Some of the most depressing presidential choices of all time.

But none are as depressing as the current office holder, so all are an improvement.

Yes, in a strange twist it is only the "blind" that can see that the emperor is actually not wearing his purported new clothes.

Obama is turning out to be a very good president. Much better foreign policy than Bush, has done much to restore our respect in the world. Pulled us out of Iraq, killed bin Laden, trying to keep the hawks from trying to blow up the middle east again. Has done the most for veterans of any president in the past 50 years (education, homelessness, PTS, etc) Has shifted the tide to get us in more favorable trading positions relative to China. Changed energy policy, our oil importation is lowest ever (43% from foreign sources), we now net export oil. Saved the auto industry, and as a condition of bailout cars will be getting 50+ mpg within a few years, cutting every single families gasoline expenditures in half within 10 years. Finally passed the Republican health care plan from the 1990's (improved health care something every President has tried to obtain for American people since before Nixon) which will lead within about 5 years to a strong single payer, decreased costs for everyone, better care and access. Has extended Medicare lifetime by 10 years with healthcare plan, too. Saved us billions. Got rid of No Child Left Behind, trying to renew our tattered school system failures and get us back up in the top twenty of educated countries in the world. Has saved us billions in government costs with reforms to college education loans. Has the only budget plan, out of all current presidential candidates, that actually decreases our debt over time.

All against a 100% obstructive alternative party who has publicly stated it's only goal is to make this president fail.

A party who, in two years of overwhelming control of the House, has done nothing to help this countries economic and job outlook, while passing record numbers of anti-abortion bill after anti-abortion bill.

Well done, Mr. President, I'll be proudly voting for you again in 2012. And we'll give you an overwhelmingly Democratic/Independent House and Senate so you can continue to pull this country into the 21st century against the will of those that want to return us to the 1700's.

Yes, all the emotional five-year-olds can't do more politically than throw tantrums and call names. Yet we let them vote. Even the "I'm an anarchist!" ones <vbg> (who can't seem to do more politically than throw rocks through windows and start confrontations. Seems there's a lesson there ... )

America. Gotta love it.

i don't know whether to laugh or cry after reading this



I guess laugh, because I find it hilarious how some people can LOVE Obama and absolutely HATE Bush when they have had the EXACT SAME Presidentcies!

Oh, I laugh and/or cry when I read your political assessements, too

No, not "exactly" the same, but yes, certainly some things Obama is the same (or even more "Bushian") than Bush.

Not all people look at politics as starkly black and white, "my team vs your team" manner. That's what is destroying this country, and why our current Congress is useless. Too much polarization.

There's plenty I don't like about Obama, but far more I do like - a lot. But to think he's the same as Santorum, Gingrich or Romney is not true in the least. All three of those guys have "typical GOP" financial plans and platforms that would repeat the Bush financial disaster, throwing our country into massively deeper debt.

Santorum is just a religious zealot who has no place in the current political discourse (he couldn't even get on the ballot in some Ohio counties, he's so disorganized in his "run for President"): see Howard Finemans "The Republican Party is the first American Religious Party" editorial of a day or so ago.

Yeah and everyone knows the military has been treated marvelously the past 50 years with false flag attacks like the Gulf of Tonkin, Iran-Contra, etc.

Why Jesus? Why have you made such a stupid cu.nt of a person?

Pure propaganda and utter horsesh.it not worth debunking.

Medicare Supplement premiums skyrocketing. Seniors stuck with plans before the modernization act receiving annual increases between 10% to 30% and can't get on a modernized plan due to underwriting.
Two years of no raise on their social security checks.
Brilliant!

Yet Americans still suck at education on a phenomenally epic level and still will in 10 years.



You are the worst person on Earth.
