People have started to realized that he was all smoke and mirrors, and the spending he's doing is irresponsible and could actually bankrupt the country.

Cut Military Funding. Dictators Are Nice. Vote Obama. Yes We Can. Or Rather, I Can. Vote Obama. Barack Obama will not adopt any of these slogans any time soon, I admit. But here's the irony – he could adopt such slogans and still win the election. That's because his followers do not hear a word he says. They watch him wave his arms; they scream and cheer as he fist-bumps his wife; they keel over in the aisles when he coughs, and jump up and down when he sneezes.

You rag on him for that too. Some people's minds can't be changed and you, OffGriSurvival, are clearly a lifelong Republican that will never vote for a Democrat no matter the circumstances. People that blindly vote party lines are the worst kind of people on earth.

In the south, we used to say that even a blind pig finds the occasional acorn. I think his recent proposals of no gas tax holidays and off-shore drilling might trump that...call me crazy. Oh, and we forget McBush's major contribution to the environment - war. Gets rid of (pardon me Mr. Dickens) all the surplus population. If you really care about our playground (Earth), you'll vote Obama. And, guys, Obama is change. Not revolution, change. Hopefully, we get to find out for sure. He's got my vote and contributions. And, since I'm a lifetime Democrat, I believe that I do care about the environment, the economy, and the world. Lot's of my Democratic friends do to...and truthfully, some of my Republican friends care also. Wow…Norski…you found a single example.

This guy has done nothing, yet people act like he is the second coming. And why is this guy over in Europe acting like he is the President discussing foreign policy? Seems a little arrogant to me. Maybe he thinks he's running for the job of King of the world. I wish people would wake up to the fact that neither the democrats nor the Republicans could give a $%$# about you. They are both 2 sides of the same coin. They don't care about the environment, the economy or anything besides retaining power.

Hmmmmmm......seems like he's got a pretty good track record!
