Hi BOG. A post in support of the president and his policies.

Yes, that's it, not a post about anything else, no sir!

I love that the president is doing so well and anticipate greater things as we struggle toward the midterms and, later, the 2016 season.

Keep in mind that for his policies to work we need a congress that won't be obstructionist, so be sure to put some effort toward making that happen!

Hi, BOG!

years now that he needs to just snap one time. If anyone has seen Key & Peel on comedy central you know what I'm talking about.

He has made great strides & has had to put up with some major bullshit that no other Pres has ever, ever seen & he needs to put them in check.

and the media describe it as a temper tantrum. If that's so, and he ever does really explode, I'm gonna hide under the bed.

And I guess I'd better have more ponderous things to say or a certain lurker will accuse me of fluff and filler again, asking if that makes me feel like I've accomplished something for the day. In contrast to his helpful expositions.

Well, what can I say? It's firecracker season.

I didn't recognize him so I just assumed you were from Illinois. Don't really know much about Sen. Menendez except for that travel-gate business which I figured was a hit job from the get-go and didn't pay much attention to. Being from the left coast it takes us a little longer to work these things out lol.

for all the crap he has dealt with. listening to him on charlie's show was affirming of his steady minded thinking.
but, i would love to take him on a backpacking trip to the redwoods, on the lost coast, along some wild rivers, into the rockies and down through the grand canyon to get him more connected to the earth. perhaps, then, he would have more allegiance to the environment than to his east coast corporate cronies.

Look, as bad as stuff is sometimes, just imagine if it were romney in charge now. Just imagine if it was still the blight of bush/cheney.

No he's NOT perfect, okay? He does stuff I disagree with. But as someone else here pointed out - we got Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. They got jerks like alito and scalia. Nuff said.

I hate when they totally hide things that I get here too late to see! But then, I also hate it when they don't enforce the group standards, too. So maybe I should make my peace with it.

30. "The remarkable consistency of President Obama’s job approval numbers"
Thu Jun 20, 2013, 08:19 PM
Jun 2013

is very Encouraging for the majority of sanity in this country, SKP. Those whose only job it is .. to take down the President are failing. And, that looks good for the upcoming elections.

Here's to being even stronger in Nov 2014.

New numbers from Pew Research Center tell that story. Forty nine percent of respondents approved of the job President Obama while 43 percent disapproved. Those numbers are remarkably unchanged from where Obama stood in a January Pew poll despite the fact that the past five and a half months have seen the failure of the White House’s attempt to change gun laws, the IRS scandal, evidence of an improving economy, the NSA revelations and plenty of other “major” news events.

And born in the USA would have gone to useful project to further advance the USA we would be really far in the recovery. If the efforts of the House had gone to jobs programs instead of repealing ACA, think how many functioning jobs programs we could be working on.
