It's entirely true, and those who disagree have brains made of mush.

There is nothing factual in it, it is opinion. It always amazes me when an adult can't tell the difference between fact and opinion, but let me try to help:

Fact: Rabbits are mammals
Opinion: Puppies are cuter than kittens

The key here is that the claim that rabbits are mammals can be proven true by empirical data, but as much as one pouts and screams and jumps up and down they can't prove or disprove the claim that puppies are cuter than kittens. Capiche?

It is true.
The OP was claiming that it was in Newsweek, which it was not. As such, the first line in the piece is not true: "AMAZING!!! The Cover of Liberal Newsweek Magazine"

It also isn't an "article." It's an opinion piece, with, well, opinions not verifiable facts. When the author writes, "Liberals don’t care if these minority students fail;" that's basically false. I, as a liberal, care if minority students fail. The opinion piece is loaded with similar baseless assertions.

The main theme, that 'the 2008 election of Barack Obama will be looked upon by historians as a baffling breed of mass hysteria,' is already been undercut by the 2012 re-election of Barack Obama. It's a silly assertion at that, thinking that the voters must be hysterical because they didn't agree with your candidate choice.

Well, when it comes to brains of mush, I will concede that you appear to be well acquainted with the condition....

There is no "hoax" here, except that it wasn't published in Newsweek (if true).
"Failure" lol! Yeah, unemployment is crazy low, the Stock Market is crazy high, gas is cheap, gay couples can marry, many who had no health insurance now have it.... His main failure was ever trying to negotiate with Republicans.

I agree. Obama wasted his entire first term trying to act in good faith with Republicans that had no intention of doing anything but undermine his actions.

Overall, 73 percent of people who bought health plans and 87 percent of those who signed up for Medicaid said they were somewhat or very satisfied with their new health insurance. Seventy-four percent of newly insured Republicans liked their plans. Even 77 percent of people who had insurance before — including members of the much-publicized group whose plans got canceled last year — were happy with their new coverage. [Commonwealth Fund]

What should be respected is the Humane and Dignified Stand of President Obama, who has stayed with one message, and that is to work in and of as well as work on the behalf of the American People and this Nation and deal with the world community via Diplomacy as being a dignified nation. He has not stomped around issuing other nations ultimatums, and he does not have to sit idle waiting on a "do nothing congress", and/or "being held back by a right wing congress who took a pledge to seek to impede, stall out, block, deny and attack any and all efforts within his Presidency". History will record him as a President who used intellect and connecting that intellect with the positive and progressive minds of this era of life, to push American forward and regain the stature of respect it lost during the previous administration. No amount of right wing bigotry, racism and none of their right winger detest about his skin color will deter the works that President Obama has sworn to uphold, progress and protect.


I don't write comments without referencing some point, principle and/or fact. Its sad that some things of truths people don't want to hear, as if to seek intent to deny truths. Life does not omit the truth, whether its pleasant or not, nor does truth rely upon patronizing anyone, but it certainly supports speak of truths in respect of truthfulness.
America has some nasty stuff in its history, bigotry, racism and the ignorance of delusions of superiority and the whole mass of things that resulted to show human ignorance in the ways it abused, disregarded and tried to minimize people, marginalize their achievements, and then go so far as to denigrate the nature of a long history of ethnicities.
America never would have become what it is, nor could it have made it through the things it has gone through in establishing itself if it were not for the labors and contributions of blacks in this nation. both the contribution under duress, forced labor and torments of every imaginable sort, and still blacks has persevered and simply pursued the simplicity of humane acknowledgment as individual and person, and respect to be regarded and protected under the Constitution the many lives and deaths of black people pushed forth to give in support of this nation. More than any other ethnicity on this nation, along with that of the American Native American Indians.

Anglo based and driven greed is the greatest threat to America and the system of Greed pursuits and Avarice driven madness of material gluttony has been and continues to be the damaging force in and upon these American lands, both upon and against its people
. Look at History with open eyes and aware minds, it demonstrates exactly such: Slavery, Slaughter of Native Americans, Indenture, Segregation and all such things are direct elements derived from Anglo Greed, Self Contentedness, inhumane abuses and every evil and vile act against and upon mankind imaginable, has been engaged to feed a lust for greed, and a driving aim for Avarice filled gluttonous agenda. Under such material madness derived the delusion that such greed and avarice was proclaimed as some basis for claiming a mad and vain claim of wanting to promote some fiction of superiority. Devoid of all things of Christian Premise, until it sought to twist the words of God premise trying to justify such madness. That is something of which many should seek atonement, and right living principles to give up the ways of such vile, vanity, gluttony, avarice, haughtiness, covertness, lusting, wrath filled motivations, false, malicious and materialistic based pride, sloth of trying to gain by the use and abuse of others to cover up their laziness of self as well as of spiritual manner.

President Obama campaigned on "CHANGE", It was targeted to promote a level playing field for "All", a return to investing in American for the benefit of "Nation and All", Change, in how we deal with the world community, and to do so via Diplomacy. Change to rebuild American where it works for all people. It's unfortunate he had to modify his works to deal with the messes left from the Previous administration of a devastated economy, jobless people, people being made homeless, companies closing and companies being outsourced, money hid off shore, greed in banks and wall street and a congress that has gone off its rockers. and the craziness of multiple wars, and a war machine system that was destabilizing the entire middle east and affecting nations around the world. None of these things does a Republican Madness take into account.
