It's been well established that the guy who initiated the extra scrutiny on the 501c4 exemptions did so for good reason and nothing political, and not only that, identifies as a republican.

It's been well established that there was no scandal in Benghazi.

It's been well established that Obama was born in Hawaii

But facts don't matter to BillO and Faux

I'M THE GODDAMN PRESIDENT NOW STFU AND LET ME ANSWER YOUR QUESTION!

Scolding? Weakest goddamn scolding ever.... should have had Key and Peele bust in halfway through the interview

I don't understand the Benghazi criticism: Bill appeared to spend about half the interview badgering him about whether the word "terror" was used. Who cares?

Not a fan of Fox, bill-o, telly, corporate media or their use of propaganda, shills, etc. in general OR the presidency. However, it's no great mystery that the words terror, terrorists, terrorism and all derivatives thereof are tools used to foment agendas, fear, and control. People should care when they are constantly bombarded with jargon and rhetoric of any kind that's designed to influence public opinion, win elections, or sell you some horseshit the human race can do completely without.

"Here in America, if you work hard you can get ahead."
Thank you Mr. President. How simple. Now. Who's gonna win the 10-billion-dollars in revenue-producing bread and circus diversion??

Its about time someone asks real questions.

Such BS lies from Obama.

^HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Didn't 'Papa Bear' do this a few years ago? How did he get another interview after being such an unbelievable disrespectful asshole?

During the state of the union address obama said 9 million people had signed up for obamacare. Here he says 3 million.

Perhaps he 'misspoke'.

Or he counted the 6 million people he claims signed up for medicaid in that 9 million number.

Oh my, if Obama broke out in a Hammerdance...

If he did that, I'd almost be willing to overlook the whole unfortunate NSA thing.... almost...

Bottom-line real shit for any brain-dead motherfucker out there who's still got Obama's back or is, 'tooting his horn', or wants a few minutes in the purple-room to suck his balls?:

He signs an executive order which reads that he can detain an American for any fucking reason, then, is authorized to disappear their ass to Guantanamo (still open), some bunker in Poland, or fuck, under the fucking White House if he just wants to rub salt in awound, and NO ONE, No judge, no family members, no entire state protesting, can do a mo-the-r fucking thing about it...

An evil, lying fuck-stick of a charlatan disguised as a leader, and anyone still drunk on the kool-aids' a complicit buffoon.

Why run to Russia and be prepared to keep on running?? Ask Snowden, or at the very least, listen to what he's fucking saying kids....

Fuuuuck people, read some fucking books!

Has anyone in recent history ever been this rude to the POTUS in a television interview, democrat or republican? Aside from the guy that threw his shoes at Bush? Which, by the way, was really funny and I would definitely laugh if it happened to Obama.

Bush was a big-gov't progressive too, but at least he wasn't trying to 'fundamentally change' the country.

Things haven't improved, you know.

@lantern53
ill agree with the sentiment of your comment if not the wrongful use of certain words.

bush was a big business president.
perma tax breaks anyone?
to use the term "progressive" in describing bush is being inaccurate at best and dishonest at worst.

the bush admin pushed through some of the most extreme expansions of executive powers (thanks addington and woo).they are guilty of war crimes.they are guilty of spying on american citizens.they are guilty of perpetrating an illegal war based on total fabrication.
and all of it.every last bit...retroactive immunity.

now here comes obama.
and while his rhetoric is beautiful and poetic,having a strong populist flavor,the facts remain that not only did the obama admin CONTINUE the bush executive powers,his admin EXPANDED them!

/waves to the NSA

so i do not know where you get this "fundamentally changing" this country when it has been business as usual.
unless you are speaking of oabamacare and i would point out that obamacare is a health care provider bail out.

bush bails out the banks.
obama bails out big pharma and health insurance industry.

and we get to pick up the tab.

the rhetoric may have a progressive tilt but the reality is business as usual.socialism for the rich,capitalism for the poor.

and it bothers me that some people i know who were ultra critical of the bush admin are relatively silent in regards to obama.

wheres the bit where he "scolds" him, so I dont need to sit through the rest?

Settle down, this is a leftest site. They don't read or listen to facts. They are just in touch with the warm fuzzies in life that MSNBC airs.

Crying troll sounds awfully similar the racist wail....check a mirror sometime, and maybe lance that eye mote? Actual racists and trolls are rather choosy about who and what they engage.

Can you say anything coherently that doesn't sound like gramps rambling?

