What hole did you crawl out of? I am glad to see that you can count, but your logic and grammar need work. BTW the "race card" claim is the way racists try to avoid being called one by flipping the script to put the victims of racism on the defensive. Are you able to follow this thought? I also have better things to do than to go back 6 years to see what you idiots had to say about Bush.
75% of the American public say they feel like they are in a recession.
2 out of 3 Americans say the U.S. is on the wrong track with its policies.
He is underwater in his job approval by 10 points, underwater in his economic job approval by 12 points, underwater on his signature legislative accomplishment (Obamacare) by a stunning 14 points and underwater on his foreign policy by an inconceivable 17 points.
Obamacare such a disaster that even though Dems promised Americans would love it just like Social Security and Medicare (i.e. in the 80-90% approval) it languishes with approval a little more than 1 out of 3 Americans.
Most ironically, the UNINSURED disapprove of Obamacare. So corrupt, the Dems got caught fudging the enrollment numbers by adding in dental only plans. lol
Then if all that wasn't bad enough, a key architect gets caught on tape stating that Ocare was intentionally written to fool "the stupid American people." ROFLMAO!
Almost 50 million Americans on food stamps.
He added to a historic 6 year debt load with yet another massive deficit. His administration will end in 2016 leaving Americans almost $20 trillion in debt as deficits will once again rise over $1 trillion/yr.
On the job front, the labor participation rate is at a 38 year low.
7 million Americans have part time work when they actually want full time work.
Real wages declined for a 6th straight year.
Jobs year was so bad, even MSNBC called it a "McRecovery."
Syria stepped over Obama's line in the sand and of course, Obama did nothing, then said it wasn't HIS line, but the worlds line. lol
The "reset" with Russia turned out to be a disaster as Putin invaded Crimea.
Iran is another year closer to attaining nuclear weapons and the lack of a residual force in Iraq has allowed ISIS to fill that gap as they routinely cut off the heads of numerous Americans.
The VA erupted with scandal as vets died waiting for healthcare, something Obama pledged to fix in 2007.
The IRS scandal, the NSA scandal, the Associated Press scandal, the lies about Benghazi continue to haunt the administration.
He made a 5 for 1 swap for a deserter In Eric Bergdahl that was such a disaster that even 2/3's of the military was against it.
After telling the country on dozens of occasions over 6 years he didn't have the authority to issue an EO on immigration, he does so any way, never telling us why/how he suddenly found the authority he lacked for so long.
In a tidal wave election in November, Republicans now hold the largest congressional advantage they have had since 1928.
Republicans now hold BOTH houses in THIRTY different states.
Liberals like Leon Panetta, Tom Harkin, Alan Dershowitz, Jonathan Turley, Mort Zuckerman, Chuck Shumer, all one time key Obama allies, now openly criticizing him.
Sheez...what a disaster Obama has been for the country and his party.
Is there any wonder why libs here want to talk continuously about Fox News? lol.

Despite all his hand wringing and lofty promises in the State of the Union address, Mr. Obama accomplished virtually nothing on gun control. Sure, his admin passed a few new regs and he issued a few executive orders, and even a few of Ed’s executive memorandums (why hasn’t Ed complained about his gun control executive memoranda? sleeping at the job again?), but these changes are mostly cosmetic.
Meanwhile, the guy goes out and plays golf while states authorize concealed carry almost everywhere, gun shows continue to sell without background checks, and 12 year old kids get assault rifles for their birthday. Even worse, you can't drive from the airport in Vegas to the casino without seeing that giant billboard from the Gun Store offering machine guns for shooting. That's still legal?
So, while I’m sure this omission was inadvertent on your part, I’m going to supplement your list with the one area where Mr. Obama really let us down this year and throughout his administration
We used to joke that the amount of golf Obama played was actually a good thing because he couldn't fk anything up in America while on the golf course...
Oh well. lol
Oh well. lol
...CANCELLED, but the headline of the article said the wedding was MOVED. This time, you weren't the liar Jack, US News & World Report was.
The wedding ceremony was supposed to be on the 16th hole, overlooking the ocean. The couple reported that it was moved to a BETTER location, with a BETTER VIEW of the ocean.
Watch that spinning, Jack; you're gonna get dizzy.
