We look forward to your comments by phone and social media. Politico wrote a story yesterday about president obama, ending the year with improving Approval Ratings. The store the president is ending the year on a high note even performing better than his predecessor. This is from a recent gallup poll showing obama with warty 3 at the end of his sixth year in office, putting them ahead of george w. Bush who saw a 37 Approval Rating at the end of his six year back in 2006. The poll was published on the 19th of december, showing that bill clinton and Ronald Reagan enjoyed 67 and 48 Approval Ratings at the same respective points but for obama it is the latest in a number of recent polls that have been favorable for the president. So, there is a starting point for our conversation this morning. First we want to remind you of the story that the Huffington Post put out a couple of days ago. They write what they see as the official biggest losers of 2014, writing this way sometimes the best effort is just not good enough and at those times one is a loser. In no particular order, here are the biggest losers of 2014 according to the Huffington Post. They begin with the democrats. They got no shellacking, no thumping, no nothing. Republicans just wanted it more. They also talk about bobby jindal. Host just a starting point there. We have our first call this morning from nate in tennessee. Good morning. Caller how are you doing . Host good. Who had the best and worst year in washington . Caller the best will be the republican establishment. His latest continuing resolution, they could have showed some real back home by pushing it to february, but they push it into september. They betray all the people that put them in office. The biggest losers . I dont know, i guess it would be my spectrum of the party i hate to say that, constitutional conservatives. We actually feel the country is on the road to tyranny. By acquiescing to this president who shreds the constitution and defecates on it, they are betraying us. Guys like senator alexander in tennessee, hes a winner because he is part of the establishment. Boehner, it is just amazing how quick he turned around to doublecross us. Have a good day, sir. Host all right, jack is on the line now from appalachia, new york. Hey, jack. Caller good morning, how are you doing . Host what do you think . Caller i am Jack Strickland that i wanted to say that this program can suck my balls. Host we are moving on to mark in kingston, jamaica. Go ahead. Who had the best and worst year in washington, 2014 . Caller the democrats got the worst year because of the election. Host tell us more. Caller the democrats lost bigtime in the midterms. I think the republicans definitely had a better year this year. Host thank you for calling. When he writes that the best year was had by propaganda politicians, the worst year was the middle class. Host of course, we know the republicans took over in the last election. This is on the Huffington Post piece on the official big losers of 2014. Chris christie, they write taking the fight to the wrong nurse. That was after the nurse and the governor got into a battle over that issue. Host more on that a little bit later. Matthew from washington, democratic line. Caller i was going to say that eric cantor probably wound up having the worst year. Mitch mcconnell had the best year. But the president like fedor and 2013, he had a bad year but wound up having a great 2014, by Barack Obamas going to do the exact same thing. Host michael, hey there. Caller i think the republicans this year. They were allowed to take the majority in the senate. Put more money in their own pockets. Host how about the worst year . Caller the worst year has to be police departments. Host how come . Caller they kill a bunch of people and might have to wear body cameras now. Caller david wrote this year that free speech was the biggest loser host david writes that free speech was the biggest loser biggest loser. Mark pryor, according to this host they also pointed to the Washington Redskins in this piece. The team seems more dysfunctional than ever. Him and him him himmo mo is on the line now. Caller good morning. I think the republicans have the worst year this year. Host how come . Caller the views that they left on the American People have us thinking that they were against the lower class, the middle class, and it just i think for me, frighteningly, is this going to be our future . I think that they left that case. Host how about the fact that the republicans took over the senate by a pretty decent margin . Caller i see a lot of political power, persuasion, and money that is due to those numbers. Host all right, thank you. Arden, democratic caller, good morning. Caller i think that cspan had the worst year . Host how come . Caller you have 435 house members in the best that you all could do all the time was have people like steve king and Marsha Blackburn on your show. It looks to me that you could do a better job having someone with a bit of principles. Host who would you like to see . Caller some house of representatives that represent the country the way that they talk. You never say anything back to them whenever wrong. Thank you. Host ok. Back to twitter host we are continuing to take your calls, the lines on the bottom of the screen. From social media and facebook you can also send us an email. Wendell writes that the president had the best year because