This President leaves me with no hope at all.

You see since Obama has become our President, who ran on a campaign of Hope and Change yes we can, and has diluted so many very good friends and acquaintainces. With that catch phrase, because nothing about him, says good change at all.

In the short time that this Man has become our President, i know 15 very good loyal hard working Americans, who have lost their jobs. Most middleaged, and have been on their jobs some for over 25 years. You begin to think with that loyalty, and the number of years you have worked for one company, that your safe.
This has upset me very much people i know who live thruout the US have lost their jobs, and some also a home. It does not become reality to anyone, unless you know someone who is living the nitemare. And i do, too many, and it becomes depressing. You see inspite of what we are being told about jobs, where the hell are they. These people some a year later, have not found a job to replace the one that they had. Unfair you say, so do i, guess what these employess found out these loyal employess, that not one person is indispensible, that any one of you can lose your job at anytime, but don't expect an explanation, for some of these Men, they were let go.
So no while i remember quite well Obama's words over and over again in my head of a new era of Hope and Change, i want to cry. Seeing people that you love and even some you don't know that well, hurts like hell. So i ask you, what change?

If it weren't for those darned Republicans, we'd have a balanced budget passed this week.
I'm laughing so hard it hurts. What a joke! Those "darned" Republicans agreed to raise the debt ceiling, if Obama would stop spending, and he said no.

I am one of those people that got hit with Obama's "change". And it sucks bad. I want it changed back. I want a job, I want my family to get there house back, I want to be able to pay for the things that we could afford, pre-Obama.I want my kids to not have to live in fear of already being in debt, and they aren't old enough to work yet.I want to know that someday, my hubby can retire. Instead of work until he is dead. In 2012, it is time for a real change.

I also like a President, who when he tells the American People he is going to bring to us great HOPE AND CHANGE, that he actually means it, not just saying a catch phrase, that sheeple buy into?

Think we are done, think agin, we are going to get worse as an economy, and some of you your biggest assets, your home, value, what value, it is going down, and may for at least 2 more years, what part of great change is that. Is this really an economy most of you consider good, because if you do, your not living in the real world.

A balanced budget amendment is a stupid idea, even Reagans former advisors say so.

Why didn't President Bush repeal his tax cuts and help the budget?

Remember, aren't Republicans the party of "blame the ones in power" for the problem?

And he said he would stop some spending, 83% of his suggested budget came from cuts in spending, with 17% in revenue increases from loop hole closings.

Yet Republicans still said no, and I think its going to be the ruin of the elephants chance to win next year.

I like he was going to cut the national debt in half in his first term but has added Trillions more.
