Yes, he is a real American. He was born in Hawaii and raised by his white American mother who was from Kansas. Also, he went to Harvard. He's as real as raindrops. Just because he's not a white guy named Steve Johnson doesn't mean he isn't a real American. Barack Obama will win again.

He inherited that deficit going out of control, putz! He's also trying to pass the Warren Buffett Act, but Congress is being schmucks about it as usual.

Then I guess that means you don't want any interstate highways. People like you have a hard time understanding that this isn't about you. It's about we the people. That means compromise and solidarity. It's impossible to see that with your head in the sand, though.

We sure will.

It is difficult to believe, with this disasterous administration demonstrating its incompetence, how anyone would even consider casting a vote for Obama.

Are you proud to stand beside the original etch-a-sketch kid. Just run an endless loop of reversed positions without hint of explaination. Where does he stand on anything for any length of time. If he were a horse in a race, no one would ever place a bet on him.

Do you endorse having legislators pass laws without reading them and then standby when they tell you, it must be passed to see what's in it?
Is the that the America in which you wish to live?

how do explain obama's words when given the opportunity to explain, in hindsight, why he gave money to Solyndra and he said he would do it again. money ha, half a billion $$$ without expectation of a return on the taxpayers money. Moratorium on the gulf, an EPA run wild, billions to Brazil's Petrobras for deep water drilling.

Do you endorse Obama's class warfare strategy designed to divide the electorate simply to win an election at the sacrifice of the nation welfare?

No, the votes obama received in 2008 were based on a novelty election, that ship has sailed and will never return to port again.

You will sooner come across 2008 Obama voters who will change their vote in 2012 than find a single person who would now switch their vote to Obama in 2012.

Don't believe the news media propagandists.
I don't believe the news media propagandists. That's why I never watch FOX News or listen to Rush Limbaugh. I watch the national news with Diane Sawyer and the local news. Either that, or I see whatever is going on PBS because they're unbiased. I don't endorse anybody because I'm not a corporation, but I commend Barack Obama for his steadfast determination towards making the rich pay their fair share of taxes and bringing it to the attention of the American public. Barack Obama WILL get re-elected. Just you wait until November 6th when you see Sarah Palin go out crying like a little schoolgirl again.

why doesn't obama just issue an executive order?

he issues plenty of other executive orders, some even reversing executive orders he has already issued.

also, i don't think that pointing out that we have a "helpless" president is going to help his reelection bid.

one other thing no liberal has answered for me yet:

if bush's spending was so bad and his taxation was so low, why did obama do the same and more?

Who says he hasn't? He's tried to do lots of things but Congress won't let him. He DID save us from a second Great Depression using the executive order. The same thing he used in the killing of Osama bin Laden. He's not "helpless" either. The guy is doing a fantastic job handling more challenges than any other President since FDR. He's not a caretaker President like Gerald Ford was, but Obama is getting a lot done.

Let me remind you that the Iraq War is over; Osama bin Laden is dead; Obama saved us from a double dip recession; the economy is recovering; the unemployment rate is lower than it's been in two years; more than 100,000 jobs were insourced from China; and the stock market is better than it's been in 4 years. The only things he's done that I didn't like were extending the Bush tax cuts and the drone attacks. Even Bill Clinton said he didn't have much choice on the former. However, the latter shows he's not soft on terrorism. In fact, I think he's being a little too harsh by sending the drones over there to Pakistan because of the possible spoils.

The only qualified GOP candidate this year was Jon Huntsman, and he dropped out of the race. I can't wait to see Romney nominate the VP candidate. Let's see how bold they are in the debates. Barack Obama is a good debater. What will really be fun is watching Joe Biden go to town on the VP candidate like he did Palin.

What makes him unamerican is not where he was born or that he is half black, it is that he apologizes for our country when he should be touting our greatness. He does not support our way of life as a free market capitalistic society. He does not believe in American exceptionalism. He does not want to applaud success but punish it.

This Martin-Zimmerman case may derail Obama'e re-election. Folks don't like seeing the full force of the government being brought to bear on one man based on the say so of a man like Al Sharpton.

No it is about individualism. It is about striving for success and the rewards that come with it. It is also about charity, that liberals seem to despise unless the government is providing it. The highways are supposed to be maintained with the revenue from the gas tax. I have no problem with that. Was there any compromise in the first two years of Obama when he was telling the republicans to get in the back of the bus?

For the first part, he's apologizing to the rest of the world by cleaning up the mess Bush left him. What really sucks is he's probably spent a good chunk of his entire term doing damage control because the whole world is ticked off at us. He's quite adept at smoothing things over which is why he won the Nobel Peace Prize. As far as free market capitalism goes, I'm glad he doesn't if what you say is true. I'm glad he has the balls to stand up against corporations and to enforce regulations. He's doing something they should've done a long time ago. Teddy Roosevelt was called a trust breaker during his Presidency because he busted up all the monopolies. He wasn't popular at the time, but history has been a good judge.

Obama isn't punishing success, either. Did he bemoan those who won the science fair? Did he punish Bill Gates or Warren Buffett who actually wanted to pay more in taxes? The answer is, "No" to both of them. Also, if Barack Obama was a "socialist" he'd have nationalized all the oil though that may not be a bad idea. I'd much rather live in a socialist society than a plutocratic one which is exactly where we're headed if Romney gets elected. Barack Obama wants the working class and poor to have a better quality of life, better standard of living, and more opportunities to make those possible. If you think that's wrong, then it sounds to me like you need to have your head examined and have your values reassessed. Your statements are depicting every other thing that the GOP stands for and shows your lack of compassion speaks volumes.