he did everything he could for the people. He also writes that the republicans had the worst year because they did nothing. Surely comes back and says where have you been living. Back to the article written by the Huffington Post this morning. They write about Gabby Giffords having one of the worst years in washington. Host guest that, according to the Huffington Post this morning, their official biggest losers of 2014. More on all of this from the last week or so from politico. Who has been naughty and nice in washington . This is a piece by matt vladimir. The former editors of the new republic, they write the most proudly Unemployed People on the happy campers of wall street until they had a media pile on of chris hughes so smug that even bill cosby pitied him. Host back to the phones on who had the best year and worst year this year. John, oregon seaside. Caller how are you doing . I think the American People that the worst this year. The 1 got the best. I think that the crony capitalism is ruining our country. When you have so many people out of work and then the 1 holding trillions of dollars, the people that work for walmart, for target, getting two hours per week, barely making minimum wage, then these big corporations doing better than they have ever had in their history and they cannot take the money back. I think it is a shame that we, the American People, have to suffer because of the rich. Host us we go, illinois, steve hey, steve. Caller the conservative wings of the Republican Party had a bad year. The other side would be the establishment republicans. They had the best year. I think it is going to be the same one year from now. Caller i was going to ask you about 2015. The president still in office of course, Republican Congress, what are you expecting here in town . Caller i expect them to spend the same amounts of money as before. I expect large budget deficits and the National Debt to go up. I expect them to do nothing more than they did last year, like with this bill that they just passed for spending next year. Its going to be the same. You are going to see static spending until probably, maybe until we get a conservative republican president who sticks by his guns, i think that george bush, hastert, boehner and all what was his name . Trent lott, all those people who wanted to be conservative republicans and tamp down the spending, i think that they destroy the Republican Party. But thats my room my opinion. Host thanks for calling him, jim, texas. Caller first time caller. Thank you for my call. Host glad that you made it in, finally. Caller yeah, finally got in. Harry reid in harry reid the progressives got the best of it because they were able to appoint as many progressive and liberal judges as they could. The American People to the worst of it for the very same reason. Host thank you for calling. Back to facebook hi host tom is on the line from saddle brook, new jersey. Hey, tom. Tom, are you there . Cannot hear tom. Lets try david in spirit lake, iowa. Are you there, dave . Caller good morning, im here. I think the American Public got the short end of the stick. And i believe that thanks to the democrats and lack of transparency, those examples of the irs coverup, they could not find the email records and later they find 20,000 or more . Latest by dianne feinstein. She wants to get down to the truth on this political issue this torture issue . Yet where was she getting to the bottom of the truth on benghazi or the irs or any of the other issues . I think that the American Public has lost a lot of faith and i believe that the newspapers have lost scribers and no longer have the financial ability to actually investigate the checks and balances. I believe the Supreme Court has become political and i think the American People of the losers. Host ok, back to twitter host Political Rights about the creators of buzz feed host they also have the dnc chairwoman, from florida. This year she came up with the most fiendish plot yet to rule and republicans, put them in charge of congress. They already regret it, truly diabolical. Lindsay is on the line now. Democratic caller, thank you for waiting. Caller the worst year was for my granddaughter, eight, my son did not get unemployment in michigan because of a technicality. This is their second year, they are hungry and cannot pay their rent. And for the older people in mississippi that i see sometimes have been cut back to one bath per week. Its no longer cyclical and they are sick. That is my comment. Thank you. Host wade is on the line from california. Independent line, hello. Go ahead, turn the sound off on your set, we will be able to hear you much better. This is weight from redding, california. Hello. I there. Caller i want. Ok. Ok, i wanted to congratulate mr. Obama and his wife for making gas prices go down in the economy. Doing a great year. Caller who is having a bad year question host who is having a bad year . Caller [no audio] host think we lost in there. Lets try bert. Florida. Caller [indiscernible] obama was lying and deceiving. The losers are the people at cspan for not calling people out on this, the people that did call when missed mr. Obama said you could keep your insurance and your doctor and keep things and then they came back and said he could not. That they tried to cover it up and lie about it. Again, once they did get caught in the light, where were all the people telling you all of this before