Did you even bother to read the OP??

He clearly states the reasons there - and I agree.

Why don't you take those blinders off, and look at the truth for a change?
Speaking of being blind to truth...how can you say Obama and the Democrats caused the crisis when the Republicans were in power for the 6 years leading up to it? That the previous administration wasted over a trillion dollars fighting in Iraq whil Bin Laden laughed at the stupidity of our inept leadership.

I know you're delusional, but seriously, blaming the Democrats for this crisis is pretty sad, as they had no power whatsoever from 2000-2006, which is when this crisis really began. Blame Carter and Clinton all you want, there's been just 12 years of Democratic control and 24+ years of Republican control since 1972.

That being said, both parties are stupid and are doing the wrong things to fix this country. We need more Libertarianism, not more Fascism (like the Right Wing wants) and not more Socialism.

If you're so smart, what do you propose we do to fix the economy?

There are hundreds of intentionally provacative anti-Obama threads posted on this forum each week...

Want to complain about them too? Or is your resentment one sided?

Exactly! That's like people saying that liberals are all anti-American. Just accept the fact that republicans and democrats have different ideology and political stances and MOVE ON! Sheesh!

As opposed to the democratic ideology where the power hungry dems can't wait to control every facet of this country.

This is so outrageously anti-American - it makes you gag to think these hypocrites sport American flags on their lapels, or constantly talk about patriotism.. and in the next breath pray for the failure of the desperate economic measures forced upon Obama by the horrendous mismanagement by his predecessor...

Bush and his Republican cabal created the economic mess we are in - that is clear...

Obama and the Democrats are trying to fix things and keep us from sinking into a depression...

What do the Republicans do?? They snipe, they criticize, they obstruct, they refused to lift a finger to fix the problem that they created...

I have confidence in the average American (not in the distorted sampling of nutcases on this forum however) - and I am SURE they will give Obama credit for working for our good - and will continue to support him - and that there will be a heavy price the Republicans will pay at the polls for their unforgiveable behavior.
The election propaganda fund ran out two months ago. Didn't you get the memo?

Dissent is extremely patriotic and thank God for it. The day Americans are afraid to point out the wrongs of their country, their government is the day we ceased to deserve our democracy and all it's freedoms. Let freedom ring and dissent rule. All Americans unite and take back their country from the corruption of today. It is time to unite!

One man's propaganda is another man's gospel truth...

There's a lot of truth in the OP.

I agree - many on the right-wing have been behaving very anti-American for the past few months...
I've posted here many times that I want President Obama to succeed. You want to go after me for something I said on this thread, fine. If I did something that bad I will take my lumps for it. If I crossed a line in that regard then so be it. Just don't accuse me of wanting the President to fail. I can produce plenty of posts where I said exactly the opposite. I can produce even more from other conservatives who have said the same thing. I have seen virtually none that wish for him to fail, so if they exist there can't be many. That makes the OP a troll. President Obama won because he deserved to win, and that has nothing to do with anything that anyone posted in this thread. Judge me by what I actually say all that you wish, but don't judge me based on assumptions, because you will be wrong.

I have made repeated complaints about the anti-Obama threads as well so what's your excuse?
