    I really don't get why anyone would still be happy for Obama to be in office for 2 more years. Also, if you've already decided you're trying to be part of history by electing the first female POTUS, I can already tell you're not thinking critically. You're like all the people who voted for Obama because he's black. The fact that Obama is black or that Hillary is a woman has no bearing whatsoever on their qualification for the job - but people like you didn't care. Obama was a 1-term senator who, as it is clear now, had no real idea what he was doing, but he was elected anyway because he's black and not voting for him would be 'racist'.

    So,there you go-"ASSUMING" you know why I, or anyone for that matter voted for OBAMA-I can already tell your not "thinking" at all ,critically or anyways!
    I happen to think OBAMA has done a remarkable job as POTUS & not because of the color of his skin-he was handed a" huge" GOP mess on so many levels in 2008 & if he had one iota of help from our do nothing GOP's in Congress,we would be leaps & bounds ahead of where we are now-One thing is quite apparent to me & the rest of the citizens except for maybe the 10 or 12 BAGGERS on this forum & perhaps another handful of loud mouthed, gun toting,war mongers, that is the GOP certainly doesn't care about the condition of our country or the American citizens or they would actually be in Washington working progressively for the betterment of our country instead of whining,obstructing,suing,wasting tax payers money on phony made up scandals,costing taxpayers over 2 billion by closing down the Government-Have you seen their(Congress) work schedule for this year? What are we paying them for?The GOP is woefully lacking "in ALL categories"
    And I just have to smile when people say OBAMA lacks experience- or when one of you will actually say "Hillary doesn't have the experience" or "your voting for her just because she is a Woman"----Oh, wait,you just said that---
    But,I guess I should feel sorry for you--when people live their life assuming,they lose their common sense--how sad!---just saying----

    Basically, you're taking everything Obama said about how what he'd do differently on faith and assuming he would in fact make everything better? Lol.

    Remember, you, the American people, elected the congress you have. Those people in the House and Senate are the people YOU have chosen to represent yourselves and your states. If you don't like them you have only yourselves to blame. Don't keep blaming Bush, it's been 6 years, I don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) what Bush did. If Congress isn't doing anything because it's deadlocked, that means either you picked your representatives badly and you should unelect them this year, or they're expressing the citizens' inability to come to a decision by proxy. Either way, it is ultimately your fault, and Obama can't and won't be able to fix everything. However, you preference toward the whims of a single head of state (Obama) over the consensus of an entire elected body (Congress) is revealing about how much you actually like democracy.

    Seeing as how Obama isn't trustworthy, nor do I take people with almost no track record on faith, I have no faith that he would have made things as great as he claimed he would.

    Also it is a FACT that Obama had no experience. He was in the Senate for one term. That's it? THAT is your political resume? Sorry, not enough for me to have confidence in you. I don't care what pretty words he spouts, politicians have this nasty habit of saying one thing and doing another, so I don't care how many awesome, feel-good things Obama says, I don't have any reason to believe him and thus no reason to vote for him.

    See,there you go again,thinking you know so much about how everyone thinks---Well,besides the fact that you couldn't be more wrong,you should not quit your day job---just sayin----- FYI-I didn't take anything on faith & I certainly did not assume anything-As a matter of fact OBAMA has out performed beyond what I expected,given what he was handed(& as a note--You might want to forget about Bush & move on to blame everything on OBAMA,but as long as I am around-I won't let ya all forget what the GOP did to us & guess what--the GOP did it intentionally) What impressed me from the beginning with OBAMA was when asked a direct political question-he didn't skirt the issue-he answered the question,he wasn't worried about offending money donors or kissing anyone's arse-You know,if you listened to OBAMA on the campaign trail-he laid out his plan for the country,he has not varied from his plan,however,because of all the white noise you all want to spout & at every turn there is an attempt at obstruction,he is accomplishing a great deal of what he stated on the campaign trail with 2 years left to accomplish more-too bad you were not listening
    Yes,I do know it is the American people that elect our representatives-I'm doing my best to educate the voters on their choices-Hey,we didn't let Sharon Angle get in,thank-goodness,or Christine O'Donnell or Todd Akin,we got rid of Adam West & thank our lucky stars Michelle Bachman isn't running again,we just booted Eric Cantor to the curb & A BIG thank-you to the American voters that we sent Sarah Palin back to field dressing Moose.
    Oh,I like democracy just fine,where do you get off----,oh,there you go assuming again-
    There you go with the experience thing again-if you think for one minute McCain had the "experience" (my god,look who he picked as a running mate-or what is his now famous quote just before the market crashed in 2007 " The fundamentals of the economy is just fine" & his finacial advisor was one of the biggest players in bringing our country to her knees--- Phil Gramm-& collectively, how many years of experience in Washington did these 2 have---enough to figure out how to screw us all royally!!!! And you want to just forget it ever happened---STELLAR----

    What exactly has Obama done to impress you so much? All I've seen him do is continue to expand executive power, let the bureaucracy spiral out of control, botch the launch of the signature piece of legislation he wanted, and spy on everybody in an even more egregious violation of the 4th amendment than what Bush was doing.

