34. And A GREAT Book It Is...
Wed Mar 16, 2016, 12:35 AM
Mar 2016

He was roundly criticized, but you know what? It's moved up to NUMBER SEVEN, most popular book. Can't recall which list, but the BIG ONE!

And there's another person who wrote a similar book and he was on the Bill's show last week. After Obama, knowing about the the meeting on the night he was inaugurated DECIDED to try and Compromise with the other side! My first indication of howe he was going to govern. Did he get some legislation passed, yes... but overall IMO he was never aggressive enough.

Today, I think it was on Watching The Hawks on RT, or Boom Bust one of those programs they talked about how Libya had failed as a foreign affairs effort. Some praise for Kerry, but overall apparently they were saying that France and another country were left out to dry. Obama was trying to save face and these countries weren't particularly happy.

It was commented that his foreign affairs policies haven't been very successful and that he should have consulted more with the Pentagon.

There's much more that I've learned from RT and FSTV because they actually REPORT real news that we need to hear. Joe Papantonio is a fountain of information and could probably fill a book about Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration and deals that have been made, especially with Big Pharma. I've begun to see more reporters there that used to be on MSM and they DO REPORT. I don't know HOW Clinton won, she's very unpopular and so many who know the real stories about many deals say THIS COUNTRY is really headed in the wrong direction.

I now fear it's worse than I thought. I'm not giving up on Bernie, especially because I now listen to these other channels, but it's scary what we may be in store for.

I've been unable to wrap my head around Clinton's wins because of Bernie's popularity. His ability to raise so much money when needed. He actually has money on hand where Clinton does not. So many rallies with thousands of people ALL THE TIME and yet here we are. Did all these people not vote? People who contribute money and those thousands of people don't vote? How can this be? I know what these comments sound like, but it just doesn't add up for me. I know so, so many people here in my RED county who Bernie has attracted.

I knew FL wasn't going to take FL, 65% of the people voted absentee some time ago. Bernie held a rally in Tampa last week, he had 10,000 people there at the same time Hillary had 600 people attend in the same city! THIS has happened over and over and over and still she wins.

She tells outright lies that are proven within hours, and still she wins. It's mind boggling that she has such a low energy campaign going and her negatives are so high, and still she wins. I wonder if we'll ever find out how this can happen.

Yes, our Democratic Party has failed us over and over and there WILL be a backlash, I'm sure of it. Bernie has started a movement that's not going to go away. I've been happy to finally see this enthusiasm which has been gone for so many years.

I wonder how Hillary can win anything near the respect and trust people have felt with Bernie. I doubt it. She has the POWER BROKERS for sure and no matter what she's telling everyone in her speeches right now I'm sure they DO WANT a return on their dollars.

Heard something interesting about something the dictator Juan Peron of Argentina said once when talking about how to win. Said "you pick up a guitar with your left hand, but you play it with the right!" THAT'S HILLARY and that's what this man said about BOTH the Clintons. He said they're no difference between the two, they really are two for one and he was no fan of theirs.

Yep, strange how this is going. Shenanigans over and over... nothing sticks o them. Will they eventually implode? I think it may happen. Oh, and he also said they were VERY NIXONIAN! Scary indeed.

I think it's an election stunt Armstead Mar 2016 #1
