California Jewel -- no offense but you sure like that "Cool Aide Comment" - is this a marketing ploy????
A_Lexus: Look I appreciate you agreeing with my comment on Obama but don't get carried away I'm not Anti-Republican. I'd guess there are about the same number of republicans who appreciate Obama as there are Democrats who appreciate Gingrich. I remember as a child "Parochial and Public". Irrational differences created by being a part of a group. Individually or as a group we have to make individual choices and for me that was and still is Obama -- as far as best President -- wow that is a stretch. Every President has his best moment and has his worst. He faced economic disaster -- how about the threat to our "Democracy", "The Free World", or our own civil rights -- Are any of the presidents who have addressed those issues be less than also the best. He is a man of conviction and his shadow is felt in every corner of the world because he represents the best of all of us and so long as he performs his duties with that in mind the clamor of those who may disagree doesn't bother me. Results cause you to either move in a forward direction or backwards but in a time of crisis most feel anything is better than standing still. I like someone who puts hic back to the wheel and even though it may be uphill he exerts all of his efforts to get it going in the right direction. Anybody out there who disagrees must be on Gatorade -- whatever that means.

Noted.

A "registered Republican" doesn't make you a conservative. A true conservative wouldn't find the ideals or actions of Barack Obama satisfactory.

I won't even go into the fact that when Barack Obama filed for candidacy,we were not yet in the Great Recession. So all this jibberish about Obama running in the face of a crisis was not what he signed up to do. In fact, after September 2008, he had to change his message to accommodate the crisis that was unfolding. Prior to that, the message was all about Unicorns Shcitting Skittles and all other things Hopey Changey that you fell for.

Why don't you go ahead and admit you're a liberal who's as easily conned as the rest of your brethren? You'll feel better in the morning for getting it off your chest.

Obama's done nothing in his two years, other than adding trillions in debt for programs that have accomplished absolutely nothing.

The programs that have added 'trillions' to the national debt are mostly non-discretionary and war. If you're worried about national debt you should be quaking in your boots at the thought of Gingrich or Romney as President

I was wonder how long it would take before one of the right-wingers would make that statement, thanks for jumping right in and not changing the typical trend.

Talk about wishful thinking.
Your wakeup call will be coming in November when the People of the United States of America re-elect Obama into office.
