No, what Obama has been giving away will be hard fought to get back.

Just saw a poll that says MOST Americans believe Hillary to be honest, compassionate, believable and would be a good leader.

Yes, I believe it is over. When she said what difference at this point does it make, she got the sympathy vote, cuz those wascally wepublicans were just harassing her. All the evils that wench has done, is a resume enhancer for her. There was another Freeper, can't remember his name, who said he did not think there would ever be another Republican president is his lifetime. I do not know, but he might be onto something, with all the parasites and minorities voting rat, it might be over for a long time. I hope I am wrong, but I am not confident about it.

To paraphrase PT Barnum:

No one ever lost a recent election by underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

"Americans themselves consider Putin to be a stronger leader than Obama," he added, pointing to opinion polls which then popped up on the screen.

Stronger? Yes. But that doesn't take much. More cunning? Yes.

Neither is a leader I would really wish for, but there is something to be said about having a worthy opponent.

If “Obama” doesn’t already have the Order of Lenin, there is no justice.

And this doesn't, for some reason, give me reason to feel good.

The United States presidential line of succession defines who may become or act as President of the United States upon the incapacity, death, resignation, or removal ...

Putin has nothing to worry about.

A leading anchor on Russian state television on Sunday described Russia as the only country capable of turning the United States into "radioactive ash"

Factually inaccurate. China could too. And at least as far as major cities go, France, Britain and UK could do a decent job as well.

The Russians obviously have not been to a lot of US cities lately. At least, not if they think they are scaring some of us.

Isn't this sort of like them threatening to flush our toilets while they know that in exchange we will smash their finest tableware?

“Under Obama we are sitting ducks. Russia and the rest of the world have absoluitely no fear or respect for him. All they see is a big green light to do whatever they want at our expense. The country is going to pay a horrific price for electing this effete clown.”

So true. We are soooo screwed.

Asked about handling a nuclear war with Russia over Ukraine:

Yeah, we're safe. As in "hot gasses aren't concerned about much" safe.

China will then rule the world.

The US wouldn’t be completely destroyed, but for all intents in purposes it what suffer a standing 8 count.

It’s not enough for him to leave office but for all of his supporters to NEVER vote again.
