Your president is a failure. I'm sorry you don't appreciate Rubio pointing it out.

As I recall, it was GWB who was president who came into office with a budget deficit, and left with a 1.2 Trillion deficit, while the current projection is down to 966 million. And of course, the only people in DC talking about forcing the government to default on it's debt payments (ie. to be a deadbeat) is the Tea Party wing of the GOP.

I live in Miami and have watched the golden boy, Rubio, ascend to the heaven of Washington, D.C. - believe me, he does have inflated opinion of his importance in the scheme of things.

You believe OUR President is a failure. I don't agree, but it's OK, that's the way we do things here.

Is this a great country or what??

Unfortunately, Rubio can't be president someday. He's not a natural born Citizen and not eligible for Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution. His parent's weren't U.S. citizens when he was born. They became U.S. citizens in 1975. He's just a 14th Amendment statutory citizen.

However, they have the luxury of supporters who don't care what they do, so long as they aren't eeee-vil Republicans. Must be nice to have no accountability from the people who mindlessly vote for you over and over and over again, no matter what your record is.
You have a lot of nerve calling Obama a failure after Bush. Trying to pin the recession on him and give credit to for the recovery (that no one would acknowledge until this week) to the House. Facts and decorum are completely absent.

You people obviously have no shame.

And which of the luminaries we are seeing in these debates is going to be a great leader?

Please. No one except a hyperpartisan conservative is going to buy this snake oil.

Obama is a reasonable, intelligent moderate who has tried to deal with a tough hand, and not too badly I'd say.

Hilarious!

Not too badly, huh? Is that what you called what he did the first two years of presidency, BEFORE the GOP won the House to stop him? Is that what you call obamacare and the FAILED $1 Trillion stimulus?

Oh, in case you didn't notice, the recession started under the democrat congress, which obama was a part.

Of course, I'm sure you think the $4.5 Trillion he's added to the debt is no big deal either.

Huh? Bush had a deficit of $450 billion. OBAMA has approximately tripled that for the last 3 years.

Obama's deficits are more than all other presidents combined.

All yes, it's all Obama's fault.

You people are too much!

Exactly who is it you're trying to fool? Me? Democrats? Independents? Dummies? Who?
