The only racial division that I see Obama causing is how all the previously hidden racists are now tripping over their tongues trying to say that it ISN’T about race.
“Some of my best friends are *, but I wouldn’t want one of them to be President.”
And Obama’s also played more basketball than Bush did. What’s your point?

Obama has not made it worse, that’s just one point in a long list of Romney distortions and fabrications. By every measure except government jobs (thanks, GOP obstruction), the economy has gotten better since Obama took office. The scary thing is that more than 2/3 of Romney’s economic team were in the W administration, and his plans are like W’s, only more extreme since they include irrational, anti-science Tea Party sabotage ideas.

Well of course he has played more Golf!
shrub gave up after having so much trouble hitting the ball with that skinny little bar while trying to hang on to the thick end of the “Golf Bat”. Plus, running those 18 bases each time he hit the ball was a bitch!

Maybe we are lucky Obama works so little. When he does do something……. America suffers more.

It isn’t the President you need to worry about!
“No one’s Life, Liberty, or Property is safe while the Legislature is in session!”
Mark Twain!
Also, Obama has come nowhere near the level of pure incompetence, stupidity, and sheer ineptitude that the shrub showed from day one!

You know, the economy will do what it does, like the weather. Congress has more effect on it than the President. On the other hand speaking out on an important issue of human rights just might actually make a ddifferance.

get govt out of marriage entirely. If they’re not going to defend it, they have no right to license and tax it to begin with. Put you privates anywhere you want, but you make it my business when you expect me to subsidize it.

The first thing needed for compromise is to to present a position that is open to compromise. I haven’t seen a lot of that from either side. Opinion: The biggest obstructionist in Washington is not Boehner or Obama but Harry Reid.

The only people the GOP represent are ALEC. American Legislative Exchange Counsel, a corporate-backed and deeply conservative organization that OWNS Republican Congressmen and women. Backed by large corporations like Exxon Mobil, they sit down with lawmakers at national conventions and organize Republicans to disenfranchise voters,privatize public lands,prisons and eduction,undermine environmental laws, and promote guns in every crevice of society. The GOP lies it’s way past it’s responsibility in trying to crush the economy by sabotage of Obamas recovery. It has like Arial, misrepresented Obama and itself at every turn.

Now that it’s been found out , ALEC has lost Coca-Cola,Pepsi,the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Amazon as supporters. The high powered corporate lobbyists of ALEC have easy,private access to Republican lawmakers. They have power over them and OWN them, so keep voting Republican and watch your country vanish into corporate pockets.
