Anonymous Coward User ID: 4148733 United States 03/14/2012 04:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Has nearly doubled the national debt in his 3 years in office. Certainly has doubled the price of a gallon of gasoline. Did not remove troops from Afghanistan. Blames Republicans for things he didn't do even tho he had two years of a Democrat controlled Congress and could have done anything he wanted to....which he did with the health care bill. The economy is just as bad as it was and there are millions of people who have simply stopped looking for work because there is none to be had that they can do. Of course, part of that is that we have a generation of young adults who were more obsessed with their cell phones, computer games, video games, and thinking they were going to be rich and famous than with actually learning anything in school. We have lots of lawyers but few actual engineering and tech people because the math was just too hard for their little pea-brains and their parents complained that they had too much homework and should get good grades just for showing up. Those that did go to college went for the "glamorous" majors like Mass Media Communications or what they assumed were money majors like pre-law and finance. Most of them are now unemployed or have part time jobs that they do badly and whine about. There are tech jobs available, but too many of our young people do not know enough to get them and never planned on getting them becauses those kind of majors were just too nerdy or geeky for them. Then we have the whole half of the young adult generation that should have never gone to college and simply gotten training as plumbers and electricians and and carpenters as well as truck drivers and bus drivers. Even now, they turn their noses up at that kind of work. So the economy is bad but it is also that we have allowed at least one or two generations to "fulfill themselves" instead of preparing for real life and its problems. None of which means we should re-elect Obama. NO WAY! |

He oversaw the creation of more jobs in 2010 alone than Bush did in eight years. He oversaw a bailout of General Motors that saved at least 1.4 million jobs, and put pressure on the company to change its practices, resulting in GM returning to its place as the top car company in the world. He also doubled funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership which is designed to improve manufacturing efficiency. He signed the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act giving the federal government more tools to investigate and prosecute fraud in every corner of the financial system. It also created a bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission to investigate the financial fraud that led to the economic meltdown. |
