I would hope that the college kids that are done with college and finding no Jobs have caught on to this disastrous President I question if he is destroying the U.S.A. and the rest of the free world on purpose or is he ignorant Obama is not a stupid Man so I will have to say Obama is destroying the economy on purpose

Personally, I have become much more politically active and aware!
In all honesty, I was very disappointed in the quality of the Presidential candidates in 2008!
McCain seemed to 'centrist' and to willing to give way to Democrats!
Romney, well, to 'polished'!
Huckaby, to 'nice'.
Obama, to 'disingenuous'!
'Breck Boy', well, we found out about him later!
Obama's legacy is yet to be determined, but as yet, it is looking like a horrible setback for 'traditional Washington politics'!
So Obama's legacy may be a very good thing for America, but a very bad thing for his style of government!
Think about it, his administration in conjunction with this Congress have outraged Americans to such a point that we are experiencing a 'New Revolution' and the result may be a return to our 'Revolutionary Roots'!
If that is to be Obama's legacy, well, it will be wonderful for Americans, but Hell for him!
That's "Change we can believe in!"
A better America!

Looks worse this year than last. took a 60% pay cut just to feed the kids. Funny thing is, I build roads and bridges normally. Only people who received work off the stimulus was DOT employees. They received raises and created hundreds of jobs, some paying excess of 150, 000. Before obama in my state one person made 180,000 in the DOT, now 127 make 180 and up. Way to go obama, you moron!

There are a lot more jokes now, and I can use the word retard because it's OK with the president.
Also the term light enough to be president. The Magic *****. He would be OK to serve coffee. This and more funny stuff from the democrat party.

I think he is doing great. You just have to see past the republican lie fest and echo chamber. A lot of weak-minded people get all riled up by Fox News and the likes, producing a lot of misinformation and lies. These republican politicians lie and mislead the public and these people that watch them suck it up and repeat everything verbatim without researching it or questioning it.
A great example of this was the death panels comment from Palin. The echo chamber got that out and it can still be heard today even though it has been debunked.
That one in particular makes me upset, because of my personal situation with my 6 month old daughter who was born with a vascular malformation that cover 90% of her body. My family has insurance from a Catholic Hospital my wife works at (its a little better than the ins I was offered as a teacher in a public school).
The complications my child has are rare and complications can include heart failure and excessive limb growth among other things unless they are dealt with by people that know what they are doing. The insurance company has shot down multiple referrals by my doctors and forced us to go to certain specialists instead that are in our network. The problem is ... we have no choice. One laser specialist to choose from, one dermatolgist to choose from, one geneticist to choose from, and two pedeatric surgeons to choose from. Not much choice. However, the screwed up thing was NONE of them had a remote clue on how to proceed and had NEVER seen a condition like my daughters. The only answer we have gotten is that her condition is a mystery ... no known cause ... ju one of those freak things.
So when we found out about a childrens hospital in Cinncinnati that specializes in vascular malformations, we looked into it. OUr insurance said it isn't covered.
So, the insurance company (Cigna) will send us to their doctors that know NOTHING and can hardly be called specialists, but won't let us go to ACTUAL specialists that deal with this stuff. So, I ask you ... who is the REAL DEATH PANEL?
It is sad I even can say this, but fortunately, my father died back in July and his life insurance policy worth about 500K is available for us to care for our daughter. It is wrong that the insurance company is screwing us over, but at least we still have the option that a majority of americans wouldn't have if they were faced with the same problem.
So in conclusion, Cigna says my daughter has no option but to let nature run its course, regardless if death may be a consequence of not acting.
So who is the real "death panel" idiots? Our government who is trying to advocate for ordinary americans like me or these slimy insurance companies that only care about their profits and stock price for their shareholders?
EXACTLY.

I aways have hope but it is time to get a new line because there is change. You may not like it but I doubt you voted for Obama anyway.

I'm full of hope right now. Hoping that things seriously change this year and in 2012.
