can you repeat that i was overindulge'n and slought'n...when you posted that...nothing like a good old rich lather'n up in overindulge slouth to start the day...

Not picking on you personally "plain bob". I'm pretty sure you were on a treadmill while responding to the article.

Nothing like a pig with a pen, Right!

To have had it done in secret is un-American. God knows what oath he actually took or what book he had his hand on. Not even an inaugural address from KING Obama.

Linda5440 - yours is a totally IGNORANT post. I watched his swearing in so it was HARDLY in Private. Had you bothered to turn on the television you could have seen it also. The inaugural address is tomorrow and is not usually done on a Sunday - check through history. He used the Lincoln bible today and will be sworn in again tomorrow on the MLK bible. Your post shows an infantile need to make up lies to fit your agenda!

OK, will someone please explain to me how presidents avoid prosecution for crimes including election fraud, Identity Fraud, Social Security Fraud, Income tax fraud both state and federal, accessory to the murder of an American Ambassador, Sale of guns to a known terrorist organization known as Al Qaida. Sale of guns to Mexican Drug Cartels.

Anyone?

Ok, just for you, I'll repost this for your ignorant ass: Too bad you can't delete the below quote huh? Makes you look like a fool.

Getmadstaymad

Do you remember what Nixon was impeached for? NO ONE DIED BACK THEN.

#1.96 - Sun Jan 20, 2013 12:42 PM CST

Jesus, man, the more I read your @!$%#, the more ignorant I see you are.

You ACCUSE President Obama of selling guns to al-Qaeda, (prove it), and Nixon's "Watergate?" On your part, that is a wide range of stupidity.

Two U.S. presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, #17, and Bill. Clinton, #42.

Nixon was NEVER impeached, he resigned before it happened. He resigned from office the day after the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee sent an article for recommendation for impeachment to the full house for approval after 27 separate articles of impeachment had been filed by various house members. He knew he would lose the trial in the senate (Clinton was acquitted in his trial) so he decided it would be best to just resign. The articles alleged abuse of power and obstruction of justice and he definitely would have been found guilty because he was on tape telling his staff to pressure the FBI to stop their investigation into the Watergate burglary and approving payoffs to the burglars to keep their silence.

You're just like FOX news, just throw @!$%# out there, see how many idiot followers of their news it will stick on, all while knowing it's LIES!!

Linda5440

To have had it done in secret is un-American. God knows what oath he actually took or what book he had his hand on. Not even an inaugural address from KING Obama.

Yea, but it was televised/recorded/video-taped for all to.see with Justice Roberts officiating. Inaugural address comes tomorrow.

Some of you people are absolutely pathetic, you say stupid stuff without even trying to find out if it's correct!

Tomorrow blame someone else? No, just blame the current administration- it's more fun!

I dont know, take off your tin foil hat and go listen to Rush. I am sure he will explain it to you.

He also had his audience that he told most of America he didn't care much about them.

If Romney had won the economy might be a very small bit better and even that is debatable. BOTH parties are in the historic trap of buying votes and pacifying the sheep with the promise of the biggest free lunch. Its a trap that has caused the collapse of every form of Democracy in recorded history and one the Constitution was designed to prevent. It would require the recreation of the massive middle-class tax base, dismantling of the welfare state, elimination of all tax deductions and credits, and getting more revenue from the lower 75% of the tax base (currently that lower 75% of the tax base only account for less than 12% of tax revenue) ....... Name any politician who would survive doing what is absolutely necessary to save the Republic. Historically current situation results in the total collapse of a Republic, the rise of a "saviour" and a period of brutal tyranny and oppression before the cycle repeats itself and a new Republic commits suicide once again.

Obama has done a budget each of his four years. It's up to Congress to pass it. They have not.

B707320C: Well said, but seems most on here just want to attack. I sometimes wonder what the age group is, the juvenile comments are telling.

B707320C: That is the job of Congress ... to prevent long term harm to the Republic. Just be glad one branch of the government is responsible enough to do what it elected to do.... protect the interests of the citizen over Party Agendas.

What does these 6 comments have to do with my specific question?

Rohann ... you asked a question and I gave you the answer ... was it not the one you hoped for?

" if we only had a democratic majority of congress,we would HAVE utopia,this OBSTRUCTIONIST CONGRESS is the reason for obamas' failures". then next they say, bush is the reason we are in this mess, when in fact he had an OBSTRUCTIONIST democratic majority that did nothing at ALL for two years in hopes of winnning the white house,and it worked,congrats,deception is deception right? toot those horns while bitching.which one is it anyway,is it congresses fault or the prez? only congresses fault with a democrat in office right? couldn't be congresses fault with a repub in office right? dummies

Rohann:

Labor laws and overtime pay..... That's why you can not conduct "official" ceremonies on Sunday.

