President Barack Obama - Term 1 and 2 Thread

[Boomchild]

When does this thread shut down and Trump Term 1 Thread begin? Or does this one keep going to rehash the Obama years and most likely the coming investigations into his people's corruption?

I don't think anyone is stopping you from starting a Trump Term 1 thread. Thanks for the encouraging words in suggesting he could end up with multiple terms in office.

[Boomchild]

Wow check out this quote from Kurt Cobain from 1993.

[Boomchild]

Boomchild taught me about the Constitution and Pardons the other day. I was thinking about this today and wondered if any legal eagles might chime in. Obama can pardon Clinton with no charges. But what does he pardon? Will he pardon her for lying under oath? For Treason? For Extortion? Child Trafficing? Will he have to state the reason for the pardon? He would have to pardon her for something. If he does, he'll have to out her. If the Congress holds out for two months with no charges, what does he pardon her for? How does he pardon her without hurting the Democratic Party even though it's quite clear liberals would only care if a conservative acted like that.

These are good questions. I think that there may be a way to make it some kind of blanket pardon. But I'm not a hundred percent sure on that. The powers are limited with respect to certain types of crimes as well. But this would only be a limited out for her. The Clinton Foundation is also going to face multiple civil suits which a pardon will not help her there. I think that Obama is going to be very careful on what he does since it will effect how people will view his quote "legacy" and it's effects on the Democratic Party.

It's official, Glenn Beck has gone totally insane! To think that back in the day I listened to this guy when he was just a local talk radio host.

I quit paying any attention to him years ago. Was never a big fan, but originally found him interesting. He just seems to have gotten more bizarre.

The sad part is that he has written some good books such as the one he did on gun control. At some point he just lost it and ventured into Alex Jones territory. I think the tipping point was when he ventured into TV broadcasting.

Hey Mike. You’ve been very quiet. Everything OK? I just wanted you to know that I voted for you. I was also hoping you might explain what the hell happened on Tuesday, and say something to make me feel better about my fellow man.

Hi Carol
Last Friday, my dog posted a video that featured a man licking a cat with the aid of a device that’s designed for the specific purpose of making it easier for people to lick their cats. I’ve been silent ever since, because frankly, I couldn’t think of a better way – metaphorical or otherwise - to express my feelings about this election cycle. The entire country it seems, has been preoccupied with finding a way to lick a cat without actually putting their tongue on it.
Too oblique? Too weird? Ok, how about this analysis:

Back in 2003, a very unusual TV pilot called Dirty Jobs, Forrest-Gumped its way onto The Discovery Channel and found an audience – a big one. For Discovery, this was a problem. You see, Dirty Jobs didn’t look like anything else on their channel. It wasn’t pretty or careful. It took place in sewers and septic tanks, and featured a subversive host in close contact with his 8-year old inner child who refused to do second takes. Everyone agreed that Dirty Jobs was totally “off-brand” and completely inappropriate for Discovery. Everyone but the viewers. The ratings were just too big to ignore, so the pilot got a green-light, and yours truly finally got a steady gig.

But here's the thing - Dirty Jobs didn’t resonate because the host was incredibly charming. It wasn’t a hit because it was gross, or irreverent, or funny, or silly, or smart, or terribly clever. Dirty Jobs succeeded because it was authentic. It spoke directly and candidly to a big chunk of the country that non-fiction networks had been completely ignoring. In a very simple way, Dirty Jobs said “Hey - we can see you,” to millions of regular people who had started to feel invisible. Ultimately, that’s why Dirty Jobs ran for eight seasons. And today, that’s also why Donald Trump is the President of the United States.

I know people are freaked out, Carol. I get it. I’m worried too. But not because of who we elected. We've survived 44 Presidents, and we'll survive this one too. I’m worried because millions of people now seem to believe that Trump supporters are racist, xenophobic, and uneducated misogynists. I'm worried because despising our candidates publicly is very different than despising the people who vote for them.

Last week, three old friends – people I’ve known for years - each requested to be “unfriended” by anyone who planned on voting for Trump. Honestly, that was disheartening. Who tosses away a friendship over an election? Are my friends turning into those mind-numbingly arrogant celebrities who threaten to move to another country if their candidate doesn’t win? Are my friends now convinced that people they’ve known for years who happen to disagree with them politically are not merely mistaken – but evil, and no longer worthy of their friendship?

