Nixon was the worst president,because of the damage he did to thee presidency. Bush did do something when he heard the evidence of eminent terroist attacks. He left DC.

Today is the anniversary of Hitler committing suicide. I wonder which side will take credit for that.

It smacks of insincerity , to be blaming Carter for poor decisions , and when Obama make decisions that have produced results that bring pride to all Americans , of whatever political stripes and hues, and the Republicians cannot admit what is a great feat , for which the President can fittingly take credit. The fact is this President has put some serious hurt on Al -queda , from his " use of the drones ' , to the elevation of the MARINE Seals , to a role , that has been enhanced under his Presidency . Ginrich ,and Santorium , of the candidates would have waged Americas war forcibly , not Mr. 'etch and sketch" , would be too busy reading the polls to ascertain the least risky position . In any event , for crying out loud , he has said he wouldnt move heaven and earth , thank God , we had a President , who did .

i can't believe the retards on here blabbing about how the investers got screwed and it's obama's fault. WAKE UP! They lost their pensions because of the financial crisis. THAT WAS BUSH'S FAULT! THIS IS FACT. GODDAMN RETARDS! You think if dems didn't step in with a loan and allowed GM to go bankrupt these people would be getting anything? really?! GET AN EFFIN EDUCATION AND STFU!

I guess Obama does want to "spike the football", then pick it up and spike it again, then do the sprinkler in the end zone for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Pivoting isn't going to help Romney much:-)

What a childish stance to take. You didn't kill him Mr. Obama, your Country did. I know you love the word "I", but there is no I in team and without your Country behind you, you would still be a community organizer, working with your thug pals, raising money. Get over yourself.

So Obama did one thing right whop de do! Clowns!

You mean you're not supposed to tout your accomplishments??? If a Republican President had been the one to focus his priorities on Osama Bin Laden and then got his man, their side would have been screaming incessantly every minute of every day until November 2012 and then a long time after! President Obama doesn't make believe and wear a flight jacket with "Mission Accomplished" emblazoned above him for the world to see, in fact, he has every right to, he set his priorities and he got his man. President Obama doesn't work Osama Bin Laden into every question, remark, comment like Rudy Giuliani has done since 9/11 as though he, Rudy, stopped the attack itself.

This Romney fella is has no core, no principles, no honor, and not a shred of honesty or backbone in his entire body, it's all about making money with him, and only if you can start with a ton of money and take no risks (google his Bain Capital contract), what a totally loathesome character.

Romney’ Bizarro Nation

Romney and his extreme-Republican base have publicly stated
the president hasn’t done enough on record to run against Republican policies.
These political advertisements are pretty accurate portrayals of what’s been
going on since taking over the mess left by Republican policies. The economy and
jobs were sunk by them and because president Obama can’t in 3 years fix what
they created with 8 years of Bush & Republican policies they suggest he has
failed the American people. That seems to me akin to the comic book of Superman
having to fight the Bizarro character. The Bizarro half of Americans still
believing trickle-down economics is working has bought (hook, line &
sinker) into the blatant lies of the Republican Bizarro nation. With all the
ugliness of Republican policies still being peeled away these Bizarro’s try
telling people the President lied because he didn’t fix their mess fast enough
after he made promises. Now they want another chance to totally destroy
whatever American virtues or dreams of hope is left. I would not be surprised
if we found out if corporations made a pact with Republicans (vice versa) not
to hire or grow their business on promises that Republicans can re-take the
Presidency by refusing to help the President in any way (Policy of “NO”) and
they would side with whatever the corporation wanted to repeal or new policies
for monetary support in campaigning for 2012. It partially worked in 2010.
Republican launched new laws against women rights, voting rights, immigration
and gays and lesbian rights never did get around to producing those JOBS, JOBS,
and JOBS they promised. America we have found the anchor that’s holding back
America. It’s the REPUBLICAN BIZARRO NATION and they are everywhere. We need
eyes and ears to call them out on whatever bizarre tactic they use. We will
take back our Country Back. That is the new title for these extreme right-wing
conservative Republicans - BIZARRO NATION,

WTFHAPPENED

Great job Obama. You got him. Romney is just jealous because the only thing he can do is make money of other peoples hardship.

Romney would have done a cost benefit analysis on killing Bin-Laden and my guess he would have done nothing since there was a good chance it would cost money and the operation could have messed up.

Obama had the balls to call the shots.

