Presidential experience.

I find the concept of how much talk there is about experience for presidential candidates a little off. I am no fan of Obama, but as people here make all the comments they make, the following comes to mind.

1. Obama has about 3.5 years of experience as president, yes many argue he has not done a good job, but when you talk about experience at the job, the inbumbent of either party is often the winner of that arguement.

2. It seems to me that wanting all this business experience out of your leaders is because you have essentially given them the helm to all the businesses in the US in addition to much of the funding. Perhaps the "conservatives" should try the concept of not needing someone who can run their business in office and keep that person employed in their company. I ask the "conservatives" to please stop this demeaning talk.

3. How much business experience does it take to protect liberties...something that is not a priority in most, if any businesses (they are going for profits)? We need experts on liberty in office, not experts in business or babysitting. Govt regulation is the #1 killer and aborter of businesses and thus jobs for those that don't have their stuff together enough to go out on their own (and they don't have that stuff in great part due to the hurdles they asked for to make their jobs easier - ha).

So the presidency of the United States is one of those jobs where after 3.5 years of bad results, we should just vote for another 4 and hope for the best? Experience in the WH is great as long as the president learns from his mistakes and doesn't double down on them (which I believe is what Obama will do).

Standing by for the Bush/Romney deflection...

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

RESULTS are what we want. Obama has given NO RESULTS. Get rid of him.

ENOUGH of Obama's "on-the-job" learning.

The first president to finally get health care reform passed.

We certainly got results finally finding bin Laden -- even giving the OK to go into another country to get him.

I'll take those results over aircraft carrier landings any day.

The health care reform he shoved down the nation's throat is free health care for minorities. That is the gist of what he passed; a very huge welfare program. It will bankrupt us.

Obama is the perfect example of the Peter Principle. He peaked at being a senator. He simply doesn't understand economics and how to pick the right people to help run the country.

Q: Why in the world would anyone vote for an incumbent POTUS who is clearly bent on bankrupting the Nation?

A: He's a Democrat.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
