Bush-haters & Obama-lovers, please explain this to me?

Question

A) Bush = SAVAGELY CONDEMNED for alleged infringement of civil liberties through the Patriot Act.

B) Obama = LOVINGLY PRAISED for actual infringement of civil liberties through Health Care Reform

?

Answer 1

Whats even more ironic...Obama SUPPORTS the Patriot Act.

Answer 2

Easy,



A. Bush was condemned for a lot worse than just the Patriot Act and promoting torture.

That is in the past and shouldn't matter anymore. We should look to the future.



B. Obama is not being "Lovingly Praised" He is taking a lot of heat for doing what he promised he would do when 60 million Americans cast their vote for him. He is standing up for what he believes in.



There are no infringements of civil liberties in a bill that would insure millions of those who today would go bankrupt if they had a medical crisis. . Anyway nothing has been done yet. This is only a bill, not a law so there is no way it could be doing anything to anyone.



Happy to help.

Answer 3

You didn't even have to change the words:



Obama = LOVINGLY PRAISED for alleged infringement of civil liberties through the Patriot Act.



Obama extended the patriot act. Libs hated it when W did it, but when O does it, they love it. Libs hated the 12-Dec-2011 withdrawal date from Iraq that W negiotiated, but loved it when O announced the date of 12-Dec-2011 instead.

Answer 4

I'm not saying my opinion here, I'm just saying Bush was both hated by some and loved by others and the same goes for Obama.



I think people really ought to keep there hate speech and angry opinions about people and put energy into things like their own jobs, families, or helping their local communities.



Yelling and screaming about things doesn't get you far, those aren't efficient actions yet I'm sure that most of the responses you will get will either be hate speech, people forcing their opinions on others, or just ranting about something that doesn't need be ranted about. (Besides, many people who will argue are uneducated about the issues at hand.)



Everyone has their opinions of both, why not take them up in places where you can make changes? You really aren't going to make much of a change through a post on Yahoo! Answers compared to going to Town Hall Meetings and other groups within your communities.



Make a difference, if you don't try, please don't whine and moan while you sit there and do nothing about it.

Answer 5

You have that a little backward...the Patriot Act wasn't an "alleged" infringement on Constitutional rights, it's a DIRECT infringement. And you'll have to explain to me how trying to reform health care is an infringement on civil liberties...

Answer 6

Alleged infringement? Actual infringement?

LOL



It doesn't matter what anyone says here you are already decided on how things are. That you refuse to see reality is something funny and sad.



Newt Gingrich is the one that wanted all our medical records digitized if you remember. He is hardly a liberal. You need to read more stop taking things on faith and look around see the world as it is not the way you fear or hope it is. Start by fact checking.



Maybe one day you will join us in reality.

Answer 7

A) The gov can look into whoever he wants for any reason without the consent of a judge. This is the truth, so you can drop the "alleged."

B) Please give me examples of these infringements that the gov does not already have? Is the gov. going to use legislation from heath care reform to investigate someone?

Answer 8

He's Obama. Everything he does is right. Even if it's wrong. It's called a cult following. Ever try having a political discussion with an Obama lover? It's like talking to brick wall. At least the brick wall doesn't run away.

Answer 9

If you view providing health insurance to the less fortunate as an infringement upon civil liberties, I truly pity you. Something terrible must have happened to you during your life to make you such a vile person with such twisted values and perverted morals. I genuinely feel sorry for you.

Answer 10

Obama has also expanded the scope of the Patriot Act too, dont forget, not to mention voted in favor of it at the outset....but that seems to be ok. LOL

Answer 11

Is the PATRIOT ACT not an actual infringement of our civil liberties? Both are puppets so don't waste your time.

Answer 12

Bush allowed the Fed to secretly watch any citizen based on a secret warrant. I'm deeply disappointed by this, and even more so that obama plans to continue it.



Just how does providing healthcare for the poor infringe on civil liberites?

Answer 13

Bush and Obama are both the same, they are all under one government. Think of politics as wrestling, they are just there to put up a show

Answer 14

Um, Obama didn't infringe on anyone's civil liberties. Do you want to have an honest debate or present obvious bullshyte as facts?

Answer 15

I prefer Obama because he signs my paycheck.



But other than that, I think Obama should just calm down.



Oh darn, Nancy told me not to talk in public. Oh well, I'll just drink it off

Answer 16

Bush is white....Obama is Black



He showed much promise until it was turned into a racial matter!

Answer 17

They can't explain it....but be prepared to be attacked for asking.

Answer 18

You have the words "alleged" and "actual" backwards.

Answer 19

spot on Sheesh, spot on

Answer 20

exactly....? my thoughts exactly.....your F@$@ed if you do.....your F!#%ed if you dont!

Answer 21

its called hypocrisy.

Answer 22

OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
