Knobhead Obama has given Israel $10 billion in Military aid,the biggest in the countries history,I suppose they will build more walls,take away more lands from the Palestinians and kill more of anybody they don't, like meanwhile the west who police the world will keep quiet about it.Israel are allowed to break all the laws.

He was good but not his best.

You just seem to repeat FAUX news talking points without trying to get some knowledge on subject

I read that. Sounds like a decent spin on things.

Let's put it in layman terms.

Here's what WashingtonTimes is saying:

$20 trillion man: National debt nearly doubles during Obama presidency

When President Obama signs into law the new two-year budget deal Monday, his action will bring into sharper focus a part of his legacy that he doesn’t like to talk about: He is the $20 trillion man.

Mr. Obama’s spending agreement with Congress will suspend the nation’s debt limit and allow the Treasury to borrow another $1.5 trillion or so by the end of his presidency in 2017. Added to the current total national debt of more than $18.15 trillion, the red ink will likely be crowding the $20 trillion mark right around the time Mr. Obama leaves the White House.

When Mr. Obama took over in January 2009, the total national debt stood at $10.6 trillion. That means the debt will have very nearly doubled during his eight years in office, and there is much more debt ahead with the abandonment of “sequestration” spending caps enacted in 2011.

That’s basically due to the Iraq and Afghan being on a credit card before and not calculated as partof the debt during the Bush 8 years

Obama took over with the US economy in tatters.

8 years later and the dollar is once again strong, the job outlook is positive, people are spending, and the overall economic situation is much healthier.

America and Americans have a lot to be thankful for

Perhaps. Either way, the debt doubled. No IF's or BUT's...

It was bad indeed.

8 years later and the dollar is once again strong,
ok, good.

the job outlook is positive,
actually, statistics don't tell the whole story. Depends on how it's being calculated and where you're getting your data from. College students are graduating and coming home to live with their parents in drove more now than before.

people are spending,
people always spend. Some spend what they don't have. Spending, therefore, don't mean crap.

and the overall economic situation is much healthier.
maybe, maybe not. that's too ambiguous of a statement.

America and Americans have a lot to be thankful for
YES, indeed. However, that can be said for ANYONE who wakes up every morning, under a roof, healthy and gets to live another day, happily so.

The comedian was excellent, he was actually pretty ruthless, which is something that doesn't go down well at the Correspondents dinner.

Obama was hilarious as well. He probably isn't writing his own jokes, but I'm sure he could.

 
Devin 2016-05-02 17:42:18 

If I'm not mistaken, even the guest comedians have their jokes written for them.

 
POINT 2016-05-02 20:47:04 

For the Record , quoting the Washington
Times is feces , it is and has always been a Right Wing Toilet Paper .

It is very interesting , that for eight
freaking years , the Republicans decide
that they were not going to cooperate with President Obama .

Mitch McConnell publicly stated that
his nuwiority was to ensure that the President was a one term President .

In this first term as President , while Obama & his wife were attending
the Inauguration Balls ; Newt Gingrich and other Top Republican Officials were plotting in a swank upscale Restaurant to say NO to everything that President Obama proposed .

It would have been nice if People in this Forum quote from reputable Sources . The Washington Times aint a
reputable source .

Fact: Brian Lara scored 400* in a test match.

Whether cricinfo or Washington Times reported that news... it doesn't matter since it can be verified as IT'S A FACT.

It's amazing how some people get their panties in a knot whether something is right-wing or left-wing and it stops them in their tracks immediately. They can't think further. They don't allow themselves.

When they can take the info reported and debate it is what really matters; not immediately get bent out of shape.

I'm affiliated with neither of those main parties, hence I couldn't vote in the primaries.

When the general election comes, by then I would have assessed all relevant candidates and then make an informed decision. simple. sheesh
