Its against the law...but

[NOIRTRASH]

Obama awarded 12, 000 federal inmates with Pell grants for college tuition. The law says inmates aren't eligible for Pell grants.

That's alright. It's against the law to listen in on people's phone conversations without a warrant but Bush ordered phone companies to install eavesdropping equipment so it could be done.

According to him we're all criminals.

12,000 vs a few hundred million. Hmmmm

Good gosh a'mighty quit using Bush as a crutch.

Was he right or wrong about Bush?

That's all that matters. Your "crutch" comment does not.

 

[someoneyouknow]

Good gosh a'mighty quit using Bush as a crutch.

Why? If it's okay he ignored the law then obviously it's acceptable for Obama to do the same.

OH MY GOD! THE ECONOMY! THE ECONOMY!

You mean the economy which Bush trashed, sending us into the worst recession in 80 years yet you said nothing about? The one where over 14 million people lost their jobs, millions more lost their homes and where Bush handed over $700 billion taxpayer dollars to Wall Street and the banks so they could pay out their bonuses?

Considering all those jobs have returned, the stock market is soaring and the housing market is on solid ground, it's odd to keep hearing these lies.

OBAMA IS WEAK ON TERRORISM! HE LOVES MUSLIMS!

Yet when Bush ignored 8 months of daily warnings of an impending attack which led to the 3,000 people killed in a few hours, no one called for his impeachment or wanted to see him dead.

When Bush let Osama bin Laden escape because of his daily lies about needing to invade and occupy Iraq, who had nothing to do with the attacks, not a peep was heard.

When Bush said he didn't know where bin Laden was, didn't care where bin Laden was and that bin Laden wasn't important, not a peep was heard.

Considering Obama has killed bin Laden and taken out numerous leaders of Islamic terrorist organizations around the world, and continues to kill Islamic terrorists in general, it's very odd to keep claiming he is weak on terrorists.

You see where I'm going? It's not a crutch to point out hypocrisy. Not a single person on the right who is whining and moaning about how bad things are (though when asked they can't point out what is wrong, they just say things are bad) said word one about the nightmare we had under Bush. Not one. To them it's as if his presidency never happened and everything is Obama's fault.

Or is it Bill Clinton's fault? I keep getting confused because he's used a crutch on the right even though he's been out of office for over a decade.

But Obama didn't ignore the law. A workaround exception to the law was found for a pilot program and that's what they're using. Heaven forbid we'd want to prepare an inmate for a job that will have a chance of keeping her/him from committing crime again when he/she gets out. We so like to spend the money on reprisoning folks rather than educating them into a crimeless life.

If we got rid of criminals we wouldn't have to worry about repeat offenders, would we?
