Socialism and dumb immigration have destroyed Europe's greatness.

Just a few generations ago, many parts of Europe were important on the global stage, and today they are mostly of secondary interest.

Obama's goals have been met, with 19 trillion in debt, 94 million Americans out of the workforce, 9.9 percent U-6 unemployment, 46 million on food stamps, the federal government growing and spending, taxes higher, the federal government allowing 100 sanctuary cities to function with impunity, 12 million illegal immigrants demanding their "rights" for intentionally breaking the law.

You're all wrong!

Obama has found a way to stop the flood of immigrants coming to this country; send American jobs to them so that they will lose the will to sneak into our country.
On Wednesday, United Technologies decided to reinforce both of these trends all at once, when the company announced it would be eliminating 1,400 jobs at a Carrier plant in Indianapolis in favor of hiring some new "foreign-born" employees - only these "foreign-born" workers will be hired in Mexico.

"Two Indiana plants that make products for the heating, ventilating and air conditioning industry are shifting their manufacturing operations to Mexico, which will cost about 2,100 workers their jobs," The Indianapolis Star reports. "Carrier is shuttering its manufacturing facility on Indianapolis' west side, eliminating about 1,400 jobs during the next three years [and] United Technologies Electronic Controls said that it will move its Huntington manufacturing operations to a new plant in Mexico, costing the northeastern Indiana city 700 jobs by 2018."

Now, see how easy it is to solve the immigration problem? Stay in Mexico and have a jog...come to America and have no job. I feel sorry for Indianapolis.

Obama's goal was to make the U.S. less Christian, less capitalistic, less strong, less free.

He has accomplished those goals, and he leaves in his wake a greatly weakened country with 94.4 milion out of the labor force, 46 million on food stamps, an open border in a time of terrorism, a politicized IRS, a State Dept willing to lie about Benghazi, and a Dept of Justice which nobody believes will even charge Hillary when it is clear she violated the law.

So the nation is less Christian...

Who cares.

And what's your point?

The point, obviously, is that no president -- of any party -- should set out on a one-man mission to fundamentally change a formerly great country.

And look at the mess now:

19 trillion in debt, 94 million out of the workforce, 46 million on food stamps, 12 million illegals while black teen unemployment skyrockets.

But what does all that have to do with Obama, johnny?

Under Obama the rate of growth in the debt has actually declined (that's a good thing, dimwit) and Congress increased the debt, not Obama, the U-6 was 14% when Obama took over and is now down to 9.9%, (that's a good thing, dimwit) and the number of illegals is the same as when he took over from W. Bush, so Obama didn't cause that number to be what it is.

So why do you repeatedly parrot that nonsense year after year like a brain dead weasel as if it reflects poorly on Obama when it only reflects your partisan ignorance and dimwittedness?

When a person talks about the rate of something, they are trying to the hide the reality.

It was wrong when Bush Jr spent like a drunken sailor, but that doesn't excuse Obama for spending like a fleet of drunken sailors.

Obama's goal, he said, was to fundamentally change the U.S.

He has.

As a Left Wing zealot, he wanted America to be less powerful, less free, more taxed, more regulated, more ruled by bureaucrats, more enslaved to affirmative action, more debt-ridden...

"It was wrong when Bush Jr spent like a drunken sailor, but that doesn't excuse Obama for spending like a fleet of drunken sailors."-joihnfibs

But that's the point, dummy.
G.W. is the one who spent like a fleet of drunken sailors, not Obama.
Obama spent like a sailor who woke up from a binge and realized he better start getting his shit together before he gets out of the cushy government job he's got.
As long as you continue to delude yourself about Obama being worse than Bush on spending, there's no way anyone can take you seriously.

Bush spent $2 trillion that didn't need to be spent at all for an elective war that made things much worse than they were when he got there. But the money is still pissed away for good.
Now if that same money had been spent on education and infrastructure, we would be seeing a boom time.
But deficit spending cannot simply be shut off overnight. It must be done gradually to prevent upheaval.
Under Obama the rate of increase has been reversed and actually put on a downward slope, which is exactly what we need to do with the debt. That's a good thing.

If the next Republican President continues this trend, we might get a handle on the problem.
But he won't. The rate of deficit spending will head upward once again, as it always does under Republican Presidents historically.

Here you see the debt climb under Reagan and H.W. Bush, then decline under Clinton, then increrase under G.W. and put into decline under Obama.
That's the Budget Office telling you this, not me, johnny.

johnny, you would save yourself a lot of wasted bullshit typing if you just replied with "I got nothin'."

Then all you would need to do is copy-and-paste that short phrase ad nauseum on every thread to give us everything you have to offer on any subject here other than truck stop restroom wrangling.

Thomas Wolfe sought to read dry the library at Harvard.

It was impossible.

What I do is search for wisdom, and I have found some on this thread:
