For many Republican, they refuse to read about the successes of the President Obama Administration, but whether they read or not, the facts are undeniable.
Quote:
The Nobel Prize-winning economist, once one of the president’s most notable critics, on why Obama is a historic success
By Paul Krugman | October 8, 2014
Read more: In Defense of Obama | Rolling Stone
Rush Limbaugh came out with his treasonous comment, of wishing "Failure upon the Obama Adminstration". This is no different than an attack upon and against the American people and the American nation.

Republican's banned together claiming to do everything possible to make the President a One Term President". This represents an aim and intent to assualt the American system, its people and gridlock any progress that it can find ways to put a choke hold upon.

When people supported the Presidents aim to bridge Partisian Divides, the Right Wing went into action to make every effort to defeat that aim and agenda of Political Unity on Behalf of the American People.

They went so far as to have a right wing senator shout out "insults during the State of the Union Address". Unprescedented Ignorance in such a display of disrespect for the nation and its leader.

Republican has been exposed as not a fiscal conservative party, but one that did everything to enrich the wealthy, transfer wealth and power to foreign trade partners, and every other means to ensure to diminish any avenue for dire poor whites, women and minorities to get economic uplift and parity.
The attitude became to demonstrate that Republican Agenda would do anything by any means to defeat any measure that supported uplift of dire poor whites, women and minorities. Even the mention of any Bill or Measure aimed at helping the Mainstream American to gain a progressive pathway, was attacked and assualts of every type was engaged to challenge and grid lock or diminish the content of these Bills and Measures.
The fight against Wall Street Reforms, we and is an ongoing pursuit of Republican Support Systems, they hold their hands out waiting on Lobbyist to buy away concerns of the American public.

The system of efforts to help lower College tuition, again, a massive effort by Republican operations to push an agenda against the profit gouging done by banks on Student Loans, along with Republican Donors pushing to dictate agenda within and upon the college campuses. It's almost unimaginable how any parent could support a part who continually has a disregard for the education of the young.

It's equally so unthinkable, how women could support a part that seeks by any and every means to relegate women to second class status and dictates of the Ultra Right Wing Agenda, as if we were still caught up in the Victorian Era Madness of Gender Repressions.

All these thing exist, from Stalling out the Budget Funding, causing us to incur higher rate on Federal Debt, to Shutting Down the Government in the Middle of a Challenged Economic Environment; thus further insulting this nation of a Global Display of bigotry, bias and pure madness driven by a Tea Party Lead push. Because they by every means refuse to respect a President who is a man no of the White Male Category.

Most Nations see the Good works of the President. They don't seek to measure him based on some "Brute Actions Figure Imagery". The President uses Brains, not the Ignorance of Brute Arrogance.
He continues to do what he said he would do, that is to give and support the act of "Diplomacy".
He supports it Domestically and he supports it Globally.
He is not one to jump into 'Cowboy Dan" Go shoot up em, policy. He does not commit troops to situation based on Republican pomp and pagentry of Bully Tactics. If it was left to Republican Process, We'd be at War in Iran, We'd be at War in Egypt, We'd have sent troops to Syria, We'd have sent troops to Ukraine and we'd be again ready to deploy troops in any place that had internal issues and conflicts.

As to the people, many are thankful we had a President who understood the devastation of the Bush Administrations Economic Crash of the Nations Financial Functions. They respect and appreciate the social programs. There are many business people who would not have survived without the social program and the public stimulus fundings that were put in place. Even still today, there are many professional and commercial entities, who survive and profit because of the social programs still in place.
While many gripe and whine and make a fuss, it is among those doing so, who unknowing to them, they probably work for a company which thrives because of Government Contracts, Government Grants and Government back loans and other Government supported inititatives.
The same is true of the gripers who whine about 'Environmental Regulations", they should be whining and crying to the ownership members of these companies and to the Wall Street Boards, who over inflate the stock, but won't invest the money into upgrades and improvements. Instead they divvy it up among themselves and their stock holders, and present sham reports to avoid upgrading their facility. In turn they lay off workers and pocket the difference, they cut workers benefits and pocket the difference in the form of bonuses and stock give aways. While the blind minded worker listend to the bloated executive of the company, and try and push the blame on the Administration. All because the executive fail to invest, investor money in the needs to improve the company for long term sustainablity.

It takes just a bit of thinking, one need not be a scholar, but one does need to pay attention !!! and one need not be misled by "talk madness of Talk Radio, Round Table Media Bicker Fest" and a Media bent on trying to control and manipulate the minds of the masses.

One has to develop a mind that can deal with more than 140 characters, and it has to become a society who can and does think, and not look to put up one liner slap stick comedic utterance on Twitter and Facebook and crown themselves King of the Imbecile Brigade.

