Capitalism is dead, baby. And Obama has nothing to do with it.

Those who give Barack Obama a free pass because of what they perceive to be problems he didn't create are the very same people who don't understand what good leadership means, or recognize good leadership when it exists. Indeed, lots of variables are outside of Obama's control, but where his failures are most obvious are his reactions (or lack thereof) to to the situation that he was handed.

Yea its all Obama's fault....

Whatever happened to personal responsibility? People are poor because of their own choices in life. Obama has nothing to do with it.

Obama. he mind controls Congress now. That's his secret. He forces Republicans and Democrats to use the debt ceiling as political bargainning chi.... oh I can't type this anymore. It such an untruth., it's not even funny trying to make it funny. Obama didn't make the S&P downgrade us. At least, if you want to blame someone, blame them for something they were actually responsible for. Blame the idiots in Congress.

True for smart people raised in middle-class+ families. Less fortunate people depend on the state a lot more. But Obama couldn't really do much in a short-term to help them.

I agree-

Look at the situation dealt to the following-

Washington
Madison
Jefferson
Lincoln
FDR
Nixon
Reagan
Bush II


Did any of them whine about the situation in which America was "left" to them? No. They actually formulated policy, took responsibility and action to help the nation.

Obama is more concerned about HIMSELF and blaming others for his personal failures. This tactic is a strategy of losers in the world and is that antithesis of what we consider to be "presidential" behavior. Obama is petulent, paranoid, ineffectual, and divisive in a situation in which we need an actual competent leader. If this man was white, the nation would be calling for his impeachment. The only thing that saves him is the refuge of "racism" when is ineptitude is exposed.

Just a few more months and the most incompetent president in US history will be a thing of the past. Obama will have cured a generation of liberalism and has shown how damaging that philosophy, when put into action, can be for the nation.
