Obama has his hands full

Looks like the Dear Leader has more problems now than he can deal with:

May every single speck of crap flying from the fan stick to him. It is ALL his doing and he is trying to separate himself from it and say he didnt know anything about. HE IS THE WORST PRESIDENT...Ever.

I think Bush was worse, but Obama has not done anything to fix the mess Bush made. I don't know how he really could do anything at this point, since he can't get anything passed through Congress.

And what he did get passed before 2010 just made things worse (which is why the Republicans were able to take over the House of Representatives in 2010). No businesses want to hire anyone since they will have to buy health insurance for them thanks to Obamacare. The only reason unemployment is going down is because they only report people in the first 99 weeks, after that they fall off the report.

So many people are permanently unemployed now, that the economy is ruined. A lot of this is due to automation and sending the jobs overseas too. This is happening to every country now, Europe is in worse shape than the US.

The only thing keeping us out of the Great Depression is the massive amounts of money ($4 trillion so far) created by the Federal Reserve to prop up the banks and the stock market.

Obama is just wandering around lost and making a bigger mess... He is wayyyy out of his league. But at least he is not actively trying to destroy the country like Bush did. They both suck.

I think I will stay out of this thread. My views are very different than Obit. My profession has not changed w/ any of the last four terms of Presidents.

Not me! It is the responsibility of every decent american to show his brother that he has been fooled by a very cunning adversary. If you think he has nothing to do with what is going on then you have been decieved. Do your self a huge favor and read Kruschev's comunist manifesto written back in the 60's. It will open your eyes and change your perspective, and not in a positive way. The things that are happening are deliberate machinations designed to reshape this nation into a more compliant, socialist one. We have been defeated by socialism/communism without a shot being fired. The transformation will be pursued in an increasingly aggressive fashion , especially if the Democrats take control of the House next year,and soon you will wish that little bastard Obama had never been born because of all the heartache and destrucion he will wreak in America. Any man who refuses to get involved in politics is doomed to be ruled by his inferiors.

I never liked politicians of any kind since by their very nature they need to deceive people to gain power over them.

I don't like dishonest people and I don't get excited about people who seek to control others. So to me all politicians suck whatever their political agenda. I prefer freedom. I guess that makes me a libertarian, though I have never voted for them.

All politicians running for president have to come from one of the extreme fringes in order to secure their party's nomination, then they have to pivot to the center in order to govern the country. Clinton started out a far left politician and once elected he had to go to the center. Bush started out extreme conservative and moved to the center, by letting Congress get whatever they wanted after 2006 when the Dems took over Congress.

Obama started out far left and lost the House to the Republicans in 2010 for passing the Affordable Care Act (which so far is increasing costs for both government and consumers, to the delight of the insurance companies). He has since moved steadily to the center, though it has not helped him much.

I could write for three hours and probably make half our readers angry about something. I write a lot on other forums under other names.

I think it makes people frustrated when someone does not clearly identify with either the left or right, since it messes up the whole good guy/bad guy dialogue into which our political discourse is defined by the media.

I am not a left or right thinker, in fact I reject the whole left/right political paradigm. Reality is not neatly divided into left and right views.

I believe in a Creator but I find the Bible ridiculous.

I am pro-life but have no interest in getting religious conservatives elected.

I think wealth should be more evenly distributed but I hate Communism.I think Stalin and Mao were even worse than Hitler.

I think health care should be cheaper and that insurance companies just get in the way. But I don't think the US government has any ability to improve the health care situation since they are grossly inefficient. I think Obamacare has actually made it worse.

The only good thing about Obamacare is that the insurance companies can no longer deny coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.

Getting the IRS involved in healthcare is lunacy on the part of Pelosi and Obama. I think they lost their minds when they did that.

I wish we would bring all our military home to the US and put them on our southern border where they are needed to stop the invasion. Let the rest of the world fight each other, it keeps them busy.

And so on.

ALL i have to say about no-bama is what has he done for you? I know i have sacraficed way more than he ever will for this country

In order to keep the peace you usually avoid the topics of politics and religion.

Unless, of course, you are trying to initiate a philosophical/theological debate in a manner that doesn't break down into a raging shout fest like you usually find on TV.

Very good arguments. Problem is I agree w/most of them.

here is my deal.i am a vet and i am disabled so that means my income is very low.$999.00 per month.i am on medicaid and medicare.i am not allowed to have link(food stamps) because my income is $5 more than the limit. obama care is now charging me $90 per month for the insurance plus $35 per doc visit which i have to go to at least once a month.Now compare this to what the average worker pays. i says its the vets that are getting and the disabled that getting fucked.so i say NO-Bama can go join his clan back in whatever he actually came from...pro constitution-anti politican
