Obama is only "the MAN" because the other choice is so bad. Obama has been a poor president, but the alternative would have been even worse.
It is sad that we have to chose the best of the worst rather than someone who will actually lead this country and not be driven by special interests.

Obama has been a GREAT President.
The GOP platform is based solely on lies and disingenuous rhetoric. They deny the truth in spite of the facts and stick to the dogma. They clearly believe ideology trumps truth. Spurious George BushBoi stole the family sedan, striped it clean, took it on a drunken joy ride and crashed it into the guard rail at the edge of the cliff. Obama went and found the car, cleaned out all the garbage and empty beer cans, towed it away from the abyss, changed the 4 flat tires, got it running again while the Right Wing did everything they could to stand in the way and block the road. Now the GOP can only whine that he didn't get all the dents out, polish it up replace the stolen 8 track stereo and refill the tank. And they want the keys back. They want to say Obama failed when there is no truth to that statement. They do it so they wont have to face the inconvenient truth that WE are in this mess because THEY failed. They voted for and stood in lock step with GWB while he dismembered America. They can't face the shame of their own failure.

Oh that's good Ron. Maybe if elected Rmoney will cut a personal check to pay the debt. NOT!
Or is your solution to sit back and try nothing but complaining?

He will get my vote again.
Poor president is a huge stretch, but he can do better next term.
He has kept a number of promises.
He has even done a number of things any red blooded republican should be proud of, which I'm generally not.
He has been deporting twice as many illegals as George did.
He has targeted more information "leakers" than any previous administration.
I hope he does better this time.

Actually, philo, my "solution" is to show some spine cutting the budget and not to borrow money that you (and your grandchildren) can't pay back.

You people need to pull your heads up from sucking each others dicks long enough to notice that Obama is the most corrupt president this country has ever had.
He's a car salesman, plain and simple and you all have been had. You bought the lemon and now you all just rationalize it any way you can to keep from acknowledging you made a bad investment. And I thought we couldn't get worse than bush.

Totally agree K and my wife and I just talked about that. We are going to make a big push in our lives to avoid box stores, shop local, and look for made in america based products even if it means it will cost a little more.
The business 1st agenda leads us to exactly where we are: Countries that can exploit their workers with slave labor conditions / wages can produce the good the most economically and then sell them at mass chain stores like Walmart/Target.
You want America 1st? Vote with your $$ and how you spend it.
And yeah, Obama is the man :) I look forward to giving him another 4 years to hopefully undo a lot of the damage that 8 years of Bushwhacking did to this country...

Oh no! I feel myself getting sucked into a political vortex. Must resist. Trying to supress rightous indignation, and the urge to puke . . .

China is a capitalist country now?
No wonder we are so confused as to what true freedom from government is.
Edit:
Just a question
How many businesses in this country do you think go somewhere else do to government regulations, taxes, etc.. instead of just for cheaper labor?
From some of the ways you guys post it seams like you all think businesses just leave this country because their owners are greedy and want cheaper labor. That is what I;m getting from the dems anyway. Am I reading this the wrong way?

I voted for Obama 4 years ago. I have been less than thrilled with him so far.
I was willing to give Romney a little time to suss him out. It did take little
time. He's a spineless panderer to the extemist sickos who have highjacked the
Republican Party. What I really don't get are all those hillbillies who
think he is gonna make their lives better by taking away their Social Security
and healthcare. But I guess he provides them with the inspiration that they
too can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and reach for the stars.
