Just be patient, and while you're waiting maybe try to learn something as to why the Obama Admin is doing what it's doing.
which are exactly the same things that were done the last 8 years.

*Yawn* Go back a couple of years and substitute the word "Obama" with "Bush".. Same Game..

Instead of engaging in partisan politics maybe the American people should come together and realize how badly we are being screwed by BOTH parties..

So what exactly is the change..
It may be impossible for many of you to get it but to draw a parallel: a building can be brought down in a matter of hours, and to expect anybody to rebuild it in a shorter time is simply being illogical. You don't see a difference, because that is the best excuse you've learned to live with.

Learn to keep your emotions aside and you just might gain a better perspective.

Well, their emotions are being worked by their instructors like a rented mule.

Great metaphor btw!

Real Life problems cant be fixed by government.
What I have learned is freedom at the cost of chains deserves a master.
The government is not my master and I refuse to be a slave to the state.
History is the best lesson to learn from and big government programs and spending doesnt solve anything.
Obama is teaching the old lines I have heard thru out history. Trust me, Trust Government, we will find a way to create money off the backs of working people. We say one thing and do another and most of all trust us with your money.
War on drugs, war on poverty, war on terrorism and or any other idealogy that believes you can fix social and economic differences with taxes and stealing from your paycheck is a doomed idealogy. I have benefited from a free mind, a free spirit, and a country that once believed in working for what you earned. Obama teaches if you work for what you earned you must be punished, taken down a notch and believes its his personal business. If government isnt done there they will just illegally wire tap my phones, my email, my personal life. Governent doesnt like people to be independent. Government doesnt like people to make it alone with out them. They think everyone needs to have the government give them something or nobody can do it alone. Not everyone is gifted with a bright mind, and not everyone is gifted to know how to spend and save. You can be the richest person tommorrow and waste it if your stupid. If your stupid and waste money on sneakers and not your rent why should I be punished and bail you out. If someone took on a house that you cant afford why should I bail them out. Obama and Bush have taught me something, if your irresponsible you are rewarded. If your company is run badly and cheats people we will bail you out. If you want anything we will just print money and who cares about the tax payer and the generations that will pay the debt.
That is what I have learned from Obama and Bush and this so called government.
If you are a responsible person who plays by the rules, who works and has a job and just tries to live his life, government is always finding new ways to ********* over.

This is all government, not just Obama's or governments under a D pres. St. Ron didnt do us any favors, either, and in fact started the present deficit ball rolling.

as for "problems cant be fixed by the government" -- that's a pat reply. A lot of people got rich(er) as a direct result of the Bush tax cuts, for instance . The Obama Admin is trying to fix the problems it inherited and avert the disaster that was heading our way. Just be patient.
