Years This Country Has Gone Through In My Lifetime' By Terence P. Jeffrey February 24, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama told a group of contributors at a campaign fundraiser in Florida on Thursday that his term so far has been "three of the toughest years this country has gone through in my lifetime."

"We've gone through three of the toughest years this country has gone through in my lifetime," Obama said, according to the White House transcript of his remarks.

"And there are a lot of people who are still hurting all across the country--a lot of people here in Florida, a lot of people everywhere," said Obama. "There are still folks whose homes are underwater because the housing market collapsed. There are people who are still struggling because they can't find a job. There are folks who are just barely able to make ends meet. And obviously those of us who are here, we've been incredibly blessed.

He has the power of satan, whom he likely believes mistakenly to be God leading him on his enchanted journey to “fundamentally transform” this horrid nation.

I recall some “religious” comment he made to the effect that all religions led to the supreme being. That was all the red flag I needed. A real Christian politician in a secular government (I know- a whole other discussion!) finds a tactful way to skirt such issues.

If you think his are bad...read Moochelle's thesis at Princeton.

I predict there will come a day when Princeton is humbled by and contrite about this experiment in "affirmative action."

I think he meant to say, “Three of the Toughest Years This Country Has Gone Through In My Lifetime, Thanks To ME.”

IMHO, he is not yet invested with the power of Satan. He is an obedient servant...but he does not yet possess Satan's power.

Not yet...

I think we are in agreement- Obama is not aware who his guardian “angel” really is. He just thinks he’s a lucky, smart guy with a destiny.

Don’t consider him more than that at this juncture. But, there is that mortal headwound scripture and an interesting scar that shows up in some pictures....

He and his ilk have made these the toughest three years of MY lifetime. I’ve never thought more about becoming expat if the unthinkable happens..but I am working on plan B and C just in case. Just about everything else involving my future plans is on hold until the morning of 11/07. By then I’ll know which direction the country is headed...and which way I’ll head.

Yes, under Carter interest rates were horrible for new car purchases, home purchases etc. They were GREAT for my grandparents and their CD’s though.

Obama might eventually be the “one”...but the “investment” of Satan hasn’t happened yet (or so it seems).

The “dreams” of his father rally suck. Yup! They’ve been the worst three years of my lifetime too.

I would wholeheartedly concur; never dreamed you’d have to watch an American leader for those signs, though.

Me neither.

But when one considers that America is the pinnacle of Judeo/Christian culture and religion...it makes sense that the Evil One would choose us as his target.

What better way (in his mind) to embarrass God.

Bingo:

You got that right. Without doubt the biggest POS to ever fly in Air Force One.

And the rest of his comment is: But one of the great things about America and one of the great things about those who are in professional sports is we've all got cousins, uncles, family members who are still struggling and are a reminder that we have a lot more work to do."

What in the world is that supposed to mean? I can't make any sense of the connection between "those of us who are in professional sports - being a great thing about America - and having (people who are struggling) a reminder of a lot more work to do." What in the world does that mean? What is great about sports professionals with struggling relatives in America? It makes no sense at all; just words/thoughts strung together that aren't related. He talks like someone high on drugs who thinks he is sounding profound or relevant. ---- And, why does he say "we" and "those of us" in professional sports? Why did he include himself? Since when did he become a sports professional?

The man is a master at making comments and speeches that are totally idiotic and confound anyone with a thinking mind, while the media and lemmings in America call him a great speaker and ignore the obvious stupidity of his nonsense.
