I'm so looking forward to returning to life before President Obama.

Life was so left and care free. Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush gave us hope, something to unite behind.

President Obama came along and ruined all that.

Damn you, President Obama.

1. Here's 26 ways he's completely ruined the country. . .

16. By imposing a new big government regulation to shrink the size of dominoes, resulting in tragedies like this.

21. By bribing this dog to throw the dog show because he's a much bigger fan of hounds.

2. LOL!

Cracks me up.

6. That is funny stuff...

I must have watched that model fall 20 times.

3. it's raining republicans and conservative democrats. let's get a liberal/progressive dem in 2016!

[ProSense]

4. Agree.

"it's raining republicans and conservative democrats. let's get a liberal/progressive dem in 2016!"

Don't you wish you had a fast forward button to skip to a time when things will definitely get better?

5. The best of a horrible group is still bad.

Obama is better than most of the people you named, but that's not saying too much. Reagan was probably the worst president in the latter half of the 20th century and Bush junior will likely go down as one of the worst presidents ever. I said most because it's debatable who is better Clinton or Obama. Neither were very good, but better than the others on your list.

7. I think we need a new smiley,

like a glass half empty or a "sourpuss".

In the meantime, I'd like to leave everyone with this short poem:

The difference 'twixt an Optimist and a Pessimist is droll,
the Optimist sees the doughnut, whilst the Pessimist sees the hole.

[ProSense]

13. It's not a smiley, but

how's this:

[ProSense]

8. Yup,

"Obama is better than most of the people you named, but that's not saying too much."

...not good enough. We need to go back to the "last liberal" President, Nixon.

"I said most because it's debatable who is better Clinton or Obama. Neither were very good, but better than the others on your list. "

A Clinton fan, I see.

[white_wolf]

9. Clinton fan? Not at all.

I think he was horrible, I'm just not sure if he was worse than Obama. I'll never forgive him for NAFTA, but Obama has signed a couple of his own free-trade agreements among other policy mistakes.

[ProSense]

10. What about

"I'll never forgive him for NAFTA, but Obama has signed a couple of his own free-trade agreements among other policy mistakes."

...DADT, DOMA, Glass-Steagall, etc?

Whenever anyone starts to make the "I'm just not sure if he was worse than Obama" argument about Clinton, my eyebrows get raised.

[white_wolf]

11. Good points. Not to mention the Telecommunications Act.

Which I blame for the horrible state of media. In my opinion, though it really doesn't matter which was better. They are both centrist "New Democrats" in my opinion and have helped turn the Democratic Party into Republican-lite.

[ProSense]

12. Well,

"Which I blame for the horrible state of media. In my opinion, though it really doesn't matter which was better. They are both centrist "New Democrats" in my opinion and have helped turn the Democratic Party into Republican-lite."

...IMO it does matter because the first step back is to reverse some of Clinton's negative policies, primarily in terms of deregulation and civil rights.

14. How do we know we are not just watching a show?

It seems to me that any president sense JFK has been captured...
What I mean is that once in office if they don't know the score and just who calls the shots they tell them so that they may understand just what they will be allowed to do...

When asked what most surprised him as president Jimmy Carter (who I believe to be one of the few honest politicians we have ever had) said he was surprised by how little power he had...and the look in his eyes spoke clearly to me that this was no small remark.

But we live in this fantasy that the president is the most powerful man in the world...I think the most powerful man (or more likely men) in the world is unknown by most of us...
But that might be a CT...and I could be in danger of the thought police for that.
