You reps nominated a spoiled, arrogant, obnoxious, flip-flopping, tone deaf, tax dodging, job killing, religious nut with no oratory skills. You've managed to turn this indifferent Dem into a gleeful Obama supporter.

Don't you think those wonderful oratorical skills are wasted on a man with nothing to say except for appeals to fear and envy?

Exactly. Once again the GOP picks a moderate center right candidate and the slobbering lemminglike Democrats go off the deep end claiming he's some sort of reactionary troglodyte.

Meanwhile, she's "gleefully" voting for the most radical extremist President in history, with a record that makes Carter's look good.

Moral of the story: Eleanor will vote for any Democrat no matter what.

Most radical extremist huh...

No matter how many times you right wingers repeat that, the fact will remain that he has governed, at most, from the center. He's been the Republican party's wet dream - tax cuts (instead of actual stimulus), military budget growth, foreign wars, domestic drilling (despite the right wing lie), private sector health insurance (you'll recall this is what Republicans used to want, before a Democrat embraced the idea). The only problem is he has a (D) next to his name, a funny sounding name, and, for some, the wrong melanin content.

How did adopting the GOP's own plans become radical and extremist?

I guess you are referring to only 1 piece of Obamas legislation, the healthcare bill, that a small handful of individuals proposed but was completely LAUGHED at by most Republicans then. What on gods earth makes you think a tiny handful of Republicans speak for all GOP members? Btw, there were very distinct differences between those bills, and what Obama passed, but thats a different topic.

Is this the ONLY thing Obama has accomplished, or is this the only thing you wish to discuss because everything else has failed miserably?

Gaining private sector jobs (as opposed to losing them) and increasing GDP (as opposed to negative GDP growth) are odd ways to define "failed miserably."

It could have been much better had he and the Democrats had the testicular fortitude to actually push for real stimulus. Instead, we got what the right wanted - a bunch of tax cuts - and a little bit of actual stimulus. The GOP reaction? Labeling Obama the most radical commie extremist president ever - for doing what they wanted.

Obama has lost 1.5M jobs since he was sworn into office, and GDP grows usually regardless of who's president provided your not entering a recession.

Its called an economic business cycle, not an Obama is great. Only one of them is studied in school, guess what one?

The economic business cycle, of course. The latter is common knowledge.

So we're back to blaming Obama for bad things (losing jobs, despite the fact that he entered at the low point of the worst recession in decades), and denying all credit for any good things that have happened since (back to positive GDP growth, gaining private sector jobs).

It's nice how he's simultaneously responsible and not responsible for the economy. Only in the minds of the delusional.

I suppose at least it's consistent with blaming him for high gas prices, then claiming he has no effect on gas prices when they fall.

Why can't right wingers pick a position (other than D = bad) and stick with it?