BULLSH!T!!! You engage anyone that will respond. You have never been choosy.
And in case you didn't understand...I'm saying YOU ARE A TROLL (and you appear to be racist judging by past posts, don't get it twisted though, so do I and many others).
In fact, you are the most sesquipedalian wannabe erudite troll I've ever had the misfortune to converse with (I have read worse, but not conversed). Once in a blue moon I actually agree with your point, but NEVER do I agree with your insulting, whining, angry, rambling, faux intellectual way of saying it.
PS ...and before you decide I'm the troll because that's been YOUR experience with me (I admit, I probably look trollish to you), I ask that you note that YOU are the only one I respond to in this manner, and I do it based on our past conversations and your past postings. On the other hand, you pick fights with nearly everyone on the sift, then lambast the sift for being homogeneous (which it's not) and insist that we NEED you here and actually want your ranting and anger. I agree we need dissenting ideas, but not that we need the trolling. I wish you could see that they are different things and separate the two. (To be honest, I don't mind the racism if it's in jest, but I do insist on calling it racism if it is.)

I like that word. Thanks @newtboy

That's funny, I recall the Bush/Bushite mantra being '9-11 changed EVERYTHING' and proclaiming 'if you're not with us, you're against us'. If that's not 'fundamentally changing the country' I don't know what is.

Some things have improved since Bush from my viewpoint, and other things have gotten worse. Statements like yours are useless since you don't define "things". When I see/hear that kind of argument, I expect the one making it to use the 'those aren't the things I meant' kind of argument, allowing them to continue complaining without explaining what the problem really is. Perhaps that's not what you mean to do, and you'll explain which 'things' are worse while admitting that some other 'things' are better? Perhaps not, and you simply want to say 'under Obama everything is sh!t because he's a turd'. I can't tell.

Me too...my favorite since I was small.
I like to call it the foot and a half long word...sesqui=1 1/2 pedalian=footlike it's the odd word where the strange Latin roots seem to mean oddly close to the actual definition, in a completely different way.
The definition I recall for it was 'long and ponderous'

Yes...because if we don't agree with the angry anti-Obama right wing BS we MUST by definition be brain dead leftists wishing we had an American Che' to take us into socialism.
I am so sick of that insanity, born from 'if you're not with us you're against us' mentality fostered by the right and clearly stated repeatedly by their leaders. Because many free thinkers see the right spouting BS and vitriol constantly and call it out does not make them leftists as you would like to claim.
That's a simple minded ploy to allow one to ignore any descent from a narrow minded argument that can't stand up to real scrutiny. At least, that's how it looks from here.

Ok My racist friend his we go.

Bush 42 was terrible and turned me away from the Republican party. Bush spent like a drunken sailor.

But Obama has spent so much more $ and obtained so little results for that spent Trillions that yes I believe that he will go down in history as one of the worst Presidents. Obama will make Jimmy Carter look good.


Sure Bush sounded stupid when he spoke but he was not dumb . Obama speaks extremely well but what he speaks about I am dead against. To me everything he proposes. is wrong, very wrong.

@ VoodooV and newtboy-Again with fucking convenient labels which magically exempt you from thinking beyond your own filters and judgements.

Cry Racist-Is Racist-The first to scream the label from the rooftops is most-likely the racist himself. The same goes for 'TROLL!' If you can't process the comment through anything but your damaged filters, it's not my fucking problem, it's your own.

Not responsible for your emotional well-being. You are.

As far as Obama goes, the economy is no better while he added 6 trillion to the debt; he's divisive to the country since now racial tension is higher; he has no regard, or very little for the Constitution, since he essentially said he will do what the Congress (which has been duly elected) failed to do, etc.
So, yeah, Obama is pretty much a failure. Dude can't even wear a tie. Also he puts his feet up on all the furniture. He's an academic with little to no life experience except being schooled by a communist porn-author and being raised a muslim in Indonesia.
Otherwise, at least he aint fat like Chris Crispie.

^"he's divisive to the country since now racial tension is higher"

Oh my fucking God.

This country has a number of bald faced racists, and because they are FUCKING BALD FACED RACISTS, that is Obama's fault?!!!????

You take the cake. My god.

Yes, of course, the economic crash and Bush era Republican backed policies had no responsibility for that rise in debt. (head hits wall) You must be one of those who believed the hype that he had spent more than all other presidents put together in his first 1/2 term...I heard that often and had to constantly remind my friends of the facts and the numbers, which they usually agreed with, then quickly chose to ignore or forget and start the same BS argument and claims again a week later. It's maddening! He's spent far too much, but no worse than his predecessor that had a surplus when he started office, in many respects better.
I wish those who claim the president ignores the constitution would actually read it, including ammendments. The president has the LEGAL right to make 'presidential decrees' and the like, and to act in many ways without congresses go ahead, thanks to the Bush era he can almost declare war! Much of what he tries may be overturned by congress if they can get their shit together (but they can't). Don't take it wrong, I'm not happy to see this being done in most cases, and certainly not as a run-around of congress, but it's not against the constitution as it stands today, and those that make that claim are simply wrong and have been misled.
I'll just ignore your last paragraphs, they are not legitimate or reasoned arguments, just name calling.

I don't watch MSNBC... or NBC... or Fox News for that matter.

But you know... keep on denying climate change and then have the gall to tell other people they don't read or listen to facts.
