    They don't............they just don't piss and moan about them and use them like a crutch to justify their pathetic failures.


    Yes we did............no one said he made the mess, just that he not only has no clue how to fix it but everything he does is the opposite of what's needed to right the ship.

    Reagan didn't ***** about how much Carter screwed up and put the country on the brink of disaster.........he just fixed it.

    The office is sought after.......not assigned. You wanted it and now you got it, good and bad. Don't blame other people because you suck at your job. Stop being part of the problem and get the hell out of the white house if you aren't going to clean up the mess.


    If that bothers you man you must hate Obama........he adds that every couple months.

    And why do we think electing another president is going to solve anything? Einstein's great quote: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

    So Restupicans haven't solved our problems, neither have the Dumbocrats. Maybe governmnent is neither the answer nor the problem. Or, maybe, if we (the people) are the government, as the Constitution says we are, maybe we (the people) are the problem. Maybe we should do something different... Ron Paul has some weird views but is at least pushing for less government but he would probably be a lame duck president for touting policies outside party lines.

    I don't know how to clean house at this point but we definitely do need a paradigm shift that stops believing that stacking more kindling on the fire is going to put it out.

    I used to hold on to the illusion that my government could be run Godly (or even lesser morally)...over that.

    I used to hold on to the illusion that my government could be run fairly...over that.

    I used to hold on to the illusion that my government cares about the working American...over that.

    I used to hold on to the illusion that my government could run honestly...over that.

    I used to hold to the illusion that my government would always defend my rights...over that.

    I used to hold to the illusion that my government is something I could be proud of...over that.

    I used to hold to the illusion that my government......oh who am I kidding, it isn't mine, yours or anyone else's that isn't part of the ivory towers that buy the government off.

    To be honest who cares how we got here. Obama claimed to piss rainbows and poop money with his angelic speeches and promises...I want my dang change that is now over due! (no I didn't vote for him, but sure wish he'd do some of the things he promised he could do...naive and arrogant is all he ever was or will be)

    Does anyone know if any of the candidates can pull a bow and shoot straight?

    I know Pres O is good at basketball. What about archery?

    Agreed.

    At least Iraq has now been cleaned up.

    Hopefully Afghanistan is next.

    Bin Laden was recently cleaned up, and wiped off the floor. In case anyone forgot to notice.

    There may be little or no hope for the economy however, no matter who is in the White House. But obviously whoever is IN the White House is going to be blamed by whoever WANTS to be in the White House next.

    I think once everyone truly realizes there is nothing that anyone can do about the economy, then everyone will get down to business and start analyzing all the candidates on both sides more reasonably.

    As long as we don't get a lunatic in the White House, like Palin, or Bachman, it does not matter much who is the Chief Executive.

    I can live with Ron Paul. I can even live with Rick Perry. And if not one of those two, then 4 more years of Pres O would not be all that bad or different either. Pres O has finally learned the job, having been too inexperienced to do much out of the blocks to begin with. Now that he is trained it might actually make sense to keep him around for 4 more years.

    Romney reminds me of Nixxon. Smiles just like him too. Herman Cain reminded me of Clinton, although Herman Cain's wife would not stand up and go to bat for him and his womanizing like Hillary did for Bill.

    Santorum thinks his own star is starting to rise, and we shall see.

    Six of one and half a dozen of the other.

    Should a man be judged by the comapany he keeps? Check out Obamunism's church affiliation and the person he has referred to as his spiritual mentor. We elected this... knowing he sat under these views for 20 years. Maybe we deserve what we got... this was known and made public long before his election.

    And like the problems leading to this disaster of an economy began in 2008, which many people definitely failed to notice.

    We got to change not return to the old ways. Not saying Obama has the answers - he has SOME – but the alternative is rolling out tried and FAILED solutions.

    Give us something new.

    Wow....seriously! If I ran for Mayor of a local city and promise everyone it will get changed and I don't change it...my word means sh**. Every politian, and I mean every politian needs to stop trying to act like they have all the answers, they can figure out our nations problems....instead be honest about it, say we're screwed up beyond belief, say it's gonna be a tedious crawl back out of the hole we've dug ourselves, say he can't solve all our problems but will attempt to do so with the help of his cabinet, members of Congress and the American people's voice!

    Obama promised all these amazing things would be fixed...he chose to face the problems THOUSANDS of factors have created over the years....HE CHOSE TO SAY IMPOSSIBLE PROMISES...so do not tell those of us hard working Americans to man up. We've been manning up daily going to work, supporting our family's and our God harder than ever in these ridiculous times and will continue to do so no matter how much red tape and money the government continues to take from our class's hard earned pockets.

    If I went to work and told my boss, "Sorry not getting the job done, the person before me really messed everything up." I'd be fired...THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO LIVE ON MORE THAN EXCUSES.

    NO matter how this next election turns out it doesn't look great for us (the person I feel is the most honest and most fit won't get elected). But you know what? I'm going to keep on keeping on, because I have to, my family requires that of me...it would just be nice for once to have a President I felt was working their freaking tail off for us and not the 1 or 2% that control this country.

    Man up...you can take your man up and stick it where the sun don't shine...because sorry I was raised excuses are like ***holes no matter how you word them all they produce is ****.

    *I debated deleting or editing this post for a while, but I'll leave it as is. I do apologize if I offend anyone, but it's my honest gut wrenching raw opinion on the matter...but I do admit a fault of mine is not holding my tongue enough sometimes and for that I am sorry.

    I believe thats 4 votes now! I'm cool with Tebow as VP. He would do all the work and I could sit back and do nothing, and still receive all the credit.
