I hope the 9/11 veto gets overridden if he does it. Saudi Arabia sucks.

Although Obama has kind of a point that it then sets a precedent and opens the USA up to lawsuits from foreigners. Solution to that is maybe stop doing illegal war things though!

It sets a "precedent" how? Obama is full of poo poo, he supports the Saudis, and that's all there is to it.

Someone dig up a bunch of DND posts from 2007 about how obama would use his last days in office to fix everything "5th dimensional chess"

he opened up the 5th dimension alright, but it just turned into a wormhole all his campaign financiers can come through hellboy style

I dunno he's ramming through a lot of cool things. FDA regulation of vape stuff, ending "antibacterial" crap, setting aside tons of land and water for nature/fishing preserves, various other stuff.

Maybe look up the definition of the word there guy. If the USA says 'we can sue SA in private for their actions against us' then what prevents European countries from jumping on that wagon and letting their citizens sue the USA in international courts for causing the refugee crisis or whatever else?

The law prevents that already. The US doesn't have to entertain lawsuits from foreign nationals or governments.

If you want to sue the USA in a saudi court, well that's already possible and lovely little tinpot dictators convict US officials of "crimes" all the time.

Look he's not the most amazing president ever but it's kind of silly how people get so gung ho one way or another. Like being normal has just disappeared from the political scene and if you're not decrying Obama as a Muslim sell out terrorist corporatist you clearly must be shilling or something.

Drove past someone the other day who was sitting by his minivan which was covered in 'MICHELLE OBAMA IS A TRANNY' stickers shouting about Muslims. That isn't a good look.

Odds are things are more complex in DC than just the President sitting back with a grin and enacting shadow government policies.

See this is the kind of intellectual dishonesty that turns people off. Sorry but it's totally a good thing that the FDA has been empowered to go after bullshit like that and India/China have nothing to do with it. Besides which we are negotiating with them about using less (or eliminating) agricultural antibiotics.

Being mad at Obama because he can't wave a magic wand and tell India and China what to do is insane.

And I don't like HRC. I'm simply saying Obama is not some mastermind sellout corporatist and it is true that he faced unprecedented opposition from the GOP in nearly every single thing he tried to do. Saying 'nuh uh he controlled both houses and got nothing done!' just makes normal people :rolleyes: at you.

im not sure you even know what youre talking about at all, especially if you think the FDA "goes after" anything except for flagrant violations (after the fact) or perhaps political opponents of whoever currently appointed the FDA

I like how it's now an Obama conspiracy that single payer public option didn't happen even though the GOP explicitely said 'we will filibuster this unless you remove this' and at the time the Dems did not have 60 seats so it was either remove it or nothing. Then the GOP filibustered anyway and the Dems got lucky with Kennedy's seat and managed to squeak it through as it was on the floor before the GOP got the seat filled.

It's also an Obama conspiracy that the GOP then sued over it and took it all the way to the Supreme Court, which was only resolved June 2015.

What exactly is he supposed to do? The executive isn't the king. He can't just force Congress to pass laws nor can he tell the courts to screw off with their injunctions.

There is no bargaining possible when the GOP says 'remove this or we will filibuster it and it will never pass because you don't have 60 seats.'

Well if you think that corporate interests are that ingrained then it really does not matter whatsoever who is president.

If all billionaires and F500 companies were aligned on who the best candidate for them would be then I might agree but that's not remotely true at all.

Actually, since they have bought both parties, they are free to use the stage of national politics to play out their petty internecine squabbles. So no, it doesn't matter.
