We are not going to be stomping around the world making demands, and trying to impose our will without receiving tremendous blowback. It is unrealistic to think that we will. The majority of American wouldn't want us to force ourselves like that anyway. Obama has done a good job keeping at bay the aggressive war monger aspect of the Republican party. He gets little credit for doing this, but I recognize and appreciate it.
Here's another one that thinks we should never fight for our beliefs no matter what.
In Obumma's world, we'd have to go through a metal detector at every single building entrance. That's not the America most want to live in.

I'd recommend she work on fixing her state before going national and criticizing anything Pres Obama's administration accomplished.
I guess you missed the part of her speech where she talked about the terrorist attack in her state, and how the people of her state came together to grieve and removed a symbol of hatred under her watch. So, you are berating her for not doing something she actually did.

Cool. I hope this is an exciting one along the lines of the YOU LIE one..
Kim Davis and Obama have a lot in common. Both are public servants who feel they only have to enforce the laws they agree with.

So what you're saying is that the truth is too hard for you to accept. Much easier to slam the messenger than dispute the message.

She did look good. I wish she didn't always have such a resting face. She'd be a lot prettier if she didn't look like she was mad all the time. I really like the trend in makeup for black women that makes their faces look slightly golden. It's very pretty.

He's going full on with the theme of you might not like me, but stop screwing over the country because of it. Maybe he'll end with a mike drop.
That's one of the reasons I cannot stand the State of the Union speeches. They always have the sitting president's party cheering loudly for everything the president says while the other side looks sour and mad, even for things that are positive. I guess it's better than the way the Japanese do it by physically fighting with each other.

As for the Sputnik line, it was completely stupid in my opinion. No one denied it because you could see it with your own eyes. People deny the global warming science because the evidence for it is computer modeling that has been proven again and again to be wrong, and the scientists have been caught fudging the data. Total false equivalence.

She looked 'wonderful", its not an angry looks, this is a woman with very indepth education, sincerity and compassion's of many levels for and of society. The has the look of a woman who does not need to give pretentious facial expressions, she contains and maintains her social and public decorum always.
She looked "Stunningly Beautiful".

This. And the right wingers eat it up and never ask their reps why they don't just do it, then. They have both houses, but still blame the Democrats for "not lowering taxes"?? That is what is known as a total disconnect from reality.

The Affordable Care Act that isn't affordable.

I like gay marriage rights, but how is that attributable to Obama? The Supreme Court ruled on it.

Capturing Osama bin Laden helped, how exactly? It seems the entire region is on fire right now.

Low unemployment and high job creation. There's just the little problem with stagnating wages that makes it seem like the pits...oh, and the lowest labor participation rate in years, and the U6 unemployment numbers putting our actual unemployment somewhere around 10%.

Historic sure, legacy of a liar who made poor choices with his heel on the throat of the economy. Failed to back the iranian uprising even with words and misjudged the ME with unerring consistency. Weaponized federal agencies and suppressed the vote and current events to 'win' in 2012


A president who was kept afloat by the media not wanting the novelty election winner to look bad...for historical purposes.


historic first:


1st prez to lose Air Force 1.
