Nope. Obama is about 10 times a better President than Romney. We don't need anymore wars or tax cuts for the 1%.

Guess what Romney did not win the election, POOR FRIGGIN US. Obama did, and the Country is going to chit, and fast. Infact the whole Country on a whole saw a weak leader, and everyone, is stepping all over us.

The Country on a whole is a friggin mess. Romney could run circles all over the clown in the W.H. who seems to only have time for fundraising in times of criris.

So when are the Libertarians gonna run a viable alternative. While we are on the subject of honesty may I ask why it is the two Pauls (both Libertarians) are pretending to be Republicans, couldn't have anything to do with it being the only way to be elected could it? If the Libertarians had the answer they would not have to pretend to be something they are not and they would win on their own merits.

Mitt Rmoney was so incompetent that he believed he own skewed internal polling data he really believed based on the insane skewed polling conspiracy that he was unskewing his internal polling data that showed he was going to win states he didn't have a chance to win.

Look it is one thing to go out to the general public and spout insane conservative conspiracy theories about skewed polls, it is another to actually believe that insane stuff internally in your campaign.

And he and his campaign did believe that all the polling companies were in a grand grand conspiracy to show President Obama winning by on purpose polling more Democrats.

To me for believing that insane conspiracy and acting on it disqualifies him fom ever being President. Plus Mitt Rmoney was a huge liar.

Say what you will about McCain at least he didn't lie like Mitt Rmoney, who ran out right dishonest campaign.

That was a lot of speculation, but devoid of facts. Let us review the facts-

1. Obama never ran a business or government.

2. Obama had a failed four year presidency, rife with scandal, dismal economy, and weak foreign policy.

3. Romney was a successful governor.

4. Romeny was a successful businessman.

5. Romney did promote fiscal conservative measures. Do you support the massive spending of Obama?

6. Romeny supported lower taxes. Do you like higher taxes?

7. Romney supported expansion of dometic energy exploration on federal lands. Do you like cheap energy?


There you have it- we had a competent leader against an incompetent incumbent POTUS. It was Reagan-Carter all over again. This time, however, Carter won and the nation has suffered.

What were you thinking when you actually thought that Obama would have been a good POTUS?

When Obama was "elected" he had a twinkle in his eye. He thought the masses would continue to swoon at his feet. Obama thought he was "elected" as a one man show.

To your first question, stop listening to the mainstream media and the propaganda spewed by the Establishment parties telling you who to vote for, and instead do your own research. Both parties suck! Both pander to corporate interests, both want to continue to wastefully spend on entitlements, and both only care about themselves as opposed to the we the people! As for the Pauls... I'm not sold on Rand, as he seems to much like an Establishment candidate. Ron indeed should have run as a Libertarian. At any rate, I guess things like adopting more of a non-interventionalist policy and quit policing the world, ending the Patriot Act, and all of the other crap that goes along with it, auditing the fed, ending bailouts, ending the failed war on drugs that only feeds the Prison Industrial Complex.. just to name a few is just crazy, huh?

Theres really a long list.



He had dealt with a incredibly challenging economic situation when he came into power and failed miserably.

Edward Lazear: The Worst Economic Recovery in History - WSJ


Economically, Could Obama Be America's Worst President? - Forbes


Obama has a grasp on the military? That one could be used in a lounge stand up act. His asinine rules of engagement in Afghanistan have made our troops sitting ducks.


Romney's repeated gaffes? If the media didn't protect Obama you'd know how much of a moron he really is.

It's also always good to insult special needs children on National TV......



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HOBTUCv4o0


Then there are the gaffes that really matter such as Obama's endless foreign policy blunders but pay no attention to that man behind the curtain because Romney actually transported a dog in a dog crate on the roof of a car!!!!! The horror!!!!!!!!!!!!



Romney's vice presidential candidate's economics plan-that was hogwash?

Please explain in detail specifically why Ryan's plan was hogwash and also comment on what economic policy Obama has come forward with that's better and explain in detail why it's better. I'll wait.

The people who hate President Obama and think he is the worst President have been wrong 100% about major events.
The people who just know President Obama is the worst got these things wrong.

The GWBush Iraq War that they cheerleaded. They were 100% wrong.

The GWBush tax cuts and impact on the economy that GWBush administration predicted and that were also wildly supported by These people. They were completely wrong.

The whole GWBush idea of War on terror, which then lead to the Patriot Act, homeland security, spying, GITMO, and GWBush made predictions about this war on terror and again these people loved all of those ideas and once again they were completely wrong.

Patriot Act they were wrong
GITMO they were wrong

Spying on Americans, they were wrong.

Torture they were wrong

These people also made a number of predictions about the Stimulus and fed QE's impact on the economy

They said we would have runaway inflation. Wrong

They said the dollar would collapse. Wrong

They said said no one would buy US government bonds. Wrong

They said the stock market would tank. Wrong

These people also made a number of predictions about the ACA health care law.

They said the law was in a death spiral. Wrong
They said no one would sign up. Wrong

They said no one would pay the premiums. Wrong

They said uninsured people weren't signing up. Wrong

They said it would be too expensive. Wrong

They said more people would lose insurance than gain it. Wrong

They said young people wouldn't sign up. Wrong n

They said there would be huge rate hikes next year. Wrong

The Obama haters also made predictions about the 2012 a Presidential election.

They believed this insane conspiracy theory that the polling companies were all in this plot to get President Obama re-elected and thus all the polling companies were on purpose polling more Democrats.


All of those fantasies were 100% wrong.

This lead them to unskew the polls and the unskewing polls all had Mitt Rmoney winning in a landslide.

This lead nearly every conservative pundit to perdict a Rmoney landslide victory.

All of those fantasies were 100% wrong.

The people who hate President Obama have no credibility. They are wrong about everything.


You can type "wrong" as many times as you like but it doesn't make you correct. I stopped reading after I noticed that you were wrong several times early on in the post. Would you care to comment on all of those "wrongs" that Obama continued and in some cases expanded? Right- didn't think so.......
