If you can give Bush 8 years to fuck-up this country, you can give this man 8 to fix it. OBMA2012!!!

I so happy as well. This is his best speech in my opinion compared to last nights.

[neetrab]

This is my favorite speech of his. I liked his 2012 victory speech as well, but this one is still at the top, for me.

[rtrhhruieo]

No, 3 people actually work.

[Isaac Clarke]

Bush added $4 Trillion to the national debt in 8 years. And Obama added $5 Trillion to the national debt in 3 years. Who's worse?? How can you see him fixing this in the next 4 years?

The war in Afghanistan isn't over yet, just drawing down(ending like I said.) I think we are 100% out by 2014.

As for Iraq, yeah there are troops there, but not in an active combat role. All they are doing is training the Iraqi Army to defend themselves. The only deaths you here about now are the ones where Iraqi soldiers fire on the Americans training them. But for all intents and purposes, it's been over for a year. They don't do missions anymore, and we are at less than 20% of the peak force

I'm a Canadian, that mainly gets his American political information from political satire and Jon Stewart ( :D ), and I mean no disrespect because Obama is a historic figure in this world and he always will be. But I'd just like to ask, if the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are over, why are there still so many troops there? People are still dying and the war continues... BUT I want to emphasize that I COMPLETELY support Obama from up here and am grateful for what he's done so far.
