#1 Labor Secretary Tom Perez and Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison have sent a clear message that Mr. Obama has left the party in a weakened state.

OK, but the part you're not getting is that all the things you applauded him for are what caused it.

#2 Left-wing Alinskyite efforts to 'fundamentally transform' the country are unpopular in a center-right nation? Stop the presses!

#3 When the Republicans put 2 dozen candidates into the running the dims put 2 out there. One was corrupt and the other was an old commie.

That is because the corrupt one had enough power to keep it all to herself from the git go. And nobody in the Dim party challenged it. Everybody on the left is to blame, everybody.

Now if the Rinos join in we may have a hope of improving the world.

#9 Great U.S. Presidents, and even good ones, are usually rooted in local politics. They are citizens of real places, and they carry the concerns and the insights of those places into office. Obama was a member of the New York Times tribe, people for whom an absence of local loyalties is a sign of enlightenment.

I'm inclined to think it has another basis. Then again, I'm not a professional in that area.

#10 Great US Presidents, and even good ones, are usually rooted in local politics.

Except when they come from Chicago.

#11 May the demoncrats keep being stupid for years.

Or, at least, more stupid than the Republicans are wont to be.

#12 Well, he failed to collectivize agriculture and smash the kulaks as a class.

Gave it the ol' college try, though.

#14 that's were our saving ineptitude and laziness came in to play charger.

If he'd been smart and not lazy we'd have been starving to death like the Kulaks by now.

#15 I think that was the 350 dollar a year Obamacare coverage with the 10K deductible.
