| In his re-election victory speech on Tuesday night, President Barack Obama referred to the United States as a singular “former colony,” when the United States was actually composed of 13 separate colonies prior to gaining independence from the British. “Thank you so much. Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward,” said Obama, which was the first sentence of his remarks in Chicago, Ill. Before the United States won its independence from Great Britain with the Treaty of Paris in 1783,

Indeed, 13 colonies.
And our self-determination wasn't so much "won" as taken. Takenby force of arms.
Oh. And retained by force of arms. Something that, like baseball, achievement, and exceptionalism, Americans are very, very good at.
Last -- there's absolutely no excuse for such errors to get into a pResidential speech, to make it to the teleprompter. To be uttered by even a usurper.

So what? The kids don't care, their parents don't care, the illegals here to grab what they can don't care, but most of all the media, Hollywood and education not only don't care. They really hate anyone who does, because personal accountability and personal sacrifice are wrapped up in the story of how 13 colonies that were tempted to become their own countries, pulled it together.
All the snarky elitists who flirt with socialism and communism want to throw that out and rule us with an iron hand. We will see, but I sure wish more people knew things like what countries border the continental United States.

What's the point in continually pointing out the worn-out truth that stinky is a moron and a tool? Why bother? It comes across as sour grapes, and I think this might in fact be the case.
All the little stinkys ignored the blatant unavoidable truths and voted him in any way, and now we're in deep, deep trouble.
stinky lied, obfuscated and danced around his failures and disasters, and won. The United States is stuck with him for another four years. He won't be called to account for anything, and he definitely won't be impeached. He's wearing two sets of body armor -- sloe-joe biden and hairy reed. stinky is safe and tucked in for four years, and there's nothing we can do about it.
My home has been a stinky-free zone for four years. I think I'll try to make my life stinky-free as well; my postings here and elsewhere, conversations with friends and non-friends; as much as possible, li'l stinky is persona non grata in my home and life, now more than ever.
To hell with him. I can minimize to a small degree the damage his wicked treasonous actions inflict on me, and I will do that. We all will. But apart from that, I've scraped stinky off my boot for the last time. Like I said, to hell with him.

The solutions to dealing withe dumbasses who voted for this dumbass.
Boycott liberals in every aspect of your life. Life is so much more pleasant and simpler this way. Patronize conservative businesses.
Do not hire or do business with illegals in any way shape or form.
Red states citizens: Petition your governors and state congresses to cut off funding to illegals. Let illegals seek refuge in the blue states, or better yet, go home until they are legal citizens. Also petition your red state governments to exercise their Tenth Amendment rights and regain control of elections -- tell Holder to butt out. U.N. observers were amazed that ID was not required to vote.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
