Pretty much. When Obama ran around campaigning on raising taxes, .. If that is how he thinks he's no different, I tuned him out. Every time his lips move it's a lie anyway.

Sorry guys, but Obama will be known as the greatest US President ever. Seriously.

The media and country loves this guy. The media will bend over backwards to paint him as the next messiah. Has this guy done ONE positive thing for the US? And I mean something significant, not repealling DADT or ending the war which would have been done regardless of who was President...The people love him, the media love him.. America voting him in twice just shows how much more liberal/retarded this country is getting. In 100 years from now, history will paint him as the George Washington of our time.

G(H)W Bush lowered Reagans deficits with certain tax increases.

B. Clinton had surpluses because he reversed Reagan's tax cuts for the rich.

GW Bush created deficits with his tax cuts for the rich, and with his unneeded $800 billion dollar Iraq war.


Then you say its wrong that Obama is waging war, but thats a bunch of BS. When GW Bush lied about Iraq, attacked Iraq for nothing, killed 100,000+ innocent Iraqi people, and killed 1,000's of US soldiers for nothing, I never heard a republican say a word about it.

You don't hate unjust wars you just hate Obama. But if Obama wanted supply side tax cuts you would love him, and you would not be whining about him.
You may want to actually read the US Constitution and get a clue. Congress controls the purse-strings of the nation, not Presidents. Congress creates surpluses or deficits, not Presidents. Congress raises or lowers taxes, not Presidents. Congress declares wars, not Presidents. Congress enacts the laws, not Presidents.

It is painfully obvious that you have absolutely no clue how your own government functions, which explains how Obama got elected.

Unfortunately, while I'm not fan of Obama either and certainly didn't vote for him, the sad thing is, there weren't any better alternatives, and this is too often the case.

To be dang sure, Romney was clearly not the "answer" to Obama.

To my mind, no reasonable person should ever vote for any Democrat or Republican for any national office ever.

A pandering, listless, petulant, buffoon who has led from the back of the pack his entire Presidency.

How unfortunate we are. Barack Obama was poised to be one of the great President's of our nation, and instead he will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the worst.

What a crying shame.
Must suck to be you..
Sitting around everyday spending most of your time on this forum continually telling every one how much you hate your President.At this point you've become a one trick pony as all your topics and posts are the same in content,maybe you need to get a hobby or something.
I'm a bit ashamed that people like yourself cant respect the outcome of the democratic system and instead just continually whine and bellyache for years because your side didnt win.,with your attitude expect more Republican failure in the future.

You people all need to realize politics are an illusion. Democrat, Republican, Liberal, yadayadayada.The president is a patsy for the rich bankers. War is about money. If this wasn't true we would be in so many more conflicts around the globe saving innocent people from oppression and genocide. The fact is they pick and choose strategically where and what to get involved in. If you think your free don't pay taxes and tell them you don't agree with how they are using them. Bet you find yourself in jail or with a ridiculous fine putting you more in debt which is right where they want you. The power over all people and their labor is why they want war. Just keep watching your televisions and maybe everything will be ok. Imperialism is the state were in. We are all cattle with the illusion of freedom. You can speak up just stay in the fence. Isn't funny how the war on terror gives them the right to come in your home with no warrant, tap our phones, moniter our internet, detain and torture you indefinitely. They own your land, homes, businesses, food supply, etc. Wake up people our boxes are getting smaller. Obama is a joke. Our government is a joke. They borrow money they know they can't pay back so where's the solution? More taxes, frozen wages, increased prices, everyone will eventually only be able to have as much as they say. They'll start putting us in jail for not going to work. We are all slaves. But they can't have your thoughts, ideas, and beliefs unless you let them.

Instead of crying about the "media" I would suggest you find yourself a candidate for 2016 who isn`t an idiot.
