I expect that Obama's policies will get us out of the middle east (except, unfortunately, for Isreal), the demands of the construction industry will increase manufacturing, the restored incomes will be spent on consumer goods and way fewer people will be unemployed.

The result will be an overwhelming vote for the Democrats and a total route of the Republicans. The result after 8 years of Democratic control of the government will be a secure and prosperous United States that will be able to cut excess military spending and pay attention to our own house and let the rest of the world go to hell in its own hand basket.

It's WORSE right now with the (D)s in complete control of Washington DC than it was at any point during the Bush Administration. The worst times during the Bush Admin were when the (D)s ran Congress since January 2007. The unemployment rate is now 9.5% officially, with the real number closer to 17%. By the time the bottom hits, it's very likely that the official unemployment number will be 12% or higher. On top of this, a minimum wage hike is scheduled for the end of this month. This will wipe out many lower end positions.

If the (D)s were paid to destroy America intentionally, they could not do a better job than they are doing right now.

Works out great when you get to decide all the rules and control everything that happens doesn't it?

Conservatives don't bail out companies; if you don't believe me, look up how Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann and Mike Pence voted on the TARP bill in the Fall of 2008.

Bush was a social conservative and, to his credit, he cut taxes and appointed excellent SCOTUS judges. In terms of spending, though, he was basically a moderate Democrat (along the lines of Even Bayh, who even voted down some of W's budget proposals). Bush wasn't great, but I'd take him over Gore and Kerry any day.

It's Obama and the (D) party that will destroy America. They have wasted Trillions of Dollars since January of 2009 and it has only made things WORSE. The stimulus was a waste of $ 787 Billion + interest and it takes money away from productive areas of the Economy. They wasted a couple hundred billion on their foreclosure relief plan which has failed.

Everything liberals (including liberal Republicans) touch, turns to s***. Just look at the states and cities they have run into the ground: California, NY, NJ, Michigan, New Orleans, Baltimore, etc. The left brought California, a formerly great state, to its knees. It may never return to its once great status.

The 2009 deficit was predicted to be around $ 600 Billion on Inauguration day. It's now going to break $ 2 Trillion b/c of Obama and the (D)s in Congress. It's Obama and the (D) party that wants Cap and Trade, that will destroy our Economy and cause massive job losses and increases in energy prices. It's Obama and the (D) party that is trying to takeover our Healthcare system, although it is the world leader (despite what leftists say).

This Administration is spending so much, that they will have to print the money to make up for the difference. This will dilute the value of existing US Dollars; to what extent we do not know yet, but it could be severe.

Look at the numbers. We have lost more than 2.5 million jobs since Obama took office despite the Trillions he has wasted. He promotes policies that HURT the Economy and he's doing it on purpose (b/c it's hard for me to believe he's dumb enough to think these policies will help the Economy). China and other countries are losing faith in the US Dollar as a reserve currency. We're being laughed at by Sarkozy and the EU President said we're on a path to hell. I hope you realize how serious this situation is and that the Democrats are causing it.
Shame on you for using logic intelligence and facts in your arguments!

You must be a CONSERVATIVE

8 years of a dem controlled WH and congress and we wont have a country left. ( Current situation is the dems fault, 2 1/2 years controlling congress and people will not forget that )

You are joking right?

Manufacturing of what? Obama does not want manufacturing jobs?
Restored incomes under Obama? What? He does not want you to make much money and if you do he wants to take it away from you and hand it to the lower end.

Secure? Do you mean a secure country under democratic control? I hope you are joking because Obama wants to cut our MUCH NEEDED military down to nothing.
With the world the way it is we need MORE spending on our defense not less.

So far to me the Obama policies and this lib controlled congress is showing everyone they cannot handle money and have destroy jobs in America quickly.

For me, if Obama and this congress keeps it up people will dump them as the majority of America is to the center of right and do not like massive spending like Obama is doing, cutting down our needed military-defense and surely do not like the open borders and illegal situation the dems seem to love.

It was the right of center folks to gave Obama the chance for hope and change and they will take it away from him and the dem congress if this continues.

I see Obama costing many dems seats soon.

Biggest mistake in American history electing Obama and the dem congress will pay the price for it.

And today they are showing that Obama is sending stimulus money in large numbers to those areas who voted for him and scamming those areas who did not.

Shows what kind of person he is, he is trying to put money into the areas he knows voted for him. Nothing like using taxpayer money to better yourself like the scam artist is.

His version of "change" is no longer welcome here. Go away Barry go back to Chicago, Indonesia, Honolulu, Kenya or wherever it is you came from. He should go back to being a "community organizer" because he obviously can't handle being president of anything more powerful then a civic association.

How right you are.

He is not a leader, he is not a man of his word, he has no plan or clue and has hurt this country beyond repair in many aspects.

Change, the only change Obama has to offer is the change in your pocket that is left after he steals all of the rest of your hard earned money.

He cannot steal from those who are already stealing from us so he is wanting the rest of us WORKING people to pay for those bums who wont work.
