Doesn't say much for Hillary's leadership skills, either. She was Sec State for 4 of those years.

53% must be patriotically impaired.

In general, Obama has caused more harm to our nation than any other ENEMY our country has ever faced...foreign or domestic. The most harmful issue is that our media is in bed with him and will never do real investigative reporting on him as they would on any conservative or Christian, for that matter. Believing the TV is like saying everything you read on the internet must be true.

The war of all wars is yet to come...and I believe that it will be the Muslims (and other deceived followers) led by the antichrist vs the Christians led by Jesus himself!

I've read the back of the book and we win (Christ's army). So, if the Bible is just a bunch of junk written by men full of flaws and not for today...and there's no heaven or hell...and Jesus is the only way to heaven, etc. and I am totally wrong...Folks, I still wouldn't change my life as it is or my beliefs. I'm a content man.

I'm either 100% right in saying "Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father but by Him..." OR I'm 100% wrong... And I die today...what have I lost? But if you believe just the opposite of me and YOU die today (without Christ as your savior) what will YOU loose??

So...hears the big question, "Who's the real gambler here...you or me?" The next question to you is "Where are you going to be a 1,000 years from now?" The Bible says you will be alive in 1 of 2 places...Heaven or Hell. It's your choice. Gamble on the Life...Jesus Christ...for you have your very soul to loose.

God bless your decision...seek Him and you will find Him!

I was responding to someone who wrote "No, we just invade Saddam & Iraq" and then brought up Hillary, Feinstein, and Boxer as if the Iraq invasion had nothing to do with Bush, Obama's failure to pull us completely from the ME and close Gitmo are their own failures.

I haven't seen much if any 'leadership' in Washington for years. Sadly, this year's election isn't going to change that.

Your statement that Obama has caused more harm to our nation than Germany, Japan, al Qaeda, et al calls the credibility of the rest of your post very much into question.

Obama went to school in a Muslim majority country.

When Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood was the head of Egypt (he called Jews "the descendants of apes and pigs"), Obama gave him a billion dollars, tanks and F-16s.

When ISIS beheaded an American on video, Obama interrupted his golf game in Hawaii for five whole minutes to make a statement, then returned to his game with a big smile on his face.

Obama made a deal with Iran -- the chief state sponsor of Muslim terrorism -- that gives Iran up to $150 billion.

When ISIS burned a Jordanian pilot alive in a cage, Obama said we "shouldn't get on our high horse" and talked about the Crusades -- which only happened after 300 years of Muslim attacks on Christian Europe.

Obama released five high level Taliban detainees in return for one American deserter/traitor who supports Islamic terror and wanted to join the enemy.

Obama wants to allow tens of thousands of Muslim refugees into this country even though the head of the CIA, the head of the FBI, and the national intelligence director have all said that ISIS will infiltrate those refugees, and there is no way that we can vet them properly.

Obama has had the words "Islamic terror", "Jihad" and "Sharia Law" removed from all government documents and training manuals.

Obama ordered the Department of Homeland Security to "scrub" the names of all Muslim Americans who were suspected of having ties to terrorism.

Obama was caught on video referring to "my Muslim faith."

Christians are being slaughtered throughout the Middle East, but few if any have been given refugee status in this country.

Obama attended a church whose preacher damned America.

Obama is a friend of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, Weather Underground terrorists whose terrorist group murdered police officers and bombed the Pentagon.

What more proof do you libs want?

Obama is a traitor, a friend of terrorists, and a hater of America.

Oh, wait.

That's why you like him!

Never mind....

Muslims should be kicked out of this country -- their "religion" calls for killing, converting or oppressing all non-Muslims.

The liberals, "progressives" and leftists who -- like Obama -- support Muslims are traitors who should be kicked out as well, after being stripped of their citizenship.
I have always thought if Obama was NOT a Muslim and such a Christian, why has he NOT changed his Muslim, Barack Hussein, name to something more christian like, Barry or something?

The Obamaphenomenon (there; I think I just made up a new word) is really not about Obama himself so much as it is about a decadent, materialistic and relatively successful society that has finally reached the point where it can wallow in the ultimate luxury of hating itself.

