Questioning everything is only good sense and basic intelligence. Why is it I am not surprised you see common sense as obstructionism?

His alleged birth certificate has been called into question by two Document examiners of impeccable credentials. I pointed out to YOU that you brought up his birth. Your responses are bizarre, what are you smoking or are you plastererd?

Your reasoning abilities are as deficient as your perceptions of reality. You postulate false major premises and then draw erroneous conclusions. You are a waste of time.

Glaucon

You talk gibberish. I don't have time to splain it to you.

Glaucon

You may need to go postulate Yourself.

Glaucon

You need to pay attention and learn what reliable and valid sources are. You are either stupid or crazy and I really don't care which.

Well, had you been paying attention to the one person on here who has all the answers (Me) you would have read that I thought Obama was dumb when he created the red line, but was right to proceed with caution when Syria was suspected of using chemical weapons?

Here's what I suspect, Obama was screwin' up the country with his liberal and Islamist nonsense. However, being in the position of president, he had a first-hand knowledge of the other players. Those that have been leading America around by the nose and into the morass of the Middle East and eventually anywhere else the war mongers wanted to go. Dare I say the jews? There are many on here that buy into the notion that Isreal is a special ally. Bullshit, of course, Isreal (is) special in that it probably gets more American tax money than all other countries, put together, America considers allies. And before anyone raises an argument against, please tell me what if anything America gets in return.

Anyway, Obama didn't like the jews, for probably several reasons, but the main reason is he equated the oppressive treatment of the Palestinians with how blacks were/are treated by whites.

Obama sensed, even though he had been elected twice, he was powerless against certain powerful forces, the Jewish lobby being one and the industrial military complex another, for starters. Both, probably, one in the same. However, that didn't stop him from attempting to wreck havoc by the means he had: executive orders.

Eventually, along comes Trump, the great boasting hope, who is now finding out what he's up against. He's beginning to waver with each passing day. Bend over and grab the ankles, for once again the people have been duped; nothing has changed!

Glaucon

I liked Obama personally and am quite sure he meant well. He may have handled things about as well as they could be handled , considering all the factors we knew and those we didn't . I am not aware that he attempted to wreck havoc with executive orders, but I haven't paid much attention to that.
The rest of what you write seems rational and consistent with the facts as seem to be based on available evidence.

Trump is sounding like bar room braggart and I am surprise he hasn't hurt his back while kissing it.

I am not convinced about all you say but you have said it well and substantiated it well.

Richard Rowland

By wreck havoc, I was thinking of the ACA, and his immigration policies. And, I realize we all have different concepts of Obama's successes and failures. However, I think Obama was blamed for much that he had no control over. Still, if the crew fucks up, the captain takes the heat.

This is interesting. Any type of "tribal" affiliation politically regresses the process.

Ask someone why they are a --------?

Many times they will say, "Well, mom and dad were."

Then ask, "Why do you think they were?"

This is interesting.

Granted, traditions in families are well worth creating and preserving.

But when we don't know why......probably not good.

(Of course, in a free society, we are supposed to be left largely alone to run our own affairs. Government today, and the two party system, are designed to get us to use politicians to steal from us (each other) and then argue how the stolen goods are to be divied up. In the course of this, we end up hating each other over who's getting more of our stolen resources.....and that's just where they want us. (The Griswolds at Christmas, if you will).

The most effective way to increase your political intelligence is abstain from any news source which supports the conspiracy theory that 19 Arabs attacked us on 9/11.

Glaucon

Obama did some great things and they meant mostly unnoticed. Captain Trump is creating a clusterfuk and he doesn't admit it and doesn't takethe heat.

Glaucon

Who do you imaging attacked us on 9/11, Wold Blitzer?

Glaucon

Interesting comments and well thought out.

Glaucon

No sane person still believes Obama was born anywhere but the good old U.S.A
