Why dont you simplify your responses here to, "None of it's the fault of the President."? nm rhett o rick May 2014 #299

Because some of them are the fault of the President jeff47 May 2014 #306

Exact opposite, half of his country almost has made it ONLY about Obama and randys1 May 2014 #156

I was being polite with you. You respond with insults. Maedhros May 2014 #108

It is an insult to say "My ass" in a response to your post? randys1 May 2014 #157

With one exception, every item listed in the OP is the result of one of Obama's appointments JDPriestly May 2014 #124

Fuck the party, has nothing to do with that randys1 May 2014 #72

I agree, now you point me to anyone capable of being President who is better randys1 May 2014 #400

Yes, Carlin called it. But I also need to point out that Jackpine Radical May 2014 #73

And, they think he should fix everything that has been broken for 200 yrs randys1 May 2014 #81

Nope. Pushing to fast-track TPP is not a failing of 200 year old policy. TPP is a today policy and Ed Suspicious May 2014 #88

My problem is with 'secret' activities in that vein. Erich Bloodaxe BSN May 2014 #206

I agree with the secrecy part. We need more transparency. randome May 2014 #221
