Exactly. This thread is about emotional tirades from the more zealous members of the right.

Marketing. I've been working for nearly 15 years at my job, in the same company. I've gotten raises each year, and got better health coverage when the company sought out better deals and coverage. We just recently got a better health plan at the beginning of this year.

Maybe you should consider in getting a better job, and work for a company that actually cares for the well being of their employees instead of just looking to make bigger profits.

Or change your profession to something that is in high in demand.

#2, Just because your company did not "cite" the obamacare does not mean it wasn't the reason. Not a strike but a base hit.
That is YOUR opinion. NOT a FACT. YOu said "FACT", and shown to be, not a fact, so my strike still stands.

Your drunk ump strike 3 needs to refer to my first response.
Homerun.
Wrong again, YOU have not posted any facts. YOu posted just opinions. Those are your own. doesn't apply to everyone. So again, your Strike OUT still stands.

You are simply the sore loser baseball player now arguing with the umpire.

A pandering, listless, petulant, buffoon who has led from the back of the pack his entire Presidency.

How unfortunate we are. Barack Obama was poised to be one of the great President's of our nation, and instead he will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the worst.

What a crying shame.
Your "shame" doesn't compare to Dubya sending in troops into IRAQ and "murdering" 4500 of our troops for a "LIE" like "WMDS! Not to mention the untold thousands of Iraquis he killed in the process!

Lest you forget President Obama didn't start these wars in IRAQ & Afghanistan but the "Cheney "cabal and Halliburton did!

President Obama ended TWO Wars that the Neo-Cons started with Cheney and Halliburton for War profits! Should we mention Dubya's Grandfather? Prescott Bush who aided the Nazis during WW2?

"Greatest President? Yeah like I am sure you voted for Barack Hussien Obama!

I am not ashamed of President Obama. He has proven without a doubt that anyone can become president. That is anyone the 2 major parties approve of.
I am ashamed that the he was the best that either party could come up with. I am ashamed that we the people tolerate the monopoly of the 2 major parties. I am ashamed that voters put party before country.

The real opportunity was in 2001 when the US experienced one of it's largest tragedies. Democrats, Republicans and others came together and politics was put aside, it could have been a great moment but instead we were into other tragedies by an incompetent president. The office in 2008 was a losing situation for any president, the world is quite different than when others took office.

The Bold is exactly my point, You are one of the many people defining Objective as that way. Your first critique of that proves it. You have a majority conservative supreme court and in 5 years they have not so much as hinted at his activities of being unconstitutional, Yet here you are claiming they are.


Bypass congress is in and of itself, a subjective term, If the constitution allows it in the situations you are presumably mentioning then what is your problem ? Your argument about Liberals and Bush makes no sense because President Bush signed more executive Orders than President Obama has to this point. That specifically shows that you are not being Objective.

President Bush is the one who created PRISM and even said he was proud of it, yet here you are attacking President Obama for it, yep sounds objective to me, same goes for the Patriot act. The only part of it that was expanded was written by the Republicans in the House of Representatives and President Obama added a signing statement saying his Administration would not use that provision of the law.

President Obama has not gone after anyone for being objective, you are deliberately lying now. The Administration went after journalist who printed classified information. In case you did not know it, obtaining classified information illegal.

Obama is not just a bad president, he is a bad human being.
