Whoa! So what you're saying is that you voted for all the other candidates because they were White & not because of their policies? As for the comment of 'you people', that's racist! As a 'black' American, everything affects us. Did you know the highest population that is affected by the economy is blacks? Regardless is we have degrees out the whahoo, we still feel the brunt of everything. And contrary to your belief, many African-Americans voted for Obama because we believed the message.. We, just like everyone else, had hope that things would change for the better.

Stop blaming the figurehead( and that's what our President is) and realize who REALLY has the power.. Congress. Those same people you vote into office who have & will continue to cut into education, healthcare & send every Americans jobs to Dubai because of their hands in corporate pockets. Since Obama was elected, it has been nothing but drama.. Tea Party( funny how when Bush was in office you never heard about them), Birthers & racism out the whazoo!

Right now, none of the supposed GOP candidates are worth the press their given. Even that woman from Iowa(who loves to changes American history to suit her purpose), isn't worth the mess she speaks. Atleast Obama tries & contrary to what people believe, he has tried. So, OP to answer your post, I would vote for Obama again. Atleast he isn't trying to take away my reproductive rights..

Ideologues are dangerous as can be witnessed by the Left still wanting to vote for a failed plan just because he is a Dem.

Considering the current non-choices the GOP is trotting out, the answer will probably be Yes.

And by the right voting for a Repub even though that person has no new ideas, plans or solutions.
There, balance is restored.

To an Obama fan the unemployment rate could be 19% or even 29% and they will still vote for him.

I would probably vote for Obama again. But I'm guessing that the unemployment rate will be around 8.3 percent.

One of the reasons the unemployment rate won't drop much is that the echo baby boom population will be between 19 and 22. There will be more young folks clogging up the job market.

One of the reasons the unemployment rate dropped so much under Clinton is that the baby bust generation hit working age status. Less young people were chasing more jobs.

Question is what new ideas, plans or ideas do the GOP candidates have to lower the unemployment rate? It is easy to be critical of the other guys, but when you have no viable alternatives to offer then it makes you a non-choice when to comes to voter consideration as an alternative.
