For you to receive your "fair share", you need a job and contribute to the economy. Not sit back and freeload off of the hard working people of this country. If you want something, WORK FOR IT!!!!

I have been reading your post about President Obama and would like to ask you all, what reasons could you tell me to vote for him this time when I didn't vote at all last time in 2008. I see Obama the Boss, He great, etc.. but what is it that he has done that you will help him be reelected? thank you.

Obama inherited a very damaged economy, the worst since the Great Depression not just an average recession. What caused this economic collapse? The biggest factor was the housing foreclosure crisis caused by greedy banks happily signing people up for loans that they knew would ultimately result in people losing their home back to the bank. Obama put in place new tougher regulations for banks that would have prevented this shitstorm had they been in place in 2007. Romney=WORSE THAN BUSH!

Let me start off by saying I am NOT racist I am just pointing out things that I have noticed in the past in media ( movies, sitcoms, standup) . From what I have seen African Americans take great pride in having a great haircut. Look at Steve Harvey. Not sure if it is a wig but I have doubts that this is the case. Steve Harvey always has a perfect looking haircut. Always evened up and no hairs sticking out the sides. Throughout this whole video I can't help but point out the little hair stickin

First of all, who considers themselves an African-American? I don't. I am an Afrikan Man who was born in America. There is a difference. We didn't vote on that issue. Why an isolated attempt to gather votes from a particuliar segment of society? Reparations haven't been addressed by this Administration so the concern for the struggles of person's of Afrikan Ascent is far from the mind's of this government. I'll vote for Ron Paul. He seems to be the only honest politician on the block these days.

You can't even spell the President's name right and your grammar is atrocious. You're an Idiot. It's looks like Ronald Regan's "educational" system failed you HARD!

OMG 2012 OMG 2012 OMG 2012 OMG 2012 OMG 2012 OMG 2012 !!!!!

Obama cannot stop anything cos he only have one vote it takes a well educated person to rule a well educated country not a very rich man.Ronald Reagan challenges us to use our innovative and compassionate spirit to create an educational system that will give every AMERICANS the" MENTAL CAPACITY" to achieve his or he potential and glory in life.

This president in my opinion is the only one that has advocated this principles of REAGAN.

I WILL SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA IN 2012

I'm not a Republican, but I'm voting Ron Paul. But if it comes down to Romney and Obama, this guy better win. Keep conservatives out of the White House.

Obama is a two term president and whomever takes over in 2016 will have an easy watch because of his efforts!!
