...and there is no sign that Mr. Obama is any different from the past democrats that sat in the oval office. The only exception is that he has 100% compliance within his party and a majority in congress that will pass anything Mr. Obama supports.

How hypocritical is it that Mr. Obama continues to remind the general public of the deficit he inherited, but then spends so recklessly that the possibility of having a balanced budget anytime within his term is utterly impossible.

How hypocritical is it that the libs called the recent spending bill that was passed a "stimulus package". How does $20 billion dollars towards food stamps stimulate the economy? What jobs will be created by increasing food stamp allowances? This is only one example of many within that spending bill, but I'll try to avoid making this post unneccisarily long.

One of you left wingers need to help me understand what our President is attempting to do. The view from the cheap seats here in right field makes the picture look exactly like I thought it would look before the election took place; the liberal democrats want a socialist republic in place of our cherished capitalistic society. Let's continue to drain the rich to pay for the poor. Let's continue to increase taxes on large corporations that have been laying off employees at an enormous pace. Let's increase benefits to the unemployed instead of finding ways to provide jobs for them.

I'm ranting a bit, but one thing is clear. Barack Obama scares the living shit out of me. JP, UGB, anybody, please help me feel better about the job he's doing.

And someone explain to me how the fuck he has a 67% approval rating. They must have done the polling at a foreclosure seminar or a foodbank.

Thraxle, I just want you to know, I still quote you to people whenever politics are brought up.

What is the one worst thing that Obama has done?

I would say the health insurance mandate for employers, in particular two parts of the mandate: the threshold number of employees (50) and the number of hours considered full time (30). Result: fewer firms expanding past the threshold and more employees having their hours reduced to less than 30.

Political predictions are notoriously almost always wrong; but I predict the following:

1. Hillary Rodham Clinton will not receive the nomination.
2. Donald Trump will either receive the GOP nomination or run third party.

Seeing as I went out on a limb, Thraxle. Any predictions from you?

Do you not disagree with any of my predictions or just not interested in carrying on the thread? Because if you are interested I would definitely contribute to your thread. Otherwise I'll just go back to reading sparingly seeing as not much else is really going on here recently.

Btw I'm actually moving from NYC to Austin, TX in a few days. Trading a dying economy/culture for a growing one.
