    So 75% of a term is not enough time?

    And I guess disagreeing with the Whitehouse makes me hate America….. I must be racist too….

    Is this the best you can come up with Red?

    Can you count? He took office in January 2009, it's a few months past 50%. You expect him to reverse 8 years of republican failures in half a term? :lol:

    Who brought up racism? Not me. Trying to change the subject?

    Why don't you tell me how a President that inherits a situation where 750,000 jobs are being lost a month and changes it into 250,000 jobs created a month . . . is a failure. Tell me how inheriting an economy in recession and pulling it out in less than a year is failure? We are all but out of Iraq, we will be out of Afghanistan before the 2012 elections saving us billions, so how is that a failure? He ordered the killing of bin Ladin, the killing of the somali pirates, he stepped up missile strikes in Pakistan, so how has he failed in defeating terrorism?

    He hasn't.

    It blows you away, amigo.

    As usual your definitions leave much to be desired. Speak clearly and ask a straight question.

    Social security needs to be reformed but it does not need to be eliminated. Gosh I hope the GOP runs on that platform!

    Show me where we are out of this mess?

    Prove it.

    I still see 9% unemployment and increased spending…
    We are spending more than we take in, that’s the failure. Keep blaming Bush though and see how far it gets you…


    The racism was a joke to you asking why I hate America…….

    I serve my country every day!!!!!!

    I also love how you cite Bush for starting wars as it relates to spending, but yet Obama gets praise for increasing the spending in that area…..

    The praise was for implementing exit strategies that will save us many $Billions in war expenses. First things first. It is unwise to decrease military spending until the threat is reduced.

    Were were posting surpluses and paying down the debt until Bush irresponsibly cut income. Who else can you blame but the man who turned it all around? Bush added Trillions to the debt that you are blaming on Obama.

    As was my remark, did you not see the grin?

    So tell me, what is Obamas plan to pay down the debt? Don’t cite a tax increase. What measures is he going to take.

    The only way to fix this is to cut all loopholes and deductions out of the tax system. Everyone and I mean every single adult and every business pays a low tax rate. Rates could be lower if there were no deductions. If your rate is 15% you pay15% without any way to lessen the amount you pay or adjust your income. Next have a balanced budget amendment where the government spends not one penny more than it takes in. If there happens to be a time when they bring in more than expected, it goes on the national debt. Everyone pays. Every business. Each Adult person regardless of race, age or INCOME! Everybody!
