I oppose Obama for the same reason that I opposed Carter, Mondale, Dukasis, Clinton, Gore, and Kerry. With the exception of Clinton's second term (in which he was effectively a moderate Republican, so he could play ball with the Republican Congress), all of them have promoted the same tired economic policies that have failed everywhere that didn't have an independent source of income to prop it up.

Amen. i protested Clinton in person. I haven't had the opportunity to protest Obama ... I've been too busy looking for work or helping others keep their heads above water during his economic non-recovery.

The truth is I had tuned out of the process, policy debates and politics; I not heard Obama speak until sometimes in 2010. My first impression of him was a disembodied voice full of scolding condescension coming live through my radio.

And that was the start. Then I looked at the state of my country, the policies under pursuit and was horrified.

As Romney echoed in his acceptance speech, I wanted Obama to succeed in a way that means American would succeed. His policies failed and he badgers us besides. I'd rather have someone earnest but simply out of their depth, like Carter, than someone grossly incompetent and unbothered by it all like Obama.

I wish the Democrats had given us Hillary. And I'm not sorry McCain lost. His brand of nuttiness would've destroyed the Republican brand for generations. With Romney/Ryan we have a chance to correct that and get American back on track.

It's funny Democrats slavishly praise Clinton and the Clinton era but he was successful because he knew how to pivot, how to move an agenda forward, how to give-and-take. Romney knows how to do that; Obama does not. And, disturbingly, Obama's not even far left enough for them! They have more in common with the Green Party candidate. If Obama is a moderate voice in his party, this nation is in severe trouble.
