President Obama

I really don't think we have either a culture or political environment that allows for a president to be successful. Your republican controlled congress from the past couple of years has been more interested in allowing Obama policies to continue in hopes they'd hurt the Dem's chance at winning this past election than actually representing constituents. Most of congress is making decisions that will impact their next election and their party's next big elections than acting on their core principles. 

and yet, every single one of those SOBs will run on a platform of how much they care for each of us.

Let's face it, corporations are the real Congress of the United States.  Unfortunate, but that's the way it is.  Someone please create a Kent Brockman "I for one welcome our new corporate overlords" meme.

So now Obamacare is the fault of the Republican congress?

I'm sure to get some grief from the Obamaphiles here, but facts are facts:

I don't believe any statements included on images that look like they were made by an 8-year-old with MS Paint.

Clearly that's what I said.

Just commuted Chelsea Manning's sentence

[Thomas]

Imagine saying a year ago that Snowden had a much higher chance of receiving better treatment from the Republican president than Pres. Obama. That'd seem laughable.

[Amazing Larry]

Not sure why Manning's sentence gets commuted and Snowden does not get a pardon.

Whoa. Put on your glasses and check that again. That's a reflexive post.

[Blarg]

Well, in retrospect refusing to take any action towards any health care system created a void that put their opposition in control of the direction it took.

On my Facebook feed: Obama just pardoned Willie McCovey for tax evasion.  

Now I have to check to see if it's fake news. Facebook is notorious for that.

You need to unfriend everyone and dump your Facebook account.

The only trustworthy news sites are InfoWars and Breitbart.

Wake up, sheeple!

He was pardoned. It's not fake

Willie looks whiter than I remember.  I also don't remember him playing catcher.

Are you telling me the Angels drafted Willie but couldn't sign him? 

F'n Stoneman.

I added the only option that should apply here. My vote counts for 21 as well since this forum has turned into a Lib lounge.

Though I am a supporter of Obama and his work, how does one judge how great a President is?  

A lot of it depends upon one's political bent. There are still people who post pictures of George W. Bush, who I consider to be hands down the worst president of my lifetime, with the legend "Miss me yet?" My answer to that question may change after Friday.
