Obama is raising taxes. He has negotiated with North Korea & Syria (both are dictatorships, and every president since WWII has been friendly with Saudi Arabia, which is basically a dictatorship). He’s pushed for amnesty for illegal aliens. I don’t know if he has gay friends, but in this day and age, who doesn’t?
Reagan also cut government spending, including cutting social programs. He refused to bail out the auto industry. He was able to get both parties to work together for the greater good.
Obama increased spending. He bailed out GM by making the government a partner, thus increasing spending. He had a democratic majority the first two years he was in office, but wasn’t able to get his own party to work together for single payer health care or the economy.
Since the republicans have gained control of congress, they’ve made it worse with their pissing match for power, so I won’t blame him for that. But he had two years and basically got nothing done. If he had passed some solid economic policy reform, we’d be feeling the effects right now, and he’d be coasting on a high approval rating into his 2nd term. If he loses the election, it’s not because Romy is better, it’s because Obama screwed up. I’m just thankful Santorum is out at this point. If we get really lucky, people will vote out EVERY incumbent up for election, and maybe the guys coming in will get the message that if they don’t fix shit they’ll be gone too.
