Maybe he's hopped up on Oxycotins or something.

It's okay JLA. No need to be defensive. Just go back to deifying Obama.

And Obama's participation in the strike to kill Bin Ladin was basically saying "Yeah, okay, go ahead."

The CIA and military have been tracking Bin Ladin for that long, and the search under Obama went on pretty much as it did under W. Bush.

Bin Ladin was estimated to be holed up in this mansion where he was killed for four or more years.

Yes.

Obama won the election because he said "there is no blue America, there is no red America, there is only the United States of America". He campaigned as a uniter, "finding the middle", building a common ground.

And then has governed more divisively, race-baiting, class warfare and other partisan rhetoric, than any president ever has.

Obama Embraces Signing Statements After Knocking Bush for Using Them: Candidate Barack Obama criticized President Bush for using ‘signing statements’ to ignore the will of Congress. But Obama’s done the same thing 20 times since taking office, and his latest effort is rankling lawmakers.

Miserable May jobs report suggests U.S. in recession red zone: The current 8.2% unemployment rate is 2.5 percentage points above where Obama said it would be right now if Congress passed his trillion-dollar stimulus plan.

Why are you constantly posting the same "source" (i.e. progressive Conservative blogs) in every thread? Who do you think you're fooling, old man? No matter how many times you post it, it doesn't make the SPIN actually, factually true...

Do people wonder why you never became an actual attorney?

Reuters: the millions of "green jobs" Obama promised have been slow to sprout, disappointing many who had hoped that the $90 billion earmarked for clean-energy efforts in the recession-fighting federal stimulus package would ease unemployment - still above 8 percent.

Says the dipshit who routinely posts MSNBC vitriolic diatribes, and (in OWS topic) undisguised communist blogs.


And by the way Reuters is not a right wing blog.

Reuters: Bleak jobs report spells trouble for Obama re-election

White House Flip-Flops on Use Of Presidential Seal in Obama Campaign: After former Obama press secretary says White House would not be using official seal at 'strictly political events,' President Obama and Vice President Biden begin using it at campaign stops.

Isn't a campaign stop a political event?

Also, isn't Obama the President?

That would be the point. He said he wouldnt do that.

If, as George Orwell once observed, the greatest enemy of any left-wing government is its previous propaganda, then Barack Obama’s most fearsome enemy is a small volume his campaign published in 2008: Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise. I bought it after Obama won the presidency that November, and it makes for very entertaining--and somewhat sad--reading nearly four years later.

Among the many promises Obama makes are the following: “Send Rebate Checks of $1,000 to American Families,” “Staff the Government Based on Talent, Not Political Loyalties,” and “Eliminate North Korea’s Nuclear Weapons Programs.”

Some of the pledges combine hubris with bad policy: “Create Five Million New Green Jobs,” “Create Automatic Workplace Pensions.” Others are just silly: “Create a ‘Craigslist’ for Service.”

No matter who you are, there’s a broken promise in this book for you. Seniors? Obama promised to “Preserve Social Security” and “Put Medicare on Solid Footing.” Greens? Obama said he would “Rally the World to Stop Global Warming.” Chicago residents? Obama pledged to “End the Dangerous Cycle of Youth Violence.”

The scale of Obama’s cult of personality can be measured by the wide scope of his disappointments today.

There is one promise, however, that stands out among the others, and best defines the failure of the Obama presidency: the promise to “Jump-start our economy with a $50 billion stimulus plan that would put money directly in the pockets of families struggling with rising food and mortgage payments.” The actual stimulus, as passed in early 2009, was nearly 18 times as big and did little to help struggling families or the economy itself.

That broken promise stands out more than all the others--more than the promise to cut health care costs by $2,500 per family, more than the promise to keep a residual force in Iraq to ensure stability, more than the laughable assurance that Obama would fight corruption--because it represents a colossal abuse of the public trust and Obama’s fiduciary duty to the nation. It makes a mockery of policy arguments about Keynesian stimulus or the multiplier effect of increased government spending. It is simply obscene.

That was a nice concise overview of the failures and blatant hypocrisy of the Obama administration, and the huge chasm between what was promised and what was delivered.



That pretty much sums it up.


I doubt most Obama supprters read or watch the news, or have any familarity with the facts. They just pull the "D" lever when they vote, out of pure undying ideological loyalty. And for many they are too politically blind to even have ideological loyalty.
They've just been herded by fear through empty DNC propaganda.

Such as Sandra Fluke and other Democrats saying Republicans want to take away their birth control rights.
Such as exploiting of the Trayvon Martin case to say Republicans "want to put y'all back in chains".
And out of tyrannical presidential fiat rather than rule of law issuing an executive order to give 1.2 million (for openers) illegals amnesty, and putting virtually all the rest of their extended illegal family on that path through the anchor of their children's amnesty.

It comes down to Obama and the Democrats buying votes with perks funded by taxpayer dollars, to advance things that a majority of Americans have repeatedly been polled as strongly opposing (Obamacare, Amnesty, state-funded abortion, etc.)

Add to that drone attacks on U.S. citizens.

And legislation to restrict the 2nd amendment right to bear arms.

And attempts to control the news media and restrict freedom of the press.

And undermining border security, furloughing border guards, and thousands of criminal illegal aliens.

Despite Marilyn Tavenner being responsible for the 600-plus million-dollar failure of the healthcare.gov website, she'll probably be "disciplined" with a promotion to a better job.

Like Susan Rice.
Like the key people responsible in the IRS scandal.
Like the Obama staffers responsible for the Benghazi attack, and ongoing cover-up.
Like the ATF and Justice Dept staffers involed in "Fast and Furious" sale of guns to Mexican drug cartels.

What's most infuriating is not that they've done these things, but that they have absolutely no accountability for what they've done. And that Democrats --both in Washington and at the grassroots level-- still support them and make excuses for them!

The look of a liar:
