I would agree with this if he was talking about building fewer bombs so we can afford better schools, ending oil subsidies so we could afford investments in domestic energy infrastructure. But he's not. He's talking about eliminating a large part of civil society in favor of a bloated defense budget and insanely low taxes for the investment class. My taxes are lower than they've every been, and will only go up if the tax cuts these guys want for the upper UPPER class are passed.

No social security had a surplus, it made money for our country, its a fact and you can't argue with it

So any regulation at all is bad, he's not taking away your car or stealing money from you or anything, he's not saying you can't drive your car, he's putting regulations on companies like Ford so we have healthier air and a better world, its not a bad thing

Obama has been in office for over 2 and a half years. He has had more than enough time to show what he can do as president. Let's think about what he has done (even though you don't need to think that hard to see that he doesn't know what he's doing). Obama has made the unemployment rate higher, dragged our country into even deeper debt, and blamed Bush every time he's screwed up. His slogans were "Hope" and "Change" during the campaign. I HOPE there's a CHANGE in office in 2012.
