The Blue Board

I was 17 during the last election. But I have been pretty happy with the last four years.

Define behind? It is pretty close unless you are going by that Bloomberg poll that targeted more black people

All Obama is gonna do is attack Romney and his money...yada yada yada. What else can he really attack? The country is in a mess

I'm not trying to argue that at all. I just hope he gave all of you that "change" that he promised you

I give him an A.

-Romney's record. Romney has a defined history of flip-flopping to fit whatever audience he's currently pandering to. How do we, as the American people, know that he'll do anything he promises to do?

-Romney's healthcare plan. It conveniently doesn't exist, because it's already been implemented. Romney has no alternative plan to implement if he succeeds in overturning the ACA.

-Romney's tax plan. Romney's tax plans are even more regressive than George W. Bush's - all they would do is further increase wealth disparity and the class divide that already plagues the U.S.

-Romney's foreign policy. 3/4 of Romney's foreign policy advisors are holdovers from George W. Bush's team. We can pretty much all agree that Bush's foreign policy misadventures were spectacular failures that only resulted in wild overspending and far too many dead American soldiers. The last thing we want is a repeat of 2000-08 in that department, unless we actually want 4,000 more dead Americans.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Yes, Bin Laden is dead. Obama gave the order authorizing the mission that killed him after Bush couldn't do it for his entire tenure in office.

God knows I'm no fan of Bush, but

No need for me to look at it. I'm taking another govt/politics class right now and it is very close. Hell my professor isna Dem and he even admits it will be very close.

Carter gets a scholarship?

Brought us out of recession...yea okay.

I dont believe any of them...especially Obama

I'm confused what I'm supposed to be SO disappointed in. Let's see: ending both wars, essentially endorsing same-sex marriage and helping to repeal DADT, health-care reform that is there (personally don't think it was good enough,but in the sense it didn't do more), immigration moves (both recent deportation policy,border policy,and DREAM act), foreign policy etc. etc.

The real mixed bag is the economy, but given this was the deepest recession since the 1930s and he had to work against arguably the most partisan congresses in each half of his first term and a more integrated and global exposure to foreign economic problems. Historically speaking it should have and probably will take YEARS to recover from a deep housing crisis of systemic proportion. We've had the best PRIVATE sector job growth outt of a recession of any president since Reagan. If public sector unemployment just flattened post-stimulus the unemployment rate would probably be between 6-7% at the moment.

This has ZERO to do with some systemic policy change to socialism or a command economy or any of that bullish.

Throw-in the fact that I have to choose between Romney and Obama appointees, I'll lean with the latter.

To be honest though, I won't stress is Romney wins. Hate to break it to conservatives in here, but Romney is WAY more likely to rule in the center, if not a perceived center-left than center-right or right.

Probably won't be much different. See the video for example.

I just see it more probably( but not likely) that Romney rules right than Obama, so that's about the sum of it.
