I can't believe any of you think that the president runs this country, regardless of which party he used to get their. Corporations run this country, we have a capitalist government who has feed the monster to the point of no control.
If you want to vote toward something that will actually come true look and see what the big corps want, vote the same and see it happen like magic. Otherwise you will just continue to be disappointed because no president can win without payback. Corps have one hand on you and one hand on the presidents balls.
The only people who can take down the monster is us, but we would have to throw greed aside so you can see what a challenge it poses. I for one think getting rid of big government would at least get rid of one hand on balls. lol
Welcome to independent voting, just go independent and keep your vote out of the propaganda game. It might not change anything but at least you'll feel better.
Just how does the big corporations run the country?????.. doesn't the government regulate big business.. Oh yes, big business will lobby , which I think is just bribes and our elected officials including Obama take the bribes . If they didn't take the bribes , big business has NO INFLUENCE..
If a police officer takes bribe money they are dirtier than the one giving the bribe.. if one cannot be bribed, they have all the power.. the elected officials have that power to be bribed or not.
I think Obama is idiotic... in his SOTU, he says that raising minimum wage to $10.10 will get people out of poverty... people in poverty make minimum wage... no matter what the minimum wage is, they will always be in poverty because they only make minimum wage...
It's partially Obama's fault, but his presidency has also revealed deep flaws in our Republican system, where the balance of power can, in the right circumstances, allow a small group of people elected by a small percentage of the country to effectively void all functions of the US government.
Oh bull.
Clinton was IMPEACHED by a Republican house, and he STILL managed to work with them and get the peoples' work done.
The division we see today in politics, as well as among the citizens of this country, is intentional. Obama's entire life has been spent pitting one group of people against another. Why would anyone believe that he'd treat this job any different? If anything, his election (and re-election) prove to him (in his own mind) that people WANT this divisiveness.
Obama doesn't want to work with Republicans. He wants to force through his own agenda, without any input from the other side (e.g. Obamacare), and when the other side complains, he uses that to chastise them for being "obstructionists." It's engineered politics, and while Obama is very good at it, it doesn't do anything positive for the country.

Obama learned it well to divide for power.. This is what he learned as he sat in church each week as the Rev. Wright pitted blacks against whites for power and his congregation grew to 6 thousand..Black Liberation theology , divisive and hateful and resentful the message was, fed the crowd through caring for their cause and hating America.. Obama learned it too well.
I have been disappointed with his unforced errors. However, until people decide to change the conversation, the only candidates we will ever get to choose from are worse and worst. If you are voting based on gay marriage, gun rights, the Bible, race or whatever unimportant issue that only seeks to distract us from our true interests, this will keep happening.
I was in my mid 20's and got caught up in the Bush hate. But also the propaganda about voting for Obama being some kind of message to the rest of the world that we had learned our lesson. Another layer of it was cultural supremacy. I was dooped by the National Media into thinking the Republican party was racist and electing Obama would somehow reflect on the USA being some kind of forward thinking society. Lastly I fell for his never ending promises.

Especially the ones that he doesn't understand were "errors".
