    Even our military largely recognizes the fakery of Bush and the positives of Obama.

    Now, your point was...?

    Right in their face. Obama = banker/corporatist toolbag.

    Most don't seem to understand that collectivist top-down governance and corporate rule goes hand-in-hand. Well yes, it does, and on the broader definition it is called faaaaaaascism.

    Seems funny while everyone calls Obama a socialist, marxist whatever else, he really is a fascist. Welcome to the Fascist states of America, hope you are one of those with an inside seat.

    Cartoon by Robert Minor in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1911. Karl Marx surrounded by an appreciative audience of Wall Street financiers: John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, John D. Ryan of National City Bank and Morgan partner George W. Perkins. Immediately behind Marx is Teddy Roosevelt, leader of the Progressive Party.

    Replace the "Perkins" figure with Jeffrey Immelt, the head of General Electric … and therefore ruler of its subsidiary, NBC … and then replace Marx with Barack Obama … and, well, all that's missing are the intellectual and monetary powers above the gathering, the Red-winged angels of Saul Alinsky and George Soros.

    Collectivism is money for the banker scheme. Obama prosecuted ZERO bankers or politicians for the biggest swindle in history.

    At least it's way better than under Bush or any other con job, and will remain that way for many years to come. Got your popcorn and KLEENEX?

    First off, how is it way better?

    Second, why is better good enough? It's like saying that you hit harder than a 5 year old girl. That sure isn't a very good comparison.

    I guess if you consider national debt to be a good thing, than Obama is the greatest president ever.

    Sure, we're scoring big time, but I'm content to kick back and watch Obama continue his head tenderizing leadership dance on con skulls as he presides over a rebounding America that has your kind spittin' mad.

    No, Bush was the guy who allowed his half of the bailout billions to go straight into the pockets that caused the problems. Obama's half had the positive effects.

    what is my kind ? I don't route for the other team.

    But like a good stooge, you think there are only two, and yours has all the good guys on it. So simplistic, only a child could believe it, and you certainly have risen to the challenge.

    I can accept that if I blew it on some minor point including you incorrectly. But otherwise I stand by my reply.

    It is a needed evil that our presidents be funded by these corps. While it is a noble and great thing that individuals and the military donate they do not bring in the dollars to make the candidate visible and get there message across. This could probably be said of the last few presidents.
