You mean like Obama is there for Sandy victims? Yes, he visited and yes he called. He's also out playing golf while hundreds of thousands still have no power (and no heat) almost two weeks later, and so many have no place to live. What happened to leaving nobody behind?

Oh, me, too. I voted for him twice and miss him.

Using fear to run a country and push an agenda is about as divisive as it gets. I'd been involved with the R party my entire adult life, but those years during the Bush administration, especially during his second term, are when I realized that there were deep, ugly problems in the party, and it's become a million times worse since then. Obama is no savior, but you're going off the deep end on this one.

BS and you know it. Bush didn't lie about WMD, he went by the information he was given. You know, the same information that had people like Clinton and Powell agreeing we should go in.

Scaring the living crap out of people? Did you forget about this???

The one point I can agree with you on is that Obama is not a savior.

Yes, he should have been. We've also seen unprecedented one-sided thrashing and non-vetting by the MSM, greatly contributing to the brainwashing of America.

I am sure you do, if I was a far-right Republican I would miss W and all his dumb remarks too.

FDR was elected twice more when the economy was much worse, and one last time because we were in the middle of a war. Reagan was elected again after his first term produced the deepest recession since the 30's. In fact, it was the second worst of the 20th century.

The fact is: Voters tend to stick to the incumbent in times of stress. Whether the voters like him or not seems to be not nearly as important as the incumbent predictability; they know the guy, good or bad, and they don't know the other guy.

President Obama said similar words when he was elected the first time, as did President Bush before him and President Clinton before Bush. And, do you know what? They all mean it, even if it turns out otherwise at the end. They do serve one nation, like it or not. And in that nation, there are always going to be about half who think they've been let down.

Gawd, what a freakin' right-wing alternative universe. Pathetic. First and foremost, Bush was in the service of republican Wall Street - thus the crash.
Want to play a game of quotes? Okay, who said this:
** “There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America.”
** “In the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can change it.”
** “Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.”
** “Our stories may be singular, but our destination is shared.”
** “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our Democracy; Tonight is your answer.”
** “it’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds."

Here's some for your republican fascist Congress:
** “Cynicism is a sorry kind of wisdom.”
** “What Washington Needs is Adult Supervision.”
** “We will outstretch the hand if you unclench your fist. ”

Uhm..correct me if I'm wrong...But didn't you start the thread? Apparently it is YOU that haven't gotten over the election. Bottom Line, Obama won the majority of the votes.

Yes. Obama is making it very clear that he has nothing but utter contempt for the taxpaying half of this nation. In fact he's made it very clear that his biggest interests are those who are living here illegally -- he's got nothing but all great things planned for them.
