Sharing: A PRESIDENT WITHOUT A PARTY By Kipper Jones ·

November 4, 2014 at 10:46pm

I held back from commenting until the polls closed this evening, and now I will speak:

For all the Democrats who were afraid to campaign on the record of the Obama administration over the last 6 years, who somehow felt that a 25% drop in the rolls of the medically uninsured wasn't enough to tout. For those who ignored the fact that there hasn't been one catastrophic instance of foreign terrorism on our shores, and the alleged mastermind of the previously all imposing 9/11 'attacks' was captured and killed the way his predecessor had no plans of doing. You deserve exactly what you got. A resounding defeat!

The screaming we heard about the ridiculous gas prices have all but disappeared. The hemorrhaging job losses we were suffering under the previous admin have been replaced by unprecedented job growth, (55 consecutive months of job growth, totaling more than 10 million jobs, which is roughly 10,000,000 more jobs than the previous admin created in eight years). Not to mention, the economy was on the brink of depressive disaster the likes of which hadn't been seen in nearly a century, and now the stock market has ascended to record heights, the housing market is recovering, and our economic outlook is, as well, (64 consecutive months of economic expansion, eclipsing Ronald Wilson Reagan’s record).

Not to mention the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act, which was designed to to protect American consumers from unfair and deceptive credit card practices. But that wasn't enough.

Or the increased infrastructure spending after years of neglect, or taking steps to improve minority access to capital.

And for all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about the "deficit" and spending, the federal budget deficit has been reduced from 9.8% of GDP in Fiscal Year 2009 under Bush, to 2.9% of GDP in FY 2014.

Still not enough.

Advocated for and signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which made it a federal crime to assault anyone based on his or her sexual orientation or gender identity.

Pushed through, signed and demanded the Pentagon enact a repeal of the discriminatory “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy that forced soldiers to lie in order to be eligible to fight for their country.

POTUS even changed his mind and publicly expressed support for same-sex marriage. But that wasn't enough, either.

Even signed an Executive Order establishing a White House Council on Women and Girls to ensure that all Cabinet and Cabinet-level agencies evaluate the effect of their policies and programs on women and families, signed the Democratic-sponsored Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which restored basic protections against pay discrimination for women and other workers, expanded funding for the Violence Against Women Act, and shattered another glass ceiling by naming Janet Yellen chair of the Federal Reserve beginning Feb. 1, 2014. But, no.

Against all of the mythical opposition, through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act , cut taxes for 95% of America’s working families! Did anyone campaign on the fact that Tax rates for average working families are the lowest since 1950? Hell, no!

This short list of accomplishments just illustrates the shameful way in which Democrats campaigned away from the President and anything he had to do with.

And just as Al Gore moved away from President Clinton and lost the election in 2000, all of these cowardly contestants who are even afraid to say the name Obama

or admit that they voted for him (Alison Lundergan Grimes) will, and probably should, meet the same fate!

My allegiance has waned, and like my friend and brothers Geoffrey L. Garfield, and Jonathan Guidry, I may be looking to join a more progressive party with a backbone!

You people make me question not just your integrity, but your ethics. Is the fact that you won't endorse the record of one of the greatest Presidents in our history, due to not wanting to offend the racist sensibility that prevails in this country? (I hear it now, "of course not!") Or are you kowtowing to a constituency you believe to be too ignorant to really get a grasp on what's real?

It may be both, but I really believe it's the former, and I don't want to be associated with that kind of spinelessness.

As long as I am an American citizen, I will not relinquish my responsibility to always vote, always engage. But from now on, I will be far more discerning as to who gets that vote.

Seems Kipper can't handle defeat or the fact that this election was a referendum on President Obama and his policies. After all, as the president said, “I’m not on the ballot this fall. But make no mistake: These policies are on the ballot, every single one of them.”

 

I'm thinking Kipper was either drunk, high or forgot to take his meds.

What points are fiction and which are fact, and which are a portion of fact?

