All he needs is for you to throw him over your knee and give him a couple to the bottom.

Because I'm not gay... I have insurance. I voted for Obama, not because of what I have, but because of what others don't have. It's a concept for conservatives, I know, to look out for somebody else not as lucky

What? Your premise is that he hasn't really changed anyone's life, yet your reasoning for voting for him is because some individuals "don't have." So you are claiming he does not impact any of us on an individual level yet you voted for him so that he would. Also, by the way, perhaps conservatives don't have to be governed into looking out for others. Ever consider that?

Not much has changed for me. I still work the same job. My paycheck is a few dollars more (like $50). The fact that the govt partially owns a car company doesn't affect my life personally one bit. My guns are still in my closet. So, I'm cool.

The problem being, the government doesnt have the right to buy-out a private business. The more we let them get away with, the more they will take.

In order to change, they will have to do it slowly. Take liberties a little at a time. People get used to it, then they take another. Simple as that!!!

The amount of national debt apportioned to me has grown like crazy and will continue to grow at an unprecedented rate (thanks Obama)

I'm less confident in the market due to the spending/borrowing plans going forward (thanks Obama)

I fear buying the stock or bonds of companies that are "too big to fail" - particularly if they have union workers since this administration sees no problem with wiping out shareholders or senior creditors and redistributing that $ to union members (thanks Obama).

I now live in a country where the president and ruling party will use any means necessary to advance an agenda that the majority of the public opposes and has bi-partisan opposition (thanks Obama)

I now live in a country where even one of the most liberal SCJs will not attend state of the union addresses since the POTUS openly trashes them during his speech (thanks Obama)

My social security and Medicare have become unfunded liabilities and the response of this president is to add more entitlements making SS and Medicare less stable. (thanks Obama)

I have to invest more for my retirement because of the above statement but because of the 2nd and 3rd statements above, my retirement funds are less stable (thanks Obama)

I feel less secure because the administration coddles our enemies (see Iran) while publicly chastising our allies (see Israel). Our administration snubs the anniversary of the wall coming down and has built no personal relationships with any of our allies (unlike every past president). The citizens of Europe love him but there are no signs that the leaders of Europe do. (thanks Obama)

My economic future is threatened by this administration's unwillingness to put its transformation agenda aside to handle pressing economic issues. Further, this administration claims it is focused "like a laser beam" on jobs when in fact we've seen a year filled with focus on HC and little more. (thanks Obama).

This is just a partial list and it's only been a little over a year.

It hasn't gotten better. Democrats promise it every year, but somehow can't ever deliver.

My life hasn't changed, but it's sure as hell not better. If anything, I have more anxiety now than in any year of the Bush administration.

Regulations forced by democrats exacerbated the housing bubble crisis. Tax receipts are down all over the place, and they want to tax more to get that money. It's just a matter of time.

They'll do anything to solidify their power, America be damned.

You have everything figured out in your grad school bubble. 5.00 mochachinos get a hell of a lot more expensive when it's not mom and dad paying for them.

Apparently TC doesn't understand the concept of passing things now that will affect your life in 2-4 years.

It's not like Obama has a magic wand that changes everything in a blink of an eye. It's the things he's trying to cement in place that will royally screw up the country in the near future.

-The skyrocketing national debt can be attributed to more than just Obama. Clinton and Bush had a hand in it as well. Not to mention, McCain economic advisers are coming out and saying that he, too, would have had record breaking deficits if he had been elected.

-The last guy had his chance to fix Medicare but choose to implement the unfunded Part D for RXs for old people (The most reliable voting block). It adds massive amount to the debt every year (Thanks Bush)

-Supreme Court attendance to the SOTU has been spotty for many, many years. There wasn't a single Supreme Court Justice at the 1986 SOTU. There were a few times in the Clinton years where only two or three showed up. I don't think Souter ever attended one. Not even to GHW Bush who appointed him.

-The majority of Americans did not think that Iraq was a good idea at the time and that did not stop Bush or the Repubs from going against the will of the people. When the war went south and Bush pushed for The Surge, the majority of Americans were against it but that didn't stop Bush from going against the will of the people. That turned out alright, not great, but alright. Maybe this will too. We will have to wait and judge it on its merits later on after we see the effects.

-I whole-heartedly agree with the last point.

you do realize that plenty of dems voted to authorize the use of force against Iraq. To claim that it was just Bush and the GOP simply isn't true.

Obama has done nothing to address the issue. To the contrary, he signed on to 2 omnibus bills that raised Fed budgets by 20% in addition to his own budgets which do nothing.

He inherited deficits and is making them worse - I'd say that's a problem.

-The last guy had his chance to fix Medicare but choose to implement the unfunded Part D for RXs for old people (The most reliable voting block). It adds massive amount to the debt every year (Thanks Bush)

The last guy also tried to address the solvency of SS but the Dems blocked it. To the point, not only has Obama proposed nothing to address these two unfunded liabilities, he is adding another at the expense of some easy fixes for Medicare.

Once again, he took what he got and is making it worse not better.

-Supreme Court attendance to the SOTU has been spotty for many, many years. There wasn't a single Supreme Court Justice at the 1986 SOTU. There were a few times in the Clinton years where only two or three showed up. I don't think Souter ever attended one. Not even to GHW Bush who appointed him.

Yet the current guy chose to make it worse by publicly humiliating them for making a decision he disagrees with. Quite the post-partisan; new-kind of politician.

-The majority of Americans did not think that Iraq was a good idea at the time and that did not stop Bush or the Repubs from going against the will of the people. When the war went south and Bush pushed for The Surge, the majority of Americans were against it but that didn't stop Bush from going against the will of the people.

Not sure that the majority was against. If you take a look at the voting for the Use of Force Resolution you'll find it had quite strong bi-partisanship and the line of quotes from prominent dems RE WMD threats is a mile long.

HC Reform is far less popular both among the public and within Congress yet it is full-steam ahead.

-I whole-heartedly agree with the last point.

Why not help people own your own dime?

Why should i give more to the government, and let them distribute it? Why would I think it would go where I intended it through the government.

If Barack wants to send out a message to all Americans to help those who are down, I will be cool with that. I just don't see the need to send it to him first.

Wasn't there a something out where al gore donated only around 2,000 dollars to charity? It may have been a rumor.

I think everybody thinks health care should be affordable, just not a handout. People will just take advantage and milk the system.

The democrats were the most vociferous about 'regime change in Iraq' right up until the actual invasion and then they adopted the anti-war stance and activated their vietnam era acivists.

When it became obvious after numerous UN mandates that Bush would act, Jay Rockefeller head of the senate intelligence committee, went to Syria and Saudi Arabia and told them we would be intervening in Iraq, which gave Saddam the time he needed to remove WMDs to Syria and Byelo Rus.

Two words; democrat and lying *******s are synonimous, the democrats will get one of my votes over my dead body, which I might add is one of their fortes.
