There is no excuse for the $5.5 trillion in new debt over the last four years. Or for the 23 million people struggling for work. Or for the record number of Americans living in poverty. We all know this cat is one and done.

It is true...
Obama backers don't seem to want to hear just how bad things are...
they can't cause they are going to rehire no matter how bad it is.
:wtf:
So, you would rather be losing 750,000 jobs per month instead of gaining 125,000-200,000?
You would rather be dealing with a recession where 8.5 million jobs were lost, instead of a recovery where 5 million have been regained?
"Excuses":
1. Republicans in Congress: "It is our main goal to make President Obama a one-term president"
2. Failed Republican trickle-down policies in effect for 12 years: where are the jobs?
3. Wall St. is doing very well--Nasdaq hit record highs this year, DOW near pre-Recession levels, S&P projected to hit record levels by the end of the year
4. CEO pay is UP; middle-class pay is down. The same trend for 30 years. Where are the jobs due tot he Republican policies?
5. 93% of all income gained since the recession has gone to the top 1%. WAIT for the trickle-down, peasants. WAIT!
6. Oh yeah---a recession that began under a Republican administration
7. Oh yeah--TWO WARS
8. Cry baby multi-millionaire/multi-billionaireCEOs: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=196650&hilit=+super
Excuses.....just excuses
that's funny the part about one term President. That is always the goal of both parties.
I thought you were an Independent? I have only seen blue on you,
what's up with that?
I'm still laughing at usamamasan1 using the word "intolerant."

Hey I see so much intolerance from some of the blues here,

It's their way or no way... yeah that's tolerant alright :?

You know I never liked that word, it implies their is something to be tolerant of,
like the one tolerating is superior when actually we are all equals.
Rubs me the wrong way. Yes I said rub
I prefer using the word understanding myself and I work towards that.
I don't see a lot of blues being understanding I would have to say.

"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
WASHINGTON, D.C., October 11, 2012, (The Heritage Foundation)—As summer faded to fall, a Chicago alderman’s fury toward Chick-fil-A finally seemed to be cooling. But fall is fickle in the windy city, and Proco Joe Moreno once again is threatening to stall the chicken chain from opening in his ward.
Moreno, Mayor Rahm (“Chicago Values”) Emanuel and other big-city officials piled on Chick-fil-A after Dan Cathy, the company’s president and COO, publicly supported the biblical definition of marriage. As they were soon reminded, though, for a public official to deny a business license because of the businessman’s marriage views would amount to unlawful discrimination against his viewpoints.
Sadly, controversies such as the one that Moreno’s overblown comments helped create grow more frequent, and Chick-fil-A is only the most visible target. Advocates for “tolerance” increasingly push traditional ideas on marriage, family, life and faith out of public life.
In June, sociologist Mark Regnerus at the University of Texas-Austin, became the target of a blogosphere blaze of character assassination.
His offense? Regnerus constructed a nationally representative data set of 3,000 young adults and produced a study. It found that young people whose parents had same-sex relationships fared worse in key aspects of life compared to those from intact biological families. Never mind that his critical reviewers had judged the report an improvement over previous studies. Regnerus, like Chick-fil-A, was accused of being “anti-gay.”
The journal Social Science Research which published his study came under attack. A complaint to the university prompted a “scientific misconduct inquiry.” The journal did an internal audit to dispel the aura of scandal spread by critics of the study’s findings looking for fault with the process. These inquiries exonerated Regnerus and the journal—but only after their credibility took a beating from the intolerant forces of tolerance. That sent a chilling message to other scholars and editors: Think twice before investigating and publishing on similar topics.
Note the pattern of the intolerant forces of tolerance: Liberals pick a social policy fight and then frame the victim as culture war aggressor, while pitching themselves as peaceniks. Americans must not be cowed by such tactics into shuffling toward a secularist winter where public support for marriage and institutional religious freedom in matters of conscience become intolerable. Authentic tolerance is vitally important.
On August 15, a young man walked into the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C., and fired three shots, wounding building manager Leo Johnson in the arm before being wrestled to the floor. According to authorities, the gunman said something about not liking the council’s politics. He carried 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches and 50 rounds of ammunition in his knapsack.
Groups across the political spectrum condemned the violent act. Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank suggested more, though. He argued that the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center, among others, had been “reckless” in labeling the conservative council a “hate group”—and so implying the research and education organization is outside the pale of legitimate debate.
This summer, long lines of Chick-fil-A patrons similarly rebuked the intolerance of Chicago’s Moreno and Emanuel. The freedom to uphold “Chick-fil-A values” continues to draw wide support. The City of Broad Shoulders – indeed, every town in America – ought to have room for those values. They represent the very principles on which this nation was built. Surely even those who don’t celebrate them can tolerate them.

