Seriously, in 2014 Americans are still taking the politicians that hardly pretend to represent them with an honest faith?

I'd like to think there is a message coming through the WiFi or the cell towers. It would at least make for an easy explanation.

But then again, it also seems like he focused all his early energy on Obamacare and didn't really attend to the more damaging problems out there. Obamacare doesn't even really tackle the main problem of the healthcare system which is the bloated financial charges to patients.

I also don't think America has ever appeared so weak on the worldwide stage as it does now under Obama. Bush managed to get a large collation of nations to go along with us to Iraq. Something Obama could never do.


Well stated.

The apology tour was the first real clue we had that Obama had no clue. He just came off looking like the idiot he was about to grow into.

He was so obsessed with his legacy that he began to discuss it early on -- WAY TOO EARLY, to be exact. He even lied about the details surrounding his own mother's death to push Obamacare, after having lied about how transparent he was going to be, how the Obamacare discussions would be on C-Span, blah, blah, blah.

The job of being president requires that you put on your big boy pants. Unfortunately, BarackO The Whackoâ„¢ doesn't own a pair of those.

Since when has President and the word truth ever been a symbiotic relationship . Let me harken back to another one. "Read my lips, no new taxes. So, cool story bro.

I'm not a liberal. LOL you are blaming liberals for electing the candidate of their choice. Sorry, you need to do a better job of electing your candidate. This is too funny, blaming others for your own fault.

Therein lies the problem: Both sides are running to extremes these days. Both parties have managed to make themselves completely useless in my opinion. The squabble like toddlers fighting over the same toy. They're too busy bickering to actually get anything done. On both sides, the word "compromise" has become a huge taboo. Both sides want it their way or not at all, therefore nothing gets done -- and both sides are equally to blame.

Yes, both sides are equally to blame. We have suffered so much because there is no compromise. So what is the solution. I'm at a loss.

My solution = fire both parties. The American people can do so, but they're so used to the two party system that I don't think they ever will. We'll just keep running in this clown car until it goes off a cliff.
