After 6 months of Obama it was obvious he wasn't cut out for any aspect of the job. He should have remained at the YMCA or in some community organizer capacity. After that, I never bothered with the guy. He's a liberal elitist globalist. Thats the last thing America needs.

Kinda silly, that.
If the people around me are choking and gagging, there is no reason for me to take a bite.

You didn't miss much. If he disagreed with something he would say that it was "against American values" or "against our core values" or something like that. That saved him the trouble of putting together a real argument. In recent years he made quite a few comments about race, just the standard left-wing line, nothing even faintly original or that we hadn't heard 789,984,987 times before.

Can't a deaf person have an opinion?

They might be choking and gagging but until I take a bite for myself I'll never know if it's just a matter of personal taste that makes them choke and gag. If I make decisions based on what others like, I'll never learn for myself.

I could finally stand to listen to him after Trump won the election. Then he would say something like, "That's not who we are." And that was not who he was. He was a racist pig against law and order. But that is not who I am. He still doesn't have a clue who real Americans are. I don't think he knows many really loyal Americans. With his closed mind he will never have a clue what loving America and putting America first is. People who voted for Trump love our country.

I don't expect everything that happens in the next four years to all be advantageous to me and my family but I do expect it to be what is best for America. Obama came close to destroying our republic but threads of it are still here and sacrifice is the only thing that will save it. We really need to get rid of the criminal element though and if that includes "dreamers" so-be-it.

I'll join with countless others who were puzzled by the "Great Orator" title. I never thought he was much of a public speaker.
And I hated the way he constantly chided the opposition, always claiming his "door was open" when we all knew it was not.
Obama's cabinet was packed with academic theorists and mediocre politicians and I surely won't miss that. Tim Geithner (who didn't know he was self employed!), Sebelius, La Hood, Rahm Emanuel, John Kerry, Holder, Lynch, and for some reason Valerie Jarret... Good by and good riddance.

I actually liked George Bush. But he made mistakes and it cost the world dearly. Bush's mistakes were exacerbated by Obama's mistakes.

Today an Air Force B-52 visited some ISIS members. Most of those members will not be able to write home about it, though, and neither were their friends who were visited yesterday by 2 B-2's.
Sounds like USA is back in business.

BTW: The B-2 has not been used for anything serious since 2011. It was probably used this week because the Russian aircraft carrier was in the area. The message is real clear now; "The US can fly our stealth bombers right over you and you will never know. You may want to keep that in mind."

Valerie Jarrett worked for Chicago Mayor Harold Washington and then was Deputy Chief of Staff for Mayor Daley. She hired Michelle Robinson, who was engaged to Barack Obama. Politics, Chicago style.
