    All of my life I have heard people say we need a business man as President.

    I do feel that a man that has actually made a payroll and built things

    and operated in the business world brings a lot more to the office than a

    politician that just has a theoretical frame of reference.

    As far as obama goes, what real experience did he bring to the office?

    None. He wasn't much of a U.S. senator so far as moving and shaking are concerned and so the short time that he was one before he started devoting full time to his presidential run amounted to pretty much nothing. State senator as it relates to the presidency? Giggle time. Community organizer? Please! So far as meaningful resumes go had nada and he amounted to zilch.

    Barack Obama never got past the featherweight division as president because it turned out after the fact that innately he was just no damn good at it. Thanks to the radical left's insane mania for Political Correctness the man was an Affirmative Action hire and was Peter Principled waaaaaaaaaaaay past his learned skills or innate abilities.

    You had your chance to get a businessman in office who had his head on his shoulders. Mittens.

    What goes on in the boardroom is not the same as what goes on in the Oval Office. Sorry, but it just doesn't. It would be like saying, "Well, what goes on in a recording studio is what goes on in the Oval Office."
    Trump fed off his daddy's money, if he had gone from nothing to something, he would be due to deserve some respect, but he was born into a family with wealth and name recognition. That's one of the most pathetic ways you can become successful in life.

    Obama's miniscule experience as a junior senator is more experience than 30 years in business. Simply because it is POLITICAL experience.

    Trump to order on Mexico wall. Repeal and replace. The pileline... cut taxes... for crying out loud Trump did more in less then a week then Obama did in years... Trump was right again... big talk politicians talk. Trump leads and gets things done.. he is doing what he promised, returning the government back to the people... all Americans must realize the danger of this. The left will do absolutely anything to prevent this.

    Hahahahahaha! Obama actually tried to get senators and representatives to do what he wanted by offering them cheese and wine. Do his worshipers even recall how much of a pie-in-the-sky bumbler he was as a newbie president? The idiot actually thought that all he had to do was smile and crack jokes and that they would do whatever he desired. He was totally at sea and the only things that saved his rump were Rahm Emanuel and the sycophantic press that fanatically spun and covered for him all the damn time.

    The pipeline was inevitably going to happen. I wouldn't come back from hitting my head and give Trump credit for that.
    Trump is leading America into seclusion, bowing out of the TPP and now putting these needless bans on refugees from these middle eastern countries. Eventually and inevitably, we need big government to move about as a society. Simply letting it to people and states to decide leads to a fracture in the country.

    But he hasn't done any of those things. The wall is not built. the first brick hasn't been ordered. He has not repealed or replaced anything. There has not even been a first vote in any body, and he's likely to slow this down more than speed it up. He hasn't cut taxes. he's talked about cutting taxes like all republicans do. You are giving his mouth too much credit.

    Agitating, causing trouble and dividing society, that's what community organizers do.

    Congress has already approved the wall and G.W. Bush signed it into law. Even Sen. Crooked Hillary voted for the wall. But the MSM refused to report that fearing that illegal aliens might stay home and not vote on Nov. 8th.

    The problem has been that Obama as President ignored the oath of office he took and refused to enforce the laws passed by Congress for eight years.

    Tomorrow, Jan. 25th, President Trump is suppose to deal with immigration, the wall and Muslims.

    None. He was a "clean and articulate" black man. The media and the lefties fell in love with him.

    The man's a workhorse for sure. So far, I like what he has done. But I'm a little worried about deregulating banks and removing environmental protections. And what he does about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA will have big effects, especially for those on fixed incomes. Let's hope that it's for the good.

    Ain't it the truth.

    Historians will look back and ponder

    how in the hell did obama ever get elected.

    They will conclude that a white man with

    his limited qualifications wouldn't have

    had a snowballs chance in hell of ever being elected.

    The sad thing is that Americas white guilt

    only made things worse with this Racist man as President.

    obama squandered the chance to be great with his prejudices.

    Yeah, don't you know rooster - he's been in office for a few days now, and he hasn't gotten everything done yet.

    BTW, that do-nothing president will be doing this tomorrow:

    Trump set to order construction of Mexican border wall

    That's a good question. How in the hell did Obama ever get elected?

    I mean occasionally, I wonder, how a virtually unknown junior senator of only 2 years - known only to some of the Illinois voters - beats Hillary and then wins the Presidency. How? The man was never heard of, had no accomplishments, and nothing to really offer (except for the old "hope").

    Yet he won.

    Personally, I think there was only one reason why that happened, with the Liberal media playing a huge role.
