Lol!!!! When bush left office gas was 1.80 a gallon....unemployment around 7%... Our great great grandkids are going to still be paying off money Obama spent, we really should be ashamed of ourselves for doing that to them.

Gas was $1.80 a gallon after it had been $4.30 a gallon for 6 months prior to that because Bush had tanked the economy. Funny it was $1.30 a gallon when Bush took office and nearly quadurpled under his watch. The effects of a recession aren't felt for months after it the recession ends. Thats why unemployment spiked under Obama in 09. Unemployment was 4.3 % when Bush had taken office...

So 4 more years of Obama is the answer?

The Republicans didn't really bring anything better to the table this time around so if anything it's just going to be about which pill is the easiest to swallow.

Yes 4 more years of Obama is the answer. Bush effed it up for 8 years so why not? What voters fail to realize is that most things are already set in motion before the new candidate takes office so the things the new candidate proposes probably won't even take effect until he's damn near out of office. C'mon we know Bush effed lots of things up! We wouldn't even be in this position if he didn't. Obama has to take blame because he's there now. Republicans won't pass anything they feel will bring him positive recognition and we know this and why. We all vote for who we feel is the better candidate but none are perfect. Know that. I've seen some positive things and some not so positive things but that's nothing new from any candidate.This thing is not even about politics really and we in the US know it. Be real we know where the real blame lies..........My opinion but I think it has strong merit.

Obama spent more money than all previous presidents COMBINED. But the sheeple will still believe him because he's a good speaker, and support him when he takes billions of taxpayer money for a stimulus and lines the pockets of union bosses that got him elected. Republicans aren't the answer but it is definitely not Obummer.
