The first 2 years of Oblamer's presidency the Democrats HAD control of all 3 branches. I don't remember seeing any balanced budgets. I do remember having a few things shoved down the throat of the American public along with a pile of spending.
Speaking of taxes. Do "cap & trade" or "value added taxes" sound like things designed to help the "working man".
Don't get me wrong, you wont see a Romney 2012 sign on my front lawn either. They are ALL crooks . It has not been of/by/for the people in a LONG time, which is why I firmly believe that more government control = more problems for the "majority".
We don't need the government to make gas more expensive to force us to "alternative enery". We need them to get the F ouut of the way of American Ingenuity. Obama is just as guilty as ANY Republican of selling the people down the river in trade for campaign donations. Throwing our tax dollars at failed tech like solar panels is just as bad as pushing "Big Oil". Get the lobbyists & activists out of Washington (ALL OF THEM) and see what the private sector comes up with then...

Please tell me you don't honestly believe that Republicans want to limit women's rights? That is effing idiotic.

You mentioned "total control over everything" :

Pres Obama, a democrat, had a super majority in the senate and a majority in the congress for the first 2 years he was in office, isn't that considered "total control over everything?" Was that too short of a time for them to pass a budget and get some good things done?

Solyndra :

You talk about a "bunch of friends doing a circle jerk" : Do you know the details about Solyndra? Do you know who was running it and what kind of shape it was in at the time they got their loan? Obviously not. Please take some time to read up on that one, before giving it the "better luck next time" treatment.

I didn't vote for him, but I believed that he could do good things. But what has he done?

He said the stimulus would keep us under 8% unemployment, it didn't.

He said he'd unite the country, he hasn't, I'd say he's done the opposite.

He said he'd balance the budget, he hasn't.

He said the $4 tril debt that President Bush rang up was "unpatriotic," he's rung up more in 3 years than Bush did in 8!

Not Washington State..... yloDiscoII......

LOVE IT!!
Looks like the "Right" wing's hero, Regean, had the biggest increase.
Who knew? Oh yeah, everyone without wool over their eyes.

Our Gov. has sold out to big corporations, we need to get the money out of politics, ban Super Packs and have public funds and "free" air time on tv.
Let the people decide, given the facts and only the facts.
There is a "truth in advertising" law for all manufacturer, Ford cant lie, neither can GM or Honda, why can a person running for elected office?

Yes I honestly believe the Republicans want to limit womens rights, look at what they are trying to do with abortion and birth control all in the name of "religion".
But what they are forgetting is in the Constitution there is the separation of Church and State, meaning the State cannot govern based on the Church.
Just because the Bible might say something is wrong does not mean the Gov can.
Whats right for me may not be right for you.

Do you think Obama is the first elected official to ever try to help friends while in office with Gov. loans or Gov. contracts?
Ever heard of Blackwater? You know who their friend is right? And that they have the sole Gov. contract for protecting US personnel and interest's where the US military is not involved.

There is no silver bullet.
They are all bad.
All we can do it try.

Whoa whoa whoa... You really believe the democratic spin that this is an assault on women? Open your eyes man! Granted the dems are doing a great job of forcing the repubs to put thier foots in their mouths over this whole subject, but it is nowhere near what they are making it out to be. This is about the Obama admin FORCING a religous instition to provide something that conflicts with their beliefs. So, we let this one go. Fine. What else do we let them FORCE us into? Exercise some caution with what power you willingly hand over to a president (Dem or Rep). Let's all learn from the "patriot act" that was for our own protection....

On another note. Show me a woman who got knocked up and was forced to have a child that she didn't want SOLELY because she worked for a religous institution and had ABSOLUTELY NO access to birth control. If you find someone who fits that bill, then maybe I'll start believing in Eugenics. It's out there. There are a pile of other ways to get it. We have free will in this country. If you don't agree with an employers/schools policy move on to another employer/school...
