This can't be right. The TROLL PATROL says that Obama has done a great job and the Republicans are lying about his presidency.
So I will say it again, the 2 worst presidents in my life time are #1 Obama and #2 Carter.

I watched the SOTU and the analysis on Al Jazeera America (AJAM).
I'm sure it was more balanced and interesting than FOX, MSNBC, CNN or the Networks.
I find myself watching AJAM more and more.