Heidi, the 48% are bent out of shape, and clearly, POOR losers! They never learned that the majority rules! This is sick to see so many people who will not accept defeat and get on board with the winners. What is wrong with our educational system? Perhaps that is also the primary cause of so many divorces, "you are going to have your way or no way!" Not a pretty attitude or a good example for our children or other nations!

My question is simple this...if Romney had won would he had had a private swearing in on Sun and public one on Mon? If so, Would Obama leave Washington on Sun or on Mon? I am trying to figure out and answer how tradition and customs would have changed. Please stay on topic. Thanks.

YUP. The wording of the article makes it appear to be our President's fault that inJustice ROBERTS acted passive-aggressively, smiling the whole time. They should find a responsible Justice to swear the President in, IF possible.

Rohan R.R. Mayers:

Q: If Romney had won, how would it have been different or the same?

A: As to the different part of the question, you would have had a business man at the head of a business instead of a Lawyer. But still a politician, so as to the "same" part, you would have had some of the same "party business" going on. While Romney had actually had a proven record of reaching out to the Democratic party to get work done and was known to be able to find that fine line of comprimise to do what is best for all...we'll never actually know if he could have done anything given that historically Washington is much different from running a state.

Q: Would Romney had a private swearing in on Sunday and the public one on Monday?

A: Yes, the same as Ronald Regan in 1984. He would have had to take the oath on a specific day, as prescribed by the Constitution of the United States. But the inauguration doesn't stop with just the swearing in. There is a long tradition of Pagentry that goes along with the swearing in. From the parade, which started with Thomas Jefferson when mechanics from the naval yard in Washington followed his horseback ride to the White House (then just called the "President's House"), to the Inaugural Address started under George Washington, to the Ball also under Washington.

Q: If so, when would Obama had leave Washington?

A: Technically, never. This is still (technically) a free country, and he could take up residence in the District of Columbia should he so choose. If he were to go back to Illinois, he would have to be out of the White House today.

Q: Why can't we have public swearing in on Sundays?

A: Our government works "Banker's Hours", which are Monday thru Friday 8am to 5pm, so you would have to have the official ceremony during that time. The swearing in, for the ceremonial one, is mostly a formality. The official one, must be on the day prescribed by the Constitution. In order to do a public ceremony in our government, it would have to be done during business hours when you could have our government (all three branches) together.

Excellent questions, thank you.

B707320C,

The President does not do a budget, he only has the power to propose one.

The Constitution of the United States of America

Article 1.

Section 8

No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

There's the Congressional Budget Office. Unfortunately, according to another news story on MSNBC,

The Senate hasn't passed a budget since 2009, which has drawn lots of criticism from Republicans but protected Democrats controlling the chamber from politically difficult votes. The GOP measure would cut off or delay paychecks for lawmakers in either House or Senate if their chamber had not passed a budget resolution by April 15, but it would not require the two sides to reconcile their differences to keep receiving pay

So what they are saying is that the Senate has not worked on the budget since 2009. Interesting. Does that meand that Senate Democrats haven't been doing their job? Very Interesting....Extremely Interesting. So you guys call the Republicans "Obstructionists", but you won't do your damn job?!? Rohan R.R. Mayers This is what I'm talking about when I say "the same party business going on" in the answer to your first question.

@!$%#you.........

I am not a Pelosi fan but we went from one of the MOST PRODUCTIVE congresses ever under Pelosi to THE LEAST PRODUCTIVE congress EVER.

JD - you fail to mention that "businessmen" have made the worst Presidents in history as leading a country is totally different that running a business. Take George Bush for example......

SeekingSanity,

The problem with that idea is that Bush was a moron. Personally, I thought Periot would have been a better choice of business man for the job, but we are where we are. There's a big difference between being a true business man, who works his way to the top building a business and someone who is handed an already established business. When I saw my business fail a few years ago, it was the hardest thing I've had to suffer through professionally. Will you see the oil industry suffer the same problems that private electrical contractors have gone through in the last few years? Probably not in our lifetime. There's a difference between the needs of everyone all the time and the needs of the private sector some of the time. George Bush runs a business that people need all of the time. All he ever had to do was collect the profits. There's a difference when you have to actually hustle to make a clientel, manage your resources, make sure your costs are in line with the quality of service, and make sure that billing is done correctly and on time so everyone gets paid (generally as owner, you make the least until you land the big client and I never complained about it, because as long as my bills were paid I was performming a service to not only my community but the economy by having emploiyees). Try interviewing George Bush and see if you get the same answer from him.

