Yep, "take a pill".

Obama is the able bodied welfare president and they love him for it. Why wouldn't you, if you are getting handouts. They don't give a damn who worked for that money either. Just gimme, gimme, gimme.

I have suffered spiritually, with suppression of the 1st Amendment.
I have suffered Constitutionally, with the constant attacks on my 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th amendments.

And a large chunk of old white people despised Obama from the start; not for anything that he did, but for what they thought he represented.

Unless you measure success by entitlements, most people succeed despite the government not because of it.

So there's two reasons...
Obama RETURNED $150 billion +/- of Iran's money, most of which was used to pay their debts.

Of the 19 9/11 hijackers, 15 had Saudi passports and none were fron Iran.

Congress had already approved money to Palestine.

I wish the US would cease giving our money to any country, including Israel.

The primary cause of the housing crisis was that the independent credit rating agencies rated junk as AAA, investment grade, and in doing so opened the pipeline for funding sub prime mortgages by the most conservative sources that are required by law to invest in only the highest rated investments.

Had these private label securities been appropriately rated by the Independent credit rating agencies, Wall Street could not have sold them to public and private pension plans, retirement funds and insurance companies and thus there would not have been a source to fund sub prime mortgages.

As the bubble inflated FNMA/ FHLMC lost market share because the mortgages did not meet their standards.

The SEC made an already bad situation worse when it relaxed Net Capital rules for the only the fab five, Lehman, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

The housing bubble was non partisan, driven by greed of the masses. For a blip in time so many, too many were making a ton of money to ponder the consequences.

I take full responsibility for myself.

I choose not to attribute my outcomes, good, bad or otherwise to any presidential administration.

So if you're allowed to say you hate Obama for increasing your healthcare costs....

As a US military veteran that knows 4 people who died in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, is it okay to say that I hate Bush 2 and I think he's a piece of **** for starting unnecessary wars?

And yes, I'm a tree-hugging liberal that served. In case conservatives don't think that ever happens.
