All of us make mistakes. However, the people who surround this President are fond of telling us that he is the smartest man in the room. It is glaringly obvious he is not.

The more I see him speak, the more the lack of imagination or creativity in his though process is becoming obvious.

What we have is what should have been a mid level government employee in the Oval Office.

Don't act ignorant. His college records aren't "sealed". Its illegal under federal law for a college to give out a students records without their written consent. No president has ever agreed to release their college records. I know you're thinking, but Bush did! Nope he did not-someone illegally released them.

Actually, the economy finished tanking under the Dems when they took over both houses of Congress under Reid and Pelosi in 1996. President Bush asked Congress over and over to address issues that would have prohibited the economy crash from happening, but, unfortunately, in addition to the Dem takeover in 1996, from the day President Bush was elected the Republicans had only a very slight majority in the Senate and the Dems would filibuster or threaten same to stop any of the corrections requested by President Bush. You should go into the C-SPAN files and pull up the ridiculous defending of "everything is just fine...we do not need to do anything Bush is addressing" or words to that effect. Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and several others were totally ignorant in defending "everything is okay." So, if you want to get right down to the facts, it has been the Dems stopping everything that could have kept our economy up and going.

Outside of the healthcare reform that was passed (based on a conservative plan from the 90's by the way) there's little that he did that either McCain or Romney would have done differently.

Conservatives that don't know what they're talking about make the rest of us look bad.
Really! What "conservative" health-care plan from the 90's...I thought that was Hillary Care and was certainly not conservative. No Republican voted for Obama Care (aka, Affordable Care Act...which it is certainly not affordable except to those who get it for free at the cost to all the rest of us paying not only ours but all the freebies, too). This ACA is horrible, will destroy America and needs to be rescinded as soon as possible before it does more damage to those of us who have to pay for it, not only in increase in our premiums but also in all the job losses it has cause and the disastrous impact on our economy.

No "ignorance" involved, just to clarify you don't know me at all! Anyone who thinks they are as smart as BO thinks he is should be proud to release the records. He has lied, covered up and broken so many laws and our Constitution maybe it's time to see what he really is??

Don't need to see his records to understand what he is, and what he certainly is not.

Seeing his records will not make him a stand up person period.

He will continue to be who he is, a bully, someone who pretends so often to not know the full scope of an investigation or scandal. Who believes that crap.

He needs to blame not one person for his mishaps, expect his own self.

I guess his education in one of our "57 states" didn't cover the dates of moon landings.

And people say Republicans can't win in the future......
Do you even think he does his own tweets?

Probably just another incompetent that Obama seems to surround himself with in this
administration. Maybe Susan Rice posted it She always gets her information wrong....

And you have not met any lawyers who were idiots? Keep in mind that he is a product of affirmative action and is a self proclaimed "poor student". I will stand by my initial contention.

There once was a man(?) named Barack
'twas truly as dumb as a rock
He said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin
"At least I've still got my flock!"
