Cris, there's no need to consistently submit to name calling.

I was truly surprised I agree 87% with Obama.

I truly didn't know how this would turnout! Results show I'm with 51% of the American voters. 87% Barack Obama on economic, social, domestic policy, foreign policy, healthcare, environmental, science, and immigration issues 71% Jill Stein on foreign policy and environmental issues 55% Rocky Anderson on foreign policy issues 41% Mitt Romney on foreign policy and science issues 24% Ron Paul on foreign policy issues 49% Texas Voters on domestic policy, foreign policy, social, environmental, science, and immigration issues. 51% American Voters on foreign policy, domestic policy, social, environmental, science, and immigration issues.

I agree.

Sounds familiar... What could a republican have done differently the past 4 years? It couldn't have stayed status quo as the republicans suggested.

K - Thx

Are you serious over your compassion for an anti-Obama political documentary MOVIE. Let's be clear, it's a movie, edited and narrated with an election year conservative theme. You're raving about a conservative view of a democratic period, another effort to redefine President Obama as a foreigner. You didn't need the movie. BUT, For Those Who Like That Sort Of Thing, That Is The Sort Of Thing They Like. I saw the Expendables, I want to be Incredible.

Are you saying we hit the wrong country first? BTW: what do you mean about "Quit drinkin' the kool-aid"? Please be specific without sarcasm.

Just think how that statement could be used by everyone through their lifetime. Some are, some are not... that's life. Everyone will not proper at the same time. I remember what things were like in 2004 and I believe the downward slide slowed for a few reasons including getting out of Iraq. Housing crisis was a huge affect of the previous Bush years. Auto industry was hit hard prior to Obama. Financial industries with crafted bookkeeping brought down some large institutions. Insurance situation improved for my kids going to college, who could not have afforded it otherwise. My financial situation had not improved since 9/11, 11 years, but we have successfully retooled over the past year! Our net is not as high but we've temporarily adapted to the situation.

I really don't know why so many of you call him "King". You're simply confused. BTW: I don't know you're business and everyone is affected differently, but what specifically 'per se' ruined or slowed your business? Sales, importing etc...

+1 LOL We often remind ourselves to learn the lessons of the past, lest we risk repeating its mistakes. Yet nearly as often, our short-term memory fails us. Many have already forgotten how deep and daunting our shared crisis was in the winter of 2009, as President Obama was inaugurated. It was no ordinary challenge, and the president served as the nation's calm through a historically turbulent storm. Read more:

Aftermath of 9/11, war on a search for WMDs, war on terrorist, unregulated policies that allowed risky accounting and retirement losses, offshoring in result of trade treaties, Republicans pouting and sit out/sit down in congress. ... Didn't you think there would be an aftermath of irresponsible acts?

jj - you seem to be fascinated with bars and freedom of speech but you criticize others freedom of speech. you need a

Easing regulations is also detrimental to workers in all. That's been proven over the last 10 years with financial institution and health situations. But this study by EPI is loaded with catch-22s and assumptions that can't happen without first a series of layoffs. Companies are running lean and the added payroll expense will hurt before it will help create more jobs. IMO, companies would reject a move of raising minimum-wages. More of these jobs will go offshore. BTW: this study has nothing to do with POTUS.

I look pretty ignorant? You didn't have to go there! There haven't been one single president in our history that could keep every promise. If you believed he would or he could you were ignorant from the start. Romney in office is just as repulsive to me as President Obama to you. I believe there are "masters" that control certain strings. I believe Obama was promised the power to get Obamacare in place for the country, and for his legacy, in an exchange for the crap of the conservative party. They (Reps) sat on their hands for 3 years pouting in the sand box. He had to use executive powers, like most of his predecessors, then you guys spread the frosting that he doesn't play fair. You call him, the democratic party, and the democratic supporters communist - you guys throw several punches below the belt to win a no win game. You made the U.S. look like a foolish Republic to the rest of the world with your constant lack of patriotic respect for the flag and for the office of the president of the United States. Saying you're patriotic and being is different. You constantly air the dirty laundry (lies really) across the world in blogs fashion. Sarge - be respectful!

What an angry uneducated, uninformed crock of crap. You're loaded with repulsive BS; you're talking about bitcshing ----- WOW, get a grip! Obviously you don't have the aptitude to debate a subject. No reason to lay into Maggie in that manner. Sure, if educated on the facts of trusts, taxes and the practice of tax avoidance you can save more. That doesn't completely excuse the act of everyone should be taxed on the same level. They're not asking the rich to pay MORE money but to pay the same PERCENTAGE of taxes as, per se, the middle-class. If that's 28% for one it's 28% for all. JUST an EXAMPLE. What puzzles me is there are a bunch of broke folks supporting some rich folks because of their religious connections to the so-called conservative party. Just where do you fall on the wealth ladder?

Did you think recovery would be easy?

All of that is true... Not a laughing matter but that's the same respect given by the republicans over the past 3 years... Aftermath of 9/11, war on a search for WMDs, war on terrorist, unregulated policies that allowed risky accounting, offshoring in result of trade treaties, Republicans pouting and sit out/sit down in congress more then 3 years my man, waste of public money... Didn't you think there would be an aftermath of irresponsible acts?

Satirical stories makes for very fun reading. I mean really... Enjoy

Didn't you think there would be an aftermath of irresponsible acts? I didn't list anything that's not true so I don't expect to be ripped.

Cris, we'll never agree on the economy, politics, human evolvement, regulations, policies or sunshine or rain. You have no idea where the country was at the end of 2007. You have no memory of the size of the problems the country was facing. Maybe you never saw a problem. You're a NOW kind of a guy... Take care!

I'm trying to absorb this as well.