In reality, business men (with the proper experience) make the best leaders. Provided that you have actually led your people and grown your business through said leadership. Let's define leadership the same way we did in the military when I was in. If you watch the movie (or even better, read the book) We Were Soldiers (and young), it is spelled out so clearly: "The officer is the first one out of the Helicopter. To inspire your men..." There's the key, be the first one there to inspire by your example! I just never saw that inspiration out of Bush. Just a bunch of BS. He was a politician, not a businessman.

A true business man knows the difference between what part of public service you are doing and what part of your interests you are serving. If you are not doing more for the community (be it local, state, federal, global), then your interests are purely greed. If you are doing more to enrich your community, then your business will thrive along with your comunity. Look at what has and is happening in Corperate America and you will see what I mean.

Well thats twice now he lied underoath

JD - nothing in our history supports your post. We have NOT had a businessman who has made a good President and there is a reason for that. Business leaders are used to their word being it - although the best ones work closely with others they are still used to having the final say.

The President doesn't get that luxury and has to work with Congress in order to get things done - and as we have seen, when Congress pledges to block any and everything - that isn't possible.

We have YET to see a businessman make a good President. Clearly Romney WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER since he held NO position for any length of time and showed he couldn't put together a working team to help him get elected.

Try again!

Do businessmen make good Presidents? No. This is what history says.

Herbert Hoover was a businessman and he gave us the Great Depression.

Bush was a businessman. He had an oil company that could not find oil in Texas. He went AWOL from the National Guard. He lied us into the Iraq Abortion. Just read his 2003 SOTU Address. Then he gave us the Great Recession.

Cheney was a businessman. He was CEO of Halliburton when they started selling Nuclear technology to Iran in 1998. Halliburton kept it up until 2005 when Congress finally noticed how illegal that is.

Rohan, we cannot have public swearing in on Sundays because it would interfere with FOOTBALL. After Reagan's private Sunday swearing in, he flipped the coin (remotely on T.V.) for the SuperBowl. Since we have since added wildcard games, it is only the conference playoffs that a Sunday swearing in would interrupt, but still, I mean SHEESH. (sarcasm)

very "Christ" like response.

leftward bound,

And your the example of Godly living this morning? Your just another boring lemming following the Pied Piper to nowhere.

Taking a survey? Or did you NOT just show you cared by responding?

That;s right and you Republicans are sooo Christian you want to kill off kids and old people (health carefor kids Social Security gun control) but anybody touch a fetus then your going straght to he##

Pro lifers are actually killers. Abortion is legal and has been for 40 years.

Badass Wichita Abortion Doctor Responds to Death Threats with Lightning Bolt Car

Yes, 40, I remember that in their platform this past year:

1. Lower taxes

2. Grow the economy

3. Reduce dependence on foreign oil

4. Kill all the little kids and old people

I hope, for your sake, that your are trying to be funny.

On another note, we just elected a guy who got excited because he did not screw up the oath of office this time. Is his bar really set that low? What's next on his bucket list, coloring inside the lines?

jupiter... personally, I think the tax rate for "the successful" should revert back to pre-raygun rates! They seem to have a sense of entitlement about not paying their fair share.

Ever get a job from a poor person?

Only a government worker can say that!

I work for the "rich", and not only are they NOT evil, they give me a job that gives me a standard of living that is comfortable. Could I maybe take some more from you so I can live even MORE comfortable?

Drones.....Marxist drones.

Here, have an Obama phone and call the unemployment office!

Brutal, good post bro! I like the way you substituted "suck up to" for "work"... real clever Cleaver!

i also work for the "rich" alot brutal, stonemasonry, my work has fallen badly in these last four years,they are afraid to spend money with this idiot in chief we have now.one of these rich out-of-staters i worked for said he would LIKE his property taxes and other o-o-s,raised to a point where,the locals wouldn't have to pay any. i bet he's just PLAIN EVIL, and others i've talked with would like the tax rates changed to a fixed %,meaning MORE MONEY EARNED,MORE TAXES PAID. these rich tho' they be KEEPING ME DOWN! if it weren't for them i could make money sitting on my couch playin' video games.haha. and to the fools that are going to say my work must suck,i've been working steady for 25 yrs and NO ADVERTISING to do it either(well, i did try some,cost 400 and didn't bring in ONE job) so ALL word of mouth(so you know what,right?)

what happen to the hard work?

It's alive and well: Productivity is at an historic high.

Tom ... The current situation is such that: The highest 1% of the tax base accounts for over 37% of all tax revenue, the higher 25% account for over 87% of all tax revenue. 75% of the tax base account for less than 13% of tax revenue and 47% of that base pay 0% tax........ Just what is their "fair share"????

