    Could you give me things he has done in office.

    Http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/obamas-promises/

    Here you can see what promised and what he has done....

    And why the fuck didn't he come to office like a fucking animal, accusing bush,trying everything to pass he's reforms...

    Even he failed it would seem like he tried, and when the shit hits the fan, he could just say:"well I tried to pass reforms, but you wouldn't let me"

    I can't believe he tried to find a common ground whit the republicans... -_-

    Last time I checked it on my phone (which gives slightly different figures, but it's the same site) he was in the mid/ high 30's range. While that sounds low, consider the republicans in congress are sitting around 12%, and if you factor in the works in progress he is over 60%. The basic point is, the notion that he hasn't done anything, is simply incorrect. While there are a few prominent, glaring, broken promises, he has done a lot more then people give him credit for

    Of course he has done something but for the fuck sake why didn't he come to office like people expected him to... Like I said "like a fucking animal"

    why would you vote for him again! (he's continues the war in Afghanistan for example) is there no one else you would like more than Obama ,to sit in the white house for next four years....

    The only thing I like about Rick Perry is his promise to get rid of social security payments. They cut to much out of our paychecks and never will come back to our generation or that of my parents

    On the Obama thing, what most people don't realize is that the President can't just come into office, start snapping his fingers and make stuff happen. It's all got to go through Congress. The Presidents job is to enforce Congressional Legislation. And as long as the Congress is evenly split between partisan pawns, nothing will get done.

    Obama, like many democrats have not been fighting for anything. To Obama's credit tho, he managed to pass some reforms, but they are still rather pathetic to say the least...

    Well, in all honesty, and I'm not trying to lead into anything, but what did you expect him to do that he didn' do?

    Most likely not as the people who actually listen to them will believe they never did it.

    He pushed through what clearly to him was his most important piece of legislation (health care reform) and lost most of his political capital there. Then his economic policies didn't act as a quick fix like everyone thought they would, and it became harder and harder for him to push anything. I don't think you can expect him to "come in like an animal," when he couldn't even raise the debt ceiling and almost oversaw the closing of the government. I think you underestimate the power of congress, and the desire by the republicans to stonewall everything he does.

    There are plenty of people who support the war in Afghanistan, myself included, so while the popular sentiment is moving towards a withdrawal, there aren't any major candidates who have supported even speeding up our current withdrawal schedule.

    On a personal note, I won't be voting for him, but recognize him as better then whoever the republicans will put up. As mentioned, I will be writing in Zoidberg, and voting on all of my local initiatives.

    Speaking of local elections, everyone in my town who is running for a local office is a democrat, but when the big elections come along, everybody votes republican. Weirdness.

    With Cain's poorly though our tax plan and Mexican bug zapper this is looking like the final nail in the coffin for him. Although the gestures he used were not sexual just made the women feel "uncomfortable", this apparently can pass as sexual harassment. Perry is not a great public speaker-high or not. I would argue that he was better stoned than his usual train wreck. Romney is going to have trouble because he is Romney and by default everyones second choice I might be time for the Republicans to eat their vegetables and vote for him. I'm just going to keep supporting Huntsman and see if he can get to 5%.
