I applaud what President Obama said

It may be old news, but I don't recall any positive comments about it on this board. Deficit Prediction Trimmed for the Rest of the Decade By JACKIE CALMES Published: July 27, 2012 WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficit will be slightly lower for fiscal year 2012 and for the rest of the decade than projected earlier this year, the Obama administration said Friday. Its required midyear update on the nation’s fiscal health showed that while revenues are coming in lower tha ...

I just turned on the TV and learned about the 90 to 100 Christians who were kidnapped by ISIS. Why is the White House silent on this? ...

for part of the pipeline. Regardless of how he feels about continued use of oil for energy, he's gotta admit that it will at least put Americans to work....and God knows we need that. However, I still don't get why he talks about green energy and opposed this pipeline for the longest time before agreeing to it....when he funded off shore drilling in Brazil. I guess I don't get the double standard there. We give aid to Brazil for drilling and yet Obama seems ...

Apparently the Republican "Mr. Right" does not exist. The Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, indicates President Obama hitting 50% or above when pitted against every Republican candidate except former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, but President Obama still tops Romney 47% to 41%. ...

I am reminded why I voted for him and still have confidence in him, even if I don't always agree with him. Bash me all you want, I don't care. It reflects on the bashers more than the bashee, and he is great man. http://www.fancast.com/blogs/2010/tv-news/behar-and-hasselbeck-praise-obamas-view/ ...

No need to flame. The author is conservative and yes, it's an opinion piece. It's the opinion of the author on why Obama will be a one-term president. 10 Reasons Obama Is a One Term President by Daniel J. Flynn Posted 06/20/2011 ET Less than two months ago, buzzing from the president’s gutsy call to eliminate Osama bin Laden, liberal pontificators had practically sworn in Barack Obama for his second term. “For the GOP the sands are rushing through the ...

The link to the article and the excerpt below is showing the progress that is starting to be made with the change in focus of our health care system. Not a moment too soon with all the Baby Boomers entering retirement. If it were up to the Republicans, we would be doing the same ol' same ol' that doesn't work and just cutting benefits. Groundbreaking Project Shows Drop in Hospitalizations and Rehospitalizations among Medicare Beneficiaries ANN ARBOR, Mich. and ENGLEWOOD, ...

It's being reported that the president knew about the problems at the VA since 2008, and so he should since he is Commander in Chief. So, if he knew about those problems and all these other scandals brewing, just what has he accomplished during his presidency other than the colossal failure known as Obamacare? Of all the scandals, the one involving Veterans is right up there with Benghazi. The very people who have volunteered to protect America, including the President, and this is the than ...

Every president has stayed out of the next president-elect's policy changes, etc. and helped them transition to the new administration. Not this guy. He is one spiteful ex-president and two-faced hypocrite. Last week when he met with Trump, Obama said his "number one priority" in the next two months in office is to facilitate the transition to the Trump administration. He said the two talked about "organizational issues," as well as domestic and foreign policies. "I believe that i ...

Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, who has been held in an Iranian prison on spy charges for almost 18 months, were freed Saturday along with three other Iranian-Americans in a prisoner swap on the eve of the lifting of U.S. sanctions against Iran, according to the Iranian news media. Oh, I know, he played some golf and took a vacation or two. Not as many as anyone else, but he didn't deserve as many days off as anyone else, did he? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world ...

I have no political heroes. None! I don't see President Obama as a hero. I don't see him as a villain. I think he's done some things well and others not so well. However, his speech will determine for me whether I will support him or not. There is not one person running on the other side that I would tolerate so far, so I'm sure hoping he doesn't lose me. LOL. How can he lose me? If he caves in to the people who want to take my Medicare and/or social security from me, ...

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/32225.htmlBy PATRICK O'CONNOR & TIM GRIEVE | 1/29/10 12:58 PM ESTUpdated: 1/29/10 1:53 PM ESTBALTIMORE — President Barack Obama on Friday accused Republicans of portraying health care reform as a "Bolshevik plot" and telling their constituents that he’s "doing all kinds of crazy stuff that's going to destroy America."Speaking to House Republicans at their annual policy retreat here, Obama said that over-the-top GOP attacks on hi ...

at congress. I gotta give the president credit...he is an excellent finger pointer. lol In all honesty though, congress does have to own up to some of the blame here. However, I don't truly believe Obama blames congress. I believe he is trying to blame republicans in congress because now there are people opposing the democrats on their views. I guess my biggest problem with this blame game is that the democrats could have done anything they wanted before the l ...

I just want to say that I think President Obama is doing a fantastic job. I look forward to more positive changes in the future and am grateful that the majority of American citizens were intelligent enough to elect such a brilliant man to lead this country! ...

President Obama was clearly born in Hawaii or else 2 hospitals and the Health Department were in some kind of conspiracy when he was a baby. Did they know that one day he would be president? His mother was an American and that makes him an American no matter where he was born, even though Hawaii was in America at the time he was born there. ...

Whether or not you like Obama I think everyone will like this. There are two different clips. http://www.stevebridges.com/obamavideos-promo-jan2010-lg.html ...

"But what troubles me is when I hear people say that all of government is inherently bad," said Obama, who received an honorary doctor of laws degree. "When our government is spoken of as some menacing, threatening foreign entity, it ignores the fact that in our democracy, government is us." Government, he said, is the roads we drive on and the speed limits that keep us safe. It's the men and women in the military, the inspectors in our mines, the pioneering researchers in public universiti ...

President Barack Obama battled with Senate Republicans in a tense closed-door meeting Tuesday, facing tough criticism from his GOP adversaries — including John McCain — on issues ranging from health care to border security. Senators and other sources inside the meeting described the gathering as “testy” and “direct” — and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) accused Obama of acting two-faced by asking for GOP support on regulatory reform only to push for ...

Yes. (This is from the Washington Post. The "through W's terms" are my words. His are below. Note the graph--that vertical axis is our debt as we try to maintain, not yet realizing that falling or stagnant wages are not just a temporary aberration.) TRUE. President Obama: "By 2008, we had seen nearly a decade in which families struggled with costs that kept rising but paychecks that didn’t; racking up more and more debt just to make the mortgage or pay tuition; to put gas in th ...

President Obama: "Now, I’ve cut taxes for those who need it – middle-class families and small businesses." TRUE – Obama has indeed cut taxes on 95 percent of Americans, and, among many other initiatives, passed the HIRE Act which cut taxes on small businesses who hire and retain workers. For the life of me, I don't understand why some are SO unhappy with this. By all means, don't vote Dem for social reasons if that's who you are. ...

U.S. Military Is Sent to Jordan to Help With Crisis in Syria By MICHAEL R. GORDON and ELISABETH BUMILLER Mohammad Hannon/Associated Press Refugee families arriving in Jordan in September.

I just took a look at Real Clear Politics and noticed that President Obama's job approval rating is overall +3.4 and Gallup has it at +11 for the past couple of days, and more people polled have approved of his job performance than have not for quite some time. If this is the case, and it appears to be, why would people vote for Mitt Romney and deal with the unknown? It strikes me as odd since Romney seems to be somewhat ahead in the polls with the exception of IBD/TIPP. ...

again to help further his agenda. Very smart on his part to take advantage of the loophole and make them tax exempt. They don't have to pay their fair share. ...

Some of you on this board can't stand Bill O'Reilly but he had a great Talking Points memo last night. He hit the nail on the head and Juan Williams agreed with him saying he was "bold and fresh like he used to be" and that Juan's book "Enough" pointed out the exact same things. No matter how much you hate BO, you should watch it. http://www.billoreilly.com/show?action=viewTVShow&showID=3440#1 ...
