We are just getting over the damage done to the United States economy and image in the world, not to mention our own self confidence, by eight years of an incredibly inept Presidency, that of 'W' Bush, who couldn't hold a candle to his own father. He was not a stupid man, he suffered by being certain and incurious at the same time.

For some reason he tried to fight two wars at the same time without paying for either of them. And Congress let him. So you can thank that policy for a huge amount of the debt we are in.

As for the horrible performance on the part of Wall Street, that has many fathers, most of them, but not all, Republican, including the people who were backing McCain.

Obama is being blamed by the extremists for pert near everything including their own canker sores. I heard a recording of a woman practically crying over the fact that her little children would be in school and The President wanted to talk to them. Horror of horrors.

I repeat, "Get A Grip" or y'all will have a second term to cry through.

Look in the mirror. YOu say Bush was bad. You blamed him for everything. Presidents always get blamed for everythng. It is an American pass time like baseball or football. Anything going wrong is always the President fault. As for the second term of this idiot. The nation will go through the second american civil war before that happens. If yo recall your history lesson, it was the election of Abraham Lincoln that ignited the first one. Don't be mistaken, this is about policy, not about the man. The liberals have openly stated to include the President himself, they seek to "remake America" which begins by destroying the old and then rebuilding. However the advisors of our dear leader sit about hailing the acheivements of Huga Chavez, Castro, Hitler and Stalin. The combined death toll by those idiots under their regime is over 200 million souls. (Their own citizens I might add.) The nations are the porest on the planet and they have no idea what health care is except a firing squad. This is what we can expect for a replacement to our system.

Exactly.

Actually not an idiot. Very crafty, he is. If you were serious, he has got you fooled

  Don't be mistaken, this is about policy, not about the man.

Exactly.

The liberals... they seek to "remake America" which begins by destroying the old and then rebuilding.

Its true. Preach it !! (Seriously)

However the advisors of our dear leader sit about hailing the acheivements of Huga Chavez, Castro, Hitler and Stalin.

I don't think they included Hitler, yet. They would probably speak well of Uncle Joe though, at least in private.

The combined death toll by those idiots under their regime is over 200 million souls. (Their own citizens I might add.) The nations are the porest on the planet and they have no idea what health care is except a firing squad.

A hyperbolic assertion, but your point is well made.

This is what we can expect for a replacement to our system.

It will be far less than what we're all used to, thats for sure. (Don't think its gonna pass though.)

Cheers.

"Until lately I've always respected the GOP, but as of late, those who claim to belong to the party, (according to some polls, 22% or so) are really going off the deep end. Yes, I’m very uneasy about the bailout of GM and the banking industry but it is a policy that President Bush started, or do “conservatives” have that short of a memory? Have “conservatives” forgotten that it was Bush who grew the Federal Government?  That it was he who started us on a path of fiscal irresponsibility. And it was on his watch that we had the worst economic crisis in decades, not to mention his reckless foray into Iraq!"



Here is a person finally rembering past when Obama was elected. Obama inheritted this mess from the GOP and he is tring to fix it. For all those people who want to get back to before Obama they shold remember Good old Bush. no exit stratgy and an economy more in the tank then it is now.

But hey you could go back to this.





   I mean in no way to offend the average American i just want to point out the "Great Leader" of the past Government

Bush was not a fiscal conservative - and deserves criticism for this.  Compared to Obama, however, he was a 'tight wad'.

Obama has now been our leader for a year, and the time has come to stop blaming everything on Bush!  

Just look at the Gross National Debt ticker at the top of this site!!!  It's been increasing at an unprecedented rate since Obama took office!

For most of the members of this site, it's not about politicial parties.  It's about out of control government spending, big government incroachment into our daily lives,  preserving capitalism and liberty, and protecting our citizens from harm.

I don't know what is it that the American people can't understand about the DEM/REPUB parties.

They are both into nation building , and the nation is not AMERICA.

It is all about devide and conquer , pick a class of people and tell them what they want to hear.

Look at BUSH/OBAMA , they both lied to the American people so many times about the way they would govern this country.

Look at the talking heads on tv and radio , they tell people what the listeners want to hear, i can't believe that any avg american with half a brain believes 10% ot the BS on the air ways. But they do.

Ron Paul has said many times he would get us out of nation building (IRAQ/AFGAN) now. I still think he could have saved this country.

Close at least 75% of our overseas bases (protect American first).

I spent over 10 years in the military and during my time in service i never saw or heard a General giving interviews on tv/radio like they do today. Weather they are right or wrong. Anyone ever hear of HARRY TRUMAN.

The DEMS won the elections congress/POTUS. They are in charge, too hell with trying to get along with the repub's. Write a bill, vote on it ,pass it or kill it  and move on. Thats the way our system works.

When the R'S are in charge the can do the same thing.

Nothing ever changes , just different parties kicking the can ( thats us ) down the road.

I have left the GOP and I am now an Independent. However, taking oneself out of the show reduces your impact and influence and this is what they also want. They are sidelining the American people as spectators and not players. Well that goes for our money. I say they can dream about collecting taxes.

People make it sound that the second Obama was sworn in the economy tanked and it was his fault. Obama is tring to fix it but it wont be instentaious it will take time. And you are correct Bush wasnt a fiscal conservitive

Our nation has a debt of over $12 trillion dollars and rising.  Obama's plan to 'right' the economy involves increasing our out of control debt dramatically.  

Along the way, he is also planning to nationalize as much of the private sector as possible.

It's a suicidal plan!!!!  Obama's 'fix' involves bankrupting our country, and handcuffing the private sector - which is retarding the possiblity of job creation.

Obama, in the last half of the primaries, ran as a centrist.  Once elected, went immediately to the far left.  He and his handlers are hell bent on social policies for this country.  I hope all those wide eyed young idiots who were duped into thinking he would be the Messiah are throwing up in their beer on their Saturday night hazings.  If things continue on the present course, Obama will be a one term president (amen).  Wait till these youngsters find out that they could be required to pay for medical insurance or go to jail?????
