Considering all the crap America has put up with and all of the scandals that have happened during the last 6 years under Barack’s presidency, I really wonder if we’ll make it to the next presidential election in one piece and if the next president will have the backbone and fortitude to turn this country around before it’s too late.
Barack has demonstrated that he’s both delusional & incompetent, where it comes to demonstrating that he has a firm grasp on what’s required to be the leader of the free world and addressing the oath he took to protect and defend the constitution of the United States.
We’re living is a very delicate time right now, Iran is on the verge of obtaining a nuclear bomb, ISIS is running free all over in Iraq & Syria, all of our so called allies are fearful of what Barack’s going to screw up next, our military and police are being degraded and down sized to the point to which they are demoralized and unable to fully conduct their jobs without the fear of retribution, our foreign policy in non-existent, which has enabled our enemy’s to fill the void that Barack has left open for them to just waltz right in.
I hope we can make it.
Will America make it to the next election?

Re: Will America make it to the next election?
Agreed. I'm conservative, so don't get me wrong - but I really believe the incompetence started during G.W. Bush. Disappointed to say the least because I voted for him, but the whole mishandling of Iraq screwed-up the Middle East big time. Yeah I'll say it - the region was better with despots like Sadaam Hussein, Qaddafi and Mubarak. Those people only understand despotism. And Ok - yeah I'll be that guy again: not everyone can handle democracy. Popular elected representative government was a complete failure in Egypt. That's because elections only work effectively with a healthy middle class and an educated public.
We should have stayed on mission and in Afghanistan - find the terrorists, eliminate them by supporting existing opponents, conduct missle strikes on gathering places and elimate high value targets with SpecOps. The same could have been accomplished when groups crop up like in Somalia and Yemen.
Unfortunately now everything is out the window because the governments that stabilized some of these places were left high and dry due to an extremely retarded American foreign policy - "embrace the Arab Spring and flowering democracy and such nonsense". Our Department of State meanwhile was told to hold back and "let things play out". This while our President goes on an apology tour to say "We're sorry to all the peace-loving Muslim folks that don't like us very much".
The world is a mess right now and what used to be a small brush fire in Afghanistan has turned into forest fire because of our refusal to engage with determination and an iron will. Unfortunately our country is too wishy-washy to stand for anything anymore. Hate to tell the truth here but a lot of that is because we have so many immigrants with different values and political leanings that to find a common cause is next to impossible.
It's why the democratic/liberal/progressive future looks so bright - they are all inclusive and stand for no tangible concrete values. They fight for everyone that is non-traditional, non-conservative and non-Christian. The trending demographics favor them, and the next Republican candidate won't have a snowball's chance in hell unless he does an amazing tap dance that woos the new people that are now like it or not, here to stay.

Re: Will America make it to the next election?
I'm guessing that it's difficult for some to grasp the concept of a United States President that hates the United States with every fiber of his being. But, that's exactly what we have ended up with.
Barry Soetoro is NOT incompetent. Delusional? That's debatable; it's certainly a possibility. But incompetent? Not by a long shot.
He promised change; he promised to fundamentally change America. He has succeeded.
If he was truly as incompetent as he appears, he'd also be drooling a lot, and be incapable of forming a coherent sentence. Hell, I doubt that he'd have the ability to walk, were he that stupid.
No, what appears as incompetence, is actually carefully calculated to destroy us. This needs to be understood. Actually, it needed to be understood several years ago. I guess that it doesn't matter now.

Rogers' Standing Orders
1. Don't forget anything.
2. Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds powder and ball, and be ready to march at a minute's warning.
3. When you're on the march, act the way you would if you was sneaking up on a deer. See the enemy first.
4. Tell the truth about what you see and what you do. There is an army depending on us for correct information. You can lie all you please when you tell other folks about the Rangers, but don't never lie to a Ranger or officer.
5. Don't never take a chance you don't have to.
6. When we're on the march we march single file, far enough apart so one shot can't go through two men.
7. If we strike swamps, or soft ground, we spread out abreast, so it's hard to track us.
8. When we march, we keep moving till dark, so as to give the enemy the least possible chance at us.
9. When we camp, half the party stays awake while the other half sleeps.
10. If we take prisoners, we keep 'em separate till we have had time to examine them, so they can't cook up a story between 'em.
11. Don't ever march home the same way. Take a different route so you won't be ambushed.
12. No matter whether we travel in big parties or little ones, each party has to keep a scout 20 yards ahead, 20 yards on each flank, and 20 yards in the rear so the main body can't be surprised and wiped out.
13. Every night you'll be told where to meet if surrounded by a superior force.
14. Don't sit down to eat without posting sentries.
15. Don't sleep beyond dawn. Dawn's when the French and Indians attack.
16. Don't cross a river by a regular ford.
17. If somebody's trailing you, make a circle, come back onto your own tracks, and ambush the folks that aim to ambush you.
18. Don't stand up when the enemy's coming against you. Kneel down, lie down, hide behind a tree.
19. Let the enemy come till he's almost close enough to touch, then let him have it and jump out and finish him up with your hatchet.
20. Don't use your musket if you can kill 'em with your hatchet.
