Spending to the tune of 24.5 % of GDP. Nonsense. Tossing Mubarak under the bus. You support a brutal dictator rather than a people's desire for democracy? Why am I not surprised. Alienating every ally in the ME. You mean Gaddafi, Bush's hero, and Basher al-Assad of Syria, both of whom are brutal dictators. I sense a theme growing here with you re. brutal dictators. Growing Government while shrinking the private sector... He has added 230,000 Gov jobs and managed to unemploy 8 million from the private sector. I guess you haven't see a chart depicting job gains and losses over the past three years" The brown spikes are the job losses in the private sector Bush helped to create. Notice how the blue spikes begin to grow smaller once Obama takes over the presidency. Dude, you wingers have nothing. You are empty suits.....nothing more. Blew $860 mill and promised unemployment would stay under 8%... its now over 10... closer to 20% here in Ca. Yes, in the early months of his presidency, Obama underestimated how bad unemployment would get. Of course none of us how badly Bush and his cronies had screwed up until we were well into the Obama presidency. As for CA, most of its problems have more to do with the state and Prop 13. Past Obamacare and managed to raise health care premiums for all while not even understanding what was in the bill he signed. Passing Obamacare was one of the most profound and important contributions Obama will make to this country. At one time, Rs like Nixon were supportive of Obamacare. What has happened to your party? A sure sign that he doesnt have a clue.. How can you expect lower costs by adding another layer bureaucracy between the Doctor and patient ? Our health care system was broken long before Obama came into office. His Afghanistan policy has been an illustration of what happens when half measures are used during a time of war. Announcing a withdrawal date will be the highlight of his presidency.... Right after his Libya war. Announcing it as a humanitarian venture while Iran and Syria slaughter their people in the street. Obama has been one of the more astute presidents when it comes to foreign policy and military intervention. For the first time, our allies are sharing some of the burden of military intervention. We finally caught up with bin Laden. We are regaining the respect of nations who no longer trusted the US under Bush. For the first time in US history, the people of the ME are asking an American president to support their bids for democracy. In fact, globally, Obama is one of the most popular US presidents in US history. Unlike with Bush, Obama is greeted like a rock star when he travels to other countries. You should be proud! I could go on but you should do your own analysis right after the chill down your leg stops. Even you should understand that a large gov payroll equated to large unemployment in the private sector. In fact, Obama is doing such a good job I would like him to serve 4 terms instead of just two. Obama, Obama, Obama..............
