Who else thinks obama is destroying our country ??

[samrhett2]

Sensitive subject matter, but you asked.  Well, yes, based on my political philosophy I believe that anyone who has his political leanings would ruin the country if given the chance.  What is never really clear to me is whether or not they are doing it intentionally or whether they just truly believe that their way is really going to be better for everyone.

My basic philosophy is very simple.  Some people work hard and some people are lazy.  If you take from those who work and give it to those who are lazy there is no incentive for the lazy people to change.  Pretty soon the hard workers become discouraged and see no point in working hard so they become lazy.  Pretty soon there is no one left to do the work so there will be poverty for everyone.

Now that is simplistic, but I believe it is a basic truth.  Mr. Obama wants us all to have the same whether we work for it or not.

I agree that people fall on hard time sometimes through no fault of their own and that we always should take care of those people and the sick, elderly, handicaped, the weakest of our society.  But I believe that people are basically good and that if you allow hard workers to keep more of what they earn they will provide voluntarily through charitable contributions and good will with very little need for the government to be involved.

Everything that has government involvement never works very efficient.  Less government intrusion and involvement creates creative thinking and hard work.  Spreading it around, as Obama thinks, creates  a country of weak, lazy people with no hope for a better future.

 He was elected because he is the best for the job. First of all our country was in debt before Obama was elected into office and will be in debt long after he is out of office.This debt didnt just occur overnight it's been going on for years. I dont think it would have mattered who won the election we would still be facing the same problems and I believe he is doing the best considering he's been dealt a bad hand to start with.Read your history before you blame Obama !!

Get it straight, Obama is not destroying the country it's the people that don't support that are. People who refuse to go and spend to bring the economy back.

Act as if you don't know the Bushes destroyed this country and Obama is in the unique spot to try and clean up the mess. This is so typical people like him always supposed to come behind and clean up.

if obama didnt destroy the country then who did, dont blame bush he didnt put has in a trillion dollar debt, he sent our troops over which obama said he would bring back but didnt, obama said he would go after the rich and now focusing on the low or middle class, if obama wanted to give money why not to the people instead of co. that keep it for themself, if obama was white i dont think he would of got elected its sad that our country has to voted for people for their color or sex, many years ago i drove for a car service, i was taking a lady to vote, she was voting for a lady for council women, she didnt even now her name, she told she going to vote for the women. i dont vote in my eyes all politions, lawyers judges are the real criminals

Serious? Do you live under a rock and been clueless for the last 10 years? Our country has been getting further in debt since the Clinton era. Obama was dealt the worst hand ever and it's gonna take some time to see improvements. Congress isn't doing him any favors with no one agreeing on anything and being stubborn to their perspective political parties. Things are not going to be fixed over night people. There wasn't a single person nominated who was a better choice then Obama at the time he was elected regardless of his race.

seriously, this whole mess can't be blamed on just one.  I am not a fan of Obama but really, this mess took years of bad judgment, from the voters on up.

[Heather721]

Don't even get me started on Obama... I bet everyone who voted for him is very pleased with themselves!!

[brebrelewis28]

I agree with you all the way on that note.

First of all, I'd like to say is, I'm so glad that there soooo many Smart People in the FC Member forum? You know who you are depending on your response to this issue.I thought for a while that Americans are getting dumber & dumber to just eat up the crap that comes out of the news. Today, news could be the truth or just a pack of lies twisted around to get ratings. The greater the hype & lies the greater the ratings! I think President Obama, is doing the best he can with what he's got & it's not much from what I see. At every turn the republicans shoot down the changes he wanted to do for us the people. Can you believe that when Bill Clintin was President we actually were out of the RED & had a decent BUDGET here in American? Can you believe it?!!!! Then Bush takes over & PISSES IT ALL AWAY! Sends our troops into a war that wasn't ours to begin with; costing trillions of dollars & thousands of American deaths for what, oil that today we still don't control. So, ask X president Bush did we win, if so what did we win? All I'm saying is not to Judge the man, unless you've put yourself into his shoes. How would you feel if you wanted to do some positive changes for the people but the republicans keep on shooting it down? I admire President Obama for being brave enough to go into the lions den & take up the crap that Bush's left behind! By the way, your medicare, medicaid, & Social Security will be take away from you if you turn coat & vote for the republicans! I'm an independent & I think the republicans are too strict on issues & the Democrats are too soft on issues but I'll always vote democrat because to me it's the lesser evil of the two. So, who do you think you are, Lady to dump on your President like that? Mature people even though they don't like or didn't chose the President, at least they treat him with respect. Next time you want to put somebody down make sure you get the real story & not the crap that comes from entertainment tonight or Rush Limbard! So, if you're not voting for Obama next year, who're you voting for?......  ::)JEB BUSH? :bootyshake:
