The future will remember him as that jerk-off who ruined the medical profession and led the charge in making 5 generations debt slaves.

Unless he wins a second term...then things are going to take a turn for the worse.

The future will remember him because he is a mulatto.

There is nothing else to note; no accomplishments, and they’ll paint his entire failed tenure as the work of George W. Bush.

But one thing we can say for certain is that the future will not belong to broke losers. You’re the brokest guy in the room, you’re the president of Brokistan. You’ve got to pay back $16 trillion just to get back to having nothing, nada, zip. Who the hell are you to tell us who the future’s going to belong to?

The relevant passage...

I hope Mark subs for Rush once before the election, because it's the only way more than a dozen people will learn of this. Rush sure hasn't mentioned it.

Even more extraordinary, on September 14, fewer than two-dozen inbred, illiterate goatherds pulled off the biggest single destruction of U.S. airpower since the Tet Offensive in 1968, breaking into Camp Bastion (an unfortunate choice of name) in Afghanistan, killing Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Raible, and blowing up a squadron’s worth of Harriers.

I guess the thing that galls me the most is when he said that under his presidency the oceans would stop their rise!

Good grief! His worshipers cheered and he basked in their love.

Made me sick to my stomach!

One cannot expect more thought process from a whole segment of American society who place more value in their FREE OBAMA PHONES than they do in their sexual liasons.

Otherwise—how would Maury Povich have his show for years? Some of those teen age girls were on that show 12 times in 5 years trying to find their “baby daddy”!!!!

Who sits outside a shoe store, sleeping on the sidewalk for days, waiting for a new pair of $200 sneakers? Blacks who have a stronger connection to welfare & Section 8 housing than the working segments of the USA population. Who mobs a store at midnight when 60” TV’s are on sale? Welfare recipients. The rest of us are working. The rest of us are paying our OWN bills! The rest of us pay for our own kids school LUNCHES! We pay for our OWN legal fees!!

When you are totally raised in a multigeneration system of handouts of all kinds, you can never learn self-reliance, self-respect, or self-determination.....

LBJ started this nurturing of such a segment of our population, but Obama is finding ways to certainly put the frosting on it all, openly placing a higher value on those with darker skin color than those who produce the food & housing that those on welfare use in abundance.

We need to boot Obama out, but we also need to re-qualify every single person who is living off the public trough, black or white or Hispanic. The fraud is rampant, and whites are doing their share of the damage to the public trough debt, also, learning how to scam from the examples of scammers they have had to witness for over 50 years.

None of them have a conscience. They think it is all ‘owed’ to them. They will continue to vote for “The GREAT PROVIDER”—Barack Hussein Obama—because they think he is their year round, lifetime Santa Claus.

This country needs a RESET button.

Yes I agree. Blacks have been mistreated over the years but equally bad is the narrative that some of them have been fed.

Too many of them have been told that they don't have a chance to make anything of themselves so the government handout is what they expect.

Wonder how they think Condi Rice and others like her have made a success of themselves?

I would have thought a black president would inspire them to try to get out of the ditch but all it has done is get more goodies from Uncle Gov. I hope I am wrong about that.

The Chinese Politburo get it, Czar Putin in the Kremlin gets it, and even the nutters doing the “Death to the Great Satan!” dance on the streets of Cairo and Lahore get it. On November 6, we will find out whether the American people do.

A half century of Godless government schooling has taken its toll on the literacy of two generations of American voters. God, please save us from ourselves.
