        • whatthe46 April 23rd, 2015 at 10:01 am

          i’m sure your mother thinks you’re handsome, even with your 5 strains of hair, and 4 teeth.

          • Larry Schmitt April 23rd, 2015 at 10:32 am

            Where did he come up with two extra teeth?

            you don’t even want a glimpse of the creep – think of him looking the way your mouth smells when the dentist is drilling away – that tooth decay.

          During the 2007-2008 primaries when it was mainly Hillary and Obama, Stephanie Miller suggested a cartoon series about the Democratic primaries called, “The Adventures of Pantsuit and Jug Ears”.

      Climate change? Isn’t that what normally happens down here on planet earth? Why does the left continually get away with their faux concern about the environment?
      Like Obama, all the rich “climate change” freaks of the left continue to fly around in their private planes, drive fuel guzzling SUV’s, and live in huge energy wasting palatial homes. It’s time for all of them to just SHUT THE HELL UP!

      • Kim Serrahn April 23rd, 2015 at 10:22 am

        Honey,the plane belongs to the US government and all those “gas guzzling SUV’s too. I’m a lefty and I might be more concerned with climate change then a lot of others that I know, (rightys). At least we on the left aren’t afraid to say it.

      • arc99 April 23rd, 2015 at 10:43 am

        Actually it was long past time for you to SHUT THE HELL UP but we still tolerate your incoherent garbage.

          see, there ya go again – recognizing that tooth decay is some kind of real thing rather than a stringy green thing dangling from a nostril. He is an evil minded creep though.

        Another con who can’t tell the difference between climate and weather.

        Please, explain how you know ANYBODY’S concern is “faux.” Did they tell you? Write you a letter? E-mail?

        Or is this simply another example of your usual misrepresentations and baseless accusations?

      • Gina April 23rd, 2015 at 3:49 pm

        What normally happens is weather to change. Climate change is all of the unprecedented disasters–like storm Sandy, the drought in California– now getting common. Got it?

    This kind of disrespect and out right rudeness towards a sitting President has never happened before in our history> Besides the individuals i blame the teabaggers, their racism, rudeness and threats towards the President and his family have made these types of things okay in the minds of the lowest common denominators in our society. Shame on them and us fir not stopping this.

    • Kevin Murphy April 23rd, 2015 at 11:11 pm

      I also blame the right wing nuts that were inflamed by the FOX Propaganda Network that spews hate, fear & lies 24/7 along w/ the Koch Brothers that funded the “grassroots” teabag groups.

      Then these every was fed lies and they were too lazy or blinded by racism to actually look up the truth. These same folks were silent when Bush & Co. led this country into a 2 wars, a tax giveaway that mainly benefited the rich, and a Medicare drug plan that benefited Big Pharma that was all put on a credit card that President Obama had the responsibility of paying.

    • Diane Love Nanite April 25th, 2015 at 3:58 pm

      Never happened because we never had a frigin dictator before !

      • OldLefty April 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm

        That’s funny.
        That’s EXACTLY what the left said about Bush and Reagan.

            Yep.

Now THIS President is doing everything right and you ass holes can keep right on whining cuz that’s what you do best.

      If you lived in Russia, and you were in the same political party as Vlad Putin, you would be able to silence political opposition.

    • shocktreatment April 25th, 2015 at 6:25 pm

      Just can’t stand it, can you?

      The usual thing was to start a war to PROP UP a failing economy. The conservatards started two, aaaaand:

      2007-2008 saw a record amount of bank failures, climaxed of course, by the “too big to fail” institutions needing government assistance, to, you know, avoid failing…

      The U.S.lost like 2.6 million jobs between December 2007 and Dec, 2008. Those job losses accelerated like hell over the year. An average of 216,000 jobs lost per month over the year but an incredible 510,000 lost per month in the last three months, for a total loss of over 1.5 million jobs in the fourth quarter of 2008.

      Then came President Obama, and count ’em, genius, 61, sixty-one! straight months of private sector job growth… Oh yeah, stock market DOUBLING during President Obama’s tenure,

      Oh yeah, Osama Bin Laden be dead, too.

      Is your memory that shoddy, that you don’t get it? Maybe you are just one of those ‘lie, deny, blame some other guy’ types?

      Maybe just too stupid and bitter to admit you conservatards have botched every single thing you’ve put your hands to.

The PRESIDENT is only loathed due to his race nothing more or less. America to which you are proud of is so hated by the rest of the world. YOur President has done a good job cleaning up the mess from his war mongering predecessors. I am so glad I don’t live your hateful country. You are a poor example of how others countries see America, a self petuated Narcissists, haters, hypocrits and moreso an oppresser of it’s own people then you dictate in other countries how they should live when you deprive and oppress your own people.

          I have to agree with All4Liberty (that handle is so not fitting), He is loathed by every one of the leaders of our alliances (terrible phrasing by the way). That is of course if you consider Israel our only ally. And he is loathed by them because he is forcing them in to a position where they are going to have to behave responsibly and ethically or suffer the consequences. We do not owe blind allegiance to any other country or leader, or religion, and he has the balls to stand up to them. Those who show more allegiance to a foreign power than to our own President are traitors, plain and simple. So, All4rLiberty, you are a traitor and your opinions are worthless because of that.

          Admired leader? I dont admire him. and who admires him>? lots of countries despise him.. from what i have seen, i guess MSNBC and these blog magazines say different.

          and the world knows better? do they now? we have over 17 trillion dollars in debt, and all he did was run uip the piggy bank and make out executive orders and its alright? he has done nothing to balance our budget, nothing about fixing a broken welfare system. and… the b est part “drum roll please” he hasnt fixed the BROKEN and i mean broken healthcare system put into act because of a stupid congress not reading it all, it is still having problems, and its making people that have insurance poorer.. I know from personal experience my Insurance sky rocketed and im out even more money that i work hard for. granted, i dont have a huge paycheck, but how do they expect working americans to live?

          some of us eventually want out of apartments ect. so we can be homeowners and start our families. and yet, we have to put that off because of government healthcare, and high end taxes. Its lame, and that comes from a lame congress and a not so great president. I am sorry, it is what it is, this president and his people have did a terrible job, and if anyone praises him its because they are a third world country and do not understand anything but thirdworld . so there you have it… sorry b ut i strongly disagree.

