We are fortunate to have Barack Obama as our president. He’s the best thing that ever happened to America. Because of him, we are living in a perfect world, and life is so much better.

Of course, all of this is in the eyes of ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN and the other biased news media outlets. The campaigner-in-chief expects the media to kiss his ring every time there’s a crisis. They don’t even care that the ring is in his back pocket.

He has lied more than Pinocchio, makes former president Jimmy Carter look like Attila the Hun, has changed the Constitution more than our forefathers, and he’s as weak as Popeye before he ate his spinach.

He is oblivious to all the scandals, such as Fast and Furious, the National Security Agency, Internal Revenue Service, Veterans Administration, Benghazi, yet his only excuse is, “I found out when you did.”

What? Is this the guy running our country?

I could go on but I only have 200 words to list all the others. Watch the movie “2016” if you want the truth about Obama’s administration, or watch the only fair and balanced news media outlet: Fox News.
