President Obama's mistakes are now so legendary ...

How legendary?

... so legendary that only an Obama-worshiper would deny their existence.

However, when it comes to Obama's mistakes, his approving of the military operation that resulted in the capture of the Benghazi suspect isn't one of them.

In short, the original topic of this thread is something that President Obama did right.

So legendary, that Cons everywhere simply let Fox News tell of their existence. So legendary that none ever dare look up anything to back up their claims. So legendary that you simply say that they exist and we have to accept it as fact.

Nice try.

The loan guarantee to Solyndra was just a (relatively) small part of a very large stimulus package, and while Solyndra soon went out of business, most of the other investments did not, and the overall Stimulus bill was very much a success. In retrospect, the investments should have been much larger, as President Obama requested at the time.

"We're the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad." -��Cincinnati, OH, Sept. 22, 2011

"I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." - on Wall Street reform, Quincy, Ill., April 29, 2010

"The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system." --in remarks after a health care round-table with physicians, nurses and health care providers, Washington, D.C., July 20, 2009

"No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." --making an off-hand joke during an appearance on "The Tonight Show", March 19, 2009 (Obama later called the head of the Special Olympics to apologize.)

"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!

Congressional Hearing to be held on if Obama is purposely trying to deceive the nation by telling 2nd graders on a trip that "The sky is blue, and the grass is green!"


Scientists confirm with House Republicans that indeed, the sky is NOT always blue, and grass ISNT always green.

Stay Tuned!

Dude, there are genuine scandals involving the Obama Administration that members of Congress are investigating.

Anyway, in case you missed it, earlier I said, "The original topic of this thread is something that President Obama did right."

Yes, President Obama did the right thing by authorizing the military operation that resulted in the capture of a terrorist.

No sitting President of the USA is flawless, and no sitting President of the USA is completely incompetent. Each sitting President makes good decisions and makes bad decisions.

That is why I consider it foolish to idolize any sitting President.

"We are all Keynesians now" was a quote by Friedman not Nixon.
I don't follow Naomi Wolff but I do admire Milton Friedman.

There isn't enough Beano in the world to eliminate all of the gas produced by D.C. politicians.

Not rambling, both Chinese and Chilean crackdowns were on massive protests regarding the economic changes taken on Friedman's direct recommendations to those countries. This also goes for Argentina formed roaming death squads to go after protesters.
