The week after his reelection, President Obama was a man full of promise and promises: His job-approval rating stood at 54 percent, the 2010 tea party wave that had knocked his first term off balance appeared to have receded, and he seemed as sober about the future as he was hopeful.

“With respect to the issue of mandate, I’ve got one mandate . . . to help middle-class families and families that are working hard to try to get into the middle class,” he said at a news conference in the East Room of the White House in November 2012. Obama acknowledged the dangers of “presidential overreach in second terms,” but he put forward an expansive, legacy-building agenda: a major fiscal deal, immigration reform and action on climate change.

When he became a twinkle in his unknown daddy’s eye.

He went wrong from the moment the doctor slapped his butt at birth in Kenya.

” I wouldn’t hire any of these people to clean my toilets ... and it has nothing to do with their politics.”

Yeah, every time I see Josh Earnest (now there’s a handle that aptly describes this a$$hole), and those two pea-brained women at the State Dept. (Jan Pi$$ake and Marie Horf), I say to myself, this is what passes for intellect in the Obola Administration! They make Kristen Powers look like a Mensa. It’s actually really fun to watch the “RAT commentators” on FNC “metamorphosis” as the Obola Administration continues it’s slide into the dumper. The only one who is stupid enough to continue to sing the party song is ole Juan Williams. I can actually see where Obola might not make it for another two years. He may just drag up and quit, and save us the trouble of impeaching him. (A jail term would seriously impair his golf game)
