President Obama's Excellent Week
 
President Obama just had the best week of his presidency, so far.

Monday - Confederate flag comes down

Wednesday - His trade bill passes

Thursday - SCOTUS rules in favor of Obamacare

Friday am - SCOTUS rules in favor of marriage equality

Friday pm - President Obama gives an amazing eulogy in Charleston, SC for the murdered minister of the Mother Emanuel church, and eight others, and breaks into song, singing "Amazing Grace" to the 5000 assembled guests.

Obama deserves a day off, hopefully he can go golfing. And BTW: just to irritate the rightwing, he traveled to Charleston on Air Force One. He even graciously invited Speaker Boehner to ride along for his first trip on AFO.

The common theme for all the events of this past week is equal justice for all, just what this country was built on. Hurrah. Hope and change we all can believe in.

Hmmm...one week out of how many? Even a deaf, dumb and blind squirrel gets the nut on occasion...if this is your shot at pragmatists in lieu of dreamers it's a bit wide of the mark....

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court also upheld the Fair Housing Act protecting everyone from discrimination, and on Monday, Senator Leahy (D-VT) proposed a bill to replace the Voting Rights Act, which was gutted by the Supreme Court back in 2013.

Everything is relative. How are we doing on the rising health care costs?
How are we doing on the $500 billion savings we were to get from Medicare?
How are we doing on the dirupting and destroying of ISIS?
How about our military having to hitch rides to be able to deploy troops?
Or having to hitcha ride to space?
How about cyber warfare? Who is doing what to be sure we are not disabled as a country.

All this minority, special interest, lbgt and all the crap some are ballyhooing is nothing more than picking fly crap out of pepper.

Let's measur Obama on those things that are or will affect the lives of the masses and the integrity of America........screw the small stuff!

Thought the eulogy he gave was an outstanding race baiting political speech cemented by a phony rendition of Amazing Grace.

What did you expect? Exactly what you saw because that's what you want to see!

I heard no race baiting at all, I loved the part on how God works in mysterious ways and while the President signs no better than I it definitely was NOT phony.

Get past your politics......

If you have ever watched a building be imploded you will understand what our current administration is doing to this country. I'll go one better all of our politicians are doing. To destroy you must first weaken the interior and that is what is happening for the last 6 years. And I will still go one better for the last 30 + years. But hey that is just my opinion(and many more).

For Obama


For President Obama and America, this past week is one for the history books and the results will last for decades to come.

Guest 06-27-2015 01:57 PM

God help us.

Good grief, you poor thing.

Did you just wake up from a seven year coma? I have great news for you: Dubya ain't the POTUS no more. Our once great country is well on the way to recovery from the disastrous Bush years.

Best wishes.
