I am ashamed that this magnificent country has fallen on these times. There is no country (with power) which at this time thinks we are the country we were 8 years ago!
Obama has taken this proud nation, in a time of stress in the world, and managed to remove us from the sphere of influence almost single-highhandedly. More importantly, he has managed to allow the despots of the world....from China to Russia to N. Korea to Iran and much more to KNOW that we, as a nation, will do NOTHING in the face of anything they do!
What a sad moment for the United States of America!
Perhaps the future President will begin to reclaim the status of this country....But certainly not under the guise of the folks in the Hillary Camp who find Obama a magnificent leader!
Trump? Who knows what reality lies behind the facade of words of littlew worth but much deriding of everyone else.
Cruz? Who knows, but there is little chance he will prevail.
Rubio? Who knows, but he is light with experience, and frankly his finest chops have come int he past two days of return assualt upon the Trump deriding of any and all who seem a threat!
I am less than impressed, but then Hilldabeast is not a formidable person given a general election in which 60% of the electorate knew her not except as an old lady who was involved in politics.
Who knows....certainly not me!

Let us Frame Obama's Supreme Choice by His Own Actions!
Now the words of the orator come....he declares that there is "plenty of time" for his nominee, and no reason at all for the obstructionist GOP Senate to halt the process.
Several thoughts pertinent to the process come to mind.
First, this President, beyond the pale of any before him, has decided that he and he alone can decide many things decided in the order of the triumvirate of power for the rest of the 200 years we have been in existence.This fact alone should completely disqualify him from selecting a new Justice of the Supreme Court, and by his very nature and statements, further damaging the separation of powers in our constitution.
Second, this President has, again by his actions, demonstrated a complete and narcissistic refusal to accept any but himself as the decider of any government action, frequently, nay, mostly choosing instead to state his own mind, and replace the will of the people and the vast historical precedent because he "knows" he is right.
This second statement is backed by the absolute avoidance of any attempts by this President to reach out, and work with Congress, but rather to avoid entirely any form of communication with Congress, and then to quickly label the Congress as "obstructionist" because it did not agree with him.
No, this man, an absolute vision of narcissistic behavior is less than a qualified individual to decide the future balance of our Supreme Court for, possibly, the next three decades.
We are justified as a nation in asking to wait for a more sane and Constitutionally-enjoined President to decide such a matter! On that topic, let us pray we get one!

It is As I Have Feared!
Yes, it is that!
I believe this country has already been basically "done-in" by Obama and his efforts. I am sure that this man who promised to "fundamentally transform" our country has done so, much to the denigration of our country. We are less than we were before he came here, and he still has a year plus to act....and we have a compliant, subserviant, chicken Congress which will NOT stop anything he does!
We are screwed! Until January 2017....and then who will we have???? Hillary (we are dead as a nation).....Trump...(We are lacking common sense and will suffer inhumanities beyond belief...)
We suck as a nation right now, and it is because of Obama.
He is proud of this!

My apology for shaky/grainy video.....was taken with an old cheapo video camera.....prior to getting my SONY Cyber-Shot.

The Noise Is Deafening!
While we have just short of a year before we elect a new President, Vice President...(oh, and YES....a whole new House of Representatives plus 1/3rd of the Senate)...The noise is absolutely deafening. The yelling, screaming, blaming, doubting, PC Police in abundance from campuses to town halls....it is a shambles.
It is a shambles BY DESIGN!!!!
Hillary has to play hide-and-seek to avoid Death By Obama/Bengazi, et al.
The DEMs have to avoid any form of accountability or culpability on more issues than I have time or space to list here. AND, they also have to find out how to elect their ONLY viable candidate, The Hillary, without actually acknowledging that she IS their candidate.
The GOP has to try to find a way to avoid what they think is death in the form of Donald Trump.
And, we the voters are left to slog through the muck and mire, and try somehow to salvage from the bloated Govt., and the dissonant sound of Congressional/Senate Candidates, many of whom were serving when our median age voter was born, to select those who will represent the return to our Constitution!
My God, it is mind-boggling! Well, for those not drinking the Kool-Aid of party and anarchy. They have no choice as they follow the line, and therefor do not have to think!

"Fundamentaly Reform"
The words echo in my mind.....
President Obama promised to "Fundamentally Reform" this country....and he also ranted about making sure we were all covered by medical insurance as well as out of ALL wars.....
He appears to be nearing, at least, the 1st promise. He has changed our medical insurance to where only the really poor have it, and they find it impossible to use. Those who "HAD" insurance now find they either cannot afford insurance, or if they do pay for it the new deductibles are soo high the insurance will never pay for anything. Meanwhile the i nsurance exchanges set up under ObamaCare are falling like the leaves at the end of Summer!
However he is going to miss the end of all wars as his dilly-dallying, "I ain't takin the lead on nonthin!", position has brought us to a full exposure RIGHT HERE IN THE USA, to ISIS and other terrorist groups. He also is trying REAL hard to insure many refugees of Syria, some of whom carried out the France blood bath, are brought to our country.....portraying them as modern day "pilgrims!"......O.M.G.
Between the chaos he is creating here in this country, the ignorance concerning the French killings, and the avoidance of involvement in the Turkey-Russian dust up, he is leading us ever closer to WWIII......
Fundamentally Change! Remember the words and watch as this man creates chaos in his final year. There is a reason every US agency now has a small army, and there are maneuvers in this country unlike anything ever seen before.
I fear this coming year and what the man may accomplish.
Peace may become a scarce commodity as he takes away our "safe places" by design!

p.s.....add on....My thoughts are certainly not alone...READ IT!

There is a Difference!
The flyers/posts/signs are rampant on Facebook.......Everyone who has an opinion is considered wrong by one group or another. They all claim some sort of moral superiority!
You are wrong for not wanting "widows & orphans" to come here.....You are wrong for opening our country to every possible jihadist!
The facts are quite simple to me.
1. The formerly-acceptable refugees (give me your tired....etc.) are NOT the same as the refugees President Obama wishes to bring here. NO previous group came here expecting that we would conform to their ideology........THAT is not the plan for this country and never has been, and it has not been demanded by any group since we were formed! (O.K., well, you got me on the above in the fact that apparently many of the Illegal Immigrants from Mexico and other Latin countries fully expect us to provide dual-language signs, accept them as legals, provide them with all government benefits, and a few hundred other things!)
2. Experience in Europe, and other parts of the world has shown that the Syrian/Middle East immigrants arrive presupposed to demanding WE conform to THEIR beliefs.....from Sharia Law to acceptance of regulation of our long-accepted traditions soo as to not offend the 1% they represent. I call this run-amok PC.......something each of us is becoming much more aware of (HELLO Mizzou!)
3. If we, as citizens of this great country (the phrase is losing impact daily) do not halt the slide from pride to apology.....from loving what we have been for 200 years to apology for each and every imagined slight....then this country is DOOMED!!!!!
The possibility does not scare me for myself.....I will defend myself from any harm.....but scares the hell out of me for my kids/grand kids/great grands!
Time to take back our country folks.....from the very Government itself if it is too corrupt to be a follower of our Constitution .......
