2002 video of Romney.. You just can't make this stuff up..

There is a lot of truth in what you just said. The true impact of a sitting president isn't felt until three - five years after his term. Right now we are still feeling the massive impact of the of Bush's term, who wrote bills into law and failed to fund them - leaving it to the "next guy".

I'm not saying this to bash Romeny. Obama did it with Obamacare - a lot of the law hasn't even taken affect yet. A lot of it hasn't been paid for yet. We'll cover that bridge in the next election.

Yes, I did vote for Obama and that's exactly what he did.

Not this time.

Don't you realize that when you use that kind of verbiage full of hate and venom that it HURTS your candidate?

Newsflash: Obama would have nothing to do with a person like you who says the things you do. He would have nothing but disdain for you. As he should.

I did not vote for the president 4 years ago but this Obama bashing is ridiculous and borderline unpatriotic.

Some of the things this man try to push through, like the jobs bill would have helped but the republican controlled congress wouldn't pass it. They filibustered almost everything he tried passing to the detriment of the American people. They didn't even pass a farm bill. Just petty stuff like not passing the benefits raise for veterans which was already agreed upon, they decided to go on vacation and pass it when they come back.

It's truly ridiculous what they have done, not saying Obama has been the best president ever but how about holding congress accountable for trying to undermine the President while hurting Americans for political purposes.

If Obama had Romney's track record people would go crazy. Would you vote for Obama if he had Romney's record?

If you were in Congress and you saw something called a "Jobs Bill" but when you looked at it you determined it was a bad bill and wouldn't help at all...would you vote for it?

Also, keep in mind that the Republican House has sent several "jobs bills" to the Democrat Senate. Harry Reid has refused to even allow a vote on them. Isn't that "unpatriotic" too via your definition?

I'm pretty sure that the founding fathers deliberately made it difficult to pass new laws and legislation. They never wanted or intended for one party (in this case the Democrats) to be able to rule like Kings.
The Republicans are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.

They were voted in to oppose the Democrats plan by the people. If the people don't like it then they should have voted Democrat. Right?

It's election time now. So we'll see if people have changed their minds from 2 years ago and want to give the Democrats more power.

And yes, Obama is an utter failure.
He is the first president I've seen who has been incapable of reaching out to the opposing party and getting a compromise.

Reagan did it with a hostile Democrat House and Senate. Clinton did it with a hostile Republican House and Senate. Even Bush got the Dems to vote with him on his bills.

Obama is the first I've seen to fail so hard and make so many excuses.

$410 million for the Olympics is nothing, Vancouver cost $925!

But then again if John Furlong (Vancouver Olympics CEO) tried to run for Prime Minister and use the Olympics as an example of his business credentials he would get laughed at pretty fucking hard

Romney, Morals. That was sarcastic right? I am not saying I care if my president has morals or not. I am just making sure...

Believe me, most of the people who voice there opinion the loudest have the least political knowledge. Not much of an education and have minimal knowledge of real economics, politics and how things really work. They just run with the crowd. The crowd says Obama did bad so he did bad. But they really couldn't tell you why. It is the main reason I deactivate my facebook account during elections years. To see people I know who are high school drop outs and drug addicts talk about the debate like they are aloud to vote after their second felony makes me want to give someone a beating.

Neither Reagan, Clinton or Bush had to deal with the likes of this...

The best thing that could be done for the US right now is to put a real business man in office. Neither of the ass hats in place for this election are business men.

That is simply not true. Just because that is more recent, it seems that way.

Reagan had a buzzsaw in Tip O'Neil to deal with. Both Senate and House were Democrat and had been for decades. Tip O'Neil was the most powerful man in Washington.
The media and the left were merciless on Reagan. He was a befuddled old man who didn't know anything and didn't actually run things in their view. It was attack after attack.
But guess what? Reagan was a LEADER and he reached out and got things done.

As for Clinton...come on get serious. That's recent enough for everyone to remember. The Republicans and the right treated him with complete disrespect and it was shameful. They IMPEACHED him for God's sake! And he had to deal with a guy by the name of Newt Gingrich who was the most powerful man in Washington and the guy who was behind the "Contract For America" that changed the House over to Republicans for the first time in modern history.
The entire country it seemed hated Clinton in 1994.
BUT...Clinton was a LEADER. And by 1995 he had stopped trying to push through "Hillary Care" and had turned around and reached out to Newt Gingrich and the Republicans. And guess what? They got things done and the country prospered.

Obama on the other hand, got a big wake up call in 2012 when the country voted the Dems out of the House and the Repubs gained a lot in the Senate.
But unlike Clinton, he decided to "double down" and he has never had the skill and finesse to reach out to the Republicans and get things done.

Excuses are good and all...but the facts are that he simply isn't a leader. Maybe he'll do better in the second term? Who knows. Or maybe he'll continue on the path he's been on and we'll be screwed even worse. I guess we'll find out.

two party system, thats supposed to be a representative democracy?
got to be kidding me. I wonder how many Americans truly feel represented.
wake up and have a look at European parliaments, often with 5-10 different political parties and alliances across 3-4 of them to form government.

i am tired of:
Presidents campaigning while on duty.
If there was no need to raise so much money then it would reduce the amount of "work time" it take to "run for office", get back to work buddy..
Candidates taking any funds for campaigning from anyone. No more hands in the pocket of the candidates. Give them x amount of $ to use and be done with it.
Take the money out of politics.