And here I thought you ran away from that discussion, ignoring me and my link, when it's now clear you only ignored me and promptly forgot who posted the link.
your post on executive memoranda given that I responded twice - first telling you of the OLC legal justification for the executive memo and then patiently explaining that your conclusion – that Mr. Obama used this vehicle to avoid having to explain the legal justification for the order – was dead wrong.
Seems to me that you got the bright hot spotlight, albeit that it focused on matters that caught you by surprise.
But I will give you your diva minute and I do thank you for the post as I was unaware of the distinction between orders and memoranda until you made the post
You still missed the point here. Just above you chastised me for not bringing up Obama's gun control executive post-it notes when it was clearly itemized in the link I provided that got this ball rolling.
I'm not looking for any lime light but it's gets boring when you not just ignore points I make (in response to you) but then proceed to claim I didn't even respond. It really does impart to you, the personality of a wall.
BTW, at the post-it note level of executive action, Obama does NOT personally explain his justification logic as he does in an Executive Order to which he affixes his signature. EO are published right there on WH.gov. I don't need to ask my legal clerks or interns to go find the justification brief. It wasn't that long ago you were touting to our friend spade, just how great Executive Orders were, since they ALL had the legal justification built right in. Today, your new found affection is now with the the post-it note. Sigh.
I was clearly in error when I said “but you only have one point and it’s wrong.” You have now persuaded me that you “DID make more than one point in that thread” that was wrong.
Is that better? Consider this a full apology.
As to your latest erroneous point about needing to hire a “legal clerk or intern” to locate the legal authority for a presidential memorandum, may I humbly suggest that you instead simply type “Office of Legal Counsel opinion on immigration” into Google and then go “click”?
Finally, I seriously doubt that Mr. Obama "personally explains" his justification logic in an Executive Order. This is done by the attorneys in the office of the White House counsel.
Only one point and it's wrong? What was I thinking? Thank you for pointing out my grievous error
I'd have to know that the Office of Legal Counsel even exists. I'm sure it's on that list I made several months ago but finding it among the several thousand other offices is so much more difficult than simply going to Whitehouse.gov. That's where the President puts stuff he's willing to sign his name to, not hide under other post-it notes.
“I'd have to know that the Office of Legal Counsel even exists.”
Not at all - you could simply type in “Obama legal opinion on immigration” and find it. It is the third hit.
Or you could watch cable TV news show that actually cover the news. I learned about it watching Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. If you spend all your time watching tabloid cable like Fox, which focuses on criticizing the president for everything, instead of reporting the news, you will miss a lot and come away with a very biased view of executive action
You still don't get the subtlety of my dig at Obama's claim to be the most transparent ever.
behind his subsequent failures that you noted is inability or unwillingness (don't know which one) stemming from inaptitude or arrogance (again not sure which one it is..probably combination of both) to bring the House and Senate together..
And how come one of the biggest race baiters, Al Sharpton did not make it to your list? Al and his 81 visits to White House makes you go WTFFFFFFFFF are they talking...

So no one is a bigger race baiter and fraud than this clown!
Also for all of your crying about the President.
I guess you missed this news:
http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2014/12/28/good-year-for-obama/RubJFT8VmXquMRYdVGoUxK/story.html
All this without a lot of the GOP scum help on anything. LOL
Knowing that Presidents can only sign bills passed by US Congress, what has US Congress done since 2010 to improve the conditions of Americans?
Can you name 1?
Ship you to Australia..
They got no clue what's coming their way... Poor Aussies.
No wonder you have nothing to answer my question except a personal attack! What an asshole.
Middle class redneck white neighborhood. Where real Americans live. Can anything other than a gun be the weapon?
Am I glad I am on my way to Melbourne, Australia. Enough of this country a.k.a shooting gallery of the developed world. How on earth someone can stand up there and defend all this as normal compared to other countries of the world.
Waiting for more news that he cooked and ate her as well!
what can a President do?
"My #1 priority is to make Obama a one term President". .
"I don't know if he was born here but I will take him at his word" .
"We will block everything from now on"
Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
House Majority whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) spoke at a White Supremacists conference which was formed by a KKK! So now Republicans not only have racists in power but Nazis and KKK as well.
"I am not saying all racists are Republicans but if you are a racist you are probably a Republican".
Bill Maher.
