Better isn't the word to use. Eight years later we are up to our neck in garbage vs up to our eyeballs? Hip Hip Hurray.

Actually he did try to publicize the government managed housing market was headed for disaster but he didn't put much into it. BUT a couple times he spoke out for increased home ownership. The 2004 RNC acceptance speech.

Although Obama wasn't in office when the Horrible Dream Act and subsequent actions which caused the boom/bust no doubt he would have voted for it. He's big government all the way as his votes and actions prove.
You're putting your future in the hands of the same ones who ruined the economy? Why haven't you learned?

Again you're promoting the same ones who wouldn't allow two people in love to get married. Why? Because they agree with you this time?

How about government stays out of our private lives and quit enforcing the tyrannical will of the majority, that includes marriage.

This is an example of what we fought the Revolutionary War over. It wasn't to replace British tyranny with our own tyranny. Discrimination like AA?

It wasn't Bush's great recession, it was the Democrats' great recession.

They are the ones who caused it.

In 1999, Clinton's HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo ordered Fannie and Freddie to buy $2.4 trillion in subprime loans over the next ten years.

Democrats supported those wars.

Both Bill and Hillary called for "regime change" in Iraq.

More people have insurance only because people who can afford their own insurance are being forced to subsidize people who don't, while the insurance companies who wrote the ACA thank Obama and the Democrats for their windfall of millions of new "customers."

Obama and the Democrats are all about robbing middle class Peter to pay lower-class Pablo and Deron.

But of course, the liberal rich people like George Cloony -- no one touches them!

Oh, great!

Two guys can get married, and then, after the wedding announcement is published in the local newspaper, can be fired the next day for being gay by their bosses in about 29 states where discriminating against gays is still legal.

BTW, why wasn't Obama for gay marriage when he ran for President in 2008 and 2012?

He wasn't, you know.

Why wasn't Hillary for it in 2008?

Why wasn't Bill for it in 1992 and 1996?

Why did Bill advocate DOMA and Don't Ask Don't Tell?

Hell, arch-conservative Republican Barry Goldwater advocated for gay rights before Bill, Hillary and Obama did!

Such courage!

Such principle!

Methinks you should learn a little about Islam before you continue to make galactically silly posts.

Pretty funny.

I will freely admit my knowledge of Islam is limited, but I do know a lot about Christianity and as I wrote in the post you replied to whatever Obama did as a child has no bearing on whether he is a Christian today.

I enjoy good booze. Come November, I won't be troubled, but I'll likely be highly amused at the psychotic spittle-spewing from the right. Might go ahead and drink to that. Maybe a Johnny Walker Black or Lagavulin.

Trump could visit the White House as a guest and pretend to be president for a few minutes. That's as close as he'll get.

Once a moslem, always a moslem. Penalty for departure ... death ... allah demands it. Your ideas about Christianity are probably correct. Suggest you read a little about islam before you continue to make erroneous statements.

B. Hussein Obama may well not be a Muslim. He was however educated in a madrassah and has adopted the Third World narrative of West/Christians/Jews bad and oppressors, Muslims victims.

That's laughable. Obama smeared America with his particularly-vile filth since long before he infested the White House.

Are you forgetting that the POS bowed and kissed the Saudi Kings ring? No apostate muzzie would ever be allowed to do that. You also forget his comment to George Step... about this "Moslem Faith" and had to be corrected to say "Christian". He is indeed a moslem and when you look at how he is responding to the ME crisis [even refusing to say islamic terrorism] it only begins to identify our future problems.
