>> He was also a Senator from Illinois..

Don't be ridiculous. He was a senator in name only, and for only ONE HALF of a single term. MORE THAN HALF of that time was spent campaigning for office.

Obviously, in that time frame, there was no important legislation in which he even participated, let alone played a significant role.

His record in office qualifies him to be re-elected.....averting an economic depression and killing Bin Laden alone make it so..

Look, you can say this as often as you like but it simply doesn't make it bigger than it is. Bush had already saved the economy when Obama took office. If Obama had done NOTHING, we'd be better off today. This is clear.

As to bin Laden, had it been up to Obama he would not have been killed because we wouldn't have had the intel that led to his killing. And it is a fact that any president, no matter how incompetent, would have made the same decision. It was our military that killed bin Laden, not Obama. Obama simply said, "Okay".

......Just think,our debt load would be a lot less if we hadn't had 2 unpaid-for wars,

Yes, those wars cost over 10 years about what Obama's "stimulus" -- wasted -- cost us.

Yet, Obamacare massively increased the cost of this program. A point you never quite want to respond to for some reason. How the hell do you even bring this up?

,and unnecessary tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Tax cuts that increased revenue. Right.
