President Obama…is not a miricale worker he is our President….once again you putting full blame on him…he has been and will be the best President we ever had….just check out he’s accomplishments…no other President will even attempt to do. People don’t be fooled when they talk about the polls……The Pres does not need to make excuses……because of the polls…just wait a while….the other cans will eventully show thier true colors….He wants to be president but he’s our cooroperation unlike what he gets from congress now….don’t fall for it….and stop using the president as your fall guy….if your running run on your own two fit…and stop using our president as a clutch…..President Obanma I hope your having a good one!!

I think Obama probably dreads it when he has a Jake Tapper interview because he’s aware that his normal political talking points just might not hack it.

Jake Tapper’s interview with Obama was the most boring, unenlightening exchange I’ve ever witnessed. Again, we had to watch softball questions from the liberal media which ended with talking about “his kids”. Thanks for the insight, Jake!! Next ,Terry McCann shows ONLY the battling between Republican candidates during the debate instead of the intelligent, insightful answers that many of the candidates gave and the positive response of the audience. Great show, guys – NOT!! I don’t know why I even watch. Always disappointing but not surprising. We all know who your favorite is.
