People all around me had money...one of my brothers is a car salesman and he was making damn near as much money as I was selling cars to "average" people (Ford dealership).

My other brother is a fishing captain and paid off his nice home in Port Charlotte, Fla right on the ocean in 5 years he was making so much money.

Hard to blame somebody when everything is running on all cylinders.

But Obama just hasn't done anything. As was already pointed out: Reagan was able to LEAD and get Tip O'Neil to get the Democratic controlled House & Senate to work with him even though they hated and vilified him at every turn.

Clinton was able to get Newt Gingrich and the Republican controlled House and Senate to work with him even though they hated his guts and even impeached him!

But Obama? 3 years in and he just now FINALLY comes up with some ideas for jobs? And his ideas are really just another bailout with a new name?

I voted for him. Really though he was gonna be different. Instead he has disappointed everyone. I know you will argue that...but just watch what happens in 2012.
