Barack Obama

That group has set its sight squarely on destroying democracy. Having listened to two economists in the past couple of days, as well as some historians, point to the "nationalistic tea party" and the damage we have yet to experience through their desire to keep poor people down and immigrants out, we need to post what this president has experienced, that no other POTUS has. Martin Wolf ought to be listened to, but with Paul Ryan and his agenda running the show, things are going to get a lot worse.

And here's an interesting issue that President Obama opted to side-step. Imagine what ruckus would have erupted had he taken this wise advice:

with racism growing at home, he really doesn't stand a chance to ever achieve an approval rating above 47% again. We probably have to live with a Republican Congress for his last two years, I hope more than anything that he will take a step to the left rather than work with the blackmailers of the GOP. I think he will work with them though. They are beyond cruel and vindictive. As are their policies. Thus far everything they've done over the past 30 years has hurt our economy as well as our quality of life. Obama is trying very hard to hold us together, but the GOP has become the Ebola of our nation - set on destroying itself.
