I am 90 years old and have seen many changes in this blessed country. I cannot believe what is happening now, especially in the government. I hope the majority of people see what I think I am seeing.
I see President Barack Obama trying (and he has been successful) in changing the country. He does not respect the Constitution, nor the truth, the rule of law nor the views of people of knowledge. There is no doubt in my mind that he is out to destroy America; then he sees himself as ruler of the national government.
There seems to be no doubt that he and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder dare not release the material the investigators need in the Fast and Furious arms scandal because they know what the outcome would be.
Obama's administration has put thousands of rules in place. And his not accepting the Canadian oil pipeline deal has cost the country jobs and oil.
The Democrats did a disgraceful job of vetting him. I don't believe he has released all the details of his background and refuses to do so.
Congress goes along with his radical plans.
Voters need to clean house with the un-Americans in Congress come November.

No doubt Obama is trying to destroy the Amerika you loved of George W. Bush.
But that is a good thing.

I love Obama and one of the things I really like about him is that he is bringing fairness and income inequality to the forefront like no other President. That the rich live by one set of rules, the rest of us by another. But then the rules were written by rich white men for other rich white men. And class warfare has been going on for a long time, guess what...the rich have won. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. Even college is becoming a rich man's game. Corporate profits are at an all-time high and wages are at an all-time low.
The stimulas saved many jobs and kept us out of a depression. Obama has created more jobs already than Bush did in 8 years. He ended the war. He saved General Motors. He killed Osama Bin Laden and many other of Al Qaeda's leaders. Government spending has stayed flat for 3 years. He has lowered taxes multiple times. He has invested in education and green technologies and expended small business loans. And it is about time that Americans see something done about expanding access to health care. He has been a supreme leader in foreign affairs. He has accomplished much in 3 1/2 years! Kudos to Obama!

If he is such a great savior of GM, why is their stock down to $19 and would have to rise to $53 for a stockholder to even break even?
If he really did kill bin laden, why were we never allowed to see the body? When Bush got Hussein, the whole world got to see him.
What taxes, exactly has he lowered multiple times? How about some documentation?
You mean green technologies like Solyndra that cost the taxpayers $500 million bucks when it went belly up?
Unemployement is still 8.3%; more people go on SSI Disability each month than are hired at jobs.
45 million Americans are on foodstamps under the 'leadership' of the Food Stamp President.
How about some documentation of Obama have created more jobs already than Bush did in 8 years. That's not even accurate. Don't ask me to prove you're wrong. You made the statement; the burden is yours to prove it.

When Bush became president, unemployment was at 4.2%
When he left office, it was 8.3%
Obama in at 8.3%
It's currently at 8.3%
So Obama is a push right now, but Bush is well into the negative job growth over his term.

The secrecy with bin Laden ranks right up there with the secrecy surrounding oBAMa's records at Columbia. Smoke and mirrors.

Albert,
You are correct in that Obama has changed this country, and not for the better in my opinion. This is the first President in my adult life that attempts to pit one American against the other on a number of issues from finances to religious beliefs for his own political expediency.
My only solace is that the rate of spending this administration is on (and previous administrations), I look for major financial upheaval in 5-10 years unless the Federal government has an epiphany in the next year or two.
From the financial collapse, I hope we can rise from the ashes a more sensible and responsible nation – I hope.

But then read what our commentator Mr. Murch opined: "The Democrats did a disgraceful job of vetting him (Obama). I don't believe he has released all the details of his background and refuses to do so."
The same certainly applies to the Republican Party and your nominal candidate Mitt Romney - and Mitt's 'Income Tax Return Secrecy' has that written all over it. Murch ethically can't complain about one and let the other slide.

Being elected president under false pretenses is. He was born in Hawaii; went to grade school in Indonesia; since Indonesia was at war at that time, he could not have gone to school there without having been a citizen of Indonesia. How or when was he reinstated as a U.S. citizen, which he would have had to renounce in order to become a citizen of Indonesia? No one offers an explanation of a Social Security number being assigned to him in the State of Connecticut. His records of having attended Columbia University are as clouded as Harry Reid's ability to recognize the truth when it bites him in the arse. Over 400 interviewed students who attended Columbia while he was supposedly there, never heard of him or knew who he was. Was he there under another name? Murch makes a good point; he wasn't thoroughly vetted.
