It is mainly because the two party system is failing the Republic.


is this a record ?
the second response already has an obama leg-humper blaming it on Bush ?

the winds are changing, now they at least recognize how terrible obama is, they just cant make themselves admit how huge a disaster he is...

That's pretty much the truth, he got the milk for free. Just like the left likes it. Be warned though, as we get closer to 2014 Obama will start telling them what they want to hear again knowing full well he will do more of the same. Nothing. The only thing this president is doing is fundraising to get ready for it. Ok so what will we hear?

Promises?
Fear mongering?

Take your pick.

I see little difference between the R's and D's when it comes to stuff like this.

My prediction however is that there is going to be a big bad sh*tstorm when Obamacare implements and that much of the energy will be aimed at defending it.

You cannot make a huge legislative change like Obamacare and not have some problems...and those will be jumped on by the republicans for political gain....just like the dems will point to success stories.

Exactly but then again, when a president continues to demand more tax revenue from the people then that could make people's lives worse. So Obama campaigned on raising taxes on small businesses which does effect those people who in turn laid people off or are not hiring. Do you think that counts? Of course it does. You are just to brain dead to connect the dots on how a money grubbing president has made it worse.

Every time a person makes the argument you make, they always leave out the fact that the huge cut in government jobs is what has hurt minority employment the most.

As the Church Lady would say....

Oh yes, the mainstream media would like to ignore raising taxes hurts the economy. Oh and about that cut in government spending... Obama doesn't seem to care about cuts in spending as he globe trots to Africa to the tune of $60 to $100 million?

While the White House tours remain closed.

You just whined that half the country doesn't pay enough in taxes, no you are crying that Obama wants to raise taxes



This epitomizes the stupidity of the tea party
