A free people are governed, not ruled.

Over 8% unemployment. Food stamp spending up over 100%. A budget deficit that exploded under his policies. Consumer sentiment at a low. $4.00 gasoline. Wow. Hype and blame has replaced hope and change.

Since the GOP took over the House of Representatives, and the fascists have at least been slowed, unemployment HAS gone down. Thank you for stopping the train wreck of socialist nonsense.

First, the economy is THE issue. A recap-Bush and a Dem Congress gave us a housing bubble and took the economy to a cliff. Obama drove over the cliff, and kept his foot on the spending pedal ( a real genius that one), finally a gop House stops the unbelievable programs, regulation and spending, and the economy is barely recovering. Check the unemployment numbers over the last 4 years, progress didn't occur until the GOP won the House. Second, spending. The worst President EVER in terms of spending. According to the CBO, government employees make more than the private sector (and that has negative economic effects as well). And our children have to suffer inadequate infrastructure, education, and a military that is reduced so much as to invite wars just so that our nitwit President and his enablers in the Senate give out other people's money to try and keep their jobs. Third, this is the food stamp President. Entitlements, incentivizing our countrymen to sit on their butt while other people take care of them, and programs that are continually expanding, and continually demonizing those who are successful. Truly, the worst of all. The enabler for the lazy, this President has ENCOURAGED those who poo in our parks and streets rather than those who go out and bust their tails off every day. You want class warfare- you got it. Because it isn't the punks in occupy who are going to win.

Consider that. A 2 month tax cut. This is not a third world country despite their best efforts. Policy needs to be set, certain, pro growth, and incentivize success rather than the big bag of entitlement candy that President nitwit and his cronies are handing out.

You are a disgrace. The fact that you are still in office is a stain on my political party. The fact that you receive a salary from taxpayers and have helped run Portland into an economic disaster is sorrowful. Your attempts to help those who won't help themselves while hard working members of the public continue to get less and less for their always increasing taxes is symptomatic of the left wing nonsense that pretends to be anything but the political pandering that it is. You have darkened the doorways of our political life for far too long. I'm looking forward to your leaving office, and I hope your sexual predatory ways earn you a spot in not heaven.

What O has done first in Egypt and now Libya has set in motion chaos, not democracy. While I totally disagree with the invasion of Iraq under the circumstances, Bush made sure that everybody knew that there was going to be the foundation of democracy before we left. We have been responsible for aiding and abetting two regime changes and unleashed chaos. I don't think it's going to end well. The use of American forces and money should be well thought out, and the end game known. If killing bad guys is the reasoning for interjecting our armed forces (and I call bs on the Nato excuse), there's too many out there.
