Are you also going after Bush/Cheney for the $4 trillion they owe Iraq and Afghanistan?
Or is this just simply an Obama thing?

Obama should owe the world 4 trillion dollars.
when, or should i say IF, Obama ever steps down from office after his term is finished (yea right, we all know hes going to declare marshal law and totally enslave everyone and be the president forever )
that Obama should owe that money, and not the U.S.A.
i am an American Citizen, and i did NOT give my crazy president permission to put everyone so much further in debt.
Obama owes the world that money, not us.
also, he should stop destroying the constitution and give us our freedom back.
stop telling me what to do, stop telling me how to do it. stop telling me when, where, or why.
i do not belong to you Obama, and you are NOT my representative.
Where was your outrage about the debt ALL the previous presidents racked up?
Oh yeah right, they were white....
And you were prolly to busy calling everyone who disagreed with GWB's policies a traitor and an anti-american, cause that how it worked back then: against Bush= traitor
Pathetic!

you don't just get freedom, you earn it.

Ahh. Then you realize Obama was elected democratically by your fellow citizens, and holds very little actual power. Oh, oops, ya don't. On the plus side 5th grade will be fun next year!
Oh yeah right, they were white....
i didn't vote for him. don't troll me bro.

I figured and I'm not trolling. Obama is (unfortunately) our democratically elected president. All of his f-edupidness falls on the shoulders of those who voted for him, not just himself.
Also, pretending the president has more than the power to stall isn't fair. He is pretty powerless. I still really dislike the guy, but lets not pretend he is the only issue. Or even the largest.

i don't believe we are in a true democracy, because it isn't actually everyone voting like this:
what it should be: everybody votes, 100 votes for president A--------- 101 votes for president B.
it is obvious that president B should win.
what it is right now: president A gets 100 votes, B gets 101 C gets 104 D gets 230
all votes go in to some electoral collage or something, all votes flushed down toilet, messed up point system, and a ton of corruption and confusion later....
president A wins....
this is a democrazy.

Yeah... The founding fathers thought of that and why the Electoral College was created. It may not be great to some people but Democracy in the true sense is tyranny by majority and it's that simple. Pure popular vote would pretty well leave the center of the nation without need to even go vote.
Why bother? The top 10 metro areas would decide the presidency. Period. They pretty much do already by the fact the same states have the highest populations for Rep and delegate count, but it's still half way fair. Make it mob rule, and even that fairness is gone.
"some electoral college or something" makes me think you're not really familiar with the system or the fact it;s been our system since clear back at the start of things. The U.S. is a representative Republic and that is a GOOD thing. The problem isn't our system, it's WHO they've decided to represent.
If we get people to represent US and not those with the most money to corrupt the system with, it will work very well again.

Because we aren't...we are a representative republic....because the founding fathers made it clear that a pure democracy was bad.
It is one of the things they actually got right.
