We've been going downhill since the 80s IMO.

I am one who also voted for Obama, mainly because their wasn't anyone else worth voting for, actually they all LIE to get their way.

I know one-thing i see nothing positive ahead of us, we're in trouble!~!

I wish that John Kerry would have run, as i would have voted for him.
I'm not so sure that he'd want to be in this terrible mess that Bush has left everyone, especially the next president, whom is now Obama.
I not so sure he can get us out of this horror we are all experiencing.
Well maybe not everyone, i wonder how the extremely well paid actors & actresses among the many athletes that play pro-football among other sports are doing, as they are millionaires.
Maybe they could help by donating to charities, since they all have more money than they know what to do with.
Yes i agree, why do we have to put up with illegal aliens & other such foreigners, that are getting our jobs, which leaves us with nothing.
This government of ours is going wacko, we all need to get together & take over the government,.

Did you know that England, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland & a host of other countries, allow their residents FREE Health Insurance, or only a tiny office fee & in England a person can get FREE Education.
Here in the supposedly Free world, nothing appears to be Free,

hhhmmm!

Because Bush did a lousy job. Angry voters voted for Obama because he wasn't Bush.

Now look where we are!

Furthermore, I voted for Obama because of his fony promises of "change" instead unemployment is higher than ever, illegal imagrants keep stealing what little jobs are left, we keep spend money on a futile pointless war (That I myself served in), Government health care is proven not to work (ie. England, Canada) and WILL increase the deficite by 2.5 trillion dollars!! If this continues we as a nation are doomed! Oh, god and the republicans want sarah palin for president in 2012 imagine a cheer leader as president the world really is gonna end that year!! Honestly 70% of people who voted for Obama did it because he's black there I said it the cold hard truth.

i agree with all of your post ....except i think the beggining goes way back to right after JFK ...since then the office has really been run by bankers...hope ron paul runs for president next term...im voting for him if that happens

Speak for yourself. I'm doing just fine.

And I'll keep track of the instances of "Bush's fault". Now that's bipartisan teamwork.

Obama has three more years. In three years is the U.S. going to look like the Old Soviet Union?

Do you think it's going to look like the Old Soviet Union? Do you know what that looked like? Do you think everything that happens or changes is going to be Obamas doing?

Agreed, though if you're talking about Iraq or Afghanistan, you can't dodge the fact that Bush started those wars.

I believe Bush did greater harm than any other president we've ever had.

And I believe you parrot that out every time someone mentions anything other than what you believe in.

The whole "BUSH DID IT!" panic button folks like you push is getting a bit worn out don't you think?
