Barack Obama is living in his own dream world.
To hear him tell it, thanks to six glorious years of his leadership, America is in great shape again at home and overseas.
According to his boasts, which the mainstream media rarely challenge, the economy has rebounded from the Great Recession and federal budget deficits have been sliced in half under his watch.
Never mind that we're in the slowest economic recovery since FDR's awful policies prolonged the Great Depression.
Never mind that the "official" unemployment rate of 5.7 percent is a statistical fraud because it doesn't count the millions who've dropped out of the job market.
Never mind that the federal government still spends $486 billion more every year than it takes in and future deficits are projected to be a trillion bucks a year.
And never mind that ObamaCare is a fiscal time bomb that's already driven up the cost of health insurance for millions of individuals and small business owners.
Pay no attention to all those grim realities at home, says our strange man in the Oval Office. All is well on Obama World.
And don't worry about those bloody wars going on in Syria and what's left of Iraq. Don't worry about the future of Afghanistan or the recent terrorist takeover in Yemen, either.
We have ISIS terrorists on the run, President Obama says. We've outfoxed Putin in Ukraine. Soon we'll sign a deal with Iran's mullahs about ending their nuclear weapons program.
Dream on, Mr. President. Time's running out.
After six years of President Obama, it's frightening to see what an alien, almost un-American worldview he has and how he puts it into practice daily.
When it comes to religion, everyone knows the president lives on another planet.
He's clearly more interested in sticking up for Islam than for Christianity. And, I swear, he's more comfortable quoting from the Koran than from the Bible.
He outdid himself at a recent prayer breakfast when he tried to equate the atrocities committed by modern Islamic terrorists with what Christians did during the Crusades a thousand years ago.
But President Obama is most dangerous to the country when he delves into foreign policy.
When he goes overseas to visit our allies, h's more likely to start off by apologizing for America's history of slavery or blaming America for something like climate change. His recent move to unilaterally ease our 54-year-old economic embargo with communist Cuba is a perfect example of how badly Obama negotiates and what he thinks is important.
The Castro Brothers are still high-fiving each other. But the United States - and the imprisoned and impoverished Cuban people -- got little in return for making it much easier for trade and travel activities to take place between our countries.
Compare Obama's blase attitude toward communism and its victims with Ronald Reagan's. In 1987 my father went to Berlin and challenged the USSR to allow more political and economic freedom for its captive countries.
At the Brandenburg Gate he called for Mr. Gorbachev to prove he was serious about liberalization by tearing down the Wall.
When the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall came along in 2009, Obama showed how little he cared by skipping the ceremony and sending a video message.
The good news is that in two years President Obama and his world will be gone.
We'll be back to reality and someone much more competent -- President Hillary or Jeb or Scott or Rand or whoever - will have to clean up all of his messes.
Whoever our next president is, we'll be better off. There's no way in heck he or she could be as strange or as harmful to the country as Barack Obama.
I have acquaintances who still love the SOB.
PRESIDENT DE BLASIO....could very well be just as bad for America as Obie Mohammed Obama!!
At the end...who’s President Scott? is it Walker, or did he suggest FL Governor Rick Scott is entering the race?
That’s one thing I don’t think we’ll have to worry about.
Bill DeBlasio is doing a fine job of definitively proving he could not run a popsicle stand, let alone New York City.
The president is either clinically delusional or a pathological liar. Or, perhaps, both.
Curiously, he’s right. Hillary would be a heinous president, but much better than the psychotic-in-chief.
Evolving Terminology:
Just as our basic vocabulary grows and evolves on an almost daily basis, so too does our usage of technical terminology and acronyms.
Example: In recent American history, the president of our once-great nation has been identified by the acronym “POTUS” , which of course stands for President Of The United States .
However, during the current presidency, many may not be aware of the subtle change in meaning that has come about with that term..
The occupant of the Oval Office is still referred to as the POTUS, but the term has become much more descriptive of the man holding this once revered position:
POTUS now means “PIECE OF TOTALLY USELESS Shiite.”
The problem is America doesn’t have a POTUS, it has an Imam in the White House.
You betcha
Sorta like after they win the super bowl of ideas, they want us all to announce that we are going to "Obama World"!
They have their hands on a different script than the one we are holding.
And, there will be a different ending than they think it will be.
Where they are going the rides tend to make a person fell a little crispy.
He probably means Scott Walker, as he is currently the most talked about
That would be The White Mosque.
For the first time, I agree with Obama on something.
PRESIDENTIAL RATINGS
“I have acquaintances who still love the SOB.”
The POS SOB is still god to every leftist freak I know.
Where I work, “O” is God on earth.... LOTS of denial HERE!
> I have acquaintances who still love the SOB.
Because they are idiots who don’t know him, his actions, his alliances, his history, his lies, etc....they live in lalaland. I have some too. I’ve straightened them out as best I can but its obvious they don’t know anything at all about him; only the face the MSM portays to them.
Actually he is the worst president of all times, and I have said that at least 5 years ago
> The problem is America doesn’t have a POTUS, it has an Imam in the White House.
12th at that
Me too. A few relatives and other acquaintances. With one exception, all white females.
