Avoided scandals... lmao
Bush supporters Tony Blair and Spain's Aznar lost because of their support for his war. Millions openly protested against Bush and the USA. Where are those massive multi-million protests today??
None to be found.
Keep trying ...
We're far better off today than under the GOP. May not be fashionable or politically correct on this forum but it sure is true!
Politics is such a fickle thing- Five years ago Dubya was the worst President in the history of the planet, now Obama is! Go figure! -

On the contrary it is you right wingers who are delusional.
Meantime, here in the highly unionized & "liberal" Gopherland, we are enjoying the LOWEST unemployment rate in the USA:
Twin Cities jobless rate -- at 4% -- is the lowest in U.S. | Star Tribune
The Twin Cities boasts the best unemployment rate of any large metropolitan area in the United States as a wave of recent hiring boost the local economy.
Job growth across a mix of industries in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area lowered the jobless rate to 4.0 percent in May, edging out Austin, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio, for the nation’s lowest rate, the U.S. Department of Labor reported Tuesday.
“It’s fantastic news,” said Katie Clark Sieben, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. “This is a reflection of the healthy economy and a labor force we have in the state that’s very well-educated and hardworking.”
The economic downturn hit many other states harder than Minnesota, which has also had a forceful recovery.
The unemployment rate — which does not count those who have given up looking for a job — has dropped in the Twin Cities by a full percentage point since February.
“Number one, the health care economy never slacked off during the recession and then has continued to boom,” said Louis Johnston, an economist at the College of St. Benedict and St. John’s University. “We have a big footprint in health care, both with medical devices and indirectly with UnitedHealth.”
Johnston also said the oil boom in North Dakota has helped the Twin Cities job market in subtle ways that aren’t felt in other major cities.
“We’re the closest metropolitan area to the Bakken, and I think that’s helped us a lot, especially in finance, insurance and logistics,” he said.
Rounding out the five major metro areas with the lowest unemployment rates are Austin with a 4.1 percent rate; Columbus and Oklahoma City tied at 4.4 percent, and Boston with an unemployment rate of 4.7 percent.
The figures are not seasonally adjusted and are ranked by place of residence.
The report focused on unemployment numbers and didn’t single out industries that are driving the changes. But a boom of construction projects in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington area, as the government defines it, has added nearly 10,000 jobs in the past 12 months.
State economist Laura Kalambokidis noted that improvements in the metro area’s unemployment picture are vital because job gains in the region influence the economic health of the state as a whole.
While the top rank is a “positive,” Kalambokidis said the good news isn’t limited to the Twin Cities.
“Another part of the story here is that if you look at the year-over-year changes, all of the non-Minneapolis-St. Paul metro regions — Duluth, Mankato, Rochester and St. Cloud — have made improvements in the unemployment rate over the year,” she said.
The state, which has recouped all of the jobs lost during the recession, has the third-highest ranking of labor force participation in the nation, Sieben noted. Some 70.6 percent of workers are in the job force.
In the annual rankings, the metro area has ticked up a spot every year for the last three years, starting at No. 3 in 2011.
Anybody who denies any of that is on drugs.
Senile types suffering from drug induced dementia need to set aside their lunacy and check their facts.
Everywhere you go here in the Twin Cities you see construction work going on, roads being repaved, new bridges, new ball fields (I just attended a ball field dedication the other day), and hotels thriving. Tune in to any of our nightly news casts and check for yourself.

How many of the remaining States have proximal access to the Bakken fields?
... Not exactly proof-positive that the policies from the WH has had any positive effect on employment in gopherland now, is it?

Obama DOJ to investigate ‘racist’ Independence Day outhouse float
On the prodding of angry Democrats, the Department of Justice has decided to step into the controversy over a float that was part of the Norfolk, Nebraska, Independence Day parade, Omaha.com reported on Friday. The float consisted of a zombie-like mannequin standing near an outhouse labeled “Obama Presidential Library.”
The float drew accusations of racism from members of the state Democratic Party, CBS said. According to the Omaha World-Herald, neither the float nor the truck pulling it identified a sponsor.
As a result, the DOJ sent a member of its Community Relations Service team -- a group that involves itself in discrimination issues. On Thursday, the unidentified team member met with representatives of the local NAACP, the mayor of Norfolk and The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the organization that organized the parade.
Dale Remmich, the creator of the float, said the mannequin represented himself, not Barack Obama. According to World-Herald staff writer Emerson Clarridge, Remmich is upset with Obama's handling of the Veterans Affairs Department...
