    I consider him to be more than a failure. He has tried anything and everything to harm America.

    Obama's legacy isn't looking so hot — at least according to what respondents told a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday morning. The poll found a 52% majority of Americans believe Obama's presidency is, on a balance, a "failure," compared to 42% who believe it to be a success. Those on the "failure" side were far more likely to have said they "strongly" held that belief.
    A full 56% said they disapproved of the way he has been handling international affairs, while 54% disapprove of his handling of the economy. Overall, 65% said the country is on the "wrong track."
    The new numbers come as the White House juggles multiple international crises in Ukraine, Iraq, and Israel, and as Obama struggles to push his legislative agenda past a polarized Congress. Just last weekend, Obama abandoned his plans for major executive action to alter U.S. immigration policies in the face of steep Republican opposition.
    The poll went into the field before Obama's announced the executive-action delay, but it still found 59% of respondents voicing disapproval of how he's been handling the immigration issue.

    It’s hard to think of a president that has been more of an epic failure than Obama. Even Carter is glad this guy came along, so at least he knows he is no longer the worst president ever!

    Obama_egg.jpg Congress-bashing is a popular pastime among liberal Democrats desperate to deflect attention from President Barack Obama’s conspicuous failures.


    One Daily News reader’s highly-risible letter blamed them on “the Republican/tea-party/do-nothing Congress.”

    It’s hysterical — in every sense of the word — that he attributed the president’s inadequacies to House “tea party” Republicans who comprise only about one-tenth of one-half of one-third of the government — especially since, for two years beginning in January 2009, Democrats held the presidency and majorities in both congressional chambers.


    The letter more fully alleged: “Contempt should be reserved for the Republican/tea-party/do-nothing Congress, whose stated goal was to make Obama fail. And they did! Not to mention their failure to act in the interest of the nation as whole. Which they also did.”

    The writer’s account is comical on two levels — and correct only on the latter: Not only did he laughably attempt to reassign responsibility for Obama’s failures, he conceded that Obama has, indeed, failed.

    The writer added: “May this nation be protected from bigots.”

    Amen! But who is it?
    While labeling others “haters,” he condescendingly expressed his loathing for total strangers who only disagree with him. In an incandescent display of intellectual vacuity and ideological bigotry, the writer instructed one to “Get lost.”

    Rationally, liberals lamenting congressional inaction would first consider what congressional Democrats failed to enact during their unobstructed years, 2009-10, and then examine the past three years of Senate paralysis.

    The House is working.
    Even though half passed without opposition, 98 percent passed with bipartisan support and 55 were introduced by Democrats, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is blocking 352 House-passed bills.

    Fifteen would improve Department of Veterans Affairs services; 16 affect energy; seven would simplify the tax code; 30 address government spending; 40-plus are job-related. Reid is blocking a bill authorizing construction of the union-supported Keystone Pipeline. These bills have positive implications for Americans, jobs and the economy.

    On Aug. 1, House Republicans overcame internal divisions and passed a bill to feed and house unaccompanied, underage illegal immigrants flooding America’s southern border.

    While providing for their humanitarian needs, the House bill included publicly popular measures to accelerate the safe repatriation of illegal children and deploy National Guard troops to secure the border.

    Reid’s Senate adjourned for summer recess without considering it or passing an alternative.

    Yet, while the Senate left town, and although funds to care for juvenile aliens will be exhausted before Congress reconvenes, by castigating the House for passing its border funding bill, liberal Democrats inform Americans that their demagoguery trumps even children’s needs

    Reid is a primary reason Democrats will lose the Senate this year. Enough voters understand a vote for any Democratic Senate candidate is a vote for Reid — and gridlock.

    As desperately as liberals desire it, changing the subject won’t change that outcome.

    More and more have come to see the POSUS for what he is.

    As he seeks to rally Americans behind a new military campaign in the Middle East, Mr. Obama finds his own past statements coming back to haunt him. Time and again, he has expressed assessments of the world that in the harsh glare of hindsight look out of kilter with the changed reality he now confronts.


    In making his speech, Mr. Obama faces the challenge of reconciling those views with the new mission he is presenting to the American public to recommit the armed forces of the United States to the region he tried to leave. Rather than a junior varsity nuisance, he will try to convince Americans that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria represents a clear threat to national security in a state that is hardly stable. And he will seek to win patience for more war from a public that wishes it really was receding.


    To Mr. Obama’s critics, the disparity between the president’s previous statements and today’s reality reflects not simply poorly chosen words but a fundamentally misguided view of the world. Rather than clearly see the persistent dangers as the United States approaches the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, they said, Mr. Obama perpetually imagines a world as he wishes it were.


    “I don’t think it is just loose talk, I think it’s actually revealing talk,” said Peter H. Wehner, a former adviser to President George W. Bush now at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. “Sometimes words are mistakes; they’re just poorly put. But sometimes they’re a manifestation of one’s deep belief in the world and that’s what you really get with President Obama.”

    I thought he peaked as a failed community organizer who shifted to corrupt Illinois politics. Would some liberal explain what he did to win a Nobel Peace Prize?

    He was the right color and the right political philosophy for the Nobel Committee

    Lets be honest here. The general public aren't blind sheep but they aren't exactly political science majors either. Obama won over voters because he is a very good speech giver and he looks different than the other Presidents we've ever had. He was also a Democrat and after what Bush Jr did the country wanted a change. He was pretty much in a goldilocks zone when he ran.

    Now Im not saying the general public is stupid by any means but most people aren't very well educated on actual political affairs and world matters. Hell half the people out there vote for "their" party every time no matter what. Politics just isn't a big thing to most people, there have even been multiple threads on this forum discussing that. Most people don't realize that its probably not a good idea to hire somebody to run the most powerful nation in history who has such low credentials.

    I always laugh when I see people being "shocked" that the President is screwing up so much. I mean seriously what did people expect? I've said this before but this is seriously like taking the head cashier of a local store and making them the CEO of the entire conglomerate then being surprised when the company fails. The guy just wasn't qualified to do this but he was "different" and that was more than enough for some people to simply look past his half page resume and hire him anyway.

    This would be like promoting me to 4 Star General in charge of the entire US force in our next war then being mad at me when we get destroyed because I have no idea how to run an entire Army.

    Unfortunately for the leftists, the population isn't as stupid as they had hoped.

    "President Barack Obama's legacy isn't looking so hot — at least according to what respondents told a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday morning.

Those on the "failure" side were far more likely to have said they "strongly" held that belief."

    You can look for evidence of this failure with Democrat politicians in the next few months. "Obama? Who?"

    "Obamacare? Never heard of it."
    "He the holy hell invited all these teenaged Mexicans up here?"
    "Where did all the money go?"
    "There has been no scandal involving the IRS, NSA, DOJ, ATF, State Department or the White House."

    And now to help his ratings , Obama , Ried ,Pelosi and Soros will suddenly find religion and start the major bombing . He didn't care about the heads being cut off at the time but after poor ratings his group of anti - American advisors came up with the following scenario to help the Democrats in November. Delay the amnesty vote until after the elections ,let's look good with the bombings until November and see if we can sway the vote and his dismal ratings . The media is all in and hi lemmings are sure to follow. But be careful in November because either way he stops bombing his Muslim buds and he will make the illegals legal . Screwing the American worker . And the beat goes on !
    Wake up citizens , none of these politicians are your friends.
