Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

So you obviously feel that freeing the slaves was a bad thing?
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

The war was not about Slavery.No I don't think it was a bad thing, it was a military tactic. Which was wise of Lincoln.The Civil War was not about slavery. It was about power and money.Tariffs on the South Please look at my responses below to the other dim-bulb who I shut down.And stop hiding behind a button. Down voting does nothing.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

No I think he saved the slaves by letting them free but the south split of to trie to keep slavery.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

Oh, I made my sentence look wrong. Sorry Church Mouse. .
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

The slaves and freedom he saved.The south made the civil war by keeping there slaves.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Haha the war had NOTHING to do with slavery. Absolutely nothing. It had to do with the tax being put on imports: Tariffs. Lincoln started the war. He did "free" the slaves but only so as a military tactic. The Europeans were supplying the South through out the war. As soon as Lincoln said he wanted to abolish slavery (which didn't happen till near the end of the war). Europe having already abolished slavery chose to side with the North or else they would've looked like they supported slavery. Don't tell me the war was on slavery. You need to do some real studying instead of government fed text books in the public schools.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Although I don't feel Lincoln or Obama are the worst presidents to date, I have to point out that the war was indeed not about slavery though. Lincoln freed the slaves because a) it was a brilliant action that undermined all of the South's efforts and b) he probably did believe in freeing them.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoted the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, abolishing slavery.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Exactly, not towards the end of the war. It was a military tactic.You know the 13th amendment also makes welfare UNCONSTITUTIONAL.The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crimeInvoluntary servitude? That's exactly what I am doing when I pay taxes for trailer trash.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

And second of all. That amendment didn't pass till after the war.Lincoln was also not in favor of abolishing slavery, at all.You should read this book, in the link below.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Also, how did he save freedom when the Southern states had the "freedom" to succeed from the country?
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

They could of done it more legal .
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Done what more "legal"?They said hey we're separating and Lincoln said no and declared war.Define "more legal" for me, would you?
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

It appears as you are taking that government sponsored education to heart. Congratulations. Keep GOING SHEEP!!
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Just look at Lincolns wiki page thats where I got it from.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

Great, I am so thrilled that you get your information from wiki."Thomas DiLorenzo calls attention to a vital fact that demolishes the popular view that one of Lincoln's primary motives for opposing secession in 1861 was his distaste for slavery. Precisely the opposite was the case. It is well known that, in an effort to promote compromise, a constitutional amendment was proposed in Congress that forever forbade interference with slavery in states where it already existed. Lincoln referred to the proposal, the Corwin Amendment, in his First Inaugural, stating that he was not opposed to the amendment, since it merely made explicit the existing constitutional arrangement regarding slavery. Of course, Lincoln was here characteristically mendacious; nothing in the constitution prior to the amendment prohibited amendments to end slavery."If you read this, and you are interested to know more and a different story to Lincoln, contiune here at Mises

Sulith is a racist Prayerfails. He's dumb. If Obama was a Libertarian he'd say he was the worst with Lincoln. If Obama was republican he'd say he was the worst with Lincoln. If he was Dave Chapelle, from that episode where Dave Chapelle was a blind black KKK member, he'd say Obama and Lincoln.You're arguing with a retard.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States

Sulith is a racist Prayerfails.This is downright offensive. I merely agree with him on a few issues.So, iamdavidh is a homosexual andsoccer16 or avesdke. He's a fag. After that, it is blah blah blah, then Dave Chapelle. Who is Dave Chapelle? Is he your man?You're arguing with a flaming liberal democratic faggot.

Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

Why was Lincoln the worst president. Do you think we should still have slavery?
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Wow people still think the Civil War was about slavery.Read what I have posted before, thank you.And no I don't think we still should have.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

Churchmouses comment about slavery was not saying the civil war was about slavery. Regardless of the reasons, Lincoln DID free the slaves which was arguably something that would prevent him from becoming the worst president...
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

I have to say "no" due to a technicality. Since he is still in the White House, he IS the worst President in the history of the United States. To say that he "was" the worst President is inaccurate due to the fact that he is still in office.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States

Hell no, Nixon?, Woodrow Wilson?, etal....as if George Washington never did a thinkg wrong .. yeah ... right.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States

Don't forget Roosevelt. I did. ------------------------------------
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

