    If he is a spy then the state department should be able to trade for him, but if he is just a man visiting his grandmothers then we should go in their and take him back.

     If we let him get executed then I hope he was a spy. It will be a bitter pill to swallow, but I can understand it.

    If he was an illegal immigrant Obama would do whatever he could do to help him. In this case he won't want to make Iran mad by saying anything.

    Out of line bvjack, out of line. IMHO anyway. Still, wait for Romney to be elected, then you can have a twofer - your first Hispanic AND Mormon POTUS. How do you feel about that?

    Do you have a problem with someone being a Mormon or Hispanic? I wonder who is out of line here?

    BVjack: nope, neither. Welcome the diversity. If you do too, so sorry for thinking otherwise. Bit of a knee jerk reaction on my part to all the ridiculous anti-Obama posts over the past 3+ years I am afraid. Anyway, even if I don't vote for the person who eventualy gets in, they will still be my President and I will respect the democratic process. Unless it was W and a bunch of lying heathens in Florida......

    Bush should have done more to secure the debt and run the country in a more conservative way instead of trying to get the liberals to like him.

     

     We have a shift in each direction and when the liberals change things the conservatives did and vice versa it becomes a balance. When there is to much of any one side for to long it is hard to get back in balance.

     Now we are off balance with a huge government that has beurocrats makeing rules that make it nearly impossable not to break a rule and get fined.

     With agencies with overlaping jurisdictions and standards that force people to comply with oposing rules with stiff fines for non compliance.

     The elected officials are beginning to have no idea what to do about them much less know what they are doing.

    Now I never said I blame W for all that. Just said I didn't like him. Hmm, wait a minute, you missed he wasn't to blame for Iraq, Afghanistan, etc etc.....

    Nope. Militant Islam forced our hand in both Afghanistan AND Iraq. Same war just different battlefields.
    PS Glad you missed the sarcasm BTW :)