Realize the number one reason we have the problems in this country today is because we have leadership that has divided the country and never united us and that is unfortunate since we should be the “United” States of America. The real unemployment is closer to 18%, we have doubled the number of people on social assistance, the national debt is nearly doubled in the past 6 years, we are no longer THE world leader as we once were. What a shame.

      Because loving the flag is so much more important than caring about the people.

      our foundation of a Judeo-Christian country
      The founding fathers made it clear that the United States was not in any way founded on Christianity. If you want a theocracy, move to the Vatican.

      because we have leadership that has divided the country and never united
      us

      With your comments about religion, it’s clear you have no interest in uniting people, unless they look, think, behave, and worship exactly as you do.

      Marxism and communism may or may not be “what our country stands for”, but fascism definitely isn’t either. And your desire to crush individualism under a single belief system is definitely fascist.

Go crawl back under your rock.

    • Carla Akins April 26th, 2015 at 4:54 am

      Wow, seek help Mr Fluke. ACA has excellent coverage for your condition. It is a thin line between simple bigotry and severe religious fundamentalism, exhibited through rigid adherence and intolerance towards different religious views, correlated quite highly with religious ethnocentrism, as well as with —to lesser degrees — hostility toward homosexuals and prejudice against racial-ethnic minorities that would qualify as a mental illness. There is also debate as to who should make this call – do your beliefs interfere with your ability to hold a job, maintain a relationship, socialize with other? if so – seek help.

      You should also be aware there is an actual physical concern. Those that hold extreme severe religious fundamentalist views literally have smaller brains, their brains are shrinking. I’m not kidding, it’s a serious concern. Currently, these people are being treated with a mixture of mental exercises and medication as they tend to turn violent as the hippocampus shrinks in the brain. You may want to remember this as you are thumping your bible at your next tent revival or creating a new disqus account because your hateful behavior has gotten your previous one banned.

      Thou dost project too much, Methinks.
      Funny how Obama represents “Judeo-Christian” AND American values more than his critics do.

      From Eisenhower onward, WE supported radical Islam as a hedge against secular socialism in the Middle East;

      ~ Eisenhower overthrew the Democratically elected Mossadegh, who was enamored with American democracy, at the behest of Anglo-American oil, (Now known as BP).

      ~ Eisenhower courted “The Honorable Saeed Ramahdan, Delegate of the Muslim Brothers.” Saeed Ramadan, was the son-in-law of the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder and at the time widely described as the group’s “foreign minister.” (He was also the father of the controversial Swiss scholar of Islam, Tariq Ramadan.)

      We supported the Muslim Brotherhood against the secular Nasser who wanted to nationalize the Suez Canal.

      ~ We supported the radicals in Pakistan over secular democracy in India.

      ~ Reagan armed both Saddam and the Iranians, THEN the same people whine about how they are both armed.

      ~ Reagan was the feckless founder of al Qaeda, teaching them how to bring down a super power, while Osama bin Ladin cited Reagan as an example of American weakness (remember Beirut?)

      Remember Pakistani President Benazir Bhutto, who, worried that the mujaheddin had grown too strong, told President George H. W. Bush, “You are
      creating a jihadi Frankenstein.”?? Betcha don’t.

      ~ How about Bush’s pals; Shafiq bin Ladin, Salem bin Ladin, James Bath
      and Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz, Sami Al-Arian, ( under investigation by the FBI for his associations with Islamic Jihad), Abdullah Shallah, the No. 2 leader in Islamic Jihad, and Hassan Turabi the powerful Islamic ruler of Sudan who had welcomed Osama bin Laden and helped nurture al-Qaida in the early 1990s.

      “Anti-American”???
      Your statement alone is “anti-American. Guess what….. YOU don’t get to decide what is pro or anti- American for your fellow citizens.

      “communist and Marxist”???

      Remember YOU guys called Eisenhower and JFK communists, and I doubt you would know Karl Marx from Groucho Marx.

      [As for; “Realize the number one reason we have the problems in this country today is because we have leadership that has divided the country and never united us and that is unfortunate since we should be the “United” States of America.”]

      They say the same for EVERY president, (you just want to use different measurements based on who is in the White House.), and the record for people on assistance, especially food stamps was set by Bush, who was the “food stamp president” BEFORE crash when the economy contracted 8.9% in Q4 ’08, 6.7% in Q1 ’09.
      While; ‘Bush On Jobs: The Worst Track Record On Record
      WSJ January 9, 2009, 12:04 PM’

      Reagan and Bush both TRIPLED the deficit, while in FY 2009 federal deficit was running at a rate of $1.2 trillion on the day Obama took office in the midst of the financial crisis.
      The debt is now growing less rapidly than during Obama’s first years, which saw a string of trillion-dollar-plus annual deficits. CBO projects this year’s deficit will be $506 billion, so the deficit has fallen by more than half since he took office.
      https://www.cbo.gov/publication/45653

      And yet you REFUSE to raise revenue from those who both caused and benefit the from the crash of 2008.

      Also, while I agree that some people might dislike him due to the color of his skin, but is that any different than why he was elected? In 2008 and 2012 record numbers of African American voters turned out for the polls, and in both elections, over 90% of them voted for Obama. I’m sure that had nothing to do with the color of his skin…

      I don’t like President Obama because I disagree with most of his domestic policies, as well as his foreign policy. He aided in the rise of ISIS by leaving Iraq too soon, allowing them to take power. He’s brokering a deal with Iran that is not even close to satisfactory for nuclear disarmament. His healthcare reform bill is garbage and should be repealed by the next president as soon as they take office, and his stance on gun control is not where I would like it to be, as I don’t like anyone telling me I can’t own any kind of gun I damn well please.

