You them post a socialist site to show Obama is worse than Bush, but it doesn't mention Bush. I post another link from the same source that does, you don't comment. <br /><br />I then talked about Schamas assessment of Obama, which I find very interesting. You don't mention it, instead you launch a personal attack. <br /><br />Fyi the Green Party is pro small business, not so keen on giant corporations. <br /><br />If this is discussion is going nowhere, is there any point in continuing?Adrian Windischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16306364832746111534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204966244105335828.post-2847479078681020422010-01-13T23:09:37.997+00:002010-01-13T23:09:37.997+00:00I don't expect a Green Party member to be pro-...I don't expect a Green Party member to be pro-capitalist...<br /><br />The paternalistic racism of nice middle class folks not being able to see a black president for what he is, is quaint.thehoatzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080787665247014405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204966244105335828.post-56084798658084273812010-01-12T21:50:36.546+00:002010-01-12T21:50:36.546+00:00I'm watching Simon Schama on the subject now o...I'm watching Simon Schama on the subject now on BBC2, very interesting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00q3kk0<br /><br />Do you expect a socialist website to be pro Obama?

And he has focused on Health care with a hostile congress. <br /><br />He hasnt closed Gitmo yet, but at least he intends to do it. I wish he would leave Afghanistan.Adrian Windischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16306364832746111534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204966244105335828.post-34370679511141845182010-01-12T17:46:34.162+00:002010-01-12T17:46:34.162+00:00I may already had a pretty wide appreciation of Ge...I may already had a pretty wide appreciation of George and all his faults.
