I state that the Republicans held the House, Senate and White House for six years. They actually only held the position for 4 consecutive years. I failed to account for the fact that in 2001 Senator James Jeffords of Vermont switched from the Republican Party to the Independent Party and caucused with the Democrats, giving the Democrats a one seat majority.
So, in other words, you were wrong.
And 50 is greater than 59.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

There are hundreds of thousands more people out of work, since Obama took office. Right?
Unemployment went from to 7.8% the day he went into office to 8.6% today. Right? At one point it was 10%.
The median household income dropped 5% (50K to 45K) since Obama took office...Right?
Americas debt has added another 6 Trillion, since Obama took office. Right?
Gas is $2 or so more a gallon since the day Obama took office. Right?
Change?
Hope?
So what the hell went wrong here?
It's all the Republican's fault SPeedy...didn't you know that? Either it was problems he "inherited" or it was the Republicans "blocking" him. Nothing Obama did was wrong. It's all the other parties fault.

for starters, the republicans either blocked or would not allow a vote on most of his initiatives. they are just as guilty for obama's failures because they in part caused them.
one man, in our government can do nothing without the consent of the other 2 branches... checks and balances, checks and balances...
he is not a fucking king...
your right he aint no fucking king ..infact he aint much of a president either, it seems to me he just laid down and cryed, why were other presidents able to take control at least to a point of doing better than Barry O has done in office ?....no more excuses, the guy is a straight up looser and I aint saying Romney will do any better but Obama has in 4 short years proved that he can not deliver any hope and change. sadly this ass clown may get re-elected because people are too blind to see what Obama can and can't do.(be president)
if you think he droped the ball for the last 4 years just wait till you see what he does if he's given 4 more years.

what is "just fine" ? I'm too old to settle for just fine, I have a family to take care of and "just fine" in the last four years has led to lay off's at work, less hours worked,gas at almost $5.00 a gallon,the housing market is still at a all time low,the unemloyment level is a nightmear,business are still moving over sea's, the national bebt has raised $6 trillion...and there are some people that want to give Obama 4 more friggin years ???wtf ? we need to fire his lame ass a.s.a.p ! (same old promices and same old crap...hope and change my ass)
no offence G under P but I've had enough of this obama crap it's time to give someone else a shot at it and if they can't do any better then we need to fire their ass also !....btw good morming

Some of you really make me laugh. That one of your tried and testest "gut feelings" is it? Care to back it up with atleast some fact.
Talk about not attempting to understand the issue and instead throw up something like the above point. Like how does that even come close to furthering a debate?
I get the feeling I may aswell be asking toddlers for their opinions on the thread matter :fp:

lost the new great job as the company reduced headcount due to the crappy economy.
have an ok job, same company, same $, but no security and not the work I want to do at all.
Not to mention the several months of stress wondering if I would have a job at all. So, even though economically I am the same, in reality, it is much much worse and closer to the ledge.
Then again, I think we should elect a president for one 8 year term only. This election nonsense makes sure that we don't have anything solved for 50% of the time.
EDIT: maybe one 6 year term...8 making me nervous after I typed it!!!

I like one 6 year term but I gotta tell ya I think Obama could really screw things up in six years.
That's the point, genius. No one can prove you wrong. If you think your football team "should" win because they are playing for the best cause and their players are the most noble. That's not something someone's going to change.
All I'm saying to you is: it's not a fucking football game - grow up. Both teams suck. I can understand why one would favor one side - but you act like it's the "good" vs. the "evil" - 24/7. It's nauseating. This post has your name written all over it:
To conclude, please come to grips with the fact that your beloved Democratic Party is not benevolent. Sure - one can prefer them, even say they are the lesser of two evils or say their ideology falls in line most with their own. But, to act like they are holy or something of that sort is not only ignorant, it's repugnant. They are a fucking political party - they are not the product of a demigod. If you finally come to recognize this, perhaps people could actually have a conversations with you without thinking your the most partisan human on MT.
