Sorry, but you are wrong. He already knew that the 47% were going to vote Democrat because of their socialistic policies. If the GOP stood for the same thing then they would just be Democrats themselves. Is that what we want a one party system? Well, there are many conservatives in this country that don't agree with the Dem's policies. I believe that number is going to grow as people start waking up that we can't continue down this line of government freebies vs working for a living.

The TRANSCRIPT of what he actually said has been posted. He never said what you claim. It's sad you feel the need to lie so blatantly with the proof of it just a few posts back.

Post #77 proves you are lying.

Disagree. I'm young, single, black woman. Full time job, not any type of assistance/welfare and I just came back from a vacation traveling overseas.

I didn't fared the worst.

Political leanings aside, it is something both sides are guilty of. Negative economic indicators=the other guy's fault. Positive indicator=that's all me.

Having said that, we are 5 years into the Obama presidency, he should have started taking ownership of the economy and foreign policy by now.
He did. A lot of people like you just didn't like the way he did it.

We are very happy for you then.

But your single anecdote is not evidence of a trend.

Black unemployment jumped to 13% recently. Certainly you care about all those who unfortunately don't have jobs?

He did? When did that happen?

* Black unemployment jumps to 13%
* More people on government aid than ever
* Unemployment has only dropped .5%
* A record number of people leave the workforce

Economically, Could Obama Be America's Worst President

The recession ended four years ago, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.* So Obamanomics has had plenty of time to produce a solid recovery.* In fact, since the American historical record is the worse the recession, the stronger the recovery, Obama should have had an easy time producing a booming recovery by now.

Obviously what they should have done is vote for Romeny who made the comments that he didn't represent the 47% of the people (the ones using assistance), and Ryans budget that would have completed elimiated help for those who needed it most. Obviously the ones that voted for Obama were the smart ones because they knew how shafted they would get if Romney won.

It's like being a patient in a hospital with a team (Obama) that's trying things to make the patient (people in economic distress) better. Sometimes it turns out to be a good idea, sometimes a bad idea. The alternative team (Romney) wants to throw these people into the street and wash their hands of them to help patients that don't need as much help.
Thank you! As a millennial Obama may not have finished the job but at least he wants to keep going with the job while Romney wanted to screw the job and tear the whole thing down and leave the affected completely SOL.
