Secondly, this President saved millions of jobs with the saving of the American automobile industry. He saved it from plunging the country into a Depression. GNopers say bankruptsy would have been the answer. Stupid answer, again.

Americans like President Obama. He is a good man and will provide great support for America for the next 4 years.

Well now that is what this board is all about.

I believe in my heart that we cannot afford his signature legislation which we dont even begin to pay for until a few years out and if you read the means of paying for it and all the ifs, and and maybes in it, you would have to agree. I am not, any longer, going to be caught in that trap where you folks try and make everyone feel guilty by mentioning all the help being given. It could have been that way...it should have been that way, but he made sure it was not that way. We flat out cannot afford what we have now and we sure cannot afford this.

I am not sure as of today how much this country has lost with the stock we own of GM but it is substantial we will never get it back. I also know that sometimes and they are a coming, it is best to do the hard thing to fix something which is what we should have done in the auto industry case. They should have been allowed to restructure under our bankruptcy law instead of what was done.

I agree that it appears that Americans like Obama...I am sure he is a nice man...but we dont need a nice man ....we need a leader. I would rather not like the man but like the direction of the country !

And for the record, not sure what words or whose words you referred to but your comment about it meaning nothing..that is your opinion only and frankly your words were rather shallow. I would rather you read how the healthcare act is "supposed" to be paid for and tell me how it is possible ! I would rather you tell me how this president did nothing about the deficit for three years will do something now,

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.

Talk about saying nothing. Your post is a prime example of all talking points and no substance. You see treasure where there is only trash.

I'll give Romney a 10 and Obama a 0

save the Republic vote for Mitt Romney
