Then why didn't you buy a better car 4 years ago when you had "hope and cash"? No jobs? How are you eating?

The one I have now has cheaper parts
I have too much experience for what ever job I applied for, my unemployment ran out, so I had to retire early, I'm getting about 1000 to 1500 dollars less because I couldn't wait 3 years to reach 65, because I am below poverty leveal madicade pays for what my medicade premiums, oh yes I get food stamps and because I live with my sister, have no rug rats, (kids), pregnant, or work the system, I get a whole 16.00 a month to get food to eat.
Thank God I have a sister that lets me live with her

No in one way, but YES is others.

I've had a cut in pay, thanks to the state, not the feds, but other than that, in many ways I'm better off. I'm no longer married to my ex, who was a liar and cheater. I've refinanced the house I got with the inheritance from my mother in my name only. Financially, other than the pay cut, I'm doing great, too. So, I probably should have said yes, but the pay cut came first to mind.

Gas prices higher
No enforcement from the present administration on our immigration laws
The present administration waging war against the states
The present administration dividing the country
The present administration waging class and racial warfare against the citizens

No. Overtime in my job evaporated about 3.75 years ago. We sure weren't paying $3.95 per gallon of gas back then either.

Obamacare authorizes real-time access to yours and my checking and savings accounts. What's to stop him from confiscating the 401K's and other retirement accounts in order to redistribute to his thug friends?

Can't expand a small business due to Obamacare taxes which will be prohibitive. All taxes going up, up, up on middle class, along with spending. Insane! Only the stupid will vote for Obama.

No not at all - my groceries are double and in some cases tripled, my gas is doubled and almost tripled and there is very limited income. Hell no I am not better off and will not be as long as Mr Incompetent is in office - it is his plan to put us all as servants of the government. He must go

But it's taken a whole lot of work and it's been incredibly hard. The government doesn't want me to succeed it seems.

I wish there was a "none of the above" choice. My life is better in some ways and worse in others, than it was four years ago. Obama has nothing to do with the quality of my life, however.

Lets see, 4 years ago I had a girlfriend, a good job, and no money to spend. Today I have no girlfriend, no job, and no money to spend. Hmm, I'd rather not work and have no money than work hard and have no money.

you are exactly the kind of person Obama wants to vote for him- why work when the government can provide everything for you- not you in particular, but as a theory in whole

The government provides nothing for me, btw, but you miss the point, which was that my girlfriend spent my money.
