The dollar has continuously lost it's value since Obama, and Bush before him, took office.
Actually, uh, it has lost value since the day it was created, like every currency that ever existed in the world.
If you notice though, the rates have stabilized in the recent years- last year, inflation rate was 1.1%, compare that to 1850's 25%.
Oh, and "loss of value of a currency" means nothing whatsoever if a) all other reserve currencies around lose their value at the same rate (check) and b) salaries grow at the same or at a faster rate (check).
There is 0 difference whatsoever between paying $1 for a burger from my $100 salary or paying $10 from my $1000 income. It's just an extra 0 on the bill.
The Obama administration has also insinuated that their opposers are racist for their entire run. Whether or not they actually ever have outright said it, I'll admit my ingorence to. Though they may as well have.
"I don't know if I making this point up but since they are evil I'm going to assume they have probably done it"
You gave me a great example, actually, about what happens to people who don't like him. Fox News. The public mostly agrees that Fox News is this ridiculous network that always skews their stories. And they're right. But it doesn't do that anymore than CNN does. The difference? Which one is the Democratic one?
"The public". That's why Fox is the most watched cable news channel for years. That's why there are dozens of online conservative blogs/newspapers. Because people laugh at them.
Obviously people who disagree with their ideas will laugh at them, but the opposite side of the aisle believes it very seriously.
The democratic one? MSNBC. Although they are a bit more serious, I'll give you that.
There's no diffence for the average Joe, either. I've been called racist for not hailing the great black president, I know people who've been called racist, hell, I know a guy who is himself black and he's been called racist.
The plural of anecdote is not data.
As for the comment about the middle class disappearing, haven't you noticed it? I travel a lot, and from first hand experience, I can say that most of the middle class is becoming poor, or rich. All while both of those classification become more extreme.
Right. That's happening everywhere in the world. I have traveled- not around the US, but around Europe and South America, and that thing you say is very noticeable. Are you sure it's the fault of the President of the US alone that there are more poor and rich people in the UK, Spain, Germany and Argentina?
I can agree with you that the Native Americans are the rightful owners of this land, however, do you not remember the American Indian wars? The Natives lost this land, in a very bloody way. Is it right? No. But it a way it was conquest, not illegal immigration. The Mexican people on the other hand are just coming here to feed off of a country that already exists, not to create or expand.

Professor of Law Francine Lipman [57] writes that the belief that illegal migrants are exploiting the US economy and that they cost more in services than they contribute to the economy is "undeniably false". Lipman asserts that "illegal immigrants actually contribute more to public coffers in taxes than they cost in social services" and "contribute to the U.S. economy through their investments and consumption of goods and services; filling of millions of essential worker positions resulting in subsidiary job creation, increased productivity and lower costs of goods and services; and unrequited contributions to Social Security, Medicare and unemployment insurance programs."[58]
Aviva Chomsky, a professor at Salem State College, states that "Early studies in California and in the Southwest and in the Southeast...have come to the same conclusions. Immigrants, legal and illegal, are more likely to pay taxes than they are to use public services. illegal immigrants aren't eligible for most public services and live in fear of revealing themselves to government authorities. Households headed by illegal immigrants use less than half the amount of federal services that households headed by documented immigrants or citizens make use of."[59]
And I guess you don't know, but Obama wrote an executive order that will grant amnesty to all illegal aliens who sign up for Obamacare. Google it, you'll see.
Okay. I'm a journalist. If I ever wrote an article citing "google" as a source, I'd be fired a second later.
But yeah, let's check google.
Notice anything? All results are either
a)
Boehner wants amnesty
b) Conservative Media: National Review, National Report, Heritage, Washington Times... I'm unable to find any non-Republican source for your claims. Mind offering me one? A link to the Executive Order itself (they are available online) would be sweet.
China and Russia have recently made a 400$ Billon dollar gas deal. There's talk that they will replace the Petrodollar with a different currency. This means a lost space on the reserve, for the U.S. Dollar.
Tell me when they create that different currency.
Obama has for some time now been antagonising Russia. If you've been keeping up on the news then you should know that.
The US have been antagonizing Russia for some time. As in, both sides. Because it sells.

He recently also wrote up another executive order, allowing him to make changes to the constitution. Google it, you'll see.
No. I haven't seen. Links please.
Not to mention that if he had truly done that, it would have made the news anywhere, not just obscure websites you need to google to find.
You shouldn't be very surprised about this, though. During a radio interview back in '01, he described the Constitution as "Deeply Flawed".
And that means he's going to change it unilaterally. Okay.
I was speaking more domestically when I said that he's painted as a great man, and referring to the fact that most mainstream media is wildly Democratic.
Washington Times, NYPost, WSJ, Fox, all the websites I quoted before.
Oh, and I don't consider myself to be of any political affiliation. I just call 'em as I see 'em.
"I quote all the Republican talking points but I'm not affiliated".
