Frustration was inevitable, not failure. That came from amateurishness and from the determination to see him fail... which is unforgivable.

Despite the fact he Obungled quite a bit, M. McConnell's stated aim to make him fail and the total 'no' certainly helped his inability to get things done.

As a citizen you know it takes 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate. Was it really just a coincidence or more of a conspiracy that the other party voted uniformly 'no' and Joe Lieberman the ultimate piece of self interested slime.

At any rate, it's my opinion that they all suck and that the people need to throw the zeroes out - all of them and start from scratch with them having a healthy respect and fear of us.

Me? I'm voting for Stephen Harper.

You know it wasn't that long ago that the Republicans gained control of the White House, the Senate, and the House.  I remember thinking to myself "Well, one way or another, something will probably happen."  And it did, and we didn't seem to like it.  Then the House flipped to the Democrats.  Then the White House flipped to the Democrats.  Well we don't seem to like that either.

All of this has been within the last decade, a short time in a country's history.  One group may say "Obama's had his chance" and another group can easily say "The Republicans had their chance, an even better one at that with full control."  I'm not sure that I've really got a point other than politically our memories seem to be surprisingly short.  If nothing else remember that while these people are telling you what they think you want to hear.

You can't have him.

Well, I'm not going to hazard a prediction yet... but.. It won't be Barack Obama... that I will predict.

We all need to look forward, not backwards, there's enough blame to go around, lets just hope whoever is in office.. is moral, capable, and willing.

John, haven't you learned by now that the hard core Obamanites just cannot be converted to reasonable thought. LOL.

Don't blame him. He's nothing more than an empty suit that cannot hold a reasonable conversation without a telepropmter. Hell He didn't even write his own book.

The real power lies far behind the lines that we as the general public will never see. Don't know when it became that way or if it was designed that way but NOBama has made it much easier to see.

Ok Doc, I'll bite. WTF are you saying here...

lol... its SO not... strikes me as quite peculiar that folks will always blame the messengers, always assume that normal people like myself are incapable of making rational decisions, predictions, based on the entirety of our knowledge, not just what one network has to say.

I don't need Fox to tell me Obama is toast... it's just.. obvious.. to anyone with a pulse.

Well, I still find comfort in the thought that if I can get ONE person to see the light, I've replaced the vote.. I don't have.

Bingo! and we have a winner! the current administration is a product of George Soros.

I meant Herman Cain, also from GA, like the chopstick guy 

Some leaders dont need to memorize, they speak from the heart, they speak from a burning fire within, I really can't remember seeing any other leader read from teleprompters the way Obama does, it's almost offensive to me.

He looks like an umpire at a tennis match.

As cynical as I am all I can see is his little army of speechwriters working away into the night to ready the propaganda for the next days speech.

I know everyone has speechwriters, but not every pres. reads almost every word, from a screen.

U rarely see him not using it, and when you do, he turns into a stuttering mess. for all the talk of him being a supreme orator..

I just don't see it.

Marco Rubio, is a good speaker, Herman Cain.. he eats Obama for lunch on the platform.

No Prompter. No lack of passion.

lastly, I'd give my right arm to watch Obama debate Newt Gingrich.

Hopeless.

v....there is NO question Barry has been a HUGE disappointment....{many a broken heart since `o8}brilliant as he is, he would be better suited to the clubby confines of Harvard Yard with his personality & skill set, NOT the gruesome political arena that requires gutz of steel & a certain cagey finesse.  That being said, the konservativista platform & Presidential offerings are pretty bleak as well: it`s not for nuthin`that Warren Buffett considers the current GOP lineup PATHETIC & now the desperate call for the Governor of New Jersey to step up = mind you with Ron Paul receiving the 'coveted' Barry Manilow endorsement of hiz Ayn Rand political moonscape, one needs only review the lowlights of his polices; consider:that stuff about Paul wanting to eliminate minimum wage…brilliant strategy to get people working and rejoice over those newly available $1.72/hour jobs....after all, workers in India and Bangladesh get paid a quarter of that and they’re happy.

Same with eliminating the FDA and getting the government out of the business of regulating drugs.  Much better idea to hand over that responsibility to the drug companies.  Makes perfect sense because you know that big pharma’s only concern is your welfare.  Just ask the health insurers.  They’ll tell you that no one guards a hen house better than a skulk of foxes.

The Federal Aviation Administration?  Worthless, money-gobbling bureaucracy.  Paul understands that air safety and your life is best managed by an altruistic private sector.

U.S Department of Education?  Gone.

U.S. Department of Energy?  Gone.

U.S. Department of Commerce?  Gone.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services?  Gone.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security?  Gone.

Federal Emergency Management Agency?  Gone.

Internal Revenue Service?  Gone.

In Ron Paul’s finely tuned analysis, all of the above are “unnecessary bureaucracies” and Barry Manilow agrees.  That’s all anyone needs to know.

Here’s the bottom line: when a presidential candidate has the support of a man who not only writes music but is Music, for crying out loud…and writes the songs that make the whole world sing, as well as songs of love and special things, to say nothing of songs which make young girls cry, what more do they need?

Nothing.  Absolutely nothing.

he's a preacher, what do you expect. for me at least, the choice between public speaking and sharp stick in the eye has always been a tough choice.

one might also consider that the lose of job/income has driven people to purchase cheaper products in order to make ends meet. Walmat single handed killed the American textile market, now those people are out of work and if they need socks, guess where they are manufacturered.
