    Obama came into office "with a $1.3 trillion deficit before I had passed any law. ... We came in with $8 trillion worth of debt over the next decade." — Barack Obama on Friday, January 29th, 2010 in a Republican retreat in Baltimore

    Maybe it was the Sugar Plum Fairies?

    You!

    Geez, thank you so much for raising my blood pressure again by recalling the travesty of the Bush administration.


    It is for this reason, and this reason alone, that until I hear a Republican candidate admit to the war crimes committed by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice, that none of them have an ounce of integrity to lead this nation honestly. The GOP's continual habitual stance towards foreign policy as being an extension of "US interests", which as we now know is a hidden agenda of imperialistic colonization on behalf of US corporations, is what creates the turmoil that we are having to deal with today. It is for this reason that Republican presidential candidates in my opinion are incapable of delivering a peaceful and prosperous image of the United States. They will only continue to promote war. We already see them circling the wagons on Iran.

    It's really sad you can't make a distinguishing observation between those BS statements. Are you like under the age of 25?

    10,000 years hence, I doubt even the American founding fathers will be remembered. In fact, I'll bet today's nation states will also be long gone.

    A lot of ideology and words via the media, so he too (and Bush) was/is an advantage for those who seek power and control. Because history is about getting control over a population. The fact that so many people talk about Obama (in positive and negative ways) (and before Obama about Bush, in almost the same way) shows how powerful new information is.
    In this information society it is not society that is providing the information, that (unique personal) information is what is missing all the time (because that is how an information war works) How succesful Obama's (and Bush's) words were can be counted by the number of discussions (and world wide) Way too many.

    Nobody cares when you added it, it's wrong

    According to the report, Assad tucked away “caches of even deadlier nerve agents” than the ones relinquished. The weapons currently run the risk of falling into the hands of the Islamic State or, alternatively, Israel’s arch-foe Hezbollah, according to US intelligence sources


    Pathetic

    You and the other cons don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about the U.S. so I'll just file your comment under BS. You've been cheering for the U.S. to fail every since we have had Obama as president.

    In fact ISIS has more in common with conservatives so wouldn't be surprised if most cons in the U.S. are just ISIS plants.

    Obama has been a bit plagued by gridlock in Congress, but to some extent his job performance is proportional to his ability to guide Congress - that's what the Presidency has become: a shepherd King. To a large extent we have FDR and Wilson to thank for that.

    Hmmm. Cons or libs are closer to ISIS. Let's analyze this.

    Cons want to destroy ISIS, they want to pretty much nuke the entire region- thus ending in no more ISIS.

    Libs do not want to nuke the entire region. In fact, many libs want us out of the entire region. Thus leaving room for ISIS to grow.

    Cons don't agree with gay marriage would love to see it banned just like ISIS

    Cons want religious laws followed just like ISIS

    Cons want to use force to enforce their views just like ISIS

    Cons want to control the ME region just like ISIS.

    Nope cons have more in common with ISIS than liberals.

    Chew on that bub.

    LMAO...The joke's on you. The right routinely lambasts Lincoln and FDR for the most heinous of crimes, so Obama is already in good company.
    And a majority voted for Obama in 2008 and again in 2012, so inventing some jerkoff fantasy to discredit them sounds desperate and embarrassing.
    I'd vote for Obama again if he were running on his record.

    Thanks for proving my point. Obama was not saying the debt was 8T when he took office as you falsely asserted, but "$8 trillion worth of debt over the next decade" meaning that was projected to accrue over the next eight years.

    Politicfact also did not "verify" that the debt was $8T when Obama took office, as you falsely claimed.

    Weird.

    I wanted him to fight for the LGBT community instead of knocking Biden back for expressing support. I wanted him to end Federal government involvement in marriage. I wanted him to embrace federalism and allow the states to determine drug policy entirely. I wanted him to withdraw out of conflict in the Middle East. I wanted him to dramatically cut spending and taxes.

    I am currently in an Amsterdam coffee shop. There's no reason why more jurisdictions can't do a similar thing. Overregulation is better than prohibition.

    I think the Gazi's (global socialist) like the nuclear deal with Iran that will give Iran more money to kill greedy, evil, Americans (like John Kerry said) and nuclear weapons to blast those dirty Jews into the sea. How can you install a global socialist police state with free nations like America and Israel around.

    10K years? (Some people are already forgetting "Jesus". LOL!!)

    But in 150 years... a lot about what Barack Obama did (even before he was POTUS) and who he was, WILL be studied in history. And with most of the negative 'hype' and ludicrous 'hysteria' filtered out, he'll be remembered rather fondly, I think.
