link there! damn those left wingers! he brings up a lot of valid points that most on the left would simply DISMISS and overlook in their blindness

I'll deal with just a couple of these.

The U.S. is mired in the midst of the worst recovery since the Great Depression: 43 straight months of unemployment over 8%. The unemployment rate when Barack Obama took office was 7.8% and today it is 8.1%

We were losing almost 800,000 jobs per month when Obama took office. With those kind of monthly numbers unemployment was going to do nothing but go up after he took over. Would it not follow the worst recession since the great depression would be followed by a similar recovery? By all accounts we are coming out of it.

More people are on food stamps than ever before -- 46.7 million.

Has nothing to do with the president but is a result of the recession. In fact the last time elegibility for food stamps was changed to allow more people on was in 2002.

So I don't see any rationale why we should vote for Romney. Bennet's only reason for not voting for Obama is he hasen't cleaned up the mess left to him by Republicans fast enough.

... and Republicans have declared blocking the recovery until after the election to be one of their goals.

So, we should vote for the party that is intentionally trying to delay the recovery, to punish the party that is trying to make it happen?

Because if it weren't form republican's then the Senate would actually bring bills to the floor and pass them, amiright? Also, it must have been the republicans fault the whole time they weren't in control that we didn't have a national budget. Funny you think the democrats are the party trying to "make it happen" when they can't even agree on a budget. Kinda hard to make real change with regards to fiscal matters when you can't even agree on a budget.

Exactly what I was going to point out, What do you expect from an opinion piece from someone who was in the Reagan Administration.

Quick, be spidey, say something crazy, make no good points ever, possibly say something racist!


Also feel I need to point out to the OP that the President's first name has a C in it and that when typing a proper noun such as a name that the first letter in each word of the name should be capitalized.

Just so you know the author is:

He was U.S. secretary of education from 1985 to 1988 and director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President George H.W. Bush.

Not attacking the source, pointing out that the source is supposed to be on your team but he saying his own team is fail, get it.

Lay off the reserve.;)

You know, whenever someone adds in Obama's middle name for no reason, it's almost always a good tell that the poster is pretty bigoted and biased.

The article doesn't refer to him using his middle name, only the OP.....Hmmmm.

It's like a secret code for saying "sekrit Kenyan Muslim". So OP, you think he's a Muslim? Why add in his middle name?
