Obama has botched the recovery

RoyLatham
rengstrom6147

The full resolution is, "President Obama and the Democrats in Congress could have adopted different laws and policies to lead the United States into a more effective economic recovery." This challenge is intended for an experienced debater; please do not accept the challenge if you are new to debating. This is a difficult resolution because it covers so much ground. I contend: 1. The economic stimulus package was a failure. According to Obama Adviser Christina Romer, if it were passed...

George. W. Bush was a better president than Barack Obama is

Yvette

I resolve that the previous president of the United States was a better president than our current president. I will attempt to provide the most objective reasoning for my position and expect my opponent to do the same. We have agreed to avoid semantics and I would like to spend this first round simply agreeing that this is so. In the next round I will present my argument. Thank you for the debate and best of luck....

The Obama Care bill should NOT have been passed

I would like to say a few words here before starting my opening argument. I respectfully request that only an American Citizen please join this debate on the 'con' side. I have nothing against view points from other countries on health care, but with a bill where American tax dollars are being used, I find it to be a more honest debate between two citizens directly effected. If I could have, I would have voted No to this bill and look forward to debating with someone who would have voted yes. (...

president obama's plan for increasing troops in afghanistan is in the u.s. best interest

In an article about Obama's approach on Afghanistan Rebecca Griffin on March 27 2009 said that President Obama was mistaken when he stated in his speech, "the United States of America did not choose to fight a war in Afghanistan." The United States did have to respond to the terrorist attacks on 9/11. There were, however, more effective alternatives to military force, but the debate was clouded in the heated response to the attack. Terrorists are criminals of the worst kind, but they are not...

The Success of President Obama's Afghanistan Strategy depends on our ability to increase the standard of living." this was said by Michael Honda, a U.S congress man of California. he later went on to say that "The security of the American people, a priority made clear by Barrack Obama, is paramount. But it will only be made possible through a commitment to fix the conditions of insecurity in these regions." and I agree with congressman Honda because in order to over conquer the issue of terroris...

My partner and I negate the resolution resolved: President Obama's plan for increasing troops in Afghanistan is in the United States' best interest. We define "best interest" as an activity consistent with guidelines established in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution. We specifically make reference to providing for the common defense, domestic tranquility and promoting the general Welfare for purposes of this resolution. Contention 1: The Afghan army is incompetent and the training them will...