For what it’s worth, Carol, I don’t think Donald Trump won by tapping into America’s “racist underbelly,” and I don’t think Hillary lost because she’s a woman. I think a majority of people who voted in this election did so in spite of their many misgivings about the character of both candidates. That’s why it’s very dangerous to argue that Clinton supporters condone lying under oath and obstructing justice. Just as it’s equally dangerous to suggest a Trump supporter condones gross generalizations about foreigners and women.

These two candidates were the choices we gave ourselves, and each came with a heaping helping of vulgarity and impropriety. Yeah, it was dirty job for sure, but the winner was NOT decided by a racist and craven nation – it was decided by millions of disgusted Americans desperate for real change. The people did not want a politician. The people wanted to be seen. Donald Trump convinced those people that he could see them. Hillary Clinton did not.

As for me, I’m flattered by your support, but grateful that your vote was not enough to push me over the top. However, when the dust settles, and The White House gets a new tenant, I’ll make the same offer to President Trump that I did to President Obama – to assist as best I can in any attempt to reinvigorate the skilled trades, and shine a light on millions of good jobs that no one seems excited about pursuing.

Like those 3 million “shovel ready” jobs we heard so much about eight years ago, the kind of recovery that Donald Trump is promising will require a workforce that’s properly trained and sufficiently enthused about the opportunities at hand. At the moment, we do not have that work force in place. What we do have, are tens of millions of capable people who have simply stopped looking for work, and millions of available jobs that no one aspires to do. That's the skills gap, and it's gotta close. If mikeroweWORKS can help, we're standing by.

If not, I suppose we'll just have to find another way to lick the cat.

This quote is not given in context whatsoever. What he is saying about Obama is that because of the bad behavior he recognized in himself towards Obama on a few occasions, he was able to become a better man. He is not saying that he's somehow come around to agreeing with Obama on anything, just that he feels he has grown as a person.

He is also not a Black Lives Matter supporter. He simply realized that not all folks involved in Black Lives Matter are bad people. He knows good people who are involved in that movement that are good, honest folks, not bigots like some believe. That doesn't mean that he supports the organization's goals or the methods the leaders of it have used and are using.

I'm not a Beck apologist and find that I disagree with him more than I used to but he's been taken way out of context on both of these matters. I still often listen to his show and had to laugh when I heard this stuff going around.

So a fox reporter asked in an interview, does the fact that Trump switched from Christie to Pence to head up his transition team does that mean his presidency off to a shaky start. Give me a fucking break.

Light appearing at the end of the tunnel. The light the Media is in overdrive to destroy.

Stocks closed mostly higher Friday, with the three major indexes posting their best weekly gains of the year on the back of a surprise Republican sweep.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed 39 points higher, with Goldman Sachs contributing the most gains.

For the week, the Dow rose about 5.4 percent, marking its best weekly performance since December 2011.

"I think you're seeing a transition from a government that had its thumb on growth to a free economy," said Bruce Bittles, a chief investment strategist at Baird. "We're now looking at an economy that can reach its full potential."

Light appearing at the end of the tunnel. The light the Media is in overdrive to destroy.

I wouldn't get too excited about the economy just yet...

Nominality is meaningless if the underlying fundamentals are dishonest.

Most historical econ indicators, heavily distorted by subzidation before the election... still are.

The banks are still carrying all that toxic debt from 2008 (none of it has been washed away), it's just hidden with the suspension of the GAAP "mark-to-market" rule...

Average GDP growth is still tepid

The Workforce Participation Rate is at 30 year lows.

The U3 is skewed by folks who are no longer counted..


There will be no light at the tunnels end until the debt is resolved, and the indicators will revert to the mean.. (which BTW are pointing in a recessionary direction) and that will be a nasty wake up to the reality regarding the true state of the economy.



Trump will be President.. but nothing has fundmentally changed in the economy.

