      1. I am making an exception to my choice to refrain from responding to you.

        After 8 years in the White House, President Barack Obama left the office with a growing U.S.economy, a relatively peaceful world, and a sane foreign policy in place to deal with it…no thanks to the complete obstruction by the Republican Party. 

        The army of thugs you support are heading America into ruin. Just as the Meals on Wheels user found out, Donald Trump (and presumably those, like you, who support him blindly) is a lying, immoral, self-obsessed, traitor to the United States of America and its constitution. 

        You fool nobody. Your racist, elitist, obsession to make America a nation of "Christian" haters is being pushed by a cabal of greedy, hateful, capitalists who are perfectly alright with thousands starving so you can continue to play with your purebred dogs. I am sure they get the best of everything while you continue to promote an agenda that starves children and old people. You are the definition of hateful.

        I hope you don't worship Jesus Christ of Nazareth. You are the antithesis of everything he taught. You can go to your megachurch on Sunday and stand in front of the big screen and tell Jesus how much you love him……but he knows better.

        1. How's the campaign going Councilman?

          Obama is a fraud, bigly. No mater what color, or what country or what religion, he is, was and forever will be a fraud.

          You idiot! He gave Iran a path to the bomb. He threw Iraq back into chaos. The red line was crossed in Syria and he didn't do a damn thing.  Hundreds of thousands of Syrians dead and it's all on Obama.  Allowed  China to build islands in the sea expanding their territorial boundaries  without any objection. North Korea is advancing with improved ballistic missiles and improved atomic weapons.  Libya is now a failed state thanks to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  Payed ransom to Iran.  And you say kept the peace.  Kind a like a peace before the World War II right?

          At least the other Pols have some integrity, you have none. I much prefer my  purebred Champion English Springer Spaniel to the likes of a cur like you.

          You need to get your ass back on the sidelines, sucking your thumb again. By the way what is the address I can send a campaign contribution?

          1. And there you are, right on time, with your aforementioned, easily anticipated, fake alt-right bullshit! You are predictable, Impotent Peach.

            Oh, and it's paid, not payed. But you're probably a student of Betsy DeVos.

            1. Passionate Prune as usual doesn't have pertinent facts. "(Obama) gave Iran a path to the bomb…." That so-called path has been delayed by at least a decade. And Prune forgets that Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China all signed off. Would a reasonable thinker believe that either Russia or China want an Islamic bomb (besides Pakistan's, which is aimed at India) when they have restive Muslim minorities in the Caucasus and Sinkiang respectively?

              Prune: you ever been to either the Caucasus or Sinkiang? I’ve done Mt. Elbrus and also been to Kashgar. Can you even find either place on a map?

              Paid ransom to Iran…… Timing was bad, but that WAS money legitimately owed to Iran.

              "He threw Iraq back into chaos."  How so? Obama simply honored the withdrawal agreement signed in 2007 by President Bush when Al-Maliki refused to guarantee not bringing American soldiers up on war crimes charges.

              "Hundreds of thousands of Syrians dead and it’s all on Obama"  I will agree that Obama should not have drawn that "line in the sand" and then not follow through. But to blame Obama for the Syrian uprising and the atrocities committed by Butcher Assad is ludicrous.

              What's YOUR answer to North Korea? We can go all the way back to Reagan to find presidents who couldn't solve North Korea. And exactly how is a failed state in Libya Obama's fault? We didn't overthrow Gaddafi.

                1. You silly boy. Your link is nothing more than a political hit piece on Hillary; reminds me of those fake videos directed at Planned Parenthood. Other countries were hip-deep in getting rid of Gaddafi, including the British, French, and the former colonial power, Italy; plus local anti-Gaddafi groups. They mis-calculated. As for Benghazi, was it 7 or 8 Republican-led congressional committees that investigated Benghazi and found nothing? But, by all means, lock her up!

                  And I do notice that you’ve side-stepped my question to you about the Caucasus and Sinkiang. If you’ve been to Sinkiang, you’ll know the correct way to pronounce this word: Uighur. Of course, you can always take your typical lazy route and look it up on the internet.

                  1. Sorry, I haven't been to Crapaistan. But I'm sure you are an expert based on your travels. I suppose if travel is your measure, Rick Steves should be the UN ambassador.

                    And thanks for standing up for conservative principles. 

          1. Thanks, DP.

            This particular troll is arguably the most arrogant and hateful one we have seen in a long time. Not worth responding to, ordinarily, but when they start trying to blame President Obama for the disaster that was the Bush/Cheney presidency, I get a little annoyed. Then when they claim to be Christians…I get a little more annoyed.

            But again, thanks for the kind words,

            .

             

        2. Bravo, Duke — felt compelled to log in just to so say!

          Of course we all know that Pernicious Prune will chime in with a fake, alt-right list of phony talking points and a hurricane of spin in an attempt to fraudulently slam the undeniably great Obama. And that they won't be worth a single square of heavily used toilet paper.

            1. Reminds me again of the statement from Mark Twain which is relevant for "da Pear." Better to keep one's mouth shut and people might think you're a fool; than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

              IMHO, Obama was not a great president. However, the deck was already loaded and stacked against him from the start because of the economic mess he inherited and because of his skin color.

              1. the deck was already loaded and stacked against him from the start because of the economic mess he inherited and because of his skin color. 

                yes…completely.

                1. In your case, it's an "expiring mind." At least I can support my thoughts with well-grounded facts, unlike the "fake news" that you like to peddle. And if your only response is that I forgot something, then you truly are lacking in facts. Perhaps you could be an assistant for Sean Spicer. 

      2. If Obama left a stinking mess than what did Bush leave?  Anyone remember 2007 and 2008 and what Obama inherited in 2009?  That's right another dismal Republican recession just like the one in 1931.  Typical Republican MO to run the country into the ground while looting it for the rich.  It is hard to imagine just how disastrous the Trump Slump will be because the debilitating effects of ignoring the increased heat in the atmosphere won't fully impact our country until this petty band of thugs are long gone. People are going to look back on the Obama years and wistfully remember when they had health care coverage and clean water to drink.

      3. I thought the same about Trump nominees Pear.  How do you ever wash away the stink of being one of Trump's hand picked assassins with the express intent of destroying the faith and trust in our public institutions to satisfy Trumps Russian handlers.  Gorsuch looks like another Manchurian candidate with an agenda to destroy our judicial branch of government and it's counter balance to the executive.  The stench of a hyper-partisan Supreme Court judge with an activist agenda to change laws instead of interpret them will be a foul, farty wind for years to come.

        1. I think Gorsuch would turn out OK. I base that on over 200 of his legal colleagues in this state; from across the political spectrum; endorsing his candidacy. I think his grasp of the Constitution is better than Scalia's grasp. Scalia clouded his perception with thinly veiled partisan politics.
