I will be voting for Obama again. I am willing to give him another chance and I am a white woman with a education that lets me know that it takes time and togetherness to get it done.

Considering Obama spent his first two years with control of the house and the senate he should have made a lot of headway. Maybe it's the Democrats that wanted to see a black president fail. They didn't even write a budget. They just gave him free reign to hang himself.

But I digress....when is the last time the economy was in this bad a shape due to a sitting Presidents policies?

That's right....it was Carter! That's why he was challenged.

My point is, who do you see as a viable candidate from the left?
More importantly, who is a viable candidate from the right?

If you call Democrats "stupid", then Republicans are stupid squared.

Or maybe just downright stoopid?

He has drove Democrats nuts with his policy of appeasement to Republicans. He tried to be conciliatory and Republicans spit in the mans face.

Many begin to wonder just who's side President Obama is on, the side who wants to repair the damage left over from Bush, or the side intent on enriching the top 10% while telling the rest of the country to go to Hell?

Which policies of appeasement might those be?

He starts his daily speech talking about bipartisanship yet he can't bring himself to end one without telling anyone that disagrees with him to get in the back of the bus. He (or his crew) have called the Tea Party members terrorists while he scares the elderly by saying they may not get their next SS check.

Being from the party of Barney Frank and the Fanny Freddy clan I'm not surprised he has not repaired the damage they did. It was part of their plan. I think they just thought it would take longer for the country to realize they were being told to go to hell. Apparently there are a few that still don't get it but that number is getting smaller by the day.

And who would the Democrats replace Obama with, another corporate puppet like Hillary?

Default don't jump to conclusions. listen and find out for yourself.

I didn't say this country was racist, I said the republican leadership is a racist group of old white guys that can't and won't help the middle class. they are out for themselves and they hate that Obama is black. Have you not listened to the republican's since he started running. They have tried to destroy him for no other reason but his color. They didn't treat Clinton like this or the dumbest man alive-bush . They like there old time politics. Obama is trying to fix what the crazy old asses messed up. Give the man a chance. I know more about racism than i wish i did. I grew up with it. I live with it every day of my life. the old southern party is a hard one to crack. I am a mixed woman who looks white and married to a black man and has two beautiful boys that are mixed just like Obama and if you have never been to Florida and lived in it then you have no idea what your talking about. Those old geysers think it is OK to call children the N word, they think it is ok to beat up a woman because she is outside her race. Give me a break. If you think that racism is not a problem then lets see how you would feel if they took the projects and moved them next door too you. Lets see how you would feel if your family member lost his job to a Mexican. You have no idea how i feel..I want Obama to win and do the right thing. they want him to fail and they said they did. They didn't get the tea party after bush for blowing up government. He expanded it , made it worse. study the government and the people you vote for and find out just how underhanded they can be.

At this point, 14 months out from the election, all this is just hooting in the dark and a total waste of time, energy and emotion.

So typical...

"Bush is not responsible for all of the horrible messes he created."

9/11 = Clinton's fault
Iraq = Dems fault
Now, even the 2008 recession is Clinton's fault. But it's Obama's fault that the economy hasn't rebounded.
