Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service awarded to Obama by Obama presented by Ash Carter.
If this guy could act anymore like a third world, banana republic dictator I'm not sure how.
He awards himself the highest civilian metal from the Defense Department to add to his done nothing to deserve it but be the first black elected POTUS Nobel Peace Prize.
Keep it up big O, by the time you leave office you will have awarded yourself enough ribbons and medals to look like one of those banana republic pricks.

Posts: 2700Real Unemployment Rate
I agree. I have been saying through all administrations since I have been voting in the 60s.
Why can't they count the people that gave up looking for a job?
In California the unemployment lower than most States.
I walk the streets and see Help Wanted signs in restaurants, shops and stores, etc.
But, you are wrong on Obama. Jobs are way up since when he started, as is the Stock Market.

How about including the real unemployment rate - U6 which is at 9.20.
I noticed you did not mention the labor participation rate - you really going to tell me all those folks "retired".
If employment is so great why are all the "social" programs such as welfare/medicaid/food stamp skyrocketing?
You guys just never give up, Obama was an abject failure who pulled his party down with him. 8 years ago the Dem's had it all - House/Senate/Potus and now they have nothing. Back then the "talking heads" were all trumpeting the death of conservatism, today they are concerned about the death of the Democratic Party.

One of the most entertaining & exciting presidential elections in history, is there an unwritten code that we do not discuss it?

Columnist George Will has left the Republican Party over its presumptive nomination of Donald Trump.
He said Republican voters should just "make sure he (Trump) loses," then "Grit their teeth for four years.".
Even George Will, Mr. Conservative, cant stomach Trump.

Posts: 125I love this site but it's getting boring
For the last ten to twelve years I have come to BA at least twenty five times. The last twenty times I have rented apartments all in different areas of the city. I like San Telmo the best. On this trip like all others I leave my apartment and try to go a different direction and get lost. After walking for two to three hours I have no idea were I am. So here I am walking along and I stop at a cafe/pub for a refreshment and in the door comes a tranny. He talkers to the bartender for a few moments then leans over the counter and looking at his back side he has a zipper up the crack of his ass. It starts at his nut sack and goes all the way up his back side to his belt. OK so that was surprise enough but it had many stains on it. Yuck oh. I'm no prude but one must wonder how it feels to go home every night with a sore butt.

I do not think there is much support for a fence in California. One guy actually stood up at the Inland Empire conference and said more people are migrating to Mexico now than are immigrating. "What are we going to do?" he asked. "Build a fence to keep them in.".
Obviously views in California are seldom reflective of the US as a whole.
