    The only way Obama helped the economy was his buoying of Altria's (nee Phillip Morris) stock price through his robust cig consumption.

    He's been an atrocious president -- there's no question about it.

    Some say, "oh he got Obama" -- more like he had to be pulled off the golf course and still had trouble making a decision when confronted with overwhelming evidence that the US Military could take him out before he finally pulled the trigger.

    Some say, "oh he took out Gaddafi" -- more like he didn't even bother requesting Congress' approval before King Barry sent us to war there.

    Time to take out the trash. Vote that clown out.

    Obviously. When talking about debt mc mark is interested in gross or trends, he wants to talk percentage. when employment he wants to talk trends but not net or percentage.

    mc mark posted crap numbers and got crap numbers in response.

    Face the truth Casey

    Obama stopped the country's freefall into a depression
    Obama reversed the trend of job loss
    Obama has added less debt than the last four presidents

    oh and passed two of the most important pieces of legislation in the last 50 years
    killed Osama
    reversed DADT

    there's plenty to run on

    mcmark just spanked you. B-bob just spanked you. and even republicans praised obama on his handling of the kill osama mission. Your portrayal of what happened is so ludicrous is begs to wonder if you go beyond being partisan to insane.

    Sorry Bigtexx, the clown will not only get re-elected, he will go down as the president who saved us from the damage Bush did. It's so sad and pathetic you can't give the man credit and admit you were wrong.

    That picture itself says "From the President's FIRST DAY in office?"

    So before you claim another horribly misrepresents a President's record, please explain to me how ANY president can take blame or credit for the spending bills that were passed before him but started to go into effect under his presidency?

    LMAO - you cannot be serious.

    He cowardly decided to put off the nation's real problems by simply printing more money -- a clear assault on the lower class who have to deal with the consequences -- higher food and energy prices.

    He kicked the can down the road -- he's not worthy of any praise for his politically expedient economic solutions. Far from it.

    Haha, no one else caught the Freudian slip?

    As for the economy, well, among the strong signs of economic recovery in the United States, the only thing holding you back is your distrust of "eggheads"...the same people who are about more or less two times as intelligent as you are. The evidence is starting to defy you. Soon, very soon it will overwhelm your wall of denial, if only because you'll have woken up to a second term Obama presidency.

    Dow at 12720. Looks like your amateur economic analysis is failing you.

    Bush was reading an upside book when he was informed of 911....lmao..

    You think he didnt get approval to go get Gaddafi??. GTFOH

    Vote him out so some other hopeless guy can make broken promises?... I honestly think they should make the presidency a longer term... From this experience, you can't fix everything in 4 years..Make it 6/8 years...That should be enough time to see if progress has been made....They should hold elections only when the people wanna make the change... People have wanted Obama out since his 1st year... Its sad and laughable IMO..

    Obama will run on his record:

    (1) Codify indefinite detention into law;

    (2) draw up a secret kill list of people, including American citizens, to assassinate without due process;

    (3) proceed with warrantless spying on American citizens;

    (4) prosecute Bush-era whistleblowers for violating state secrets;

    (5) reinterpret the War Powers Resolution such that entering a war of choice without a Congressional declaration is permissible;

    (6) enter and prosecute such a war;

    (7) institutionalize naked scanners and intrusive full body pat-downs in major American airports;

    (8) oversee a planned expansion of TSA so that its agents are already beginning to patrol American highways, train stations, and bus depots;

    (9) wage an undeclared drone war on numerous Muslim countries that delegates to the CIA the final call about some strikes that put civilians in jeopardy;

    (10) invoke the state-secrets privilege to dismiss lawsuits brought by civil-liberties organizations on dubious technicalities rather than litigating them on the merits;
    (11) preside over federal raids on medical mar1juana dispensaries;

    (12) attempt to negotiate an extension of American troops in Iraq beyond 2011 (an effort that thankfully failed);

    (13) reauthorize the Patriot Act;

    (14) and select an economic team mostly made up of former and future financial executives from Wall Street firms that played major roles in the financial crisis.

    I've yet to see anybody disprove anything I've stated.

    Only a bunch of biased Obama fluffers who are too blind to provide objective judgment.

    Bush spent one year ignoring the threat, seven years to chase it. Obama finished the threat in three years.

    Bigtexxx, everyone here knows your position on civil liberties. You generally should be having a VERY good time under an Obama presidency. You keep on rattling on and on about printing presses, well, what are the real solutions? Abolishing the EPA to fight deflation?

    The left should be complaining more about how this is being achieved, but Obama's national security record is near impeccable, and the average American knows it. Couple that with the economic recovery, and for a center-right country that on average, barely pays attention to politics, this should be more than enough.

    Hightop, now you're just rubbing the liberals' noses in the squalid smell of their own excrement. Merciless!

    (but of course true)

    It's quite clear that your only purpose here is to antagonize liberals. Seems like you succeed.

    But it is quite pathetic and empty of an existence.

    More proof that when you throw facts in their face, as the previous poster just did, the ignorant choose to ignore. Very sad because they'll only go so far in human existence without reaching a cap on intelligence.
