Obama-Economy Debate - Santa Rosa, NM

It was already tough when he inherited it

He saved us from going over the abyss. We were losing over 700,000 jobs per month at the end of GW Bush's term and now we are gaining over 200,000 per month. There is still a long way to go.

I agree kharr there are still several bumps in the road and are getting worked on to make it better.

It could've been worse.

Obama has been trying to fix the mess that was left behind his trying very hard to fix everything but his not God he still has a lot just wonder what will happen if he was to lose I will vote for him again.

There is nothing to do in this town for the people, In the past ten years I've watched this fall apart. Can't eat the fish in the Peco's river around the town becuase their toxic, Closed the theater, Park Lake is a JOKE. Built a new hospital but you need test done have togo to Vegas or Abq. Only have 2 bars in town and the COPS sit across the street waitting for you to get in your car and drive away so that they can pull you over. The other bar pays kick backs to the City Police to leave them alone. Why would a small town need a convention center ? and then that area is off limits to locals . New baseball fields only used when someone from the city is there, took my kids there to play catch on the field just to be asked to leave by the a local cop ( MATA), What the hell is he doing back here ? Have you gone down River Road to the Fish Hatchery that a joke the road should have been built all the way to the F.H. You put you life on the line if you drive or walk on it (the road). Meth House all around the Police Station. Thugs walking the streets instead of being in the (Prison) City Jail . Buildings thru out town falling apart or look like crap.West end of Route 66 needs to have fences put up around Auto Repair Shops or cleaned up.I grew up here in the 60's and 70's , Brought my Family Back to live a good life like I did , But this town has gone to the dogs. And soon as I sell my house we will be leaving the DUMP we call Santa Rosa. If the Interstate wasn't here this town would be a ghost town .

You like Obama so much, wait until you have to start paying a third to half of your take-home pay on health insurance premiums. Or are you expecting some government to pick up the tab for that too?

I got some new: both New Mexico AND the Federal government are broke.
