how can people over look this crook?

I have never in my life seen so many crooked things go on right in front of our faces and some people just make up excuses and look the other way. its insanity.

the spying and loading the white house with reporters. right in front of our eyes this administration is clamping down on freedom of the press, has pretty much bullied his way into making sure the press goes his way or dire consequences.

all the continued domestic spying

nothing done about all those other illegal things. I don't have a list. im just ranting.

recently letting iran basically win the debate and leave us worse off than before.

obamacare and with all its laws is almost like a new constitution its so big and over bearing. mind you add to this the provision to report any mental heath doctor visits making your doctor beholden to the gov. this will take away your right to bare arms. also, add to thee the executive order coming up to have a gun register.

amnesty which will and is killing us even faster.

its just so many things, so many mind blowing things right in front of our faces.

yet, you make apologies.

I know you people don't respect me, and that's fine. but when all this stuff is so right in your face blatant wrong and you continue day after day to make excuses and deny it. I have to say, I don't respect you either because you must be a liar.

Where were you when ''W'' was running the show?

W was not a Black man in the White House. You should know all blacks are criminals and the President is roaming the streets playing the knock out game.

Leibowitz called the editor of the Scottsboro weekly newspaper, who testified that he'd never heard of a black juror in Decatur because "They all steal".[56] He next called local jury commissioners to explain the absence of African Americans from Jackson County juries. When Leibowitz accused them of excluding black men from juries, they seemed to not comprehend what he was accusing them of. It was as if the exclusion was unconscious.[57

"...recently letting iran basically win the debate and leave us worse off than before...."

You know something is being done right when the frightwing faction thinks we are 'worse-off.'

There is a lot more to be done to keep things simmered-down in the Middle East. A lot was being done in that arena between 1992-2001, but then Dubya was elected, and he put peace on haitus for 8 years so he could make more war in the Persian Gulf region. Glad to see that President Obama is interested in keeping a lid on things again. I don't care if it pisses-off Israel.

dubya was a saint compared to these crooks.

yep, dubya is and was a saint compared to obama and his minions. I have never seen so many ILLEGAL activities and scandals in the white house.

obama makes nixon look like a angel to  

The liberal media paints Obama as the creator of rainbows and butterflies and all things warm and fuzzy. Although the "Great Obama Shine" is wearing off and many people want nothing to do with his fundamental change or his false hope.

1. IRS targets Obama’s enemies: The IRS targeted conservative and pro-Israel groups prior to the 2012 election. Questions are being raised about why this occurred, who ordered it, whether there was any White House involvement and whether there was an initial effort to hide who knew about the targeting and when.

2. Benghazi: This is actually three scandals in one:

■The failure of administration to protect the Benghazi mission.
■The changes made to the talking points in order to suggest the attack was motivated by an anti-Muslim video
■The refusal of the White House to say what President Obama did the night of the attack
3. Watching the AP: The Justice Department performed a massive cull of Associated Press reporters’ phone records as part of a leak investigation.

4. Rosengate: The Justice Department suggested that Fox News reporter James Rosen is a criminal for reporting about classified information and subsequently monitored his phones and emails.

5. Potential Holder perjury I: Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress he had never been associated with “potential prosecution” of a journalist for perjury when in fact he signed the affidavit that termed Rosen a potential criminal.

6. The ATF “Fast and Furious” scheme: Allowed weapons from the U.S. to “walk” across the border into the hands of Mexican drug dealers. The ATF lost track of hundreds of firearms, many of which were used in crimes, including the December 2010 killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

7. Potential Holder Perjury II: Holder told Congress in May 2011 that he had just recently heard about the Fast and Furious gun walking scheme when there is evidence he may have known much earlier.

8. Sebelius demands payment: HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius solicited donations from companies HHS might regulate. The money would be used to help her sign up uninsured Americans for ObamaCare.

9. The Pigford scandal: An Agriculture Department effort that started as an attempt to compensate black farmers who had been discriminated against by the agency but evolved into a gravy train delivering several billion dollars in cash to thousands of additional minority and female farmers who probably didn’t face discrimination.

10. GSA gone wild: The General Services Administration in 2010 held an $823,000 training conference in Las Vegas, featuring a clown and a mind readers. Resulted in the resignation of the GSA administrator.

Sebelius violates the Hatch Act: A U.S. special counsel determined that Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made “extemporaneous partisan remarks” during a speech in her official capacity last year. During the remarks, Sebelius called for the election of the Democratic candidate for governor of North Carolina.

13. Solyndra: Republicans charged the Obama administration funded and promoted its poster boy for green energy despite warning signs the company was headed for bankruptcy. The administration also allegedly pressed Solyndra to delay layoff announcements until after the 2010 midterm elections.

14. AKA Lisa Jackson: Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson used the name “Richard Windsor” when corresponding by email with other government officials, drawing charges she was trying to evade scrutiny.

15. The New Black Panthers: The Justice Department was accused of using a racial double standard in failing to pursue a voter intimidation case against Black Panthers who appeared to be menacing voters at a polling place in 2008 in Philadelphia.

16. Waging war all by myself: Obama may have violated the Constitution and both the letter and the spirit of the War Powers Resolution by attacking Libya without Congressional approval.

17. Biden bullies the press: Vice President Biden’s office has repeatedly interfered with coverage, including forcing a reporter to wait in a closet, making a reporter delete photos, and editing pool reports.

18. AKPD not A-OK: The administration paid millions to the former firm of then-White House adviser David Axelrod, AKPD Message and Media, to promote passage of Obamacare. Some questioned whether the firm was hired to help pay Axelrod $2 million AKPD owed him.

19. Sestak, we’ll take care of you: Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used Bill Clinton as an intermediary to probe whether former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) would accept a prominent, unpaid White House advisory position in exchange for dropping out of the 2010 primary against former Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.).

20. I’ll pass my own laws: Obama has repeatedly been accused of making end runs around Congress by deciding which laws to enforce, including the decision not to deport illegal immigrants who may have been allowed to stay in the United States had Congress passed the “Dream Act.”

Typical of Progressives. They denigrate our best friend and ally in the Middle East and express their undying love for Al Qaida and the other terrorists. You must be so proud.
