My assessment is I'd rather deal with 10 armed Lunatic's on the lose rather than see Obunco with a pen in his hand writing to Congress for new legislation to harm this nation.

Making a small step towards public health care.

One small step for universal coverage... one giant leap for the health insurance industry.

Although, to be fair, and I don't know if it's happening in all states, but in some states the recommendation is coming down to start selling premiums cheeper because statistically then young people will buy in, unbeknownst to them paying for care of the old.

I am willing to bet that Obama's Legacy will be judged with higher praise than his Texan predecessor. Obama might have been a lukewarm President who gave little result, but George W Bush will always be remembered for the boondoggle in Iraq and the Abandonment of Afghanistan.

In my humble opinion.

The effects of the additional debt brought online by the current admin will not be truly felt for some years. The Canadian equivalent is PET - when the cash was being spent, folks were happy, but the moment that there is an economic hiccup, that debt comes to bite you in the azz.... No doubt in my mind that this will be an enduring element associated with the Obama administration

In terms of military actions (or lack thereof), I believe that Benghazi will remain in the hearts and minds of many Americans for years to come

Bush threw away an empire. Obama created two peoples where there were once one.

Yep, but I'd say Bush had a "tougher row to hoe" as I think 9/11 and Katrina were both tougher than anything Obama has encountered so far.

Well for sh!ts and giggles we could say that Bush inherited 911 from Clinton's shortcomings, but when you come to brass tax Obama inherited the economy from both Bush and Clinton. I actually think Obama is a pretty intelligent guy, but his ideology and the American system of Lobbyists and pork barrel politics will do him no favors. But hell, who are we to talk. Look at at all the pigs we have at the trough in Ottawa.

And they all do what they are told by others! It's called knowing "what side your bread is buttered on"-:)

I think Obama, like Carter, is a little overwhelmed by it all. He scaled up really fast, and I think he lost control of the machine.

Unfortunately, the high-point of his legacy will probably be his race. Aside from that, he's been just a middlin' President.

What race is that?

Carter will be remembered fro the Iran Crisis and the Camp David talks that brought Israel and Egypt together. Sad to think the latter now hangs in the balance.

President Obama's voter base is composed of the upper class and the underclass. The working class didn't vote for him.



We went through this before:

The White Vote in 2012 & the Obama Coalition | Working-Class Perspectives ---


The middle class (folks of all shades and colors with at least a bachelor’s degree) voted 50/48 for President Obama, and the somewhat larger group of voters with no bachelor’s degree, the working class, voted 51/47 for the President.




---------------------------




No, Romney Didn’t Win The Middle Class



Romney Strategist Stuart Stevens Is Wrong About The Middle Class, TOO | New Republic

As always, the right wing myths are exploded yet again.

Your source is illegitimate. Provide me with a recognized source like the Associated Press or NY Times.

Right wingers love to cite Fo卐 and NotSoBreitbart. Both full of squat with not a word of truth in either.
So no one was killed in Bengazi?
