President Barack Obama, transformed from inspiring hope-and-change candidate into struggling stay-the-course incumbent, promised Americans wary of giving him another term that "our problems can be solved" if only they will grant him four more years.
"Know this, America: Our problems can be solved," he told thousands of delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. "Our challenges can be met. The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place. And I'm asking you to choose that future."
His appeal aimed to build on a rousing speech from Michelle Obama and former president Bill Clinton. The first lady assured disenchanted voters who backed her husband in 2008 but are wary or wavering today that four years of political knife fights and hard compromises had not stripped her husband of his moral core. And Clinton cast the current president as the heir to the policies that charged the economy of the 1990s and yielded government surpluses.
"I won't pretend the path I'm offering is quick or easy. I never have," Obama told the cheering crowd in the Time Warner Cable Arena and a television audience expected to number in the tens of millions. "You didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth. And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over a decade."

“The real problem with the speech was that obama was posing as an American President in the great American tradition, trying to solve American problems (especially the lack of jobs and the decline of the middle class) for Americans.”
I said this when he edited some of the history of previous administrations to throw himself into the “American story”; he (and many of his followers) were simply along for the free ride on the backs of real Americans, and have contributed nothing to this country since its inception. His wife said as much with her “proud of this country” comment; they (and many of the followers) are simply spectators to the American experience, failing to appreciate how it has provided a roof over their heads and food for their stomachs for several generations without them lifting a finger.
And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades. It'll require common effort, shared responsibility, and the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one.
Do the American People deserve four years of "experimentation?" Are we lab rats for Obama?
Our problems will be solved when you and your fellow sewer rats are OUT OF POWER... you kenyan commie pos!

I have made my decision. I have set my course. I am an Oathkeeper. I shall be voting, to return our country to its rightful path, separate from Communist thinking, separate from appeasement of the global mindset, separate and sovereign.
Yeah, but it’s like he’s pretending to be two different people. I seriously think he’s nuts and should be removed from office on medical/mental grounds.
