For supporters of this president it matters even less when they are shown the failures that continue to pile up. Just keep supporting him, drinking that koolaid and wait for instructions as to what to think.

You may want to check the histories of the auto industry. Only after the government withdrew did they start to show any profit at all. By socialzing the industry (government takeover) they actually retarded the recovery of the industry.

It doesn't seem very responsible to me to allow Hollywood access to information regarding the Bin Laden raid just to boost his ratings at election time. I wouldn't call that being a Commander in Chief when you jeopardize your troops in future actions.

I wonder if a movie will be made regarding the 30 seals that died in the recent failed effort? But that shouldn't be attributed to Obama should it. He's better at TAKING credit and PLACING blame.

That pretty much sums up his whole administration.

That economy is a direct result of the policies of things that happened before he took office. He inherited the Great Recession. I guess you'd have to think for yourself to come to grips with that.

Fine but he also gets credit for a tanking down the river, and over a cliff economy, and going down fast A sluggish and worse housing criris ever, and still going strong. So so sad, for so many new family's will be out of a home, due to a loss of job. Job failure, what is it now over 2.4 million have lost jobs under Obama.

And so many businesses afraid to invest in their business due to Obama. Oh one thing he does win at, is the game of BLAME, he is so very good at this game.

I'm a freakin Canadian! Just who is it that you think is giving me instructions? LOL. I make my judgements of the president by what he supports and the policies he attempts to inact. I just can not believe the lack of any kind of political understanding from most of Obama's opponents.

Like the never ending complete stupidity about the man being "A leftist". What kind of garbage is that? I myself am left-center and Obama is way to the right of me. That is just one illustration about the intellectual bankruptcy of the right in the USA. Many of them are too smart to believe it themselves but they are the other type on the right. Liars and propagandists. They shovel the BS and their tools gobble it up.

Right back at you. Just who do you think you are to lecture the citizens of another nation on how to think? We are not all socialist down here.

I guess you would have to think for yourself to remember the promises made, time and again, of how if we "immediately" accepted the decisions of 0bama we would come out of the recession immediately. All the worthless plans and schemes have proven to be just that, worthless.

I didn't say who was responsible, in fact if you paid a little more attention you would see where I have posted many times, the economy, with ups and downs is a result of many things and many years: my comment was his administration and supporters will do anything to take the attention away from the economy and it might help if you would admit that, then realize, he may have inherited the recession but he, so far, has made little if any progress in correcting the problems. Can you deny that?
