Guess what? Not everyone sees things the same way. In fact, about half the country is on my side.

When you say you "don't understand" how I can support Obama, it indicates a narrow-minded view of things. It's not as if my support for Obama is on the fringe of society.

It doesn't mean they're right! If half the country slit their wrists tomorrow would you do that too?

This president is doing everything to LIMIT the growth of our economy at a time when we need to grow it... and you STILL think that everything is just a-ok?? There is no logic to any of it... I just see a sports fan mindlessly routing his failing team.

We're talking about many millions of people who approve of the job Obama is doing. I don't think your comparison is a good one.

No, I don't agree with everything he's doing, but I do agree with most of what he's doing. And I certainly think the country is better off with Obama/Biden than it would have been with McCain/Palin.

You've got your opinion and I've got mine. To say that Obama is "doing everything to limit the growth of our economy" comes across as very irrational to me. Sorry.
