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.

Exactly, makes sense, now. The protector of the free world, the USA inherited the mantle from Great Britain, IMHO.

I am one who believes the Roman Church as the first baton-receiver from Israel was infiltrated long ago.

30 years ago we thought Antichrist would arise from the old Holy Roman Empire. Some now think he arises from Islam.

I’m following the baton (in my opinion!) from Abraham.

Another of the great communicator’s quotes from the article.

“But one of the great things about America and one of the great things about those who are in professional sports is we’ve all got cousins, uncles, family members who are still struggling and are a reminder that we have a lot more work to do.””

I’m sure that all that golfing and extended vacations helped him take the edge off his suffering.

Why did Nero fiddle while Rome burned?
Because he never learned how to golf.

“But one of the great things about America and one of the great things about those who are in professional sports is we’ve all got cousins, uncles, family members who are still struggling and are a reminder that we have a lot more work to do.””

How terrifying that that sentence came out of the mouth of the leader of the free world!

I too am puzzling about the “professional sports” comment. I rechecked the article to see if he was speaking to athletes, but no, I don’t see that he was.

So basically he’s saying that “One of the great things about America” is that our families “are still struggling.”

What? Is he now admitting he’s not on America’s side?

I was 8 years old when Reagan was first elected.. All I remember about those times was when Reagan won all but Minnesota in his reelection bid.

I remember as a kid we where solid middle class. then again, at that time, both my parents worked for the government.

That filthy SOB. I guess all those vacations just wore him out.

And trying to figure out how to blame everyone else for his stupid decisions.

No, he is fully aware that his supporters haven’t a clue about History so he can get away with making inane comments like that...

As a certifiable, narcissist, Obama's grandiose dream is his creation of an Empire of Dependency.

And, of course, to send us the bill for it, until there are no taxpayers left.

well... Mine where.. and still are.

I was adopted. I can only guess it’s in my genes or a full on rebellion of my parents.

I'm originally from New York. A majority of my family were Democrats simply because...

The one ray of hope was that Party Affiliation didn't necessarily mean supporting the Democrat Candidate over the Republican Candidate.
