Future history: "In 2017 the Republicans finally, after 30 years, were able to install their economic agenda, only to have it totally and completely reversed when the Democrats swept the House and Senate in the 2018 elections."
Ninety-fricking-four?! Is anyone really interested in his opinion? I will say seeing HRC with her arm round him did not help her cause.
As NW and mc above comment, what he fantasizes is ridiculous and would/could never happen.
Mr. Watson: without intending any personal disrespect, I would submit you have no clue when you say, with a supposedly straight face, that Obama (with Rand Paul, no less) has made progress against infringement of our Constitution.
But if you will cite examples, I might have to reconsider.
Mr. Page: the problem is absolutely Mr. Obama as he is perceived to be at the helm of American foreign policy. But I'll allow that it's not his problem alone.
You believe yourself "realistic", but you overlook Obama's actual words, which are clearly a deliberate lie and will only be believed by the most gullible citizens, or those most in denial about the ability of the US government to eradicate people's beliefs.
I'm willing to bet President Obama is very much looking forward to the end of his term.
"We will destroy ISIL and any other organization that tries to harm us..."
Utterly disingenuous bullsh*t. The only thing "we'll" be destroying is our Constitution. And, oh yes, the planet's ecosystem.
While it may be possible to destroy Daesh as an organization, the beliefs and ideas from which it has sprung will continue to thrive.
Best would be to move forward to a sustainable energy economy and eliminate the need for US meddling in the MIddle East (and beyond). Then provide the Israelis with an incentive to end the occupation and theft of Palestinian land and resources, as in no more US $$$$$$ until they work it out.
The present course of US foreign "policy" is the very definition of insanity and it appears Mr. Obama is unwilling or unable to change it.
Also, a country can make guns more difficult to obtain, but until that country can act in a way that will end the desire of individuals to commit violence, those people will find a way to do it.
