Bin Laden is dead, and our embassies are burning, and envoys are dead. Now we have an obvious cover up, and none of the Obamabots seem to care.

GM is alive because we saved them with taxpayer money while being held at gunpoint. The Unions FORCED the government to bail them out, or else! WE didn't want to bail out the too big to fail, but were given no choice. They should have gone through bankruptcy the same way Chrysler did in the early eighties.

The good that Obama has done is far outweighed by the bad. When, after fours years, you can only list the accomplishments on your fingers... I'd say he has failed with a comet asterisk.

No matter who wins blame will be thrown at the President and past President/s,just the nature of forums and todays political mosaic .
Expect Obama to be blamed for everything for the next generation.If Romney wins expect him to fail miserably at living up to his promises. So we'll have lots blame to throw about on the Forum for the foreseeable future.

So you see, not EVERY President is a failure. I know Jimmy Carter was not popular with 18 per cent inflation, but , today has become a popular exPresident. He has done a lot for the less fortunate With Habitat for Humanities .
lolol

OK, then.

People expect problems to be solved like a 30 minute tv program.

There are known unknowns like our former SOS told us.

What did anybody think was going to happen when we invaded Iraq? This war in the ME is not going away for 3 or 4 generations. Think northern Ireland. The USA military is going to continue to say we need more of everything.

If the government had let the car companies go into bankruptcy, what would the pension liability have been? What would the unemployment insurance cost have been?

IMO, we need to have some long range planning in Congress. They don't gave a damn what happens past their next election cycle.

Our system of government presumes that people are well intentioned. We are living with the result of everybody being out for themselves and to hell with the rest of the country. No POTUS can fix that.

Romney would do a crappy job...not much unlike Obama and Bush...simply because of 3 reasons...

The Fed
The CIA
and the IRS

We can change this by voting for a 3rd party instead of the corrupt D and R parties!

Right, I mean correct, who would have thought that dubya's administration would ignore the terrorist warning signals, cut taxes for the upper 5%, and got the USA into 2 wars, which we can't pay for.

Obama is Commander-In-Chief....He could have ended one of those two wars Bush initiated...

But he didn't.....in fact, he is still fighting it! And he is starting another!!!
