"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" and obama wants to repeat the home loan policies that got us into the financial mess we are now in. Is he insane, stupid, or is he actively trying to destroy America? I vote insane.

"The Obama administration is engaged in a broad push to make more home loans available to people with weaker credit, an effort that officials say will help power the economic recovery but that skeptics say could open the door to the risky lending that caused the housing crash in the first place.
President Obama’s economic advisers and outside experts say the nation’s much-celebrated housing rebound is leaving too many people behind, including young people looking to buy their first homes and individuals with credit records weakened by the recession.
In response, administration officials say they are working to get banks to lend to a wider range of borrowers by taking advantage of taxpayer-backed programs — including those offered by the Federal Housing Administration — that insure home loans against default."


Obama administration pushes banks to make home loans to people with weaker credit - Washington Post



This is a stupid policy. However the reason for the economic collapse was not simply giving risky loans. It was banks and other organizations bundling those loans and selling them as derivatives. It created trillions of dollars of of financial assets based on far smaller level of real (and even worse vastly overvalued) assets. This is awful policy. Just like the financial reform was awful policy, as it did nothing to limit the activities that actually led to the collapse. However, this is NOT on Obama only. Our system is broken. Obama is simply a symptom of a broken system, NOT its cause.
 
Arming the Syria terrorists, worst Obama policy EVER.

Is Israel bombing Syria because they fear the possibility a political settlement?

I think the pay walls at NYT, WaHoPo, and others are to hide the easily disprovable bunk in the govmnt stenography that passes for reporting these days.

Anyone who follows NPR, PBS or the NYT must be soused.

Wa(Ho)Po Lies About Arab War Support

"Dear Washington Post,

is the Jordan king Abdullah asking for a diplomatic solution in Syria or for military intervention?

On April 26 you reported: Jordan’s Abdullah urges diplomatic action to end Syrian conflict


"Jordan is urging the Obama administration to intensify efforts to find a political settlement to the Syrian conflict, ... Despite the failure of previous initiatives, the king urged a renewed attempt at a negotiated settlement as the only realistic path toward ending the conflict without splintering the country or condemning it to endless bloodshed."

U.S. working hard to find political resolution to Syrian conflict - The Washington Post

On April 29 your news report claims:

The Obama administration worked Monday to preserve thinning hopes for a political deal that could end the Syrian civil war and to hold off rising pressure from lawmakers and Syria’s Arab neighbors for more direct U.S. involvement.
...
Several of Syria’s Arab neighbors, led by close U.S. ally Jordan, are lobbying for a more forceful U.S. role in Syria. There is no consensus about what the United States should do, however. Options include giving heavier gear to the rebels, providing protection for refugees or rebel fighters with missile batteries or aircraft, or authorizing precision airstrikes to destroy chemical weapons stockpiles or key air defenses.

So now you claim that "several of Syria’s Arab neighbors" want a U.S. war on Syria. Only Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan are Arab countries which share borders with Syria. None of then, according to your own reporting, has indeed asked for a military intervention. So how come you are now lying to your readers with such nonsensical claims? "

Going by the lies of yeserdays press conference, I'd say the Prez. is going thru an extended period of cognative dissonace, or even worse, possibly a fugue type state.

Fugue[fyo̅o̅g]

a state of dissociative reaction characterized by amnesia and physical flight from an intolerable situation. During the episode the person appears normal and seems consciously aware of what may be very complex activities and behavior, but afterward he or she has no recollection of the actions or behavior. The condition may last for only a few days or weeks, or it may continue for several years, during which the person wanders away from the customary environment, enters a new occupation, and undertakes an entirely different way of life. The syndrome appears to be caused by an inability to cope with a severe conflict or with a chronically stressful life situation. A form of fugue also occurs briefly after an epileptic seizure.following recovery, they recall nothing that happened during the fugue. The disorder is usually related to emotional conflicts due to some traumatic, stressful, or overwhelming event, remits spontaneously, and rarely recurs.

If your poll had an option for 'Much Better President Than G.W. Bush', that would have been my choice.

Do you think that the GOP will ever put anyone in the White House again?

I doubt it.

In any case, have a nice day while we watch the GOP crumble.




"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch, running out of time, GOP.
 
I'm sick of the lot! Republican and Democrat alike.




I agree with the Republican part of your comment.

What is the GOP's worst problem out of the many that it faces?

