Gingrich and Romney seem like nice and reasonable presidential nominees to me.

They have to be some of the most unlikeable candidates I have ever seen. Unless you're old, rich, and white, I don't see the appeal.

any president that signs something like this should not be president... BREAKING: Obama Signs Defense Authorization Bill | ThinkProgress

the problem with the country is we have lifers in Congress and the Senate... they need to be on term limits like everyone else. they also should be made to pay their own health care and invest in some sort of retirement program instead of living off our money...

Frankly whoever goes to be president has a big seat to fill and I'm sure that whoever is next will get hated on about most of the this barack was hated on for. Ex. The countrys debt and solving it. A start woul be by getting some of our jobs back from china because at this point they own us because we borrow money from them.

Yeah. GWB and republican dominated congress were so much better.

The economy tanked in 2008 when the housing crisis hit. This was 2 years after the democrats swept Congress. Bush warned them to fix it in 2006. Do a youtube search. barney frank and chris dodd refused. (both democrats)

They converted Clinton's budget surplus into a deficit.

clinton simply shrunk the military to get his "surplus".

They cut the income tax primarily for the rich, which cost the budget something like a trillion dollars or more so far.

If there was a surplus, why shouldn't the taxpayers have their money back? Also, the tax cut didn't "primarily help the rich". It helped EVERYONE, which is why obama refused to let the Bush tax cuts expire saying it would be too hard on the taxpayers in this recession. Thus admitting that the tax cuts help the middle class MUCH more than your lib news that you obviously listen to regularly would ever admit.

That was awesome. He and his cabinet purposefully mislead the public in order to start the trillion dollar Iraq war.

BS. liberal propaganda.

They also oversaw the worst asset bubble in American history since the great depression. I just can't think of anything positive that republicans have done in DC in 2000-2008. 8 years of wasted time.

You are referring to obama here. NOT "Republicans".

Just pointing out that not all republicans are always great. Gingrich and Romney seem like nice and reasonable presidential nominees to me. What annoys me is all the negativity and trash being thrown by the right at the President Obama. Most of it is undeserved.

No. He took our deficit and doubled it on failed "stimulus". He now wants to double down on it. He got everything he wanted in the first 2 years of his presidency. It's been long enough to have seen some effect and we have. The economy has went nowhere but down. He proved to us all that liberalism/socialism kills economies. We got to see it first hand. This was America's great experiment with it. Now we know better and have to get back to what made this nation strong in the first place. Conservatism and Capitalism.

The country had accomplished some good things under his tenure. The financial meltdown was averted.

When? Where? You must be the only one to see this.

We finally have a health care reform, which in my opinion is a good thing. However, good or bad, at least it got things moving in DC.

It is causing businesses to fail left and right. Nobody can afford it. over 70% of the country is against it. He legislated against the will of the people and hurt us all.

American troops are finally out if Iraq. Bin Laden is dead.

Iraq is going back to chaos, and bin laden being dead is the ONLY thing obama can brag about.

The economy is bouncing back. If you ask me, he's looking pretty strong to enter the 2012 election.

The economy continues to spiral downward. It is NOT bouncing back. Unemployment is crazy high and continues to soar higher. People can't get jobs. People can't sell houses. It's a complete mess with no indication of recovery.

I clearly have. That's why you couldn't argue any of it. You just did a drive-by ad-hominem.

The unemployment rate has been going down...

Oh wow! You must listen to liberal news. First, what just got over for the year? Oh the holidays? Isn't that when a lot of employers seek part time labor? So since people have income, the "jobless claims" would dip a bit right? YOU need to check your facts because you don't know what you're talking about.

Politics have just gone to S H I T for such a long time, that I havent had an interest to even vote.All/most of them are so corrupt/filthy rich,that its all about how much money it takes to win,and seems like that is how its been for quite some time.I can care less anymore,as the rich keeps getting richer, and the poor gets poorer, and I as a considered middle class, will continue paying high taxes, and taking care of the people that come in our country for free services, and for the individuals that are too FKN lazy to get at least a job at Mc Ds, rather than ride the Welfare program.It will never change..only getting worse.I think everyone should be drug tested each month before getting the food card.Its all a bunch if corruption man..Blue collar worker I am, and will more than likely die being one, and continue to pay for all the BS.:bsf:goodbad:

What's wrong with that? We spend way too much money trying to police the world, especially in areas that couldn't give two shits about us.

Iraq is going back to chaos

Who cares? We're not their mother.

Unemployment has been dropping for the last 2 years. The housing/apartment market is blowing up here in TX.

Daily Benefactor News – Fake Unemployment Rate = 8.5% – Real Unemployment Rate = 10.9% « The Daley Gator

No unemployment goes higher and higher. They continue to try to cook the books but it doesn't make it true.

Also, I'm not for policing the world, but you can't start something and not finish it. You can't study the world and still think we don't need an ally over there.
