~^~^~^~^~^~President Obama, YOU MUST PROTECT Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Under Bush, Republicans voted 7 TIMES to raise the debt limit. It was the last 3 REPUBLICAN presidents, REAGAN, BUSH Sr. & JUNIOR that ran up the debt. ...IF America defaults WE THE PEOPLE will know who to blame. The Republican Party will be for generations to come FINISHED!..~^~^~^~^~^. PRESIDENT OBAMA THIS IS A THRESHOLD MOMENT, STEP THROUGH!

brilliant psychological social analysis- why does it take comedians to point stuff like this out? How many paid pundits and analysts are on TV?

@Chibling What the hell are you talking about? Bush NEVER promised to close Guantanamo or retreat from Terrorism. We live in afree market economy. What you are suggesting would paralyze the WORLD'S economy. The fact that businesses can come here and compete as well as the possibilities to actually be rewarded for your efforts is what drives our GDP. Oversimplified, but the dynamics are true. Obama has killed any chance of recovery for the next decade with this health care nightmare.

[Chibling]

@blutsturmer In terms of policy he is doing everything Bush would have done. The problem with Obama is not that he is too left wing but that he is too right wing. Where is the government control on wall street? Where is the tax increase to the rich to balance the budget?

[blutsturmer]

@Chibling Obama has appointed more "Tsars" than any other President. He has gone on more days vacation in 3 years than Bush did in eight. He has increased the deficit more than any other single President. Everyone wants to blame Bush, O.K. at first, you have a point. He has had 3 years and the economy has gotten worse and the world now is declining as a result. Our bond rating is no longer AAA for the first time ever. Need more??

[blutsturmer]

@Chibling Firstlyl, I am not interested in any "test". You have no authority to administer any test. If you mean to suggest I did not meet your retort, I believe I did. Obama promised to exit from Afghanistan, and Iraq. Failed: To close Quantanamo. Failed: To create jobs. Failed: He gave Trillions to Ins. Co., Auto ind., Banks, and increased regulation for small businesses. He passed the largest most expensive entitlement system in U.S. history. He has increased the deficit for social expense.

[Chibling]

@blutsturmer You did not pass the test of providing three examples. Obama has done nothing but extend bush policies and give millions of guaranteed customers to insurance corporations.

[blutsturmer]

@Chibling You have got to be kidding. Name one thing he promised or has done that is not demonstrably socialist. Everyhing he has done lays directly at the feet of Socialism. I am not complaining, he deliberately and blatantly lied to his constituency to become President and has been lying to us since. No better or worse than the rest. I am just tired of people vilifying Bush and deifying Obama.

[Chibling]

@blutsturmer Name 3 socialist policies that Obama has proposed and passed.

[blutsturmer]

Obama ran his campaign saying he would be a Socailist and that is what he is.

This is a terrific analysis of Barack Obama. It's sad, but it's so true.
