Funny, the poster works for Obama.
If the poster had any integrity, he'd quit his job.
He seems to have enough time to post during work hours, yet talks about laziness and integrity of others.

He was never AWOL. He received an honorable discharge with the rank of 1st Lt.

He made up any time he missed in the Texas National Guard. If fact, he put in slightly more hours than was required.

All his policies failed.

Real unemployment and underemployment have not significantly improved, but millions have stopped looking and run out of unemployment compensation. Unemployment rate falls for all the wrong reasons - Apr. 5, 2013, Unemployment Rate Down As Americans Give Up On Work - Forbes

Obama's only solution to unemployment is increasing (taxpayer-subsidized) education, which does not work. Education is Not the Cure for High Unemployment or for Income Inequality | Economic Policy Institute

Taxes are going up over $1 trillion in Obama's 2013 budget, not counting Obamacare's tax increases. Obama's Budget: $1.009 Trillion in Net Tax Increases | National Review Online

Obama's $1 trillion tax increases are going to hit the Middle Class and lower classes, not just "the rich." Taxes: President Obama's budget would hit middle class - Steven Sloan - POLITICO.com

Obama takes decreases in Defense spending (due to wars winding down) and simply spends the money on other government programs. Obama's "Deficit Reduction" Budget Is Almost All Tax Hikes - Kevin Glass

Even with all the tax increases, the "coming tsunami of entitlement spending" is totally ignored in Obama's budget. Obama's "Deficit Reduction" Budget Is Almost All Tax Hikes - Kevin Glass

Obama's signature legislation, Obamacare, is going to cost $1.8 trillion over the next 10 years. http://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/fil...Coverage_2.pdf

Obamacare has caused health care costs to INCREASE dramatically in the three years since approval, and costs are expected to keep rising. McConnell says rising healthcare costs show GOP was right about 'Obamacare' - The Hill's Floor Action The Society of Actuaries predicts another 32% increase, on average, just due to Obamacare (and even if made up with subsidies, the taxpayer will then be paying the increase). Study: Obamacare to raise individual claim costs by 32 percent | The Daily Caller

The CBO estimates 3 to 5 million Americans will lose their employer-provided insurance due to Obamacare over the next 10 years. http://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/fil...0Estimates.pdf By 2023, the CBO expects 7 million will have lost their employer-provided insurance. CBO: Obamacare in its First Decade Will Cost Double What the President Promised | TheBlaze.com

Former CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin estimated in a study for the American Action Forum that more than 40 million workers would lose their employer coverage due to Obamacare. Look Out Below, The Obamacare Chaos Is Coming - Forbes

CBO now expects the Medicaid expansion to cover an additional 13 million people by 2023, while "almost half of Obamacare is paid for over the next decade by draining $716 billion out of Medicare." Look Out Below, The Obamacare Chaos Is Coming - Forbes. CBO: Obamacare in its First Decade Will Cost Double What the President Promised | TheBlaze.com

Obamacare continues to cause a shift to part-time work. Gallup: Part-Time Workforce Surges Ahead Of ObamaCare Mandate - Investors.com

Obamacare is already killing job growth, and causing significant job loss, in companies with 50-499 employees. One economist notes: “Those companies with employees (totaling between) 50 to 499 — that’s the group that would be affected by the health care reform — we’ve seen a rather sharp slowing in job creation. Forty-three thousand in January; 20,000 in February; and minus-5,000 in March... In other words, not only did job growth completely stop beginning in March, but an additional 5,000 jobs were eliminated during the same month.” http://www.naturalnews.com/040013_Ob...mployment.html


As to what would actually work to improve the economy?
--Massive cuts in Washington's wasteful spending, including Defense, foreign aid, NASA, HUD, Homeland Security, and countless other federal spending that the average American will never even hear about, let alone benefit from.
--Abandon our corrupt IRS and the unConstitutional income tax system that burdens the working class with massive Big Government that cares about nothing but pandering to the ultra-rich, and switch to a consumption-based or VAT tax.

Does anyone sane person really expect an intelligent post from someone whose biggest accomplishment is the skin tone he had absolutely nothing to do with????

Just take a look at the tone and calibre of his posts, nothing more than rehashed stormfront drivel..

People get paid to seed blogs and internet forums with this sort of drivel all the time and it's not limited to politics. They do it because a heck of a lot of people will believe anything if it affirms their convictions.

No President in modern history has released his academic records nor are they required to do so.

We do know Obama's grades from Harvard Law School were in the top 10% because it was reported at the time ( 1991) when he graduated with academic honors ( Magna *** Laude). He was also the editor of the Harvard Law Review.

You're not eligible for latin honors if you only spend two years at Columbia. I'd go on to debunk the rest as well, but that's been done of this board about a million times. I'm not patient with slow learners.
