    It's funny but Obama hardly got going with being respected, and then proceeded to lose it as fast as it came.
    Something having to do with being a failure I assume....I do believe he has done one thing though, and in record time. Proving Liberal economics just does not work in this country is something many of us knew, now everybody does,,thanx to Obama and company..

    He has also shown they will keep at it until everybody is broke, it is then and only then he obtains an equal playing field in his mind. One problem though, it's not the money that makes it an unequal playing field, it's the ambition of the person and the strong families that are behind them.
    If you started with a clean slate tomorrow, the cream would still rise to the top and the dependents would still be the same dependents...and those dependents would still be Liberals...

    Oh, so he requests the pork, then votes against the bill knowing the bill will pass (which is what he does)?


    That is a raging hypocrisy. Asking for the money, then making a show of voting against it knowing he will get it anyway.

    No you're not.
    You people aren't interested in anything except flogging your asinine world view.
    Ron Paul is not a player, he's a dreamer.
    The gold standard is no longer an option because the world economy is too big to be based on a limited supply of gold.
    It's just another reactionary "solution" to today's problems.
    You people need to start looking forward, not backward, if you ever hope to get a clue about how to deal with things.

    No, they're not. Governor Palin is an ex-governor and I'm not sure who the other one is but I'm pretty sure it's someone in Congress so he wouldn't be a world leader either and neither of them should be.

    Now, the nitwit in the White House isn't a world leader but he should be. His feeble attempt to "lead from behind" is laughable.

    I should probably yield to you as an expert on delusional but I doubt you even realize you are delusional.

    Obama is a union goon who wants to p7ursue failed socialist policies like his heros, Castro and Hugo Chavez.

    Your hero worship of Paul is nauseating. Almost as bad as the fawning parasites slobbering over Obama.

    Do you actually believe that? Obamacare has very little to do with it. The Tea Party is a right-wing populist movement, which rose in response to the economic collapse. They are just like many other right wing populist movements which arose in similar circumstances. They tried to blame the problems of the country on big scary institutions far away(as populist movements always do), big scary "others" in this instance Mexicans/blacks/Muslims, and they call for a return to the values of a previous time which they have romanticized in their heads!! They are a cliched copy right out of the right wing populist playbook, on what to appeal to during economic hard times. The tea party will go away as soon as the economic woes do, and if they don't go away, the Tea Party is just the tip of the ice-berg when it comes to reactionary/radical political movements that will rise over the next few years.

    is a complete ignoramus African dictator who thinks he is in Burkina Faso but was ACTUALLY ELECTED in the USA. The Tea Party was an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY to ensure that this MORON does not completely destroy the USA. The Republicans should do everything possible to ensure that nothing happens until January, 2013. If the USA public is stupid or gullible enough to elect this moron again, granny, get my gun, it's gonna be an interesting ride.

    From your perspective, you would rather see the government enact no policy to attempt to improve the economy until 2013? Are you one of those beleivers in policy minimalism?

    I have concluded that our government must do everything wthin our power to restore fiscal sanity, monetary sanity, and ensure private and public sector job growth. I beleive that a normative economic approach is necessary to address our economic issues, not a positive economic approach. Too many people on the right consider that we have the ability to implement a positive economic structure, when that has never been the case in our nation's economic history. We have always been a mixed market capitalistic economy, regardless of your interpretation.

    Government does the most to help the economy when it does the least to help the economy. The thing is that none of Obama's policies have worked.

    Yeah, I've been saying if this half breed gets re-elected by a sizable proportion of brain dead voters--then we will certainly have a second revolution; for I suspect the reasonable people of America will arm themselves for a bloody battle to save America from outright socialism and from financial destruction. Don't worry though--we patriotic Conservative Americans will win in the end for we are the gun owners and they are the anti war pacifist/peacenick wimps.

    Stretch351c said, government can't do anything to "help" the economy. The best approach is a policy approach of low taxes, low regulations and as much as I hate to say it now, no minimum wage. In a globalized world, anything else is sacrilegious. Communists, move to Europe now or face the consequences in 2013 (or 2015 if a Republican is elected for president and the Senate becomes R). When the dollar collapses, the USA Republicans and Democrats will be equivalent to the Rwandan Hutus and Tootsies.

    This video pretty well bears out what you have said.

    Obama, a complete idiot.

    Reagan used to be a Democrat as well. People change. It is very appealing to me to support someone who had the temerity to realize the error of their previous ideology, and then reject it - like David Mamet.

    In many ways, these are the people best employed to teach others the foolhardiness of the opposing side: much like a person who emigrated to the US after living under a Communist regime, no one is better equipped to warn of evidence of laying the groundwork to implement such ideologies, and keep us on the wise path.

    I'm not saying Perry is the perfect person to do that, but I can think of myriad far worse choices.

    You are very correct, Subdermal.

    Especially when you say, "Reagan used to be a Democrat as well. People change. It is very appealing to me to support someone who had the temerity to realize the error of their previous ideology, and then reject it - like David Mamet."

    It was Winston Churchill who wisely said, "If you are young and not a liberal, you have no social conscience; if you are older and not a conservative, you have no common sense!

    I remember a survey where people thought the actor on "West Wing" would make a great president because he played a great president on the television show. To me, that's pitiful. Obviously, most americans find that pitiful because look at what they've elcted. Rachel Maddow, raging liberal, refers to him reverently as the "Boy King". How's that for Presidential?

    I happen to admire President Truman. He wasn't, in a Hollywood sense which is what you're talking about, presidential. His speeches were horrible except for one thing. He tended to tell the truth. Not something President Obama has ever tried. His goal is to be the most eloquent liar ever. President Truman was actually rather a bumpkin. Not a great public speaker but a much better than average president. No one would have compare him in any way to President Carter.
