Why wouldn't anyone be angry when an election system installs a con artist as president with only 40% favorable ratings before he has even assumed office, besides losing the popular vote?

We celebrate the beginning of our nation's worst disaster on Friday. Some emotion is appropriate, if one cares about what is going to happen....

Our worst disaster comes to an end on Friday, and we survived it. Fortunately.

Now that is pure fantasy. Disagree with his policies and priorities all you like, but the economy is in much better shape than when Obama took office, we have far fewer troops engaged in foreign conflicts, and we avoided default on the government's obligations, despite the tea party's most strident efforts. He took conservative measures - such as the barest revision of the Bush tax cuts when he could have let them expire completely, a compromise that disappointed many on the left; but as a result of the deal struck, we did not sink into another recession. I don't see how you can call those results "our worst disaster" with a straight face. You must be kidding, because I have not perceived you as an idiot - but you might be trying to prove me wrong.

Doubled the national debt, added 13,000,000 to disability and other government handouts , lowest job participation in 50 years, lowest percentage home ownership in 50 years, even life expectancy went down.
Yeah, he was a real peach

Ah, "facts." But you "knew" before you looked up some facts, if that is what they are. They are picked to suit, or made-up (by your sources) to suit.
Logic is helpful too. What you have here is, at face value, correlation being used to imply causation. How might Obama have caused all this? Especially the life-expectancy one. You're saying he made people die?

1) National debt? Do you think two wars on the nation's MasterCard and a slew of misguided tax breaks had anything to do with that?
2&3) The Baby Boomers got old, no surprise there.
4)Uh, did you miss the overheated real estate market during the Shrub's tenure as POTUS? I sure didn't, I was laughing and scoffing at the bubble in '05 but what do I know, I'm just an old nailpounder. (rolls eyes)
5) Life expectancy? Beats me. Maybe some gun nuts were chewing on the barrel of their pea shooters when the banks repo'd their pick up trucks?

Funny how on one hand these guys say that Obama was an utterly feckless and weak president then they ascribe almost superhuman powers to him. I swear, the cognitive dissonance must be deafening.
