"...the first black President and nothing else."
It may be time for you to repeat, "Now I'm mixfused." But in your defense a lot of the SO conservative gang is equally "mixfused."
How is it that you can so easily overlook to dramatic rise of the stock market, the decline of unemployment, the lowest deficit since 2007, an economic growth rate of 4.6% in the last quarter, ISIS is being pushed back in Kobani, Texas appears to be ebola-free (avoiding the necessity to halt all flights in or out of Texas), the ACA is working fine, especially in states with their own exchanges (causing Senator McConnell to be blasted for not understanding it and Kynect), and we avoided wars in Iran and Ukraine.
Maybe that will clear up some of the "mixfusion" so prevalent on these columns. People that express such continual displeasure amounting to hatred, for the President should be embarrassed.

RELee,
Lefty is just what his name imples.... a Leftist, therefore his confussion on what the topic of discussion really is. No answer, blame somebody like Limbaugh. Near as I can tell, the only two Poster on here who listen to Limbaugh are Lefty and Common.

There was no question as far as this thread goes. The title was a statement and only that. I just provided supporting information that many on SO are unable to or for some strange reason, refuse to understand.

"Obama: One very successful president?"
Common,
I beg to differ with you... it was plainly a question as shown above. Do you not understand what that squiggly thing with the dot underneath it means at the end of the line. Here I will post it again.
"Obama: One very successful president?"
-- Posted by Have Wheels Will Travel - ΑΩ on Mon, Oct 20, 2014, at 4:46 PM
"One very successful president"
It make sense as a question and as a statement. I don't agree totally, as he has been successful in some areas and unsuccessful in others.
One in particular is his failure to preassure republicans/conservatives to accept spending cuts, entitlement rationalization and tax reform to reduce the deficit further.

-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Mon, Oct 20, 2014, at 8:11 PM
semo - none of that really matters to Common. Since his president/party policies are abject failures all he has left is "hate" and "race card". Everything revolve around that.
You can't support the huge debt, failed economic policies, etc. with logic so he continually pulls the race card or the hate card.
-- Posted by not_sorry on Mon, Oct 20, 2014, at 8:18 PM

Semo: I hope you're right. I don't see republicans taking the senate yet but even if they do Obama is going to violate the law on immigration, etc. on his way out.
He's not cared about "the law" for the past 6 years. I don't see him caring his last two.
We'll see!
-- Posted by not_sorry on Tue, Oct 21, 2014, at 9:30 AM
"...can do to harm the USA."
The republicans/conservatives really have packaged all of their paranoia now...
"Julio Varela, founder of Latino Rebels, an opinionated Latino-issues website, questioned the motivation of such fears.
"I am starting to think that this is all some kind of mix-and-match game of fear," he said. "You take the most extreme examples of xenophobic hysteria -- Mexicans, terrorists, ISIS, the border crisis and Ebola -- and mash them all together to create a new narrative of craziness," he added."
Quote... "Sen. Hagan has failed the people of North Carolina and the nation by not securing our border," Tillis said during an Oct. 7 debate with Hagan. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have an Ebola outbreak, we have bad actors who can come across the border. We need to seal the border and secure it."
There is, however, no evidence that anyone infected with Ebola is trying to drive, swim or run their way from Mexico to Texas, and no evidence that anyone in Latin America is infected with the disease.
Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas)
Quote... "Groups like the Islamic State collaborate with drug cartels in Mexico who have clearly shown they're willing to expand outside the drug trade into human trafficking and potentially even terrorism," Cotton said at a recent town hall-style gathering.
"They could infiltrate our defenseless border and attack us right here in places like Arkansas. This is an urgent problem and it's time we got serious about it, and I'll be serious about it in the United States Senate."
The notion that ISIS could pour in through Mexico sounds scary enough to turn into a Halloween costume, but it has been refuted multiple times by U.S. officials who say there is "no credible intelligence" of such a plot.
Scott Brown (R-New Hampshire --hopeful)
Quote "My concern is with our unprotected border where people with Ebola and other infectious diseases can enter the country without being challenged," Brown said in statement in early October.
Again, though, there is no evidence that anyone in Mexico, Central America or South America is infected with Ebola, let alone trying to get to the United States.
- - - - - - -
Just wait, pretty soon the republican/conservative candidates will proclaim that there are thousands of...
...ebola infected, AK-47 toting, ISIS JV terrorists disguising themselves, as illegal drug carrying Mexicans or Honduran children, that have streamed unchallenged, across all of our southern borders, and are now ready to assault the capital.
Sadly some of our SO friends will believe that this is really true.
-- Posted by commonsensematters on Tue, Oct 21, 2014, at 1:47 PM
Just wait - the Obama administration will some day....
declare that a Muslim man with radical ties will kill many Americans while yelling "Alluah Akbar" and they will claim it was "workplace violence - no terrorism here". Wait - that already happened didn't it? And ISIS isn't related to al Qaeda because Obama killed al Qaeda, right?
And these are the people you base your so-called "facts" on?
-- Posted by not_sorry on Tue, Oct 21, 2014, at 3:01 PM

One thing about it Carter is no longer in last place he has lost that famous position by a good margin the current one no doubt has taken Jimmy's position one that he held for years up until now, I would hug Jimmy's neck one thing about him he is probably one of the most honest Presidents we ever had at least he would tell the people the truth the current one has a hard time in doing that actually telling the truth.

