If you think of the United States of America as a store, its recent decisions and scandals resemble a sale, perhaps a fire sale. Or maybe even a Going Out of Business sale.
The list of dramatic markdowns is breathtaking. They include trading away five murderous terrorists for a likely Army deserter, an open invitation to tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to cross the Mexican border, and a decision to recognize the terrorist group Hamas as part of the Palestinian government.
On the home front, environmental regulations will cost thousands of coal miners their jobs and drive up the cost of electricity for millions. The ObamaCare mess is hardly resolved, and the Veterans Affairs scandal keeps getting worse. The acting agency head reported the deaths of 18 more vets who were kept off the official waiting list in Phoenix.
Ticking quietly in the background is the mother of all threats an Iranian nuclear bomb. That ticking grew louder last week as the ayatollah mocked our nation by standing in front of a banner that proclaimed, America cannot do a damn thing.
Technically, hes wrong. Its not that we cannot stop the mad mullahs march. Its that President Obama has taken the military option off the table, and without it, Iran has nothing to fear. Ours was a choice.

“Driving”?
The Obama era shows us what happens, when you elect someone who is very very liberal. When you elect someone who is an acoloyte of Saul Alinsky to be president. When you elect someone who is so beholden to liberal ideology, regardless of the real world consequences of his/her policies.
I sure hope the next president is not another liberal acolyte of Saul Alinsky.
Near Future , Where are you from , I’m an American citizen , LOL fool everyone has one of those
Well, duh.
I hear Truman defeated Dewey.
There should be some recourse in the law, against this misfeasance and malfeasance of office. Impeachment, and removal from office are politically impossible at this time, no matter how harsh the Articles of Impeachment would necessarily be.
But applying the provisions of the RICO act, and treating the Current Regime as a vast crime syndicate, may be a useful course on which to proceed. Since we could not use the Department of Justice, itself hopelessly corrupted, a Special Prosecutor would have to be relied upon.
Its what happens when you elect someone who hates you.
The next president will be Hillary Clinton. I don’t really know why anyone is still thinking it might be anyone else. But I agree, it matter when the president is someone who likes America a little, even if they are self-serving.
and it has started with Hillary , everyone should just save time and money and declare Hillary President
Maybe Hillary’s 6-figure speaking fees will make her “like” America enough not to continue ruining it.
Doesn’t the author means “has driven”?
“Obama is driving the country to ruin”
Just figuring that out, are you?
From the beginning this fool has been put in power to destroy America and he is getting away with it..
If you have followed Barack Hussein Obamas meteoric rise to power, youve noticed that anyone asking questions about his background typically finds him or herself on the receiving end of the Alinsky Attack Machine. Any criticism of Obama is permanently branded RAAACIST! Anyone who inquires about the many mysteries surrounding his missing years or his activities while in college and in his early days in Chicago is called every name in the book in the efforts to discredit that questioner.
This means Obama is never asked about the men he sleeps with
Hes never questioned about his ongoing drug use
He doesnt have to worry about being asked whether hes sober during national crises
He never has to account for his whereabouts when disasters strike and America expects its president to be fully aware, present, and in charge.

“I sure hope the next president is not another liberal acolyte of Saul Alinsky.”
I hope the next Pres is not a marxist, murderer, homosexual, muslim, non-citizen who hates us.
Obama has told us what he wants to do by declaring himself to be a “citizen of the world”.
When looked at from the perspective of an American president trying to defend the constitution and do what’s best for America as a sovereign nation much of what Obama has done makes no sense; the Taliban release, the Keystone Pipeline, deferring to Iran on nukes, the dismantling of our military and on and on.
However, look at all these things from the perspective of someone trying to usher in an era of global government under the U.N., where the United States would have to be a weakened subservient client state. Every thing Obama has done makes perfect sense in that case.
He’s neither stupid nor insane, unfortunately.
The terrible thing is that Obama is still enthusiastically supported by a large part of the US population. They just showed the movie, ‘Judgement at Nuremberg’ on a local TV station. I know someone will invoke Gresham’s law but the situation here has a lot of parallels to Germany and Hitler in the 1930’s. Hitler was wildly popular in Germany until the very end. Even after Germany was being destroyed by bombing with their cities in ruins the people did not rise up to get rid of him.
At least the Germans had the excuse that they had just lost a war, gone through a ruinous hyperinflation, and were in the depths of the depression of the 1930’s. What is our excuse for electing this America hating communist twice?
The amount of money spent on "green" projects that were actually means to transfer money to the democratic machine were some of the more criminal offenses of this president and are hardly mentioned anymore and mostly forgotten but the impact of which will be felt for generations.
