I'm not upset at all Angie, just continuing the conversation. Obama had 2 years with unassailable dominance with a Democrat controlled House and Senate. The Republicans could hardly get a word in edgewise. Obama did get things accomplished, just nothing to advance "the state of the union", which was my premise.
Obama has accomplished things in service to his vision of the new progressive socialist state he is working to create and shove down the throat of the American people in direct violation of our Constitutional protections; and in effect, that is how he is damaging the state of the union.
You want more Democrats?; you don't think the country has been damaged enough?

Naw... I didn't think you would be... That's why I was messing with you. I wouldn't do it if I really thought it would upset you.
As to your concerns. The way I see it is the debt came from previous wars from Bush. When Mr. Bush took office, we had a surplus. After two wars we were in debt. I didn't think Mr. Obama would be able to get us out of debt in the short amount of time that he was in. I don't think he is trying to get us to become a "socialist state" but I do think he went about the Health Care issue all wrong. I also think his time was miss directed, he should have spent that time on jobs. In that I agree....
As to our problems now... I am very upset with the republicans. When they walk out on job plans that they created because Mr. Obama says they are good. I'm sorry... I take issue with that! And then to top it off with the last debacle concerning the Debt Ceiling. It was a dangerous game they played that isn't playing out well.

"Since July 21, the market has gone from one crisis to another, and the weakening U.S. economy has been at the heart of the selling. In late July, the concern was the debt debate going on in Washington. In early August, it was the downgrade of the U.S. debt rating by Standard & Poor's. Since then, worries about the impact of the downgrade have faded, and growing evidence that the economy is slowing has driven stocks down."
It really seems to me that the Republicans are trying to sabotage Mr. Obama and they don't care who they hurt to do it. It doesn't make me want to vote for any one of them. You see... That's my 401 K they are messing with and as I've said over and over again.. I'm not a party person... I'm in this for me.
Does that answer your question?
