Obama won Iowa and Ohio in 2008.

If I hadn't know the Downfall of America was Obama's goal I'd have called him a "glass half-empty" kind of guy.

It was Joseph Pulitzer who stated, "Our Republic and its Press will Rise or Fall Together".

It's on a 3-cent US postage stamp. :-/

I want an “Americans ‘fall and rise together as one nation,’ kind of President. His statement “Americans ‘rise and fall together as one nation,’” is VERY telling.

Obama is correct. We need to rise up as a nation and throw Obama out of office, or we will fall.

Such comfort! How many nights has he slept in Chicago since he became President?

Thing is America isn’t one nation now, it is balkanized almost to the breaking point. Obama has made the situation drastically worse and seems Hellbent on further damage.

Not really. I was born in Manhattan. I grew up on Long Island. And I've lived at my present address in NJ for more years than any other address I've had. My children were raised here. This is my home.

I don't think George Bush was born in Crawford, Texas, nor Ronald Reagan in Santa Barbara, but those were their homes.

Yes, he’s back in the neighborhood and there are a bazillion cops everywhere. I pulled around a barricade and waved one over and asked how I was supposed to get to my house. He asked the street and then waved me through. I hope when Barry’s defeated he goes to Hawaii and leaves us alone.

Then someone needs to deploy the chute because the press is definitely taking down the Republic. But that’s what you meant.
