Why would the republicans need to sabotage Obama when he has sabotaged the economy and foreign relations?

Not that the status quo republicans would be different, except Ron Paul. Just different elite benefiting from the manipulation of our federal government all at the expense of the working middle and lower class. People need to wake up.
Down size the costly and ineffective federal government and put control into the local level where at least the peoples voice has some effectiveness.

Sabotage: The Story Behind the Republican Party's Top Priority
Even though he got EVERYTHING he wanted in his first 2 years in office?

Got his stimulus, obamacare, Dodd-frank...a very successful legislative term for Congress and obama.

See, we won't LET the Left/dems/obama forget all his great legislative "victories".

Shouldn't you be applauding them?

Nothing wrong with that. Was not the objective of the allies in WW2 to defeat Hitler? All "good things" could happen after that, but not until that objective was completed.

Obama is an impediment to economic recovery and of course removing him from the Oval Office should be a main priority for the sake of the nation.

I can only imagine how a McCain/Palin administration would have done. We would have 40% plus unemployment and be at war with Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Iran with no hope of an end.

If we elect any of the current Republican candidates war with Iran is a certainty. "Winning" that war is not so certain. A Republican win in 2012 would result in the same situation and the complete moral and economic bankruptcy of our country.

Much, much better than this failed administration. For starters, NO $1+ Trillion dollar stimulus, taken out of the private sector. For seconds, NO disastrous multi-trillion dollar obamacare.

Obama has LOST the middle east to the radicals. Great "smart" power there.

Well, I just heard a stampede. Now, who are we going to fill those empty buildings...?

Vote for something other than a D or an R. They haven't done anything for you in the last 50 years and they won't do anything for you in the future. We voters can play politics, too!

like obama and the democrats were serving the american populace? I do remember that more than 50% of the population did not want obamacare, and look what we have now.

hypocricy. if what is good for the goose, it is also good for the gander.

The Democrats mistake in Health Care was including the existing Insurance and Drug companies instead of nationalizing the entire industry and running it as Universal Care system without the cost of executive salaries and monopoly profits.

The Middle East was never ours to own or control. We are only there to protect Israel and the Saudi Royal family. It is only an excuse to continue to borrow money to fund socialized industry and keep the public's mind off how efficiently they have been robbed.

Default for starters, the call to sabotage Obama makes perfect sense as he destroys America before our eyes

Is it that difficult to understand?

Obama has demonstrated monumental incomptence and put our country in danger.

He has gired communists and terrorists to advise him in the form of Dorn and Van Jones, etc. Obama has hired outer fringe regulators like Cass sunstein. Obama is circumventing the legislative process to impose his will while discarding the representives elected by the people.

Obama said he would never pass Obamacare by huclear option and yet he did. Obama sabotaged the American people when he stood by and heard Pelosi say 'we would have to pass obamacare to see what's in it". That singular most blatant condescending disrespectful statement since Marie Anntoinette said 'let them eat cake', went unchallenged by Obama.

His financial advisors who railed against accusations that Freddie and Fannie were in trouble are still in power and directing our economy headed by a tax cheat who couldn't master Turbo Tax.

Obama has begun a class warfare strategy that equates to the accusation of Repubs trying to sabotage Obama.

Obama sat on his hands during the Gulf oil spill and then his DOJ defied orders to resume drilling which effectively sabotaged jobs in the region. While this was occurring Obama loaned million to Brazil's Petrobras for deep water drilling.

Obama, given the gift of hindsight, has proclaimed his investment in Solyndra had been a good idea. Half a billion$$$$ in taxpayer money lost as Obama sabotaged the American taxpayer.

When Hoffa told union memebrs to 'take out' political enemies just before obama stepped up to the podium, Obama gave the signal for the violence to begin when he allowed Hoffa's call to violence to go unaddressed.
Obama has signaled the violence now seen carried out in the the cities by flash mobs consisting of leftist organizations, unions and socialist rabble.

[LEFT][SIZE=3]"If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,'......Obama speech[/SIZE][/LEFT]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
Strauss-Kahn says advanced countries would see violent civil unrest if elite continue to exploit financial chaos for their own ends ---- this is exactly what the political elite, headed by Obama, are doing. All the while obama spews class warfare and concern for the poor he stacks his treasury dept with alum from Goldman Sachs....

Such a divisive president with demonstrated poor judgement and twisted words deserves to be a one term president who needs to be reined in before he does more damage and 'rewrites our history' as advocated by MO.

Reading comprehension: a serious problem for Republicans and conservatives.

The point here is that the R's are openly sabotaging the President. I wrote that any one who does this is unfit for office and that they are there to serve the public. I didn't pick a side. My criticism is for all of politics. I encouraged everyone to vote independent as a result.

As for Obama's health care plan, the majority of people wanted it to go further and they still do. If your opposition to Obama means you justify sabotage of political opponents, then I thank God you don't hold public office.
