It is very easy for me to have an arrogant attitude about NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA. A couple hours of reading about him, told me what a monster he was. I question the intellect of anybody that could have thought a socialist with a DEEP HATRED of America would solve ANY problem.

I am mostly focused on economic issues and Bush Jr was racking up a giant debt Okay, but the first term of zero was racking up debt- Why vote for him a second time? I had friends who's kids were killed over there. Half my family was in the military. Don't even try that sanctimonious line with me. You know nothing of me and my 30 yr military career. I have seen what war does and is. So how many Gold Star mothers do you exactly know by name and how many is half your family? Where Bush lost me for good was his response to the Financial Crisis. It was basically an extend and pretend policy coupled with ZIRP and QE. So if you hated ZIRP and QE so much why vote for Zero a second time? Zero was responsible for ZIRP not bush. Bush was responsible for QE1 but Zero for QE 2&3. He intended to let every banker gangster off without holding them accountable, despite all of us old enough to remember knowing we have a real good template for how to handle financial crises, just like we did during the S&L crisis way back when Finally something you are half-correct on. Yes we had a template from the 80's S&L but the damage didn't happen until late in Bush's term. So Obama in your mind should have been a hero to prosecute all these evil doers, but he didn't for some reason. Things that make you go Hmmm. Then Obama came in talking about uniting the country, getting us out of the Middle East, and energy independence. I grew up in Texas and I knew we could be energy independent on oil alone Where in TX? How did you know we could be energy independent? Shale Fracking didn't come in earnest until after 2008 and Obama energy policy was build on Solar and Wind and wanted to put TX and WVa out of business. In TX through the EPA as it relates to water. So I doubt you know much about Economics as you claim. Satisfied? And don't get holier than thou No I am not satisfied and I am not holier than thou, but you are seriously conflicted if what you said above is true and you vote not only once but twice for zero. Because there was not doubt what Zero was from the get go and if you couldn't see it in the first term, then you have very little credibility now. G-n-G
