Someone recently pointed out how much Barack Obama's style and strategies resemble those of Latin American charismatic despots - the takeover of industries by demagogues who never ran a business, the rousing rhetoric of resentment addressed to the masses and the personal cult of the leader promoted by the media. But do we want to become the world's largest banana republic?

America is far less safe – and the world is far less stable – than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge of America's foreign policy.

I think we have to get NATO to go into the Middle East with us, in addition to surrounding nations, and we have to knock the hell out of ISIS, and we have to do it fast, when ISIS formed in this vacuum created by Barack Obama and Secretary Clinton. And believe me, you were the ones that took out the troops.... When they formed, this is something that never should have happened. It should have never happened.

I don't think so.

Mr. Trump genuinely has nothing to lose. He doesn't need the money, he doesn't need the power and he certainly doesn't need the fame. It seems that Donald Trump genuinely thinks the country is going to hell and simply doesn't want to wait on the sidelines as it happens. Can he win? Who knows. One thing's for sure; if Barack Obama makes this into another election that places personality over substance, celebrity over accomplishments, I can see only one outcome... Mr. President, you're fired.

The statements of our Kenyan brother of American nationality, Obama, on Jerusalem … show that he either ignores international politics and did not study the Middle East conflict or that it [Barack Obama's expression of solidarity with Israel] is a campaign lie.

He is a pious Christian and a member of the United Church of Christ.
