I would put our legislative and foreign-policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln...

He doesn't even mention Washington, Jefferson, Madison or Monroe?

One thing Hussein has been clearly NUMERO UNO at...[shuffling of paper as envelope is opened]..."most destruction of America in a three-year period!"...[thunderous applause and roar of approval from leftists]

If we don't defeat the SOB next November, the America we love is gone.

He’ll be lucky if he isn’t run out of the country on a rail.

I’d be happy to supply the tar and feathers for the celebration.

Obama has been the best affirmative action president we’ve ever had.

The press needs to stop lying. Obama didn't say he was fourth best. He said he'd put his accomplishments up against anyone, with the possible exception of Lincoln, F.D.R., and Johnson.

That means he acknowledges one could argue that one or more of Lincoln, F.D.R., or Johnson accomplished the same or more. But he never said he would agree with them and he left it open that he could and would claim status as The Best. He never acknowledged that even Lincoln accomplished more, much less F.D.R. or Johnson.

Obama wasn't humble enough to claim he was only the fourth best President.

Well I’ll grant the turkey FIRST place in the area of the President who has hurt our country the most in my lifetime and probably in our entire history and I’m not young.

Obama's not even the fourth best President during his term. Mrs. Scoutmaster's second grade class has had two outstanding class presidents - and the student body has had one (out of two - the other was a slacker). And both of the student body president's at youngest daughter's high school have exceeded Obama.

So within ten miles of me, he's at best number six.

Most conservatives have known Obama was a socialist since before the election. All the signs were there. We’re not surprised.

But even we didn’t know much about Obama the man-the character of the man.

Now we know we’re dealing with a very flawed person. We know we’re dealing with a devious, self-centered person devoid of empathy, with a chip on his shoulder.

During the Ossowatomie speech, Obama for the first time came out as an overt socialist. Many had this revealed to them for the first time. The word can now be safely used to describe him.

The Steve Croft interview reveals the psychology of the man, and by any measure he can now be considered to dwell on the border of sanity.

We have a very sick man as President.

Well said.

It's disgusting but more than that it's scary to realize how easily the majority of voters were fooled into putting a person of his character in the WH.
