Says you...

Seeing as though the Democrats were taken to the woodshed last week, I'd say the majority of the country doesn't care for your spin on things.

By forgetting to mention other more relevant facts important to the context and conversation.

But Obama-cult members usually do this. I could explain it ten more times and you still wouldn't get it. So why bother.

They don't care. They've been conditioned to have an irrational and unhealthy hatred for Republicans, it seems.

Here's the problem with this Canadian's point of view. He hasn't had to actually live under a system ran by Obama. Sure, he hears MSNBC and other left leaning news sources paint a pretty picture and then is confused when we overwhelmingly rejected Obama policies in this mid-term election. However, when you actually look at exit polls, you can quickly see why we did so. People are reporting their own personal financial picture is not good and not improving (believe that number was around 70%). This isn't something those left-leaning media sources like to advertise and in fact, do anything in their power to not report. So, when you're fed a whole lot of BS, then yes, it's natural to be confused. However, Americans have the most powerful of all facts - they live it everyday. So I forgive this Canadian for being woefully ignorant of what it's like to live in Obama's America today because he fell for the well-crafted propaganda, which is this administration's only achievement to date.

Take him please! Oh nose, then we are stuck with Biden, who at this point may be a better option. One puts their foot in their mouth most of the time. The other one is just full of BS all the damn time.

The list of his non accomplishments and unbelievable scandals are growing by the day. I think it is sad that he had so much promise to be a great President and the country was behind him but he will leave office being known for causing so much damage to the country and its reputation abroad that it is going to take years to overcome them.
History would remember him better if he had been a one term president.
The Romans coined an expression after AD 69 when there was a much hoped for new emperor in a year of turmoil and he terribly flopped ..."He would have been a better ruler if he had never ruled."

We are nuts. We just elected the same goons that created the mess this administration has cleaned up.

Insanity is doing the same thing over again expecting different results.



No, it is putting it in context. The U.S. economy is strongest in the developed world. We have recovered from the Global recession. Our dollar is strong again. Our reputation in the world is recovering. To what "excuses" are you refering to?



Since when are facts considered talking points?

This is your opinion. In my opinion we just elected a whole slate of people that will clean up the mess that Obama has created over the past 6 years.

It may be a mess, but what Bush left Obama was a disaster.

What policies of Bush left us a disaster?
