The war of words between the Obama administration and Fox News, and the hoaxes played on the news media
Mirrored from this video - www.youtube.com All politicians sound good running for office, but we need to look at their actions, NOT their words. George HW Bush - George W. Bush - Barack Obama. Three different men, three similar Presidents. Top 3 Obama Excuses 1. Give him time - The Job is 4 years long. He has been in almost a year. I think he has had plenty of time. 2. He is better then McCain - I agree, but that is not saying much. He is not better then Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich. Has it not been made abundantly clear that this fake Democrat and Republican thing is a complete and utter joke? They all act like they have all the answers when they have no control, but when they get in office they mess it up. This has been the same sick joke for about 4 decades now. 3. He inherited a bad job I agree, but he is not going in a different direction than we were already headed. If he were changing course I think we all would and should be more patient. The facts clearly state otherwise. FACT: (google any of these topics and you will see several articles confirming these. It is not my job to do your research and many of these are already in the video itself being reported by the mainstream media. That is how bad it is right now. Even they cant cover for all this nonsense.) The economy is worse now after his stimulus. Unemployment went to over 10% even after the stimulus when they said it would not get that high if we passed it. Guantanamo Bay is not going to be closed on time, if <b>...</b>

Will the United States opt to send 44000 more troops to Afghanistan as part of a counterinsurgency strategy, or will it opt for a smaller counterterrorism force? With a decision expected in the next few weeks, reports indicate that President Barack Obama is looking for a middle-of-the-road plan. But is there another, possible fourth option? Just last week, Matthew Hoh, the former US Senior Civilian Representative in Afghanistan, announced his resignation, saying he no longer saw the value in continued US involvement in what was essentially a 35-year-old civil war. In an emotional four-page resignation letter Hoh said, Like the Soviets, we continue to secure and bolster a failing state, while encouraging an ideology and system of government unknown and unwanted by its people. So is it time for the United States to withdraw from Afghanistan? On this episode of Riz Khan, Anand Naidoo interviews Matthew Hoh.

"What are we doing in Afghanistan? This is absolutely insane ... 15 of the 19 hijackers, terrorists, killers, of 9/11 they were from Saudi Arabia. In fact there wasn't one Afghanistan citizen amongst them. We have been in this war for twice as long now as the US was in World War II, twice as long as world war II. We defeated Hitler and Tojo and Mussolini in half the time it's taken us to find Osama bin Laden ..." Michael Moore
