It would be interesting to hear what the babbling i***ts that support this ass have to say about this one.....

Maybe Michelle flew in and they dined on lobster and caviar together into the night looking longingly into each others eyes. I have heard that Michelle really does like that lobster maybe they went just a bit overboard that trip.

Maybe this will help as well.
As Barack Obama moves toward the end of his career, expect to hear lots of talk about his legacy.

I believe the first African-American president will be remembered kindly by the academic establishment, writing from their ivory towers, because of the historic nature of his e******n.

But for average Americans, it'll be a different story. Most Americans judge a president based on what he promises versus what he delivers, and they judge him using the question Ronald Reagan asked v**ers in 1980: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"

At this point in the Obama presidency, the answer is a resounding "No." Obama promised big results, but he's failed to deliver.

For example, look at these four promises and the eventual results. They cover what are arguably his biggest accomplishments.

Obama's $825-billion stimulus failed to keep unemployment below 8%, as he promised. After the stimulus passed, America still lost over one million jobs. If you count people who've become discouraged and are no longer seeking jobs, some economists believe that the real unemployment rate is still above 20%.
Obama called his healthcare package one of his major accomplishments. He told CBS News' Steve Kroft that he was "putting in place a system in which we're going to start lowering healthcare costs." Yet Obamacare has failed to make health insurance more affordable. According to FactCheck.org, Obamacare is actually making healthcare "less affordable." Workers paid an average of $132 more for family coverage this year.
Obama predicted that his investments in g***n e****y would create five million jobs, but The Wall Street Journal reports: "The green jobs subsidy story gets more embarrassing by the day. Three years ago President Obama promised that by the end of the decade, America would have five million green jobs, but so far, some $90 billion in government spending has delivered very few."
Obama pledged to cut the deficit in half, saying: "And that's why today I'm pledging to cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office." Obama then enacted his deficit reduction plan, which was comprised of a series of massive tax increases. Yet the deficit is still more than twice what he promised.
Based on these results, I'd give the president a solid "F"!

Don't expect much reporting on the president's record, though. Instead, watch as the media continues to focus on polls. They like to judge politicians this way because they can control the outcome. Just ask any honest pollster - it's easy to game the outcome of a poll by manipulating the questions.

In fact, the news media is almost desperate to ignore Obama's record... and so is the president himself. He's constantly changing the subject when it comes to his record, focusing instead on topics like "income ine******y."

Lucky for Obama, the mainstream media will always help him out. Just wait... I fully expect them to work hard building the president a legacy he doesn't deserve, as well.

Everything this gut touches turns into s**t and the cost are usually four to five times the estimate what else do you expect from someone who has no idea about budgets and responsibility.

What is the Hotel bill---10% of what the cost per day would be ? It took 4 planes to fly all his 'accessories'. 6 limousines, assistants, Secret Service, press, .....all to make him look important. Did you hear--his 'gift' to the Pope was SEEDS from Moochelles garden ! The Queen gave His Holiness a bottle of the UK's best Scotch ! We are SO nuked !

I am one of those Obama supporting babbling i***ts, and most of us don't give a rats ass about the cost of an official visit to a foreign country, or what you think about the costs. These trips come with the job, like it or not. BTW, the ass is still your president and you can't do s**t but gripe about it.

3jack

To most Americans, he is important and we don't give a crap if you and the rest of your tea party i***ts don't think he's important. BTW, He's your president until 2017.....live with it because you cant do crap about it.

1.5 million? What a deal! I can barely do a weeks travel for under $1000.00, but I'm no Rhodes Scholar like him.

3jack

Neither are you the President of the United States......but he is.

bobgssc

Only if you live in the past.

The Dutchman

The hell I can't, I can still continue to expose the parasite for the wasteful spending no-load it is and there isn't s**t you can do about it!

Lily

You don't care because your welfare chevk keeps coming. Not out of your pocket.

The Dutchman

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
You have this parasite nailed down!

3jack

It is you that is living in the past.

Contrary to your i***tic beliefs, everyone that supports the President is not looking for a handout. Only mentally deficient, r****t, uneducated, backward thinking, stupid morons would believe or support such logic. I am not on welfare nor is anyone in my immediate or extended family on assistance programs. However, I don't hear you harping about the tax breaks and handouts given to the rich, big oil companies and large farming conglomerates as they rip us off with overpriced goods.

3jack

Did you get your Social Security check, your Medicare Advantage, Meals on Wheels, your subsidized prescription drugs, your unearned government pension, or other handouts this month? Want to see a parasite? Look in the mirror.
