Rocky: “Didn’t even mention that he is not eligible to hold office. Or that he has increased the national debt exponentially. Or that he shoved Obamacare down our throats.”

President Obama doesn't deserve all the blame for points 2 and 3. Don't forget he was aided by Congress, to include some Republicans. We seem to focus on the presidency for some reason, but Congress controls both spending and the laws.

I don't like what the administration is doing but laws give a president quite a bit of leeway. Who wrote those laws? Congress and the special interests that control Congress.

I emphasize this in the hope that people take out their frustrations on ALL of the people who were complicit in creating the current mess. Don't forget that things like the repeal of DADT were passed by Democrats AND Republicans.

Many (most?) senators and representatives deserve to be booted, and if I had my way, I'd take their pensions, too!
