Do you want premission to vote Republican too? Has your life been an utter fail? If it has, you too have my blessing to blame Obama and vote R. If, however, you have been winning -- you have to give credit where credit's due -- vote O.

I can't vote this time, because I don't turn 18 until 2013, but even if I could vote I certainly wouldn't need yours, or anyone else's permission to vote R.

You still haven't answered this post yet. Please, enlighten me.

Well I dont fast track yes men, I fire them. I want people to work for me that can think for themself

Politicians are great at taking credit where credit isn't due. It reminds my of the French exclaiming the triumph of the Millau Bridge... which was engineered and designed by the Brits. It's all about perception and Obama will be a legend in his mind.

If anyone was been "winning" it isn't because of Obama, it's in spite of him. He must be rolling that technology has outpaced his regulating. Just the fact that we have doubled oil production has given him incentive to block the pipeline. If you really want a fail let's talk about any company with SOL in their name. Yes, that green energy fiasco rearing it's ugly head and emptying wallets all in the name of ideologic stupidity. Has Obama ever had an idea he didn't like? Why did he hire a team of financial wizards, only to ignore their reccomendations?


Winning?

He's brought no success, that's not Why we fear him. It's not just Republicans who should be afraid, he is wrecking our American heritage, destroying the work ethic mentality brought to this country by our fore fathers, and making a mockery of our laws and constitution. If you consider it a success whenever Barry makes an end-run around congress to pass a law or appoint a new Czar, then you celebrating the decline of the checks and balances that protect us from our government.

That's fear talking, shy. Knock that off and embrace success.

In the 8 years bush was in office he increased the debt by a little over 8% per year. Which certainly sucks, however, Obama is currently increasing the debt by almost 16% per year.