The tax reform during the Bush administration resulted in tax revenue increase from the higher tax brackets and tax rate decrease for the lower 75%. The Laffer curve explains why. The problem is spending not revenue. This supposed "big win" celebration on the issue of increased tax rates on the those maling over $260,000 a year??? It is estimated to result in an increase of revenue of around $3.2 billion a year .... in 514 years it will cover the shortfall of the 2010 federal budget, assuming no further federal spending increases in that time frame. Confiscate the entire wealth of the Forbes 400 richest Americans and it will cover less than one year of federal spending. That spending must be brought down even to begin to think taxation is constructive. The Federal Reserve estimates the sum total of all debt of the Republic: Federal, State, personal and business when adding Medicare, medicaid, social security and long term defense obligations to total around $211 trillion or over 3 times the GDP of the entire planet. You could confiscate the entire wealth of every man woman and child in the nation and it would still not even the spending.

BU**SH**!!

You are talking about income taxes only. The rich pay that but do not pay payroll taxes. Us working Americans pay payroll taxes but not much income taxes. How does that work out?

Income tax = 42%

payroll tax = 40%

business tax = 9%

What are the federal government's sources of revenue?

miklkit once again your numbers are flawed, the bulk of our resources come from income taxes which less than 50% contribute. Our founding fathers had it right, if you didnt pay income tax you didnt vote, if that was applied today the Dems would cease to be a party.

stopfreeloaders - no miklkit is correct. The lies you are posting are wrong.

And, it's interesting that business income is at an all time high while wages for those who do the work is lower. Hmmmmm

the bulk of our resources come from income taxes which less than 50% contribute

If that number is true (doubtful), it is courtesy of GOP lawmakers. They devised the EIC which benefits families with children. Why should they get a free ride and live off everyone else?

Click the link and read the chart. It comes from a good source and is accurate. It also shows that over the years the amount paid by payroll taxes has steadily increased while that of business taxes has steadily declined. Income taxes stayed about the same.

Then consider that those paying income taxes have been making waaaay more all the time and it looks like they are paying less and less. Meanwile the rest of us have seen our income stay the same or go down while our taxes are going up.

So.........where are the jobs?

inequality-p25_averagehouseholdincom.png (PNG Image, 631x346 pixels)

brutaltruth

The economy is based on three legs, providing work, actual production, and consumption. Without someone to make a product or supply a service or without anybody purchasing the product or service, the "rich jobs creator" would not be rich. All three aspects are important equally. In a way that means that everybody is a job creator, not just the rich.

stopfreeloaders

Can you provide a link or quote where any of the Founding Fathers said "... if you didnt pay income tax you didnt vote,..."?

You just don't seem to be able to post without lying.

What middle-class? That entity went extinct in the late 90s.

There is no middle class, only Americans. We divide with that kind of language and look up or down on others instead of giving them something to shoot for. Moving from "class" to "class" is based on desire, not pedigree.

By the way.....ever see a society tax itself into prosperity?

The country is broke. The fiddle plays. Rome burns. No cake left to eat.

The imperial president has no clothes.

Fire up the printing press!

Since the middle class is a median or average number (or both, if you like,) there will always be a middle class. The problem is that RepugnantCONs want to keep blighting it and propping up their major donors.

The conmen want to blight the middle class and enable their major donors. That's a problem with the conpain donation 'system.'

Brutaltruth: By the way.....ever see a society tax itself into prosperity?

Ayup! The New Deal! Eisenhower's 90% tax rate. Clinton and his balanced budget! It is when taxes are lowered that the deficit rises.

U.S. National Debt Graph + Voodoo-Economics Slides

Miklkit under Clinton I had more deductions which led to lower taxes, so once again you prove liberals are cluless.

stopfreeloaders - once again, you prove you know nothing but are eager to post it.

Go buy your own country then.

No more kings the Republicans are not in office!

When the federal government borrows $3.2 billion every seventeen hours to maintain the welfare state, when according to the federal reserve the total national debt (federal, state, local personal and business} is over $57 trillion (just under the GDP of the entire planet). If you add in Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, long-term defense obligations the debt figure racks up to around $211 trillion or about 3 times the GDP of the entire planet ........ If you confiscated the entire wealth of the Forbes 400 richest American citizens it would not cover the Federal shortfall for one year in the current budget. If the imposed new taxes were to raise the estimated $3.2 billion a year, and absolutely no new debt is incurred, in 514 years you would be able to pay off the 2011 federal budget deficit.

$6 million can not even qualify as pocket change.

dream on! What is your source? Six million? You are dreaming, your comment is a lie and you know it.

it was only four million for the vacation

Yes! No more use of AF1 while there's a Democratic Party member in the office, eh conman?

