I think Democrats and Republicans may actually have a common foe... Those who sit on their hands, whine about politics in general and who ultimately end up throwing away their vote.

They asked the same thing about Ronald Reagan, too.

How he and the Congress(don't forget them) did it, you will never know...

Despite the ignorance of Republicans who don't give this man the respect he is due because he is black, President Obama continues to resuscitate this country from the disaster that was Republicans under Bush. He does so with an unparalelled level of poise, resolve, and commitment to all that is high and noble. Romney, pathetic by comparison.

Very happy to cast my vote for the REELECTION of this fine President.
The reason I have no respect for the fool has nothing to do with his being half black. It's because his presidency has been half-vast.

Even Biden, the clown prince of this administration, has earned more respect than your annointed one!

I couldn't agree more. I read these posts and some are saying they are not voting for anyone? Well if you do some research I find that both these gentlemen offer positives and negatives but there is certainly enough there to pick a candidate. I think some people need to put aside anger and personal attacks and VOTE. If you vote I personally wonder how I could respect your opinion. That's just me I guess?

Good point. So am I and I have friends who almost get mad when I tell them that. Call me a sheep and things like that. It's crazy. It's like they want me to admit that because Obama is in office things can possibly be going well for me.

I voted early this year because I won't be in town to vote on Election Day. I haven't done that since college--I like going to the polls. But anyway, I voted back in September via absentee ballot. It never even occurred to me that the debates might have any effect. They are all about showmanship and camera presence, and nothing at all about the qualities that go into being a good president.
