Obama. Greatest American president ever?

Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America 's future.

Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America 's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.

That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America . Here's why.

Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.

Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips - they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.

Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world. Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion. Welfare policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to lubricate the economy. Our children left school having been taught that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy. Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms. Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around, reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and "disabilities." Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again. Lawyers routinely extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with dubious torts.

We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in disbelief, and we went on with our lives.

But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of dissatisfaction and unrest.

A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White House as an advisor to the president. Auto companies are taken over by the government, and the auto workers' union - whose contracts are completely insupportable in any economic sense - is rewarded with a stake in the company. Government bails out Wall Street investment bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous bonuses as thanks for the public support. Terrorists are read their Miranda rights and given free lawyers. And, despite overwhelming public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy.

Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing, they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their hats into the ring. Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities must be radically re-structured. Will it be a violent revolution? No. It will be done through the interpretation of the original document that has guided us for 220 "FANTASTIC" years--- the Constitution. Just as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism, there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of nonsense. A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year 2010 as the time when America got back on the right track. And for that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.

No, he will be judged as the WORST President because of his actions in office.

The article clearly defines the shortcomings.

The signs were all there. People let the pixie dust cloud their judgement and now that they see their nation going into the toilet they're becoming energized to do something.

The ONLY way to wipe the scourge from our nation is to vote them all out. Regardless of party affiliation. At this stage of the game it's a foregone conclusion that BOTH parties have failed the US citizen/taxpayers. If they're in...put them on the curb. If they changed parties to stay in office...put them on the curb. If they run to the Independent moniker don't believe them. They're not an Independent. They did that for their own preservation.

It's time for America to take out the trash. See them for the thieves they are. Ineffectual boobs with a pension and benefits for life for shafting America. We need to break out the tar and feathers. Install the stocks again and put them on display in the city square for all to spit at and throw rotten vegetables upon.

It's going to take more than one election cycle to erase the vermin. Rinse Lather Repeat. This is what I will be doing for the rest of my life. I just don't care anymore. They don't care about this nation.

Tea Party’s already won - By A.B. Stoddard - 09/15/10 05:56 PM ET

Even before Christine O’Donnell handily defeated Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) in an epic upset Tuesday night, the Tea Parties, all of them, had already won. No matter what happens in the midterm elections on Nov. 2, the Tea Party has moved the Democrats to the right and the Republicans even more so, and President Obama’s agenda is dead.

Anger from disaffected conservatives who sat quietly through eight years of the surplus-to-deficit presidency of George W. Bush bubbled up immediately after Obama took office. All it took was the unprecedented $787 billion stimulus package, and before Obama could mark his first 100 days in office, a movement was born. Some of the already angry yet newly active were libertarian supporters of Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), and almost all of them were fuming over the Troubled Asset Relief Program of 2008, the bipartisan bailout of Wall Street that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) voted for and that his running mate, then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), supported.


What debuted in nationwide protests on April 15, 2009, has taken less than 18 months to become the current driving force in American politics. The Tea Party insurgency will not only cost Democrats dozens of seats in Congress, and likely their majority — it will define the coming GOP presidential nominating process, determine the direction of the GOP for years to come and threaten any remaining plans Obama has for sweeping reforms of education, energy policy or our immigration system.

Last March, Republicans joined Democrats in calling on Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) to end his filibuster against the extension of unemployment benefits paid for by deficit spending, embarrassed he was blocking aid to the jobless. But it took just three months for the grassroots pressure to reach the Capitol — Bunning was a Tea Party hero. By the time the $30 billion expired on June 2, Senate Republicans had united behind a nearly two-month filibuster of the next round of $34 billion in “emergency spending” for unemployment insurance. They were joined by Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), and some House Democrats warned their own leaders at the time that the days of votes on “emergency spending” would soon have to come to an end.

As of last week, before the House and Senate even reconvened, it was clear there were enough Senate Democrats joining Republicans seeking an extension of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest earners that the Democrats don’t have the votes to pass President Obama’s permanent extension of the middle-class tax cuts without passing cuts for the top two tax brackets as well.

