Obama inherited this mess. We all know that.

O great Republican savant Dubya tanked the economy on his watch.

Republicans do not want to accept responsibility for what they created so they blame Obama.

If you get your "facts" from propagandists like the clowns at Fox, it just adds to your confusion.
But, but, but, HOPE AND CHANGE. He wanted it and said he would fix the country's problems. He had full D support for TWO YEARS and has done nothing other than point fingers at the Rs for the "mess" he inherited.

One thing about finger pointing, when you point your finger at others, there are 3 more pointing right back at you.

STILL, I lived FAR better under Bush than I am under O.

That is all in your head.

The MESS is now and today.

The MESS is now 2+ years old. When are you going to acknowledge that this is Obamas watch, we handed the man 800 BILLION dollars to fix your so called mess and things have become worse.

AT NO TIME DURING THE BUSH YEARS WAS ANYTHING AS BAD AS IT IS TODAY APRIL 17, 2011 ON OBAMAS WATCH.

This mess TODAY, is owned by Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

We are heading into a double dip recession and it has ALL happened under the control of the demnuts since 2007.

When Obama hits 4% unemployment and has 54 consecutive months of job growth then come back a whine to me some more about how poor bubba jr inherited something.

If he could not handle the job then why did he take it? Too much for the man who has zero accomplishments as a politician and leader?


I do not see any personal hate towards Obama. I do see people highly upset for what the man has and is doing to our country.

He is in way over his head and the country is suffering for it.

His daily mistakes, poor decisions and anti American ideals is hurting our country.

The next President in 2013 will inherited far worse then your boy did in 2009. Obama is spending us into bankruptcy and we have nothing to show for it.

OBAMA NEEDS TO GIVE US TAX PAYERS (The ones who actually pay) OUR 800 BILLION BACK.

The worst political mistake in American history was the election of Obama who will go down in history as the worst ever by the time he is done destroying our country.

On the bright side I see him as a gift, his horrific record, mistakes and lack of leadership will end liberalism in America and that is a fantastic thing.

What has the man done besides take up space in our WH, divided, weaken and financially destroyed our country?


We need a leader, not a weak arrogant mistake a day person who cannot make a sound decision to save his butt.

"A Liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn't own."

Government can stimulate the economy by printing money. That leads to inflation but the government can put the money directly where it needs it.

Government can cut taxes. That leads to deficits which leads to inflation. The wealthy get the money and put it where they choose.

Increasing government spending without increasing revenues creates deficits.

Republicans believe in trickle down economics. They are at the top of the pyramid and take a disproportionate amount of the income. Republicans favor lower taxes.

Dems believe in raising taxes, at least on the high income earners to offset spending costs.

Both parties spend money we do not have and neither have the guts or common sense to cut spending on defense.

Respect is earned, not arbitrally given. So far he has done NOTHING to earn my respect.


AFA a woman being President? Heck, I would have voted for Hillary over Obama. She's intelligent, worldly, savy on foreign affairs and relations, up to date on economic and defense issues. Maybe it's time to give a woman a chance, obviously the men haven't done a worthy job.

Why do we act like Obama is the worst thing that has ever happened to the USA?

Because it proves our BLIND STUPIDITY to the world for electing someone like Obama! A nobody with a questionable background who makes pretty speeches, has the mindless masses chanting "Hope and Change! Yes We Can!", has newspapers describing how his physique looks while he is on vacation, and has news commentators talking about thrills and tingles? No wonder America is no longer a respected world power. But that's part of the plan, isn't it?

I respect Barack Obama. Obama achieved an almost unimaginable victory in winning the presidency against very long odds. I and 70% of other Americans approved of him on Inauguration Day.

But he is using his victory in a persistent campaign to dismantle the fundamental sources of American greatness and exceptionalism. His generalship of the war on prosperity, that is what I hate.

And for the record, in the 2008 primary campaign I actively promoted the belief that Hillary would be less damaging to the country than Edwards or Obama.

His policies alone present ample basis for strong feelings.

Why? Because he IS the worst thing that has ever happened to us. His ideology is hard core Marxist/Leninist and his goals and agenda is to create a tyrannical society modeled after the old Soviet Union. Up until now, sorry to say, he has done a pretty damn good job of that.
