Take ALL the trash out in November.
You're right. Carter may have been a bungling idiot, but at least he didn't hate his own country.

My feeling and hubbys as well. I never heard him or his wife say any negative things about America nor did he do anything to side with those that were not pro America.

Default Obama is very competent

Obama is very competent, if by "competent" you mean...

Trying to increase employment by berating and attacking one industry after another, and piling on costs, fines, taxes, and senseless regulatory burdens,

Trying to boost capital investment by stealing money from investors of capital, as in the Chrysler and GM cases,

Trying to increase the vitality of the economy by speaking of profit as if it were a vile and disgusting thing, and never using the word "corporation" without the adjective "unscrupulous."

He is competently attempting to turn a severe recession into a great depression.

The question that we voters will answer in November is "How stupid are we?"

Horse****. He and his cadre of anti-American dillweeds will be lucky if they're not thrown out of office by mid-2011. Condemning America (i.e. apologizing for it) is an impeachable act of treason.

The media-driven rock star idea has failed. It's time to return to leadership with less style and more substance. Mainly, someone who will love America and not apologize for it.

Their small govt nonsense means less regulation. Less regulation means the rich get richer and the rest go to hell. Less regulation means more food recalls, historically bad oil spills because of cuttting corners, ineffective responses to natural disasters (like Katrina), and neglect of federal investment in medical and technology research that could find the cure for deadly diseases. A cure fo cancer or alzheimers might've been found with the trillion dollars they wasted on a failed ideological war that we are trying to get away from now. Among this bunch, warmongering remains high on the agenda because they believe that every society should be just like ours and strives for such. How pompous. They think it's ok to attack sovereign nations unprovoked even when those nations pose no imminent threat to this country. They don't mind lying to get congressional approval, then continuously lying about how well the war is being managed. This tactic perpetuates war and keeps the public from focusing on their inability to solve domestic problems.

They are about protecting those who benefited from discriminating and denying opportunities to others. They oppose affirmative action, holding that racism no longer exists to the detriment of certain minorities, even as they practice discrimination. They have a very backwards view of abortion, having the gaul to believe that any man can tell a woman what to do with her body. It goes on, but their narrative has been nothing but negativity since this great president was overwhelmingly elected. Their negativity continues in the form of some of the most pathetic political figures in history: Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck. Incredible.

Fortunate? What has he done for the good of the country?

One thing to keep in mind is that 47% of Americans pay no income tax, many of these non-tax payers also get GOV handouts. This segment will keep Obama and Dems in general competitive.

but also remember these same 47% (certainly not all of them I will add) generally don't vote. The ones that do are those mainly on SS so they do not pay taxes anymore but they are the ones that do vote. Many are conservatives.
