So does anyone think Obama will dump Biden and make Hillary his running mate? I think if that happens Obama is a lock to win which is kind of ironic.


He should, but he's not.


I mean I don't think Obama getting reelected will be anywhere close to the doomsday scenario Republicans will have you believe will take place but at the same time I feel like Romney has more potential to get the economy going again. Also my main beef with Obama is he's basically embraced the whole Occupy Wall Street movement and engaged in some warped form of class warfare, which is disappointing because he started out as a moderate.


The President has about as much influence on the economy as he does the weather. There are several key factors here. The global economy is one of those factors, and it affects ours just as ours affects theirs. The second factor is Congress. This is by far the most important as they dictate policy. Only THEY can implement a Presidents plan. Now, lets look back and see how the Republicans have stonewalled Obama his entire tenure unless it was somehow benefiting them.Congress has turned into a dog and pony show. Guess what? If Romney gets elected, what do you think the Dem controlled Senate is going to do after 4 years of the Republicans doing it? They are going to absolutely shit on any and all legislation so they can point the finger at him at the end of his term and say "Our candidate is better."

400 billion of the stimulus was tax cuts...but yeah, Obama has no business regulating wall street or imprisoning all its crooks that fcked this country.

Unless you abolish the Federal reserve, get back to the gold standard and revoke the legal tender laws nothing that either one of these guys do will prevent an upcoming collapse. Up to 50% of our debt comes due in 2015 and unless the Federal Govt shuts down completely and raises taxes, there is no way in Hades that we are going to forestall hyperinflationary collapse unless we default on the debt. ANd even then things are going to get nasty around the globe. Don't be surprised if we get hit a gain with another spectacualr terror attack, then we hit Iran and maybe see Israel roll tanks into Lebanon again. This is playing out like the crap that happened before the prelude to both world wars.

Just for clarification, it's the smallest percentage of increased spending since Eisenhower. :) He's a between 1-2% increase spending which is low. The problem is here, that the dummy before him jacked spending through the roof which makes the overall numbers huge. :(Star Wars: "Who's the more foolish...the fool or the fool who follows him?" - YouTube

So by your logic, Obama is an even bigger dummy than Bush since he still increased spending and did nothing to fix our broken entitlement system...wow, we agree on something political.

Gotta love this, can't wait for Obama to be re-elected and see more of this type stuff once ObamaCare takes over the healthcare system.

Even in the People's Republic of NY, they don't want the regulations on baby formula (now who's trying to tell women what to do with their bodies and their kids) and sodas.

He's not the bigger dummy because he didn't start the wars, but your point about him reducing spending is valid. I've always termed Obama's administration as Bush's third term.
