Yes.

Don't hate him, I just think he's an ass, an idiot, and could not think his way off of dangerous ground.

No, not personally, we began this sliding slope of falling many years ago, but he keeps greasing the rails.

I blame everyone who put him in office and most importantly, the Hollywood suck heads who supported him and the grassroot, punch drinking, door to door HS kids who thought he would make "Change". Well they got that part right, things have changed. He is in charge, for the moment.

Not that I haven't seen a few governments fall in my time.

Seems Oprah has also recently pulled her support of her favorite president, wow, what commitment!

Nice stereotype.
Care to be more specific?
Please refer me to the posts in which ‘we’ claimed that Obama destroyed the country.

This must be a joke right? Are you Lord whatthefuckever, honestly saying that? This must be a joke, right?.....:munchin

Back onto the thread topic, Obama must think running for election is more importan t than running America, IMHO. Can we please bring back Regan?

Every chance he gets. Perhaps you should present your arguments as to why he is not, since there are plenty of posts which reflect the mindset of many folks here when it comes to the current president. Or maybe you just enjoy stirring the pot...

Don't criticize peoples opinions. Argue with them, fine. Calling everyone a Obama Hater, not an argument.

He is the most inexperienced modern day president we have had. It shows every day. For example. How aloof he is when making a decision

You mean like a Kenyan born Muslim Manchurian candidate? :eek::D

How much you wanna bet, that in 2012, we'll be calling Trump, "President"?

IMO this is one of his best qualities. The thought of conventional "boots on the ground" in Syria, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia simultaneously gives me pause. I think we've dodged quite a few bullets recently thanks to the POTUS' 'indecisiveness.'

I was pleased to see Senator Mitt Romney throw his name into the hat. I am eager to see what kind of reasonable fixes he will campaign for. IMO it's going to be rough going for the elephants if they can't get a united front against the incumbent.

I don't hate him, I just think he is an idiot and does not need to be re-elected. My reasons are many. A few are:
1. Birthing controversy aside, I don't believe he is qualified by any means.

2. Since he has been POTUS, the number of bureaucrats making over $150K has doubled, most in the D.C. area.

3. Since Jan '09, $670B in tax increases and he is the first to want to bring up new taxes this year.

4. His insitency to keep "Holy Grail" social programs at the expense of defense, law enforcement, infrastructure and other programs that are truly necessary.

5. Kowtowing to foreign dignitaries!

6. Failure to take the border/illegal immigration issue seriously and allowing the Justice Department to actually sue a sovereign state.

7. Obamacare! Nuff said about that.

I could continue but that should be sufficient.

No. Most presidents have had some executive experience. Even Palin had it. That means making a decision. It also means being able to gather people to your staff who are experienced - so they can give you their opinion - and then you make a decision.

A lot of ex governors become presidents - not too many senators. We are paying for that now. The prez is a politician and has surrounded himself with election campaign type people - yes men for him - an echo chamber so to say.

Very well articulated Sir.

It seems to me that most of those who are, "on the fence" as to the dire reality our great Nation faces, are not criticizing anything, but just searching for opinions and answers. :rolleyes:

"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything," comes to mind.
