So far the only thing obama has been consistent on for almost 3 years is blaming Bush and the Tea Party for all of his failures...

A broken record with pits and gouges.

All he has is his millionaires and billionaires diatribe and his insinuation that anyone that disagrees with him is not doing right by their country.

Governor Perry is going to mop the floor with Obama's scrawny neck. It's going to be "ugly" in a very beautiful sort of way. Can't wait for the bell of Round 1 post-primaries. Smack-down, slap-down, ass-kicking par-excellence.

And then Obama will continue to blame others for yet another Obama failure - always someone, if not everyone, else - never the d-bag from Chicago - Obama.
See what I mean?

Let's see a show of hands....how many 2008 Obama voters read this post and decided to go Republican in 2012?

Yup, Obama is an "it wasn't me" President.

For those who may get the wrong impression, I'm a conservative who has no use whatsoever for Obama's agenda.

But the people are just as wise to the Republican game and know full well how far afield it is from the best interests of average Americans. Republican business as usual is not going to work in 2012 or anytime soon.

What's going to happen is a lot of Obama voters are going to stay home....but they most certainly know better than to trust another Republican.

I know what your saying and I can sure as hell relate

Reading cnn website - i just fit the mold of so many americans
My income used to be 50% more than it is now
My 401k has been ripped apart with little left
We are literally trapped in our house, never missed a darn payment on the house , car, insurance nothing even paid every single last medical bill

Looking at the president I had so much hope for him after all he was a fresh breeze compared to gw

My health care costs are thru the roof
i have been taxed and taxed to the wall
dont know what else to do

i have given up on the man - he and congress along with the senate are such a downer

i try everyday to keep plugging away
we are not in dire straights but i just feel i have played my part
served my country for four years
worked my aspen off for years
i actually feel as much as i have put into this nation , its time for the nation to give a little back to me

i know that sounds terrible but its the truth honestly i have paid my dues
can i just catch a break
i am not even able to refi my house because i pay the mortgage and my income just is not at the level it was
sorry to rant its just time for a change as so many of us have given and given and given
enough is enough obama
you failed me

So tax and spend doesnt work and to be honest neither did the bush tax cuts for the wealthy

really not looking to start an argument but nothing is working
we need a fiscal genius to save this country from the slippery slope we have been riding on for 11 years now

isnt everyone a little tired of the blame game the hannity vs. the matthews scenarios

the right vs. the left and on and on

What?

Did you sleep through the 1980s when Reaganomics gave us 6.5 million private sector jobs, a ten point decline of the inflation rate, the misery index cut in half, a $2.50 inflation adjusted gallon of gas and the strongest US dollar in history?

Were you out of the country for the Contract with America?

Did you miss Bush's full employment?


FYI: the only industrialized nation with a marginal corporate tax rate higher than the US is Japan (see Lost Decade).

Do you realize the effective corporate tax rate in the US is lower than most industrialized nations because our marginal rate is so high internationals take extreme measures to avoid doing anything profitable in America?

US a low-tax country, and getting lower | Jay Bookman

The higher the marginal rates go, the lower the effective rate becomes, so how high would you like marginal rates to be?