And Dennis fails to tell us that the REAL REAL REAL national debt is approaching one QUADRILLION dollars. More than the debt of the entire observable universe since the beginning of time. And this has all just come from the Air Force One trips to Hawaii. This will more than quintuple when they establish Obamacare. Dennis' right wing sources will have another number for that one. The right wing crazies are not the brightest apples on the tree.

Actually, I would be pleased if President Obama could establish Socialism in our nation.

How about some proof of your statement? Show us the numbers, officially.

And because of republican obstructionism the President had to fly back to Washington during his vacation and then return to his family. so the republican obstructionists added to the cost of his vacation. Just like when the republican obstructionists held the debt ceiling hostage last year and cost the government an additional $2,000,000,000 a year in interest only because our credit rating was lowered.

dream on - clearly you're dreaming. It DID NOT cost $6 million for to fly the President back and forth to Hawaii. And, let's not forget that he has still taken fewer vacation days than George Bush who amazingly flew on AF1 each and every time HE went on vacation! In fact, amazingly, EVERY President has flown AF1 for their vacations! Totally idiotic post on your part!

Air Force One,it's back-up;Air Force Two,it's back-up;Army One,Marine One;Fleet of armored Limo's and Planes to fly them worldwide plus support crew for all.What no yacht?

May God watch over all of us with four more years of the Obama administration. I am afraid in 4 years we will no longer know what America is all about. Our grandchildren will have to reclaim it.

Always good to read these and see how hateful the Republican base is. It makes my decision during voting time easier.

Actually they sold the Presidential Yacht a long time ago. She used to sit at Bolling Air Force base I think. Hope that helps!!!!

Does it bother anyone else that the secret service is wasting $120 million so that king Hussein can walk down the streets of DC giving America the finger? We all know he lied again yesterday when he swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. He has nothing but disdain for the Constitution, because it gets in the way of building his kingdom.

According to this string, Bud, it appears that he would be in an armored limo, not walking.

Bud Hall

Exactly who is the "we" in your statement "We all know he lied again yesterday..."?

He took the same oath 4 years ago and has upheld it faithfully to date, I see no reason that his behavior would change over the next 4 years.

Now, if you really mean that President Obama will not do what you and your "friends" want in the manner you want him to, that does not equate to his violating his oath of office, that just means that you can't stand to lose, and like a spoiled brat, you still want your way in all things.

Good Luck

Well Bud, if "they" would stop threatening him then "we" would not have to pay. Did you have this concern after 43's second inauguration or 40's second one? Why all the concern now?

Bush rode Air Force One to each and every of his NUMEROUS "working vacations" at his ranch in Crawford, Texas that he took so he personally could clear the brush there (photo ops all the way). In his eight years in office, Bush took 1,020 days "vacation". ALMOST THREE of his EIGHT years. By contrast, President Obama has spent approximately 84 days on vacation during his first term. This is the three weeks a year that many middle class professionals earn. And, in fairness, in the case of both Bush and Obama, they were "on call" during all of this time.

His Party Agenda is not communism or even true socialism so much as turn the most successful Republic in the history of the world into another failed Nanny-State based on the European model. After two generations of indoctrination in the public school system the sheep actually call it "progressive" rather than just a repeat of the collapse of every form of Democracy in recorded history

Unsurprisingly, you're both wrong: He does a hard job well, is all.

Unemployment peaked at 10% in 2009 and is now down to 7.8% and dropping.

The Dow was under 8,000 and is now well over 13,000.

Housing prices are rising. My mortgage is above water now.

Housing starts are up.

The deficit has been going down for three years now.

The Iraq Abortion is over and we are getting out of Afghanistan.

OBL is dead. Mission Accomplished.

All of this and more in spite of your do nothing house and a record number of filibusters year after year. Almost 400 filibusters in the last 2 years alone. That right there is the only accomplishment you republicons can point to.

mik..........

there is another accomplishment the republican/terrorist party can be proud of. because of lies about wmd's and mushroom clouds mr 'national guard no-show' bush and mr dickless' 5 deferment' cheney killed twice as many Americans than the 911 terrorists did. they must be proud of that.

Its easy yo see you never served other than tables eh.

I know I shouldn't but just can't stop.

George W. Bush's Resume

The official date for a president to be sworn in is January 20th. If it falls on a Sunday then the official public swearing in will be on Monday.

It does not matter who the president is the rule is the same for all. Your comment is useless.

psps, he can't finish a sentance without a tele-prompter,probably going to take the justice a few trial runs,before he can take the whole oath without screwing up. and that nobel prize thing-shame,i thought it meant something but apparently not!

