President Obama just dropped his summer mixtape

The POTUS is officially on vacay. But before stepping out, the commander-in-chief shared not one, but two summer playlists with the free world through the White House’s new Spotify account. There’s one for the day and one for the night. Both are absolutely fire.

After 7 years of struggle to get there, we're finally in somewhat decent shape as an economy. Yes, some governors of both parties were factors. Yes, the end of the wars helped. Yes, the slow rebound of the housing market has improved things. Yes, the stimulus gave us a useful shot in the arm and the end of the Bush tax cuts on the very rich, plus the increasing rollback of the war on drugs has improved things....and I also think that having the fate of the ACA settled (it's here to stay, though it might be improved and revised) has given us some predictability.....but, surely it has helped to have a President in the White House who hasn't been captive to the same oil interests that opposed the green jobs (and used mistakes like Solyndra as the basis for an attack on it), in terms of encouraging a greener America and a growth in infrastructure as well as mass transit....and yes, a President willing to keep us out of new wars (except Libya to a degree) and to improve ties with Cuba.

He and I are not in perfect accord, and some of his friendships are troubling, but frankly some of mine are not ideal. Still, I can't help but think that if McCain had won, we'd be stuck in Iran and teetering on the brink of ruin, paying for yet another war that we cannot afford. People forget how much war is a burden on the marketplace and how much it disrupts society, so should be limited to those wars born of necessity. Plus McCain might have died in office and for the first term, we'd have been stuck with Palin. That might have finished us off as a country.

In short, while I still have my differences with the President, I do not share my family's contempt and hatred for him, and I think that he deserves at least some credit for the fact that we didn't collapse before we could recover. You might say that he's grown on me a bit.
 
Obama’s failure of leadership on Gitmo

On Aug. 14, the Department of Justice (DOJ) blocked the release from the Guantánamo Bay prison of Tariq Ba Odah, a gravely ill detainee who was cleared for transfer by the Guantánamo Review Task Force, which was created by an executive order in 2009. On a hunger strike for the past eight years and kept alive by brutal force-feedings, he now weighs less than 75 pounds and is reportedly near death. Ba Odah, a Yemeni national, has spent nearly a third of his life at the facility but has never been charged with a crime.

Obama has consistently blamed his inability to close Guantánamo on a recalcitrant Congress. But his defense secretaries, who are required to sign off on transfers but are reluctant to do so, and the vexing inconsistency among agencies tasked with the prison’s closure have also hamstrung him. Former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel was pressured to resign in part because of his slow pace in approving transfers. His successor has proved no better. Since taking over in February, Ashton Carter has not presided over any releases that weren’t negotiated by his predecessor. According to The Daily Beast, Carter is reportedly dragging his feet for fear that he would be held personally accountable if transferred detainees engaged in terrorism or other criminal activities. Yet Obama has evinced little ability to push his defense heads to fall in line with his closure goals.

Obama should prove that he is the CinC and not let fourth tier bureaucrats derail his campaign promises. He's either the HMFIC or he is a puppet. Can't be just a suggester, leadership requires followers.

You can thank the Republican's endless swipes at the ACA for this. The ACA is here to stay. The Republicans need to work with Democrats to make it better.

The ACA calls for panels to be in place to review premium hikes. Increases need to be shown

Nevermind. Why get all wonky when I'm sure it won't sink in at all. I will just say this, the "panel" in my state, chosen by our Repiblican governor, not found a single rate hike excessive.

In the event you'd like to look like you know what you're talking about.

I appreciate that he's going after Edward Snowden. I don't think Snowden is evil or strictly an intentional traitor, but the idea that he had nothing to do with Russian intelligence is baffling for anyone who has the slightest awareness of the history of the Russian secret service. He's disproving what both the nuts on the left and right thought about him on that score-with opposite attitudes, of course.

Cuba's going to age well, of course. His Indian policy is turning out a lot better than I thought it might when Modi came to office-he learned his lesson on dealing with Putin, and he's managed to manufacture some good chemistry with them. TPP is great for Tokyo-US relations, as well as Vietnam. While I disagree with the tactics of the Pivot to Asia-and most definitely disagree with the timing to openly announce it-he is getting over the Eurocentric thinking of many in our FP establishment.

He's managed to prevent the worst with Saudi Arabia on the Iran deal, which I was worried about for a while. I think he could have done better on the Iran deal-the mullahs thoroughly outplayed him, as some in his own party are admitting-but it's better than the alternative, and he has the right idea that Iran needs to be part of any functional Middle East policy in the long term.

Overall, I'm far more sympathetic to Obama's strategy than I am to his two predecessors in many regards, even if I think his tactical implementation and awareness of the world has to rank among the worst among modern Presidents.

Still a bit skeptical of the Iran deal and the nutritional changes, and I'm leaning toward favoring the Keystone XL, but I think that, Solyndra aside, the solar funding idea wasn't a bad one, which needs to continue among other steps to replace fossil fuels. And at least he hasn't done anything like....you know, increase legal levels of arsenic in the water supply (Bush), dramatically cut taxes for the rich in a budget-busting fashion (Bush), repeal Glass-Steagall (Clinton/GOP Congress), start a needless war (if you don't count Libya, that is), or actually grab the guns (even if I don't agree with all of his proposed regulations, tighter background checks are not unreasonable).

I don't approve of all of the mechanics and details of ACA, but it needs to be fixed or adjusted, not repealed. Repeal is impossible and will continue to waste everyone's time, plus there are plenty of good things in the law and so it makes no sense to throw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. Should he have pulled us out of Iraq and Afghanistan sooner? Well, you trying tell the JCS that and see what the Pentagon will tell you in response.

As to the sequester, both parties had a hand in that, but it was the Tea Party that guaranteed it by killing any hope of compromise.

And I'm totally with the President on gay rights (better late than never), abortion rights, and transgender rights (though perhaps he could go further to protect trans immigrants). This is the guy who ended Don't Ask, Don't Tell, too....that ended on his watch. That's saying a lot, given that it was Clinton who gave us Don't Ask, Don't Tell (though even that was an improvement over the previous policy).

I have reservations about President Obama, but he is a lot better than people have given him credit for being, especially in the Tea Party. He's not a Muslim. He's not a Kenyan. He's not a traitor. He's not a Communist. He has questionable friends (Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones), but so do I at times. So do many of us. One or two of my friends are anarchists. My professor of government was into Christian theocracy (no, I don't share his views, obviously). I was photographed with Senator McCain once. That doesn't mean that I voted for McCain, or that I favor Christian theocracy, or that I'm an anarchist (though I used to be).

No, what Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. is....is simple. He's the President of the United States, and he will be until January 20, 2017. Get over it.

From the British point of view, since Obama took over we no longer look at your President and laugh at him.

(We look at our own Prime Minister and cry, instead...)
 
Is Cameron really that bad? I would think that someone like Corbyn, who is pro-Moscow and wants to nationalize all industry, is more of an extremist, but that's me. I can see not liking our right-wingers, but the Tories don't seem unreasonable.
