It already backfired in 08, when he won the election. The GOP is simply too stupid to realize that and they just keep using the same tactics.

Reagan talked about a shining city on a hill. Obama talks about an arrogant, degenerate country and apologizes for us every chance he can. He is the first black president yet his WH uses the race card every chance they can. The feeling I get is whiney and pass the buck when things go wrong.

Which leader are you prone to follow?

What nonsense are you talking about? I was talking about living on credit (overspending), which is exactly what Obama continues doing. If Obama wanted to improve the economy after Bush, he should not have passed Obamacare, would not have approved the bailouts to the auto industry and lending institutions, would have pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan, would have stopped pork in Congress (like he promised), would not be having so many parties at the Oral office, and so forth.

Obama hasn't spent a dime of my money? Oh, I get it Obama refuses to take any money from working Americans. He just prints money all night and spends it all day

I think that living above your means is a bad thing. Unfortunately, many Americans had their means devastated by the lack of regulation during the Bush years. So the government took care of its citizens by passing ARRA to create some jobs instead of just letting things fall as they may as Hoover did.
Give me an example of the jobs Obama has created with inflation

Obama is not creating inflation, but borrowing from China, and spending with no end in sight, which in turn will create the inflation that could very well kill the US economy

Look it up. I'm not going to give you an economics course. I'm not saying HIGH inflation is a good thing. I'm saying that SOME inflation, which is arguably absent, is NECESSARY if we want our economy to grow.
If you want the economy to grow, you make it possible for the private sector to create jobs. Repeat after me: Private sector jobs, jobs, jobs! That's what improves local and national economies, not government jobs and budget deficits.

Going by what I've read on this forum so far, I'd be apologizing for this country too if I were Obama. It's pretty embarrassing seeing people sticking their feet into their mouths on a daily basis. LOL, but hey, our country is based on freedom, freedom of the dumb, right?

OK, then. Tell me what type of civilian force Obama was talking about? The Hitler Youth? See.. I don't think Obama was talking about kids, but a force made of adults. For example, the "community organizers" he is known for being part of. Therefore, organizations such as ACORN and others could very well be what he was talking about, unless you can prove otherwise.

No worse than comparing him to or calling him a good President or even American. The man is a sad disappointment & a threat to our way of life. Hitler was freely elected & widely supported before he did what he dis, I wonder if anyone imagined the things he did were coming?

I have seen pictures of Obama with the same mustache (photo shopped onto him) as that piece of sh-- and I wonder what the hell society is thinking. I hated Bush and I wouldn't even have referred to him this way. So what kind of idiotic comparison is this? Did people sleep for 8 years? Has anyone in the US recently killed millions that we didn't hear about? Anyone else seen these ridiculous posters?
Where were you when the same idiots compared Bush to the same person?