Now that Bin Laden is dead and Al Qaeda no longer exists, and we no longer have to be concerned about Is-lamic terrorism, we can celebrate all the great accomplishments of the past 3 years. What's that you say? Al Qaeda's still exists? Terrorism is still an issue? The TSA is still abusing US citizens and ignoring the Bill of Rights? Tell me again, what's was accomplished by hunting down Bin Laden. Oh yeah, vengeance. Good thing the POTUS is on top of his game...

BIZARRO NATION

Check your
calendars this time there will not be any swift boating, any lies will be
exposed and challenged, Hell thanks to the Bizarro nation people are not
fearing what could happen - it already did. I hope Republicans keep using
history because it uncovers many other dirty deeds perpetrated on the American
people for greed and power. Republicans might want to check their women too
because I do think today's modern women are not going for that "Leave it
to Beaver" character of June as a role model (Okie-Dok). The world has
changed and the Bizarro Nation will be defeated and this case Superman is the
entire nation of Americans. Beware of Truth. Choose your words wisely.
Somebody's watching you.

WTFHAPPENED

Here is what amazes me about all of you GOP/T-Pers, you right wing-nuts have the most difficult time giving President Obama any type of good accolades. Yet you support failed economic policies, hateful war-mongering rhetoric and a flip-flopping spoiled rotten to the core "Vulture Capitalist". All you folks have done is said NO to everything that this President attempted to bring up. In order to repair this economic $h!t-hole. That by the way your guy President Bush got us into from the onset. You tin foil hat wearing traitors, walk hand in step with this G. Nordquist guy. And even now when we the "American People", need to work together. The first thing that comes out of the GOP Senate Minority Leader mouth is that the GOP is going to make President Obama a one term President. Wow, I haven't even started about you guys platform on Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and then you all go after women reproductive rights. So if truths are facts and facts are basis of a conversation. Then this slogan "GM is alive and Bin-Laden is dead", says it all. After all your new flag bearer posts "Let Detroit go Bankrupt" and "I won't move heaven and earth to get Bin-Laden". So when President Obama points out these facts. All your K. Rove right wing-nut spin machine flunkies will have a dandy of a time trying to spin out hateful rhetoric on this one...

Go figure, then go vote...

President Flip Flop: Barack Obama’s Broken Promises, Policy Reversals and Continuous Flip Flops

Allen Ginzburg in Blog , Featured , Politics on April 16, 2012 9:15 am / 10 comments

President Obama’s reelection campaign has accused Mitt Romney of being a flip-flopper that changes his positions all the time. In actuality, it is the President himself who has a history of doing just that. Here is an extensive list ofn President Obama’s flip-flops, hypocrisies and broken promises:

The very first flip-flop that Obama committed since running for President is actually running for the office in 2008. Obama

Obama originally opposed the Iraq surge and

“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. In instances of self-defense, the President would be within his constitutional authority to act before advising Congress or seeking its consent. History has shown us time and again, however, that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the Legislative branch. It is always preferable to have the informed consent of Congress prior to any military action.”

However, as President in March 2011, Barack Obama authorized military action against the Libyan regime without consulting Congress, a decision

No, I tend not to use labels for folks. I haven’t met him; I’ve spoken to him on the phone. He has been a stalwart ally, in many respects, to the United States. He has sustained peace with Israel, which is a very difficult thing to do in that region, but he has never resorted to unnecessary demagoguing of the issue and has tried to maintain that relationship. So I think he has been a force for stability and good in the region.

“No American president in modern times has invested less effort in maintaining US alliances than Barack Obama. Whether it is siding with Marxists in Honduras against pro-American forces, condemning Israel, throwing the Poles and Czechs under the bus, or trashing the Anglo-American Special Relationship, the Obama administration has gone out of its way to kick its allies in the teeth while kowtowing to America’s enemies. For a president who boasted in his election campaign of restoring America’s “standing” in the world, Obama has done a spectacularly bad job of preserving friendships with Washington’s closest friends.”

