For Barack Obama, 2014 could hardly have been worse (Not to mention America!)
Washington Times ^ | 12/25/2014 | Donald Lambro

Posted on 12/28/2014 4:46:11 AM PST by HomerBohn

A Gallup poll reported this week that only 23 percent of Americans surveyed each month “were satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S.”

-snip-

The government throws many numbers into the GDP basket — things like federal, state and local government spending, exports and various investment expenditures.

The sharply higher GDP number was largely the result of faster consumption — 3.2 percent versus 2.2 percent — despite flat or falling incomes.

That’s why Paul Dales of Capital Economics warns that even though the GDP number looks rosy, it suggests that households have had to dip into their savings to boost spending. That can last only so long.

-snip-

Mr. Obama was swept into office promising an era of smart government. Instead, his administration has turned into a breeding ground of badly mismanaged bureaucracies and dysfunctional programs run by political hacks and worse.

In 2012, he campaigned on a myth that al Qaeda had been “decimated” and was “on the run.” In fact, they were metastasizing into larger and better-funded armies of the Islamic State that went on a blood-soaked rampage in the Middle East — seizing large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria and beheading American hostages with impunity.

Mr. Obama’s policy was rapid withdrawal from the war on terrorism and little else, leaving behind a huge vacuum into which the Islamic State sent tens of thousands of terrorists to slaughter untold numbers of noncombatants in an all-out blitzkrieg to destabilize the Middle East.

But rest assured, gentle reader, Mr. Obama is said to be on top of it all as he hits the golf courses, beaches and luaus of Hawaii, hoping that 2015 will be a better year.

Don’t bet on it.

Although the mid-terms indicated that the majority of Americans want the agenda to move to the right, Boner and McConnell will continue to cozy up to the parasitic Obama. After all, they consider their electedposts to be a lifetime career.

Why wouldn't one be skeptical of a regime who has the likes of Al Sharpton trotting into the White Hut over eighty times? The two Republicrat leaders want to just get along with their diminished opposition and even accommodate them to the further detriment of our now pitiful nation.

There is a very simple solution:

Bring back American jobs.

The piutred feckless, ball less, traitorous GOP cannot believe that thier actions in the next two years will bring them victory in 2016 with a rino president could they? We all know how this is going to go, "the American people want a government that works for the people" is the scam phrase while they green light and fund everything the imposter puts before them.

DONALD LAMBRO/WASHINGTON TIMES EDITED EXCERPT--The Midterm Progressive Rout---Obama Humiliated at the polls The day after a resounding rebuke of everything he stands for, Obama (seething w/ hatred) made it clear that he doesn’t care.....a progressive President with nothing to lose. While his cockamamie policies have gifted Republicans from an electoral standpoint, Obama still has his magic pen and phone and his unmitigated contempt for constitutional limits placed on his office.

The loud and clear Nov 2014 message delivered by Americans to their govt: "The people have spoken."

As Kurt Schlichter opined ....."let's understand that our real goal is to destroy everything Obama stands for – his lies, elitism, the quasi-fascist dream of controlling every aspect of other people’s lives. This is the time to strike. Our enemies are on the run.....the military knows that you defeat the enemy in detail during a rout. Let's hunt them down. Let's finish off progressivism. And let's do it by not being stupid......."

I'll drink to that.

Obama had a bad year?

He played lots of golf.

He went on lots of taxpayer funded vacations.

He got his wife out of the house on other, taxpayer funded vacations.

Sounds like Obama had a GREAT year. It's all the little people in America who had a bad year. Do you really think he cares?

Ask yourself these questions:

  1. Did Reggie dump the loser for another man?

  2. Did he get cut off from his stash for more than 12-hours at one time?

  3. Did he ever have to do a productive job with measurable output?

  4. Was he held accountable for the unborn babies he has murdered, the wars he has started, or lives he has ruined?

  5. Was he forced to confront his amoral, godless persona?

If the answer to any of these questions is YES, then 2014 could have indeed been much worse for the poor sap!

If you want to get nauseous, just think:

We still got ALLLLL of 2015 left with him in office.

Just try to visualize that - another entire looong year, January to December AGAIN.

Got that in your mind?

OK.

When that year is over, we still have ALLLL of 2016.

You can now puke.

You keep spouting this line, like it is true. But, you have been shown multiple times that it is NOT a simple solution!

Wake up and smell the coffee!! No person, patriotic or not, is going to WASTE money on mass American manufacturing, until the US government gets off their backs! Regardless of what you say or believe, throwing away money is not patriotic nor heroic - it just feeds the government beast!

Just heard F. Chuck Todd on MSwhatever. He said the White House is “energized” because Obama wasn’t at fault for the fall election debacle. Obama reasons that the Dems lost because they DIDN’T ask him to campaign!

Until now, I thought the claim of his Narcissism was an exaggeration. Now I believe the man to be truly delusional.

I believe that FR has the single largest proportion of truly patriotic Americans anywhere.

Except on the issue of trade.

On trade, we are completely asleep.

Totally.

America will soon owe 18 trillion dollars. And rapidly growing.

It was a wonderful year for Clown Prince nobama. His degenerate "transformation" of America continues apace. Aided and abetted by the feckless, flaccid repubs who are co-conspirators. To top it off, Clown Prince nobama, the Worst Lady and their grifter family get everything free at our expense. Everything their rotton hearts desire.

Stop spamming FR with this simple-minded crap! There are many underlying reasons why jobs go overseas - high corporate taxes, labor and environmental regulations, and a hostile business climate just to name a few. Simply spewing “we need to bring jobs back here” isn’t going to bring jobs back here.

America needs to bring back American jobs.
