Comment preview: I don't mean this in a condescending way at all, but don't you think it's kind of interesting that you and so many others have not heard this? How did they trick so many people into believing the narrative that Obama ended the war, and shouldn't that give ....


Comment preview: A better story would be "Romney gets caught telling truth about Obama": In a rare gaff, Romney was caught referring to Mr. Obama as the President of the United States today. Romney was quoted as saying "President Obama is ruining this country by blowing up ....


Comment preview: Obama will obviously blow himself up while shaking hands with President-elect Trump at his 2016 inauguration. Edit: The exchange will go like this: Obama and Trump exit their limos in front of the US Capitol surrounded by secret service agents. Before step ....


Comment preview: > President Obama seems to believe he is a 'king' or 'emperor' I'm sorry, but if you believe that, especially in the context of the government being "in the midst of an identity crisis," you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the Presidency and need ....


Comment preview: I was born and raised in Pakistan but came to the U.S. when I was 18 so I never got to vote there. Now, after 17 long years, I am finally a U.S. citizen and will be eligible to vote here. In 2008, I felt sad that I was unable to vote for President Obama in ....

Comment preview: The President does NOT have a multi-billion dollar entourage when he travels. When he went to India some months back, his opponents in the US quickly picked up an absurd story in an obscure Indian newspaper which accused President Obama of taking 34 US Nav ....


Comment preview: WASHINGTON (AP) -- The nation remains in shock one day after a baffling State of the Union speech delivered by President Barack Obama that many political experts say will live "in infamy." For days, it was speculated that President Obama would touch on the ....

Comment preview: You ask a good question, but I'm afraid you are a bit confused. Brace yourself, because my post is going to make you very disillusioned with politics and possibly also very angry. (I've been there; believe me.) First of all, the military is NOT under the c ....


Comment preview: It's changed tremendously since they first met in the Senate. When Obama was in the Senate, Biden, who can be long winded, was talking in a meeting, and Obama passed an aide a note that said "Shoot. Me. Now." Even when Obama chose Biden as VP, there were h ....


Comment preview: I wonder about this. I agree, I think low information conservatives think that "impeach Obama" means remove him. But if that's the case, what is it they think would happen then? Do they think Mitt Romney would then become president since he was the first ....

Comment preview: Um.... This is American politics in a nutshell. We have a weak Presidency. We've ALWAYS had a weak presidency. And the President is always in danger of getting pushed around by Congress, and only the absolute strongest people we've elected President ha ....


Comment preview: Here's a question I have for the rest of the world, and it's as genuine a question as I can ask because I really am curious: Based on what you *currently* know of his policy proposals, do you believe that much of the world will continue to vilify the Presi ....


Comment preview: Why do you make the assumption that liberals who are furious with Obama do not know how the government works? I know a great deal about how it works and I know that President Obama has been milquetoast at best. He's been facing what can objectively be lab ....

Comment preview: I think there is a difference on foreign policy between Hillary Clinton and Obama/Biden/Kerry. Hillary Clinton has tried to distinguish herself from President Obama's foreign policy. When she was Secretary of State, she was one of the more hawkish members ....
