I disagree with the comments about this being Bush's fault. I voted for Bush and I don't agree with everything he did. But obama makes his own choices and he is sinking this Country into so much debt, who knows if we will ever climb out of it. I know many people out of work, just as you probably would know. But obama makes his own choices and Bush is not making obama do anything. I agree with those who say Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin for 2013. I would like to see Mike Huckabee in there as well. Thanks for listing what Palin and Romney stand for.

I didn't vote for Obama and I will never support him. He's the worst president if he really is the president since we have no proof of his American citizenship. His policies are bull crap, he's lied on everything, and he's changing America into a socialist country while he becomes a dictator. He's going to become the next Hitler unless we do something. He keeps lying and lying and I see right threw him. He cares nothing for America or it's people. He's doing things, he's destroying our Economy as we know it. Nothing he has done has helped. Not one single thing. He spends and borrows, and us as Americans go farther into debt because of him. We'll never be able to pay back all that money. Most of it we haven't even made yet. My kids and their kids will still be in debt. It started with Clinton and his NAFTA bill sending our manufacturers out of the country and Bush with excessive spending, and Obama who's continuing it only 100 times worse. He is out to destroy America. That's his objective.

Everything has been a lie thus far.
Obama is a blowhard who throws numbers around that can not be substantiated at all. He needs to get off the continuous campaign bus and put as much bipartisan effort into working with the Republicans in Congress as he does at every opportunity to make nice with all of the Muslims.

In 2012 we must vote for Governor Mitt Romney to become our next President starting on January 20, 2013 , and we must vote for Governor Sarah Palin to become our next Vice President on January 20, 2013 bcause of their superior rightwing conservative philosophy .First Governor Mitt Romney is smarter economically than Barak Obama. Secondly Governor Mitt Romney's and Governor Sarah Palin's superior rightwing conservative philosophy is shown in that they are pro God and Christianity, pro life, pro marriage; pro guns-second amendment, pro low taxes, pro low government spending; pro small government, pro unintrusive government, pro traditional and Judeo Christian values; pro Bible reading and prayer in our public schools, pro Christians schools and private education , pro private and free enterprise; pro military spending, anti arms agreements with Russia, pro creation; pro nuclear, pro conservative supreme court judges, pro American sovereignty; pro capitalism, anti communist, anti socialist; conservative on immigration, and pro constitution. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are of the inferior liberal and left wing ideology in that they are against every thing that Governors Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin are for and they are for every thing that Governors Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin are against

I'm not saying Obama's policies are the best right now. But, he really doesn't want to sit around and do nothing. If he was sitting around and doing nothing (such as Bush was for many years), he would be blamed by people (especially Republicans) for sitting around and doing nothing while the US spirals down further. He's trying. May or may not be the best tactics, but he's trying.
To say Bush is not at fault in all of this just means you're a blind Republican supporter. Timmy, you're probably one of those who thinks Republicans can't do any wrong. Bush and his cabinet new exactly where we were going economically speaking years and years before all this went down. The spending of billions and billions upon billions of dollars in a war that has provided no results whats-so-ever and has not fulfilled any of the goals we had in mind is probably the biggest blunder of all time. On top of that, I'm sure they put pressure on Greenspan to keep those interest rates nice and low in order to keep the mortgage and loan industry on crack cocaine. Greenspan knew exactly what was going down and he jumped ship just before it all collapsed.
It was all planned to have the economy dwindle just when Bush was leaving so that it would seem as if he had no blame in this. He did. With all the spending, borrowing, and interst rate fixing they did for 8 years, I'm surprised we haven't compeletely collapsed yet.
Don't think like a Republican or Democrat, Think 4 Yurself...

By saying 150,000 jobs saved is worse than not saying anything at all. This is just another something to laugh at and for the public to continue realizing just how bad his policies are. It took a short time, by thank god Americans are seeing right through his transparency-suit.
He's afraid of running out of time to pass his destructive policies so he'll just keep on TRYING to snow us with speeches and blame Bush. He took Jan 20th and started running a muck rather than correct things. Socialism is NOT the answer.
