Years This Country Has Gone Through In My Lifetime' By Terence P. Jeffrey February 24, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama told a group of contributors at a campaign fundraiser in Florida on Thursday that his term so far has been "three of the toughest years this country has gone through in my lifetime."

"We've gone through three of the toughest years this country has gone through in my lifetime," Obama said, according to the White House transcript of his remarks.

"And there are a lot of people who are still hurting all across the country--a lot of people here in Florida, a lot of people everywhere," said Obama. "There are still folks whose homes are underwater because the housing market collapsed. There are people who are still struggling because they can't find a job. There are folks who are just barely able to make ends meet. And obviously those of us who are here, we've been incredibly blessed.

He’s probably right. These are the toughest 3 years of my life time too..

Problem is, it’s his fault and he refuses to accept blame.

He's an ugly child. Not a child in innocence...but a grown-up child who refuses to accept responsibility for his actions!

He is the personification of human evil.

The question remains...is he the personification of a greater evil?

Yeah, and that goes for the rest of us too. Even those of us old enough to remember Jimmy Carter.

Yes. Obama’s presidency has been the toughest time our country has seen for at least the past half century.

Sounds like a good campaign ad.

Actually, the years under Jimmy Carter were worse for us. Interest rates at 22%, stagflation and the misery index. The only difference now is that we have managed to accumulate some capital.

I really feel sorry for the kids just starting out, mostly through empathy.

Jimmy blamed everything that moved except himself. Progressives are stupid. Honestly, it is a genetic brain disorder.

I think he was handed off a pretty tough set of problems. And sure enough he compounded them at every opportunity. Can anyone imagine what the media would have done to Reagan if he hadn’t turned things around in his first term?

Obama not only hasn’t turned things around, he’s made them worse, and continues to propose only solutions he’s already tried that have already failed.

Reagan’s recovery floated all boats, but the media continued to talk about all the NEW homeless under Reagan.

Where’s the talk of NEW homeless now? Where’s the talk of the plight of the average family. How many new people have sunk below the poverty level?

If Reagan was running right now for re-election, there would be a list of bad things ten feet long.

With Obama, not a peep.

And taking posh vacations at every opportunity. Yeah, he feels our pain.

Sounds like he’s resigned himself mentally to be a one-termer.

“Doesn’t he remember the 60s?”

He’s not old enough to remember the 60s, is he?

And besides, in the 60s the commies were out in the streets, not in the oval office.