@!$%#-you.........Thanks, I forgot for a moment about the telepromptor, that explains everything.I feel a little better now that I know the truth.

Ahh the mindless ramblings of the brain dead republicons.....It smells of Victory.

@!$%#you and pcp.........

@!$%#you will you please stop sucking pcp's joint. He says it is getting sore.

i make a remark i know to be true and i'm sucking someones joint? you make no sense. you must be a liberal.

Wow! The mental midgets of the far right are out in force today. You know they have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING when they bring up the teleprompter nonsense. EVERY PRESIDENT IN MODERN TIME has used a teleprompter - including Reagan. We understand you didn't think Bush used one since even reading a sentence on a screen was difficult for him!

psp, TRY reading the article. word for word. and TRY comprehending it. i know it must be hard, but try. it explains WHY he was sworn in today in 'private'. and the inauguration ceremony is TOMORROW. if you can't read and comprehend, there are adult classes in your community to help you. provided by the government. please sign up for one today!

The answer is 7. This has happened 7 times in the history of inaugurations. Does that answer your question or are you really asking why does the Black guy get to do it?

Tired, I think he just wants to know why the black guy needs so much practice. Does he have a reading disability, or something?

Sorry, but you made race an issue....I just ran with it. Get used to it......times are changing.

Maybe he does, then again, when someone asks an obvious question you provide the answer. Yes times are changing and if you come anywhere near me with that racist crap only the Lord knows the outcome.

Not a threat, just standing my ground. Get used to it.

doesn't come close to dick the dark cheney and tax dollars for torture... be proud of that... teatard.

You republicons are the last ones to talk about liars. You are the experts at it.

You lied 935 verified times before going into the Iraq Abortion.

Bush/vheney led the most corrupt administration since Reagan/Bush, and even trumped them. Outing an active undercover CIA agent trumps selling guns and drugs out of the White House, doesn't it?

Study: Bush, aides made 935 false statements in run-up to war - CNN

They never bring up Iran Contra under the reagan years. Reagan even admitted to the crime. He just pleaded Alzheimer's.

Your idiots. Your democratic controlled house and senate VOTED on going to Iran. They no longer get the chance to vote. Obama thinks he's king and by passes the laws of the land on a daily basis. In fact he's a criminal. As far as I'm concerned, I'm waiting for him to go straight to hell.

So much hate on these blogs. The people have voted and now the country celebrates a great tradition. The republican party will learn and change for the better, but I suspect many of you hateful posters will not, so troll on as the country passes you by!!

God bless america and God bless our president!!

Yes, Jeff, we should all be as nice and respectful as the Democrats in here.......that would be special. We could all have our own special little nicknames that use words like teabagger, c*nt and tard.........ohhhh, utopia.

It will be too late by then.

That will be 2024 at the earliest. Another Democrat will follow President Obama in 2016. This is a good day for America!

if we get another bush clone in there he should be able to re-destroy our country and economy in less than a year.

@ miklkit... Well at least we can agree that he is not an American.

chief1055 - only those with an IQ below 40 still claim our President isn't an American. So sorry for your disability!

What chief and others mean is when there is another White male in the office. They won't say it out in the forum but we all know that is what they mean. That is where that stupid "take back our country" crap came from. Take what back? How in the hell did the rest of us get kicked out and it is only "yours". Go soak your head, better yet go hunting with Dick "deadeye" Cheney!

The next time a white man is elected as president it will be a Dem one. You GOP are so mess up in your thinking. That Muppet face Mitch in the senate should be ashamed of himself. I taught when you are elected to congress your number one job is to work for the people that elected you, not to try and make the elected president a one timer.

Republican leaders got together recently in a private room and decided to make President Obama only a TWO TERM president....oh wait...

Yes, Tired, it's all about race. Let me ask, do you have a sleeping disability, or is throwing the race card so often what makes you tired?

Fortunately , unRep. bonehead nor Sen. Ronald McCONnell are getting sworn in, so your propaganda is moot.

I'm sure I saw the Lincoln Monument hang his head and wait is that a tear!!!

no president has faced more and turned around to look the other way,is more like it.more time on the golf course in one year then little georgie did in 8,and more vacations too, but HE'S a GREAT PREZ! i guess i'll just go "cry on my pillow" for the next 4 yrs. as the libs who support this fool are going to say. i'm just going to wait and i'll be the first to say "I TOLD YOU SO!" i love that saying(means i was right and YOU didn't listen)and i can wait a few years, don't worry.

