How about a constitutional lawyer that couldn't cut it who became a community organizer that was funded by elite left wing nut jobs like Ayers, who lied through his teeth and suckers a boatload of people into believing his rhetoric, who promptly became a warmonger who received the Nobel Peace prize and promptly brought the greatest nation in the world to its knees through his gross incompetency.

Next question?

Phony means fake. Last I checked, Obama is a real president.

Use another term.

Default His legacy: America in the eyes of the world

Are we the laughing stock of the world? This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity. Of course we look like idiots … because we are.


10) Only in America ... could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.

9) Only in America ... could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black. 40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!

8) Only in America ... could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

7) Only in America ... can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

6) Only in America ... would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens.

5) Only in America ... could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."

4) Only in America ... could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

3) Only in America ... could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

2) Only in America ... could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

1) Only in America ... could rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

And at least Jimmah could lift a hammer once his tour of white house duty was finished. What can Obama do? Absolutely nothing. He's never held a job and has NO talents that anyone can see.

Default How will history remember Barack Obama

As the president who had more blind, naked hatred directed against him than any other.

Obama* will be remembered for getting re-elected by illegally using government agencies to suppress opposition.

Unfortunately, that list is dead on. That's what is going to make it all sweeter for the rest of the world when we crash and end up a third world country. Reminds me of the early Romans and we all know what happened there. I just hope we don't experience worse consequences.
