Obama networked his 08' campaign better and tapped into the college vote with his "register early" initiative on major campuses all over the country. That helped him greatly in the election.

The only morons are the American people as a whole.

Getting fired up over which pandering criminal will be better in the Office of the President.


The problem is career politicians, lobbying, and size of government.


Obama will screw up the country the same amount as the next Republican President.

I like how everyone focuses on the president at all times when his powers are limited compared to congress. I don't get it with you America, I try to understand but it just doesn't make any sense.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

I don't know about you guys, but everyone I know was better off during the Bush years. He got the economy back on track during the recession that followed 9/11 attacks, which were a direct result of the Clinton regimes intelligence failures.

Didn't he drop interest rates which led to an increasing in borrowing, which helped accelerate the housing bubble growth and collapse?

 

-----signature-----

No.

Though interest rates dropped while he was in office, he did not drop them.

The Clinton Regime's intelligence failures were a direct result of people like you voting for assholes who bankrupt the country.

Basically, you have a Cycle in the US:
Democrats get a crappy economy from a Republican President, spend all their terms cleaning it up which leads to making the Republicans look good when they get back into power and break it all.

Repeat.