No no no no no no no no no no no. NO. No no. Just because he is the most recent/current president, people identify problems in the country/current anger to his dominance. But quite honestly you've got to compare what he IS doing in the current situation with what someone else COULD BE doing, or has been doing in the past. If someone else were in power right now, what would they be doing differently? How exactly would it be better? If anything, what action they would take would surely be even WORSE. I think Obama seems to have not done anything specifically awful -- nothing that somebody else wouldn't have done anyway.I think it is incredibly over-dramatic to say he is the worst president the US has ever had.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Well I think its a toss up between Obama and Carter....Carter by a nose. No one will ever convince me Obama is a citizen and Carter is a traitor.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Not even close. He's actually one of the best for Healthcare alone. Nearly every President since Nixon has tried to get that done, he's been the first tricky enough to do it. Plus he gave the order that killed the worst terrorist in our generation, and jobs have increased all but a couple months since he was elected after the second worst depression in this country's history. He's actually quite awesome, he's just dealing with a ridiculous congress. Look up fillibusters, they're acting like petulant children in Congress.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

He's actually one of the best for Healthcare alone.Which of course is based on the premise that the health care act was a good thing.Plus he gave the order that killed the worst terrorist in our generationHe played hero for a day. Any president can give an order. It was the military that took Osama out. Not the president.jobs have increased all but a couple months since he was elected after the second worst depression in this country's historyMany of them government jobs which, again, are adding on to how much the county is spending. Money that the country can't afford to spend.He's actually quite awesome, he's just dealing with a ridiculous congress. Look up fillibusters, they're acting like petulant children in Congress.Like the Dems fought the privatization of social security under the Bush administration? That one would have actually saved government money for a change.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

Which of course is based on the premise that the health care act was a good thing.It is. Every country with a similar plan pays less for better healthcare. We pay the most per capita and are ranked an embarassing 27th in the world for healthcare.He played hero for a day. Any president can give an order. It was the military that took Osama out. Not the president.Right. Cause Bush's orders for the 6 years prior were all doing an awsome job of getting him.Many of them government jobs which, again, are adding on to how much the county is spending. Money that the country can't afford to spend.Money spent on jobs adds to the overall economy. That's not a waste of money. And your information is incorrects, more private sector jobs have been created than government jobs and there are less government jobs now than anytime in Bush's presidency. The only time republicans care about how much the government spends is when a democrat is in office so this is a bs argument anyway. If you cared what the government spent you wouldn't be a republican.Like the Dems fought the privatization of social security under the Bush administration? That one would have actually saved government money for a change.Had they privatized social security, it would have been tied to the market instead of guaranteed by the U.S. government, and everyone would have lost their social security when the market crashed, and there would be hundreds of thousands of elderly dying of starvation. Actually most of them would be dead by now. Privatizing social security is class warfare against the middle class. The rich take all that presious social security money they've been jerking off over since Regan, then they loose it on gambles on the stock market while the retiring middle class realizes they can't afford to live on "retirement" because 401 k is privatized too.Your arguments aren't based on reality.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: No

No, that would be Abraham Lincoln for waging an unnecessary war that cost more lives than all other US wars combined. Not to mention several constitution infringements and horrifying war crimes. Obama may be a close second, or possibly third with Franklin Roosevelt in second. Hello Socialist America...

Bush:The Bush administration decided on a course of action and pursued it - convinced that once the decision was made the discussion of "what" was over and needed to be superseded by the discussion of "how." They decided, for example, that we needed tax cuts and they pursued those tax cuts with single-minded determination and got them. Convinced the cuts were inherently good, they ignored the consequences (breaking the budget) in the belief that eventually they'd be proven right. On domestic policy after domestic policy, the Bush administration was fearless in browbeating both Republicans and Democrats. Once a leader decided, everyone else should, in this approach to leadership, fall in line.Consider the terrible consequences of the 'anything goes' Bush Administration, whose irresponsible non-regulation of financial institutions has led to this crisis."Obama in the hardest Presidency of any for 60 or 70 years,with no help from Republican the party of No. I have there where White do everything in there power to have you lose your job its no fun.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: yes

Every presidency is hard. Bush had and has thousands of people calling him stupid and a murdering lier and the whole media machine trying to take him down and he still did what he said he was going to do and what he thought was right. The fact that Obama is black had nothing to do with why people don't like him and you saying that it is makes you a racist.

Former President Jimmy Carter reiterated Wednesday that he believes racism is an issue for President Obama in trying to lead the country."When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bounds," the Democrat who served from 1977-1981 told students at Emory University.I think it's based on racism," Carter said at a town hall held at his presidential center in Atlanta. "There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president."The Georgia Democrat said the outburst was a part of a disturbing trend directed at the president that has included demonstrators equating Obama to Nazi leaders."Those kind of things are not just casual outcomes of a sincere debate on whether we should have a national program on health care," he said. "It's deeper than that."  It’s not like it’s hard to find loads of blatant racism against Obama, but I found a piece by Alan Bock entitled “How brainy is Obama?” over at Antiwar.com to be an interesting specimen.Surprise surprise! It turns out that Obama has “cunning” (animal cunning, perchance?) but nothing “resembling real learning”: He undoubtedly has an IQ slightly higher than normal or he wouldn’t have made it through college and law school (though it might be interesting to see his transcripts, which to my knowledge he hasn’t released yet). But in retrospect what he seems to have displayed throughout his career is cunning rather than anything resembling real learning.Holy cow! That’s nuts on any reading and pretty hard to read as anything but straight up racist. Note the description of George Bush: George W. Bush was not quite the dunce some made him out to be, but one would be hard pressed to find evidence of intellectual curiosity, a philosophy of governance formed by much deep thinking, a willingness to dig into policy details, or a capacity to learn much from either study or experience.So, Bush is brighter than all evidence adduces, but tends not to apply his (minimal?) smarts. Obama is cunning, but dumb. In particular, he’s not learned.If you want more just ask I have tons of proof. I read an research everything.

