That's quite an exaggeration to say "the republican(s)" preached that Obama would turn the country into a riot. But he has done a pretty good job of it, hasn't he?

1. Gas was supposed to cost $5.45 per gallon.
2. Unemployment was supposed to be stuck at over 8%
3. The stock market was supposed to crash
4. The entire U.S. economy was supposed to collapse

So what exactly has Obama done that currently has the country in a Riot? Things look pretty much the same as they have for a while. Things go wrong and things go right.

"Riot" does not refer to gasoline prices or the stock market average. Not for most people.

Think Ferguson, "Pigs in a blanket, fry them...," almost daily reports of police being murdered...and tremendous spikes in murders in urban centers. Then then think of Obama going to Alaska to play with Bear Grylls without expressing a single word of regret, let alone attend one of these funerals like any caring person would. That'll get you started.

OK. Which of the presidents policies or actions resulted in these?

Be fair. If he attended such a funeral, you'd call it posturing and politicizing tragedy.

Don't imagine you can speak for me.

At least he'd DO it. Like any other president.

All you're demonstrating with this comment ^ is the degree to which he either doesn't care or else finds satisfaction in the turn of events.

I wouldn't want him to do it. Unless there were some big event that was a mass commemoration of such people, I would see it as posturing at best. The same goes for any other president, Democrat or Republican.

Not my job to research it again. It is you who wanted the data, if you got it you would still not believe it.
It is my belief that BHO is the greatest fraud every perpatrated on the American people.
I am also confused how anyone who is a follower of Christ Jesus can support a man, and a party that has made it very clear we are not a Christian nation. Do you recall what happened to the Jewish people when they turned away from God? History is repeating itself, America was a covenant nation, once blessed by God because we praised him. Now the democrat party, liberals and "progressives" have done all they can to remove God from our society. America will pay the same price. It is my prayer that any Christians who are supporting this evil by blindly voting for ungodly men and women, wake up!

Is that why you didn't bother to get it?

Your opinion is noted.

I am also confused how anyone who is a follower of Christ Jesus can support a man, and a party that has made it very clear we are not a Christian nation.

We're a secular nation with a predominantly Christian culture.

Do you recall what happened to the Jewish people when they turned away from God?

Do you recall what they did to try to turn back?

History is repeating itself, America was a covenant nation, once blessed by God because we praised him.

I don't recall seeing God's signature on the Constitution...

Now the democrat party, liberals and "progressives" have done all they can to remove God from our society.

One would think God would be strong enough to resist... Any god who needs the help of the Republican party to stay relevant is not very impressive.

America will pay the same price. It is my prayer that any Christians who are supporting this evil by blindly voting for ungodly men and women, wake up!

Nice prayer -- why are you telling us?

Have you ever read the constitution, which establishes our laws?

Of course I have. I also took an oath to defend it. I have also not read in it the words, freedom from religion, it says "freedom OF religion." What I am suggesting is you educate yourself, research what the founders discussed and wrote that led to The Constitution being drafted.

Can you point out to me, where in the constitution (the law of our land) it states anything about Christianity or the laws being based on Christianity?

It doesn't matter a whit what they wrote and corresponded about before the drafting of the law of the land. The ONLY thing that matters is what the actual document SAYS.

1. Gas was supposed to cost $5.45 per gallon.
2. Unemployment was supposed to be stuck at over 8%
3. The stock market was supposed to crash
4. The entire U.S. economy was supposed to collapse

So what exactly has Obama done that currently has the country in a Riot? Things look pretty much the same as they have for a while. Things go wrong and things go right.

1. If you count how much less a dollar is worth today, $5-7 a gallon sounds about right in pre-Obama dollars.
2. If you count unemployment as they did before Clinton, it would be about 23% today. Also, the quality of jobs has dropped as our more technical jobs are shipped overseas and we have more part-time openings at McDonalds and Walmart.
3. How many times does the stock market have to crash to count? Maybe the next time.
4. He isn't out of office yet, and if the economy outlasts him, his policies will still drain it for years after he is gone.
