thanks,

It really is a corrupt government, when no one is holding him accountable and the MSM is cheering our demise. Still many months to go.

This one stuck out as indicative of Obama's puppet role:

• First President to Have a Law Signed By an 'Auto-pen' Without Being "Present"

Is that really a "first?"

I was wondering whether you’d get around to the “Fun Fact” of
golfing 90+ times during his first three yrs. in office.
That comes to at least once every twelve days—there are people who consider themselves golf freaks who don’t golf that much. People used to criticize Eisenhower for how much time he spend on the links. Eisenhower, however, had a REAL job before he was President, as we all remember. A couple of them actually.

Ping for reference, for discussions with libs. Although I’m so fed up with them it’s doubtful I’ll ever speak to some of them again.
