I see the healthcare bill as pushing us so far over the cliff in about 6 years we may as well give it up an I see the deficit that this man has ignored totally as ONE of the basics of what is killing this country. Just a very small example but this country is losing so much money right now as being an owner of GM but nobody cares. We will never every pay for this healthcare bill, and nobody cares (mostly because if was structured to be paid when he is gone)

I am sorry.....I see this country as being in really deep trouble, and we need somebody who can get us talking again. Is it Romney...I dont know....what I do know is that it is not the current occupant of the WH...he has failed at it and he can blame Bush all he wants...he can blame the rich all he wants...he can blame the house all he wants and he does blame all those people by the way, but he had three years and failed !

And allow me to close by saying that I disagree totally with you....A great politician is good at getting elected and making speeches. A leader gets things done and accomplishes bringing folks together and he, the President, has divided this country along so many different lines in the past 3 years which he learned in his community organizer days for sure.
You are entitled to totally disagree with me. But by doing so you are throwing your lot in with the fear mongers and those who have no plan but to criticize. The deficit is my best example because I did clearly mean that it is not the single decider of our future. Scaled down to compensate for inflation and factoring in when we were far less a world market power, this country has been in worse financial condition in the past. With greater investment from private capital directly into the economy, and some fortunate periods of relative peace, we created budget surpluses and eliminated deficits. I believe we can eliminate our current deficit in a reasonable period of time.

I have listed the steps by which this could occur previously. It's late and I'm distracted by the terrific Olympic competitions, so I'm not going to repeat them now. My glass is still half-full.
