Well, even in the equivocating vocabulary of our liberal media, there is absolutely no equality between “the buck stops here” and “I read about it when you all did in the newspapers.”
I wish there were democrats like Truman today. Hell, I wish there were more than just a tiny few republicans like Truman today.
> Obama Is No Harry Truman
He’s not even Soupy Sales, because he’s not funny.
In the American republic, the reward for a presidential job well done is supposed be honor and admiration of the ages.
Serve, go home, and be one of hundreds of millions of other Americans who live under the common laws.
We treat presidents like hereditary royalty and wonder why they rule and live forever like kings.
Because he's NOT a President... he's some jerk the DNC scrounged up to be a compliant, unprincipled and irresponsible puppet for their agenda, a wind-up automaton who has no compunction about saying and doing the MOST preposterous, illogical, divisive and Un-American things on a daily (even hourly) basis.
No - a whole new category of comparison has to be created for “O” ... but certainly NOT ‘president’.
“The Obama administration has resorted to public humiliation for Netanyahu, delaying any congratulations for days, while quickly tweeting condolences for Iran’s President Rouhani’s loss of his mother.”
Very soon this bunch of Jr high school girls running America are going to get slapped upside the head by reality.
Worse than James Buchanan.
Harry Truman was no Harry Truman. I used to think pretty highly of him, until I saw how he treated the threat of communist subversion in our government.
It was not only far more important to him and his minions that the interests of the Democratic party were not hurt in the public eye, he approved of the destruction of individual citizens reputations to try to avoid it.
And even with that said, Harry Truman was better than any Democrat President and a vast majority of the politicians and other liberals from the 20th Century on.
“It’s impossible to compare “O” to any other US President.”
No other president has supported our enemies and provided them with nuclear weapons to destroy us. No other president has committed such treason.
If FDR had died a year earlier giving us Henry Wallace as President, and Wallace had beaten Dewey in 1944, our foreign policy towards the Soviet Union would have been like Obama's towards Iran and Muslim extremists.
Yep.
Unbelievable. A Communist, Henry Wallace a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
Mentioning Truman and Obama in one sentence? Is this insult Truman day?
There is no shame when it comes to a Democrat. That’s how they roll.
The other person who was seriously considered in 1944 was James Byrnes of SC, who was certainly very competent. I have run across two explanations for why Byrnes was passed over--that as a South Carolina Democrat he was tied to support for segregation, and that as a former Catholic who had become an Episcopalian, he could have cost the party some Catholic votes.
Because Harry wasn't a commie, kenyan, muslim like Hussein -
HE WAS A NATURAL BORN AMERICAN VETERAN WHO LOVED THIS COUNTRY!.
Not a Harry Truman? Obama isn’t even a George McGovern or a Michael Dukakis.
Or an Al Franken, or even Barney Frank. He is, however, arguably better than Joe Biden.
