Very true, but at least Obama wasn't born as one.

Would you rather have him do everything via executive order? How much power do you really think the president has?

Its not about power - its about leadership.

The spending packages are a great example. They had no direction or actual vision. Just billions upon billions in pork and pet project spending.

Have you honestly seen any improvements in the US's infrastructure, highway system, energy costs, or education systems?

I don't. I didn't want to call Romney a talking head with no body, dude is 6ish feet tall >_>

Nope. Am I going to see any of that from Romney? Nope. And most presidents are equally worthless in that sense, but because this president isn't the one that you chose people will try to tear him apart.

If all your friends jumped off a bridge... would you?

Don't marginalize one Presidents failures with estimations of another's. It certainly takes a power hungry crook to become President, but not all of them are total losers.

I'd argue (in jest) that Romney simply represents how low the bar has been set to challenge Obama.

I think if anything the last 15 years of candidates have shown the irreconcilable flaw with our electoral system.

Romney, Dole, McCain could not have been bigger lame ducks. Bush, Newt Gore, Hilary are products of pure cronyism and nepotism.

Actually Kerry and Romney are twins. They both represent either parts limp wrested attempt to field a candidate against a sitting President. Both are New England area aristocrats flushed with wealth and willing to flip-flop on any topic to garner votes, and not even in a clever Bill Clinton kind of way.


Fuck it.

Bret Farve for president.
