Looking at GBAtemp, I never would've guessed Obama's approval ratings plummeted. My vote is a secret, as I like to not start arguments over nothing. :ninja:

You have to factor in the average age here and then it makes more sense. People even considering voting for Obama again is a joke. I'm not sure if he even has one accomplishment (running up trillions in debt doesn't count) besides "taking out osama", but that's hardly noteworthy. The military deserves credit there. Not the worst president, but he comes pretty damn close. I could go on and on about his failures. The blaming Bush thing should have only lasted the first two years at max. He could get another term and still be blaming bush on his eighth year, sh*t gets real old.

But if he wins again, won't be too surprised. All he has to do is sing, do a wink-wink, and do that white teeth sparkle, and he'll have the late teen early twenty vote again. All you have to do is take one economics class (with a professor teaching it that isn't on weed) and it'll be clear to vote conservative this time.

Herman Cain was my man, (his speeches were porn to me) but his dick may have gotten in trouble. So going with Romney I guess.

Blahkamehameha, I'm not sure you can even credit Obama for taking out Osama either depending on who you believe besides just what the mainstream media reported.
 
Yeah. Obamas gonna get extra votes cuz he was president when Osama bin Laden was killed. And cuz the media said that he was the one who organized it. In reality, spies found were he was hiding, then Obama said "ok. So let's send in the SEALs and get him." the seals did all the tactical work and actually aimed and pulled the trigger.

Yeah, because tax cuts are the key to lowering a deficit.

Yes, because the media has everyone believing Obama charged that compound himself, John Matrix style.

in response to smile: Indeed. You do know small businesses make up the backbone of America's economy right? Obama's admininstration (and senate) have smothered small business growth, and gave them a very uncertain future with the ominous obamacare.

And don't tell me you're going to argue that Obama has tried to lower the deficit.
 
I am confused as to why people are concerned over the deficit as If It was something that could be fixed. Where we are now there is no way that the deficit could be paid, we would even have trouble paying off just the interest on It and that alone would take much effort. The economy is in default, we are bankrupt and have been. The only thing that is still holding the system together is the reserve status of our money and we just keep printing It. This will work for awhile because It has been done in the past with other reserve country currency's but the problem is eventually super inflation will take over and then It's gameover.
 
The deficit was a beast after bush left, but it wasn't impossible to deal with. Obama went ahead and supersized it to the max, so at this point it's uncontrollable. Inflation has already occurred quite noticeably in the last few months (been to grocery stores).

The current system is very unstable to say the least. Luckily China hasn't been pulling our chains yet, but there's no guarantee they won't in the future since they own so much of our debt.

Look up super inflation in your browser, those goods price increases at the store, (regular inflation) are a whole different pony.
 
Fed has a large piece of the blame pie like Obama does. Bernanke flat out lied about not printing more money which helped lead to the inflation.

I agree, the Fed is and was the problem all along since they set up shop in 1913. I am not blaming Obama he is just a puppet that reads the teleprompters and smiles and does what he is told.
 
Ok sumthing you guys have to see:
Step 1: go to YouTube
Step 2: type in Earl Pitts recession is over
Step 3: click on the video
Step 4: laugh and like

Obama appointed Bernanke, so yes he deserves a lot of the blame. But we better lay off this, we're getting pretty off topic. I could ramble about inflation and the fed for hours ;)

No, but neither will Rick Sanctorum, lowering corporations tax rates to 0 will solve nothing. Neither will Mitt Romney, his tax plan will actually add to the deficit.

I'm not sure if you understand things correctly. Government spending needs to be reduced, not have more income to fuel it. Tax cuts will help economy big time as long as nonsense government spending is cut.

Tax less, spend less benefits everyone.

The topic is pointless without knowing the truth first to make a more informed decision about the election. Talking about these things are worthy to be mentioned here. Obama may have appointed Bernanke but was It really Obama that made that call?
 
Obama is supposed to be a leader. He should share blame for people he appoints and for his administration. Don't forget his wondrous stimulus packages and what a great success they were...(joke obv.)

No, if corporations are taxed at 0, it won't matter, we will lose more money than it will bring in. Plus I don't think you understand that most government spending is no nonsense. Do you consider Medicare nonsense? What about the military? How about medicaid? Social security?
