Obama makes GOP eat crow

It's nice to see him stand up for himself like this. This man isn't even running for re-election, yet he seems to have bashed the GOP pretty hard here, in my opinion.

[Kujako]

Crow can be quite tasty....

Well, the fact that the US President has taken to occupying his time with petty squabbles like a middle schooler on Facebook aside, most of the predictions were true.

The debt continues to rise, the true unemployment continues to mount, the welfare dependency continues to climb, the threat from our enemies continues to escalate, the freedoms continue to diminish, the respect of our fellow world leaders and their countries continues to evaporate, the educational quality continues to decline, etc, etc.

I'm not interested in the rest of your rable, I would like to know, please tell me, what freedoms? What riple of the brain caused you to trow around the F-word so freely? Context required plz

OT: I don't know if the OP's source is correct, but its nice to see that at least some US-politicians want to get the US's policies out of the 19th century.

I have to agree with this, other than our freedoms diminishing, while Obama attempts to diminish some of them, he will not succeed in it.

Besides terrorists, may I ask who is a credible and significant threat to the US?

Elizabeth Warren.

Take everything you just said about Obama, replace his name with "republicans," and you have a much better stock of what's going on in Washington.

[Cradyz]

He's done rather well, could have done a lot worse with the problems he inherited and the opposition he faced. Still he could have done better, he's just a moderate republican.

Russia. That was easy.

Let's look at job creation. You can argue the validity of the metric, but since this is a partisan discussion let's compare apples to apples. Net average job creation per year during the terms for the last 6 US presidents:

Obama 1,200,000/year
Bush 160,000/year
Clinton 2,862,000/year
Bush 668,000/year
Reagan 2,012,000/year
Carter 2,585,000/year

I agree, and it baffles me that republicans hate him so much. They should love him.

[Cradyz]

Russia is a threat to it's European neighbours, not the US. It really isn't going to fire it's nukes, besides that they can't touch the US.

Would never happen, politics are far too partisan in the US. Besides, they don't kiss the same corporate ass all the time, Obama gets his cash from the banks, reps get it more from the oil/gas type of companies. Also, the reps have a crazed, rabid base to worry about so they can never ever agree with any 'leftist' democrat..

Completely agree zombergy. And anyone who claims our freedoms haven't diminished are just not wanting to look. Or dont consider the same things freedoms that others do.

Of course Repubs make false predictions. An identical article could be made of dems predictions too. But the bottom line is, that in my opinion, our country is in worse shape than it was in 2008. Worst race relations I have seen in my entire lifetime. Worse worldwide respect. More welfare dependency. Thank goodness for term limits...I sometimes wonder if we could sustain 8 more years of this.

Russian assets have already been getting dangerously close to ours in the years since Obama took office. They're also operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Russia is a threat to the US.

unemployment continues to mount

Always hilarious to see any president blamed for this, when there are far more direct reasons for it.

[Druover]

Elizabeth Warren.

Perfect!!!!

Don't have time to dig through the link right now, but how many of those jobs are full-time and how many are part-time McJobs?

The laborforce participation rate is 3% lower now than it was in 2008. Data with no context is fun!!