The Heritage Foundation....hmmm....they can spin a heritage of hate into one of "tolerance."
why are the massachusetts and even salt lake city major newspapers (the salt lake tribune is the largest mormon owned paper) shunning romney and going with obama?
In what alternate universe would the Boston Globe endorse a Republican for President? And in 2012 how is a newspaper endorsement indicative of anything? I'm no Romney supporter, but sheesh. Your elbows must be sore from the pom poms.
did you put the mitt siticker over your other stickers of donald trump, rick perry, herman cain, michele bachmann, and rick santorum, all of whom you supported before romney, or did you peel all of them off each time you changed your preferences??

But then you know this already, even if you have a problem accepting the truth and prefer instead to indulge in fantasies, and 'facts' gained from Conservative news sources, and wacky Youtube clips.

It cracks me how some people who label themselves conservative have a problem with Prius (or should I say, Prii?) The Prius is much more conservation oriented than, say, a Ford F250. Conservatives should love the Prius- the best car out there for conserving non-renewable resources. In fact, one of the most (politically) conservative people I know drives a Prius. He's no fool- he knows gas will just keep going up.
no no no prius or prii restrict my ability to rape the earth of resources. it doesnt allow me to guzzle gas and that surely is my divine right as an american. it also doesnt allow me take full advantage of the private ownership of the worlds resources... which is of course is my reason for getting out of bed in the morning. so i wont be driving a prius... stop trying to change me... what are you brian some sort of tree hugging hemp wearing socialist???

Are We Better off Now Than We Were Four Years Ago?
A question has been put forward that has the Obama administration struggling to answer. “Are we better off now than we were four years ago?” What seems like a simple question that is asked of any politician seeking re-election seems to be a stumbling block for President Obama and his campaign. Over the next few months the campaign will try to craft and spin an answer to that question while ignoring the reality. Here are just a few of the facts that should not be overlooked.
National Debt Bush Administration and Wall St. caused this
2009: 10.6 Trillion
Now: 16 Trillion
Food Stamps Bush Administration caused this
2009: 32.2 million people enrolled
Now: 46.2 million people enrolled
Unemployment
2009: 7.8%
Now: 8.3% Must be older figures but now its 7.8% again so it tells me things are headed in the right direction because of Obama
Median Household Income Again Bush Administration and Wall St. caused this
2009: $54,983
Now: $50,964
Gas Prices The POTUS has zero control over this
2009: $1.85
Now: $3.80
I have been reading all of these threads and initially did not want to contribute my opinion since it doesn't really matter anyway but I feel strongly that the American people deserve to know the facts. Bias news organizations are the real problem, regardless of the side they are on that is why I try not to watch American news. If you watch Canadian news you can see the difference for yourself. It is unbiased and does not "drill for fear to make the job simple", it just reports what is really happening.
That is all.
EDIT: Oh and F4F and Usamawatever, I know you sound like children but your opinions make you sound like 90 yr olds. Get with the 21st century and take the racist, homophobic, sexist, red neck thinking to your trailer and keep it to yourselves. I AM DONE now.
Unemployment
2009: 7.8%

Actually.. it's even worse than that.
Those numbers are reversed.
In 2009 it was 8.3% and NOW it's 7.8%.
That's how the right does it. They "accidentally" mix up numbers and make up look like down and good look like bad.
Like how every single time a Republican gets arrested for tax evasion, drunk driving or blowing a policeman in a public washroom, Fox "news" puts a big "D" next to his name.