Father of slain Dalllas police office is sueing George Soros for $550 million dollars for inciting violence. RT reported: The father of the Dallas police officer who was killed by a lone gunman during a Black Lives Matter protest is suing the organization’s activists and George Soros for $550 million. In a separate suit a Baton Rouge police officer is suing for injuries sustained during a BLM protest. The father of Patrick Zamarripa filed a lawsuit against Black Lives Matter and other groups for allegedly “inciting a war on police” that led to the death of his son. The lawsuit filed in US District Court in Dallas on Monday seeks $550 million in damages. “While Defendant Black Lives Matter claims to combat anti-black racism,” the lawsuit said, according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram, “the movement has in fact incited and committed further violence, severe bodily injury and death against police officers of all races and ethnicities, Jews, and Caucasians. Defendant Black Lives Matter is in fact a violent and revolutionary criminal gang.”

I will be surprised if either of these are successful. Soros can spend millions defending it before it becomes easier to settle and/or take it to court. Both are law enforcement officers whose inherent job responsibilities put them in the line of danger. I think that argument will get it tossed by a judge before it ever gets to a trial, if they don't settle. That said, if some specific individuals in BLM or other rioting organizations were named as defendants, that might cause others to pause before inciting the foolishness we have seen.

Again, you guys should really read this. Soros goes all the way back to Kennedy / Nixon. He put more money into Kennedy then his family did. That election was almost as rigged as Sanders / Cinton. ALMOST.

https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Party-Rad ... orge+soros

There is no need to convince me on this. I have been talking about this stuff for years. That this globalist new world order or one world government has been around for decades. That they have had a long, slow and methodical strategy. I even talked about it in this forum. I was considered a conspiracy theorist and off my rocker. I guess not so much now. Soros and others involved in this movement are pissed because we have just thrown a major road block in their plans. Hillary was supposed to be the piece that would have cemented their movement in our government that would be the point of no return.

[Boomchild]

I was thinking about these demonstrations turned riots. I am wondering if this is going to damage their base. Meaning are there going to be decent people in the movement that are going to look at these riots and think to themselves, this is not what I signed up for and leave the movement all together?

KILLING HILLARY: TRUMP’s HISTORIC LANDSLIDE By The Numbers …


The media won’t tell you this but Donald Trump CRUSHED Hillary Clinton in the recent election in three key areas:

For one, the above results by county show that he picked up a significant amount of the counties in the US. The picture is clear that most counties in America voted for Trump.

Trump won 57% of all EC votes.

HIllary turned in the Democratic Party’s worst Electoral College performance in 28 years

Thirdly, in total states it was a landslide. Trump won 31 states to 19 states won by Hillary or 62% of the states.

The mainstream will argue that Hillary beat Trump in the popular vote which appears accurate. According to the NYT she won 59,923,027 to Trump’s 59,692,974 for a difference of only 230,053 or 0.4%. But in California and New York Hillary beat Trump by a combined 4 million votes. If not for these two huge liberal states, Hillary would have gotten shellacked in the popular voting as well.

I always felt that Trump has incredible instinct. I was watching some commentary about his campaign and one commentator mentioned that his advisors were urging him to shift money to TV ads. Trump decided to keep the money and focus in their ground game and as we can see it paid off.

I am curious to know how much money she spent in the primaries and general combined. Has to be hundreds of millions, not including the oustide PAC and other money spent in support of her. Not a very good return on investment.

[Boomchild]

Possibly the biggest lie Hillary ever told, and that's saying something.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/11/10/top-c ... s-history/

Her "blame game" changes like the wind. It's Comey's actions, It's Obama not doing enough for her and now the media. The true answer can easily be found by pointing her to the nearest mirror.

What I heard is that that she had a 2 BILLION campaign war chest. Whether she spent most of it I do not know. What I can assume is Soros lost big time on his investment. Then had to spend more on his backup plan.

[Boomchild]

So I watched this interview with Roger Stone. In it he was discussing 650,000 emails found on Wiener's computer. He claims to have insider information and said that both people in NYPD as well as members of Congress have copies of all the emails. He has been told that they are treasure trove of corruption, pay to play, treason, human trafficking and sex scandals. He says that Comey is lying that nothing new was found. He thinks the best way to handle this is to find a unbiased prosecutor and take it to a grand jury. At a minimum he says, the people that have this information are not going to let this get swept under the rug. The whole thing is worth the time to watch.

Update, evidently Beck now wants to get on board the Trump Train. Sorry Glenn, it's already left the station. Good luck with getting Trump to give you the time of day.
