Regardless he does seem not want to go beyond making speeches.

You guys do not understand leadership....sometimes it is not what you do but what you don't do. Obama did not start a war with false intelligence and leave behind 5000 souls in Iraq ....and for what ? that mess that is in charge over in Iraq now?

Benghazi is done....nothing there except an anti-smoking gun email released today
This IRS thing will go away and it is already evident that some liberal groups were asked the same fucking questions

same for the fbi probe....Obama just comes out looking harder on terrorism that is all


ill take a failing Obama any day over some Tea Bagger morons bent on destroying the country through tearing down the social safety net. I welcome their hatred.....
I hope they get to hate Obama for the next three years and then Hillary and Martinez afterwards

Even if the Dems had a two thirds majority it would still be like herding cats to get anything revolutionary passed.

He did have alot on the plate when he took office and still does. And add a goofball in NK wanting to nuke the US, 3 shootings, a bombing, a major storm, etc.. with everyone looking towards him for fixes and future preventions. Shit, rightwing or left... I wouldn't want the job as president knowing a presidents hands are tied. You can make promises to the people, but once your in office those promises can only be carried out if they relax the puppet strings.

So, what connection do the Bengazi, the IRS and AP scandals have with the president?

About the most sensible thing I've read yet, today.

Thanks, Dave.
