    When you are President and CEO, it works for you. Congress doesn't work for the President.

    It isn't a "fact".

    Now...answer mine (I know...you won't...you just want to change the subject. But have to ask, just to prove you'll do exactly as predicted.)....


    Do you apply that same "It's not the same being a CEO as to being President" standard you noted for Trump....

    to Carly Fiorina???

    - - - Updated - - -

    He's atleast smart enough, he won't bring up Birtherism again.

    He rode that bit of racism to popularity on the Far Right as far as he could.....now?...he'll shoot the horse.

    - - - Updated - - -

    BTW, somebody just told Jeb! that Trump is in the race...

    Don't know and didn't say you were.

    But after the 8 years of this lawless tyrannical dictator's occupation have passed we'll either have:

    ...a cow-hag who will just continue BO's destructive policy and use the office of President to solicit more foundation donations
    ...or an amazingly successful businessman who will run this economy like a Fortune 500 company and bring us out of economic collapse
    ...or hell, Obama just might decide that its racist not to give him a 3rd term and that elections are racist too so he might as well just stay in office indefinetley

    This election for the Left and Right will be nothing but vote pandering identity politics and the usual "I'm gonna help the middle class jerbs jerbs jerbs" lies.

    So why not wave middle fingers at the political establishment and go with an outsider?

    I don't think Trump ever filed for personal backruptcy, just small portions of his overall businesses. But Obama is not like Trump, he doesn't get to bankrupt the government while American citizens still have money left to tax.

    I didn't say anything of the sort, but if you want to go there, how many politicians actually do? Considering Trump has never been a politician, you have literally no basis to suggest that he would buck that extremely common trend.

    And you also have no basis to suggest that following the Constitution would result in things being any better than they are now. The Constitution wasn't designed in our world, it was designed in a world that no longer exists. Pretending it's some kind of saving grace is more than a little naive.

    I'm sure that "major difference" will be accepted when people laugh at a guy who keeps using the term "bankruptcy" to attack the President.

    By those who disagree with him, and I'm willing to bet that if you actually talked to those folks out of the spotlight and away from the hungry ears of their devoted listeners, they'd tell you a bit of a different story. Obama hasn't been that much different than all the other presidents we've had over the years because most of the stuff that gets (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ed about on this forum and across the country are things done by Congress, not the president.

    What do you mean by "knows her place"? What place is that?

    Who would you trust with your money, Obama or Trump? This question is so lopsided it wasn't even fair to ask it....but I did.

    No, you either lied or you dont know what youre typing about.

    heres the real answer
    [video=youtube;KBq9M_copfc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBq9M_copfc[/video]

    In the video he mentions lower birth rate..... Hes talking about the dawn of the abortion age, starting in 1971. Baby boomers aborted all those who would be needed to take care of them in their old age. The aborted need to be replaced or the pyramid scheme will collapse, you know kinda like it is.....

    Ignoring Americas immigration laws, and legalized abortion will be the death of American culture, and America as a whole.....

    and to answer your question, of course.

    I learned my lesson voting for ross perot.

    Lol, America is no where near bankrupt. Jesus Christ

    I'll trust the guy who hasn't filed for bankruptcy twice, and isn't a retarded birther.

    I knew that comments would draw attention.

    Her place is being the wife of someone who built or built upon an empire. She is not out there pretending that just because she married into an empire that it entitles her to tell us what to do. And the few times she speaks it's not about herself or her race.

    No my friend, the Board does not work for the CEO/President; It is CEO/President who serves at the pleasure of the Board.

    Trump filling for bankruptcy twice shows he's willing to take risk to get the reward. Not all business ideas work and sometimes the hit isn't an easy one. As far as voting for him goes, well I'm guessing he doesn't make it through the primary.

    I own a gun and am pro 2nd amendment as well. But even Scalia admitted that there were limits to the 2nd amendment (as there are MOST if not all of them).

    "Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. [United States v.] Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons."​

    -Antonin Scalia

    NO!

    Officers of the company are appointed by the board, and serve at the pleasure of the board. It is the board which serves at the pleasure of the shareholders.

    Very basics of the business...