        2011, the Associated Press reported that negotiations for a SOFA were stymied after the Iraqi government refused to grant American troops legal immunity.

        CBO: Obamacare To Save $142 Billion Over 10 Years

        Thanks To Obamacare,
        Hospitals Saved More Than $7 Billion Last Year

        MARCH 23, 2015 AT 3:02 PM

        According to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), hospitals saved at least $7.4 billion last year, thanks in large part to reforms under Obamacare. The savings reflect a reduction in the so-called “uncompensated care” that hospitals provide to uninsured Americans, and are even greater than HHS officials predicted they would be at the beginning of this year.

        Record low numbers of uninsured.

        Al Gore got 91% of the black vote.

        John Kerry got 88% of the black vote.

        I draw no conclusions about Mr. Gore, but I am certain that John Kerry is not black. You are right it has nothing to do with skin color.

        It has everything to do with posts like yours filled with half-truths and distortions you present as fact.

        We left Iraq too soon? Aside from the fact that we should never have been there in the first place, exactly how many hundreds of billions of dollars should we have spent propping up President Bush’s monumental catastrophe while at the same time we tell people here at home that unemployment benefits and health insurance are too expensive?

        In the meantime, please educate yourself about support of the Democratic part in the black community. Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about with claims about supporting the President only because of race.

        http://www.factcheck.org/2008/04/blacks-and-the-democratic-party/

        The following year Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act. No Republican presidential candidate has gotten more than 15 percent of the black vote since.

        • Beverly Golato April 26th, 2015 at 2:44 pm

          Johnson also created the war on poverty, want to know why? To get the blacks to vote for the Democrats. Know what he said after he signed it into law? Now every NI++++ will vote for the Democrats for the next 200 years. Johnson hated black people and was a bigot. Everything he did was just to get their votes. How’s that war on poverty working for all those black people now? More people on food stamps, more government housing, the traditional marriage is down the tubes. This is exactly what he wanted, he knew if he could make you dependent you would keep voting for the Democrats to keep getting the government money. Not one program has been created as a way to lift black people out of poverty just how to keep them in it.

            First of all, the quote attributed to LBJ is third hand hearsay. Likely another product of the right wing bullsh*t machine.

            But even if the quote is 100% true, so what. LBJ did the right thing as President of the United States by supporting and signing into law the Civll Rights Act.

            I work. I pay taxes. I own my home. I am 62 years old and welcome the changes in our society which occurred thanks to the legislation LBJ signed into law. Your idiotic pronouncements about me wanting government money is the kind of ignorant garbage that keeps the black vote for the Democratic party at 90%+.

            I know lots of black people, not counting my parents who are now deceased. We are voting, thinking, taxpaying Americans who see a Republican party filled with ignorance like yours, and we want no part of it.

            btw, I was responding to David Butler’s ridiculous post claiming that the support in the black community for President Obama was somehow unprecedented when the fact is that blacks have supported the Democratic party by overwhelming margins for almost a half century.

            time and time again, Obama-haters demonstrate you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

            both you and Mr. Butler fit the bill.

          • OldLefty April 26th, 2015 at 3:36 pm

            EVERYBODY knows that, meanwhile, that quote has never been confirmed.

            But who cares what he said??

            He reduced poverty.

            ~ “How’s that war on poverty working for all those black people….”

            Not bad. Would have been better if the GOP did not constantly make cuts.
            Poverty among blacks was 55 percent in 1959 and 41 percent in 1966. By 2009, the rate had fallen to 25.9 percent. For black single moms without a father present, the poverty rate fell from 70.6 percent in 1959 and 65.3 in 1966 to 39.8 percent in 2009.

            Food Stamps????
            Bush set the record BEFORE the crash of 2008.

            Why do Republicans keep creating need for government assistance?
            Because business wants to pay so little and pass the cost onto the government.

            Did you know that full time bank tellers and home health workers are among those who require help???

            Don’t be such a sucker.

      • Stan H April 26th, 2015 at 3:06 pm

        I’m sure that some Blacks (and Whites) voted for Pres. Obama solely because he was Black. I’m fairly certain that no one will ever be able to determine how many or how few. I’d wager that the majority of them voted for the (double) Ivy League degrees, Harvard Law degree, being a former State and U.S. Senator, President of the Harvard Law Review, Constitutional Law Instructor, Community Organizer, loving father and family man. Practically every major economic indicator is light-years beyond where Dubya left us: http://www.imagebam.com/image/afb9b4363906672

        As to Iran, the saying goes, “in a successful negotiation, neither side is fully satisfied”. Iran is agreeing to scale back their nuclear program and agree to inspections. We got that concession and avoided military intervention (for now). What you and most of the neocons fail to consider is that we can ALWAYS impose more sanctions or use military force. The smart thing to do is to use them as last resorts.

        The ACA has met or exceeded almost every goal since the lamentable rollout. Health care spending is falling precipitately, the rate of premium increases is falling, and nearly 20 million people are newly insured. As for gun control, the U.S. has more gun deaths than the next 10 industrialized countries combined. SOMETHING has to be done, whether you like it or not.

          “I’m sure that some Blacks (and Whites) voted for Pres. Obama solely because he was Black”.
          Not me..I voted for him the first time because he voted against the Iraq invasion and predicted, with uncanny accurately what would happen if we did. http://usliberals.about.com/od/extraordinaryspeeches/a/Obama2002War.htm

          We shouldn’t even be negotiating with Iran in the first place. What is the purpose of that? They are nothing but Muslim terrorists and everyone knows it, even Obama knows it.

