@denbar I am glad she is a Democrat, because anyone with any education, sense about what is going on, would know that the republican conservatism is a failure!!!! We need Obama to bring the change which America desperately needs!!!! In 2012, America needs to give him a Democrat majority in both houses of Congress!!!!

@humblesophos and which Republican "deserves" a first term? Mitt?, Newt? or Rick? LOL. Over 50% of the GOP's don't even like their candidates and I'm not a democrat.

@Nomoremrniceguy100 you're dumb as fuck, unemployment is not at an ALL TIME LOW, going from 9.1% down to 8.3% does not make it an all time low, it would be nice to have it back in the 3%-4% range such as in the late 90's and early 2000's

VALUE OF THE DOLLAR ON A WORLD MARKET DOWN!!! TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN WAAAY UP!!!! SO WHY THE H@LL would I want to keep him in office...only if I were a self entitled, lazy, tree hugging, illiterate, lazy, individual hoping for free housing and insurance paid for illegally by wealthy hard working citizens would I want that!
