You're mistaken and in complete denial...comes with sour grapes I suppose.

8 years of Bush and Republicans have contributed greatly to where California is today...and don't you forget it.

He signed a stimulus package that will do little to stimulate the Economy and is estimated to cost several $ Trillion when you consider interest and adjustments that will be built in to the baseline of the budget. Not only that, but noone who supported the stimulus read the bill before voting for it and Obama didn't read it before he signed it into law.

You're right in the sense that little has changed and many of his proposed policies have yet to be implemented. Look at the hypocrisy of Obama: he criticized (rightfully so) Bush for spending too much and running up large deficits. What does Obama do? Propose significantly higher spending and much larger deficits? He railed against earmarks on the campaign trail and just signed a bill with 8500 of them.

Just step back without any bias and think about what he has proposed. His budget will add (according to CBO) $ 9.3 Trillion to our national debt over 10 years. His plan raises energy prices on everyone and increases taxes on the wealthy, many of whom are small business owners (and employ many people). These deficits and this debt is so large that it is going to put tremendous pressure on the US Dollar. He wants the Government to take over more control of the Healthcare system. He also wants the WH and Treasury to be able to seize private companies that they deem in trouble and take measures such as limiting executive compensation.

Just ask yourself if you want more power to be placed in the hands of individuals or the federal Government. If your answer is individuals, then you should oppose Obama.

Well you've certainly laid out a fine case for opposing Obama (with which I don't agree). Too bad this is a thread about impeaching him.

Next.

When you make a statement that a certain politicians policies are destroying a state you should be able to provide evidence of it.

When Obama messes up California for good, it will just be the tip of the iceberg. All states will follow. Barack will destroy this country swiftly.

Boxer will still have her cushy house and her taxpayer funded lifelong health care. After being on the wrong side of issues for her entire life and having had a hand in destroying America -- she will have no regrets.

Side note: When Nancy Pelosi goes to hell, the Devil better watch his butt. Nancy will succeed him.
Are you suggesting that republicans are intollerant of one anothers corruption/hippocracy? They must throw eachother under the bus willingly and not only when under political pressure.

Are you saying that ALL republicans are pro life and small government are going to use their years in total control as an example?

Are you seriously blaming California and our countries troubles on Obama? Do you think that the current governor/leader of Californias government is not responsible for what Californias going through? After all Arnold is the one that has been in office for only two months.

Don't forget that Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld have retired to their cushy lives after sending the entire country into a downward tailspin.

My side note: George W Bush has done more evil in this world than Pelosi could ever dream of. If Satan has anyone to worry about it's not Nancy Pelosi!

Kudos to you for making a sound case for opposition. I can respect your opinion since it is argued well. However, if I took 5 minutes, I could also build a very sound argument for why Obama is doing what needs to be done and deserves our support.
