Sounds like another one of King Obama's "trial balloons" where his minions leak to the media his latest anti-American intentions and then they sit back and wait to see how the public reacts.

He cannot change or erase a guaranteed Consitutional right by pen and phone alone and he knows it.

Helped them to do what exactly? Lose the insurance they already had and forced to pay into a more expensive/less convenient plan in order to cover all the illegals Obama's allowed to swarm into this country?

It doesn't violate any constitutional laws, you are incorrect.

Obama probably doesn't. But the states certainly do, as does Congress.
Many folks who obtain DWI's are multiple offenders-I'm just saying........

In Feb 2009, just after Obama was sworn in, then in October 2015:

# of people with no health insurance: 16.1%, 9.0%

US national unemployment rate: 8.9%, 5.0%

US Stock Market: 7,365, 17,910

Annual Deficit: -1,400 Billion, -426 Billion

GDP Growth: -2.8%, 3.7%

Consumer Confidence: 25.3, 97.6

Combat Troops Deployed: 186,300, 9,937


You're right though, not one blasted thing has improved--both consumers and corporations are just so much worse off since he's been in there!

this I will overall agree with.
ps, please learn what apostrophes are used for.


it is odd you like throwing the blame game around.
every president since Truman has made the ME a worse place due to short-sighted thinking


Putin is like a "mad scientist". There is no reason to necessarily want good relations with him at all costs.


<snip>


So if the economy got worse, you wouldn't give him any blame, right?

patently false by any serious metric.

in an economy that is driven by consumer and government spending, this is an insane assertion.
extending food stamps, UI, tax breaks, etc kept the economy recovering.

no it hasn't.

LOL....just goes to show what type of crowd we're dealing with here....real rocket scientists....

Executive Orders
Not the quantity but the content that matters. Obama is overstepping his office. He's pushing to eliminate Congress and investing all power in the Executive Branch. Clear to see his intention. If Hillary goes to jail, he'll push for a third term for himself.

There are so many loop holes in the sale of guns. Gun shows, the internet, the no fly list are lacking in oversight.

It is so heart wrenching to see so many innocent people shot and killed and seriously wounded. I live in Colorado and have seen the violence since Columbine.

Now, last fall, in Colorado Springs, we had violent shooters, within a month. One on Halloween MORNING and the other at the Planned Parenthood location on the day after Thanksgiving. Both of those shootings, were within miles of where I live. More innocent lives lost.

Sure, it's idiots that don't know what else to do with their lives, so they cause harm, havoc and pain to everyone. Big shots, with big guns. When will it end?

There are laws for driving a car. There are still deaths. What would it be like if there were no laws for driving?

Some sensible responsibility is needed.

I'm baffled that anyone would be upset over tighter gun laws. Not like you guys are suddenly gonna lose rights to your precious guns. @_@

Geez, it seems like people here will criticize anything the Obamas do for the sake of it.

What's the problem? You righties have to make something out of anything Obama does. We need common sense gun laws. What is wrong with that? Republicans are owned by the NRA. Don't expect anything meaningful from them.......

Well, since I have asked this question before and everyone with those common sense gun laws seem to run from from this question, maybe you can provide the answer, so here, again:

What common sense gun laws would have stopped those 14 from being killed in CA?

GO ahead....I'll wait....I've been waiting a long time anyway....what a few more hours or days.....
