American liberals/leftists/assorted marxists see me and most of america as the problem. Oh crap.
That's OK, there are more of us, than there are of them. Next November, we will get rid of this guy and be on the upswing. Everyone just has to hang in there. We also need to shake the garbage out of the Senate.

Why in the world would any rational person want four more years of this? I would think that even liberals would want a strong economy, low unemployment, and someone to address our debt. Yet, most liberals seem to really like what Obama is doing.

Why four more years of this?
No, I will do all I can to get rid of the problem, Tea Baggers.

The corporations and banksters would be writing the laws of the land to suit themselves and they'd then be prompted by the Republicans, just like they did under the Bush administration.

Ideally, it would be great to have two intelligent presidential candidates running against each other that we could trust to do right by the nation regardless of which one won, but that hasn't happened in a very long time.
You need to get out a little more. Not every conservative is hard line christian.

And how would it be different from what happened in 2008. All of a sudden the Dems didn't give a second thought to the economy. They were too busy trying to pass govt run health care, repealing don't ask, don't tell, ramping up the EPA, pushing their environmental agenda.

I am so sick of single issue voters. They want gay rights, so they're willing to destroy this country's economy because of leftie policies. But, by gosh, they can marry their partner and call it a marriage.

The republicans big baby attitudes with their "our way or no way" stances is ruining the country and most american people are sick of it. 2012 is looking like the GOP is going to get steamrolled. If we can get a solid democratic congress, the tea party nuts gone and "real" conservatives back in, I'm sure things will progress very quickly for the better.
And by "better" you mean a double A rating? A total nanny state? 25% unemployment? Inflation through the roof?

2010 showed most people were NOT sick of "it". The steamrolling in 2012 will be over the Dems. A more complete job wasn't done in 2010 because there are only so many seats up in the Senate.
