Stan Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Nuclear testing Firing off test missiles. Thought they were making headway. We sent over 700,000 servings of soup a while back as starvation is at an all time high there. YET I have to wonder, if another president had not threatened them with a nuclear attack would they have spent their resources on this?

carolaa Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 It's not just a previous president. Obama is refusing to take any options off the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 For some reason ... Obama as president is not the same as Obama as candidate. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Planey Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 For some reason ... Obama as president is not the same as Obama as candidate. You are right. Obama as President seems much more assured, more confident. A true statesman.

Moderators lazarus Posted May 29, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2009 For some reason ... Obama as president is not the same as Obama as candidate. Cos he is now the President, he has the power, the means, the responsibility. The talking is done. Its now time to do. GWB's (Rove) strategy was to always be in campaign mode. Everything was done with an eye on the election. They won elections but damaged the country. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

Dr. Shane Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I cannot see how anyone could believe that Bush's strategy was always in campaign mode. He acted like he was above responding to criticism. The fact that he rarely defended his policies drove his approval rating to be one of the lowest ever. He lost Congress and to a large degree is responsible for the Republicans losing the White House.

Dr. Shane Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 if another president had not threatened them with a nuclear attack would they have spent their resources on this? Who threatened them with a nuclear attack? Did Reagan do that? I know Trueman fired General McArther over the issues of nukes and North Korea. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Moderators lazarus Posted May 29, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2009 I cannot see how anyone could believe that Bush's strategy was always in campaign mode. How about Scott McClellan? He suggests the president and his aides were in permanent campaign mode, putting politics above principle, and chronicles how a "state of denial" led to the mishandling of the response to Hurricane Katrina.

When it comes to being a man of action we shall see if Obama is a weak president or a strong one. John F Kennedy was grossly underestimated by Russia and Cuba. We shall see if North Korea under estimates Obama or if they read him correctly. A man who will not take action when necessary.
