This whole left/right dichotomy is false. There's only might/right. Ron Paul 2012.

Obama

[MrsKellyPierce]

I honestly feel bad for Obama - I personally think he has done some great things.

He reformed the healthcare bill - which president after president failed to do.

He defeated Bin Laden

The only thing I wish is - he'd stop being so friendly and passive aggressive towards the republicans and/or tea baggers.

He should tell them where to stick it.

I really can't stand Obama. If he didn't spend so much money, we wouldn't have this problem.

Whoever said Ron Paul should be president, thats awesome.

Moron politics at work!

HE HE HE HE?? UMM BUSH BUSH BUSH ADMINISTRATION??

How easy people forget when convenient...

Bush raised the debt ceiling seven times during his reign...

He made tax cuts for corporations and the rich that SUPPOSEDLY was to make our economy better...WHICH IT DIDN'T.

Which is why our downgrade happened..Amy posted the press release!

When the Great Depression happened we had to spend money towards jobs etc by raising the debt ceiling to raise the economy. WHICH WORKED...

Everyone blames Obama for the 8 years Bush had messing it up..Clinton left Bush with a surplus The Bush Administration did a lot of wasteful spending and did it for 8 years. We were actually in the "black" when Clinton was in office...

You can't change what he did around in 3 years...

We wasted tons of money on this ridiculous war.......

Again how easy it is to forget

Obama now is hoping congress will help the Veterans and our soldiers coming home - so they aren't out of jobs.

Hopefully the congress will at least agree on this to create jobs...But with how the Republicans and Tea Party are going - I doubt it.

They are only for the RICH..not the average American...

[baller1987]

You're right! I kinda agree. I didn't like bush either, except that when he talked dumb i thought it was funny.

Yes the wars were dumb. And the rich don't need tax cuts, but you cannot make the case that Obama spends money wisely. It is absurd how much money we wasted on bailouts and are wasting on government programs that don't work.

Also, the poor dont get taxed hardly at all. (as it should be) Last year, my first year out of college I only worked part of the year. I made about fifteen grand. With my standard deduction and my low tax bracket, on average i was only taxed one percent. On fifteen grand I paid about two hundred some bucks. This country isn't "out to get" the poor.

By the way your very sexy kelly. Your husband is too.

Bush: "I believe human beings and fish can peacefully coexist" You have to agree with him on that one.

This post is clearly a joke! You need to stop

[MrF]

In the interviews with reps from S&P they say, quite plausibly in my opinion, that this is due the fact that our gov't can't agree on how to control deficits. For every $1 we spend, 40 cents are borrowed. I don't care how liberal or conservative you are, you should first of all be able to do arithmetic and realize that this won't work in the long haul.

Anyway, that must be a sweet job to be at S&P, wear a nice suit, sit around and drink coffee and issue ratings on countries and such ...