PolitiFact has a few more broken promises

All of the statements above have been fact-checked, but I need to give credit to several sites for being the source of many of the points on this list:

a 2007 Foreign Affairs article, Senator Obama gave a strong indication that he would end the Bush administration practice of rendition of terror suspects:The New York Times reported in August 2009, the Obama administration’s Interrogation and Transfer Task Force announced that it would retain renditions, but with what The Times referred to as “more oversight.’”the Obama administration said it planned to release photos depicting abuse of detainees being held by the U.S. overseas. The administration then reversed its decision, and said it would resist court rulings demanding the release of such photos.said he would repeal the Patriot Act in a 2003 questionnaire, but later voted to renew it in the Senate.voted for a bill that did just that in July of 2008.highlighted the importance of killing Osama Bin Laden while running for president and after OBL was killed in Pakistan, but made the claim that it was no longer “essential” when he first got into office.promised to seek public financing for his presidential campaign in 2008, but ended up rejecting public financing.Obama said he would meet McCain ”anywhere, anytime to have a debate about our respective policies in Iraq, Iran, the Middle East or around the world”. But he rejected town hall debates proposed by the McCain campaign.Obama decried Senate candidate Scott Brown’s (R-MA) record of voting with Republicans 96% of the time, saying it showed Brown was not ”independent.” When he himself was in the Senate, Obama voted with Democrats 96% of the time.Obama said that, as president, he would raise the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour, up from the current $7.25 an hour. It has not been raised.After the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and several others (six people were killed), Obama said, ”at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who happen to think differently than we do — it’s important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds”. Yet Obama has frequently described Republicans as Social Darwinists. He has said that the difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats ”have a sense of neighborliness and a sense of community, and we are willing to look out for one another and help people who are vulnerable and help people who are down on their luck”.“The Audacity of Hope”, Obama lamented the description of abortion opponents as”right-wing ideologues who want to take away a woman’s right to choose”. Obama said the”standard boilerplate” rhetoric had been written — not by himself — but by someone on his U.S. Senate campaign staff, and he had the ”offending words” removed from his website. In recent months, however, Obama has described Republican opponents of abortion as seeking to ”turn back the clock”, ”prevent millions of women from getting basic health care that they desperately need”, and ”stirring up fights over a woman’s right to make her own health care choices”.advocating civility and civil debate, Obama has appointed Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) to chair the DNC, even though she has frequently resorted to name-calling (e.g., here, here,here, here, and here). Rather than chastising her for her incivility, Obama has praised her.launched this invective at the Tea Party – ”President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of a bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong” – during an event at which Obama was about to speak, the Obama administration refused to denounce Hoffa’s offensive (and violent) rhetoric, saying they would not act as the ”speech police”. Days later, Obama’s presidential campaign launched AttackWatch.com, a website dedicated to policing the speech of Republicans and denouncing them when they say unfair things about Obama.”In 2008, Obama said, ”I will never question the patriotism of others in this campaign. And I will not stand idly by when I hear others question mine. [...] Patriotism can never be defined as loyalty to any particular leader, or government, or policy.” However, in that same year, he called the Bush administration’s decision to raise the debt ceiling ”unpatriotic”. [Obama] has accused Republicans of putting party before country, and he has stood idly by as others in his party — e.g., Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) — have said Republicans are ”not patriotic.’”Obama derided presidential commissions as ”Washington-speak” for ”we’ll get back to you later.” In 2010, he appointed the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform to look for solutions to the debt crisis. The commission did not have the votes to submit their plan to Congress, and Obama has not championed their proposals.Obama said that, as president, he would create a national commission to look at whether programs such as Social Security Disability Insurance, Supplementary Security Income, Medicare and Medicaid create an incentive for people to not work. He has yet to do so.Obama’s campaign said that, as president, he would ”not sign any nonemergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House Web site for five days”. He has since signed non-emergency bills without the five-day public review period.Obama said that, as president, he would convert the White House fleet of cars to plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles. He has not done so.opposed gay marriage during the 2008 election. Obama also supported states deciding the issue at that point. However, later on Obama opposed California’s ban on gay marriage and has said his views on the issue are “evolving.”changed course and signaled approval of Super PAC’s that are supporting his re-election effort.supported the D.C. hand gun ban before agreeing with the Supreme Court decision that it “went beyond constitutional limits.”suggested he would support a D.C. voucher program