About time we had a president that faces challenges and works to get changes done that benefit the ENTIRE country, rich and poor. For too long, we have had a system that only benefits the richest 0.01% of the country.

Great job, Obama.

By referring to our president as a "nigger puppet" you have lost any chance of making a valid point. You sir, are an idiot.

Given the choice of republicans, we better play it safe and re-elect Obama!!  Putting a republican in the whitehouse, will only bring back the same failed policies of the bush administration!!!! Obama has not had the chance to implement his plans, because the repubican led congress blocks everything he tries to do!!!!!

@EcrossH LOL, what has he done the middle class then? He's only printed more money for his bailouts/stimulus and now I get to pay for the inflation caused by that.

Screw Bush/Obama.

[DeadJerker]

He says so little. Why am I not surprised?

@DemocraticFreedom I am a businessman. You get somewhere profitable by negotiating a good deal for all involved in the business at hand. If the Democratic Party would ditch the extremists nuts on the left and the GOP the extremists nuts on the right, instead of both sides catering to them for their votes, we could work out the differences and get somewhere profitable as a nation. It's sad to see the 10% fascists and 10% communists controlling the 80% that strive for common sense.

@joskemom Its a mistake thinking because I advise non-aggression Im a powder puff, whose politics are based in weakness. I am a big, armed, highly trained, heterosexual, experienced in aggressive martial violence. Just because I, or the U.S., CAN push people around doesnt make it right. The world is not a tavern brawl and respect gained through fear has a short half-life. If we nurture the developing world, instead of bashing it around, the nuts will look elsewhere for their enemies.

We as Democrats are marching in a parade with people Harry Truman or even Jack Kennedy would not recognize - socialist (also know as progressives) who think that Western civilization began in 1969. Strangely, without meaning to, we the mainstream Democrats find ourselves representing this "socialist movement." However, for the "socialist" within our Democratic Party, there is nothing so strange about it. Socialist have always sought to leverage corruption for the sake of power.

So bacchu, in the real world, not what ever powder puff non aggressive world you were talking of, power, strength and the willingness to kick ass gains the respect. Russia backed their ass down when they felt Kenedy would launch missles, Kadafi of Libya gave up his nukes when he say what Bush did to Saddam. Hitler and Japan stop fighting after they were crushed. Reading miranda rights to terrorist and giving them their day in court is a sign of weakness to our enimies.

Hey bacc, speak for your self, I never had bullys on my mind. And your non-aggressive crap idea, it did not stop the penis bomber from trying to kill us, it is not makeing the Taliban slow down, it is not stopping Iran from trying to get the nuke bomb, it did not stop the French president from calling Obama weak. It took Obama half his first year to decide to send troops over and now the soldiers are complaining about the rules of engagement that are imposed on them--puts them is danger.

Tax and spend does not help the economy and the failure of this admin is a good example. You said reducing taxes is not good because it is less money for govt and banks. How the hell are you thnking that banks are supposed to get tax dollars? The govt have always been the problem by getting in the way of the private sector. It has worked. allow the people to have more of their hard earn money and the economy will Always pick up.Take money from the job creaters and you will have what we got now.

[joskemom]

hey sdfgh, your ignorance is astounding. If you check history, you will see that with Kenedy. Reagon, and Bush when the taxes were reduced the economy went up. Any dollar the govt takes from the private sector is a dollar the private sector can not use in the economy. Do the math. 787 billion to make 4 million jobs is about 196 thousand dollars per job.. Spend that money to produce 1 job is inefficent---spend that money and you loose 4 million jobs is a failure.
