Your perception of successful and 70% of the rest of the country have an extremely wide gap between them, I consider Carter to be more successful than these last failed 8 years. If you owned a business then you would understand.

Jim Webb: Democrats need to focus more on 'white, working people' - CNNPolitics.com
If Jim Webb had his way, the Democratic Party would return to its "Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Andrew Jackson roots" and put a greater focus on "white, working people."

Your post is reminiscent of most everything coming from the administration.. "We are great, the best.. Tell us why you agree with us"
It comes across like the old joke
"Are you still beating your wife?"
No matter how you answer it's wrong.
-No (Ok so you were a wife beater?)
-Yes (OK so you are a wife beater?)
You have made a statement of personal opinion ,and asked everyone to tell you why they agree with you.
Sorry, wont play that game..

Sure, I set it up a certain way.
But no one has offered any evidence that it isn't the proper narrative.
The GOP -is- attacking the country.

The GOP is doing a much better job of attacking the country than ISIS is doing.
Senate GOP Obstructionists Throw Veterans Under The Bus-Vote Down Bill To Help Vets In Need Of Jobs
9/23/2012 @ 4:29PM
For those who continue to believe that obstructionism at any cost is not the goal of the Senate Republicans, consider the behavior of the GOP Senators who, on Friday, blocked a bi-partisan effort to pass a bill that would put veterans to work in jobs that look after the nation’s federal land while also giving our fighting men and women a leg up when it comes to getting them hired by local police and fire departments.
The legislation would have provided a relatively small allocation of $1 billion in funds to accomplish the goals of the program.
In order to bring the bill to the floor, a procedural vote was required to waive a technical limit placed on such spending as agreed to in Congress during last year’s budgetary fiasco. Despite the sum of money having been fully offset by cuts and modifications to other planned expenditures, Senate Republicans used the required vote to shoot down the proposed legislation as the Democrats, with some Republican assistance, were able to manage only 58 of the 60 votes required to accomplish the waiver.
GOP blocks COLA on benefits for disabled veterans and survivors
September 28, 2012
Despite what has traditionally been overwhelming support both in the past and unanimous support earlier this year in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Chairperson of the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs announced on Thursday that at least one Republican Senator was holding up a bill which would provide a cost of living adjustment (COLA) on benefits for disabled veterans and the spouses and children of deceased veterans.
...
Earlier in September Republicans in the Senate blocked a bill which would have helped veterans gain employment. Meanwhile at the end of August President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order improving the mental health services for veterans, military members and their families.
Meet the 40 Senate Republicans Who Betrayed Veterans By Killing $1 Billion in Jobs
Forty Republican members of the United States Senate betrayed veterans today when they decided that denying President Obama a victory was more important than spending $1 billion to create jobs for vets.
The Veterans Job Corps Act of 2012 would have spent $1 billion over five years to put veterans to work tending to federal lands, and in the nation’s police and fire departments. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) based her plan of FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), but Republicans opposed the bill because they said there is no proof that it would work.
Republican Sen. Tom Coburn claimed that there is no evidence that jobs for vets will work, “What we have is a bill that’s brought to the floor that has good intentions behind but shows the absolute laziness of congress in terms of really digging things out.

“...the difference between reported unemployment and all unemployment – including those on the fringe of the workforce – has remained pretty constant since 1994.
“Labor participation is affected much less by short-term job creation, and much more by long-term demographic trends. As this chart from the BLS shows, as the Baby Boomers entered the workforce and societal acceptance of women working changed, labor participation grew.
“Now that ‘Boomers’ are retiring we are seeing the percentage of those seeking employment decline. This has nothing to do with job availability, and everything to do with a highly predictable aging demographic.
“What’s now clear is that the Obama administration policies have outperformed the Reagan administration policies for job creation and unemployment reduction. Even though Reagan had the benefit of a growing Boomer class to ignite economic growth, while Obama has been forced to deal with a retiring workforce developing special needs. During the eight years preceding Obama there was a net reduction in jobs in America. We now are rapidly moving toward higher, sustainable jobs growth.”

Obama Outperforms Reagan On Jobs, Growth And Investing
Conventional wisdom is that President Obama has not created jobs, or grown the economy. But data shows he has outperformed President Reagan, and every other modern president

Politics have always been an essential part of America ever since 1776 and since that time we have had and bad leaders. From my perspective, the President has a tough job and does it to the best of his ability. If it wasn't for social media, we wouldn't here about half of the things he was doing, and I think that's why people have a negative stigma towards him. Plus, only a little over half the country voted for him so of course he's not going to be liked and theirs going to be biased opinions about him, but is he a bad President? No, he's just doing his job like everyone else. (Plus the President is there more so for international relations; he can create bills, but it has to pass through congress which holds most of the deciding factor.)

PO2 Robert Cuminale
Presidents doing their job enforce the laws of this country. His mismanagement of immigration is costing us billions of dollars in all areas. The IRS reports $10 Billion in EITC fraud. In one example 44,000 tax refund checks were sent to one address in Atlanta. People have observed Hispanics following the mail deliveries to empty mailboxes of refund checks. Locally (NC) a curious homeowner went to the mailbox before the guy could get there and found a treasury check issued to a Latino person. Postal Inspectors say it is a nationwide fraud.
Our emergency rooms are filled with them and nearly 100 of them have closed in the last five years because of losses. A few years ago a Congressman called him a liar during the State Of The Union Speech. It was at the point when he was claiming that Illegals would not receive medical care under the ACA. Two months later Democrats pushed through a bill allotting $25 Million to health care clinics in agricultural areas. Any idea who is using that subsidy?
The impact of these people will hurt us for decades. The US stopped immigration for 50 years in order to allow the those who had come in to prior to 1920 to acculturate and move out fo their ghettos. My neighborhood in Brooklyn Calabrese was heard more than English. That neighborhood is now gone and all Hispanic. In my present home, Charlotte two huge sections of the city have become totally Latino. We have children starting school who were born here who do not speak English when they start school. Because of the continuous high influx of Spanish speakers these areas will never acculturate.
The media has covered up and protected this man from the get go. His "autobiographies are fabricated, he would use the last name of his mentor "Frank" because we would know it was Frank Morgan, a man on the FBI's top 10 list of people to be picked up in a war with the Soviet Union. His mother, father and grandparents were Communists. He has stated that when he started college he immediately looked the Communists on campus. His neighbor William Ayres and his wife Bernadette Dorhn were fugitives for years for bombings and are Communists. Obama denied really knowing the man yet he announced his candidacy at a party in Ayres' home and Ayres wrote the preface to one of his books.
He taught college courses on Saul Alinskie's "Rules For Radicals". (Hilary Clinton wrote her 92 page thesis on them.)
We are teetering on the edge of the destruction of this country and its ideals. Another presidency like this one will finish us off.
The military has been remiss in its duty to the Constitution and should have removed this hater of it long ago.
