I have yet to see an entire party's delegation blatantly say that they want the President to fail and then do things that hurt the country just because they hate the President - or more specifically, who he is. That happened to one President in our history - and it happened to be the one who is sitting in the White House now.

Here's the thing..... If you show up with your arm hanging off to the ER they can't refuse you because you have no money. So now you must convince the country to turn people away from hospitals. Good luck with that.

Women and Africans Americans didn't have the right to vote so spare me your "healthcare is not a right" BS. We decide what we want to become rights as a country.

So how many other president's were filibustered as much as Obama? Or just admit Republicans have been historically obstructionists under Obama....

We just try to get our paragraph right.” For Presidents' Day, Politico Magazine asked a panel of distinguished historians to take up the obvious question this raises: How will Obama’s paragraph read? Did he get it right? What will be his place in history? Here’s what they told us, with some smart framing thoughts from Stephen Sestanovich, a scholar at the Council on Foreign Relations and Columbia University:"

Barack Obama?s Paragraph - Politico Magazine - POLITICO Magazine

Sorry libs.....Barack Obama just wasn't Mr. Hope and Change after all. Even the far left historians from the nation's elite universities won't give him much more than a mediocre ranking after 6 years........which is astonishing considering what they expected he would be able to accomplish being a well-spoken man of high ambition and even higher rhetoric.

It just didn't work out as planned. A lost opportunity for the first black President, indeed.
I need another rum and coke if I'm going to digest this much stupid.

Let us know when you call up the editors of Politico and air your grievances for their choice of stories. :/