          You are also wrong about the healthcare spending, premium increases and number of insured people.

          Do you think the gangsters and thugs are going to give up their guns and quit getting new guns? LOL!

    I’m not racist in the least and have references to prove it along with black friends, blacker than Obama, that can’t stand him and wouldn’t go to greet him if he was passing out gold bars!!! Our economy was ruined by c the signing of NAFTA and as far as ruining the world economy what are you referring to???!!! The intelligence meetings held prior to our war with Saddam in Iraq have been written about by others in attendance and even those that weren’t particularly fans of Bush at the time say each action is rated with a percentage and the percentages at the meetings where Bush given were high in the possession of WMD’s. Much higher than the percentage given to Obama on the location of Osama Bin Laden that he acted on when raiding the compound and killing him. Read some biographies from all involved, you might learn some facts!!!

    • Daniel D Siders April 26th, 2015 at 11:24 am

      lets take a different look at this. you are the head of your department, and the CEO of a company is visiting you department. you hate his guts, the reason does not matter. do you still show up, greet him, show him around, and smile (even if it is a fake smile) till he is done with his visit. of course you do. he is your boss, he is your bosses boss for that matter. you want to maintain a good rapport with him. so, by NOT showing up, it is telling the President that he is not good enough for the Governor. i can justify if there was a crisis in progress that detained him, aside from that, there is no justifiable reason to be this crass. more so, if you REALLY disagree with the boss, that is the PERFECT time to talk with him, share your views, in a professional manor. the boss might not like your ideas, but, by being respectful and professional, you look like the best person in the job. alas, our Governor is a lying worthless, plead 5th amendment 75 times, stolen millions from government contracts, Governor. with that said, i still have to pay my respects to the man, and call him Governor, even if i don’t like it.

      • Beverly Golato April 26th, 2015 at 2:35 pm

        The Governor has every right to do what he did. Keep in mind, and this is what is wrong with your argument, Obama is not his boss or our boss he is an elected official who sucks at his job and has disrespected Americans every chance he gets so stuff you indignation. Your whole argument is based on the fact that you don’t like the Governor and that is the whole reason for your post. The last part of you post gave it away.

They have been found. I also have black friends who think Obama is a jerk and not black enough for them. The stock market means nothing it’s the economy. No there is no job growth when compared to the thousands out of work. Unemployment is low because people who no longer collect are not counted even though they are not working. We are not secure in our country, go back before 9-11 and show me when we had this many attacks on our own soil. When you bend over for the enemy and then open up your country to them this is what happens. I am sure the victims of the Boston marathon would love to hear how secure they feel now. We have no go zone all over the country where the terrorist practice every day and no one does anything? Why because Obama is soft on the Muslims and despises Americans. I am not a racist I just don’t like the fraud living in our white house, notice I said ours, we allow him to live there rent free as long as he does the job he was elected to do and so far he hasn’t.

      If you actually believe what you’ve written, it’s sad. A little timeline for you of what Dubya actually knew before the invasion (and what he DIDN’T share with Congress and the Public).

      November, 1999. Chalabi‑connected Iraqi defector “Curveball”—a convicted sex offender and low‑level engineer who became the sole source for much of the case that Saddam had WMD, particularly mobile weapons labs—enters Munich
      seeking a German visa. German intel officers describe his information as “highly suspect”. US agents never debrief Curveball or perform background check. Nonetheless, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and CIA passed raw intel on to senior policymakers. [Date the public knew: 11/20/05]4/10/01

      4/10/01‑ Lone CIA analyst known only as “Joe” tells top Bush brass that aluminum tubes bought by Iraq can only be for nuclear centrifuges. [Date
      the public knew: 8/10/03]

      8/17/01 Memo to CIA from Energy Department experts eviscerates “Joe’s” theory that aluminum tubes purchased by Iraq are for nuclear centrifuges. Memo given to National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, who later claims tubes are clear evidence of Iraqi nuke program. [Date the public knew: 5/1/04]

      Sep. 2001 – Curveball granted German asylum, ceases cooperating. British spy
      agency MI6 has told CIA that “elements of [his] behavior strike us as typical
      of…FABRICATORS.” [Date the public knew: 11/20/05]

      2/26/02 ‑ Former Ambassador Joseph Wilson sent to Niger to check out claims Iraq buying uranium‑rich yellowcake. [Date the public knew: 7/6/03]

      March 2002 ‑As The New Yorker later reports: “Chalabi’s defector reports were now flowing from the Pentagon directly to the Vice President’s office, and then on to the President, with little prior evaluation by intelligence professionals.”
      [Date the public knew: 10/27/03]

      3/5/02 Joe Wilson tells CIA there’s NO indication that Iraq is buying yellowcake. [Date the public knew: 7/6/03]

      3/15/02 British intel reports that there’s only “sporadic and patchy” evidence of Iraqi WMD. “There is no intelligence on any [biological weapons] production facilities.”[Date the public knew: 9/18/04]

      3/22/02 ‑ Downing Street memo: “US scrambling to establish a link between Iraq and Al Qaida is so far frankly unconvincing…We are still left with a problem of bringing public opinion to accept the imminence of a threat from Iraq…Regime change does not stack up. It sounds like a grudge between Bush and
      Saddam.” [Date the public knew: 9/18/04]

      3/25/02 ‑ Downing Street memo: “There has been no credible evidence to link Iraq with Al Qaida…In the documents so far presented it has been hard to glean whether the threat from Iraq is so significantly different from that of Iran or North Korea as to justify action.” [Date the public knew: 9/18/04]

      May 2002 ‑ Primary corroborator of Curveball’s claims that Iraq has mobile weapons labs is judged a LIAR and Chalabi plant by DIA. A fabricator warning is posted in US intelligence databases. [Date the public knew: 3/28/04]

      Summer 2002 ‑ FRENCH debunk yellowcake theory: “We told the Americans, ‘Bullshit. It doesn’t make any sense,'” says French official. [Date the public knew: 12/11/05]

      June 2002 ‑ To a deputy raising doubts about Iraq war, Rice says: “Save your breath. The president has already made up his mind.”[Date the public knew: 1/7/04]

      7/23/02 ‑ Downing Street memo written by foreign secretary after his visit with
      CIA’s Tenet and other US officials: “There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable …The intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy…The most likely timing in US minds for military action to begin was January, with the timeline beginning 30 days before the US

      Karen Fadely so show me all the books in the bookstore supporting the Iraq invasion. That was not a war, it was an invasion just like the Mongols into Russia. There are no books in the book stores praising the invasion because even the most Hannidazed follower of HeadRush Limbaugh the druggy can not write one with any publisher willing to pay for it. A vanity press might, if the author pays enough out front. Not black enough for you, who do you think cares?

