I hate his AGENDA; his idea of a fundamental transformation of America.
That's all.

BTW.....I didn't like Bush's 2 terms either and never voted for him....either time he ran!
I opposed going into Iraq and see Afghaniland as a continuation of a quagmire we never had business getting into!
His daddy's agenda either! Mr. "Read my lips."
But, I do miss Reagan's character......since I haven't seen anything quite like it, ever since.
Reagan's CHARACTER? You have to be a man of class, dignity, thoughtfulness and coward to be known as a man of "character". Reagan was a pitiful, spiteful wuss who quite frankly, ruined the United States in too many ways.

Name all those ways, you refer to, please?
ALL of 'em.

I look forward to your reply since America was in such "horrible" shape and still is, because of him.
We were sooooo RUINED, weren't we?

Besides, I thought it was ALL Bush's fault, right?

‘Going Galt’: Everyone’s Doing It!

Who exactly is thinking about Going Galt? Lisa Schifferen at The Corner has the rundown:
The doctors, lawyers, engineers, executives, serious small-business owners, top salespeople, and other professionals and entrepreneurs who make this country run work considerably harder than pretty much anyone else (including most of the chattering class, and all politicians). They are not robber barons, or trust-fund babies, or plutocrats, or even celebrities. They are mostly the meritocrats who worked hard in high school and got into the better colleges and grad schools, where they studied while others partied. They pushed through grueling hours and unpleasant “up or out” policies in their twenties and thirties at top law firms, banks, hospitals, and businesses to earn salaries in the solid six figures (or low seven) today — in their peak earning years. Their work ethic is prodigious, and . . . in their spare time they sit on the boards of most of the complex charities and arts institutions that provide aid and pay for culture in America. No group of people contribute more to their community. And now the president, who followed a path sort of like that, and who claims that his wife’s former six-figure income was a result of precisely such qualifications and efforts, is demonizing them. More problematically, he is penalizing their success and giving them very clear incentives to ratchet back on productivity.

You sound like a Pioneer, good for you. Can you expound on this so others may be able to participate.

Exactly. The productive are the enemies of Obama, as they tend to not need his "treats" and "freebies" to exist. Those that rely upon the charity of the government for thier survival will always be Obama supporters. Those who can stand on thier own two feet will tend to not be Obama supporters.

Producer, Libertarian and proud of both. I consider both the democrat and republican parties to be both parasitic as both just want more goverment and both believe in bleeding the country dry.

And apparently y'all still have time to sit around on City-Data and whine about Obama all day...Even with your prestigious jobs and seven-figure salaries---how do you find the time?

We cut back on our productivity, remember?
