It is pretty pathetic but to blame Obama gives him serious credit for doing something that he has no power over and even if he did, he wouldn't know how to wield it.
So you are saying he is a goof. Why re elect him then?

I'll hold my nose but I'd sooner eat dirt than vote for Willard and His Nine Million Dollar Beach House.
Like the Obamas are not multi-millionaires!! The Obamas have nothing in common with you, and are just as arrogant as the next multi-millionaire. Don't kid yourself.

At least "Willard" made his in business, not by writing some lame-ass books and being installed as President by the likes of Soros, Mikey Moore, and their minions.

Give me a successful businessman over a community organizer every time. At least Romney has a track record and has had held real jobs.

Eleanora, I bet Obama's dog gets better treatment than you do.

If a Kennedy was running for office, would you NOT vote for him because of his mansion in Massachusetts?


You've got it all wrong.

Vote for Obama and you will be eating dirt. Hope you like it.

I think as Amemricans, we have gotten dupped, by Both sides. One is this, the other is that. Some think one is better, while others feel, the other side is better.

I feel as Americans, when the two sides can't set aside their partisian ways, and play their own games, that sucks for America. It really sucks for America now, that we have become the Welfare Nation.

Some feel that all that Obama is about right now, and his gay issue stance, and health care stance, and this and that, we are no closer to being a better moving along forward economy. We are at a stand still, and have been at this point now for way too long.

He is too bitter, and has to play his put the other guy down game, instead of coming up with his own solutions. Has to blame others, and poke fun at his opponet. Anything to take the heat off of himself. Truth his hiself, is a big freaking mess.

See, the point is, that Obama doesn't stand for anything right now.


He is only running on "a promise to raise taxes" and class warfare.


Who the Hell wants that kind of President?
Certainly not Osama Bin Ladin.

America elected an epic failure? How so? Because a President cannot control gasoline prices? No President has power over the prices we pay at the pump. Those are set by a combination of global oil prices, refining and transportation costs, regulations, and rules set by the oil companies themselves.
gasoline prices????


No, Obama is a failure for-
Not even responding to any of those points, the OP was linking to a page about Obama's "failure" to control gas prices. Attacking Obama for anything else should be reserved for any of the thousands of threads for any one of those points.

Good.

And a device to make the Middle Class richer too.


How's 8.5% unemployment under Obama working out for you and your community?

This time it did suck, because we did get a rather moderate Democrat, however, CLinton was pretty good for America.

I worked on a base where one man had his hand blown off and a few days later a 22 year old junior officer was working one second, and the next was in a 20' building that lookied like a burning rose. A 20' tall burning rose. He was in the center of it. They said the concussion from the rocket probably killed him before he burned to death.

Probably.

So go ahead, and say ending the war was a "sucks" thing. It doesn't make you look intelligent. It makes you look like a psychopath.
