President Obama

[waterdog101]

I can't wait until the Presidential and VP debates start up....One thing in particular I hope that is brought up is Obama's College grades and any and all info pertaining to his years at Columbia University.....Open up those sealed College records and show the United States that you did trully go to Columbia and actually graduated from Columbia and then wenton to Harvard and got your Law degree, as you have stated that you did.

wouldn't it be something, if he ends up being a high school dropout, and was smart enough to make it all the way to the top, and top being the President of the USA. without any collage education at all.

Naw he is smart no one can take that from him. I dislike him as much or more than any human but I give him credit on his political savvy and brains. He is a man who knows his place in this world. His dark skin and intelligence has opened up many doors to him. He is smart enough to know how to use that to his advantage. Anyone who says he isn't intelligent is a fool. Racist thinking?? Naw just keeping it real.

I think a LARGE portion of him being elected was his dark skin. Folks wanted that and the Libs pushed that so hard it was out of control. His election team is top notch! They have it all figured out...if you don't like him your a racist, if you don't like his policies your a racist, if you don't like him reaching out to the black voters or minorities your a racist. If you like anyone running against him and they are white your a racist. Add a major change in a campaign by using social media and putting a direct conduit to colleges and young impressionable minds and you have a win.

I'm happy that crap is over with. Now maybe people can judge a leader based on experiences he or she has had. Think about this..... What mega corporation would hire someone with no experience at all to lead their company? I mean the only experience he has is questionable remarks on his resume, attended hate church and has had ties with some very questionable people. Mega powerful/responsible positions require a solid history. I don't know......maybe my disgust with his playing the race card and being a phony has tainted my thinking?? Lol just a bit!!

I honestly think his campaign team are failing him. Come to think about it, they only have one victory vs an opponent.
Its starting to show how weak a moderate mclame candidate the last gop nominee was.

Since Ryan is an avid angler, i can't help but think they are letting them take the bait
I think you know what happens next!!

Romney/Ryan for the children!!!!!

[Whitebass]

Man Ryan is goin to eat Biden up and spit him out like a Cherry pit in the Debates.....

I'll gladly cast my vote for the Republican ticket come November.........

you could be right about alot of the people that voted for him. and he got my vote, but not for the color of his skin, he got my vote because he was on the ticket across from the George Bush regime. I would have voted for Jessie Jackson after what Bush did to this country. and I like Jessie about as much as you do Obama.

In your opinion what did GW do that was so out there? Economy?

everything that happened to cause the economy to collapse under Bush wasn't his direct fault, Bush or any other President can't control every thing. but when you are the Man at the top. you get credit or blame for what ever happens. and he did things that I disagree with, he started two wars, and cut taxes that reduced revenue while needing money to pay for funding the wars. The tax cuts had been largely opposed by American economists, including the Bush administration's own Economic Advisement Council.^[12] In 2003, 450 economists, including ten Nobel Prize laureate, signed the Economists' statement opposing the Bush tax cuts, sent to President Bush stating that "these tax cuts will worsen the long-term budget outlook... will reduce the capacity of the government to finance Social Security and Medicare benefits as well as investments in schools, health, infrastructure, and basic research..In terms of increasing inequality, the effect of Bush's tax cuts on the upper, middle and lower class is contentious. Some economists argue that the cuts have benefited the nation's richest households at the expense of the middle and lower class. and the oil prices sky rocketed under Bush, 30.00 per barrel when he took control, and 150.00 per barrel when he left office.and he gave the richest people in the world, a Tax Holiday on money earned from jobs they shipped overseas. if he had made them pay the tax on it, other company's thinking of sending jobs overseas might look at it different. During the George W. Bush administration, the federal government spending was increased from $1789 billion to $2983 billion (70%) but the revenues were only increased from $2025 billion to $2524 billion (from 2000 to 2008). Individual income tax revenues were increased by 14%, corporate tax revenues by 50%, customs and duties by 40%. Discretionary defense spending was increased by 107%, discretionary domestic spending by 62%, Medicare spending by 131%, social security by 51%, and income security spending by 130%. Cyclically adjusted, revenues rose by 35% and spending by 65%. ^[3]Also proportionally Bush increased government spending more than any predecessor since LBJ in my opinion, Bush wasn't a very good President. but everyone has an opinion and some loved him.

And look where we are now. But that's Obama's fault; by now he should have undone the damage that Bush did.

Obama is a nice guy, he could have fixed the economy real quick. but he wants to please everyone even the Republicans. so he fixed the economy so it would " TRICKLE " down to the 99%
I know, I know that was mean. but I couldn't help it.

I swear some people on this board have got their head so far up their 4th point of contact. It's unbelieveable in their way of thinking about the POTUS......

[Aquaman]

Why are dems so fixed on blaming the countries problems on Bush instead of trying to fix it? King Osama Obama has spent his entire presidency telling us how bad this county is right now and blaming it on Bush... yet he has done nothing... NOTHING to remedy that.

How nieve do you really have to be to think that all the problems we have right now are caused by one president? Did he make mistakes... definatly... did he single handedly cause the problems we are facing now? No.
But it seems like you can blame Bush for just about anything. Bad credit,global warming, the recession, Opra quiting her own show, bad breath, beer gut, poor luck fishing, runny nose, ugly girlfriend? BLAME IT ON BUSH!

Some folks are liberal to the core man. This potus could be convicted of a federal crime and folks would still defend him. It's sad....
