Obama doesn't negotiate in good faith. No legislation of substance, much less tax reform, is possible with this president.

Honestly...the GOP winning the House of Representatives was the best thing for the Democrats. Their two years of full control were two years of bumbling and disaster. In 2010 they FINALLY had a scapegoat even though they still control half the Congress and the Executive Office.

Harry Reid sits on every bill that is sent to them from the House of Reps and screams obstruction when the Senate bills do not get passed. Then Obama uses the bully pulpit and his media machine to say the GOP in the House will not cooperate.

Obama has been defeated in war:

"...Historian Max Hastings says that the campaign in Afghanistan, Obama’s ‘war of necessity’, is coming to an ignominious-looking end...As for itself, the Obama administration is stealing away as quietly as it can. The last US Marines out of Helmand said. 'It was surreal,' said Marine communications officer Captain Anthony Nguyen, 33, of Houston, Texas. 'There were no parades, no big flybys of massed aircraft over fleets of ships in Tokyo Bay. Just an urge to get out there as fast as prudence allowed.

'We’re not refugees or anything, but it kind of reminding me of scenes of Vietnam, of people running to the helicopters … just this mad dash to the aircraft,'added Nguyen, who is Vietnamese-American..."

For those loons who say Obama hasn't done enough about ISIS, here's some news that should come as a shock:



UN Report: New US War in Iraq and Syria Attracting Jihadists in Droves
Analysis suggests "explosion of jihadist enthusiasm" has followed aggressive military action by US and its allies



UN Report: New US War in Iraq and Syria Attracting Jihadists in Droves | Common Dreams | Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community


A report by the United Nations, obtained by the Guardian newspaper, reveals that foreign jihadist fighters are flocking to battlefields in Iraq and Syria on an "unprecedented scale" since the United States and other allies began a wave of military operations in those countries over the last several months.

According to the Guardian's Spencer Ackermann, the UN report

finds that 15,000 people have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside the Islamic State (Isis) and similar extremist groups. They come from more than 80 countries, the report states, “including a tail of countries that have not previously faced challenges relating to al-Qaida”.

The UN said it was uncertain whether al-Qaida would benefit from the surge. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al-Qaida who booted Isis out of his organisation, “appears to be maneuvering for relevance”, the report says.

The UN’s numbers bolster recent estimates from US intelligence about the scope of the foreign fighter problem, which the UN report finds to have spread despite the Obama administration’s aggressive counter-terrorism strikes and global surveillance dragnets.

“Numbers since 2010 are now many times the size of the cumulative numbers of foreign terrorist fighters between 1990 and 2010 – and are growing,” says the report, produced by a security council committee that monitors al-Qaida.

Critics of President Obama's newest war in the Middle East have long-argued that the nature of the campaigns used by western nations to supplant groups like ISIS and al Qaeda—namely the invasion and occupation of foreign nations, cross-border drone attacks, airstrikes that frequently kill civilians and the backing of repressive foreign regimes—have, in fact, emboldened these entities and rallied others to their cause.

The Obama administration has repeatedly said the new wars being fought by U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Syria will be a "long-term" engagement.





All the more reason to GTFO of the Middle East. Anyone else who wants to play hero and have a war there needs to start their own militia at their expense.

Funny how on the one hand you want Obama to further intervene in the Middle East to fight ISIS which costs billions of dollars and on the other hand you complain of too much federal debt. The majority of Americans have demanded no further boots on the ground so if you want more war you'll have to do your own fighting.
