Obama's Presidency Hasn't Been Dedicated To Achieving Economic Growth In The Short Term, Or About Creating Jobs.

Why, Listening To Obama Talk About His Economic Triumphs Over The Last Three Years Might Make You Want To Move To The Country He Was Describing. Too Bad That Country Exists Primarily In His Own Head.

Hurtling The Pentagon Into An Unprecedented Budgetary Meltdown Is Horrifically Irresponsible. Obama Doesn't Care. This Is War - Not Against The Taliban, But War Against The Gop.
