It's amazing that the people who call Obama a failure are mainly pissed that he's accomplished a lot of what he said he was going to accomplish.

And also completely lied about a lot of other stuff.

Such as?

[LickNeckey]

Getting Republicans to work in a non-partisan manner.

Totally lied about that.

[Stevesie60]

If the Republicans wanted a president, they should have found someone better than Romney.

Getting Republicans to work in a non-partisan manner.

Totally lied about that.

Iraq war, Afghan war, Gitmo, transparency in gov(major lol), Patriot Act and NDAA sort of go against his "hope and change" thing, drug war, extension of Bush foreign policy and monetary policy, etc.

Just minor lies your know.

Yeah it's quite sad.

[LickNeckey]

Iraq War?

[p1k3]

Iraq War?

Yeah. There's still 1000s of private military contractors in the country.

[michigancat]

Didn't close guantanomo, and his overall human rights record is pretty terrible.

Laugh out rough ridin' loud that Obama has the same foreign policy as Bush.
Monetary policy isn't a horrible point if you don't understand how the US sets policy and it doesn't occur in an executive branch vacuum.

Gitmo is a failure of naivety .

Gitmo is a failure of naivety .

1. Yes. It is an extension of Bush's foreign policy and can be summed up like this: Bomb Arabs On|Off

2. This is also the same. If Bush really is "right" and Obama is considered "left" then you would think they would appoint polar opposite Chairmen to the Federal Reserve. This has not been the case. Our monetary policy is just: Print On|Off. And has been for years.

3. Maybe so, but still an F.

[Brock Landers]

He'd better hurry if he still plans to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term.

Nobody could fix this mess in 4 years!

Here's what I find hilarious; Every Republican I know doesn't even think Mitt is a great candidate.  crap, even every talk show hosts, except for dipshits like Laura Ingram, will admit he's not a great candidate.  They're just voting for "not Obama"  There is a very passionate group of eligible voters that the republican party could made a tremendously HUGE power grab at by just nominating Ron Paul.

The republican party with Ron Paul, would have had All of the "not Obama" people voting republican, All of the libertarians voting republican, All of the Green Party voting republican, All of the grass roots people voting republican, a substantial portion of the over 40% people that just don't give a crap about voting because they don't see a difference between the two candidates voting republican, and a slew of religious pro-life/anti-gay democrats voting republican.

Would have been a rough ridin' landslide victory for the republicans - and a sure defeat of Obama.  But apparently, defeating Obama isn't THE MOST IMPORTANT thing.

Are you sure there are a slew of religious, pro-life, anti-gay democrats? If so, they sound like terrible people.

I think this is about as common as a unicorn.

I want to add on this



Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are puppets to the Bilderberg Group. You can deny it all you want but its something that is very very real and its quite scary. But yet we still remain docile about the topic. You would think if your elected officials were discussing AMERICAN POLICY behind closed doors with an incredible amount of secrecy you would be upset with that. I mean they are clearly violating The Logan Act.....but yet we still let them make decisions without any transparency whatsoever. Its disgusting!

I stand with Jesse Ventura. We should abolish all political parties. No more gangs in government. Our founding fathers even said political parties are dangerous to the USA.

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under it leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble opinion, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." --John Adams

"A pure democracy . . . can admit no cure for the mischiefs of faction . . . . There is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party . . . . Hence it is that such democracies have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been a short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." --James Madison
