So you think deregulation and giving the corps what they want will get rid of the debt. Right, they will just outsource more jobs and ruin the environment. We will be living in a third world country, with polluted water and air.

@ZStanley14 soetoro is a tyrant the fact you're not seeing this is not only extremely disturbing but illustrates my point. More EO's huh? That's freedom alright...NOT called a dictator. People are rising against him because we see what a fraud he is. Unfortunately you'll let others do it for you.

@Livefreerevolution I've read history books enough to know that decisive leaders who have a grand vision and the courage to see it through change our world. There have certainly been tyrants, and many changes have been for the worse, historically. But I believe that if he were to become a tyrant, the people would rise against him and replace him. Freedom is in our blood. More Executive orders!

Here is an example of a compromise. Two 1st graders were doing math together. The problem is 2+2. 1 person said the answer is 3, the other said it is 4. They did a compromise of 3.5. Compromise does not find answers!

@2010GOP

Why is it that most republican backing people on youtube have to swear at the liberals to get their point across?

I applaud those comrades of yours who supply facts and do so without the need to verbally assault the opposition. Good show guys keep up the good work. As for the others please go back to raging on your blogs and keep things more diplomatic when talking about our countries domestic policies.

Dear Mr. Sparkle,

Maybe now you understand the challenges George Walker Bush faced on the job, including how impossible the Presidency can be sometimes.

Maybe you can ask GW for some advice. He loves America a lot, so I'm guessing he'll be happy to help you carry the world on your shoulders, as he did for eight years, without much support.

I'm hoping the candidates in the 2012 race will treat you with kindness and respect as you run your race -- this time with a heavy handicap, the Presidency.

@superman0dmm Perhaps you should instead, look into the tea party (not even moderate republicans) but this famed tea party, aiming to 'take our country back'... into the hands of whites unable to stomach the thought that a filthy little "nigger," no matter what is educational background or prior experience in politics brings to the table, can do because he truly cares about his country.

Because that's whats really going on here...

Obama in all his appointments couldn't upend the vast and complex system of democratic government already set in place. Even if he approaches the black devil people like you claim he truly does, his political appointments don't penetrate deep enough into american politics to make him the sole contributor to any of the nations problems. And the four years in which he's been in office simply isn't enough time to turn American Democracy into the listless dictatorship you portray it as...

@superman0dmm And no president has ever lied before? Ever? You first stated that he single-handedly destroyed the economy. Now you are unhappy because he 'lies' and misleads. Whether or not that's actually true is irrelevant. Bottom line is that your changing language throws all your statements, as well as your motives, into suspect. What you're arguing is inconsistent and perhaps a poor way to hide ones true emotions and intentions.
