I believe in his book, Obama said he sought out Marxist professors.

Well, remember Hillary's "Phone call at 2 AM"? If this budget default has him completely flummoxed and nobody's listening to him, what happens if there's an even bigger crisis?
Talk about a White Knuckle Presidency.

Are they going to vote accordingly?

What makes you believe that? Did you read it or rely upon some radio host?

This article in the LA Times show what people are really thinking and not just thinking but how they;ve had to change their lifestyles since Obama became President.

~90% of Americans rate the economy negatively and 50% say it is "poor"
~Only 15% say they are getting ahead
~27% say they are falling behind
~54% have been forced to change their lifestyle and 60% of them are "angry"
~Support from liberal Democrats for Obamas jobs record has dropped from 57% to less than 1/3
~Overall strong disapprovers outnumber approvers by 2 to one
New polls confirm Obama's Democratic base crumbles - latimes.com

-The economy sucked before the last election

-I'm better off today then I was in 2008

-See above

-I drastically had to change my lifestyle prior to the last election (shutting down a 17 year old small construction company and laying off all my guys tends to have an effect on one's lifestyle)

-Obama has had nothing to do with my current employment, that was all me

-Sick of both sides

-My IRA lost half it's value prior to the last election, it's all back now and them some



I stopped complaining and pointing fingers years ago. I try to keep my mouth shut and focus on what I can do to better off ME. Seems to be working.

The ONLY way we can turn things around and get this country back on track is if we elect someone who has a clue....someone like Ron Paul.

I just posted the article because I wanted to remind people that many who seem to have at least some of their brain in good working order, who voted for Obama, are getting sick and tired of Obama being irresponsible.

Are you all fully aware that his most recent speech about the debt ceiling where he really just wants a blank check to go on spending your money like a drunken sailor used the word "balanced approach" seven times?? What a LIAR. IF he wanted to do the right thing, he'd ADMIT that he's been wrong and he'd propose cutting more than the Republicans have.
