I can point out quite a few Obama has done himself and even more among the rest of congress.

You are chastising him over something that is honestly irrelevant. Why don't we look at the situation for what it is instead. Russia bullying around a smaller country. Yes you can compare the United States to Iraq, but at what point do we decide to be "bigger" than that.

However I get the feeling if we condemn or berate Russia everyone here will just call the United States a hypocrite and rightly so; what is messed up however is knowing that there is no satisfying a majority of the people that have been complaining no matter what the United States has done.

Regardless of the international situation you will find a reason to dislike the US; and this deeply saddens me that my own fellow Americans can be so ashamed and self hating of their country without reason. I say without reason because the typical reasons brought up would require you to hold disdain for the rest of the world also.
Trust me, I have plenty of reason to dislike the present state that my country is in. Mainly because I have to pay nearly $2,500 for hurting noone at all by having less than 1 gram of marijuana in a small keychain, and I get to spend a year of my life thinking about why I can smoke cigarettes and eventually die from it but I cannot smoke marijuana if I wish to not die and be able to quit easily when I want to. Another because my car is fucked up from 10% ethanol being tainted into my gasoline and me not being warned it would fuck my car up until it was too late. A few hundred dollars later in parts and hours of my time, and it's still not fixed, putting pure gasoline through it doesn't fix it. That alone is enough reason for me to dislike the way things are in my country, just so that some rich fatass fucking oil tycoon can sit back after 20 tankers full of gasoline have 1 free tanker for the 10% ethanol he put in there.

Do I think it's right to tell other countries how to live and what to do?? fuck no, because if any country came here to tell us how to live, we would do the same thing Iraqi's are doing; fighting back to defend their country. We ARE DOING the same thing to Iraq. Who gives a shit, look how much a 1/2 gallon of milk costs, how many of our bridges and roads are poorly maintained. Fuck spending money for another country, we should come first priority, not any other nation. That, my friend, is why I'm unhappy with the way things are going in my country.

John Mccain got 30-40 minutes in some debates, Ron Paul was given 2-5 minutes in debates, that is why I'm unhappy with the way things are in my country. The man who says the constitution is important to follow got pushed under the rug as much as possible. That's why I'm unhappy with the way things are in my country.
