saying anything about the police killings...but he tweets this crap and it makes the news...
