Look at that, not a single grey hair on that head.
I'm sure it's much easier to keep promises when congress actually works with you.

Well, Obama had both a dem house & senate for years. What happened?

You know what though? Folks like you probably feel like government works best when it does nothing at all.
So what do you care what Obama has or hasn't done?

Are you serious? Why do I care?
Because Obama and his policies are bad and destructive to America.
You listed all sorts of things in your last post that Obama and his dem allies was involved in and yet, under his reign, everything has gotton worse with a ballooning deficit.

How could you say 'everything' is worse?
Unemployment was at 8.3% in February 2009, it peaked at 10% before gradually dropping back to 8.3% this month. If anything, we're back where he started.
How about Wall Street? The so called 'barometer of the economy'? In March 2009, it was at 6626.94, today it closed at 13096.17, more than twice what it was.
How about Americans without health insurance? We had upwards of 50 million people without any form of health insurance in 2009, we pass Obamacare in 2010 and today we have 30 million without insurance, we've still got a long way to go.
You know what you should be upset about? The destruction of the middle and lower classes
Wages have gone down for everyone making less than $100,000/year
With that in mind, who do you want for the next four years; the guy who promises to lower tax rates for everyone making more than $250,000 a year while raising them for everyone who makes less...or the other guy?

Come on, you should know better. You do realize that Obama and the dems changed the way they calculate unemployment right? To artificially reduce the unemployment rate, they decided not to count the people who have never found work. I forget what the cutoff period is but the real unemployment rate is around 20%. People are suffering out there and Obama is not helping. He is actually making things worse.
Look, the stock market is no barometer. The stock market has always balooned then deflated. It's just the nature of the stock market. When this bubble bursts, what then.
Umm......Obamacare does not take effect until 2014. So it has nothing to do with your figures.
Obamacare is another waste and illegal program the government is trying to strangle the people with.
If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait until it's free.
This is just not true. Are you making stuff up now.
Please tell me you don't believe that garbage. Do you actually pay taxes? So you are telling me that under Obama, your taxes has gone down. Just wait until Obamacare takes effect. Your taxes to pay for this one program is going to be outrageous.
Look, 86% of all federal income taxes are paid by the top 25% of income earners. People making the most money are paying the most in taxes. This is not in dispute. Isn't this enough? How much more of other peoples money do you want to take. The problem is government. Government programs and regulations need to be cut in order to get the house in order. You don't fix the problem by taking other peoples money.

How should it matter that people have stopped looking?
The republican congress insists on stopping unemployment benefits past 99 weeks. I guess you're right, if the GOP can ignore the unemployed then the administration can too.
When the 'mandate' takes effect in 2014 more than 90% of Americans won't see any penalty in the form of tax. You keep claiming taxes are going to go up, 'just wait...they're gonna skyrocket!'
I told you Obama is going to take all our guns away, would you believe me?