We see and We've seen a barrage of nothing but "ATTACK ADS', We have one Louisiana Canididate who can't open his mouth without attacks aims at the President, and the President is not running for any office, He is the President of these United States.

We have lost TRILLIONS of Dollars which could benefit this nation, all behind Partisian Attacks upon and against the Administration.

We've not see any Republican Group speak about or do anything to push bills and measures to Force American Industry to Produce on American Soil. As a result we have such things like a 30+ billion dollars A MONTH, trade imbalance, just with China. Now how is that possible? except by Political Ignorance.

We have all the means to fix our system fix our ports of entry for products and people. But because of Gridlock mentality, the choice of the Right Wing is to do nothing.
But as the President said, he can and will use executive orders, and he welcomes constructive bills that make actions permanent.

Now ask yourself, why the Republican Gridlock and Fighting Attitude is continuing to bring downwards the ideals and hopes of the American people?

Other nations are mocking and laughing at our weak President.

Obamacare is his legacy and it is built on lies and complete deception. (much like the man)

Republicans chose to wreck the country in order to win. It's as simple as that.

Mitch McConnell may be the greatest strategist in contemporary politics - Vox

"Obama would be seen as the game-changing president who healed American politics and got things done. McConnell's counter plan was to prevent those deals. As McConnell told Josh Green, the key to eroding Obama's popularity was denying him the sheen of bipartisanship, and that meant keep Republicans united in opposition
To prevent Obama from becoming the hero who fixed Washington, McConnell decided to break it. And it worked. Six years into the affair, we now take it for granted that nothing will pass on a bipartisan basis, no appointment will go through smoothly, and everything the administration tries to get done will take the form of a controversial use of executive power.
It's been ugly. But in most voters' mind, the ugliness has attached to Obama and, by extension, Democrats. It was a very counterintuitive strategy, but it was well-grounded in the best political science available. And it worked.


So Republicans in Congress jammed everything up and then pointed at Obama for six years. Since the midterm election is primarily a small segment of older white voters, they fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Barack is not qualified to "fix" anything. He has no managerial or executive experience. I am proud that the GOP kept him from getting the parents car out of the garage.

So what is the truth about Obama? He's a leftist/communist/socialist/black liberation theologist who has destroyed the country, or he's a leftist/communist/socialist/black liberation theologist who WANTED to destroy the country, but was only thwarted by the heroic GOP headed by talk radio and the Congressional GOP?

They don't understand, they probably think this previous statement is a compliment; the sadder part is they are not equipped to understand. Why try to instill awareness into ones mind, who has a fixed in stone fear of their own inferiority, until they have to lash out with ignorance at each turn and think it makes them superior. This is the grandest delusion in the American landscape.

How Amazing, as if you have no idea many of the provision of ACA was in the program your beloved Romney promoted when he was governor. Later trying to deny any and all of it to fit with Republican silliness.

Maybe you should actually learn about ACA and not from Hannity, Limbaught, O'Riley, and the Fox Talking Heads. Maybe actually learning about the people it helped, and maybe even be thankful it forced those companies who inusre people out side of the exchange, to not deny coverage and to give the people the benefits they paid for.
But that's probably far to intricate for you to invest in investigating.
Some people are destined to seek to be led by 'talking heads"... They call that the "Sub-Authortian Types, who follow people whom they assume to be an Authortian Voice. These types will walk off a cliff if that Talking Head leads them in that direction, and one behind the next, go over the cliff, thinking the others must have been able to fly, all the while the bodies pile up at the bottom of the valley floor.

10's of Millions who have been helped .. would probably tell someone with your demeanor to get away from them.
There are not a lot of people who are in support of dire hard core hater mentality who despise seeing anything help and benefit others. But, go on and fight, the more you fight, the more you expose your selfishness and inhumane disregard for the health and care of other others.

Not one ACA Health covered individual has cost you one penny from your income... still you fight .... how absurd.

In fact, YOU are the person that made that connection - nobody else.

Are you a racist? According to the definition used by leftists when attacking their political opponents, the mere fact that you brought up his skin color is proof that you're racist. So now that you've established that you are, let's see you defend yourself. Don't like it? Tough. This is the new Democrat playbook, and you support these tactics. Now prove you're not racist.

The same goes for Hillary Clinton. No experience running anything and living off the coattails of her husband and appointments from others.

Indeed. Let's learn about it, not from Republican talking heads but from one of it's architects:

“In terms of risk-rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in—you made explicit that healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed, okay. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass…Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”
Jonathan Gruber, ACA architect.

This, from the administration of a president who campaigned on increased transparency in government.

"My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government."
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/TransparencyandOpenGovernment]

Yet in what some could argue as his defining act as president, the passage of the ACA, it was engineered and designed to be as NON-TRANSPARENT and as possible with nothing but contempt for the American Voter as voiced by Gruber in the above quote.
