He didn't F up the nation. Bush/Reps shitted all over the country. and Obama's trying to mop it up. But it takes more than 4 years. To clean up 8 years worth of shit.

I would say he did the equivalent of stopping a brakeless train from speeding off a cliff while reversing its direction, but all the passengers are pissed they aren't at the station yet.

But whatever


He insists on regulating the engine rather than letting it explode, the damned commie.

A student at my school was wearing black today, and he said he was 'mourning for our country'. I told I was sad that so many people would vote for Romney, too.

Factually dishonest. The New Deal ended the Depression a full ten years before WWII ended. The WWII recession was entirely due to WWII.

As opposed to a kid born into a rich family, whose idea of 'suffering' was having to cash stock options his daddy gave him?

You might not value the work of a community organiser, a lawyer, or the President of the United States - but that doesn't mean he hasn't worked hard.

Yes, because as we all know, any old idiot can get accepted to Harvard and pass. It is also ridiculously easy to be elected to the Senate, and even easier winning a presidential election, then winning another one while still dealing with domestic and foreign affairs, the economy, and a family.

Also, according to CNN, 90% of people who say they are worse off voted for Romney, and 90% of people who say they are better off voted for Obama.

Seeing as Obama won the popular vote, you can therefore extrapolate that overall Americans are doing better.
