He's leaps and bounds better for the middle class than any republican in the last 30 years. Is it because they're really not a "news" outlet but a propaganda arm of the fascist right? lol Why challenge Obama?

Should we attempt to live in our own little bubble and pretend as though the rest of the world doesn't exist? Now I'm not saying we should allow people outside of America to determine who runs the country, but we should take into consideration the way the rest of the world views us and the decisions we make. America is not alone in this. The decisions we make have an impact on everyone else, and vice-versa. If the majority of the people across the world see Obama's policies as something positive, as something that truly does allow for the possibility of peace, then why don't we at least listen to what they have to say and ask ourselves why they feel this way. I feel like your comments are incredibly emotional, using words like "I wanted to vomit," and "before he tells me who to cast a vote for in this great nation." In other words, you're making this too personal, all about me me me. We should consider all view points, and allow for open discourse so as to better allow for a positive solution. I admit this is difficult and always has been, especially considering the enormous amount of politicizing that both the left and right engage in. I believe Fox has its strong moments, as does MSNBC. And both have their weak points as well, attempting to spin stories to their own advantage. But we shouldn't tune someone or something out simply because we disagree with it. It is that kind of blind thinking that has led to many problems in the past. And by the way, I simply cut and paste those things that Obama has accomplished during his stay in the white house. The question has always been "what has Obama done" and nobody seems ready to answer it. So, I put the list here for people to read. And to say that is a waste of time, to say that allowing people to see what he has done is a waste of time, is missing the point. It's not about whether or not Obama makes us "vomit," it's about figuring out what is best for our country, and seeing who can lead us to the place we want to be. At least look at what he has done before you make conclusions about him. @He Hate Me: So, are you saying America should ignore the rest of the world and adopt an isolationist mentality like we did prior to WWII?

That was a real oversight on the part of the media when he was on the campaign trail doing the whole globalist, one-world thing-----they should have hammered him but they love the guy so darn much. The world's people shouldn't have a say in who we elect. We rule our own democracy (yes, special interests are involved on all sides to a degree).....but when he spoke at the Bradenburg gate in Berlin, I wanted to vomit------what gave then US junior Senator from Illinois Barack Hussein Obama the right to take such an action? Taxpayers foot the bill for what is left of our sorry democracy. A Russian sitting in Moscow needs to fix his own nation's problems before he tells me who to cast a vote for in this great nation.
