    PTBB ( pass the buck barry ) not only divided the country but is well on his way to bankrupting it also, while blaming everyone but himself. Lets face it the guy has had almost 4 years and really not accomplished a damn thing that the majority approves of except his blind lemmings !

    He didn't make it worse, it was already worse when Bush left office because of his decisions. We shouldn't have gone to war in Iraq and spent millions of dollars there. Our plan was to capture Bin Laden in Afghanistan. He didn't stick to it, which costs lives and money. It was an expensive mistake. The President has and is turning this negative into a positive, we are seeing improvement in unemployment in many states. The job market is improving daily. The stimulus helped GM and many other businesses and is making a difference.

    Much Better! We were losing jobs hands over fist before he got in! Prove me wrong.

    Your right but he also said if unemployment is over 8% he should be a one term president. He also stated that if you gimme (his likable word) the stimulus money we'll fix the economy. They gave it too him and he certainly didn't do anything but help to bankrupt USA.

    It seem to me that he is doing ok for now. With a bit of help from the bigots he could get much more done! As for his saying that the unemployment wouldn't get higher than 8%, it was an estimate. There is no way that any one could predict that. So he was wrong big deal I'm sure he thought the congress would be more willing to help the country than eat party crap!

    He had almost 4 years now and all he's done is blamed everyone but his self.
    Even if it was true as he claims,that it's everyone else fault,what has he done to make things better? Nada....Buh bye Barry..

    It is better since the stimulus, and is making regular improvements. GM is certainly proof that the stimulus is working. We will have a jobs bill if the do-nothing Congress stops pandering to the Koch Brothers, Karl Rove, and the Adelson money Paks.

    Really??? Every time that idiot opens his trap about energy anything the price of gas goes up! In the past 6 weeks gas has been coming down! 75 straight weeks of gas increases and your going to tell me that obama's policy's and congressional actions don't play some form of role???
    After three years of adding regulatory hurdles and blocking exploratory access and development, obama’s policies are helping keep prices higher than necessary. Having only three percent of federal land available for oil exploration is not a “market condition.” Obama is keen to accept credit for the windfall of oil production in North Dakota and in other private areas outside federal control, where jobs are plentiful and unemployment has plummeted. Meanwhile, production on federal land is decreasing and regulatory conditions are worsening.
    The Keystone pipeline has bipartisan support and continues to be consistently popular, polling at 60 percent in November 2011 and 57 percent in late March. 69 Democrats joined House Republicans on a vote of support in April with Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-CA) saying: “I think the president has made a very serious mistake here.” Duh!!!! Ya think!!!!

    obama continues to block it and the jobs that come with it. Had Obama not delayed approval, up to 830,000 barrels of oil ...

    obama continues to block it and the jobs that come with it. Had Obama not delayed approval, up to 830,000 barrels of oil per day would have come from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries by as early as 2013. That’s more than we bring in from Venezuela, our fourth largest importer!
    And gas prices have nothing to do with the president?!! Gas prices has doubled under obama!! What was it well under $2.00 a gallon when obama first took over our government!!??

    Yeah. Really. The president DOES NOT control gas prices. We'd be in a lot worse shape if McSenile and Caribou Barbie had won in 2008. I can't believe you're willing to vote against your own and America's best interests and hand your future over to your greedy corporate overlords.

    I have voted along party lines for almost 40 years now. But after voting for obama in '08 and since then seeing what hasn't been done. Mainly the economy and jobs has hurt my family immensely, there has got to be a better solution. The solutions of this administration hasn't had any bearing on anyone or anything except Wall Street, the banks, and the auto industry but all on my dime. So what do I do? How much more can the previous administration be blamed, especially when it was my own party that ran congress!! I was raised to take responsibility for my actions by a 40 year union member that poured money into a system that he believed was for the working class. But what I see now it is more about the non-working class. And now illegals are allowed to have work permits while people like myself are all out of work. So again I ask you who do I vote for That whole "Hope and Change" thing again and how do I explain to my family that voting for failed polices is the right thing to do.......again? Or do I hold my breath and vote for hopes of change? My family and our survival comes first. So I am at a loss here, where do I turn, who do I turn to?

    Anyone who after forty years jumps from one party to another hoping that a change of ideology will somehow suddenly or magically improve their life isn't seeing things clearly. It took a very long time for America to dig the hole that it's currently in and it'll definitely take time to dig ourselves out. Recovery is always slower than decline. If you're really all that worried about failed policies, you should really be worried about letting another Republican back into the White House. You're not the only one having a hard time. You're certainly not the first to have a hard time and you sure as heck won't be the last. Don't fall prey to right-wing rhetoric and propaganda.

    I am trying not to but the grass is looking better in some cases. I know I am not the only one hurting, but the truth of the matter is that I am and my family are the ones I am mostly concerned with at this time. I have suffered in the past, but not like this. It seems that the bottom has fallen out of everything and not just construction or manufacturing or real estate. It's like everything is going or gone. I have never in my lifetime totally agreed with any one president. Nor have I totally disagreed with any one president. But now I am not so sure.........

    It's most unrealistic to blame President Obama for things that started long, long ago. He's done quite well and he's currently doing the best he can given the mountainous right-wing opposition he faces daily and it's more than enough to get my vote in November.

    You have to keep fooling yourself that Obama will get reelected because that's what LSM tells you..
    Oooobaaaamaaa. Ooooobaaamaaaaa!

    Deep down in your darkest moldy regions,you really know he's going to lose.
    That's what makes you so angry and childlike..
