rodeomom13 - 2014-09-30 8:13 PM The only people that are better off are those who are rich and knee deep in the stock market, or those on welfare. The middle class who work their asses off to scrimp and save and live paycheck to paycheck are the ones who are hurting. Fuel prices, food prices, and of course everybody's favorite...... Higher taxes to pay for those who are standing in line at walmart with their ebt cards talking on their Obama iphone.



I voted FOS in the poll. He is a narcissist. Of course he thinks America is better off after he took control. All he sees are puppy dogs and kittens. And his followers are still fall down drunk on the koolade.
 I am none of those things, just some one who has worked really hard to improve my life.  I don't give credit or blame to the government.  I have a strong work ethic and have made some smart moves.  I will never be rich with my job, but I can improve my situation little by little with a positive attitude and some hard work.  I refuse to buy into the doom and gloom that so many people do.  Where has the can-do spirit gone in this country?  It makes me sad to see so much negativity and reluctance for ownership of owe's own life and outcomes.

Well you are the minority. Do you think the rest of us haven't worked our asses off? Do you think the rest of us who are struggling because of higher fuel, food, taxes, higher healthcare premiums, working our asses off to pay for the poor and the influx of illegals into this country don't have good work ethics? This president and his policies along with our democratic senate who's leader won't even look at legislation if it is proposed by a republican are destroying the middle class. I thought Liberals are for the little guy, I thought that they felt sorry for those who are struggling and would help them. Well the majority of the middle class is struggling and what do we get? We get to fund the deadbeats. 

I'll tell you where the can do spirit went. It disappeared when Obama took over. He, along with Holder and the liberal media are constantly dividing groups. The liberal big mouths are emboldened, anytime someone prays in public, wears an American flag, shows their patriotism, they are berated because it might offend someone. People are afraid of speaking up, they are afraid to express their beliefs and celebrate them because of the backlash. You can't show your love of God and country without being labeled a bigot, zealot, crazy right wing loon.  Look at the Tea Party. They believe in less government, more power to the people, lower taxes and free will and they get bashed constantly and labeled "extremist". All while blacks, hispanics, and athiests get everything they want without a fight. It's wrong. How many times has the media reported a white kid getting shot by a black cop? But by golly if a white cop kills a black kid there are riots and representatives from the White House go to the funeral. Has Obama said a word about the OK beheading? Has he sent Holder to OK to investigate? Is anyone from the WH going to that poor woman's funeral? Obama has done nothing but divide this country. 

Just keep drinking the kool aid.

I think alot of americans are independent and can handle anything thrown at them, that is why our country is so amazing. I have nothing nice to say of Obama, other than.....I will make the best I can of the situation that was given to us, no matter who is president.

My husband and I were talking about the divide in this country and the problem is white people don't have an association to stand up for their rights. Too many are busy trying to prove that they aren't racists and try to help everyone else except themselves. Do you really think the NAACP cares about anyone except themselves? LOL

I voted not better off. The reasons have already been mentioned in several other posts. While I admire the positive attitude of some posting on here, I think they have their heads in the sand. We continue to do nothing and the changes taking place are hurting us like the frog in a pot of slow boiling water.

It might even be illegal to say anything against him, he has snuck in so many rules/laws since he's been in office it's hard to tell. Must be a tough time to be in the military, thanks for your service.

The middle class who work their asses off to scrimp and save and live paycheck to paycheck are the ones who are hurting. Fuel prices, food prices, and of course everybody's favorite...... Higher taxes to pay for those who are standing in line at walmart with their ebt cards talking on their Obama iphone.



I voted FOS in the poll. He is a narcissist. Of course he thinks America is better off after he took control. All he sees are puppy dogs and kittens. And his followers are still fall down drunk on the koolade.


How so??????no they arent. trust me.AND the stocks Plummeted and might have came up a fraction but still lost asses in them..and alot of wealthy worked their asses off to get there and has lost alot as well..



welfare I can agree on..
 Depends on what stocks you have I guess. My extremely Liberal brother can't stop bragging on how good he has it.  Drives me crazy. Obama is the best.....
He won't be smiling when the federal reserve stops propping it up.

That's what I keep saying....  It's all phony. When it ends it will hurt. Bad.

I just love how Libs only focus on the "positive". Even if that positive is a false positive. They can't see that. When you ask a Liberal how it's so great they tell you half truths and spin the facts. Or the old stand by......  Well Bush did it. That one drives me the most insane. Because Bush did it, does it make it ok? That's the weakest argument yet.

 I am none of those things, just some one who has worked really hard to improve my life.  I don't give credit or blame to the government.  I have a strong work ethic and have made some smart moves.  I will never be rich with my job, but I can improve my situation little by little with a positive attitude and some hard work.  I refuse to buy into the doom and gloom that so many people do.  Where has the can-do spirit gone in this country?  It makes me sad to see so much negativity and reluctance for ownership of owe's own life and outcomes.
I admire your spirit.  I too have worked really hard to improve not only my life, but my family's life as well.  In fact I have worked 40 plus years and have a very strong work ethic.  I find myself nearing retirement and it is not looking as rosie as I thought it would.  We have saved some for our golden years - but with the cost of living far exceeding anything we have ever seen in our life time I worry.  I do blame the government for some of this.  It is their decisions on key issues that drive the enonomy - not the other way around.  I remember when there was a stong middle class.  Now that term is thrown around a lot - but I will tell you the middle class is erroding at a fast rate and that in part lies at the feet of the government.  There is no true middle class - there are now working poor and low end high income with not much in the middle.  And for years it was that nice chunk in the middle that kept things going for this country. Since we have been responsible for supporting all these politically correct - feel good - keep em lazy handouts our backs are spirits are broken. The can do spirit is going out the window right behind common sense which left the building long ago. 
BTW - I voted our country has gone to hell - and it hurt to do that - but it's they way I feel.

The only way I can explain Obama's rise to power is that he had powerful forces behind him that are not of this world. Look at his mentors, such as "Uncle Frank", Frank Marshall Davis, who Obama identified as one of his role models. Davis was a leader of a Marxist political party in Chicago. Both of Obama's parents harbored an intense hatred of America and her "Imperial Neo-Colonialism". Obama, in his own words, sought out Marxists and radicals when he was in college, and he was fascinated with Marxism. His methods and his agenda are supporting evidence that he espouses Marxism. His resume' is conspicuously lacking in any meaningful accomplishments. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment was his winning a Nobel Prize, but that wasn't due to any works, rather, it was due to his expressed agenda, and nothing more. That fact alone is chilling. Another of his mentors, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, harbors an intense hatred for America, and has used the pulpit to fan the flames of racism and antisemetism. Prior to 2008, I had never heard of a "community organizer". Obama himself is an admirer of a fellow "community organizer", Saul Alinski, and has actually employed many of Alinski's tactics throughout his reign in creating chaos. I find it chilling that Alinski, in his first book, dedicated his writing to the "first community organizer" - LUCIFER.
