Obama was the best choice. He hasn't been a great president that I would have liked to see. But he hasn't really been a bad president. Nobody here takes you righties seriously. The man had been condemned by you the day he announced he was running.

Sure.

He had dealt with a incredibly challenging economic situation when he came into power, he had a better grasp of what the military required (not MORE ships because OMG we have less ships now!) , Romneys repeated gafes that made Biden look good in comparison (and thats impressive), Romneys refusal to provide more then a couple years of taxes, etc etc. Romneys vice presidential candidates economics plan-that was hogwash.

Theres really a long list.

As for your claim that Romney would have started many wars, that is your opinion, not a fact.
I'm pretty sure he knows that, as he had a lot of work to do when he took over a broken economy. But, the deficit has decreased during Obama's term and that is something he has more control over than the debt. In addition, the US has had national debt for centuries. It began exploding in 1982 at a breathtaking pace under guess who?

Obama won...your guy didn't.

Smarten up and get over it.

I don't need to deflect...I voted for the winner.

How's that Libya thing working out for you?

Syria hasn't been a diplomatic wonder either.

So you admit that a child could have beaten the Republican front runner?

They have no idea what they are talking about. Typically lib rambling. Who could possibly be worse than Obama. Carter maybe?
