Yep, when a war criminal can win a Nobel Peace prize, you know reality no longer exist for some.

Re: Fact vs. Hype
I am much more concerned with the austere body (Congress, made up by a Democratic-led Senate and a Republican-led House, neither of whom understand the word compromise) that holds our Nation's purse strings than with some nonsensical award administered by a outdated, 113-year-old Swedish and based the last will of inventor of dynamite.

what is the reality?
what are the President's differences from reality?

As Jon Stewart would say, this is just more people yelling at empty chair Obama and not at reality Obama.

Do not insult the empty chair.... it would at least be smart enough not to go 3 year without a budget.

Reality is $6 Trillion in new debt, more wars, drone attacks that have killed 178 children and countless innocent civilians and the only president in the history of the country to have the unemployment rate above 8% for over 43 months... That is Obama's reality.. Fail!

If you think he is the root cause of all of this, then you are the one out of touch with reality.
Each Presidency does not exist in a vacuum. Not arguing that these aren't problems, but it's not like one person caused all of this, or that you know, Congress isn't also ineffective.
Calm down and just come to the realization the rest of us have, that our system is imperfect, Congress screws up, and at least 40% of the population at any given time are annoyed with whoever the President is.
Why don't you find something original to complain about? If I want to hear this I can turn on FOX.

So, why did we elect and re-elect Obama? I thought that change was coming???
Am I suppose to sit here and twittle my thumbs while Rome burns? no budget in 3 years.. I am not asking that he keeps every promise.. just a couple..

So why did you support Obama? How has he been different from Bush?If you think he is the root cause of all of this, then you are the one out of touch with reality.

Re: Fact vs. Hype
would there not be Drones no matter who the president is? It took decades to develop them.
And would America not be using them in some third world conflict or another, for the sake of trying them out? Even Reagan bombed up Libya a few times. It had no strategic value, but it allowed many americans to exercise wrath vicariously.

But, Obama is pulling the trigger and firing the the weapon.
