The *ahem* debate can be summed up in 4 one liners.
Repeal Obamacare
Cut taxes on the rich
Cut government spending
Keep a special eye on them there scary Muslims and sneaky Mexicans.
Not a mumbling word about jobs, education, or the middle class.
Not a mumbling word about access to health care or bringing our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Not a mumbling word about the mortgage meltdown or the environment.
Not a mumbling word about reproductive freedom, civil rights and human rights.
Not a mumbling word about restoring honesty, integrity and justice to the Department of Justice.
Nope. All fear and bigotry all the time. UNfair and UNbalanced. That's the republican way.
RedEyes translation;
Only the rich and Congress should have access to quality affordable health care. The rest of y'all are tough out of luck.
The rich get richer while the rest get the shaft.
Cut government spending on the American people but increase government spending for all war all the time.
Send them there Mexicans back to Mexico (except the one who work for us).
Terrorize the American people with anti Muslim fear mongering.
What if Reverend Al Sharpton said "Why buy a gun?" then points at picture of George W. Bush?
Coming mere days after the release of photos of a recovering Gabrielle Giffords, its a stark reminder that the conservatives who control so many media platforms in this country are hell bent on demonizing Obama, Democrats (just ask Janice Hahn) and liberals before the next election. And no, there is no line they won't cross, even the one that suggests you need to buy a gun to "prepare for tough times" while displaying pictures of our nation's president.
What if President Obama hadn't wasted opportunities?
Obama has proven to be a conservative president, not a progressive, a liberal or a democrat. For the life of me, I don't understand why Republicans dislike him. He has continued every policy that Bush enacted, he's just more articulate, but nothing has changed. What does it take for him to understand?

Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation's history.
Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane.
27 times faster, it would be doing 7,555 MPH!

THE PRESIDENCY
SOME WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT.
HOWEVER, ALL OF IT IS TRUE.
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 24 months -- so you'll have one year and ten months to come up with an answer.
Every statement in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.
Bush was the pResident on 911.
I am an independent. I would vote for H.Cain. It has nothing to do with him being half/half. I just do not like his policies or what he stands for! When he or his wife invited a rapper (Common) to the White House that was it for me. Common has a song that glorifies a cop killing fugitive, former Black Panther Assata Shakur.
@Mack Lyons,
FedUp says out loud what they say behind closed doors. So the next time you see/hear a republican candidate/public official talking about cutting spending, illegal immigration, terrorism, etc. just think about FedUp.
FedUp is the reason we must get off our Donkeys and VOTE. I pray there are more of us than there are of them voting in November because if not this country is in deep doo doo.
I may vote for a few Democrats and Republicans. I vote for the best canidate. I may not vote for Cain. I'm just SICK of liberals!!!!!!!!!!!!
President Obama.
The day he came in office he inherited a global financial meltdown. He had no choice but to focus on preventing catastrophic world-wide depression and an estimated 25% unemployment rate in America. He unpopularly bailed out two American auto companies, and saved a million private sector jobs. His stimulus program, gutted by the Republican tactic of filibuster and super-majority never used in this way in the history of the U.S., saved untold numbers of jobs at the State public employee level - teachers, police, firemen - all the people the Republicans have no problem seeing on the unemployment/food stamp line.
Clinton couldn't. Bush couldn't. President Obama did. Osama bin Laden is dead. President Obama has given us a new paradigm. In support of Democratic reforms and revolution, we don't have to militarily invade other countries, we can do it with precise use of our technological superiority, and do for almost nothing what Bush got us into for trillions of dollars.
I won't go into all the progressive liberal Democratic initiatives moved forward by this president, that just rankles the people who want to go back to survival-of-the-richest white- supremacist America of the past.
To blame Barack Obama for everything is just to rely on the absolute gullibility and stupidity of the Republican voter base.
I look forward to a lame-duck Obama presidency, when he can stop coddling and start kicking!