before opposing it and eventually cutting funding to it.told students in 2004 he supported decriminalizing marijuana usage, but opposed it during his run for president. He has yet to take significant steps to decriminalize marijuana as President.described union contributions to the campaigns of Clinton and John Edwards as ‘special interest’ money. Obama changed his tune as he began gathering his own union endorsements. Since gaining his own union support, Obama refers respectfully to unions as the representatives of ‘working people’ and says he is ‘thrilled’ by their support.”disagreed with the Supreme Court decision upholding a ban on partial birth abortion and had a 100% NARAL rating in 2006, 2007 and 2008, but while being interviewed by a Christian magazine Obama said that “mental distress” should not count as a “health of the mother” exception to a ban.refused to wear a flag pin during the 2008 primaries because he considered them a substitute for “true patriotism”, but he started wearing it again once the primaries were over.called Bill Clinton’s 1996 Welfare Reform legislation “disturbing” at the time it was passed, but he celebrated the reforms and what they resulted in once running for president.said he can no more disown Wright than his white grandmother. Once it became even clearer that Wright was an extreme individual, Obama did disown and disassociate himself from Wright.accepted money from registered airline lobbyist Ron Klein.promised and made a campaign issue of not have a revolving door of lobbyists joining and leaving his administration, but has consistently violated this pledge by providing waivers to circumvent this promise.here.Audacity of Hypocrisy, Telegraph, Director Blue, Yahoo Voicessaid in 2004 that he would not run for President in the next election. Based on what has happened in the last 3 years, this is one promise that most Americans would likely prefer he had kept.Obama opposed raising the debt ceiling, and said adding 4 trillion in was ”unpatriotic”. As President, he insisted the debt ceiling be raised and has added substantially more than 4 trillion to the debt.Obama said that, as President, he would repeal the Bush tax cuts for the rich. In 2010, he extended those cuts.Obama said that, as President, he would raise taxes on capital gains and dividends for higher-income taxpayers. He has not done so.Obama pledged that, ”no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes. My opponent can’t make that pledge.” However, he has raised taxes on tanning, cigarettes, and those who do not purchase health insurance (regardless of income).Obama said that, as president, he would ”eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year”. He has not done so.using the loophole to bypass the legislation almost immediately. Obama touted that a previous extension of unemployment benefits was fully paid for, but later blasted Republicans for not continuing to extend those benefits without paying for them.Obama derided spending freezes as ”using a hatchet where you need a scalpel” and ”unfair burden-sharing”. He said that, although it’s ”proposed periodically”, a spending freeze ”doesn’t happen”. In 2010, Obama announced support for a three-year federal spending freeze on discretionary spending not related to national security.Obama’s campaign said that, as President, he would reduce earmarks ”to less than $7.8 billion a year, the level they were at before 1994″. Earmarks for fiscal year 2010 were more than $15 billion.Obama said that, as President, he would ”ensure that federal contracts over $25,000 are competitively bid”. He has not done so.Obama said that, as president, he would increase the tax credits for child care and dependent care, and make such credits refundable. He has not done so.as The Washington Post noted, “a detailed comprehensive space plan that includes $2 billion in new funding to reinvigorate NASA”.as The Washington Post reported in March 2010, President Obama later shattered the dreams of the NASA community with a decision “to kill NASA’s Constellation program, crafted during the Bush administration with an ambitious goal of putting astronauts back on the moon by 2020.”promised to end the war in Iraq and bring the all the troops home in 2009. He later changed his tune to say the withdrawal depends on conditions on the grounds and troops remained in Iraq past 2009.claimed that extra troops would not do anything to quell sectarian violence. However, after the surge was clearly successful, Obama suggested that everyone knew the surge would decrease violence in Iraq.“President Obama has shown a striking lack of consistency with regard to the question of Congressional authorisation and the use of force. In a 2007 interview with The Boston Globe, then Senator Obama declared:which drew heavy fire on Capitol Hill.”his Prague speech in April 2009, President Obama pledged to move forward with the Bush-era plans for Third Site missile defences in Poland and the Czech Republic…Just six months later however, the Obama administration surrendered to Russian demands, and dramatically dropped plans for Third Site.”to Russia’s president about flexibility after the election signal further concessions in this area.giving a speech in front of the Pro-Israel group AIPAC in 2008, Obama proclaimed that Jerusalem must remain the undivided capital of Israel. However, a few days later his advisers were clarifying that he no longer believes that and the division of Jerusalem is actually an issue to be addressed in negotiations.repeated the same strategy in 2012 when he promised to “have Israel’s back” on Iran in his 2012 AIPAC speech and backtracked a few days later.In 2004, Senator Obama was a prominent supporter of a “humanitarian intervention” to halt state-sponsored mass killing in Darfur, declaring in a speech that ‘we cannot, in good conscience, stand by and let the genocide continue.’ He advocated tough UN sanctions against the brutal regime of Omar Hassan al-Bashir, which “should freeze the assets of the Sudanese government, its leaders and business affiliates; outlaw arms sales and transfers to Sudan; and prohibit the purchase of Chinese oil.”Big picture foreign policy strategy has not been a forté of this administration, as demonstrated by its inconsistent policy on Egypt and the Middle East. In an interview with the BBC’s Justin Webb in June 2009, when asked if he viewed President Mubarak as an authoritarian ruler, President Obama declared:opposed the embargo in 2004, but later supported it when speaking in front of a Cuban audience during his run for president. It is still in place today.Obama said he would recognize the Armenian Genocide once he is president. He has not done so.distance himself from the position that he would meet with Iran without preconditions during the 2008 campaign by claiming there would be “preparations”, before returning to his original position.shift over a two day period in 2008 is the greatest example of Obama’s waffling on the issue. On one day Obama suggested that Iran does not “pose a serious threat to us”, but the very next day he was describing Iran as a “grave threat”.voted against the Kyl-Lieberman bill which would designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. Obama attacked Hillary Clinton for voting for the bill, but later claimed that he supported labeling the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. Obama explained his vote against the bill using a variety of different reasons at different times.referred to his own rhetoric as “overheated and amplified.”stated that he would meet with Hugo Chavez and discuss his support for FARC on one day and then said governments supporting FARC should be isolated the next.Obama said that, as president, he would ”give an annual State of the World address to the American people in which I lay out our national security policy”. He has never given any such address.A key foreign policy theme of the Obama presidential election campaign was the notion that President Bush had damaged America’s image on the world stage, with his supposedly ‘cowboy’ policies. In the words of a campaign document, “Barack Obama and Joe Biden will restore America’s standing in the world by providing a new American leadership to meet the challenges of a new century”.I’ve noted before:blamed George W. Bush for high gas prices when he was President. Yet now that prices have reached near record highs under his administration, Obama is claiming that he has no control of those prices. Furthermore, Obama has previously said he supports a gradual shift to higher gas prices, but now laughs off the claim that he is rooting for higher prices to reduce dependency.Obama said that, as president, he would “set a hard cap on all carbon emissions at a level that scientists say is necessary to curb global warming – an 80% reduction by 2050″Obama rejected selling oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which he said should be “reserved for a genuine emergency.” A month later, Obama said, “We should sell 70 million barrels of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve for less expensive crude, which in the past has lowered gas prices within two weeks”, even though gas prices were higher in July 2007 than in August 2007.touted the possibility of a pipeline during his 2008 campaign, but rejected rapid approval of the Keystone XL pipeline this year.told a group of Democratic Governors in June of 2008 that he was open to expanding nuclear power after having previously opposed it.Obama said that, as President, he would introduce comprehensive immigration reform legislation in his first year. He did not. He has now made the same promise for the first year of his second term.against the individual mandate before it became a central part of his signature legislation.Obama said, ”I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program.” In 2009, Obama said, ”I have not said that I was a single-payer supporter.”promised Americans that they would be able to keep their current insurance plan if they like it. Further analysis by the CBO has revealed that Obamacare would cause many seniors to have their Medicare Advantage coverage cut in half and millions to be dropped from their employer-provided insurance.promised that he would “not sign [a healthcare bill] if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period.” Yet, a new analysis determines that his bill will add quite a bit to future deficits.outlined three goals for his health care legislation. Lowering the cost curve and insuring all Americans were two of the three. It has now been determined that Obamacare will add to the deficit and 25 million Americans will remain uninsured.passed via reconciliation, contrary to his 2007 insistence that health care reform should not be passed by a bare ”50 plus one majority”, and his 2005 rejection of the ‘nuclear option’ in the Senate.Obama said, when it came to crafting health care reform, ”we’ll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN.” Many crucial negotiations pertaining to health care reform were not televised.Obama criticized his presidential opponent, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), saying, ”for the first time in American history, he wants to tax your health benefits.” In 2010, Obama signed into law health care reform legislation that puts a 40% tax on some health insurance policies.import cheaper prescription drugs. The health care reform he signed into law does not allow this.opposed cracking down on employers of illegal immigrants before running for President, but supported it during his run.Obama’s campaign said that, as president, he would ”close the detention facility at Guantanamo.” And, in January 2009, Obama signed an executive order calling for the Guantanamo Bay facility to be closed. It remains open.Obama said that, as president, he would end the use of military commissions with respect to terrorism suspects and detainees. However, they are still in use.Rendition of Terror Suspects . No cap and trade legislation has been passed.

