Bad news comes, and then it goes, often replaced by good news.

About the only good news that can come from the Obama administration is that it is over.

The Current Occupant of the White Hut possessed magic?

Who knew?

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Didn’t Peter, Paul & Mary have a cute little ditty they sang, “Barack, the Magic Negro”?

Try getting that one out of your head.

Another number cruncher.

“Understand yourself and understand your opponents and in one hundred battles you will not be defeated.”

The Democrats hired a room full of sociologists and psychologists to help them win the last election. They didn’t just COUNT votes, they PRODUCED votes for the Democrats. The Democrats take advantage of people’s feelings. Why don’t we?

Magic is not needed when you are holding a gun in your hand.

Epiphany.

The media strives to divide the country as evenly as possible with their coverage so that THEY get to determine the outcome of elections. The media’s goal is to have everything 49-49 and they, the media, try to sway one way or the other.

Obama never HAD magic all he had was
poor slight of hand and a willing media assistant.

BS. This is just the GOP claiming victory and doing a victory lap rather than engage the kenyan on obamacare or the scandals. Boehner and crew can’t wait to weasel out of a political brawl and head to some vacation fun. Expect more of the same when they get back. Anything to avoid confrontation with the Dems. Once again these beltway GOP losers can’t wait to leave the heavy listing to the electorate.

The best indicator of a PHONY ADMINISTRATION is the number of its REAL SCANDALS.

Commie Obama’s talking points are thus smokescreen distractions for the products of Obama’s first 4 years in office:

* Refusal to close US Southern Border to Mexican illegal alien invaders
* No known un-forged records of Place of Birth
* No known un-forged records of University grades
* Benghazi Massacre
* Dereliction of Duty as CIC during Benghazi Massacre
* Cover up of Benghazi Massacre
* Destruction of Seal Team Six
* Cover up of Fast and Furious murder of US Border Agent by Exec. Order
* IRS-Obama’care” Commune Death Grip on Wealth and Health
* NSA-Gestapo Death Grip on all citizen’s communications
* Use Courts against News Media
* Use of Supreme Court to install Un-Constitutional Obama’care’ Tax
* Destruction of the US Coal Industry
* Refusal to permit XL Pipeline construction
* Trillion Dollar a year Federal Overspending
* Monthly violations of the US Constitution by Obama
* Use of Exec. Orders to bypass Congress

The media is holding up a failure and if is seen as a failure they fail, so round and round we go

So can someone tell me why the RINOs like John McCrazy are so eager to tie their boats to that sinking ship?

Immigration is a loser for the nation until we get illegal immigration under control. No one really opposes immigration, we oppose ILLEGALS.

“Magic”

“the art of producing illusions as entertainment by the use of sleight of hand, deceptive devices, etc...”

As defined here:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/magic?s=t

I, however, have not found the last five years to be entertaining at all.

When your PR team is the MSM, you don’t need magic.

When will his pretenses, obfuscating, and outright lying to the people he serves that perpetuates tyranny upon his idealogical enemies by imposing oppressive edicts, while denying Constitutionally guaranteed liberty likewise diminish?

That's the article I want to read.