the election, before he got elected the second time . I just think of the National Media tries to tell people after they see the first turn, that mr. Obama was deceiving. Host where do you get most of your news from . Caller a lot of it is on the internet. A lot of it is from the different sources on television, radio. Host pretty broad. Caller yes. Host ok, thank you for calling. George, decatur, hey, george. You with us . Caller yes, i sure am. Host who had the best and worst years in washington and why . Caller i would say both parties have had the same year. I am calling really because i wish the Medicare Advantage subsidies would be reintroduced to the medicare ran. They have been taken away and put to the obamacare, causing a downgrade in the coverage on the Medicare Advantage plans. We didnt get what we asked for. I have been a democrat my life but this is not the party i grew up with. Host thank you. We will do this for about 20 more minutes or so, but we want to turn your attention to the New York Times. This is a photograph from yesterday. This is the widow of officer rafael ramos with her two sons at the funeral for her husband on saturday. He was shot, along with another officer one week ago. The funeral was yesterday. If the camera can move over, there are more pictures from the New York Times piece. Filling up with blue coats early, footsteps of saddened officers, the medley of sounds were the sounds of the city shaking itself awake. They wrote about Christmas Decorations in the doorways and windows with the babar with the barbaric death that tested the citys character and more than 20,000 leagues officers came from as far away as wisconsin and england, some driving to the night to make it. 20,000 officers, many, many more onlookers yesterday in new york city. Tom has been waiting on the line from saint augustine, florida. Good morning, tom. Caller i wanted to make a comment regarding the best and worst. The people who have the worst year were the American People. Those that love the constitution, those that believe in supporting the constitution. The people that had the best year are the politicians that have sold out to special interests. Both democrats and republicans and independents have sold out. Host what are you looking forward to from the folks in washington this year . Caller i am looking forward to them proving that they are not going to be bogged down like the Previous Congress and senate. I want them to prove that they mean what they say. Caller do you think it is host do you think it is possible that they will be bogged down . Caller it is possible, if the republicans are smart, they control both houses and will become functional and actually serve the American People. Host patrick on twitter host back to politico this morning host host thomas, riverhead, what do you say . Caller the republicans did best, maintaining a little bit of some power. But the thing that concerns me is what they do with it and that they dont let the people down. This has happened time and time again. You see all these things, these policies they get put forth obama and his liberal agenda, no one seems to be able to stop them. The stuff that he has done you could take a look around the country. I look at my neighbors, i talked to everybody, they are crippled with these policies. The obama care, the economy. Jobs this is the worst, the worst president ever and office. He is not giving any relief and the republicans have to take the ball and run with it and help the people of the country. This is getting to the point of ridiculousness. There is a lot of ignorance. Nobody pays attention to what is going on in front of them. It is being laid out in front of you. Freedom is being taken away. Obamacare is the worst thing thats ever happened. I dont understand some of the people who call and who dont really look at what is going on. I dont know how they are not affected. Host lets hear from herbert and camilla, georgia. Caller america appears to be coming out of the vigil. We got the most calls coming in republicans are mostly white you understand me . It was 2000 miami. I am retired. I told them, when bush got into office, they are going to shoot themselves in the foot again. The worst thing that we are suffering that we need to understand, we just need to stop fighting. This division, this republican and democrat, we need to start being americans. They are making a hundred times more than the minimum wage. Obama doesnt have anything to gain. Those people have more money than obama does. The president doesnt doesnt control the insurance companies. Youve got to get mad at them. That is what time it is. We have got to wake up. We need to stop this division america. Caller herbert, thank you for calling host herbert, thank you for calling from georgia. Chris alyssa recently roast that obama had the worst year for crises abroad and losses at home. His sixth year in office was arguably his worst, it all came crashing down around him. It started with him along with memoirs questioning his decisionmaking and judgment. Arthur, judgment. Arthur, good morning. Caller thank you. The biggest loser this years the gulf of mexico, they found a big glob of oil down there with nobody trying to make it in the she to suck it up. The biggest winner is auditory sociopaths who wish to continue the war on women can now independently do something in their environment, because they are already stretched out to
