Choosing from the Available Republican Field

I am going to take a stance against you. The only reason Obama was not able to get things done the way he needed to, is because the Republicans in congress stood in his way. I refuse to accept another Republican president until the part as a whole stops acting selfish and entitled. The rich are not the only people that live in this country.

Since even Gumby would be a better president than Obama, we would be better off with anyone who chooses to run against him... of any party.

Truthfully I don't trust ANY of the candidates to hold their word after election....why should I, history says that for the most part they won't....especially if it is for the actual good of the nation. On the other hand, I really would like to see Obama voted out. I can't see what he has done, at least not in our area of the nation, to improve the state of the economy, the job market, or much else. Gas prices are rising daily, work is getting harder and harder to find, more people are homeless or living in poverty, and yet he forces a mandate that we are REQUIRED to now buy health insurance. While I am sure that most people would love to have it, many are doing good just to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads, so how exactly are they supposed to afford yet another bill or a fine for not having insurance? And don't tell me to cut off the cable, as many don't even have that! America needs a savior, which is not likely to show up, because when is the last time that a politician did not do and say whatever they thought would get them elected, and then follow their own personal agenda, irregardless of what it did to the nation, once elected? Face it, America is in BIG trouble!

When is this person with a "new and fresh concept going" to appear? All we've heard from the GOP wannabes is a bunch of the same old failed trickle-down economics and right-wing extremist social policies! If their current field is the best they can do the Republicans might as well get out of politics and start a new snake-oil business. Here's an interesting column written by a conservative who supported Ronald Reagan but now supports Barack Obama: http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/01/15/andrew-sullivan-how-obama-s-long-game-will-outsmart-his-critics.html?obref=obinsite I happen to agree with Andrew Sullivan. I haven't been totally thrilled with everything President Obama has done but I believe he's done his best and I don't blame him for most of what has gone wrong. I shudder to think what shape we'd be in by now if he hadn't taken most of the actions he took! Unemployment is still too high but it's been steadily dropping for months now and we went from LOSING over 700,000 jobs each month to consistently adding jobs in the PRIVATE sector since public sector jobs have been lost. The federal government is "smaller" than it's been in years and federal taxes are the lowest they've been since the fifties. An AMERICAN car company is once again the top automaker in the world. It could be better but it sure could also be worse...MUCH worse. Annie
