Barack Obama cannot find time to speak with Benjamin Netanyahu face to face, but he found time to speak with this ridiculous pirate today to honor "International Talk Like A Pirate Day". Charming. 

The way our president spends his time and our tax dollars is offensive to the intelligence of the average American. If a president has a good four years then campaigning for reelection should not be a big deal. If a president has a mediocre first term then he needs to work hard to earn a second one. But, when a president has a terrible, awful, self-destructive, insulting, disapproving first four years, such as in the case of Barack Obama, he must avoid discussing his record of the past four years and hold as many fundraisers as possible with clueless celebrities and perform as many pointless public appearances as possible, such as inviting pirates to the White House, while a large portion of the inhabitable planet is set ablaze with American flags.

It's very simple to me. There is so much we know and don't know about Barack Hussein Obama. The conversation goes round and round, but the 2010 midterm elections speak for themselves. After only two years of his presidency, Barack Obama had America upset enough to fire as many Democrats as we could to replace them with staunch Republicans who would slow down the destructive path he was clearing. So, the question is, "What has gotten better?"

How is this election even a question? What has changed since 2010? Our president blames the 112th Congress for being the most do-nothing Congress in American history. Well, that was what they were put in office to do. Obama obviously could not find compromise within himself either, yet he blames Congress. Those Republicans were put there to stop his momentum, though, which so many Americans clearly disagreed with. I would say the 112th Congress has been highly successful in the task of damage control regarding the policies of Obama and his administration.

That was only two years ago, and we tend to have short-term memories, but what has changed?
