Quote from PHOENIX TRADING:

Which is EXACTLY why the republican powers that be HATE him.

The two party "system" has become such a joke, I'd say an independent has one hell of a chance in 2016. Even better, a Libertarian; a Patriot.

I stopped listening to Obama a long time ago, too much talk, too many speeches. If talk, threats and BS and blaming and fear mongering in Washington fixed problems... we wouldn't have any problems.
I disagree about having to listen to Obama, he'll be gone soon enough. Rand is an incumbent in congress and will be around forever.

Thats the problem with ex democrat presidents, they never go away.
Carter, Clinton and soon Obama still playing the game.
Reagan, Bush , Bush, Ford all retired from public life like good soldiers.

That's true. It irritates me every time I see Clinton or especially Carter make some opinion statement. Just shut the f... up Billy and Jimmy. You had your turn.

And, I don't want to see the White House occupied by another Bush or another Clinton. This family presidental crap has got to stop.

Too small a sample size to make that statement. Ex-president Obama will be a non issue for everyone but those on the far far left and far far right.

LOL It's not a study predicting the actions of all future ex-presidents. It's a statement about the current stable of ex-presidents and one soon to be ex-president (or dictator). Sample size does not apply.

He's much more credible than his dad. So far.

You are an idiot.
Lock in a vote for Jeb Bush from PSPR in 2016.

If he was a dictator then he could not be an ex president, so which is it. That's as illogical as those who were calling Bush a dictator. They all ride off into the sunset, you and a few others will be the only one's noticing what Obama says or does after he leaves office.

The sad fact is this demonstrates once again our federal govt recognizes no restraints whatsoever to it's use of power on us, it's subjects to be ruled.

He's not done yet. Ask me in four years if he managed to pull off the dictator title.

What, you never see Billy or Jimmy blabbering away on TV or in the news? If not, then how do you know anything to be able to discuss intelligently in the P&R?

But, this wasn't even the point of my post. The word dictator was incidental and in brackets as we don't know Obama's final title yet.

The point was that the comment about Ex-Democrap presidents are the ones still sticking their noses in politics and blabbering away in the news. And, that is very, very true despite your objection.

Quote from pspr:

Sen. Rand Paul has taken to the floor of the U.S. Senate and is vowing to stay there “at length” in order to filibuster John O. Brennan, President Obama’s nominee to be the next CIA director.

The freshman Kentucky Republican has said he will hold up the nomination until he gets more information about the U.S. drone execution program, which has become a major sore point for many lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

“I will speak today until the president responds and says, ‘No, we won’t kill Americans in cafes. No, we won’t kill you at home at night,’” Mr. Paul said.

Just hours earlier, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. testified to a Senate committee that he believed it would be illegal for the government to kill an American who did not pose an imminent threat to security.

But he could not rule out the use of drones on American soil altogether, saying only that he doubted it would happen because it’s easier to capture people here.

The U.S. extrajudicial execution program has come under increasing scrutiny this year after some of the administration’s legal justification for the executions — most often carried out by drone strikes on targets overseas — leaked to the press.

Members of both parties on Capitol Hill have raised concerns about the program, which started under President George W. Bush and which Mr. Obama has greatly expanded.

Mr. Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Mr. Obama will deliver a speech in the near future laying out the issues at stake and asking for a public debate on the underlying principles.

Mr. Holder also said, though, that he is not sure Congress could ban the president from using drones to kill Americans on U.S. soil, saying that would likely run afoul of the Constitution’s grant of powers to the president in Article II.
