Speak for yourself. I'm quite happy with Obama.

Especially compared to the Mad Max full-depression third-world wasteland we'd be living in under McCain-Palin.

The report was written by the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors, a group of three economists who were all handpicked by Obama, and it chronicles the alleged success of the “stimulus” in adding or saving jobs. The council reports that, using “mainstream estimates of economic multipliers for the effects of fiscal stimulus” (which it describes as a “natural way to estimate the effects of” the legislation), the “stimulus” has added or saved just under 2.4 million jobs — whether private or public — at a cost (to date) of $666 billion. That’s a cost to taxpayers of $278,000 per job.

In other words, the government could simply have cut a $100,000 check to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the “stimulus,” and taxpayers would have come out $427 billion ahead.

All sides agree on these incriminating numbers — and now they also appear to agree on this important point: The economy would now be generating job growth at a faster rate if the Democrats hadn’t passed the “stimulus.”

Good for you. The majority of the country thankfully is not.

Looks like $86 million others for Obama
$18 million for Romney
$4.2 million for Pawlenty
$2.5 million for Cain (alot of that from himself)
$1.4 million for Palin, who, it has been revealed today, spent PAC money on her "personal vacation" bus tour

Better not let him know that. He'll have it spent/wasted by dinner tonight.

Zig, the only possible thing in the entire world that Obama can do to make Riot dislike him is put an (R) next to his name.

LOL - yeah, your blanket statement works, if we just ignore the times I've said I've not liked something Obama has done.

Obama is pretty centrist. He's not far from an old-fashioned (R) now. The Republicans today yes, indeed, do suck compared to the Republicans of yesteryear. They have moved so far off to the right they are a mere shell of their former party.

Then don't vote? Run yourself? Pick another candidate?

This is America. You are allowed to have your own opinion. Others are going to disagree with you. Get over it.

get over what? i always vote, i did pick another candidate. it's funny you tell me to get over it, when it's all just discussion anyway-which i understand we're all free to have, aren't we?

and no, i'm not happy with obama. i don't call him a disgrace, or the countless other disparaging titles i've seen on here. i also freely admit when he does something i agree with, such as his ideas on pell grants a few months back. i thought getting rid of dadt was a great idea-but he seems to be back-pedaling on that, which i think is a shame.
as for his spending, his ideas are right there. he seems to be doing the d.c. two step on that as well as his dadt maneuvers. but then, i've been a harsh critic of the republicans as well. i'm not quite sure what you're deal is about my statements-i think i'm pretty fair-and broad-minded on these issues.
