And yet he's going to be reelected. It's absolutely amazing .. and a bit frightening. Then again .. those Maury, Springer, and Jersey Shore shows tell us the mental state of this country.

You missed the entire point. Look at the people on those shows .. on Maury .. on Springer .. on Jersey Shore ... etc etc .... Then tell me that those people have even a smidgen of a clue as to what is good for this country and what isn't. They are idiots. And those people vote. No wonder the 'best' this country has to offer is Obama and Romney. It's SPOOKY how there are vast numbers of stupid Americans.
It is so true. Sometimes, when I am feeling really dark, I almost agree with TPTB's desire to eliminate much of the population. Then I realize that idiocy is not a capital crime. I also remember that the government and the corporations are mainly responsible for the development of these "useful idiots". It is the entire purpose of our current public education system for example.

While true, have you asked yourself why they arose at that time? The election of Reagan was likely a shock to TPTB and they wanted to ensure that such a man was never again elected.

So why do you paint the whole picture instead of just a part of it.
Tell me what Congress has done in the last two years to help this economy move forward. Tell me what businesses have done to improve the economy. These two aside, there are many more reasons as to why this economy isn't growing as fast as it could. It doesn't live and die with one person.
But as usual, you may continue your Blame it all on Obama thread.
Not buying it. He had two years where he had the white house and dems controlled both houses of congress. IF HE HAD A REAL PLAN to fix the economy, why didn't he do it then? Sorry, fail

Obama is in a tough position. The economy is need of vast improvement and he's working with a congress which doesn't at all work with him for the betterment of the nation. Right now, we have more members of the house alligning themselves with Grover Norquist rather than the actual country. This is nowhere near a one sided problem.

Being a communist, there is nothing he could have done to help. Communism/socialism is not the answer. Corporatism/fascism isn't working either. How about we try something radical and get the government out of the economy? How about we recognize that corporations are not "people" and thus not deserving of equal rights with real people? How about we stop equating money with speech? How about we end this farce of a two party system? Bammy cannot fix the economy. He cannot fathom an economy without governmental control. Bommy can't do it either. He thinks corporations are "gods" and that they have all the answers. Both use the government to pick "winners" and "losers". Both believe in the paradigm of "too big to fail". Neither support a truly free market.

"fail"? What are you, 9?
OK, I'll humor you. Let us say that Obama should not have dedicated the first portion of his term toward healthcare reform and the ACA.
What do you suggest that he should have done that would have radically altered the economy. By republican standards, the country should have been booming since Obama extended basically every republican position that's been in place. (conveniently forgotten of course)
What is your contribution to the discussion beyond finger pointing or WMD regurgitation? What would have saved the day?
