I believe the President’s policies are destructive and will harm our economy, our nation, and our sense of national self long term. I believe his policies have the effect of turning us into subjects of the government, not citizens in charge of it. Because of his expansion of the social safety net funded through class warfare, Mr. Obama’s policies will cause too many Americans’ fortunes to rise and fall with those of the government, unable to chart a course for themselves apart from government.


But I do not think the President means to do this maliciously. I do not think he is treasonous. I do not hate him. I am not outraged by it. The President has done what he set out to do. I cannot be outraged by him doing what he set out to do. I am far more outraged by the Republicans not doing what they said they would do.

One really needs to read the whole thing, to understand that while there are points of agreement, in the main, no. I think he's wrong for the most part.

May I suggest some read this?

I like this guy's comment

“In my opinion, the best thing the current – and now largely online – Right could do today is to start to grow up. It needs to realize that not every new talking point is the be all and end all of the problem, that the reason we think many media people are biased is because they think differently than we do, not because they hate us – and much of that results from our having been losing the culture war for so many years. They are not actually evil, or traitors to America, for God’s sake.”

Some on this forum need to take that shit to heart.

With Obama the problem is his huge ego, refusal to consider other options, and his short temper toward those who disagree with him. When he has sat down with R's during the Obamacare debate the dirty looks he gave Paul Ryan is well known. HIs telling R's "he won" also shows his arrogance. While I do not hate the man his policies stink and thanks to the takers he have to endure him and those policies for another 4 years. The nation did survive another incompetent liberal named Jimmy Carter - I do not know if the nation can survive Obama. The damage he is inflicting on the country may not be repairable
