I understand that this is a political issue. My gripe was with the allusion to "hope and change" and all the pointless political back and forth that it leads to. Basically, in my mind that was just as useless as discussing this issue through the use of an Internet meme.
The poster of that subsequently went on to provide some great thoughts about the subject to which I agreed.

The left wants to punish those evil airlines who are "gouging" people (Hillary's words). I'm sure letting in an anti labor airline to drive down prices even more for the "common man" is exactly what they want to do.

Then perhaps you shouldn't "blame" anyone without knowing what you're talking about. See below....

You are correct, Sir.

Haters gotta hate. You think Trump would change anything? The guy who uses illegal labor to build his buildings? The one who rips off students at Trump U?

Both programs that originated in Republican dominated Administrations. Again, as always, let's blame the President for everything from Gitmo (Cause: Mr. Bush's War) to a snowy day. Again, haters just gotta hate.

So what? Ever heard of the veto? Even if they "originated in Republican administrations" doesn't mean a dem has to sign it into law.

Interestingly, and undercutting your point entirely, both democrat administrations took great credit for both programs.

That's how it works. The CEO is ultimately responsible, just as a Captain at sea or in the air is.

Not the Clintons. Not by any stretch of the imagination. But Obama definitely fits the bill (see: Obamacare).

All I'm doing is pointing out how ridiculous your previous contention was/is.

Go drink some more kool-aid.

Stop the arguing. Concentrate.
This is your future if you let "flag of convenience" stand.

Okay. So witty. But if Obama is a socialist, why would he push so hard for a free-trade deal that Wall Street supports and labor is against?

I lol'd.

Debating with...much less attempting to inform...one such as you is a pointless exercise and thorough waste of time.

Go drink your kool-aid and keep pretending you know what you don't know.
