I voted for Obama in 2008, I tend to lean towards liberal views, I understand the economy is not doing well, I am lucky I haven't been affected but I have actually done better for myself in the last 2 years than I have ever done in my life, I don't thank the Obama administration for it, just so we're clear on that. However the problem with politics as I see it is how major corporations who usually (not all) tend to support Republicans due to lower taxes which a Republican standpoint are the same companies who ship jobs overseas in order to make more profit. So while I believe you all Republican voting citizens make good points in some areas I fail to see how it is beneficial for us non-millionaires and by the way most of us will never be millionaires in case that needs to be clarified to vote for a party whose only interest are corporations. Every Republican swears an oath not to ever raise taxes, that's absurd. Not because I want to give my money away but because things need to be paid for, only recently we have begun to reduce tax revenue.
Yes Obama is a politician and lies like every one of his predecessors, but the party he represents is more in tune with my beliefs. I don't need a party that sides with specific religions or promotes hated of minorities. I feel the Republican party of today has been taken over by either filthy rich corporations who only care about making a profit or old men who have issues against minorities, homosexuals and everyone who isn't Christian.
I think Obama is going to be in big trouble this coming election and may lose but partially due to the recent Supreme Court ruling that basically states corporations like people should have free speech, and in this case free speech == money. I don't understand how anyone can favor that. We're heading towards dark times if we continue to let corporations dictate the way our government is ran.
By the way Obama is as much as a non American as Mitt Romney is a polygamist Mormon. None are true but hey since Obama's father wasn't born here and Mitt's Grandpa was a polygamist, why not make a case for that??
I also have a problem with an educated man such as Mitt that believes the crazy stuff you read in the Book of Mormon. To me all religion is absurd but the Mormons..wow I guess they win the price for the newest lunatics in town. My .02
