One thing's for sure: whoever wins the election is going to need a lot of time to dig out of the mess he inherited from Obama.

I just don't care for your convenient omission of facts but I doubt your thread will inspire millions of Democrats to not vote so it doesn't really matter.
I have to take you to task for blaming the Republicans in Congress for all Obama's failures. He had a heavy Democrat majority for his first two years and wasted his time on stimulus and Obamacare when he could have been doing something that would have worked. He and his two leaders in the Congress, Nasty Nancy and Dirty Harry, blew it all on those two things and neither of them was debated in Congress so I guess the Republicans didn't get a chance to obstruct them, huh.

I don't think that this thread will divert any leaner votes at all but one has to try to keep the truth in front of the voters, it seems.

Deflection by leaners is deflection and you are a master at doing it. What was that thread topic, anyway?

How do you explain the tiny fact that Obama had a total majority in Congress for his first two years in office and did NONE of the things he promised on the economy or jobs?

He could have gotten anything he wanted passed as was demonstrated when he shoved ObamaCare down an unwilling America's throat.

Which also brings up the broken promise that ALL legislation would be posted online for several days so the American people could read it and that all legislation would be done in a transparent fashion....not behind closed doors as was what actually happened.

I see that you are quoting the intellectual branch of the Democrat Party. That would be Joe Biden who continually reminds us of those two things as the main accomplishments of the Obama administration. Clint Eastwood pointed out Biden as the intellectual of the Party.

Except that Obama himself sued banks in Chicago to force them to make loans to people who couldn't afford them.

Except Obama was 4th on Fanny and Freddie's campaign donation list despite only being in Congress for one year at the time.

Except that Bush and Greenspan, beginning in 2002, warned Congress 12 times that there was a financial crisis looming if the Democrats didn't reign in Fanny and Freddie only to be called "paranoid" and "racist" by Watters, Dodd, and Barney Frank.

Besides GM is alive
It still filed for bankruptcy even after they were bailed-out showing we should have allowed them to go bankrupt in the first place.

GM still owes the taxpayers BILLIONS.

Obama bailed-out GM to help his UAW cronies while dealerships were closed, people lost their jobs, health care, and pensions.

My garbageman would have made the exact same no-brainer decision. No one in America would have NOT decided to OK killing Bin Laden.

How about we cut him some slack, maybe it'll just take him 8 years instead of 4 years....
But it isn't his fault: It was first Bush's; then BP; then other countries: then the Republicans refused to work with him: then the snow storm and the drought and and and and:

Obama's whole campaign is geared toward blaming someone else for his failures, demanding tax returns from his opponent, dividing this nation by pitting the poorer against the wealthy, the young against the old, and race against race.

Obama should just have some yards signs printed with:
