Just as he promised, Obama has fundamentally transformed America. State, National, International, posted by Dana, a resident of the Amador Estates neighborhood, on Aug 21, 2011 at 12:29 pm
Change for the Worse.
America downgraded.
Exponential increase in debt.
Exponential job losses.
Exponential increase in the size, control and power of the Federal Govt.
Phenomenal disregard for the US Constitution.
Dramatic reduction in the freedoms of Americans.
Dramatic rise in the cost of living.
Dramatic increases in people dependent on government welfare.
(Hey, Pleasanton Weekly...how about writing an editorial DEFENDING the above since you were so vehemently in favor of Obama, McNerney, and the other Socialist Democrats? Are you happy now that America is significantly weakened?)

I forgot to mention.
He has refused to give me a tax cut.
He has refused to acknowledge that I am the boss of govt'l workers, and if I say they shouldn't tax me (IRS) they shouldn't tax me.
He doesn't take enough vacations: 77 days since coming to office, which is way behind Bush's 224 at same point in his administration.
He thinks he's good enough to vacation with the good people on Martha's vineyard.
He refuses to acknowledge that I pay his salary and that I want that uppity black buck to take a pay decrease.
Who does his wife think she is gallavanting all over the place and telling our kids to eat healthier?
Combined with the above I mentioned in previous post, this is too much. All so-called respectable media sources should showcase my miserable life and lack of intelligence.

I'm a loser too. Why can't Obama pass a jobs bill over the objections of the Republicans? Why can't Obama pass a new stimulus bill over the objections of the Republicans? This socialist tyrant is too weak to be an effective socialist tyrant. Why can't Obama raise taxes on the rich? If he's a tyrant like I always say he is, he should be able to do these things. Then, if he did them, I could go on to criticize him for being a tyrant.

As long as the Republicans veto anything this socialist president of ours attempts to pass, whether it be extended unemployment compensation or some kind of fancy-dance jobs bill, I'm okay with him in office. The important thing is that the hundreds of millions I inherited from my Daddy is untouched and unregulated. I wanna be able to move my money around as fast as I want, if you know what I mean. The best govt is no govt. And my proud GOP has been making sure it's no govt. Beyond saving me money, what else should we be concerned about?

sorry boner, i submit to you that obama is extremely competent in that all this destruction is deliberate. thete is no other excuse. regarding the s&p downgrade, they explicitly told obama and congress how to avoid a downgrade. the paul ryan plan would have met s&p's benchmark to avoid a downgrade. obama and the congressional democrats, including our socialist mcnerney, voted against the ryan plan. obama and the congressional democrats deliberately want to destroy america and its free-enterprise system...to replace it with (failed) marxism.

dana,
If I agree with your opinion that Obama is trying to purposely destroy america the next question would be why? It is interesting to note that the old russian communists said that america would be destroyed from within.

Obama wants to turn us into Kenya or Indonesia or the Univ of Chicago. Or Hawaii. It's because of his Kenyan father and his upbringing in the mattresses of Indochina. He obviously wants to destroy us all. Then he can go back to Univ of Chicago and be a hotshot like he thinks he is.

Let's see some proof of his/their deliberateness. Cosmic coincidences within the last decade do not reek of global conspiracies to me. Where is the beef, Dana?
Suggest you get a copy of Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb from the library, and open that closed mind of yours just a bit.
