  Not mad or frustrated. Not a big fan of Obama either - didn't vote for him. Outside of the aHCA, I can't say I like much of his work. But I find it comical how people are consumed with him just like others were with Bush. One president won't make or break things; America's bigger than that

  Difference is that KB1 continues to do an end run on Congress with 'executive orders' in order to render the checks and balances inherent in the branches of government model moot, while GWB worked within the Constitution.

  Bush definitely expanded executive powers, and a lot of people weren't cool with that. It was something 2008 Obama promised to correct course on, but now he's going even further. If that trend continues to the next POTUS it's a real problem as it undermines the fundamental principle of checks & balances.
  
  If Repubs get the Senate, then rather than working with them (like pretty much every other POTUS with a divided/opposition Congress) Obama will either run his pen dry or spend a historic amount of time on the golf course. Possibly both.

  Ronald Reagan	381
  George H. W. Bush	166
  William J. Clinton	364
  George W. Bush	291
  Barack Obama	180

  Whoops the goes the hyperbole again. I guess king George the 2nd and St. Ronnie weren't end arounders.... they were sprinters

  ...only difference is one set of orders enhanced liberty while the other greatly restrained it.

  Sure Quacktard, The Dept of Homeland security was an enhancement. ( in a jackbooted kind of way)

  Department of Homeland Security was created via congressional approval.

  And here we have the true essence of it....
  
  If you like it, regardless of what 'it' may be, it stands for liberty, justice, and great American patriots. If you don't like it, it stands for liberal commie boogedey boo boo.

  After the whole Obamakare website fiasco, a part of me actually believes YES they did honestly lose the emails.

  What do you mean? Isn't this the most transparent administration ever??????
  
  This is another lie, you don't just "lose" e-mails. There is a always a back-up cache at any respectable business.
  
  How has Obama not been impeached yet? Complete incompetence.

  Purely tacticle, I suppose. Do you really want Biden as POTUS?

  The smartest political move ever was to pick The Human Gaffe Machine twice. Greatest protective cloak ever devised is to have a dunce a heartbeat away from the Oral Office.

  No, but maybe then would Obama's apologists stop blindly supporting him.

  No, but Lois Lerner needs to go to prison....crashed a hard drive? Are you kidding me? She sent emails to people, my guess is all of them saved them since she was so important. The government has a "cloud"-based server that keeps everything.
  
  How many more lies are we expected to tolerate?

  House steps up IRS probe over 'missing' e-mails...

  Nope. Many would still support him because he is halfrican, and many would lynch him because he is halfrican. Many would support him because he is a Dem, Many would impeach him because he is a Dem.
  
  If the man shit, many would say he did it wrong, The other side would thank for the meal and seconds.

  We should lock this thread now. The mastermind of the Benghazi attack has been captured. Captured on Obama's watch, might I add. All hail Obama! Press conference taking credit in 3...2....1...

  Maybe they can ask him if it was a youtube video that caused him to go crazy. If not, Rice should be fired today.

  Well, it's DEFINITELY a crime that Lerner was allowed to resign and keep her pension.

  Unfortunately, no one will be prosecuted with Holder running the show.
