Obama is now more of a lame duck after the mid terms than he has been this year.
A totally inept leader thats done nothing at all for the USA
The American people have spoken and Obama is the loser
Lets see how many of his inept policies get through both houses now......

He was only ever an apparent choice of difference over the republican candidate, but never ever was he actually going to be any different.
It's the same here. We think we can choose Liberal over Labor, or Labor over Liberal and there will actually be a difference.
There has probably been no actual differences offered by our political parties and their politicians since Gough Whitlam, who actually did make a difference.
And look what happened to him.

Remember, in America voting is not compulsory, so only the interested vote, the rest just do the complaining no matter who is in charge.
At least here we have to take an interest in our political parties before we have to vote.

Uhh, no we don't. We just have to vote. That's the law, and as is often the case, those who take no interest but who have to vote anyway, just vote informal or do the donkey vote.
And, it doesn't matter anyway. it's all the same outcome. Apparent choices, remember?

Surfboard diplomacy: Tony Abbott wants to ensure Barack Obama is Australia’s best mate
TONY Abbott has revealed a secret and unlikely admiration for the world’s most powerful leader, describing Barack Obama as an “extraordinarily gifted man” and a potential friend to rival past presidents.
The PM has also revealed a surprising affection for his political polar opposite, claiming his hope was that they would depart good friends after their meeting.

Let's face it US boardies. We hear all about your politics and politicians and you hear nothing about ours. Is that correct?

I think that their politics are the same as ours in this respect, at least . . . that those who can afford to buy representation are the only ones who actually gain representation.

Obama is certainly not a lame duck, inept, or a token president. He is exactly what he was put in the white house to be, a puppet for the globalists and he does his job very well. No diffrent than most, maybe most all others before him.
Please don't excuse corruption away by saying "oh they just made mistakes or don't know what their doing" Trust me on this, they know exactly what they are doing. At the very least, we should give them credit for how very smart they are to pull the wool over the eyes of so many people. Obama is one of the greatest con artists there are and incredibally smart and charming.
