    Almost half of the Nation want others to provide for them. And most of the other half have sat on their butts and done nothing to stop it from happening. Thus, we have a man as president that is more aligned with his Marxist teachers than the citizens of the United States.

    I just don't believe how many people would be willing to give up their freedom and liberty so they can have what they feel is a free ride from the government.... It's only free until the money runs out... Then what are they going to do? Obama must be voted out in November in order to save this country...

    I think we are in big trouble. If Obama gets reelected this country will never be the same. I grew up in the 40's and 50's. Life in America was wonderful. Much has gone on since then. The politicians are only out for themselves. The may go into office with ideals, but they are soon thrown aside for their own personal gain. There must be something in the water up there in Washington.

    Wether you agree with Romney/Rand we need to vote them into office. At least we will have true Americans in the White House.

    We need to surgically remove the dead matter from the House and Senate and cut the cancer out of the White House. Then we need to read the riot act to those that remain (chemotherapy) and tell them that if this matasticizes again, we'll march in and tar and feather the whole lot of them!

    Far too many people who have never produced anything for the economy, but living off the taxpayers' backs. Too many greedy peope having laws passed to benfit themselves at the expense of working taxpayers. And, far too many non productive & arrogant government employees living off the people who do the real work.

    I believe we are on the edge of being in deep sh_t, but if we get the right people in office starting next January, we can turn this thing around, and get back on our feet. It's not going to be easy. People of this this country are going to have to be personally responsible, and not expect hand outs from the government, the government is quickly running out of our money!

    Wow, Yes Americas parade has been rained on, In trouble? Not really. China has yet to start paying on there dept for all the money and supplies the US gave them from WWII. Kick out the lobby folks out of DC. Stop paying CEO millions and millions of dollars. Dump all these useless govt jobs and quit building them all these expecsive buildings. Govt spending on all these worthless jobs, just to bring a few bucks into one state then it fails or cost overuns. Get the govt out of schools. Let the teachers teach. Got a problem kid in school, fine, give him a dead end or dirty job to do. Soon that kid will want to get an education. Also cell phones, facebook, are not pasemakers, one does not need them 24-7 to live. Enjoy life, look around, You will see for yourself, how to fix this country. Millions spent on new parks and trails. Most dont even know of how many are right near by. If you have your cell shut off, might meet new people.

    Obama's administration has done tremendous damage to this country.

    Obama has devised a legacy of horror that we will suffer for decades.

    Obama is happy that his own efforts will make subsequent presidents look worse than they are.

    These are the reasons WHY America is in trouble ----Obama & unrepentant globalist, putting America second.Obama talked about united then divided America. He tripled the debt. We spent money our children will have to re-pay !
    Unemployment after 4 years is still over8.3% & Too many bailouts of big US businesses which was of.Special interest to the president.But after 4 years of failed
    policies it will be hard to blame Bush. Freedom is decreasing and the constitution has taken a back seat to government central control It is looking more like the USSA than the USA !!!!!!
    Do you believe America is in trouble? YES YES YES !!!!!

    We are no longer a true Democracy and our national freedom is under hospice care as we speak. We have embraced the motto of may the best loser win in our elected officials
    and allowed the abnormal minority to undermine our beliefs in God and what is truly right.
    How can America survive when we have forgotten the basic tenants of what it is to be American? and are unwilling to fight for our nations life as it withers from within. We are no longer the home of the free or the brave, we are the home of the frightened and lost sheep.

    ...beyond a shadow of a doubt. I'm not better off than I was 4 years ago. Gas is higher, food is much higher, services are higher, health and dental care is out of sight. We are heading for another 'recession' that is going to make the one in 2008 look like child's play.

    The progressive evil is embedded into our school system and the Democrat Party. They are calling evil good and good evil. The Democrats passed the 'Pedophile Protection Act' S-909 and are even now suggesting lifting the ban on gays donating blood! They put us into a recession with their mortgage meltdown. They point at others while they do all this.

    23 million Americans unemployed or underemployed, 14 trillion dollar deficit, millions of people loosing their homes, or not worth half the price they bought it for, OUR kids on drugs prescribed or other wise, open boarders, illegal immigrants fighting for their “rights”. NO job security, “everyone can be replaced.” OUR government NOT required to answer to the "people". Corporations making government policy, because “Corporations are peopleand they get to vote”

    The U.S. is living in debt on every level. We do not even make the products we need to sustain life. We now have a service (servant) economy with low paying jobs, and citizens are piling up personal debt. Their homes have lost value, and with employment drying up the average worker will be lucky to pay interest on what they owe. Our government has to borrow money just to pay back the loans we already owe. It is a vicious cycle on every level.

    The welfare line have become seriously longer. 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.

    Both major presidential candidates have backed policies that would make it easier to immigrate legally and would boost the numbers of people coming to the U.S.



    Basically, the United States is broke. We lack the financial strength to serve as global cops. The United States borrows from China and other foreign nations while mortgaging our children’s future. We blew through the $15 trillion dollar debt mark last November, and we will blow through the $16 trillion dollar debt mark later this year.

    "The most significant threat to our national security is our debt….” Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen

    When America’s most senior military member considers America’s reckless spending a greater national security threat than Al-Qaeda, North Korea, Middle Eastern conflicts, or rogue terrorists, America should listen, and yet we have warmongers pining for office, that the American people are supporting and voting for.

    So, Yes, we are in BIG TROUBLE.
