0bama blew it at the outset with his so-called "stimulus plan" which was in reality a payback to his rich benefactors - that's why he keeps trying to blame the past and futhre presidents.
You righties are despicable. I could understand your attitude if you had helped vote Bush/Cheney out after the worst 4 years of any presidency. Now you have the unmitigated gall to blame this administration for the sorry state our country is in. Please. Let me have your credit cards for 8 years and I'll dig you a Bush/Chenian hole so deep it would take you a hundred years to dig out of. You "patriots" wanted to cut taxes with absolutely no regard for the huge military expenses our country was beginnning to ring up during Bush/Cheney. Do you know what compound interest is? What traitorous,greedy hypocrites you are. Turn off your Fox "News". Do you think Rupert Murdoch has America's interest at heart? Or pill poppin' former DJ Rush Limbaugh cares about anything more than his bank account, and who he'll take for his 5th wife after (not when) he dumps #4.
Why are you "lefties" always the first to try and curtail someone's right to free speech? Why are you so bitter? We are talking about Obama, how did Murdoch and Limbaugh get into the conversation. All you people can do is try and blame everyone else for Obama's failures.You think if you spread enough mud and filth around, the people won't see the true Obama. Lets play the blame game, it doesn't take any intelligence. Oh yeah, by the way, you're not getting my credit card. Spend your own money.
It's as if we flushed our Chicago political toilet in '08 and the waste ended up in the White House - be right back; I gotta hit the can and drop an 0bama.
Eleanor - I could not have said it better myself! The middle class will be reduced to the lower class under Romney/Ryan. How a woman can vote for them is beside me.
Chuck you stink! Your stupid cartoons are the reasons I watch far and blanced news. Your stupid cartoons also are lies that put impressions in uninformed peoples heads. The patch I see never makes a mean cartoon about Obama and his rediculous presidency, but you sure do advertise his fundraisers and his silly birthday parties. You know he is just in the White House for the party!! Every time I turn on the patch Obamas face pops up. I am sick of it and I am sickened by your pethetic cartoon. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You would do well in the communist party, kissing your favorite canidates behind!!
I say lets hold Obama to his own words, :If I don't fix the problems in 4 years, then
I should be a one term president. Well, nothing has improved & he certainly has no
solutions. Believe me, I'm no big fan of Bush-Cheney even though I am a "despicable rightie". As described by a name calling leftie. I have a lot more faith in Romney-Ryan, then the empty suit occupying the White House now & dragging us down further!
And just to clarify Brian, never have & never will see the greatness you see in Obama Proud to say I didn't make the mistake of ever voting for him. Saw right through
him from the beginning, useless........
Obama is our national nightmare. He and his plagiarizing second banana must be voted out of office for good of our country. We owe it to our children,our future.
Chuck I've seen some idiots in my day, but you top the cake I'm a self employed general contractor who worked my ass off for 38 .... try getting a real job !!!!!!!!!!! Go Mitt
@ SS Native
Obama's idols are the Reverend Wright and Allah. The Rev.Wright is a hateful racist that despises Caucasians Americans and refers to them as Devils, and Barry was one of his followers for 20+ years. Allah sends followers out to kill the supposed Infidels-ie: anyone that's not Muslim and Barry Was involved in that Religion. So what's your point?
The Romney/Ryan solution? More of the same failed policies of deregulation that got us in this economic mess and more huge tax cuts for the top 2% that didn't create jobs, at least not in this country. Romney knows all about moving jobs to 3rd world countries and Ryan wants to shut down Medicare and Social Security and give that money to billionaires in tax cuts. Anyone who votes for these guys and more "Trickle Down" disaster has been brainwashed.
If you want "trickle down" that's what this fool 0bama tried with his phony stimulus back in '09 - pay off his rich benefactors with our tax dollars and letting them trickle it down to theguy replacing the bulb in a streetlight. That's how 0bama has driven unemployment over 2% highre than it would be had he done nothing.
here is a recent example of the White House Shipping jobs over seas...
..White house spending 20-50 Million on solar projects in Africa.
Why not here?
How many USA jobs are lost by that work, installation and production being done overseas??
I'm really tired of the blame game..
Don't over estimate your President...He is very good at shipping jobs overseas!
It's such an apt quote----"A member of the middle class voting for Mitt is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders" The same thing is going to happen to you that happens to those chickens!!!!
Well Vicky, that's because I wasn't there supporting Chick-Fil-A. I think gay people should have the same rights as you do.I don't think they should be blocking the building of the restaurant however. But what does that have to do with the battle between the rich who will get richer and the poor who will get poorer if Mitty has his way?
I think you have contacted the bird flu & its affected your brain with this stupid
Colonel Sanders line you keep repeating. Time to let it go. Yeah, vote for the incompetent incumbent who has kept us at 42 consecutive months of an 8 plus
unemployment rate, never passed a budget, entitlements up the wazoo & on & on.
Quit blaming the past administration, time to lead & solve the problems & your guy
has failed miserably.
We will take back every house and property for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. The American people will become a nation of renters.....even though they paid for EVERYTHING....We will have a Rent A Center of America. The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT should not have to pay US back .....ever.!
Tt's for sure and we won't be renewing this 0bama's lease on the White House - send him packing to retirement in Hawaii where he can play golf and count his money while smoking two packs a day.
Lets talk facts here. What has this Administration accomplished? Bailouts, Blame and Obamacare. No thanks to Valerie Jarret, Obama gave the go ahead to kill Bin laden. 1 point. We now have the highest deficit, most on welfare and disability EVER. Your four years are up. Time to move on. Does anyone note the likeness from our nation and the State of Illinois? They are both broke and it is not Bush's fault anymore. Barack. Axelrod, Emmanuel and Geitner it is all yours! Oh and Quinn too. You are not part of the solution you ARE the problem. I'd rather take my chances with Col. Sanders. At least he knows how to run a business.!
Exactly, Romney a smart pro-business guy & a numbers wizard genius.

Wake up! Politicians tell you (the you they care about in that moment) what they think or their advisors think you want to hear. Neither presidential candidate cares about you. They do not care about much, except getting elected. For those of you who blame President Obama for not doing more, well we have a system of checks and balances that limits the power of the executive office. He campaigned on healthcare reform and he got it done. It is not as great as I would have liked it to be, but it is more than any other president has done in forty years. He campaigned on getting us out of Iraq - done. He even took out Bin Laden. Do I think he has done enough? No, I did expect more, but the fact that some deny that he has done anything is just inaccurate. The fact is that Obama is not to blame for our current state of the union. Bush is also not completely to blame, although he didn't help matters. Our downward spiral began with terrible trade policies with China and unfair tax laws that benefit the power elite and obviously do not trickle down. We were sold out and neither the repubs or dems are going to fix it because they are both more rich and powerful than we regular folks will ever be. They want to get elected and they will promise anything to reach that end. What all politicians love is when we begin arguing amongst ourselves about the wrong things.
I overheard three college age kids talking at the grocery store yesterday.
Heard them say, "Man, Bush was bad but Obama has really made things worse."
