    Sure, he admitted them... after being hit with the facts so many times he couldn't deny them... Please, don't come here with the "Bush was honest about his mistakes".....

    A good faith mistake huh? Sure, I am sure that Bush only made "good faith" mistakes... And Obama makes them with thought and on purpose.

    I thought you were an honest side liner? You know, the role you say you give everyone the benefit and how you will wait and see results...

    You know all that jazz you were talking when Bush was in office.. where did that go?

    :rolleyes:

    I have, and already know the answer... I will give you a hint though... Look up this quote: [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] "I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one."

    You will find Bush joking and trying to get off the hook during that interview.

    Bush like ALL the other politicians will lie cheat and steal they way to stay in power... It's nothing new with Obama, what is new is the fact that you guys accepted it back then and don't now. They have a word for that...

    No I don't know that and neither do you unless you have two screen names allowing you to know for certain what the OP meant about his heart being in the right place. Either that, or you have some sort of extraordinary powers. :laugh:

    Unlike you, I cannot separate the abortion issue from Obama. Obama believes and supports and has already signed an executive order to fund killling more babies. That overshadows anything and everything else about your hero. It is not a separate issue and it is not a derail of this thread because it shows his lack of moral character. To admit "I screwed up" (which is rather uncouth for a president to say, IMO, but he had a good example for uncouthness in his Democratic predecessor, which is another thread), is hardly a big admission of a mistake that we should applaud about. It didn't seem to matter over the head of the IRS, did it? The only reason it mattered this time was because Tom Daschle stepped down over the public outcry.

    And here's something else - until Obama changes his position on abortion, you will see my board signature with the links and videos about him killing infants for the next 4 years on every thread I post on. So get used to it.

    I agree, but we can't always get that....

    Again, admitting a mistake after the fact is still better than never admitting it....

    Where in politics do you think that will happen? It won't until we the people take back our country and that from the Democrats AND the Republicans!

    I didn't vote for this guy, I wouldn't vote for this guy, and I don't support a lot he is doing. But that doesn't change the simple fact that you want people to follow rules around here all the while you go and do as you please. In other threads when Bush was mentioned, or the topic was off topic it was brought to the attention of the poster and/or corrected.

    I don't support Obama, but I do support fairness when people want to talk about an issue and instead get hammered by the Off Topic comments. It's these Off Topic comments that got to man elected. McCain and his camp just couldn't help themselves and the real truth got watered down.

    Let's get something straight. Please don't put words in MY MOUTH! I have and will never say he is my hero.

    Please apologize for making that statement. Until you do that, don't talk to me about character and such.

    Obama is pursuing policies that allow the killing of innocent people for the convenience of others. He is not even risking their lives for a good cause.

    You can’t have it both ways. If it is good to admit mistakes, then you have to say that Bush did what was right. But I am not defending Bush. He should have acknowledged his mistakes earlier than he did. My problem is the senseless defense of Obama on this inexcusable issue.

    I am not. So you give him more credit than I do.

    He certainly did. He knowingly appointed and defended tax cheats for cabinet positions. He is knowingly breaking his campaign promises about lobbyists. He is knowing jeopardizing human life with his abortion policies. He is knowingly jeopardizing further than US economy with his stimulus plan. These are all things that he knows better about. He pursues them anyway.

    Nowhere, I am not judging what Obama might do. I am talking what he has done.

    Then why blast Bush. He acknowledged mistakes after the fact.

    Nowhere, particularly until people quit defending this nonsense from Obama and stand up and demand it to be different. You are part of the problem, not the solution. Obama was wrong. It doesn’t make it better than after the fact, after Daschle withdrew his own name, Obama says something. Obama should have withdrawn Daschle as soon as he knew. It was a sheer absence of character that he didn’t.

    I agree, but giving it to people who think like you seem to think is hardly better.

    Especially when the report post button is used. We mods can't be everywhere 24/7.

    Please re-read my post above about Obama, character, and abortion. They are related. They are not off topic, they are concerning the same person, not derailed to talk about another person, such as you are attempting to do by bringing up McCain. And were you the first one to bring up Bush in this thread? I'll have to check on that.

    Well, good. But you are defending him as if he is your hero. No doubt I'm not the only one who has noticed that around here.

    Okay, if he's not your hero, then I apologize. Please stay on topic which is Obama.

    It is refreshing that you admit he is not the messiah or walk on water. I assume when you are talking about his heart you are talking about that organ that pumps blood. I also assume it is in the right place, roughly the center of his chest.

    If by his heart you mean that which differentiates man from animals I have yet to see any evidence as to it being in the right place, perhaps it is in the Wright place.