And you would be wrong. I think for myself. Who do you think I'm afraid of on these threads? You? Common? Anyone else? Why would anyone be afraid of being "outcast" here? It's a public SO forum.
It's amazing to me that agreeing with anyone is somehow "following a crowd". News flash - BCStoned agrees with people too. He has articles he reads and people he agrees with. No different than anyone else on here - including yourself.
I don't worship men in power. I could give a hoot about Obama and his followers here except for their interest in taking more money out of my pocket and spreading it to their lazy voter base. If Obama were simply what he is - an inept Acorn attorney I wouldn't care. Unfortunately he is a president.

Tax Heaven: Federal Tax Revenue Tops $3 Trillion For First Time EverObama Tax Revenue 3 Trillion
By V. Saxena
October 22, 2014
Last last week, CNS News contributor Ali Meyer revealed that 2014 "marked the first time ever [in American history] that tax revenues have topped $3 trillion." This means that never before in American history has the government taken as much money from its citizens as it did in fiscal year 2014:
The largest share of the tax revenue so far this year has come from individual income taxes, which totaled $1,394,567,000,000 in fiscal 2014.
The rest of the receipts came from corporation income taxes totaling $320,731,000,000, employment and general retirement (off-budget) totaling $735,602,000,000, employment and general retirement (on-budget) totaling $229,465,000,000, unemployment insurance totaling $55,394,000,000, other retirement receipts totaling $3,472,000,000, excise taxes totaling $93,368,000,000, estate and gift taxes totaling $19,300,000,000, customs duties totaling $33,926,000,000 and miscellaneous receipts totaling $135,024,000,000.
Yet as Daily Signal commentator Curtis Dubay notes, the deficit still remains at almost $500 billion. Furthermore, the federal debt continues to climb toward $18 trillion and the unemployment rate remains high. Let us also not forget that the number of Americans collecting government benefits is still at an all-time high.
The problem, as Dubay notes, is that we keep spending far too much. And as the CBO has explained on numerous occasions, we will continue to spend more and more unless we get a grip on our fiscal house.
Irony? President Obama will likely call for even more tax hikes after the midterm elections. This despite the fact that "there is plenty of revenue coming in to Washington." And so taxes will keep increasing and the debt will keep skyrocketing, just as businesses keep collapsing and jobs keep disappearing.
I personally wouldn't call it obama's America. I would call it D.C.'s America. None the less, obama and his D.C. minions of both parties have been extemely successful at collecting the citizen's hard earned money. Record revenue not enough. Taxes must be raised.

BC, I've always thought that if the north would have ignored the south and let them leave the union, the union would have eventually been restored.
Like horses and mules that became more costly to maintain compared to tractors, so would the slave be of little value and social integration would have brought the north and south back politically.

A curious statement from an Iranian leader:
"Obama is the weakest of U.S. presidents, he had humiliating defeats in the region. Under him the Islamic awakening happened," Younesi said in a Farsi language interview with Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency.
"Americans witnessed their greatest defeats in Obama's era: Terrorism expanded, [the] U.S. had huge defeats under Obama [and] that is why they want to compromise with Iran," Younesi said.
The criticism of Obama echoes comments made recently by other world leaders and even former members of the president's own staff, such as Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates."
-- Posted by not_sorry on Thu, Oct 23, 2014, at 4:16 PM
"A curious statement..."
Not at all "curious" that the SO friends would believe an Iranian "leader."
"Americans has witnessed their greatest defeats..."
Is that so? Maybe he should ask Osama, maybe he should ask the Al Qaida leaders in Pakistan, maybe he should ask Quaddafi, maybe he sould ask the ISIS gun crews...
Oh, that's right, Younesi can't do that, because they're all dead.
Sorry, but your Iranian buddy is wrong.

So far as you "accepting" credit... you then admit to categorizing certain people and making judgements regarding them. In spite of the fact that I have a lot of respect for those folks mentioned and am happy to associate with them... I am in no way formally attached to any group.
You on the other hand appear offended when I grouped you, all I recall is making a statement... you seem to take it personal. Was it the part about maturing? We all mature as we grow older and learn by our mistakes.
