I can honestly say that it wasn't mine. Had it been, they would have first laid down some cover fire, and then tackled you !

I think Obama has done a mediocre to poor job, but I hope he is reelected in a land slide. That should force the GOP to abandon their current far right posture and move back to the middle. In the late 90's the GOP and Clinton compromised and brought us 4-5 years of growth, increased revenue, and brought us to a deficit neutral budget with projections of being able to actually pay down the dept. The Bush tax cuts were supposed to be deficit neutral, but instead have added greatly to the deficit and didn't product the growth that they claimed they would. Tax cuts for the uberwealthy just don't create growth or jobs, it's demand that creates jobs. Until the middle class can hold their heads above water, jobs aren't going to increase a the same rate as we've seen after other recessions, but rather similar to the depression where you saw the same kinds of income disparity. 1% of the population can't create enough demand for goods and services, it has to be the middle class driving demand.

Clinton was a likeable guy and had a good cabinet with some smarts. Thus he could get things done between the two party's...give a little, take a little with some check and balances. Obama is a far left Marxists and I don't like him at all and his cabinet is riddled with incompetency. And last of all, Clinton came in on after 8 years of Reagan economics, so he was setting in a good position to move the country a little more forward.

And Obama came in after 8 years of arguably the worst president of all time who left the country broke, busted and in financial failure. Even after that Mr. Obama has pulled us out of unnecessary wars, the economy is at it's best in 10 years, improved school lunches for kids, saved the banking industry from collapse and kept the auto industry from tanking. Not bad for 3 years in office. And, his numbers are up not down.

While I'm not a total supporter for President Obama, you have to give credit where credit is due. Also apply blame where it belongs - we have the most incapable and inept Congress in a century. That's where legislation gets passed (or not). The President leads and signs passed legislation - he can't drag a dead mule (Congress) to the water and make it drink.

Eliminate all lobbying - especially that by pharmaceutical, insurance and financial companies and let Congress do the work they were sent to Washington to do. Oh, and charge everyone (especially the richest) an equal tax burden so that you and I (likely middle-class) don't pay more than our share of the burden.

Denver,

I would like to know...

Which exact "wars" are you referring to?
The economy is at it's best in 10 years? Which country are you referring to? Surely not the USA.

I don't know business you are in, but the President's office has nothing to do with your business. The banks who control credit and lending and individual's personal finances do. It also depends on your industry, your market and your market share in that industry. If you are in a business driven by discretionary or disposable income versus required consumable goods your experience will be different. This year we picked up numerous municipalities and agencies while doubling our walk-in customer base. We just finished our annual inventory and ran our final financials yesterday. Our business is up 31% this year. That is consistent with the last 3 years. We've been open now 9 years. It takes a few years for the 20-25% of new businesses to start to thrive. If they ever do. Nothing to do with anything above a local level. The only place we've ever struggled is on line. That's gravy anyway.

Yours. Do you not pay attention to jobs reports, unemployment reports, stock reports? My business was up 31% in 2011. You can't believe anything you see on Fox.

Dude. How many unneccessary foreign invasions do you need? One is too many. Getting Iraq behind us will stimulate not only our economy but (hopefully) other country's as well.

More false statements - do you really believe this? What anti-business laws? There's no business in my area that's not thriving. Don't drink the kool-aid. Be specific about your comments. Again, LAWS aren't passed by the President. They come exclusively from the Congress. So NO business law, even the ones you haven't specified, comes from the President.

Good thing no one takes this too seriously.

Wow, Ok here we go............

Fact, Obama health care bill,this was Obama's baby. He said if it past that all Americans Health care would go down, and everyone would have health care coverage.....Wrong! Fact everyones heath care cost has gone up it will still go higher.Fact their is more people without health care coverage now then before Obama's health care bill was past.

Obama's health care bill forces all Business to proved health care for their employees and if you are an employee with really a really good health care plain you get to pay taxes on it.

You are entitled to you opinions but you are not entitled to your own facts.