I can't exactly pick one President. 1) Herbert Hoover: His actions made the Great Depression much worse than what it should have been. He had the national Guard shoot WW1 vets who tried to get their military severance that they were promised. BTW....It was future General Douglas MacArthur that lead the shooting of the WW1 Veterans. 2) Andrew Johnson: Nearly Impeached for the use of the presidential office in an abusive manner. He slowed down the reconstruction of the south and many other reasons.

The honor of being the worst president goes to none other than Nixon. The honor of being a really good president goes to no-one.
Debate: Do you think Obama was the worst President of the United States
Side: no

I get so tired of people saying that Obama is such a bad President. I guess its easy for everyone to forget that Bush Jr/ Sr were not good Presidents and Bush Jr. tried to mess up everything before he left office. If everyone can recall AMERICANS were losing jobs before Obama was even elected. Bush started the unnecessary war that caused some of the deficit that we are experiencing not even including the gas. Bush did everything in power to leave everything in such a disarray and cause Obama to have a hard time. Then when Obama was elected everything he was trying to do REPUBLICANS knocked down causing this mess that you say Obama created. If we stop focusing on him being BLACK we may be able to accomplish more. We are AMERICANS and its time for us to act like it. The land of the free???

Aren't you a Brit who studies Buddhism?

Buddhism is the one good thing about Asia. Everything else about Asia seems rancid to me.

Wow. So you haven't gotten too far in your studies then.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

May I ask why you have come to this conclusion. I'm hardly an arhant yet and I do sometimes behave in a way that is not exactly Buddhist conduct but I would say I know way more than a lot of other lay Buddhists. I have studied the Kadam Dharma, as taught by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, which is part of the Tibetan tradition in depth however I found these teachings perhaps don't resonate with me as much as the Zen/Chan tradition. I meditate often and read from the Pelikan's English translation of the Dhammapada although that is from the Theravada tradition.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

Then it seems quite odd that you would bathe yourself in pride and indulge in hatred for other cultures. Is it possible you have studied much but learned little? Or does your pride in British culture overwhelm your interest in Buddhism?
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

I take pride in my country but no pride in myself and it is self-cherishing and pride which Buddhism discourages. This is because I realize, like how Buddhism teaches, there is no inherently existent self to take pride in. Furthermore I do not hate other cultures. I try not to hate anything as aversion is one of the three poisons which drive samsara. I do not hate other cultures I just think that they are inferior and find many to be barbaric.My spiritual life and my culture and patriotism do not get involved with each other.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

You don't see it as clinging to your culture? Considering it has changed constantly over time, and will continue to do so, like any culture, is this not inviting suffering into your life?
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

I see your point. I am exhibiting attachment but until the day I achieve enlightenment and become an arhant I can't be expected to show anything other than attachment.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

But you can be expected to rally against it. Whatever aspects of British culture you cling to are simply a tiny fragment of the whole package. One that was not always extant and will not always be. Its all an illusion, because, like anywhere else, there have always been many cultures within the British Isles, and they have always been affected by outside forces in one way or the other. And that's just like anywhere else. The countries that have fought against multi-culturalism have suffered greatly (N. Korea as the best modern example), whereas many that are embracing it, say, Canada, are wealthy and healthy. Tradition is only of value when it actually solves problems. When it fails to do so, or those problems are no longer an issue, it is just clinging to the past instead of embracing the ever changing world that is our inescapable reality.

The later part of your post is just your typical yogurt-knitting from the left. You seem to be one of those people who believe in being exposed to all kinds of people out there so you can get the full, rich "tapestry of life". Well I'd say it is more like, to quote Katie Hopkins, a soggy blanket. I do not want to be exposed to certain types of person or certain cultures, beliefs or ideas. If people want to have to celebrate their own cultures that's fine. But they can do it in their own country, not mine. Because this is Britain, not Poland, not Romania, not Pakistan, not Bangladesh etc. I do not want to embrace the world as it is in this "inescapable reality" because the frankly the reality is ugly.
