Not so brilliant. Atleast it's better for them, than the kids Obama bombed to death in Libya or used the Syrian rebels/ISIS to secure Syria for western interests.

Both food stamps and welfare have spiked greatly since he took over, and it's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. somewhere around 5 million illegal immigrants just got the OK to stay here, my guess is at least half end up signed up for both. Welfare is up something like 25% or maybe more I can't remember the numbers. Average salaries are down, price of everything you can think of has doubled, now people have a forced insurance bill they didn't have before, because they couldn't afford it...he wants as many as possible dependent on government. Even if he has to ignore the laws and constitution to get it...

This is all part of his "distribution of wealth" scheme. Basically everything he's done is geared toward that end. But it's not taking from the super rich to give to the poor, it's taking from the middle class mostly, and it's about to put them in a serious bind. Taxes have to go up, way up, to pay for all this. If the country survives that long, I hope people have sense enough to kick the rest of his cronies out of DC in 2016...otherwise we're doomed. Might be too late already.

Duran, I'm just brimming with sarcasm today. As Americans we should all just be very ashamed of the millions of Libyan children we have killed. In the meantime lets pray that Ben Gazi runs for president.
Syria I am so happy that we have taken over the country. The legitimate government that received and stockpiled WMD from hussein is no longer in power and isis has fled the region.

Isn't it great to watch the news up it Canada?

By the way, please forgive Billy... Sometimes he gets involved and points out the truth. Shame on you Billy. LOL.

I just love how our lapdog media will fail to mention one single negative thing about the community organizer in chief, after 8 years of attack dog style coverage of Bush. Like him or hate him, Bush would have done something to lower gas prices five years ago. The grocery prices are not coming down, along with the gas prices. I'm here in the Reconquista Territories, and there is no shortage of people who don't speak a word of English paying for overflowing carts of food with my tax money. Not fuggin' cool! They're just here to work. MY ASS!

Bush DID do something to lower gas prices. Obama reversed it soon as possible.

About a year before Bush left office he got sick of OPEC countries gouging us, so he announced that he was going to open up oil drilling in this country, the basic idea being we don't need your oil we have our own. They knew he would do it, prices fell immediately. Not in several months, a couple of weeks. Obama took office and one of the first things he did was impose a moratorium on oil drilling. Prices went back up. A lot.

Prices have gone down quite a bit the past month or two here in the US, which Obama wants to claim but he had nothing to do with it. Arab oil countries have more than they can sell, won't back off on production, other things going on over there too, so supply greatly exceeds demand, prices drop.

And of course our politicians, both democrats and republicans as far as I know, want to increase the gas tax. They want you to believe they're losing money as gas prices fall...poppycock. The current gas tax is around $0.08 per GALLON...not per dollar. So gas can be 6 bucks a gallon or one, the govt still makes the same 8 cents each. All it will do is hit us in the pocketbook. Their favorite pastime.

And yeah I have this nasty habit of trying to point out the truth...sorry but I'm also not politically correct. You can take your politically correct and stick it where it won't get no suntan.

Things just ain't rosy. White House says we're winning in Iraq. So why does ISIS now control more than twice the territory they did in August last year? Why do they have time to lop peoples' heads off and post videos on youtube? If we were winning all they would have time to do is run for cover.

Abominable care is getting worse by the day. Did you get to keep your plan? Your doctor? Are your premiums lower? No, nope and not no but hell no. Now we know they even lied to Congress to get it to pass. Not to mention Nancy Pelosi telling them they had to "Pass it to see what it says".

Illegal immigration is getting worse, millions are about to be allowed to stay here free and clear, sign up for every government hand out you can think of, then of course vote for the Democrats who gave it all to them on a silver platter. And Obama won't even think about doing the one thing he needs to do most, secure the borders. Now border control is being told they need to ask illegal immigrants if they qualify to stay...insane...

He also says they are taking jobs Americans don't want. I've done a lot of carpenter work the past 10 years, every framing crew and roofing crew I saw was hispanic. We all knew they were all illegals. How many of the 29 million Americans out of work are carpenters? How many times have you driven by a road work crew and seen a Mexican holding that Slow/Stop sign? Americans don't want that job? Watch the crew leave a meat packing plant sometime.

Democrats aren't completely to blame either, the Republicans, who got Congress handed to them by promising to use the "power of the purse" to stop this madness, turned their backs on us and let it go full steam ahead anyway. So much for honest politicians. But we knew that already.

And now it's starting to look like either another Bush or another Clinton in 2016...both incredibly bad ideas. As I've said before, government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich is NOT what our constitution says.

I'm sure I'm missing...oh yeah...education going down the tubes. We're now below 20th world wide in all 3 classifications, math reading and science. 10 years ago our lowest number was 12th I think. I wrote them down but don't have it here with me. If I remember, Math 27th, reading 20th, science 24th. That may be wrong, I'm not positive, feel free to look it up and correct me.

Police under attack all over the place, freedom of speech seriously in danger of disappearing, corruption eating up the IRS, VA, oh what the hell the entire government.

No things aren't exactly rosy...

THANKS Billy... I couldn't have said it better!

How would anyone even know?

Wouldn't they have to be off a vacation or a golf course or a nice political fund raising event or at Martha's vineyard resting up from the last vacation to know how things are at the White House?
