A strong economy during a disaster is better than having a weak economy during a disaster. Having a strong infrastructure during a disaster is better than having a weak infrastructure during a disaster. Having an educated public during a disaster is better than having idiots for citizenry during a disaster.

I see nothing more here than "This is better than that" in response to everything I asked you. You have yet to prove what you're saying.


Military spending wouldn't have prevented 9/11. It won't prevent the next attack, whether it comes this year or in ten years or in fifty years. If the US wants to get through the next disaster, we need to build our core strength--and our core strength isn't our military. Not anymore.

The military IS part of our infrastructure! Ever heard of national defense? Guess what that is!

If we want to be relevant in today's world, much of the money budgeted to the military would be better spent on jobs, education, infrastructure, technology, and medicine.

We are already cutting down our military (thanks to the guy who may have spent some time in the Oval Office when he's not on vacation, posing for the cameras, playing golf, guest starring on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, or talking about his basketball brackets) and we're becoming less relevant in the world than ever. Why do you think dictators in the middle east continue doing what they're doing when we make threats? Ya think it's possible that it's because we're losing the ability to follow-up on those threats? No enemy of ours is going to stop any bad thing they're doing or plan to do to us if we lack the ability to stop them.

There's no need for me to prove that a strong economy, an educated public, and an adequate infrastructure make the country better and more resilient. That's kind of a duh.

And nowhere have I recommended cutting all of the military budget. It does not, however, need to be the biggest thing on our plate.

You forgot the "in a disaster" part.

It does if we're actually going to combat terrorism rather than try to show them how much money we have, how educated we are, and how nice our roads look when they attack us.


:mad::mad:!! OBAMA !!:mad::mad:

Is that the only way you have of defending this guy after I show you how he's not even taking his presidency seriously--saying his name? Oh well, I guess there's really not much that can be said about him that can resurrect such a failed presidency anyway.

Sorry, but everything we do shouldn't be to "show the terrorists" anything. That sort of thinking gives them more power over us than they merit.

If we need to show them something, let's show them that we're successful and thriving and that we will not cower behind our military budget.

I have no interest in defending him, at least not here, because we're currently discussing the military budget. There's little reason for you to repeatedly bring him into the conversation.

Well, Obama IS technically the subject of the OP...

That's the point I was trying to make. We don't need to show them anything. We need to do something!

They already see that. That's why they attacked us.

OK, now you're just trolling. The thread is titled Is it okay for me to consider Obama white?

I realize that your debate skills aren't up to par with most of the others here, but you still need to think about what you type.

You only say this at this point, even though we were talking about much more just before you brought up people having a problem with his skin color. We were talking about military budget, and then you bring up his skin color. Don't worry though. You're not the only one who has ever done that when there's nothing left to argue for the administration.

You're the one who repeatedly injected Obama into our conversation about the defense budget, but as I've told you, I'm not interested in defending Obama in this conversation.

Since your posts contain no valid or worthwhile arguments, there's no reason for anyone to ever read another one. Besides, I think you're a troll.

Ignored.

Right. I'm just a troll with 3,090 posts. Do some history checking.

If the defense budget is what we were talking about, tell me this: Who ultimately approves the defense budget? Right! So think twice before slandering a person with the accusation of racism, ok?

Sure, why not, he is half white.

You know, I never quite understood why someone who is born of one white parent and one black parent, is typically, always referred to as black and not someone of mixed race.

really, I mean really, given the history of the US . Iam assuming you are American.

Um...

I like to think of my Obama with a t-shirt while wearing a tuxedo. It is like he is saying, that he is serious, but he likes to party. I like to party and I want my Obama to party to. ;)

Only thing that could make it better is if he had a mullet...