Ha. Obama "got 'ir done" when Bush couldn't... and Republicans just can't stand it.

What a joke!

Let's remind the GOP/TEA/Dumb FUX NEWS Party how sick Bush looked in that flight suit with the "Mission Accomplished" banner. Or Bush/Cheney saying 9/11 in every speech. Bush/Cheney were asleep at the wheel when we were attacked on 9/11 then went on to order torture, let Osama get away and then they attacked the wrong country which alienated the entire world except Brittan against us...

No wonder they won't let Bush out of hiding to support the party's efforts to take back the White House...they don't want people to be reminded of what a disaster 8 years of Bush/Cheney with 6 of those years the GOP had control of the house and the senate was for America...

Obama/Biden 2012!!!

The truth is that regardless of what Obama did or did not do you'd all be acting like the dopey idiots that you are. To give him (or any Democrat for that matter) credit for anything is so far beyond your capabilities that you wouldn't acknowledge any level of accomplishment if your lives depended on it. Keep up with the senseless blather because pleasuring yourselves is the only thing your good at doing.

Republicans need to just swallow this bitter pill.

Obama got the job done.

They should be congratulating and kind. It's what we ALL wanted.

Trying to tarnish this good achievement only makes them look petty, childish, desperate, unwise and sad.

This was a great thing. They can't change it. Who would want to vote for someone who would even try?

Man what is next? People without jobs or underemployed. The debt is exploding. What little of a recovery is sputtering. Both of these guys are yahoos. I know this. The direction we are in has to change. No Obama.

Shame there are no leaders on the ballot.

Congratulations drkangel can be the president of the Bizarro Nation

Romney and his extreme-Republican base have publicly stated
the president hasn’t done enough on record to run against Republican policies.
These political advertisements are pretty accurate portrayals of what’s been
going on since taking over the mess left by Republican policies. The economy and
jobs were sunk by them and because president Obama can’t in 3 years fix what
they created with 8 years of Bush & Republican policies they suggest he has
failed the American people. That seems to me akin to the comic book of Superman
having to fight the Bizarro character. The Bizarro half of Americans still
believing trickle-down economics is working has bought (hook, line &
sinker) into the blatant lies of the Republican Bizarro nation. With all the
ugliness of Republican policies still being peeled away these Bizarro’s try
telling people the President lied because he didn’t fix their mess fast enough
after he made promises. Now they want another chance to totally destroy
whatever American virtues or dreams of hope is left. I would not be surprised
if we found out if corporations made a pact with Republicans (vice versa) not
to hire or grow their business on promises that Republicans can re-take the
Presidency by refusing to help the President in any way (Policy of “NO”) and
they would side with whatever the corporation wanted to repeal or new policies
for monetary support in campaigning for 2012. It partially worked in 2010.
Republican launched new laws against women rights, voting rights, immigration
and gays and lesbian rights never did get around to producing those JOBS, JOBS,
and JOBS they promised. America we have found the anchor that’s holding back
America. It’s the REPUBLICAN BIZARRO NATION and they are everywhere. We need
eyes and ears to call them out on whatever bizarre tactic they use. We will
take back our Country Back. That is the new title for these extreme right-wing
conservative Republicans - BIZARRO NATION,

Looking at all this you people are certainly in need of a new drug, or whatever your taking you better get off of it fast. Drink no more moonshine either. Obama has got the Black vote, the Hispanic vote,the Gay vote, the Union vote, the Democrat vote, the Highly Educated Women's vote, at least half the Independant vote, the Miltary vote,the Muslim vote, most all the Young peoples vote, the Indians vote, and any one with common sense which even could be the Republican vote to some degree, the Wall street vote!!! And thats not all > I mean are you KIDDING ME, get a education, read a book. Past history thru time gives Obama a 67% chance at a second term- PERIOD! So, the people that do not vote for him are probably just plain ignorant,or racist, with not any knowledge of how thing's work. His achievements are pretty darn good(look them up)(yes, you'll have to go to public record's and get off the couch) and stop listen to bias so called news channels like fox, which is under investigation in three countries including our's. These are FACTS not opinions! And now on top of that thing's are turning around, slowly, but enough I assure you all, housing-nationwide-unemployment(except some of you on here,lol) All three USA car industries made a profit! And people are hiring again, and the wages for some are coming back. So quit your whinning, and educate yourself. And there is not one of us on here that has paid more taxes(income tax) since Obama has been in Office- PERIOD! and THAT IS A FACT DO NOT "JUDGE" what you do not have the intellect, or courage to find out the truth.Truth is understanding the facts, not delusional thinking! It amazes me how people hide behind their computers, and think they have courage.If you can not stand in front of the person or person's you are judging,just stay behind that computer screen and hide. How pathetic so many have become!
