Obama is the worst president we have ever had. I guess that's what we get for people voting for him even knowing he is also the worst qualified ever. How many everyday people can spend more than they make on a regular basis then ask the boss for a raise? To top it off how many blame the person that did their job 2 1/2years prior for current problems? Talk about immature, when is Obama going to start taking responsibility for his screw ups? He also needs to quit using scare tatics to try and get his way. That 800plot billion dollars sure helped the economy along with the addition stimulis bill he railed thru. What an embarassment he is making the USA look like to the rest of the world!

You are a closed minded, disgusting human being. How do you live with yourself typing such vile ignorance and hate. You are backwards, you are racist, you have zero knowledge, and you are a sad pathetic lonely human being. Please never leave you basement. The world will thank you for it.

Lets first pull together by limiting government spending. I see a consistent message lets pull together from democrats, didnt hear that when you were passing Obamacare. Now the tune is lets compromise. Not a chance limit your liberal spending ways.
