    Your opinion has been noted. But that is all that it is. He has an awful lot of support in this country as evidence by two elections. You won't see that unless you look.

    Small majorities don't last long, you only have to see the Gallup poll curve for the last five years to understand.

    I am broader of vision than that. The point, which you missed, has a lot to do with the upcoming elections. Obama will not be running! He is a lame duck President. Like all lame ducks, he no longer has to cater to opposition politics or the politics of his own party to get re-elected. They tend to do things that would not do in the first term and take a popularity hit because right now it doesn't matter one bit. But like Vee mentioned earlier, let him catch Al Zawahiri, kill some more Somali pirates, back down North Korea, or other popular effort and the curve goes back to positive once again.

    The bigger point that you want to ignore is that the GOP is wasting energy trying to castigate every Obama move when he is essentially finished with elections and has gotten his original election agenda passed. Now, instead of looking to 2016, the Republicans are being anti-Obama with regards to taking no military action in Iraq and being anti-Obama with regards to immigration reform. So they go into the elections favoring war in the middle east and against immigration reform, . . . two very unpopular policies that they will be married to. The party of No Clue. They have allowed Obama to be a lightning rod to protect Hillary and other democrats who are very much intending to win in 2016. Maybe in 2014 as well.

    Considering that Nazi's are for government ownership and control, it really is the left that supports euthanasia, abortion and population control as evidenced by the Administration's first science advisor Holdren. The fascist fringe is the left that pretends to be inclusive until you disagree with them and then it is Katy bar the door. And as much as you pretend to be a moderate, you are a shill for PBO.

    Sorry, fascism is a right wing extremist phenomenon and always has been. Nazi's were not about government ownership at all, they were very much a free enterprise economy with some of the biggest private corporations in the world. They were authoritarians regarding government but definitely extreme right-wing nationalists. It is why they were at such dire odds with the communist Russians. It was not the leftist Russians that practiced euthanasia, population control, and genocide.

    Whenever someone starts attacking me personally, I know that they have run out of logic and have nothing else to offer a discussion.

    No doubt they were right of the communists, but were still about national control of business and individual rights which makes them left of what you call "extreme" right wing Republicans who believe in limited government and personal freedom. As far as attacking you personally, you routinely patronize people by calling them "chief and amigo" while slamming them in posts. Pot see kettle...

    I've never understood how a politician could get up there and claim to be against government then ask for your vote.

    That's like homosexual priests clamoring that homosexuality is wrong.

    "We hate government except when we run it"

    What part of limited is so hard to understand? It is in the Constitution that they all allegedly swear to uphold and defend. Maybe if more took it to heart you could get all the herb you want...

    I do take it to heart. I don't think republicans do though. I think some democrats do but about 95% don't. I think all republicans are corporate shills for oil companies and things that destroy our ability to habitats this planet, and I think democrats are corporate shills for telecom, and big pharma. It's like ole captain jack said, the lesser of 2 weevils.

    I love the quote from Lucky Jack! Crowe was on his game for that one...all and some are pretty absolute. I think most politicians are in it for little more than themselves, but some play holier than thou. Pelosi, Reid and Boehner are really no different. Remember, O'Bama actually got more money from Wall Street than McCain did, even in the middle of a "crash".

    Since that election a lot has finally surfaced about his lying. And his first election cost the Democrats the House at mid term, if you recall. I saw a poll today that many placed him as the worst President since WWII.

    And grab your ass pal cause today the Surpreme Ct expanded on their Hobby Lobby decision. This will be another cinder block in the sinking pirogue we call Osamacare. The dumbass in the Whitehouse is an idiot. Really. It's hard to believe you can't see that. He makes Jimmy Carter look like Rambo.
