Is anybody tired of Obama or the Democrats?

Intelligent and funny commentary.

I wonder how they will resolve the "interest rate problem". Keep printing forever ?

Americans are highly leverages on low rates. Moderate rates could crush the economy.



Also ..look at the employment participation rate ....

... and Republicans think their anti-welfare platform is a winner

I am tired of Obama and friends
The EPA kills jobs for the Al Gore Warming hoax.
Holder can't do anything without injecting race.
Chu wanted gas prices high, we are getting what he wanted.
Appointed judges are making up rules and not following the Constitution.
Benghazi was swept under the rug by them.
Obamacare has clearly shown itself to be full of problems.
They were against the war in Iraq but are warmongers with Syria and either side has our enemies in it.
Billions of taxdollars are being wasted on countries with broken relationships with US.
Obama threw a tantrum after gun control failed to pass even the democrat controlled senate, it wouldn't have done anything in Detroit or Chicago where they already have it and clearly doesn't work.

I'm a European, and I couldn't care less about Democrats vs. Republicans.

However, from an American perspective, I don't understand why you people hate the Democrats so much.

First of all, what is destroying the American economy is the Republicans. They are not in office, but they do hold things back.
They are the reason they cannot agree on anything in your two chambers (Senate/Congress).

Secondly, I don't see how Obamacare is that bad. Hell, we Europeans, especially Scandinavians, are PROUD of our Public Health Care system that, in America,
would be deemed "Socialist-communist soviet stalinist massacre".

You clearly do not follow American politics closely.

Republicans are not free of blame, but the Democrats are just as guilty of being ideology-minded fanatics as anyone else, and they are masters of spinning stories to make themselves look good even when they're the ones holding the smoking gun.

Obama won a second term because Mitt The Plastic Mormon was such a lackluster candidate who had betrayed his own moderate political stance in order to be ingratiated by the right. While the Republican political machine backing Romney had proven to be racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc. - only recall the voting suppression schemes, the same sex marriage bogeyman being wheeled in, the loony talk about "legitimate rape," and on and on. The Republicans only have themselves to blame for another Obama victory. And lest it be forgotten, Obamacare was in fact based on Romneycare - which Mitt ended up renouncing.
I will make no denials - I real like this President. Sure, I think the Bush era civil liberties violations that Obama has kept alive and well is a terrible mistake. But this President has also gotten us out of the costly and disastrous wars the Republicans had gotten us into, has expanded the access to healthcare insurance to millions of Americans who lived in fear of injury and sickness leading to economic ruin, or worse, having to live with said sickness or injury untreated, or even leading to death. It ought to be remembered, the right has always had the opinion that they have no responsibility toward those without. On top of that, Obama has promoted the extension of civil rights, in regard to gay marriage - and even if you believe homosexuality is immoral for religious reasons, in the civil realm, all Americans must be treated equally.
And speaking of Obama promoting equality - you said that this was done at the detriment of making America great again. How so? The founding fathers themselves had feared the greatest threat to the American republic was inequality between citizens. So no, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, and the others would never have agreed with the Republicans that America was all about one big free for all about making wealth, and those who fall behind be damned. Let it not be forgotten that the American south has achieved far more cultural and economic success since the end of Jim Crow and segregation, as equality has attracted much more goodwill from the rest of the country there, and all citizens have a greater chance at opportunity, black or white.

If things went to shite, I'd move to Russia, no joke.

I can't tell you enough how much of this is true. I guarantee that if the GOP had taken the more moderate approach instead of sucking up to the fundamentalists in their party, they could've gotten those undecided voters and won.

Of course the GOP were so in denial about their mistakes, that they instead blamed and insulted the voters for their "uneducated" decisions. Smart idea huh? Insulting the people you rely on to keep your party alive?

Mitt The Plastic Mormon

I'll just touch on a few of these......for now.

Obama won in '12 because Romney didn't offer enough of an alternative and Obama, in the role of president, was already a known commodity. By no means a desirable commodity but a known one with a degree of predictability. Also, there were more people on the dole between '08 and '12 and people vote their wallets.


I must admit that this coming from you surprises me. I thought you still believed that the south was living in the antebellum era.

How do you figure that? The south has obviously made great strides. That's not to say that there isn't reactionary elements in that part of the country hiding their racism behind the pseudo history of the Neo-Confederate movement, and behind fundamentalist religion.

I concede the term "Mitt the Plastic Mormon" was introduced to WP by a sharper wit than my own, that belonging to ruveyn.

There are reactionary elements in all regions of the country hiding their racism behind the pseudo history of the Neo-Confederate movement, and behind fundamentalist religion.

And for a while there in '12 this forum's left had it's collective drawers tied in knots over anything Mormon.

That woman is a friggin' idiot, as the right wing talk show hosts who keep booking her on their programs.
