If you have to pick between Obama and Romney and you think Romney would be terrible we either need to check what you think that word means or find a name for Obama as President that is 10 times worse than horrible.
This is an interesting view. I'm not Obama's biggest fan, but I'll definitely vote for him over Romney. Since Obama took office employment has gotten better, the stock market has gone up, actually, the entire economy is doing better than the day he took office.
We finally have a clear(ish) timetable for leaving Afghanistan, Bin Laden is dead, we have moved toward health care reform, dadt is gone, doma is on it's last legs, the dream act policies are imminent, and the fed is finally getting serious about monetary policy.
Things are looking up.
Things that Bad Luck admits that Obama wants to hide...
DADT is gone. He only mentions this in closed door rallys.
DOMA is on its last legs. This is something he almost denies. He gutted it as much as he could through executive fiat, but he istn too proud of it.
Dream Act. Another executive Fiat. He wants to be able to talk about the few great stories this helps, but doesnt want to paint it as a backdoor amnesty.
How is Employment doing better. He took office at the bottom of a crash. Of course some things are going to get better.
No President since the Great Depression has kept unemployment above 8% for so long. He claimed his stimulus would fix it. Now he says his new stimulus will fix it.
Why do you believe him? His plan cannot work. The numbers do not add up.
