Funny how so many commenters seem to have made it their mission to defend this goon and blame conservatives for all of the nation's troubles (hell, many journalists have made a career out of president-defending and conservative-bashing), when it's obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that they (congressmen) are really all the same at this point and have covertly designed this entire mess TOGETHER just to perpetuate the status quo that IS working for THEM but not US. While we struggle to make ends meet, these politicians are living high on the hog and high-fiving each other for keeping us so evenly divided and pitted against one another that neither major party (that are actually one party with different rhetoric but virtually identical policies of "do as little as possible while giving the appearance of 'trying' to 'fix' things") will ever fail despite their failing US! It's true that Obamacare is a newer version of an old Republican plan, but of course, the Reps can't endorse it for risk of alienating their "half" of the country, and the Dems certainly aren't going to give them credit in public. And the Dems have their base fooled into thinking they are against big oil and low corporate taxes, but what do they DO about the stranglehold big oil and corps have on the everyman? That's right, nothing. Nothing tangible anyway, but they talk the talk and the sheep eat it up like Cheerios. And many of the Dems, including John Kerry, own stock in "big oil," yet the Reps are known as the party of big oil. And now Obama is getting a pass for perpetuating "Bush's war for oil" and even for starting a new one, and anything that's wrong in government is blamed on "the right." Wake up, sheeple! They're in it together--not for the American people, but for their own pocketbooks. Neither party is working to give us the "change" we really want, and until we vote out ALL incumbents who've spend the past 30 years or so digging these holes and making these messes, how can we expect anyone to fix anything? Do you really think that the Dems care any more than the Reps that you may not be able to feed your family or fill up your tank, while they jet around in private planes on your dime? They are the very people who got us into this mess, yet they keep getting reelected based on their rhetoric, because their SHEEP can't see past their own ideals, even when their "REPRESENTATIVES" don't work toward them. It's all rhetoric, and in practice, there is really only one side of the "aisle" in congress today. This man is getting all this credit for a creeping, crawling recovery by perpetuating a trend that was started by BUSH, including the bailouts and the tax cuts. While ignoring these FACTS, his sheep continue to lavish him with praise for any positive reports and completely ignore the actions (war mongering, pandering to corps) that Bush was vilified for. NOBA-A-A-A-A-MA 2012. OUT WITH ALL INCUMBENTS. VOTE THIRD PARTY OR INDEPENDENT!! It's our only chance at real "change."

Polls: The general populous doesn't understand anything more than a linear nursery rhyme.

Forty-seven percent of the country supports Soetoro? I know that autism has increased markedly throughout the land, but I didn't know about the increase in stupidly and retardation. On the other hand, The WP employs a lot of lefties, so the data may be spurious.
