    I'm sure they'll vote for him again, as he is still their darling. You're just called a racist if you don't agree with his policies. And no one in the mainstream press, with the exception of Fox, calls him out on his falacies. He apologizes for the US and has made us weak in the eyes of the world. He's arrogant and condescending and has never even managed a company and yet he's the leader of the free world. He spends more time golfing than any other President I've seen and I've been alive since Ike. Now we're involved in a third military conflict - this one all his - and there is no clear idea who is in charge and what the final outcome is supposed to be with the exception of Gadhaffi has to go. And now we're taking a backseat to the French? We nead a President who is proud to be an American - not ashamed of it. Don't get me started on the trainwreck called Obamacare. Yet, he'll get the Democratic nomination and all the "Nanny State" people will vote for him. Stupid is as stupid does.

        Will they.

        Silly question.

        Of course they will. I raise sheep on my property and they all follow the leader, no matter what.

        They will follow Obama to the edge of the cliff and then fall off.

        No one really want's to THINK about what they are doing.

          Our other option at the time hadn't managed a company either.

            No but there was at least a Gov. on the ticket. Not worried about that anymore. Forward looking.

              Given that bosses typically put (their personal) profit before people, are more beholden to shareholders than staff and look to cut wages and benefits before stock options & golden parachutes, maybe we really shouldn't look to put a businessperson in the White House or Congress.

                I have to disagree Hemlock.

                Even thou McCain did not have business exprience he had a lot of
                knowledge that Pres Obama does not have.

                And George W ran up the detb I know but this is just crazy what Our current Pres is doing.

                There is no way we can pay for this.

                PS, when George Bush left office on Jan 20 the price of gas was $1.65. There sure was a lot of talk about energy back then and what has been done? Nothing.

                I am and Independent. Not a Republican or Democrat. I can bitch all I want. But I'll try to be nice.

                  If bush gets credit for $1.65 gas when he left office, he can certainly be held accountable for the $4.25/gal we were paying the year prior.

                  Debt - War costs were requested and approved through emergency spending bills. As such, they were left off budget and showed national debt to be lower during the Bush administration that it actually was. That the spending for Iraq & Iran are only now being included in the fiscal statements is not necessarily something that can be levied on the current administration.

                  More debt - W's Secretary of the Treasury, Paul O'Neill, pointed out that the Bush tax cuts would result in a need for a projected 66% increase in income taxes across the board. He was thereafter fired for not toeing the party line.


                  Most of us that voted for Obama suffered no delusions that he'd clean up the mess, it was far to ingrained in the culture inside the Beltway. But our option was McCain/Palin, and there was no effing way that twit was gonna go anywhere near the big red button on my watch. That McCain would even consider her, much less take her on as a running mate, speaks volumes about his decision making.

                  Added bonus - watching all the racist, redneck, republicans come unglued when ... gasp ... a negro(!) was sworn in. Many lulz were had.

                    I feel something positive should be said about Palin. She's fun to look at. That's all.
                    I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

                        I'm not giving Bush credit for the price of gas one way or the other. It's just during the campain there was so much said about energy and nothing has been done. Just a bunch of talk. And when It gets to $5.00 a gallon I wount be blaming Obama. Lots of others will I'm sure. Point is we need to get going with the oil we have on our own soil here in the states.

                        And There was an added bonus seeing a bunch of racist,redneck republicans come unglued because of a nigro in the white house.??

                        That's kind of a racist thing to say isn't it?

                        It's ideas, not color of someone skin.

                        I would have voted for Codi Rice in a heartbeat. Or Colin Powell.

                        You being from DC must be getting kick backs from the White House. ?? LOL.

                              Really sort of in disbelief that Hilary has not made a move yet. I can't believe she would drop out for him and then put up with all of it.
