Guess it doesn't matter since he's a long shot to win the electoral college.
And my guy Johnson won't win.
So you get Obama for four more years. 
I hope he figures out what he's doing since you seem to think he's doing a better job as President than Romney did as governor. I hope you're right. |
Well, I look around me and things are better now than when Obama first took office. However, I've always said the only thing needed to get past this economic mess is time and we've had four years of time.
When Obama took office I started a thread here on GFY about my home town. Construction came to a halt; a condo complex stopped right in the middle of construction - they had concrete pads with wiring and plumbing sticking out, half built condos next to units that were built and occupied... Six months ago they started rebuilding. In that same thread I mentioned that out of the twenty houses on my street, exactly half of them were empty... Now all of them - finally at last - are occupied.
Would things have been better if McCain took office? I'm pretty confident that Palin would have given McCain a heart attack over something she did or said ("I can see Russia from my backyard") and now McCain would be dead and Palin would be in office.
Do I think things would be better four years from now if Romney was in office? Sure. He'll keep our taxes the same but scramble to cut all federal benefits while trying to increase the military while lowering our deficit - all while trying to create more jobs. Freeway projects will come screeching to a halt (thanks for the $300 million freeway bypass for my town, btw), putting even more stress on smaller towns and counties, while increasing taxes on gas and god knows what else - got to pay for his military spending and deficit cutting somehow..... I'm former military and god bless our troops, but he needs to spend more to do what - make our military even stronger than it is now, the most powerful military in the world? In the end he'll do what he always does - borrow money from someone else (increase the deficit), send jobs to China, and then walk away when it's time to declare bankruptcy.
I am stunned that this is the best the Republican party has to offer. Better than Herman Cain, but still....
