Fighting wars all over the world.
A war on drugs at home that has the U.S. incarcerating more of it's citizens than ANY country in the world.
And most important...high unemployment for the 4th year in a row as the economy still has not recovered.

NOW you are talking!!!
THIS is what the campaign SHOULD be about. We were driven into a deep ditch by eight years of Bush and Obama has been walking around the overturned car ignoring the gas fire to look for the car keys during much of his four years in office. That is an excellent reason to vote for anyone other than Obama.
Unfortunately, instead of real candidates, the GOP ran a slate of retards. Bachman, Herman Cain, Santorum, Perry, Newt... and Romney. That was what they decided would be the best possible field. Compared to the rest of that field Romney looks like a rockstar. Compared to almost anyone else... he looks like a plutocratic bustout salesman.
Instead of talking about the issues you mentioned, and Gitmo still being open, US citizens being assassinated, Citizens United gutting our Democracy, the BP oil spill resulting in 0 arrests, just like the banking meltdown 0 arrests... We are left to deal with Romney being Romney and Obama being Obama... because nobody honestly expects either of these two "F" grade candidates to fix anything.
I honestly truly wish either party had a better candidate.