    If you disagree with Obama because of his political perspective then that’s fine but let’s get real. The comments I read speak as if this man knocked the United states into the dark ages. Those that were well off are still doing pretty damn good. Did blacks come out to vote in record numbers? Absolutely… because out of the tenure of the United states and all that has happened to blacks within that country damnit we deserve the opportunity to have 1 black president. We had presidents that owned slaves that were caught and tangled in corruption and yet this man seems to be the evil 1? #smh

    • Beverly Golato April 26th, 2015 at 2:18 pm

      Now you have a president whose ancestors sold the Africans into slavery. We are way beyond the dark ages and it will take a long, long time to come back. Yes he sent jobs overseas, where do you think GM makes their cars? Regulations, Health Insurance and corporate tax rate is what is driving jobs overseas. We all wanted a black person to become president just not this one. He is not really black to begin with and his heritage, if what he tells us is true, is mostly white and Arabic with about 1/8th African. No we are not well off and doing pretty damn good the middle class which pays most of the taxes is pretty much non-existent now. We have more people on food stamps, and other welfare programs then since the great depression. With the middle class disappearing and jobs continue to go overseas there will be no one to pay taxes so government assistance will no longer exist either. Then what do we do? Elect another Democrat? I think not.

      • Stan H April 26th, 2015 at 2:45 pm

        Beverly, it sounds like you’ve drank ALL of the Kook-Aid! This President
        saved the banking industry, the auto industry and tens of thousands of auto‑industry related jobs. Your buddies in the GOP are the anti‑middle class group. Surely you remember the 2011 Budget showdown where
        the GOP threatened a budget shutdown because the President (in conjunction with his middle‑class tax cut) wanted to raise taxes on “the 1%” a
        whopping 3%?

        According to the Cato Institute, the average taxpayer annually has $870 of their taxes go to corporate subsidies (which the GOP has fought tooth and nail to protect) and at the same time, the average taxpayer has $36 of their taxes go annually to food stamps. Guess which one the GOP wants to cut?

        The economy is BETTER in every major economic category under Pres. Obama!

            Because of the 80/20 Obamacare rule, I have received almost 1K in refunds from United health Care ,and all the blacks insured with them got the same 80/20 refund, Now dispute that fact. President Obama overturned the Mexico City Rule which benefits more black than white women, dispute that skewed fact.

          • Stan H April 26th, 2015 at 6:48 pm

            Almost everyone insured under UHC in your state received a refund because the insurer spent too little on patient care. WHY do you think a refund is a bad thing? Lay off the Kook-Aid.

            The “Mexico City Rule” has nothing to do with black/white, it was a “gag” rule that prevented providing funding for family planning services to clinics or groups that
            offered abortion-related services overseas in any country, even if funding for those
            activities came from non-government sources.

          • jasperjava April 26th, 2015 at 7:34 pm

          Anything with that Obama symbol is false from jump street. The very first item, the Unemployment rate is as false as that crappy grin of his. The actual unemployment rate is 11.5% and has been the whole of his tenure. They have conveniently removed the number of people who could not find work and quit looking. His is the only administration in history that has done that. They have to live off of a lie or they can’t even eat breakfast.
          Also, the last one, consumer confidence. Where did he get those numbers, from the illegal aliens jumping the border? Give me a break, quit pissing on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

        Beverly Golato, presidents do not move jobs, corporations do. Regulations come from accidents and deaths, not presidents. Race is a social construct and you are mixing that with ethnicity into something only Sarah Palin could understand. St. Reagan started the end of the middle class, no country on Earth can lose it’s middle class in 6 years. Our troops are on food stamps, you might want to google when that started, and under what president. Name one company who moved it’s jobs overseas during President Obama’s tenure and show us all how he did that please. I’m on facebook so your answer will show up there for all my friends to see.

      Too bad, your buddy Hussein is a liar and has been for years. Judging from his past record I don’t see him break into being truthful any time soon. He’s a liar, that’s what he does, that’s what he’ll always do no matter if he is half white.

  36. C.killai April 26th, 2015 at 1:45 pm

    Ms. Karen Fadely stated that Bush lied about WMD”s He did not. In fact WMD’s were found. This fact was acknowledged by N.Y.times about 2 months ago. Go back and do some research. Even the US army did not publicize much about the WMD’s. The ISIS also found the nerve gas in containers in their earlier advance into Iraq. The U.S intelligence and what Bush stated about the WMD’s is absolutely correct.About 2 yrs. ago Uranium cakes from Iraq were sold to Canada.

    • Stan H April 26th, 2015 at 2:39 pm

      Are you kidding me? A few degraded, useless chemical warheads from nearly 2 decades before were found in Iraq years after the invasion! Even Bush’s own CIA

      The “Uranium cakes” you refer to were actually yellowcake uranium, which is NOT weaponized uranium, NOT enriched uranium, and NOT a WMD. What it is is a commodity used in nuclear power generation and it is produced in many places all over the world. And while it went to Canada, it was a U.S. operation all along. And it was seven years ago. Not two. Now apologize to the people for being such a dumbass.