 

Personally, I'm happy with what President Obama has accomplished overall? I agree that more emphasis should have been placed on being a part of those accomplishments, and if I had been ALG (for instance), I'd have run with it.

THIS! I can tell you that the whitehouse got furious calls form all over the country asking why in the world would he say this when candidates were trying to distance themselves from him? Was it arrogance? THIS is when the polls started to change, and not only in KY. In another thread Bluto had this quote as the reason for the lose(s).

 

BUT, no one, at least recently, has held control for more than 8 years. And mid terms are referendums.

 

Last night there were a few people talking about how they were disappointed that she did not embrace Obama. But as most people on this site, many R's, would say that would have played into McConnell's hand, and that the R's would have had a field day with it.

 

The people complaining about not embracing Obama are also black, I could tell that the ones I heard just wanted to see the black president. BUT, he is just a a president that's unpopular, and very unpopular in KY. His race had nothing to do with it. If we had an unpopular white male president or an unpopular female president, they wouldn't have been embraced by the candidates either.

 

I think that the president gets a bad wrap on a lot of things, but I do agree with some of the criticism. But when not asked to help, any president should just keep quiet and keep his mind on other things.

 

I'll add more later when I have a chance to relax, as I have a few things to say. But as RTS said, this election was a referendum on the presidents policies. As they are every mid term, and he should have kept quiet.

Good points. I do want to apologize for a bourbon laced post calling you a hack a week ago. I don't apologize much. But I read that post afterwards and shook my head.

You make a blanket statement about blacks wanting to see Obama and then say it isn't about race in the same paragraph. :no:

The arm chair quarter backing after the fact suggesting a dud of a setting president should have been drug into the rout he created is downright comical .

No I did not. The paragraph before that one said "a few", the ones I overheard last night. That is not a blanket statement.

 

He is an unpopular president and very unpopular in this state. I support him on some issues but not all. If there was a female president and she was very unpopular here, then she shouldn't be in the state campaigning. It's the "unpopular" part that is important. I would have loved to see someone like Palin in KY to help Mitch as it wouldn't end well. But I am am sure if any of the far right wing people wanted to that Mitch told them to stay away, which would be the best idea.

 

So to be clear, I was talking about the people I overheard last night.

Based on a 15 point loss (the biggest of any Senate race I believe) seems like they played right into McConnell's hands anyway.

Better than running from him. That didn't work either.

That's all I am saying.

For all the Democrats who were afraid to campaign on the record of the Obama administration over the last 6 years, who somehow felt that a 25% drop in the rolls of the medically uninsured wasn't enough to tout. For those who ignored the fact that there hasn't been one catastrophic instance of foreign terrorism on our shores, and the alleged mastermind of the previously all imposing 9/11 'attacks' was captured and killed the way his predecessor had no plans of doing.

Still not enough.

Problem is, I suppose, that the previous bar was set so low.

5 hours and 135 views later no one is disputing the accomplishments of Obama that Kipper Jones listed.

What's the point...I'm sure some one somewhere has already refuted this line by line...its not going to change your or any of the President's supporters minds...and 5 pages later we'll be right back where we started.

 

Most of America views this administration as a failure. Did they get some things right...absolutely they did. Every administration does.

Seems Kipper can't handle defeat or the fact that this election was a referendum on President Obama and his policies. After all, as the president said, “I’m not on the ballot this fall. But make no mistake: These policies are on the ballot, every single one of them.”

It also sounds like change not many were believing in or looking for. I find it interesting that so many people say politicians are crooks or frauds when a large portion of the voting population is just looking for their next tax break(republican) or hand out(democrat) Then you have those in between and those focused on social or demographic issues such as citizenship, gay marriage or abortion. While you also have some that are ok paying their taxes doing their part but believe reform is necessary. Sadly no president can ever accomplish enough to please everyone. Our country is filled with hopeful people that don't have a clue and know very little about how government works. I can tell you if I were a child of the 2000's it would be hard to imagine myself wanting to be POTUS some day.... and that's sad.
