The President has spent us into oblivion. And he has no desire to stop.

Obama is out of control.


Everything Barack does is political. In the best interest of his re-election, rather than in the best interest of the country.


Why would anyone re-elect him?
You're making the flawed assumption that the President is 100% responsible for the unemployment rate.

The spending started well before Obama took office. TARP I passed without him in office if you remember.

Nope. But some of us understand that our country has checks and balances so that our president can't just enact whatever policies he pleases, they have to go through Congress. Next, some of us understand that the government can only do so much to spur the economy. Lastly, the Republicans have some pretty weak candidates so I can see a good reason why Obama could possibly get re-elected.

Personally, I just wish an intelligent candidate with the balls to stand up to Washington's crony capitalism would emerge. Neither party seems to have any of those lately.

What's in everyone's wallet will determine this election.

Obama just turned down 20,000 Keystone pipeline jobs - and all the while preaches that America can't wait. Through executive order ( around Congress ) Obama tells us that "He will do everything possible to bring back jobs".

Well, I guess he lied. Again.


Because Barack is an idiot - America just lost 20,000 jobs.
and the price of gasoline for Americans will soon be 5 bucks a gallon as Canada says the hell with you and sells ALL of it's excess oil to China...enjoy!!!

dragging your feet can get very expensive!!!

Better candidate or better President.

All Obama wants to do is waste taxpayer money.

You already believe it, how is this a question asked with an open mind?

So, it dropped by 30k that quick because...well who knows why?

Compared to the varied numbers (20k to 1 million +) jobs created (http://www.hulu.com/watch/300190/the-colbert-report-mon-nov-14-2011#s-p1-so-i0 - broken link)...

As stated there, the number of jobs created in the only study that trans-canada did not fund...0 jobs would be created.

Ooops, reality came knocking and found your argument wanting.

Hate? The OP didn't say that he hated him, so get a grip.
It seems that liberals are quick to use that word when they can't justify why Obama should be re-elected. And no, I don't hate Obama. He seems like a nice guy who's just way in over his head.

You do know that it takes two clicks to view some one's posting history?

Take a gander at the OP's, in the first 3 pages it's really pretty humorous.

George W was the country's biggest divider. He also spent a lot of $$, even when the economy was doing much better. As far back as I can remember, ALL US Presidents have always had their re-election campaigns 24-7. why should Obama be any different? The economic mess will take a while to fix, with much beyond Obama's control. Obama can't control the European economy, which is dragging us down simultaneously. Even though I'm a Dem, I just don't see that any of the Repub candidates can do any better than what Pres Obama is doing. in fact, we need a Dem congress to get things in faster motion.

I did as you suggested. I didn't see any evidence of hate. Perhaps I missed something. Which post did you find hateful?
