CSM Hayden,

How do you read this station?

If you could read this station you wouldn't make nonsensical statements.

Sir, you use flowery rhetoric...and you can laugh all you want...but he has been a horrible president. Leaders build consensus and he has certainly proved inept at that.

The GOP doesn't want consensus.

No offense Sir, but this is an incredibly loaded question and these 'facts' are not worthy of defending.

I love the idea of having a president and being able to say I disagree with some of his tactics without being executed. With that said he has done a lot for the Civilian job market, unfortunately being a Service member who is married to a veteran I have to say he has done nothing for our Government employees, more specifically the Service members. Our pay raise was pretty much 0 this year and we still have a lot of issues with the Veterans Affairs Health Care system. Watching my husband go through this is disheartening.

SGT(P) Crystal Marie France - If you have the option to use Tricare or Medicare I recommend it. I just about snapped with the care in Phoenix. Tucson is 100x better but some things still require outside referrals. When they try to guilt trip your man with "it costs us extra", smile, wave, and get the civilian referral. They are very polite when they explain about their budget and staffing problems, but if we turn down outside referrals we are helping them bury the problem again. Tell Household 7 to hang tough. Regards.

It's really hard to try to read something that's all caps. It's unnatural. Your point would be better served in the future by not doing it.

I saw a thing on the 'net a while back. Someone had posted a note all in caps. Someone tactfully posted back, "There is a Caps Lock key on your keyboard that you can engage or disengage."

And the person posted back: 'HEY THANKS. THAT IS A BIG HELP.'

I do not think that President Obama has been that successful.
President Obama has made some tough choices and made some good moves, but just as often he has appeared to slap the American people in the face.
The Iran Nuclear deal, why give so much to a nation that has stabbed us in the back previously and even after announcing that the accord had been reached said that they will continue to do as they please.
Pulling troops from Afghanistan because he made a promise to do so. And now look, we are going back slowly but surely and probably in the next year or two will be back in full scale combat operations.
Trading 5 Taliban for a deserter. I could understand a 1 for 1 trade, you don't give 5 officers for 1 enlisted unless your just not getting proper advice.
Making off hand comments by comparing the Crusades to ISIS.
Making off hand comments at the Easter Breakfast about Christianity and saying that's a discussion for another day. Why start something if you do not intend to finish it?
Taking credit for killing Osama bin Laden, yeah as Commander in Chief he made the final decision but remember it was military members who actually pulled the trigger.
Affordable Care Act, now that's a misnomer if ever there was one. As soon as it was announced almost every health care insurer raised rates and as we know most people ended up switching doctors and not by choice.
President Obama adding fuel to the racial tension by seemingly siding with Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and others, even sending delegates to attend their funerals, but when 2 NYC police officers are assassinated in their car by a black criminal, you heard very little from the White House.
President Obama going to the slain South Carolina Pastors funeral and getting on a soap box about gun control, I mean really could he have been any more disrespectful. A funeral is to honor the deceased by saying all the good things about that person, not using it as an opportunity to push an agenda.
So overall I do not see President Obama as being that successful.

Lol, I can't compare him to every president . And he has gotten everything he wanted. If you say anything against his policies then you are called a racist by his toadies. Because of Bill Clinton, North Korea has a nuclear bomb. In ten years so will Iran. If that is what you call success.

Take a look at the good Captain's year's of service, SSgt (Join to see), he spent the bulk of his Enlisted career serving under Nixon, Ford, and Carter, but all of his Commissioned time was during the Reagan era. Can you imagine how unhappy he must have been?

How unhappy he must have been Major Hoiland? I hate to think what the Men and Women working under him may have been subjected to... His rants bring to mind Tyrannical Marine played by Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men"...

Typical liberal propaganda. Jobs created, but what about the lost jobs? Check this article
http://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/how-good-is-job-growth-the-chart-obama-doesnt-want-you-to-see/
Furthermore, what this nation has lost during this administration cannot be simply measured in dollars. The loss of respect as a nation, to our police force, our military, the moral decay in which we are, the bankrupt state of our economic system, that damage is something that will take more than Trump to repair. Only by turning to God and common sense economic principles can this nation be saved.
