I am so frustrated with people and their expectations that our country can be fixed in 4 years. We did not get to this place in 4, 10 or 20 years. We have supported congresses that have eroded banking/credit regulations since Reagan was in office, we are reaping the rewards of our complicity.  The debt is as high parttially because the bush administration kept the Iraq/Afghan wars costs separate from the budget, so the people did not see the actual cost of those wars.
I am not happy with all that Obama has done, and I do believe he could take a stronger stance on something’s, but really he is not doing that bad of a job considering the opposition, the ridiculous political prophesizing that is going on both sides, and the positively obnoxious pundits from both sides feeding the people 10 second sound bites and not providing any real information.  As far as the Republican party wanting to get a black man out of office, Boehner and others have consistently said their only goal is to get rid of Obama, yes that can be interpreted to mean that they don't want a black man in the presidential seat, but that is a long shot interpretation.  Do not know who the racism remark was directed after my post, sorry I did not finish my thought before posting. And no I didn't want bush out after 1 term, I didn't want that him in office at all. You think that makes me racist/sexist against male, white texans? I truly don't care what color/sex/religion/sexual orientation (faithful would be nice) the president is, as long as she/he does the best she/he can for the country, ethically and morally.  I prefer to make up my own mind, don't lie to me or manipulate the facts so they don't bare any resemblance to the truth and treat the public as if we not only can but DO think for ourselves.