          Your reference is a website that provides no date of the quote. No mention of where the quote was made. It references no specific article, novel, story or speech given by Mark Twain.

          It is the classic, “I saw it on the internet, so it must be true” misinformation.

          All your links prove is that there are other people in the world who believe the same misinformation as you do.

          • Alex Parsons April 26th, 2015 at 7:23 pm

            that is one of thirty some odd websites I found & posted 3 here can you prove he didn’t say it? In reality who cares who said it just cause your all butt hurt over it proves my point. people who get all defensive like you typically know deep down they have indeed been wrong.

          • jasperjava April 26th, 2015 at 7:27 pm

            You’re pretty gullible if you think a quote is genuine just because it’s on 30 websites.

            I don’t have a problem with the quote: it does sound like something Mark Twain would say, as opposed to a lot of the made-up quotes that Right-wingers mis-attribute to the Founding Fathers in order to shore up their extreme positions.

            But Arc99 is right: unless you can come up with the original source of the quote, you should take it with a grain of salt.

          • Alex Parsons April 26th, 2015 at 7:45 pm

            so your telling me that if you did a web search and a multitude of sites came with similar info you would have to dismiss that info because you looked it up on the internet? and found multiple sources? the only dependable source of information is in publications? you can source multiple founding father quotes that get double credit and what about my position is extreme? or right wing for that matter

          • jasperjava April 26th, 2015 at 7:59 pm

            You don’t understand (naturally).
            If there is a quote from the Founding Fathers, then that must have been written or published sometime during the end of the eighteenth century. If the first evidence of that quote appears, say, in a book published in the 1880’s, or the 1920’s, or some dubious conservative website in the 2010’s, then that quote is highly suspect.

            Serious historians understand this. That’s why you have to check your sources.

            Once Frank Gaffney produced a “quote” supposedly from Lincoln, that Lincoln did NOT say, and would NEVER have said: something to the effect that any congressman who was against the war should be hanged. The quote was entirely spurious, but it doesn’t stop right-wingers from using it.

            There are dozens of such quotes attributed to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc. All lies.

            You did the right thing by saying that the quote is “attributed” to Samuel Clemens. He may very well have said it. But if it’s not recorded in an original source, saying that it is “attributed” to an author is correct, but one can’t state for a fact that he said it.

          • Alex Parsons April 26th, 2015 at 8:02 pm

            who cares who said its true and you guys continue to prove my point

          • jasperjava April 26th, 2015 at 8:20 pm

            What is your point? That facts don’t matter?

            “Who cares who said its true”? Historians care. Serious people care.

            Reminds me of a clever phrase that goes around conservative circles:
            “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.”

            It’s often attributed to Thomas Jefferson. The only problem is, Jefferson never said it.

            From Monticello’s official website:
            http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/government-big-enough-give-you-everything-you-wantquotation

            Why does it matter? Because if you think that a giant like Jefferson said it, it gives a false imprimatur of authority to the quote, as opposed to if it comes from some nameless schmuck from the 1950’s.

            And yet the quote itself is not bad: it has an intrinsic truth to it. But how you FEEL about the quote changes a lot if you think it came from Jefferson’s pen or lips.

            maintained by an ignorant shmuck liiving in his underwear in his
            mother’s basement?

            Are you seriously arguing that all opinions are equal, that made-up facts are the same (or better???) than actual facts?

            1st AMENDMENT FREEDOM OF SPEECH

            • The Patriot Act broadly expands the official definition of

            terrorism, so that many domestic groups that engage in

            nonviolent civil disobedience could very well find themselves

            labeled as terrorists.

            • The Government may now prosecute librarians or keepers

            of any other records if they reveal that the government

            requested information on their clients or members in the

            course of an investigation. It has become a crime for these

            individuals to try to safeguard your privacy or to tell you

            that you are under investigation.

          • arc99 April 26th, 2015 at 8:32 pm

            You will get no defense of the Patriot Act from me.

            But laws that are eventually found unconstitutional are hardly a new occurrence.

            The 14th amendment was ratified in 1868. It was not until 1954, 96 years later that separate but equal was found to be a violation of the 14th amendment.

            the only people who have standing to challenge in court the Patriot Act are those who have been prosecuted under Constitutionally questionable conditions

            Griswold v Connecticut, decided in 1965 which established the right to privacy as a matter of law, was a dispute based on a law passed in the 19th century.

            activities of religious and political institutions, and

            then infiltrate these groups with no suspicion of criminal

            activity. This is a return to domestic spying on law-abiding

            religious and political groups.

            • You may now be the subject of a government investigation

            simply because of the political, activist, or advocacy

            groups you are involved in, or the statements you make

            4th AMENDMENT FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE

            SEARCHES &SEIZURES

            • Law Enforcement authorities may now conduct secret searches and wiretaps in your home or office

            without showing “probable cause.” They need only to claim that intelligence gathering is “a significant

            purpose” of their intrusion, even when the primary goal is ordinary law enforcement. They may also

            monitor where and to whom you send and receive e-mail, or where you go on the Internet, recording

            every e-mail address and website you have been in contact with.

            • Law Enforcement may now demand any personal records held by any source including your doctor,

            employer, accountant, or library. All they have to do is claim that it is related to an investigation into

            “terrorism.” The record keepers may not reveal that your records were provided to the government.

            • Judicial oversight of secret searches has been effectively minimized. The Patriot Act directs judges to

            consent to secret searches based only on the Government’s assertion that a “significant” purpose of

            an investigation is gathering information related to “terrorism,” as the government defines it.

