If you like to believe all of these manipulate government numbers sure he has done great! However if unemployment were measured as it was prior to 1980 it would be close to 23%! Same with inflation, it is close to 10%! All of the economic indicators are manipulated to make everything seem better!
Apparently you are a democrat! Did you believe everything the government told you when Bush was president? Most likely not! If not then why do you believe them now?

The Obama part time jobs myth destroyed with one graph!

Yes there are a lot of jobs being created, in low wage fields such as the service sector! We have a quantity of jobs, just not quality jobs that can support a family!

(14) First President to cancel the National Day of Prayer and to say
that America is no longer a Christian nation.

We are NOT and have never been a 'Christian' nation! NO religion defines our country and it's people. Our freedom of religion or no religion at all is my right as a citizen of the United States of America.


True, but Obama did say this! He also talks about his love for Islam and how much Islam has done to help America thrive throughout our history! Seems that he thinks Islam should be the main religion here!

Hard to say. It seems like there are a lot of angry people, with pent up frustrations. But I assure you all that you see, on these forums, are but a mere drop in the bucket in relation to the population of the U.S. Take care, brother.


Could that be because we are being led down the wrong path? Financially, politically, economically, spiritually, emotionally, we are moving in the wrong direction! We have a president that seems at times to despise Christians while up holding Muslims! These are the very people that wish to destroy us! He has alienated our friends while emboldening our enemies! We have a congress that can't agree on anything! A lot of the members are corrupt and have only one thing on their mind! Keeping their power! They make crooked deals with business owners through lobbyists while ignoring their constituents! Yet with all of the corruption going on it seems that the majority of these criminals will get re-elected! This is beyond insanity! We have the p**********l e******ns coming up in a couple of years and it seems that the we have no one that would be capable of turning this country around!
Yes our government will lie to you and tell you everything is just fine. Unfortunately too many people will believe their lies and go on as if nothing is wrong! They will believe that the economy is good and that we have a bright future. Even when the true economic data states otherwise! People will believe anything it seems! Just as P.T. Barnum said, There is a sucker born every minute! This is why there is so much gloom and doom out there! It's from those that are paying attention to what our government is doing to us! Both parties are selling us down the river to the highest bidders!

quality of life in Cuba under Batista was no better than under Castro. If you feel it was, post something to show us that fact..


Yes life in Cuba is pretty much the same as it is becoming here and as it was in the old Soviet Union! The ruling class gets all of the perks, while the middle class peons pay all of the bills!

I recently found two people on OPP that made it very clear that they would like to see the President of the United States assassinated....

Please tell us if you agree or disagree and why ?


No way! No matter how much I disagree with his policies, I do not want to see him assassinated! Never should the president of the U.S. be murdered because some ding bat has an issue with him! It is wrong in every way!

EDITORIAL: Economic strangulation with red tape

President Obama knows nothing about making the economy grow. On his watch, America’s gross domestic product has inched forward at an annual average of 1.2 percent, according to World Bank data. We’re outclassed not only by the usual suspects — Brazil, China and India — but by Mali, Guatemala, Swaziland and Vanuatu. Burundi’s economy grew at an annual average of 4 percent. Peru’s grew 5.5 percent. Burkina Faso jumped 6.2 percent.

Yet none of the leaders of these nations have the spinning sk**ls of Mr. Obama, who has spun spool after spool of red tape. The president presides over 174,545 pages of the Code of Federal Regulations, a tome that would climb 24 feet toward the heavens if printed in one volume. If laid out on the ground (a good place for most of them), the pages would stretch for more than 30 miles.

During Mr. Obama’s first term, more than 78,000 new regulatory restrictions were added, by the calculations of RegData, an online tool developed by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University to track federal regulations.

In less than six years, this administration has presided over a 46 percent rise in the number of rules of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The Federal Reserve nurtured 40 percent more regulations; the Department of Commerce, 19 percent; and the National Indian Gaming Commission, 18 percent.


