their political character must soon follow…..
These considerations should lead to an attentive solitude…
to be religiously careful in our choice of all public officers….
and judge of the tree by its fruits.”

The face in the White House is meaningless.
A black face cannot “destroy values” if the values weren’t present to begin with.
People have to stop blaming others for their personal shortcomings.
It’s part of growing up.
Doesn’t stop the one at the top from doing damage either way.
Although B. Hussein Obama has an aversion to taking credit for his abundant failures, lies, and criminal acts, B. Hussein did a credible job of describing just what his failures were in last night’s State of the Obamanation Failed Union Speech.
B,. Hussein waxed eloquent on his description of how the Keynesian “Prime the Pump” stimulus theory of economics has failed without ever mentioning Keynes, or economic stimulus.
It was a masterful slight of hand speech, worthy of B. Hussein’s reputation as a consummate lying, con-artist, (pardon the redundancy).
Now that Commie Obama has been forced to admit that Communism (Mandatory Universal Federal Medical Insurance Tax, aka Obamacare), Economic Stimulus, Fed-controlled low interest rates, and Constitutional violations have made the last 5 years a living Hell for The Middle Class in America, the question I have is as follows:
“Who in the RINO Wing of the Republican Party has learned NOT to repeat what B. Hussein has proven for 5 years to be failed Federal Government policy?”
What say all of you?
A person with authority can do physical damage.
Moral authority resides inside a person only.
Read Elie Wiesel, who forgave the Nazis and only asked the world to take personal responsibility for their actions.
Ping for the top.
Well, there was Mitt Romney...
small quibbles aside,
“Right On, Bro!”
Obama has not destroyed our values.
Obama’s presidency is the result of us having lost our values, as a nation.
We ALWAYS get the politicians we deserve.
Quite right. Obama is more a symptom of the disease than the actual disease.
As the late, great George Putnam often said, “The fish stinks from the head.”
You can only really forgive someone who repents or does something out of ignorance.
Wiesel got a bit too soft on Obama after meeting with him over the “peace process” in Israel.
Only a weak nation tolerates bad leaders.
I suspect O!Bama! gained considerable charming skills on his way up the affirmative action ladder.
Met a lot like him when I worked corporate management.
Well, even though I oppose the general granting of amnesty to illegal aliens, I actually agree with this hypothetical, so the author has certainly lost his case with me here. The difference is that nonviolent drug use is a victimless crime, while illegal immigration hurts all taxpayers including me, because they receive services which I am forced to pay for. While it's true I also pay for incarceration of nonviolent drug offenders, that isn't an expense caused by the drug criminals, it's caused by the drug prohibitionists.
Similarities between Obama’s America and the old Soviet Union are frightening and growing

The differences between the Old Soviet Union and Barack Obama’s America are dwindling away. This should be disturbing to all Americans but there are actually a certain percentage of our people, (Romney’s 47%) who believe 1984’s “Freedom is Slavery” motto and are happy being led around like farm animals. If you think we have been losing our freedoms you’re right. A recent American Thinker article, by a Russian émigré now living in the San Francisco area, paints a portrait of a drab suffocating existence under Communist rule, and made some solid comparisons between our lives today and the way he lived in Russia.
