you forgot to include those that have kids barefoot and barely clothed in the trailer park, but can afford a shinny new pickup truck and a rack full of guns. No money for food, but the fridge is well stocked in beer and there is always a few bucks for the TV preacher.

Yup they should all be out working, but what ever job they could do, is being done in china.

Other than a platform for whining and complaining, what's the point? He won the election of 2008, and if everyone is really so down on his performance in office, they don't have to vote for him in 2012.

I thought George W. Bush was an absolutely godawful President, but guess what? I had to wait four years to cast a vote against him. You can do the same with President Obama.

They just like seeing downward numbers:

If the stock market is down ---> Blame Obama
If the stock market is up-------> Keep quite

If a poll has his numbers down--->Call him a failure
If a poll shows his numbers up--->Keep quite

And if you can't find anything bad or something to blame, call him a few names and make something up.

What a foolish, hateful, and ignorant thing to say. It really is sad to see some people living in such blind and abysmal ignorance.

other than the usual smear of the commander and chief by our "true patriots" the OP does have a valid point, americans are in growing concern about the spending way too much of it.

Why root for a 9-11 type of attack when a lot of you loons still believe that GW Bush planned the attacks on American soil. We are not rooting for King Obama to fail we just realize that if he passes his socialistic agenda we will reach a point of no return...picture Russia, France, England......all of these countries that are now falling apart after going down that road......devalued currencies.......hey we believe he will fail and refuse to be silent as he destroys this country. You are entitled to your opinions as are we....so far the proof is in the pudding.......
