President Barack Obama - Term 1 and 2 Thread

[Boomchild]

K.C. I did see in the local news that the entire Philadelphia legislature is not going to the inauguration. I question how many were actually planning to be there in the first place. Anyway, it amazes me that people still want to live in that dive of a city. Especially since they introduced their ridiculous "soda tax". If you buy a two liter of soda it will cost you about 5 bucks there. The legislature went on to claim that retailers were raising the prices on soda. If that isn't funny enough,they were mad that the retailers just didn't change the shelf prices to include the tax. Instead they list the tax right in plain view on the receipt.

I'm going to disagree with you. Had it been one of the other Republican presidential candidates who won, I'm confident the scouts would jump at the chance to be there. Drump's a divisive candidate who alienated a number of groups during this campaign. That's a fact that even Hannity would likely concede.

My comment was more about the obstruction, boycotting, demonstrations in general. Not specifically the Girl Scouts. I believe it has more to do with Trump pissing off the MSM and the establishment. Both Democratic and Republican. None of them thought in their wildest dreams that a non bought and paid for outsider could cinch the Presidency let alone a nomination from one of the major parties. Their insider globalist bubble has been burst and they are out for blood. Whether or not you like Trump the person, his positions and forth coming policies, you have to give him credit for pulling off one of the most amazing political events in our history.

He looks like a mannequin. WTF is he looking at, an olive that got lost in the carpet?

[Boomchild]

Well, I'm being told the Girl Scouts are denying the story about them refusing to attend. I'm told it was planted by insiders for Planned Parenthood. There is alot of fake news out there. I got the story off Yahoo news feed. There is also a story on Yahoo about 200,000 bikers showing up tomorrow to run over liberal protesters that is a fake story. The one that disturbs me most is the "Inside Story" the the CIA is planning to murder Trump. Some of this shit is getting dangerous. Yahoo usually is a trusted source. They carry about 80% liberal fluff pieces, but once in a while they slip in a conservative story. The Mainstream Media is in overdrive tonight. So are the Alex Jones morons. I never use them anyway, but that is where the CIA story is getting a big boost from.

This is why I have chosen not to give time and credence to this stuff. I think amount of this B.S. is worse on Facebook. Nothing but adversity and doom and gloom. That being said I think it would be wise for Trump's team not to totally dismiss assassination threats. The globalist are off the rails and I would not put it past them to make an attempt. As to the inauguration, I'm sure there will be demonstrators, protestors and scuffles. But one thing is for sure, tomorrow Donald Trump will take the oath of office and will be the 45th President of The United States. That is all that matters to me.

It's the Trump robotic stand in. The same technology they used when Reagan was POTUS. We all know the federal government, they're decades behind in technology!

[Boomchild]

A lot of phones are going to go unanswered in D.C. beginning tomorrow.

"Overall, out of 690 positions requiring Senate confirmation tracked by the Washington Post and Partnership for Public Service, Trump has come up with only 28 people so far...the Partnership for Public Service suggested a president should have "100 Senate-confirmed appointees in place on or around Inauguration Day." At this pace, he won't have 100 nominees by the end of February, let alone having them confirmed and hard at work."

Let's just cross our fingers there's no national security crisis anytime soon.

Seeing that Senators work a less then a "snails pace", it would most likely not speed things up. After all they just love to ask question after question or basically hear themselves talk.

As I post this, there are 13:41 left on dumbass's watch. Hey, F.F., Boomchild, no pardon for the Clintons, yet. Tick,tick,tick.

Well, you know what they say, Wait for it..... I've always believed behind the public\party facade, the Clintons and Obama totally despise each other. I mean wasn't it Bill that made a comment to the effect "A few years ago this guy would getting us coffee"? I don't know how you smooth over a comment like that. Maybe Obama will leave her twisting in the wind but I'm not placing any bets. It could just be that it's taking a huge effort to draft her pardon due to what it would have to cover. The important thing is that it can't protect her nor the Clinton Foundation from civil suits. From what I've read there's plenty of substance to attack there.

[Boomchild]

I can imagine what is being destroyed before any investagation. No product to sell is my guess. Funny, it did so well while Hillary held office.

Of course it's been mainly ignored in the MSM. Too much of a "smoking gun". I guess the "pay to play" participants or to be more accurate, partners in "The Clinton International Crime Syndicate" have figured out the bitch and the rapist have lost their ability to gain influence in Washington. Man TCF paper shredders, bleach bit and drive wipers must be working in overdrive.

Thanks for sharing this. I posted this to FB. Lets see if they take it down.

The incoming president's first big achievement. Assembling arguably the worst cabinet in history. Enjoy your dog and pony show today. I'm sure Drump will say it's the biggest crowd ever for an inauguration, which will be yet another in the endless trail of falsehoods he's promoted.

Just a few examples: "(Rick) Perry advocated dismantling the Department of Energy as a candidate in 2012 despite having no idea what the department actually does. But don’t worry — he has recently become aware that his job will not in fact consist of traveling around the world telling people how great oil is. “After being briefed on so many of the vital functions of the Department of Energy,” Perry now says, “I regret recommending its elimination."

"Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury: Mnuchin has never served in government and has no experience in setting macroeconomic policy, but he did lead Donald Trump’s fundraising effort. In advance of his confirmation hearing, Mnuchin “failed to disclose his interests in a Cayman Islands corporation as well as more than $100 million in personal assets.”

"Scott Pruitt, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency:..As Attorney General of Oklahoma, he sued the EPA multiple times over its efforts to enforce environmental laws. In his confirmation hearings, he refused to commit to recuse himself from the cases among those that are still open, in the apparent belief that there isn’t anything wrong with essentially being both plaintiff and defendant in a lawsuit. When asked about lead poisoning, a vital and longstanding environmental issue that gained new urgency with the poisoning of the water in Flint, MI, he said that he had “not looked at the scientific research on that.”

If other presidents were able to get at least 100 people confirmed by their inauguration, Drump and his team should have been able to as well...were they not in so far over their heads that they didn't submit the names in time. I read Christie had a pretty robust transition plan drawn up that was still in process when Drump canned him, and that they're relying on those half-finished documents quite a bit in an attempt to try and navigate the waters. Can you say, "Cut off your nose to spite your face?"

Don't forget who the author of the birther rumor was.

Enlighten us. Who is the author of the birther rumor?

The nightmare is over. 36 years of Global Socialism done. The look on Hilary Clintons face today, priceless. When they announced Obama and he came out to cheers of Trump, priceless. Still no word of a Clinton pardon.

Free at last, Free at last! Thank God we are Free at Last!

[Memorex]

just adding to the hit count!

That's what the Clinton's usually say.

[Monker]

Bumping this up so Trumpians can post their Clinton/Obama bullshit to the correct thread.

Yeah, everything's going great right now. Whew.

[JBlake]

LOL. So the old Barack thread came back to life. Is it because the Trump thread turned into the relentless pissing contest between Monker and TNC? I swear dudes, that thread got old with those two pissing on each other relentlessly!
