He also didn't ruin the US during his presidency ("yet" or whatever someone is bound to say). It hasn't been long enough for him to ruin all 200 years of the US since January. He has just been assigned the task of trying to clean it all up. YES, that is his job and it is a fucking hard one and NO I don't agree with everything, but I do agree with the notion. Not that it helps much. I'd love to see y'all have his position and the choices you would make. ANYONE would be hard pressed to do good a job given our state of affairs at this point.
Come on now Tracy. Each and every major policy he wants to force through congress will obviously hurt the US.

Cap and trade will kill the manufacturing industry in the US. Even a corporation like Lockheed is already sending more and more work overseas to avoid some of the environmental regulations. That same bill will also, at least, double energy costs and make everything we buy more expensive. This includes the costs for in home utilities.

Healthcare will lower the standard of care in the US, no one can make even a half way reasonable argument otherwise. You can listen to any politician you want, but in the end, nothing in any bill in congress will lower costs AND even keep the levels of care the same, nor will they cover even half of the citizens that are currently uncovered. What those plans will do is cause employers to cut jobs to pay the fines imposed. Personal choice is no longer relevant either. More fines to pay if you feel the risk is worth the reward.

Diplomacy under Obama is nothing more than appeasement. All he does when he is overseas is bash America. Look at the people that are praising him, then look at the ones warning him of the effects of his politics. He has done nothing to prevent additional attacks on our soil or any of our other possessions. If anything, he has damaged our ability to counter these attacks.


Obama's politics and the way he is pushing his agenda will kill the American economy. Dems from solidly democrat districts have completely ignored public opinion, they simply say it is racist conservatives. Everything that isnt going well, blame Bush, yet every prediction made by this administration has been horribly wrong. How much longer are people going to allow him to use the blame Bush defense? Even the 1.4 TRILLION dollar budget deficit is being blamed on Bush when we can look at just 2 pieces of legislation signed by Obama that are worth more than 1.2T in money we dont have.