Any ideas?

Who cares about the GOP? This thread is about Obama.

Oh, wait...you'd rather not talk about Obama, right?
 
He is neither insane nor is he stupid.

He is insidious. He HATES the idea of individual liberty and believes that people who believe in that concept are evil and must be controlled. He's sneaky, manipulative, conniving and treacherous...and he has surrounded himself with the same kind of people. They are paranoid. They are narcissistic. They are delusional.

They are an enemy of a free America.

Are you saying you don't think he should be put on Mount Rushmore?

I'm not buying into the malarkey that some sore losers are trying to spread with this thread.

Some people who can't win fair elections try to win by other means.

Not going to happen.

Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

Deal with it.

Dude...this is a poll thread about Obama. If you don't agree with the premise of the poll, then say so. But you have no call to try to derail or deflect this thread to being about the GOP.

Frankly, if I were a mod I'd be booting your ass from this thread.

My comment is about Obama, it's about how the GOP couldn't win an election against President Obama so now it's trying to win by other means.

Do you see my point?

If the GOP could have shut up all of the opposition last year they might have put Willard M. Romney in the White House.

LOL!!

The mental gymnastics you'll go through to try to justify your deflection would be admirable...if they weren't so pathetic.

Dude...it's people like you who give political forums a bad name.

You accuse me of being off-topic and here you are totally off-topic, no mention or even allusion to Obama in your post.

Did you ever hear of psychological projection?

You are a good example of that defense mechanism.

Again you are off-topic. You didn't even mention Obama.

But, you know what?

I'm going to let you slide.

This time.

Have a nice day and a wonderful life.

Thank you.

The next time you post in this thread, I hope you will stop deflecting to the GOP and instead post to the topic.
 
Both republicans and democrats are big government big spenders.

It's all going to crash, cause unsustainable.

But we have a chance in 2014 to teach both the runaway parties a lesson.

Data?

Bush increased size of fed government 400% and Obama another 40% on top of that!

Spending, both doubled the debt while in office.

Criminals!

As to what Obama is, is delusional. he has president confused with KING!

And will Rachel Maddow please stop cheerleading for invasion of Iran,War on Syria, Chemical Weapons (aka WMD):roll: what a farce Ms. Maddow, does Obama work for the Bush Crime Family now .. And with the total censorship in the Progressive media ... Norman Goldman, Tom Hartman, Randi Rhodes and Ed … ignore, see no evil in the war secretly started by Obama in Syria. We were all outraged by Nicaragua and Reagan-Bush ... what changed? ... For sale hosts and Uncle Sam stenographers or are you all just cointel-FBI? ... gee Ed Schultz why did you support Obombers Libya invasion, whaddya some kind of Cointel interlopers … Thom Hartman and the rest only cover Obama wars when the no fly zone is put in place and the war has already begun like with Libya - no the liberal hosts dont cover the lies, the military buildup, and the false flag which led to said wars, they just did that to the Bushs what about the warmongers in your own party - Smug old Amy Goodman acts like SHE invented the antiwar movement while the “Democrats Now” show builds the lies to invade Syria and while quoting the fake, govmnt funded London Obervatory 70,000 dead figure “killed by Assad” propaganda. Shes a Ford Foundation CIA asset scumbag playing prepackaged dissent, canned scripts using the photos of Dr. King and Mother Theresa, and protest folk music jingles to hide behind …

Hillary no way hosea, Susan Rice and her made enough threats and wars to make McCain stagger back in his lair in the latest episode of the WALKING DEAD, I mean the US SENATE. Tell us why do old fossils such as McCain still cling so desperately to power into their 80′s, when they have 6 mansions and a billionaire wife –

Assad didnt cause those atrocities, the Obama CIA did.

Obama has been groomed to carry out the Cheney Energy Policy by the NeoCons and the CFR types (i.e. – Bill Clinton, Hillary, Zbigniew Brzezinski) It was reported that Henry Kissinger was giving orders to Jim Jones, Obamas National Security Adviser during Baracks first term. Kissinger is also CFR. Its clear all of Americas led wars were planned before 9/11.

Why I write and why I will never vote Democrat again, and why Obama must be impeached/ removed from office

None of the above. While I disageee with the POTUS on many issues I believe he's trying to accomplish what he thinks is best for the country.
In this case, overwhelming the system is what he thinks is best for the country.
