The op is using yet another tactic the left is trying out - I don't really like obama but...

Quite transparent and it won't sway a single sane indie.

are you crazy? The fact is America was in far worse shape in 1980. interest rates were near 20%, we were in a terrible economy and the Soviet Union was WINNING!

Mr. Obama took office with a great chance to turn things around. That turn around has been done before. Liberals have said they could have done a better job in 1980 had they been given a chance.

Well, they got that chance and FAILED.

Go talk to any small business person. they will tell you that they are not hiring BECAUSE of the insanity of this administration! They feel they are under seige with massive regulation threats of massive tax liabilities etc.

Mr. Obama doent get the benifit of the doubt not just for those reasons, but more importantly because he told us what he would do, and what would be the result. He did what he said he would do and the result has been nowhere near what he promised.

It is his POLICY that failed us.

He didn't inherit it. He wasn't appointed President, he begged for the job.
We didn't beg him to take the job and fix the mess. He begged us to let
him use all of his experience, qualifications, accomplishments and hands-on
know-how to fix things. We did. He didn't. He made it much worse. Next.

So Obama inherits a mess spends 4 years making it worse and offers no vision for the future yet you want 4 more years? Yeah that sounds logical.

How exactly is the situation today worse than it was in Jan 2009, much less 6-8 months following his policies starting to take effect?

This is beyond stupidity.

Translation

Person was in a car wreck 4 years ago. they had 10 broken ribs, collapsed lung, busted spleen and a lacerated kidney.

Doctor botched the surgery and now the person is over the broken ribs collapsed lung, has no spleen but needs a kidney transplant because of the botched surgery.


Mr. Einstein here thinks the guys is "better off".

BUT he didnt create the problems ORIGIONALLY, so four more years to correct them.
It doesn't help us when Obama stops job creation. He is the worst of the worst for the bad times we are in.. take a good look at Trulia foreclosures on the net.. Orlando alone has 14 thousand foreclosures on the market today. It is not getting any better for the folks losing their homes.. and for the people who do work , they may be in the unemployment line in the future and the foreclosures will continue. Eventually the tax base will dwindle bringing more taxes on the ones who do have a job. This will hurt the economy, and it will be a vicious circle unless we get someone in that will create jobs.

The liberal media is cutting the throats of Americans pushing this socialist agenda president. They don't care till they too are unemployed.

With no tax base we will be like Greece and Spain . Entitlements will be cut when China says we are not going to lend to you anymore.

I am sure the People in Spain did not plan to be unemployed.. 25% of people in Spain are unemployed and 50 % of younger people are without a job.

We have a chance and a slim one.. 4 years of ignoring the unemployment numbers is what Obama has done.. When Obama killed the Keystone pipe line he killed thousands of jobs and grew the food stamp base. Is that what I want for four more years for America? NO!

Ronald Reagan "inherited" a lousy economy from Carter. He turned the economy around in 3 years which is why Reagan was re-elected and Obama won't be.
