Can we just admit that the Congressional Obstructionist experiment has been a complete pathetic failure?
You're welcome.
what happened when the democrats had control the first 2 years? a health care bill that is widely unpopular by producers, a stimulus that created zero jobs, and you can't forget cash for clunkers. oh wait, you can forget that.
it's obvious. racism. and by "far right" I assume you are referring to the majority of americans who disapprove of obama?
No one but the far right uses the term "The Obama Experiment." If you listen to, read to or pay any attention to the rhetoric of the far right you know exactly what they mean by this term. They use it often enough that it's obvious in context. It's just more rightwing dog whistle politics. It has zero to do with disagreeing with his policies.
On the balance, Obama will be remembered for restoring equilibrium to the US, after the undeniably failed "GWB Experiment" in crashed economy and global war.
Did Obama solved all of our problems? No, but he steered the ship back off the rocks.
Meanwhile, 9.3 million Americans who lacked health insurance are now covered. The DOW is at a record high. Gay marriage is legal. Obama wound down the last war, and resisted calls to start new ones.
The GOP is publicly crying crocodile tears about the state of things. But secretly, they are delighted. If a Republican wins the POTUS in 2016, he/she will start the term with the country in INFINITELY better shape than Obama inherited from GWB.

Absolutely not. With the advent of the tea party taking over control of the republican party, if a republican had been elected president in 2008 and the republicans controlled both houses, we'd have a totalitarian Fascist regime right now.
Seniors would have to live with their children or live on the street. People would be dying early from lack of health care. Single mothers with their children would be begging on street corners. It would be open season on blacks, browns, native americans and gays. Black Chevy Tahoe's with black windows would be prowling the streets looking for moral miscreants.
We'd be at war, with boots on the ground, in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Ukraine, and Korea.
No, I believe that if the republicans ever gain control of the government while the tea party calls the shots, they will never give up power and we will have a total dictatorship and elections will mean nothing. They will just refuse to step down.
I honestly, in my heart of hearts, consider the tea party controlled, republican party, to be inherently evil and the most destructive force in America today.
I disagree with many of the actions Obama has taken and much of the Democratic platform but it is light years better than what the Republicans are offering.

You asked............I answered.
We already have a dictatorship, ruling by executive fiat!

I don't listen or pay attention to "rhetoric" from either side. I choose to be happy, whereas you choose to be miserable for some reason. always angry is no way to go through life, yet you seek out things that bother you. didn't you just say that sarah palin bothers you, because you choose to listen to her? do yourself a favor. take the whistle out of your mouth you use to try to blow on everyone, and turn off talk radio. try some music. also, please enlighten me as to what "the obama experiment" means, since you obviously are offended by it.

Obama was stupid for accepting the presidency. He should have let Hillary have it in 2008. It was obvious the economy was going to crash. There is a time delay in the stupid politics and the economic effects.
I don't listen or pay attention to "rhetoric" from either side.
And yet, here you are, posting political opinions just like the rest of us.

No, I said that as someone who closely follows politics, it's hard to avoid her when she continually thrusts herself into the political discussion.