Hating itself to the point where it -- out of boredom, the search for novelty, and out of self-contempt because it is morally bankrupt -- can only find solace in embracing The Other, which Obama represents.

What is this Other?

Well, it's not American. Yes, Obama is half black, but the black half of him is not descended from American slaves, it is descended from an African communist father. The white half of him is descended from a spoiled white hippie American mother.

African commie father abandoned Obama and his hippie mom, and she wandered off to Indonesia with little Obama to immerse herself in something as foreign as possible to America.

So Obama went to a Muslim school and wore a little Muslim hat.

Then, finally, hippie mom was told by her parents that they wouldn't support her anymore unless she came back to America with Li'l Obama.

I guess hippie mom's parents had money, because the next thing you know Li'l Obama is enrolled in Hawaii's most expensive and prestigious private school.

Now, hippie mom's parents were white racists who talked and thought like Donald Trump.

But they still paid for Obama to go to the fancy private school.

Then, Obama -- even though he did drugs and slacked off in high school -- was seen as a great candidate to be admitted to Occidental College in California.

Yes, let me say this in favor of Li'l Obama. He was quite clever. And he had gone to a fancy private school. So -- in an age of affirmative action and reverse discrimination against whites -- he was JUST what elite colleges were looking for.

So he was able to transfer to Columbia, and to eventually get accepted to Harvard Law School.

Now, this brings to mind a curious fact about how elite education works in America -- and has worked all over the world from time immemorial.

I am thinking of a clever Englishman of good pedigree who was accepted by Oxford to study law. When he got to Oxford, he didn't study law, he got involved in theater. But never mind, he still was able to become a solicitor.

Well, this is pretty much what happened with Obama. Nobody at Columbia remembers him. And the undergraduate program there is very small -- somebody SHOULD have remembered him.

But never mind, what is really of interest is his academic career at Harvard, which apparently consisted of attending protests -- for which he was rewarded by being made an editor of the Law Review.

Then it was on to being a community organizer, which merited his becoming a Lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, which led to his becoming a state senator and eventually a U.S. senator.

He had a couple of books ghost written for him, made a speech written by someone else at the 2004 Democratic convention, accomplished nothing as a state or a U.S. senator, but DID accomplish the following:

Being black, being associated with Communism, being associated with Islam, being associated with Africa (why not draw from the source itself?), being associated with the Third World, and being associated with criminals and terrorists.

In other words, the PERFECT antidote for limousine liberal white guilt!

So what do we have as a result?

Blacks committing crimes and the cops afraid to go after them.

Unvetted Muslims -- many of whom are likely to be terrorists -- being let into this country.

Virtually open borders.

America being turned into the Third World.

Socialism and communism being held out as the ideals we must follow.

Law abiding Americans being disarmed.

Free speech being denied on college campuses.

What does all of this prove?

It proves that success eventually breeds failure.

It starts with well-deserved pride, followed by complacency, followed by boredom, followed by self-contempt, followed at last by a lust for failure.

Obama.

The Knowledge You Crave "Addicting Info started as a resource to discredit all the lies and propaganda that the right-wing spreads.'"

Yep, no BIAS there!Or here.

"
Now comes a study from the George Mason University Center for Media and Public Affairs that demonstrates empirically that PolitiFact.org, one of the nation's leading "fact checkers," finds that Republicans are dishonest in their claims three times as often as Democrats. "PolitiFact.com has rated Republican claims as false three times as often as Democratic claims during President Obama's second term," the Center said in a release, "despite controversies over Obama administration statements on Benghazi, the IRS and the AP."
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]

"Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama Administration," said Dr. Robert S. Lichter, head of the Center for Media and Public Affairs. "PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party."


"All of these statements and plenty more are demonstrably false, though some people still pretend there is truth in them. As the Lichter study demonstrates, it's not so much fact checkers that are needed as it is fact checkers to check the facts being checked."

What media sources do you use to deny the Obama accomplishments or to say that politifact is all lies and deceit ?Seems to me you are implying anything you dont agree with cant possibly be true..
I'll repost what you claim is all lies and deceit =
