Obama: This is the most peaceful era in human history
inn ^ | 4/22/16 | Shlomo Pyotrkovsky

US President Barack Obama said on Monday at a trade fair in Hannover, Germany, that this is the most "peaceful and prosperous era in human history."

Obama's comments came during a visit to Germany where he met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and called for Europe and NATO to do more to fight the brutal Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization that has sprung up on his watch, committing mass rapes, beheadings, and genocide.

But according to the president, there's never been a better time for the world, and if someone had to choose a time in history to be born, it would be today.

Even while acknowledging there is suffering and tragedy, he nevertheless called this the "most peaceful era in human history," noting on longer life expectancies and better education, and saying it has been decades since the last time major powers warred against each other.

People should take confidence "in our ability to shape our down destiny," he said.

Ironically, data indicates that Obama's hands-off approach has in fact led to more global war deaths. Under Obama - who was "surprised" when he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 just after taking office - global war deaths doubled as compared to George W. Bush's presidency.

I guess the “era” is 8 years. Obama on his victory tour. Denial just ain’t a river in Europe.

Yup...every conservative should study Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels...

Once you do, it will be perfectly clear who and what Obama is...

Pretty much every decision he makes is based on dialectic materialism or Islamic thought...

He has no christian ethos or values...

Valerie must be busy as a beaver....transcribing all of Obama's get-rich-quick tour "words of wisdom" remarks into fund-raising letters for his tax-exempt foundations and billion dollar library.

“”called for Europe and NATO to do more to fight the brutal Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization that has sprung up on his watch, committing mass rapes, beheadings, and genocide. But according to the president, there’s never been a better time for the world, and if someone had to choose a time in history to be born, it would be today.””

No joking or hyperbole, this man is truly crazy. No sane person could utter those two sentences in the same breath, same day, same setting...

Why on earth does he think living longer is a positive? He’s done all he could do to make sure all our lives are cut short by his Islamic friends!

‘integrate people of all backgrounds and faiths, and make them feel as one’

Is he pretending that he wants all of OUR citizenry to live as ONE?? He has been dividing us up by special interest groups for 8 years. And pitting each group against against the other groups with every speech! Oh, the hypocrisy runs deep in this Won. And when I read what he says in different European countries, I can’t help but think they must feel sorry for us, after seeing his true personality/narcissism on display for all. It will take a decade or two to unravel all his destruction.....I hope we get that chance.

It would be really telling if we could give Obozo a blood test for drugs. He certainly sounds like he's doing recreational chemicals again. If this is the most peaceful era in human history, what would the least peaceful look like?

Obama Just Gave Himself A MASSIVE Pay Raise… FOREVER!
The Political Insider | 3-18-16 | Charles Kosar / FR Posted by afraidfortherepublic

The Congressional Research Service reports that for requests for both 2016 and 2017 fiscal years, Obama's proposed federal budget would expand funding through the Former Presidents Act. In 2017 alone, Obama wants nearly an 18% hike in expenditures… $588,000. That means $3.865,000 in appropriations will be available to spend on former Presidents! The 2016 proposed budget includes an additional $25,000 increase.

The Former Presidents Act, enacted in 1958, provides living former presidents with a pension, office staff and support, funds for travel, Secret Service protection, and mailing privileges. It also provides benefits for presidential spouses. Currently, former presidents are awarded a pension equal to the salary of cabinet secretaries, which totaled $203,700 for the 2015 calendar year and was boosted by $2,000 for the current calendar year.

Critics of the act argue that it financially supports former presidents who are not struggling. Many of them, alternatively, have gone on to profit from writing books about their time in the White House or delivering paid speaking engagements.

Former President Bill Clinton, for example, earned $132 million for delivering paid speeches between February 2001 and March 2015, according to an analysis from CNN. Clinton received $924,000 in taxpayer dollars last year by way of the Former Presidents Act.

Republicans in the House and Senate have introduced legislation that would cap annual pensions for former presidents at $200,000. Additionally, the bills would cut each pension by a dollar for every dollar the former president earns over $400,000 in the private sector in a given year. The measure was approved by the House in January with bipartisan support.

"It's pretty simple. You want a retirement and pension, it's there. But if you're going to go out and make enormous sums of money, then you don't need taxpayer subsidies," Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah), who introduced the bill in the House, told ABC News in an interview. "The former presidents are making gobs of money speaking and writing books, more power to them, but that doesn’t mean they need more taxpayer dollars on top of that," Chaffetz added. "It's embarrassing that they take that money."

Demand Congress vote no. No more money for ex-presidents.