    Maybe the Governor thought it was a better use of his time to be with people who didn’t believe in fantasy and fake science. The same idiots that the Idiot in Chief is listening to told us that “climate change” would put the world in a second ice age by 1995. They claimed that greenhouse gases would have us eating plankton out of the sea due to the destruction of the atmosphere by the mid 80’s! With the advent of Al Gore and his preposterous glacier melt now we only have a few months before Manhattan will be underwater and like some goof ball told me on Twitter the gulf states are now being inundated with fresh water from melting glaciers. (Right)

    I’d say the Governor did the right thing and stayed around reasonable people who understand that the planet is a self sustaining self preserving creation that will not be destroyed by fluorocarbons out of one pound aerosol cans or burning oil wells or car exhaust or cigarette smoke or even exploding volcanoes. (Which, by the way, put out more greenhouse gases in one major eruption than all the greenhouse gases man can muster in 1000 years of industrialization!) That’s who I’d of hung with instead of Obama and his science fantasy cabinet.

        Before you
        start claiming that everyone who disagrees with you is living in a fantasy
        world there are a number of scientists who disagree with global warming. In
        fact research by scientists refute recent data by NOAA. Their research shows
        that the original data that is used by NOAA and global warming supporters to
        exaggerate the degree to which the Earth has actually been warming. Figures
        from earlier decades have repeatedly been adjusted downwards and more recent
        data adjusted upwards, to show the Earth having warmed much more dramatically
        than the original data justified.

        Here are the same temperature charts. The first one presented by NOAA showing
        increases in temperature and the second one with the original unadjusted data.

        As you can see the raw unadjusted data tells a totally
        different story.

        The snubs happened before that speech. He snubbed and refused a meeting with Netanyahu in 2010. Get with the program yourself sparky. Obama has snubbed Netanyahu more than once. In what alternative universe has Obama warmly welcomed the Israeli prime minister? And was the before or after the hot mic incident with the French President?

            But let’s talk about how this Prez snubbed the British by sending back the bust of Winston Churchill, which was a gift from the British to the WH. And there was the hot mic where Obama (genius that he is, afterall he won a Nobel Peace Prize), insulted Netanyahu not realizing the mic was ON.

            There’s the refusal to keep an agreement with the Polish to give them the promised missile defense because they need not worry about those Russians. Even thought about 2 years earlier they invaded Georgia and a year ago went into the Ukraine.

            Some can post all the glowing and positive fictions about Obama and Israeli being the best of friends, but the dumb ass negotiations with Iran fly in the face of ALL those fictions you’re posting.

            Yeah right. But the UK Telegraph states this.

            “Mr Obama’s aides angrily denied they had returned the bust to the embassy or that the move was intended to show “antipathy towards the British”.

            But days later they were forced to backtrack, admitting the bust had in fact been sent back and that they had mistaken it for a similar piece that has been in the White House since the 1960s.”

            Incompetent? Or snub? Take your pick.

            And then there’s this snub and supreme level of incompetence stated in the Wall Street Journal.

            “In 2009 Mr. Obama scrapped U.S. plans to place missile interceptors in Poland and sophisticated X-Bandradarin the Czech Republic, a decision announced without warning to Warsaw or Prague…”

      • Stan Hoffman April 27th, 2015 at 3:10 am

        William, climate change is a hoax and scientists know it. However, in order to get government grant money to conduct research they had to invent a crisis in order to justify the need for the money. Fossil fuels are the ones that they lay the big blame on for causing climate change because they want to get funds in order to research alternative fuels. I have no problem with alternative energy development. I started teaching my Marines in my youth about the value of ethanol, wind, and solar energy. Now its big business. However, when the government gets involved in dispensing the research money, corruption runs rampant. Example. Al gore lift office in 2001 with a 2 million dollar bank account that we know of. A decade later, he had a 100 million dollar bank account that we know of. And his hard assets greatly multiplied. How did he make his money. By promoting the end of the world due to global warming and getting the masses to believe we had to do something immediately. So we through billions of dollars at the so called crisis and yes some alternative energy projects have improved. But most of the money went to corruption and to companies that had no tech skills and simply failed. What good does it do to spend $1 billion to gain a technological increase that could have been made with only $100 million. The other $900 million ends up in the pockets of politicians and promoters like al gore, and we the taxpayer are left with the expense of paying the cost. And in case you haven’t noticed, the promoters like al gore fly around the world in very expensive private jets using on average 9000 gallons of fossil fuel per trip to promote their agenda. They obviously are not concerned about the pollution they cause nor the effects it has on the idea of global warming. They obviously feel no danger that the world is indeed coming to an end from global warming. History is full of the many hoaxes that Governments and Businesses have used to further their agenda’s and their personal wealth.

          So your entire argument revolves around your hatred of Al Gore, and Marines that you apparently owned in your youth.

          I’m one of those people that likes to deal with facts instead of Limbaugh talking points. Also I had a 20 year career in military aviation

          So here goes.

          Al Gores leased Gulfstream G-3 that you uninformed tools like to use as an example does not hold 9000 gallons of fuel. Fuel in aviation BTW is measured in pounds.

          The Gulfstream G3 has a fuel capacity of 28,300 lbs. at standard day.

          A gallon of Jet fuel weighs between 6.4 lbs. per gallon and 6.8 lbs. per gallon, depending on the grade. A Gulfstream G-3 with a full bag of fuel holds about 4161 gallons.

          Your 9000 gallon line is an absolute lie, and you are a liar.

          Your interpretation of science is essentially based upon your hatred of Al Gore.

          My observations are and will remain based upon the opinions of 97 percent of the scientists involved in this subject

          http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2013/05/17/97-percent-of-scientific-studies-agree-on-manmade-global-warming-so-what-now/
          But thanks for sharing all the scientific data you learned from the radio.

            William, never said I hated al gore or the marines that I served with. You said that. And I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh. Your service doesn’t impress me one bit. You are obviously a son of belial, a son of a devil, a son of a fool, and a son of an idiot. There is nothing more I have to say to you. Enjoy the judgment of God upon your life and don’t bother whining to me as I’ll just laugh at your destruction.

