    Have a nice weekend everyone. Can't wait to come back Monday and see what the spin machine has in store.

    JEN PSAKI: I would argue the president doesn't give himself enough credit for what he's done around the world. And that's how the secretary feels too. We would not be engaged in comprehensive negotiations with Iran, which is where the program is stalled, and is rolling back, if it were not for the role of the United States, along with the P-5 +1 partners certainly. In Ukraine, we've been engaged more or as much as any other country in the world in supporting the elections process, supporting the government, and supporting efforts moving forward. Yes, there's more work that needs to be done, the point is we need to continue to stay at it.

    REPORTER: Is this a potential mission accomplished statement?

    PSAKI: Absolutely not.

    MATT LEE: You would argue the president doesn't give himself enough credit, how much credit would you give him?

    PSAKI: I would give him more than he has given himself. So would the secretary.

    LEE: Like 200 percent credit? For what? Iran negotiations?

    PSAKI: I mean...

    REPORTER: What specifically are you saying he doesn't get enough credit for?

    PSAKI: For engagement in issues like Iran, what we've done on Ukraine. Efforts to dive in and engage in the world.

    REPORTER: Russia has still annexed Crimea. Iran, there are ongoing negotiations, but is that the success here that your talking?

    PSAKI: We're talking about engagement in the world and taking on tough issues that present themselves, and the United States continues to play a prominent role doing that.

    I respect that you at least show up in a thread that represents what a mockery this admin has become. None of the others have done so yet.

    On a scale of 1-10...what would you rate the guy you voted for twice in terms of his Presidency?

    Maybe a 6.5? Underwhelming but not horrible.

    The Obama administration should be supporting the Russian rebels from the extremists government in Ukraine, but the best thing that could happen is that both Ukraine and Russia quit supporting candidates who support fascists, seperatists policies, but this is not a war the US should consider a national security threat...NATO is more of a threat in Ukraine than Russian separatists...

    So if parts of Colorado voted to be independent we go with that?

    If West Texas votes the same it's ok? Even if people within that region are too scared to dare step into a polling station and vote no. Did either you or Boutons read what happened in Eastern Ukraine with the latest VOTE?

    bull "surge", which didn't work in Iraq, either, but Betraeus'/Repug PR won the media propaganda.

    Obama implemented Repug plan to quit Iraq, over Repugs' obstruction.

    Obama pulling out of Afganistan, but leaving too many, ANY!, troops there.

    anywhere else that Obama DIDN'T INHERIT from the the Repugs? anything really disastrous? even mildly disastrous? anything worthy of Repug impeachment?

    Obama made me over $10,000 flipping guns this year, I've got no complaints on his gun control agenda.

    Just got back from my FFL and picked this up today. Converting to a single shot exemption and then putting a 7.5' barrel on it.



    Pusher next time your in San Diego hit me up and we'll go to the private shooting range I belong to. Or we could even head up to Palomar Mountain and shoot turkey or deer on some property I have access to.

    It was a dumb thing for that official to say, but I don't see much difference between the Bush and Obama administrations RE: Russia and Iran. If anyone can tell me what the big difference is, I'll read it.

    Republicans can admit Bush was a failure. Democrats can not admit Obama is a failure.

    Leadership.

    Hiring such fine upstanding administration including Ron Mr. Chicago and Eric Holder. To name just two...
    Seriously, name me an appointment other than these two that was a mistake. I know you can.

    Quota systems don't require leadership. It was a black man's turn to be president, next election, it will be a woman's turn.

    Just ask any progressive!

    Repugs know already ANY of the extreme right wing fringe "Repug = tea bagger" assholes they run will win red states, but against, eg, Hillary, will lose.
