Did not like the limited answers! It is rather REMARKABLE that the Democrats would even ALLOW a convict to be posted against the President... that is in itself disrespectful yet plain stupid!
The fact that DEMOCRATS were the ONLY ones allowed to vote in this election and greater than 4 out of 10 choose a CONVICT over obama perhaps tells the rest of us just how much OBAMA is disliked.... even by his own party?
Is the 'Anyone But Obama' Tactic Smart or Silly?

If you think Mitt Romney is President Obama's only hurdle in the upcoming election, you're wrong. It's Mitt Romney, and... pretty much anyone with $2,500. In Tuesday's West Virginia Democratic primary, inmate Keith Judd trailed by just 18%. That's right, inmate. As in, behind bars. One West Virginia voter explained, "I voted against Obama ... I don't like him. He didn't carry the state before and I'm not going to let him carry it again." So, he voted for Judd. Or, as he put it, "That guy out of Texas."
A little more about Judd. According to Politico, Judd has run for president in every election since 1996, and actually finished third in the 2008 Idaho Democratic primary with 1.7 percent of the vote. He's a former Hollywood musician who claims to be a "Rastafarian-Christian," and lists Richard Nixon as his favorite president because "he got us out of Vietnam, and began world peace with China and the Soviets." Sounds pretty solid. But we've got to ask: Is the "anyone but Obama" tactic a good idea?

Obama has played your preferred candidate, (ABO).. like so many fiddles. The brilliant ones amongst your ilk know this. They UNDERSTAND this. Wait, oh WAIT untill the final act unfolds.
He lost our AAA credit rating due to overspending and inability to produce a budget plan that would reduce the debt, causing future homeowners to have to pay higher interest rates and making it harder for future president to reduce the debt due to higer interest rates.
He re-instated the patriot act NDAA and strengthened them with additional executive orders, reducing the rights afforded us by the first amendment.
He issued an EO that forbid those under 18 from working on family farms causing farmers additional financial difficulty and stripping rural teens of jobs.
He signed hr347 which limited right to assemble and protest protected under the first amendment.
That is the first 5 that came to mind i can list more if you like.
Or STFU.
Your one to talk you haven't backed up any of your silly little amateur opinions.
The AAA rating we already discussed and I posted my link which had the S&P Warning.
NDAA no secret he signed it.
Full list of EO's on whitehouse.gov site
HR 347 also common knowledge it is everywhere.
Seems to me that people WANT a shill for the WEALTHY in the white house!
Is it the Presidents' fault that his opposition decided to PRE-oppose everything this democratically elected President was elected to do?
So should the constitution be ammended to defang opposing political parties.. Or just congress?
You do realize that is how dictators like Kim Jon Il are created, by weakening anyone that can oppose the will of the executive branch. Our forefathers had seen this happen before and in order to prevent it from happenning here they set 3 EQUALLY powerful branches of government so that no one could gain power over the other.
It was in that context that McConnell said, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."
Garrett asked if that meant "endless, or at least frequent, confrontation with the president?"
Said McConnell, "If President Obama does a Clintonian backflip, if he’s willing to meet us halfway on some of the biggest issues, it’s not inappropriate for us to do business with him."
In other words, in the very same interview, McConnell said that he'd be willing to work with Obama if Obama is "willing to meet us halfway." That's called compromise. And that sounds very much in the spirit of Obama's call to "seek out common ground."
The other comment Obama referred to came from House Leader John Boeher in a radio interview with Sean Hannity on Oct. 27, 2010. It was made in the context of the health care bill, in response ...

The other comment Obama referred to came from House Leader John Boeher in a radio interview with Sean Hannity on Oct. 27, 2010. It was made in the context of the health care bill, in response to retiring Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) saying it wouldn't be a good idea to repeal the bill. "This is not a time for compromise," Boehner said. "...We're going to do everything -- and I mean everything -- we can do, to kill it, stop it, slow it down." We think Obama's comment leaves the impression Boehner's "not a time for compromise" statement was more general in nature -- as opposed to being specifically targeted at the health care bill.
As for McConnell's comment "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," that sounds an awful lot like Obama's summation that "his main goal after this election is simply to win the next one." But while McConnell said it, Obama left out an important detail -- that McConnell also said in the same interview that he is willing to meet the president halfway.
"This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this," said Pres. Obama,

So the republicans were willing to compromise but Obama was not.
This is also what led to the USA loosing it's AAA credit rating. Something that has not happened in 70 years.
For the first time in history, the United States last night lost its perfect credit rating, with Standard & Poor’s dropping it from AAA to AA+.
The move by the credit-rating agency could affect everyone in America, with mortgage and credit-card interest rates rising and even gas prices heading up.
"The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal-consolidation plan that Congress and the administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics," S&P said.
The debt-ceiling deal was projected to lop off about $2 trillion from America's deficit over the next decade, but S&P had previously warned it would downgrade the credit rating if the cut didn't reach $4 trillion.

President Reagan came into a worse situation the misery index was at 20 in his first term he lowered it by 10 points.
Obama came into a misery index less than half that and increased it by 3 points.
So we need to change drivers before this one sends us of the cliff.
Cleaning up after GWB in Iraq
Putting Alquida. (whatever) in boxes... or the defensive.
Always the picture of intelligence and honor. Personal and National honor
NO serious bs while in the big chair.
Pretending to not notice, (and therefore enhance and make us all look mis-informed, racist, etc) your bull sht post.
Please... BestPresident in ATLEAST A GENERATION. Period!
Obama started his term with unemployment at 7.8 it is currently 8.2 which means he has lost more jobs than he created.
yes Obama has killed over 200 terrorist Bush preffered to capture them for information on thier friends as he did with 588 of them. [which one is the 'peace' president again]
He has shown very little intelligence or honor but hardly any patriotism.
If you would like to claim it was photoshopped I have the video as well and this was not the only time he failed to show respect for the flag, pledge, or anthem.
WORSE PRESIDENT IN 30 YEARS AT LEAST !

As far as Nixon ending the War is really wrong. Because the Communists defeated S. Vietnam and took Saigon.
