Obama's doing a much better job than most people ackowledge: Farmer
The Times of Trenton ^ | December 21, 2014 | John Farmer

Politics is predictably unpredictable. So it’s no surprise that President Obama, after a hellacious 11 months, is finishing his sixth year on an unpredictably strong note.

The U.S. economy is sitting up and taking nourishment, recovering nicely. Vladimir Putin, whom Republicans like Rudy Giuliani were fawning over as a “real leader” in contrast to our pusillanimous president, is gasping for air as the Russian economy sinks under the weight of Obama-led sanctions and a U.S. energy surge.

Having stuck a thumb in the eye of the GOP with his immigration initiative, Obama used another digit on the Grand Old Partisans last week by paving the way for improved relations with Cuba. The Cuban old guard in Miami is irate but they’re all Republican revanchists, anyway. And U.S. business loves it...

The country is benefiting from jobs created in the oil patch and from lower fuel costs. King Obama had nothing to do with that, in fact he fought against it and still fights against it. And it’s not yet a fact that the economy has turned any corner at all. The best that can be said is that it has flat-lined but it could fall off a cliff again as it did in 2008-2009.

Did Baghdad Bob open up a journalism school?

Possibly.
The question, though, is if it'll be as funny as The Onion.

Economic sanctions are sinking Putin, but 50 years of economic sanctions empowered Castro and never work against Iraq....but will work against Afghanistan and Iraq the second time around?

I get so weary of this repeated “it only works when ‘we’ do it” foolishness.

Does this guy even wonder about the methane taste he’s getting from the orifice he’s sucking?

True that a lot of people don’t admit, yet, what he’s all about.

Buses race trash up to NY for "Christmas". Did those executions yesterday affect his golf at all?

Democrats

The Democrat Party's no longer a political party; it's now become nothing more than an Obama Cult. The closest historic parallel we have to this Obama Cult is the followers of the James Warren (Jim) Jones Cult who, at the behest of Jim Jones, willingly killed themselves with cyanide laced Kool-Aid, and, of course, both Jim Jones and Obama were “Community Organizers,” and both were/are avowed Marxist Communists with membership in the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The only difference between the Obama Cult and the Jim Jones Cult, other than the enormous size of the Obama Cult, is that Jim Jones offered his followers poisoned Kool-Aid at the end, and Obama is offering his followers revolution, but the end result is the same: their followers perish.

Of course the price of gas is going down. It’s a matter of supply and demand. Supply is up thanks to fracking and demand is down thanks to the number of people who no longer have to drive to work.

Well that makes perfect sense that he’s shilling for Baraq, since Baraq 2.0 (aka FauxCahontas) is a Rutgers gal.

When the energy prices were low when Bush was President they said it was because the economy was doing poorly.

Lies that is all you ever hear these days.