When Obama introduced his latest economic proposals earlier this month, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), an ally of the Obama White House, immediately put out a statement not only criticizing Obama’s newest infrastructure plan but knocking the original stimulus as well. “I will not support additional spending in a second stimulus package. Any new transportation initiatives can be funded through the Recovery Act, which still contains unused funds,” Bennet said.

Obama won’t get his infrastructure plan through the Congress, and he knows it. Next year, when he is running for reelection, tax and budget reform will be the only issues he could realistically work on with a GOP majority or a razor-thin Democratic majority. In other words, the Tea Party agenda.

The Tea Party candidates themselves — like O’Donnell, whom Karl Rove called “nutty,” — matter little. Only a few will actually get elected this fall. Yet the Tea Party has won without them. There are no tea leaves left to read. Democrats have been spooked and Republicans threatened, cajoled or cleansed. The results are already in.

Kawak & Dr.MV, I agree with you both. I am glad to see the rise of conservative activism, it will be the tip of the spear going forward and what we need so that we do not become complacent. Like it or not, conservative minded people, historically, will do their best from 9to5 and then they have to go home and make dinner, watch their TV shows, and get the kids ready for bed. The other side does not sleep, it is pervasive, insidious, has no scruples, knowingly deceives and manipulates.
For a long lasting period of conservative freedom people will have to be vigilant and not fear the name calling that we receive or the personalized hatred that is heaped upon us by the "open-minded". A pastor told me that Christians are the only group that shoots their wounded. I will have to amend that to say that conservatives and Christians are the only groups that shoot their wounded. When we give up that behavior, stay vigilant, & are willing to ignore the name calling and hatred form the other side we will have a unified movement that can take things back for the common man.

she's another f''n ding like saraah, no wonder you like her.

if she wins, better keep your hand off your privates. she wants to prevent masturbation. she is against it. perhaps she can't bring herself to climax, might explain it.

all these tea party winners are not new, they have been around lurking in the shadows, sticking there noses in everyone's business, waiting for the right time to come out of their closets and coffins, and now with the republicans so screwed up, they have ventured forth into daylight, temporarily, only to disappear again after the elections.

think about the stupidity of a rape victim, or a child abused starting at 8 or 9 and continuing
until she can escape the abusive family or becoming pregnant and being forced to bring forth the child born of incest or rape. the idea of that is idiotic and insane.

dear, tomorrow we are going to visit your father who raped me. he is doing life without parole for repeated offenses.

Yes. Same thing that happens every time Republicans are in power - the black churches burn, social security is canceled and senior citizens are sent to the gas chambers. Same tired sh*t that gets trotted out in every liberal candidate ad since time began.

First, Rick - and it never fails to amaze me that you have a hard time grappling with this concept - I am not a Ford employee.

Second, I've already assumed that Social Security will not be there for me when I "retire" as whiny little liberal parasites like you will have sucked the host dry, and will continually cry and whine that we pay for your benefits long after you're dead. Then again, you've had a decent run demanding that others pay the price for your idiocy...

Third, if you can "smell" me coming, it's probably because you're so accustomed to the smell of dog crap and urine in your own household, that anything with a pleasent odor automatically grabs your attention.

Actually, I could care less about your house, outside of the fact that chiding you on your paint job gets your panties in a bunch. And that's fun to do from time to time.

During Ronald Reagan's administration, the national debt reached it's then all time high. Did you think Ronald Reagan was the face of rampant liberalism driving the country into ruinous debt?

George W. Bush desperately sought support and approval for the $700+ Billion dollar bailout in the waning days of his last term.

Nixon supported the separation of our currency from gold backing.

Yet you paint Obama with the tired and overblown Hitler/Nazi comparisons you'd reject for those you seem to hold as Icons, republicans who did many of the same things. I'm pretty sure if when those things were taking place under republican presidents you'd have spewed the same bombastic, vituperative hyperbole you parrot from various conservative blogs.