Only four bureaucracies have fewer ordinances than in 1997. The rest have churned out dictates with wild abandon. The Environmental Protection Agency has 87 percent more restrictions than in 1997. Even the Library of Congress has spun a 90 percent expansion of red tape, presumably to handle important decisions, such as what to do about a senator with overdue books.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street regulation act has a lot to do with the rise of Washington micromanagement. It’s why the Commodity Futures Trading Commission had 5,000 rules in 2010 and two years later, as Dodd-Frank took effect, counted 7,000 rules. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation restrictions grew 56 percent over the same period. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created in 2011 and immediately came up with 3,600 federal restrictions.

In the first four years of his tenure, Mr. Obama hit the finance and insurance industries with a 47 percent increase in red tape. Now credit cards, mortgages and automobile loans are more expensive and harder to get. Education loans, retirement accounts, homeowners insurance and many forms of investments are less consumer-friendly.

The new tool devised by Mercatus Center quantifies what most Americans already know. They feel the federal pinch when they try to do their jobs, apply for a loan or pay their bills. Americans are not safer, better informed or more advanced because government nannies have learned to tell them what they can and can’t do in new and more creative ways. We’re growing poorer in comparison to much of the rest of the world.

A freeze on new regulations, and a rollback of the most useless of existing federal directives, would unchain the private sector, which creates the wealth. It would reinvigorate entrepreneurs who could produce the economic growth of which Americans once boasted. One day, we might match the economic performance of Mongolia.

The point being, this was all out even during W's rein. Were the righties even aware? Do you think any righty would even be looking at much of anything if they still controlled the WH and congress? No. It took their hatred for O and the dems to make them even open their eyes. Otherwise fat dumb and happy, and every thing's fine. After all, W was a 2 term pres. Unbelievable.


The left is no better than the right at seeing what their current occupier of the white house hero is doing! You won't acknowledge that Obama is just like Bush. He is governing just like Bush, usurping power that is against the constitution. Bush started the D.H.S., Obama has expanded it's powers. Bush started the Patriot Act and again Obama has expanded it's authority. Bush started using drones in the middle east, Obama has expanded their use. Obama is just like Bush in so many ways yet no one on the left that I know of will admit this! Why do you people support parties that are destroying America and turning it into a third world country? Our government has become so corrupt and criminal and very few will even acknowledge this! Everyone is out for their piece of the pie and to hell with anyone that doesn't see things my way! Everyone is entitled to their opinion but we have to put these petty differences aside. We have been divided by race, class, and party affiliation for too long! Keep up this attitude that no one else has an opinion that counts and there will be no more pie for anyone!

Barack Obama deliberately set out to lose the war in Iraq, and he did. He defied the advice of his joint chiefs of staff to secure America’s formidable military presence and keep 20,000 troops in country, and left Iraq to its own devices and the tender mercies of Iran. In doing so, he betrayed every American and Iraqi who gave his life to create a free Iraq and keep it out of the clutches of the terrorists.

Iraq is now a war zone dominated by the terrorist forces of the Islamic State, whose rise Obama’s policies fostered. Both his secretaries of state praised the animal Bashar Assad as a “reformer” and a man of “peace,” helping him to thwart his domestic opposition. The Islamic State was born out of the Syrian chaos that ensued.

Far worse was Obama’s open support for America’s mortal enemy, the Muslim Brotherhood, spawner of al-Qaeda and Hamas. During the “Arab Spring,” Obama essentially put America’s weight behind the legitimization of this murderous organization that had been outlawed for 40 years for its assassinations and conspiracies against the Egyptian regime. Secretary of State Clinton gave totally unfounded assurances to the world that the Brotherhood was ready to become part of the democratic process and give up its 90-year holy war against infidels, Jews in particular but also — and explicitly — America. During the Brotherhood’s brief tenure as the government in Egypt Obama gave these genocidal zealots more than a billion dollars in American aid and F-16 fighter-bombers that could easily reach Israel’s major population centers, which for 60 years the Brotherhood had sworn to destroy.

