I suppose US media is like UK media? alwyas with the scare stories?

I suppose he got a lot of votes because of jobs going abroad.

I thought back in 2005 China would take off. I though there might be a brain drain from the US to China, but someone just scoffed.

As for the EMP weapon, as refered to in the video....US key military is hardened to protect them from it. PBS America channel has very revealing documentaries.
So even if Russia did fire one of these at the US, the US military would still be able to organise a counter strike. Once the launch codes get to the subs, it's very difficult for an enemy to stop a retaliatory strike as the subs are clearly mobile.

I think they shield devices with sheet metal cages.

Back in 2012 the so called psychics were predicting that Obama would not get a second term. Well clearly he did. However as always these charlatans changed it so that Obama would not complete a second term.

Since the time is drawing near I thought I would check up on what these idiots are saying now.

I came across this terrifying video predicting terrible things to happen by 2017

I say relax. It is just more undiluted nonsense.

You can be sure that come 20th January 2017 someone whose name begins with a D will be sworn is as the next US President.

Do you think Obama will finish his term of office?
Oh I had forgotten my little prediction

Something like 49% didn't vote and Hilary got .2% of a vote more than him overall. Wonder how many of the 49% who didn't vote are protesting right now.

It's an old trick - start 26 threads then bump the correct one 2 months later.

I though he looked ill yesterday, grey in complexion as well as hair.

Perhaps he was a little nauseous.

By popular vote, they didn't.

And Obama's approval rating is high.

Approved by who, not the millions of Americans who live on the breadline still, as we all know polling and the companies that do them have no frigging idea about the mood and opinion of the American electorate,

Trump for goodness sake. Parallels here - like having Gemma Collins as the Queen, or Russell Brand in No 10.

It's like those films, Dave and King Ralph all coming to life.

Well he comes across as a nice guy, that doesn't necessarily mean he's competent.

Kept us out of WW III, economy stabilized, people have health care, he begged for gun control. All good in my book.

More people voted for John McCain in 2008 than voted for Trump

Well you find a thread where I did do that. You will not find one.

You will find one, back in January 2016, where I predicted that Trump would win.

How did he keep you out of something that never happened (or even looked likely)?

Economy stabilised - by what measure? I guess Obama-Care is better than nothing.

As for begging...not very Presidential.

Obama is always very good at campaigning. Not very good at being Presidential

He has a spectacular bum and I couldn't say that about any other US president in my lifetime so far.