          • jasperjava April 27th, 2015 at 10:25 am

            Spoken like a true “Christian”.
            Jesus must be proud of you…

          • Stan Hoffman April 27th, 2015 at 10:31 am

            jasperjava, thank you for the kind words. May God bless you and your family.

          • tracey marie April 27th, 2015 at 8:28 pm

            it was sarcasm not agreement

          • William April 27th, 2015 at 11:00 am

            It’s the old God’s-gonna-getcha defense.
            The last refuge of a fool

          • William April 27th, 2015 at 10:51 am

            LOL.
            Well the subject was climate change.
            To support your argument you mention.
            1. The marines
            2. Al Gore
            3. God (and your apparent gift, IE deciding who suffers eternal damnation)
            4.The devil
            5. God.
            Not one single solitary word that is any way related to actual science.
            No facts.
            No links
            nothing…
            as usual

            Is it OK to tell you to suck a big one on here? If so, suck a big one.

          • Stan Hoffman April 27th, 2015 at 6:56 pm

            jimmy, get your laugh today, because on the day of judgment, God will get His laugh at your destruction.

          • tracey marie April 27th, 2015 at 8:27 pm

            your myths and legends are so scary

          • tracey marie April 27th, 2015 at 8:27 pm

            you are just an old asshole

          • raysot April 29th, 2015 at 2:56 am

            ” Enjoy the judgment of God upon your life and don’t bother whining to me as I’ll just laugh at your destruction”

            …and to think that *you* think your god will let you into heaven after that comment…

            Oh the irony!

          • Stan Hoffman April 29th, 2015 at 7:28 am

            raysot, “the judgment of God” and “I’ll laugh at your destruction” are both in God’s word. Maybe you should learn a little about God before you talk.

          • OldLefty April 29th, 2015 at 7:36 am

            That is not the problem.
            The problem is not believing that you or anyone else has access to “God’s word.”

          • raysot April 29th, 2015 at 12:23 pm

            I know enough about your god to know that he’s an asshole.

            …and the fact that he condones “Laughing at someone’s destruction” doesn’t surprise me in the least.

            That’s the christian way…

          • tracey marie April 29th, 2015 at 12:31 pm

            you and your myth are assholes

    • tracey marie April 27th, 2015 at 8:26 pm

      that’s it, now go eat some applesauce grandpa

  44. Jimmy Miller April 27th, 2015 at 12:13 pm

    Do you really think Obama gave two craps about meeting with Governor Fraud?

    • DsMTwoShoes May 7th, 2015 at 12:09 am

      More than likely President Obama was somewhat pleased. Not having to pretend he was happy to see the Faux Governor.

  45. disqus_L9kdHXsEcd April 27th, 2015 at 12:27 pm

    I give the governor props for not being two-faced. I wouldn’t waste my time on this President either.

    • Carolina Gonzalez April 27th, 2015 at 4:15 pm

      lmbao!!! And who are you? You are an insignificant chicken sh**t in the Universe…lol..

      • disqus_L9kdHXsEcd April 27th, 2015 at 4:48 pm

        I am one of the many who can’t wait until we get a President who actually loves his country back into office. That’s who I am. Oh, and I’m not going to resort to calling you names to make my point.

        • OldLefty April 27th, 2015 at 4:58 pm

          I am one of the many who can’t wait until we get a President who actually loves his country back into offic

          _______

          That’s EXACTLY how I felt from 2001-2009.
          It happened and it’s great!

          • disqus_L9kdHXsEcd April 27th, 2015 at 8:09 pm

            Ok so you know exactly how I feel (except it didn’t happen).

          • tracey marie April 27th, 2015 at 8:25 pm

            9-11 happened, Iraq happened, housing crash happened, economic crash happed, 4 trillion in war debt happened….

          • demo April 29th, 2015 at 10:51 am

            You go girl let them have it obviously miss half whatever she is still stuck in 2001-2009 things r pop in with the president and most of the USA is on point in many areas but its folks like her and those republicans that continue to complain about the presidents but reaping the benefits just like everybody else I say she need to take her half ass and keep it moving sold out idiot

          • OldLefty April 27th, 2015 at 8:56 pm

            Yep.
            I think it will take a few more years to repair the damage of the last 35 years.

        • GarColga April 27th, 2015 at 8:04 pm

          You are one of many that will switch from being a racist to being a huge sexist in Jan. 2017.

          • disqus_L9kdHXsEcd April 27th, 2015 at 8:09 pm

            First of all, just because I don’t like Obama does not mean I’m a racist. I don’t like him because he’s incompetent. Being 1/2 black myself, I identified with him until he proved himself unworthy of the office he holds now. Secondly, I am all for having a female President, however, I am not going to vote for someone just because they have a vagina. No–I am going to vote for someone who can do the job. And just to be all the way clear, I’m female too. Yes black & female. Now what do you have to say??

          • Carolina Gonzalez April 27th, 2015 at 9:08 pm

            You are an idiot, female and black. Now, what you were talking about?

          • disqus_L9kdHXsEcd April 27th, 2015 at 9:23 pm

            I tried not to go there but obviously you don’t seem to understand when I respond respectfully. So let me put it to you this way, you ignorant bitch ass whore. I am female. I am black. And I am sick to death of stupid people like you.

          • Carolina Gonzalez April 28th, 2015 at 12:32 pm

            So, what are you going to
            do about that “miss disgusting”? May your wishes come true “if
            you are really sick to death”. lmbao!!

          • Ibulena May 28th, 2015 at 1:09 pm

            Were you the mean girl in school? So much pent up anger. Seeks help!!

        • tracey marie April 27th, 2015 at 8:24 pm

        • Carolina Gonzalez April 27th, 2015 at 9:05 pm

          Oh boy, you will die waiting for the right president “who actually loves this country” They all want a short-term job with a life-time benefits. lmbao