By his feckless interventions in the Middle East, and his tacit support for the chief organization of Islam’s terror war against the West, Obama has set the Middle East on fire. All the violence in the crescent from Gaza to Iraq, including Hamas’s genocidal war against Israel, has been encouraged by Obama’s support for the Brotherhood and hostility toward the Jewish state.

Characteristic of this encouragement was his illegal intervention in Libya, which violated every principle that Obama and the Democrats invoked to attack President Bush and undermine America’s war against the Saddam regime and the terrorists in Iraq. Thanks to Obama, Libya is now in the hands of the terrorists and thousands of Libyans are fleeing to Tunisia and Egypt. Thanks to Obama, the Christian communities of Iraq, which date back to the time of Christ, are being slaughtered.

Because of Obama’s aversion to America’s role as a keeper of international peace, the tyrant Putin has been able to swallow Crimea and threaten the rest of Ukraine. Since his e******n in 2009, Obama’s policies have been responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people and will result in the deaths of tens of thousands more. Thanks to his efforts to destroy America’s borders, Americans may be included in this grim toll. Certainly, Americans are now threatened by terrorists as never before.

Where is the Republican opposition? Why are Republicans still treating Obama as though his were a normal presidency and not a national disgrace? Why are there no indictments of Obama for the carnage he has enabled?

There is one foreign policy area where Republicans have shown some fight: B******i. But the fight here has been over an inquiry — important in its own right, but not a political challenge to Obama’s efforts to sabotage and degrade the country he is supposed to lead.

We know the basic facts. Obama’s team was trying to monitor and recapture the weapons we had helped supply to Islamist m*****as in Libya. That was Ambassador Stevens’s mission. No security was provided because Stevens’s mission had to be secret and plausibly deniable in the middle of an e******n in which Obama was running on the cynical lie that the war on terror had been won. During the battle waged by American heroes against the terrorists’ assault in B******i, the president and his secretary of state went A.W.O.L. and left these brave Americans to die. Instead of honoring them and hunting down their k**lers, Obama then took off for a fundraiser in Las Vegas. This was surely the most shameful individual act by a president in the history of the White House.

Having abandoned these American heroes and their families, Obama and his minions then lied to the American people about the terrorist attack and used it as an occasion to defend the Prophet Mohammed in a U.N. address to the world. This series of acts showed Obama’s contempt for the American military, contempt for the American people, and sympathy for America’s enemies, an attitude that has been revealed over and over again.

When will Republicans gather the courage to start speaking t***h to power?

So...C*****e c****e is a conspiracy theory and not to be believed. So... lets come up with a different conspiracy theory to explain changes in weather. Makes sense to me! At a quick glance, I see that HAARP sights are being dismantled. If the weather keeps being weird I guess we'll know which conspiracy theory to believe now won't we?

I know of no one that disputes c*****e c****e. It happens continually. What is being disputed is the ridiculous claims of g****l w*****g! All of the previous computer models have all of the ice melting away at the poles, and a rise in temperatures much greater than what has happened. Have there been droughts and heat waves across the world? Absolutely, but not any more frequent than in the past.
There has been little difference in the w*****r p*****ns over the years. The difference is that there are so many people living in areas previously sparsely or uninhabited. How do we know that super storms have not hit before? We didn't become a nation until 1776. The land was sparsely inhabited for many decades to follow. A super storm may well have hit the gulf coast and there would have been very few if any to record it. Those living in the area most likely died. Weather was not even recorded until well into the later parts of the 19th century. My point is that we have no idea of what weather events hit North A0erica until well into the 20th century. If g****l w*****g is so prevalent, why was it changed to c*****e c****e?

If HAARP is true then it is just another black eye for humankind. Trying to control the weather for peaceful purposes would be a wonderful thing. However as stated it was to be used for war. Why do we have to always think of ways to destroy ourselves? Had atomic power been used to better humans it would have been a tremendous step towards world peace. However, like everything else we touch, it was corrupted to fit mans desire for power!
