OK, so people who thought GWB or Obama were bad presidents, define that.

When you woke up one day, was your life different?

thankfully we live in Virginia which was largely unaffected by the economic collapse of 2008...due to a number of factors...but a lot of folks across the country have struggled. Like Matty stated above, a lot of folks due to the Bush/Obama economy cant make enough to live on and have to get help. Some fault is on those individuals, some on economic factors.

Certainly if you known anybody that has fought war or been deployed have been affected.

The failures of both Bush and Obama are evident. Bush economic policies, Obama foreign policies.

This country could do a lot better....ALOT better. National deficit, stagnant wage growth along with cost of living are absolutely terrible right now. Obama has sat back and watched it happen. Look across the world and there is so much instability abroad its frighten.

Africa, Middle East, South/Central America, South East Asia...I wouldn't travel abroad right now to any of those places. Its absolutely sad...the snowball been rolling and the team of Obama/Kerry/Susan Rice foreign policy has been terrible. Shit Hillary was more effective and she got state department folks killed abroad!

Do tell. How is Obama supposed to handle this without the help of Congress?

He can set the legislative agenda, propose plans, actively engage party leadership, and start the conversation with the American people. You know the Presidency is a leadership role.

He did take some small steps in cutting the budget which were positive.

But the right have been some dickheads...Paul Ryan will be a better leader in there.

you mean the unfunded war with simultaneous tax cuts? i thought the GOP was supposed to understand financials and help shrink the government and balance the budget.

personally though, my time in iraq etc wouldn't have been possible without leaders like these. so um, waking up in 135 degree sandbox without a/c was definitely a bit different. or mortar drills.

getting out and having a hard time getting hired cause my job didn't require a TS clearance and the economy stank wasn't a great experience either. luckily i live in a place where my house/mortgage didn't get turned upside down and i knew better than to get anything that wasn't a 30 year fixed, so i avoided that whole disaster (which was partially caused by clinton's push to get home ownership up, and mainly pushed by greed).

you are actually capable of reading comprehension, right?

he asked me how things changed, i provided an example. if that's to difficult to grasp, maybe you need to go back and get that GED.