    You're acting as if I forgot what Bush did. How could I possibly? Bush sent the US into Iraq, Bush basically constructed the foundations of what Obama is building towards and his predecessors might finally turn into a full-on police state. The War on Terror bull(*)(*)(*)(*) was an excuse for an executive power grab. But nothing Bush did is an excuse for how Obama has acted. If Obama gave a (*)(*)(*)(*) he'd stop acting like Bush. But he doesn't - the way he speaks about issues, his attitude appears be one of "Well, if the legislature won't do it then I'll tyr to find some way to do what I want without having them pass a law to do it". He just wants things his way - whether he's right is IRRELEVANT.

    I would not have voted for McCain because he supported everything Bush was doing and it would have been more of the same. TBH I think Hillary Clinton would have been the best (realistic) choice of the ones presented - but no, we had to have the black guy. Cuz he's black.

    My post was nothing but facts and your inability to refute is noted once again. You are denying that Congress passed more spending than Reagan requested and refused to pass the recessions he sent to them? Yes of no?

    You keep bringing up this "black" thing-WHY? Seems you have it in your head that that is the reason OBAMA got elected( twice,I might add),I do wish you would move on,off that-because,you couldn't be more wrong....How do I know that,you ask---Ok,I'll tell you-I worked on both OBAMA campaigns--OFA (organizing for America)OBAMA'S campaign was the most organized,disciplined,data correct,informative,reachable group of politically educated,intelligent people-at the head was OBAMA himself,he didn't just hand over the campaign to David Axelrod,he was actually there in person, approachable,not just shaking hands,but taking the time to answer the tough questions,the technology he employed,the youth,the energy, had nothing to do with the color of his skin. OBAMA & his campaign treated us volunteers with respect & gratitude. Politics can be an ugly,ugly business,but,I have to tell you,the positive energy was there every single day,the youth of this country that volunteered for OBAMA's campaign, blew me away,with their intelligence,positive attitude & stamina.
    And a lot of us have never sat down since the election,we are still engaged in educating the voters,continuing to educate ourselves(because,as soon as one thinks they have politics figured out-there is always another caveat to remind you how much more there is to learn).
    So,what has OBAMA done to impress me----I am a progressive,I find out what the problem is,evaluate the problem,fix the problem-move on-
    I am so tired of so many politicians kicking the problems down the road,leaving the problems growing until it costs us millions more & the problems are then so complex(Health Care is a perfect example of what I mean)& controversial.
    OBAMA "stopped" kicking the can down the road,he is facing head on some of these issues,he would tackle more if the lazy GOP's would think more about their Country then spending all their time trying to make OBAMA look bad.
    One more thing---Just for the record-OBAMA has signed" less" executive orders than most POTUS'---this white noise your hearing is just more political rhetoric-as OBAMA says-"If Congress doesn't like me to sign executive orders,there is a solution to that---"Get to work"!!!!

    Ah, the mastermind behind Al Quaida and the attack that killed over 3000 Americans is just a broken down old man not worthy of being brought to justice in your mind, eh?

    Your opinion doesn't prove the fact is false in the least.

    Thank you once again for demonstrating your inability to prove that even one of my facts is false.

    But it is amusing to watch you say these things happened "in spite of him" when in reference to negative economic news you say:


    Funny how that works.

    The economy was surging and deficits rapidly falling with the Clinton tax increase before the Cap gains tax cut.

    False. As I have proven to you before, the surplus was increasing before Bush took office.

    Obama inherited a deficit projected at $1.2 trillion, soon revised to $1.9 trillion, along with the worst recession in 80 years. It has since been cut by more than half.

    If you want to talk about squandering a surplus, Bush and the Republicans inherited a $236 billion surplus that was growing, and a couple years later his tax cuts and wild military spending turned that into a new record deficit.

    No doubt that Obama is a failure. When he went to Colo, all the big time democrats stayed away. I guess they had to wash their hair or something. Obama is such a failure he is political poison.

    I did not deny any such thing. I stated that your claim that the republican controlled Senate forced Reagan to run the huge deficits that he did is laughable.

    So what if Reagan requested a huge increase in deficit spending and the Senate added a few shillings to it. The Reagan administration and Republican Congress are still responsible for a massive increase in the deficit.
