Clinton's 2nd, 2.0.

Endless and fruitless "investigations" of Obama by House committees, and an impeachment.
Gotta have the impeachment, of course.
What for? Who cares! They'll make something up!

today, driving home from work. I was so fucking angry, and I gave the young white males a big thumbs down. In truth, I should have lightened up and laughed to myself, but it wasn't all that funny.

repugs offer nothing for the betterment of the country for the majority of citizens. And the repugs are starting up the SOS again. It's a party they needs to go away. It's obsolete and very backward. The party of fools and the extremely wealthy who F over the fools.

Can take years, so no.

With Clinton they threw investigation after investigation after investigation until one finally "stuck." And the best part is that Clinton's popularity went through the roof. They never got it, and will go there again. I mean how dare a Democrat? And in this case a %^#*} dare to live in the WH? Sadly that is the mindset you are dealing with.

involved in his acts under oath to testify as to Issa's doings particularly in the recall of Gov. Davis in which a lot of suspicious activity occurred. Right now I only have anecdotal evidence, but those who could get the petition gatherers, paid by Issa, under oath to testify as to alleged cheating won't do it. It seems those in Washington who can do this are reluctant to. They are afraid of Issa.

I'm even so cynical, I believe, that if given the opportunity, they would try to assassinate him. However, he has outsmarted them at their every move, so I hope our misgivings disappear into the ashes of a Republican self-immolation after they explode from their evil plots.

and proclaim that the next four years will continue to improve with steady and consistent growth across the board.

1) Unemployment continues to steadily decline.
2) Housing market continues to improve, foreclosures drop, rates remain low
3) Gas prices drop as we become less and less dependent on foreign oil.
4) Stock market will rise to all time highs
5) ObamaCare will prove it's necessity
6) Tax reform, both parties claim they want this
7) Immigration reform, both parties will make this a top priority with the 2016 Latino vote the end goal.
8) Supreme Court will lean left with new nominations
9) Social issues will continue to fast-track
10) Partisan bickering will take a back seat for fear of voter backlash in 2016

*** Republicans cooperate fully and then in 2016 attempt to take all the credit! ***

The 2016 Presidential race will be fought over which party "fixed" the economy and who attracted the most Latinos to their tent.
