If that were true then you wouldn't be pro-Obama on kicking out the first 100-trucks.

I will resist the urge to call you the name that pops into my mind, because you seem to be more intelligent than that, but let's take it easy on the strawman approach.

In the first place, it's not clear what Obama really wants to do about the trucks. He did sign the bill, but he is only too happy to sacrifice Mexican trucks to get the massive leftist agenda funded. IMO it's likely he will restore the Mexican truck program eventually. Hillary and LaHood are making noises that hint that's what he really wants. Congress can reinstate the program very quickly if it wants to.

In the second place, if you think that the US should continue fighting in Afghanistan for a while at least, I could call you "pro-Obama" because that is what he says he is going to do. To do so, of course, would be preposterous.

If you are going to insult me, don't make it a lame insult like "pro-Obama."

"not clear what Obama really wants to do about the trucks" 

Agreed, but his 'wants' don't matter.  His actions on this issue will cost me money and hurt America; actions matter more than words when it comes to running the nation  On this forum we can see words but not the actions, so here it's the words that matter.  At one point you appear to say you're OK with the 100 trucks, and at another you also seem to say you want them kicked out.  

Your words match Obama's, but personal actions can't be proven here so they're not relevant, even though I have to agree with you that it's sometimes handy to toss out a snide remark or two to keep everyone from falling asleep.  Nevertheless I'll eschew such inane dasituity and not even bring up your lactimastic actions in Obama's support because then I'd only be trading the specious for the mendacious.

My sincere thanks though, for showing how strutting while typing is not only possible, it's fun!
