I still support president Obama's policies even if they are too far to the right. I wanted a Government supported health care or insurance option. Instead I got a give away to the private sector insurance industry. I wanted us out of Iraq and Afghanistan within six months and we are still there. I wanted to see the restoration of the 1950's income tax structure and we still have a regressive system.

Even with these problems I still support President Obama because he is far, far better then the bumbling McCain or the fool Palin.

How about being honest, and not supporting either, and let's vote in some new blood in 2012? This time, lets try to research exactly who it is we are voting for.

It's a nice thought but the 2-party system has a stranglehold on American politics and probably will for the foreseeable future. Until it changes, I'll just vote the lesser of 2 evils.

Most times it comes down to that, but a lesser evil then 0bama must exist in the Democratic Party, just as a better choice then McCain or Palin exist in the Republican Party.

Most of the honorable republicans left town, so currently there are only a few "D's" to pick from. Unless Bernie Sanders (S) and Ron Paul (L) form a outsiders party, the only game in town will be those picked by the D's & R's corporate masters.

I will help reelect Obama because there are no Republicans available to do the job.

NO ONE voted for the change obama is trying to implement.

He masked his intentions well.
With the capable assistance of a sychophantic mainstream media.
