This is not to say that Obama's track record is without faults, but things are only going to be worse with Republicans. Lesser of the two evils, and all that.
LOL you obviously have no idea how bad the democrats are. So far they've made the debt and economy worse than it already is and the health care is a joke. The republicans are already in motion to win the house. They already have 110 seats to the dems 60 for congress.
Anyway I have restarted my collecting hobby. I just bought another 3DO game on ebay which brings my total to 5. I'm still looking for a good copy of gex for cheap and the 6 button arcade sticks.
I have a very clear picture how bad both parties are. I haven't been following the US political system for nothing since the Clinton administration.
LOLbama's healthcare sucks ass because he kept on giving ground to companies AND Republicans who kept chanting "Healthcare is Socialism! We don't want no Socialism in America!". The original offer was better, even if not enough, and I'm comparing it to the Canadian healthcare system as well as France's, which are good examples of developed nations with competent healthcare systems.
The debt is bigger now, yes, but that was unavoidable anyway. It's the consequence of keeping W. Bush in the office for eight years and letting run rampant with his War of Terror first in Afghanistan and then Irak. Why couldn't the US get out as soon as LOLbama entered office? Easy. Those are failures of states. They were way before the wars. Still, those same wars aggravated the situation to the way it is now. In Afghanistan, the Taliban are a threat that just can't be controlled. Worse yet, those crazy fundamentalists now have an even bigger hatred for the US, and no doubt will plan attacks one day. Before, Afghanistan just wasn't much of a concern for the US. No military budget needed to be wasted there. Now, the US can't get out of that hellhole.
Irak is no different.
But one of the main reasons for the failure of the US economy is because banks "lose money", then start crying for the government to save their sorry asses. That's a good example of socialism there. The kind of socialism that can't be applied to healthcare, lest the United States of America turn into another Cuba.
Then, LOLbama rescues banks, and for what? People still suffer.
Now comes the Tea Party making a fuss against the LOLbama administration... OH CRAP... Those wankers are funded by the same banks the government was so keen on rescuing.
