Does the White House keep you on salary Robby?
Panel 1: You mean the disaster known as Healthcare Welfare and the stimulus money that was given to rich buddies of Barry?Panel 2: Do you mean he pulled us out of Iraq(which was already planned under Bush) but he moved it up way too early and without leaving a small force to keep things stable? Ya Iraq looks great! And what great decision did 0 make to capture OBL? That was our military and intelligence after years of work.Panel 3: So he “saved” the auto industry? Are you on crack Robby? Don’t ask, Don’t tell actually was Clinton’s idea and worked well. Panel 4: BWAHHHH!!!! “Improved our image abroad”? HA! No comment needed.Panel 5 & 6: Riiiiight Robby….. All people who don’t approve of your boy Barry are old fat White guys. Yet you are part of the only 40% that actually do support Obozo?

If you ask them, he either messed those up, or they hated that he did it in the first place.

4th panel is false. The rest of the world now hates us much more than they did under Bush 2.

Gosh, if we could just all hate Obama some more, ALL the problems of the country would just go away.-Well, that and reduced income taxes for the wealthy. After all, Willard the ChickenHawk was shown to pay a whopping 13%(!) of his income (on the one partial return he released).

And we all live in FEMA trailers. And all our guns have been taken away. And we are now under shari’a law. I don’t know about you, but the official language in my town is now Muslim.
And it’s all Obama’s fault.
(and if you cannot tell that this is sarcasm, please do yourself the honor of keeping your “what’s the matter with you” response to yourself.)

The Stimulus: You mean the massive expenditure which seems to have done nothing to improve the economy (according to the administration estimates of the time the economy would actually have done better without the stimulus)-ACA – You mean the unpopular law which was so badly written that Democrats need the judiciary to ignore its actual language in order to save it, and which the Administration is unwilling to enact as written?-Two Wars – How is Iraq doing now compared to 2008? How about Afghanistan?-US Soldiers Killed Bin Laden – Yay. (Though the President’s willingness to roll around in that man’s blood is a bit grotesque).-“Saved” the Auto Industry – How is GM doing now?-Repealed “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” – With bipartisan support.-Improved America’s Image Abroad – Where? Across the globe our enemies are emboldened, our allies despair of us helping them, and those who hate us hate us just as much as they always did.-When are we going to see some *@#% leadership?: Good question.

Of those, the only thing he should’ve done was kill bin Laden, and even James Buchanan could’ve figured that one out. To get us out of 2 wars sounds good, but look at ISIS moving on now – that wouldn’t be happening with a better president in the White House.

“look at ISIS moving on now – that wouldn’t be happening with a better president in the White House.”
Absolutely it would. The whole claptrap about “standing down when the Iraqis stand up” was just that: claptrap. The only way that we could have prevented this would be to stay in Iraq forever, and even that may not have been enough.
A demonstrably worse president created great numbers of unemployed by dismantling the Iraqi army, but he did not take their weapons. Nor did he stop the looters from taking all the weapons stores and supplies—-even copper wiring and computers from schools and universities and hospitals—at the beginning of the occupation. Don’t forget the nearly 100,000 weapons considered “missing” even before we armed the local warlords during the “surge”. Perhaps if we’d had a better president then, the current situation would not have had a chance to develop.
And now the Iraqi “army”, which we spent ten years and untold billions in training and arming, has just taken off its collective uniform and handed US-made and US-supplied weapons to ISIS.
It’s funny: people make a good point that if the government keeps giving stuff away, people will lose their will and become dependent. Yet many of those same people feel that we should continue to give Iraq a free army, and fail to appreciate the irony.
