I wish I believed that being a Republican or Democrat mattered any more - It has become a sham - Make any deal behind the scenes so you can stay in office...

Simple fact of the matter - American jobs are going overseas, American debt is going overseas and Government spending doesn't match the income.

Fire the lot of them and start fresh

Unfortunately, thats not a plausible option..theres too many people and corporations benefiting from the way things are. what needs to happen is gradual change,a change in power base. look at S&B's video..Ron Paul is this country's best hope. starting with the fact he has always maintained we need a return to a simple govt. turn it back into a REPUBLIC not the present democracy. term limits, flat tax, and ousting the "Old Guard" then perhaps my kids can have a future.

Unfortunately, that's not a plausible option either....get ready for four more years...well.....once we get all the drunken aunts and uncles out of the way.....

If Obama get 4 more years.... you all BETTER have "Bug Out" plans, a place to go...and plenty of protection. If you are not having these type conversations with family, friends, and those in your 'hood, you will be stat.

There will be a "come to Jesus" meeting taking place if this fraud stays in office.

Don't be a stat... get prepared.

Although I won't quibble with the use of the word destroy or destruction in the characterization of what's going on in the U.S. in the last decade, I'm unconvinced that we can lay the responsibility at the feet of Obama.

No, I'm going to say the Republicans are at fault, instead.

What I'm going to say is that from my perspective Obama bacame a tool of Wall Street Banks almost before inauguration and has remained one since. He carried forward the bail outs and enlarged them. He, like his predecessors, decline to stringently enforce laws that restrict banks and Wall Street. He, like his predecessors, need Wall Street money to get elected / re-elected.

He's certainly not as advertised during the campaign.

From the public record;

Barack Obama (D)

Top Contributors

This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.
Because of contribution limits, organizations that bundle together many individual contributions are often among the top donors to presidential candidates. These contributions can come from the organization's members or employees (and their families). The organization may support one candidate, or hedge its bets by supporting multiple candidates. Groups with national networks of donors - like EMILY's List and Club for Growth - make for particularly big bundlers.
