Compared to Netenahu and Putin, Obama is a whimp. Both of those other guys totally dominated him. Obama is spineless, but then he's got 2 kids to worry about, too.

What makes you guys think he'll do any better next time?
Obama doesn't need to do "any better." For economic results to be better, however, the obstructionist Republicans need to admit that his presidency is legitimate--and allow his polices to be enacted.

"It's not been a communist country for decades."
Holy sh#t, this is news to me.
I would like you to tell Red Chinas government they are not Communist anymore and see how far you get. Did China claim to not be Communist anymore and I somehow missed it?
So, the only reason Businesses are moving away is cheaper labor, not over-regulated unfriendly business climate caused by our government repubs and dems alike?
Your right, China does have more regulations when it comes to individual freedoms, but I don't see them having regulations that prevent business from going there.
China has had cheap labor for a long long time, why is it that business and manufacturing are moving there more rapidly than before?
But perhaps I'm Bat sh#t crazy as you claim.
Edit:
You can remedy any problem by throwing sh#t loads of money at it, but how do you pay for that debt later.
Cure the disease, don't just remedy the symptoms.
Can you please just answer me how we are supposed to pay for this ever rising debt that Bush may have started, but this guy has made much worse in just 4 years.

My constitution UPHELD. My concern with comments like this is that the person making them usually has very little idea of what our Constitution (and Bill of Rights) says, let alone means.
BTW, great comparison between Putin and Netanyahu. One is the former head of the KGB, who runs the country like he still occupies that position. The other is someone who is so hardline, much of Israel shares the same belief. Great role models. You should have tossed Mao and Stalin in the same pot too. Those guys were ruthlessly effective too.

Because sometimes things change and moments come for the right person, or because a president can be more successful in his second term?
It has happened before. I know you're a student of history Randisi.

Very true Survival. It's just some of us or of the opinion that this guy is no different than any other politician.
You just can't say anything bad about him or your called a racist who just wants to put the man down.
If you see something in this guy that I don't, I truly hope you are right and I will admit my mistake and be happy the country is doing better.
But that is what I said four years ago and this guy has not shown me anything different than what we had before.
I would rather be proven wrong and have this country be getting better than to claim I'm right and have the country be going down the drain.
Edit:
If you want to pay more f*#kin taxes go ahead DR.F. I'm personally tired of giving the government my money.
It is real scary that that is your only response. Take more money from the citizens is your answer?

9/11, Obama, and then the economic downturn.
Sorry Donald, but you've got that in the wrong order. It goes:
*9/11
*Fake WMD invasion of Iraq and untold trillions of Chinese money.
*Economic Crash
*Then Obama
At least call it what it is, if you want any credibility at all.

Let's not forget the one of the primary reasons for the rising national debt:
150-250 Million Dollars A DAY for just the war in Iraq, forget Afghanistan and other covert / ongoing military actions. Federally, we spent 902.2 Billion on Military in 2012. In 2012, we spent 153.1 Billion on Education.
Perhaps we could, you know, scale back being an aggressor or Government subsidizer of OTHER COUNTRIES and say focus on the homeland and the problems here? Imagine if our schools received even half of what the military gets in Federal funding? That would be almost three times more funding then they already get.
I am not saying abandon the military, but come on, think of the good that could be here on U.S. soil if we just trimmed back a little? Obama is trying to do this and is getting fought at every corner by the Republicans.

This century has not been good for this country so far. 9/11, Obama, and then the economic downturn.
the economic downturn predated Obamas's presidency

Obama is the man, Rmoney is Mr. Charlie.
sounds like a bit of a contradiction
Winning a war means ending a war and when a war ends, the money stops.
And when the money stops the music starts.
And when the music's over turn out the light.