@!$%#_you, your comment attempts to twist history, and for this, I must rebuke you. Your hatred is laughably apparent. Your credibility is demolished. Now go look up "vacation time" and you will find that George Bush Jr spent more time on vacation than any President since . . . Ronald Reagan. While you froth in impotent rage, your current President has garnered an impressive legislative track record against some real obstruction in a very trying economic climate . . . yes, the one handed to him by the prior administration. The amazing and frightening thing is to hear you hateful people wish Obama so poorly that you don't care that as the Presidency goes, so goes America. Have you no desire to work with what you have? Have you no interest in your fellow Americans? Is your hate so supreme? Shameful.

F you: The country is improving. I told you so.

i love my fellow americans and we will get through this.it is after-all only four years. i am for responsible government and this one is not,i don't blame the "figure head" that is prez. i blame the congress that we voted in for not addressing the issues that are important,enough of this partisan crap. it's ALL OF THEM. they don't have OUR interest in mind at all. i don't attempt to twist history,from 2006-2008 the democratic majority did nothing.it was an attempt to win the whitehouse,and it worked,to our good? i think not.les i wish it was,we shall see.

G.W. Bush was the most absentee President in history. Next was reagan.

Clinton was one of the best presidents. Obama is not doing what he told America he was going to do. But at least we don't have Romney.

And we thankfully don't have Ronald Reagan who the Republicans love so much. A man who said that he hated the very government that he led. A man who spewed hatred for "welfare mothers." A man who said that he would balance the budget and cut the debt, even as he ran record budget deficits and expanded the national debt by the largest percentage in modern history. And a man who engineered the Iran Contra scandal which was illegal and impeachable, and who simply said that he couldn't remember the illegal acts that it was solidly documented that he had committed. A man who incorporated in his presidency the ignorance and stupidity of George W. Bush and the criminality of Richard Nixon.

Clinton will be considered one of the best, but Obama is nothing more than a puppet. He even has a string that makes him act more or less black or white.........he's a fraud.

I read your post. I rest my case.

Why do you ask leading questions and ignore that this President has CUT spending more than previous Presidents?

Lying. It is the republicon way.

Who cares? The issue is not whether he is half-white, the issue is he is a Democratic Party member. It is given that, because of that single fact, his parties agenda makes his priorities and loyalties in conflict with the interests of the Republic and the citizens who were foolish enough to put him in office.

I care it sends a statement to his arabies that he is still one of them, everything he carefully says makes sure he is still representing the foreign people that put him in office that he is still one of them.

hey p... red and black are very popular colors in fashion... period... but you rock on with your bad self... until your haters meeting starts.

psp: CLAIMS ,"Red and Black are Africa colors . Obamas are always wearing Red and Black at our American ceremonies." No proof = NO fact.

Propaganda Spewers Proselytize

Oopsie - Maryland has red and black in their flag. Is Maryland part of Africa?

psp prefers that he wear kkk white.

psp, are you proposing that we ban that color combination in American culture? Well, at least the Atlanta Falcons have some down time now to figure what to do with their uniforms for next year.

You deserve an award of some sort for that comment. I'm not sure what exactly, but it would be written in Crayolas...maybe red and black.

As a wise man once stated " The problem with Democracy is the people get the government they deserve". Or as Winston Churchill said "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

Dragon you are proof of both statements .......... An example of why the founders of the Republic tried so hard to prevent direct democracy and what happens after time to every failed Republic in recorded history.

The teatard whining and hate filled behavior never ends... in fact... they maybe more toxic than ever... no wonder they are killing the repuke party... amf

alot of name calling there-leftward bound- NOWHERE do you ever write,my fellow americans.i will be sure to tell you "i told you so" after this fiasco is over. people not liking this prez are put in the "teatard" catagory? another kid saying "i won haha" we'll get to see what you "won" won't we?

the scumtards haters in this country need to be called out... the teatards are destroying the republican party and are a dying lot...

then if their dying off like you say,why would you care? haters? there are some but"we can't dislike this fool and his propoganda(notice i didn't write policy,because he has none that pertain to the welfare of this country for the "good") because you say so? or we are teatards? your comments tell us who the fool really is.

the more their ugliness is exposed the better... they are the number one reason you just lost an election... they belittle their own value everytime one of you hatetards open your mouth! Spending four years following birtherism makes you a real genius... no have no place to call anyone a fool, you.

leftward,

Some of us just aren't as inclined to take it up our a$$ just to secure the Presidents media image. But, you go right ahead. Your idea of the promised land is different than 47% of us. Don't forget, our 47% pays most of the way to allow you to take it up the a$$ everyday.

Leftward ........ The Democratic Party uses divisive, hate, class warfare and class envy as standard political tactic. You post proves that it is effective.......Destructive but effective.

