| Congratulations, Mr. President. You scored an impressive victory in a year when the economic fundamentals were not on your side. Now you’re in the position of a Super Bowl-winning coach. You have only a few days to exult in your triumph before preparing for “next season.” Actually it’s worse than that, because in the real world there is no off-season. You have earned the mixed blessing of being in charge of the most powerful country in the world for another four years—and that means you have to deal with the most difficult issues. If it’s not too presumptuous

I don´t think he gives a rip about any of these issues. In the meantime our enemies will keep chipping away at American influence until they can run wild.

Obama has created all the problems he has to preside over,so how can he fix them without a sudden right turn? The answer is he can´t. It´s just the click of the clock that says how fast or soon Obamageddon happens.
A lot of people are going to get caught in the wake of punishing the enemies who are white middle class people.Its no different than 4-5 varieties of parasites rushing to polish off the same host.

What does he care? He mishandled/ignored every problem during his first four years as the country went down the toilet, and still he got re-elected, and now he doesn´t even to worry about re-election.
Get ready for 4 more years of golf, parties, empty speeches, unconstitutional power grabs and "flexibility". The House is too timid to do anything about it and the Senate is Democrat-controlled anyway.

What #4 said. And let´s not forget the "annual" Hawaii Vacation during Christmas and Martha´s Vineyard in the summer. More than 100 rounds of golf the first four years. Can´t imagine how many he can play now that he´s not "worried" about being re-elected! The Wednesday W.H parties will come back, bigger and better than ever! Especially since every DIME spent on his and moochelle´s excellent adventures is being paid for by TAXPAYERS! At least the ones still paying taxes! obama can thank the losers who voted for him while they stand in unemployment lines and wait for food stamps and FREE phones and FREE contraceptives!! But hey! Everybody will be INSURED! Right?? Right?? Never mind...

#4, I wish that "golf, parties, empty speeches, unconstitutional power grabs and ´flexibility´" were all we had to worry about in the coming years. I´ve come to realize that even Obama´s critics did not fully understand the disaster that would befall us if he were re-elected, else some would not have stayed home or otherwise wasted their votes because of indifference or in a foolish protest against the Republican candidates. There was far more at stake than the economy, culture and politics, although these things were important. Instead, I´m convinced that there is no limit to the depravity of this man nor the evil that he will deliberately bring to the world. We have no recourse now but to pray to the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob for His mercy and deliverance from such a one.

Obama and the Democrats don´t care about the prolems. They´ll just keep blaming Bush, and the Republican Congress.
The sheeple believe Republicans still control the Congress and are holding back progress.
Republicans are horrible at clearly illustrating that the Democrat Senate could have prevented the looming "fiscal cliff" by actually proposing a budget, and they allowed them to keep the continuing resolution out of fear they´d be blamed.

Max, this President will do what he has always done, that absolute minimum that he can, accept anything that goes well as his own, and blame anything that goes bad on someone else.
You think he will do one thing about China, Iran, not to mention unemployment? He will take claim that unemployment dropped when he manufactures a bunch of taxpayer funded phony jobs.
That´s what you´ll get Max. No one can cite this idiot´s accomplishments over that past four years, as there are none.

The fella in the White House cares only about his next round of golf, his next vacation and bringing down the US to the size economic and military level of Kenya.
MISSION SOON TO BE ACCOMPLISHED.

There’s a huge red flag in the Benghazi mess, but conservatives are letting the media get away with using a red herring to avoid it. Give the establishment media credit for obstinacy: Once it settles on a standard narrative or explanation for a particular subject, it shows remarkable discipline in explaining away any evidence that contradicts its own approved spin. So it has been with the media’s 250-day old determination to downplay the scandalous nature of the Obama administration’s treatment of its outpost in Benghazi before, during, and after the terrorist attack there that took four American lives.

Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration´s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall. Backers of the health-care overhaul face an uphill battle to spread the word about the law, in the face of consumer research that suggests most uninsured people know little about it and are skeptical about the value of health insurance generally. Some Democrats have openly worried that the administration is doing too little to make sure the enrollment process goes smoothly. That is where the "patient navigators"

Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare. Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) — a 1.3 million-member labor group that twice endorsed Obama for president — is very worried about how the reform law will affect its members’ healthcare plans. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers released a statement calling “for repeal

Since Hillary Clinton last came up to Capitol Hill, we’ve learned senior State Department officials sought to scrub references to terrorism from the infamous Benghazi talking points to insulate Foggy Bottom from political criticism — citing concerns of their “building’s leadership” to justify the demands. The rising temperature of the scandal means it’s possible that Hillary could be asked to return and testify again. If she comes back, she had better be prepared, says House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa. “We are interviewing lots of people, most of them under oath,” Issa says, describing the “methodical” approach his committee

We hear a lot, these days, about how President Obama is not like Lyndon Johnson and thanks be to heaven for that small mercy. The point seems to be that the president doesn´t know how to arm twist, sweet talk, bribe, and emasculate both friend and enemy (of which he truly had neither) in order to further his agenda. Since many among the chattering class believe, still, in that agenda, his is generally regarded as an excellent presidency. Never mind that more than half a century after Johnson declared war on poverty ...

First they came for Fox News, and they did not speak out – because they were not Fox News. Then they came for government whistleblowers, and they did not speak out – because they were not government whistleblowers. Then they came for the maker of a You Tube video, and – okay, we know how this story ends. But how did we get here?Turns out, it’s a fairly swift sojourn from a president pushing to “delegitimize” a news organization, to threatening criminal prosecution for journalistic activity by a Fox News reporter, James Rosen,

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”
