Well, I am a simple traveller through life. I try not to test my circulatory system with this (detected in comments) level of adrenaline. For those of you who are the most passionate know this - a good Co. Kerry Barman would have hit you with the bar rag and tossed you out by now!

I'm so proud of what this administration has accomplished, and while some on the Right are turning themselves inside out trying to spin this as a failure - because, like Al Qaeda, they want America to fail - the rest of the country is celebrating a return of competency.

McManara31, what has Obama accomlished and given the American people, only a $11 trillion debt!!!!! I dispise Obama becuase he is a Socalist with the goal of America lowering itself to a 2nd class standing in the world. Under President Reagan we were looked upon as the greatest natiion in the world, especially when he said Mr. Gorbachev, "TEAR DOWN THAT WALL" and look what transpired after that. Now Obama wants Israel to go back to the boundries of 1967 when the Golan Heights belonged to Syria and this enemy easily fired "DOWN" on the Jewish settlers below. Realise that ISRAEL at that time was only "8 MILES WIDE" Why don't you sell your present home and move to this area looking up at an anti-Israel enemy that wants to KILL, MURDER AND ELIMINATE the people below, INCLUDING YOU IF YOU LIVED THERE!!!!!!!! I am not Jewish but a Catholic who served in WW11 and Korea in the U.S. NAVY, viewed this area of the Middle East and saw what could had happened before 1967. It is easy McNAMARA31 TO EXPRESS YOUR VIEWPOINT WITHOUT THE EXPERIENCE AND POTENTIAL ELIMINATION OF PEOPLE THAT I SAW!!!!!!!!!

Morninghours...I agree with you. Instead of having pride in what was accomplished by Obama and The Irish Brigade some continue to hate and smear. People who have seen Fox News in the states sadly know how the Obama haters on this website have received their information. Some people would rather follow a network with no journalistic integrity what so ever headed by a man who was the media strategist for the Nixon, Reagan and Bush and believe that their smears and misrepresentations are fair and balanced. Fox News has successfully divided America with the use of repeated false distortions until its viewers believe them as true as seen here in the last few days. They follow the infamous Fox “Some people Say” or “A very reliable DC Insider source tells” brand of journalism that never states a “factual” source for their misinformation and will only cover stories that fit their “Obama is not one of us” narrative. A media poll during the Bush administration showed that the Fox viewers had the highest score of believing incorrect information than any other station’s viewer. So it is understandable these posters still believe Obama wasn’t born in the US, is a Muslim, had poor grades, bought his way into Harvard, is a socialist , is a communist, and on and on, because as Fox viewers they continue to choose to be misinformed. The very sad side to this is not only is it destructive to the viewer it is completely destructive and divisive to America.

jdi2269, you're going to be so disappointed when President Obama is elected to a second term. Just who do you suppose could beat him? Newt (just as soon as he decides what he stands for and who he's married to)? The pizza guy? Half-witted, Half-term Gov. Palin? Mitzy, the ex-Gov who hates Obama's Health Care plan even though he invented it? It's going to be a blast watching you Obama Haters choose your "best" contender.

The author of this article doesn't know that this was all orchestrated by Leon Panetta (who left the room fuming at Obama)? Obama had to be drug off the Golf Course again(he's wearing golf attire)& he got there late, and was OVERRULED by the Military leaders. A very reliable DC Insider source tells about the "Significant push to take him out months ago. Senior WH staff resisted. This was cause of much strain between HC and Obama/Jarrett. HC and LP were in constant communication over matter - both attempted to convince administration to act. Administration feared failure and resulting negative impact on president. Intel disgusted over politics over national security. Staff resigned/left. Check timeline to corroborate." HC-Hillary Clinton, BD-Bill Daley (former Mayor of Chicago(Thuggery-in-Chief), VJ-Valerie Jarrett, LP-Leon Panetta, CoC-Obama. Google "Obama overruled by military" ...and read it!
If Obama was soooooo "intelligent" why is there NO PROOF of it? No college records, no high school records, not "law school" writings, .... NOTHING that proves anything except HIS Economy, HIS spending, HIS "style" of corruption, HIS forced coercion to "buy" a government insurance product called "health care", and HIS Union payoffs with taxpayer money !!! This is just another propaganda piece of EVIL deception.
