Yeah ok I was mostly talking about Afghanistan here. But lets not get off topic here, this really has nothing to do with what we're talking about.11 Bravo wrote:

You're right, I didn't see he was quoting something about Reagan. Everything up to that point in the thread had been bitching about Obama bailing on the UK.ruisleipa wrote:
Sorry maybe I misunderstood. I think shifty meant reagan was the best president ever, but you thought he meant obama, which is why i said 'i think he meant reagan'. I didn't mean your statement was stupid, I meant the idea that no US president will ever be (or has been) 'better' than reagan was stupid.
Eisenhower was the last good president this country has had. Reagan had charisma but he was the quintessential deficit spender.
i know. obama is doing what lots of people wanted. dont think you can argue that.ghettoperson wrote:

Who exacly? because i know the British public would expect you to back us up, and i obviously can't speak for US citizens but i would have thought they would be more than happy to back the UK.11 Bravo wrote:

that has nothing to do with it. i mean what game are you trying to play? we can say you owe us for all the WWII shit right? we can play these games all day. fact is, people want the US to "butt out." by people i mean everyone who rejoiced when obama got elected. thats not secret and is well documented.LostFate wrote:

If it makes you feel better, I believe we should be backing you.LostFate wrote:

UK maybe? I don't think Hugo would like if we started getting involved down thereCybargs wrote:
Argies won't do shit. US should park a carrier outside of Argentina for the next few days and see whats up.
UK and US joint effort of course I think the US is staying out of this one for political backlash from Hugo. But the UK has helped out the US whenever they called, and I'm sure the US would return the favor. But Thatcher did gain a lot of political support for winning the war without US direct intervention.DesertFox- wrote:

I think Buchanan, Harding, Coolidge, and Andrew Johnson all have Obama beat by a longshot in terms of incompetence.JohnG@lt wrote:
Equally stupid statement? The guy came in on a wave of 'hope and change' and all he's managed to pass (with a supermajority no less) was a government takeover of GM and a 'stimulus' bill that did nothing more than save State employees jobs.

Granted he just entered his second year in office but so far he's accomplished nada except polarizing the country even more than it was before he took office.
Can't forget Wilson either. But then again, Obama seems to be modeling himself after Wilson...Turquoise wrote:

Most historians don't put Wilson near the bottom like the others I mentioned.FEOS wrote:

Well, to be fair, Taiwan has a shitload of economic worth. The Falklands are pretty much worthless, unless it turns out that this oil deposit is big.War Man wrote:
