obama's got enough experience

figured this should be addressed in its own thread. since it's important. onea those "obama's a a nazi, the antichrist, a muslim in kahoots with bin laden" things that need addressed. well, the argument about experience has some merit more than that, but definitely not as much as most people think. 1. Theodore Roosevelt (42) 2. John F. Kennedy (43) 3. Bill Clinton (46) 4. Ulysses S. Grant (46) 5. Grover Cleveland (47) 6. Franklin Pierce (48) 7. James A. Garfield (49) 8. James K. Polk...

Obama's Stimulous plan is going to be a complete failure

"Simple math and economics 101" is all that needs to be said in my opening statement to make my case. Printing worthless money will only create inflation and make the problem worse. I have history on my side. History has proven time and time again that all of his ideas will fail and fail miserably in a capitalist economy. It would be a perfect plan if one was going to create a socialist/communist society. Nationalize all banks as is being suggested and most likely will be done. Expand the welfar...

Obama's Spending is Ruining America

I say that Obama and his cabinet are ruining our great country with over spending and overstepping their political boundaries. In the first two months of his administration he has put into motion bills that will spend trillions of American tax dollars. Yes trillions. To me that is unacceptable. He took responsibility for the country and he is not treating it well. In a down economy spending is the LAST thing you want to do. We need a few things from Obama. 1. Tax cuts for the middle class (ac...

Obama's Stimulas Package Was an Utter Failure and a Second Stimulas is Unacceptable

I will let my opponent start this debate. I would first like to set up a few ground rules. No insults No cussing and please do not act like you are better than anyone else First I would like to define the what I mean by Stimulas Package. I am talking about the multibillion dollar spending bill passed a few months ago by the Obama administration. Please follow these rules and I challenge anyone who wants to take my debate. Thank you...

Barack Obama's Health Care Plan is simply this... Better than McCains!!!

My argument is simple as this... Barack Obama's plan to solve our healthcare crisis is better than McCains! 1. It involves NO government hound-outs!!! 2. It balances inusrance costs by UNAVOIDABLE competition...not by the possible comptetion that McCain hopes will happen 3. Creates an enduring fence around healthcare costs that isnt hands on or government controlled. Its free-market! Unlike McCains plan, Barack's will last indefinately, not provide only immediate relief. 4. Obama's plan...

President Obama would destroy Bush in an election

Well lets see if Obama and Bush were to go against each other in a presidential debate Obama would win and here is why. First of all Bush lied through his teeth when he ran the last time, talking about he was going to fix everything as for Obama is doing what he said he was going to do and then some. Two Bush did not do nothing his first 100 days in office as for Obama he traveled around and met many other presidents and actually sat down and talked with them. Obama was not the only one...

President Obama's plan for increasing troops in Afghanistan is in the US' best interest

I'm gonna go ahead and post my case in round 1. Thanks to anyone who accepts; this'll be practice for both of us. I'm running con because this is now my personal final version. Good luck.

Obama deserved the Nobel Prize

Barack Obama will be a great leader because he gives great speeches and promises hope and change.
