Unfortunately for him he has had the Republican party who's goal is to get him out of the White House by full court pressing him.
I forget. What party had control of both congress and the White house Obama's first two years in office?

Peter Schiff was another guy who was laughed at for his predictions.
Actually I still laugh at Peter Schiff. How's that hyperinflation coming along?
Schiff is a classic example of a group of people extrapolating genius from a single experience.
He had the repubs for only 1/2 his presidency. The only thing he can do is crete federal jobs? Wow. How about he can get the government the hell out of the way. I am not sticking up for the GOP they are messed up. But so is Obama.
I think the thing that most people fail to see is the little soap opera they put on for the news.
Obama is a puppet, and always has been a puppet.
He does what the big banks, the big corporations, and the Federal Reserve tell him to do.
For them that means more war, more spending, more laws, more regulation, and of course less citizen rights (obviously stating the The Patriot Act and The NDAA).
He came into a mess it took him too much time to get his feet under him. Like I said he hasn't done everything that we need but he has tried to no avail to get some things going. The NDAA is horrible legislation and Obama should have blocked it but he is trying to play the game. He can't get what he wants passed without giving a little in the direction of the GOP and this is right down their alley in the Patriot Act type of legislation.
New'ts libelous and inaccurate characterizations of Paul just made my guts wretch in the link above. So, no, I'll never vote for him. I suppose OB might come around and try to say how inaccurate my statements are. Well, I could write a book with careful footnotes and citations to nail the point down, but it's common knowledge now that the mainstream media won't actually report the news unless they can spin it to conform to the progressive ideals, and our public educators are similarly liberally biased, "progressives" who support a particular view of the government being the 'manager' of choice to solve whatever problems we think we have. The politicians we've had have voted for a lot of legislation, and the politcal parties have pushed and shoved each other trying to lead the charge forward to a particular vision of the future that entails a managed world with thousands of bureaucracies of "professionals" sitting in their chambers writing law for mankind, to be handed down from their UN or other governance subgroups, without any electoral process at all.
"C'mon OB. Admit what NGOs are, and how they're set up and funded principally by corporate or elitist wealth. Tell when I will ever get to vote for one of the "elites" who gather to make the rules for our planet."
Then try to tell me how the NEA stands in regard to upholding and defending the United States Constitution.
Ok, so there's a website called LIGNET that has articles written by former intelligence professionals, but now operating privately. . . .
A lot of Americans go abroad and talk to a lot of people, and some come home and tell their stories.
Do you think we can have good news reporting without an official propaganda agency?
Fundamentally, I look at our agencies as biased in favor of some supposed "American" interests.
I know the Queen of England gets a daily report handed to her from some trusted overseers of British intelligence networks, and I think the Israelis have an agency that is pretty top-notch, as do the Russians. But all of these, likewise, serve "interests".
An American foreign policy of "Alliance with none, Commerce with all" is the sort of new world order I think I would be happy with. Yes, we need to assess military threats to our nation, and address issues like control of our borders, and I suppose as long as the "American" interests are somehow attached to or dependent on preserving the status quo it might relate somehow to our well-being in certain respects. But more and more, the financial "interests" have roots or tentacles going overseas, and consider themselves "citizens of the world" more than Americans, and that's why I think it's actually more harm to us than good to be having these official agencies serving un-American causes.
