Never mind, I already know what you will say. Tax the rich at 80%, they have not paid their fair share.
There you go again, telling liberals what they think....and, of course, you are wrong. Can you cite a source where a liberal has suggested taxing the rich at 80%? Certainly not here. Why lie? what does it gain you?
As for my position, I want the United States to improve the economy and make life better for the average joe, and I believe that Obama and the Democrats have a better chance of doing just that than Romney and the Republicans. The Republicans had their chance and drove this country into the ground with their spending and tax breaks for the wealthy and 2 wars and a medicare Rx plan that wasn't paid for. Handing the country back to them would be a disaster, IMO. The Democrats definitely have their own issues, and there are many things that I disagree with that they have done, but far more that I agree with.
I have no problem with you having a different opinion, and disagreeing with me and other liberals, but why not state the facts you disagree with, not the made up garbage like wanting 80% taxes on the rich?

You cite the republican spending as the cause of problems- and I agree- then you must also agree agree that the Democrat & Obama spending in the last 4 years which is even more than the republicans ever spent- is an even bigger part of the problem, right? You must also agree that expanding the government in the last 4 years is also not paid for, in fact it's all borrowed money. If the republicans caused problems with wreckless spending, then the democrats have done the same- except on steroids.
Otis- good for you posting the anti-Obama stuff. I hope you do it everyday because there's more than enough to post everyday and still not scratch the surface.
And besides- you might catch somthing that I miss!
If that is really the way this site is gonna be for the 8 months, see ya in December.

And it only makes sense if Congress and the courts are blocking you, use executive orders & appoint czars. All Presidents do it.
Yea but the other Presidents didn't think they were Kings like Obuma and go ape$hit.
Look forward to posts Otis. Thanks in advance.
IN NOVEMBER 2014, WE HAVE A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAN OUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE AND ONE-THIRD OF THE SENATE! DONT BLOW IT!

Well, since we know the whole "Obama doesn't love America"/"Obama apologizes for America" is an unprovable pile of GOP horsesh*t, I personally find such threads to be about as funny as Romney trying to explain his car-elevators.

LJ you are living under a rock- Obama apologizes for the US everywhere he goes- and this is very well documented- for 3 years now.
My god he's worse than Carter.
I tell you what- the only apology Obama needs to make - is to America and it's citizens. When will this arrogant ass do that?

No need... FauxNews is famous for selective editing. No attack from me is necessary.
However, after watching the hatchet-job, I still find that anything Obama said was untrue. I guess the Right doesn't like truth when they hear it, and would rather hear the usual crap from empty nationalists.
Here is some Republican "truth" for you....

I guess starting TWO unnecessary, unpaid-for wars, based on Bush's lies is what you'd rather see. I find that Obama suggesting that it's TRUE that we started unnecessary wars based on Bush's lies rather refreshing. I hardly find that "apologizing for America"... But then, Sean Hannity and his selective-editing crew? rofllol