RepubgnantCONs use mirroring techniques AKA projection, or 'I know you are, but what am I?' NONsense, but it's more than evident who the haters are: they most often hate, they have NO solutions, and they rave about the other individual AND do the same themselves. Oh yes, one more thing, they use exaggerated/feigned anger to manipulate and intimidate.

Believe me we contribute!

the teatard contribution is whining and constant hate language... very special... they would not recognize a decent human being... hate is a very restrictive agenda!

culheath,

"sounds like" doesn't make it so. As for the whining, that's all we've heard from the Left for 4 years! Take a look in the mirror and see the stark reality of your own keyboard ranting.

Leftward .... the most predominate "Hate" message I see here is yours. The standard tactic of assigning any post that disagrees with your indoctrination to the Republican Party or the hateful comments about the Populist Movement just relegates you to the simple-minded category of " I am a Democrat, therefore I have no need to think". Life is not as simple as your party overseers would have you believe.

dr821

culheath,

"sounds like" doesn't make it so.

Yeah, except but at least 53% of us outside of you whiners knows it's true.

As for the whining, that's all we've heard from the Left for 4 years! Take a look in the mirror and see the stark reality of your own keyboard ranting.

I spent a lot of my time this last year working for the Obama campaign and getting people registered to vote and then driving people to the polls. What did you do to help the political process? What have you got of your own to offer beyond your mewling criticism of me?

really leftward ? i've read thru this whole page and the only thing i have seen you post is hate. Hypocrite much ?

Very evident , yes.

I would not hold my hand on my A$$ for the Moderator "sorry Sally" to do anything about your violation of the forum Code of Conduct "TruthBeTold." What a hypocrite??!! You talk other people being "haters," yet I see nothing but hate on your part. I have no issue whatsoever in saying that I HATE CREATURES LIKE YOU!!! Obama is 666, and you can go to Hell with him; I have read all the way to the end, and it is not over until we win.

MetaTron - hmmmmm - your post implies an individual who didn't take their meds today. Anyone who would post as you have might want to remedy that!

I want to see uphold the Constitution. No overstepping of our rights and laws. Yeah I know the other presidents did also dosn't make it legai. moral, or right. Our righyd are there for a reason. Leave them alone. You work for us whether we voted for you or not. This isn't the country I grew up in. I feel sorry for my kids and grand kids.

whatsnext....you SHOULD feel sorry for your grand kids. here's an idea, tell your children to stop pro-creating if it's so bad.

If you really want to see the Constitution upheld, you're going to have to see all of it upheld... not just the second amendment.

Will you give up three strikes just because the Constitution forbids double jeopardy? That would mean a lot of minorities getting out of prison.. "Law and Order Conservatives" generally like a big powerful police system..

Are you ready to require the feds need warrants for wire taps and have to press charges when they arrest someone?

Are you ready to have a free press? What if it meant Julian Assange had a right to publish government leaks? (Those leaks endangered no one, btw..that was all Obama propaganda)

The Constitution is messy. The rule of law means freedom. Wouldn't you rather that things stay as they are...as long as you have your guns, I mean?

Can you even imagine not having to testify against yourself even if a judge said you had to? Even if you were granted immunity? Even if it was the IRS?

What if Congress had to declare war? What if they wouldn't get us into wars like Afghanistan?

Sensible US citizens dislike the whole idea of freedom. What if the federal government did not have the authority to make pot illegal?

Are you actually willing to let folks smoke pot just to keep the rule of law and the tenth amendment? Of course not.

The 2nd amendment was never meant to be permanent or unchangeable. No amendments were. This is why the Founders included provisions for adding, changing and removing amendments. The sad thing is that people are actually talking about revolutions because of the 2nd. What's most likely is these fearful conservatives would not wait until their rights were infringed but rather take pre-emptive action based on what "might" happen. Remember conservative polls declaring Romney as winning by a landslide? These are scary people.

Congratulations Mr. President. I wonder if, after end of the next 4 years, when the economy and jobs are further improved and the Constitution has remained intact, any of these "haters" will have the character to apologize for the lies they've spread about you and the gratuitous division they've created? Doubt it.

Yes, changed by congress and the people, not by a dictator.

save this country from the toxic tea billy hacks

Has education been dumbed down so much that citizens as simple minded as Leftward actually believe the popular vote has anything to do with electing the position of the executive branch????? The Constitution was specifically designed to prevent that from happening. Four times in the history of the Republic it succeeded:
Four candidates won the popular vote but lost the presidency: Andrew Jackson won the popular vote but lost the election to John Quincy Adams (1824); Samuel J. Tilden won the popular vote but lost the election to Rutherford B. Hayes (1876); Grover Cleveland won the popular vote but lost the election to Benjamin Harrison (1888); Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the election to George W. Bush (2000).