Now you can stuff all your lengthy BS in to the nearest toilet and flush it.
Next Jack is going to tell us that Obama fucked his dog. Gives a whole new meaning to "bow chicka bow wow".
I am glad you are now showing your true colors! All BS and no basis! Get to the nearest toilet and flush your posts.
Who would have thought that this thread (an maybe TER) would be dominated by right wing bigots. Just a reminder that all of us who are in this life and who post on these boards are serial law breakers by P4P. So typical of Republicans and other right wingers. Preach family values, religion and morality in public while spending thousands of dollars to buy sex from perfect strangers. Jack, you and your ilk have selective memories and you choose to forget the obstructionist vows of McConnell and Boehner to prevent Obama from succeeding as president. Clearly a racially based double standard. I wasn't a member then, but I wonder whether you guys did a similar analysis as Bush was ending his terms as president -- leaving the economy in the tank, involved in pointless wars that left thousands of Americans dead or injured for life.
Your score-keeping abilities need some honing.
So far in this thread there have been 18 posts by Lefties and only 7 by Righties (and 2 of those 7 were off-topic), yet somehow we dominated the conversation? LOL. I guess a thank you is due you for your recognition of our eloquence (or maybe it’s due to the Lefties being blowhards). I do understand your frustration in being unable to compete in this viciously dominated thread without heading straight to the race card.
You must not be all that curious about GWB’s treatment here since it’s all still available for your review.
What hole did you crawl out of? I am glad to see that you can count, but your logic and grammar need work. BTW the "race card" claim is the way racists try to avoid being called one by flipping the script to put the victims of racism on the defensive. Are you able to follow this thought?

The two wars that cost the taxpayers $4 trillion and killed 8,000 troops does not fall under the "law of limitation" just like the Vietnam war.
It can be debated for the next two decades. How about his unpaid tax cuts that cost taxpayers $3.8 trillion over 10 years?
Really? The best rebuttal that you can muster is a discussion of "dangling prepositions"? What about the substance of my original post? The "proposition" that the so-called "race card" like "political correctness" are clever ploys used by bigots like you to deflect attention from your intolerance. BTW, I am not claiming to be a victim, because, like you, if I am posting on TER, I can afford to pay large sums of money to gorgeous women (of all races and ethnicities) to engage in various sexual acts. Money and TER are great equalizers. Ponder that thought as you crawl back into your hole to reminisce about the good old days when your type ran the country.
Everything important in your OP was already addressed in my first response. This is going to be really difficult for you, if you can’t remember what you wrote just a few hours ago. There IS a written record of it directly above, but you knew that. You DID declare yourself a victim of racism not poverty. What’s strange is that after I explained it all, you continue to play the race card.
I’m disappointed you didn't understand the humor regarding dangling prepositions but you know what they say about explaining humor, so you’re on your own buddy
At least you got one thing right. I see no humor in defining and discriminating against people based on race, ethnicity, religion or sexual preference.
Have you ever attempted the simultaneous act of walking and chewing gum? Or held more than one thought at the same time? It must get confusing for you when you try.
Props to you though for a valiant "near attempt" at becoming that victim after all.
The great thing about these posts is that they are anonymous. Neither you nor I know who we are communicating with, which is probably a good thing. So you shouldn't make any assumptions. I am the farthest thing from a victim that you would ever meet. Trust me on that.I see that you have not posted a review in almost a year. What is the problem? No money? The equipment doesn't function and you spend your pathetic time alone posting on TER.
In review, I actually took your advice throughout all of our exchanges. Every one of my posts was assumption free. They were in direct response to you or a direct reflection to things you said although it’s obvious that some of what I posted sailed far over your head. Your posts, on the other hand, were packed with unfounded and all incorrect assumptions.
I guess your last post completely blows your whole pretense that you’re not one of those people who attack others based on unfounded racism, low economic standing or poor medical condition. Since you have proven yourself to be one that attacks people on these aforementioned conditions there's little reason to believe, given other circumstances, that you would not continue the behavior based on ethnicity, religion or sexual preference.
You are in fact someone that hides behind their money because you appear to have very little else. I suggest you go out now and buy yourself one of those gorgeous and expensive women to engage in various sexual acts. I’m guessing your self-esteem could use a little pick-me-up right about now
