Why am I totally NOT surprised...
But we can debate merits of legalizing marijuana in another thread. "For medicinal purposes" is just a smokescreen just like "for the kids" to invoke an emotional response.

Mitt. Of course, he owns ALL of them, which he purchased with a weeks worth of income from his investments in America in Switzerland. Right? And Obama, right after he immigrates to the US and outlaws profit in the business world, is going to take all of Mitt's Hayabusa's and distribute them to lazy people who refuse to work.

Obama here's why, the economy has shown slow growth and 31 Straight Months Of Private Sector Job growth despite the stall and sabotage tactics of those that have decided to put their political affiliation and own agenda over helping America get back on it's feet. They told America that they were not interested in fixing the economy until after November because a slow economy is what Romney will run on, Republicans said their number one goal was making President Obama a one term president.
These games that are being played with peoples lively hood, stalling attempts to fix the economy just to build frustration and get votes is what pisses me off most. My family has not had to struggle and I thank the lord, but I know many that have and to know that you have people that think about themselves over the greater need of a nation is disturbing.
And if Mitt is elected what the heck will FOX news do? Obama hate is 98% of there platform
I think Colon Powell said it best in his endorsement of Pres. Obama, I think anybody but FOX news viewers realize this:
"When he took over, the country was in very very difficult straits. We were in the one of the worst recessions we had seen in recent times, close to a depression. The fiscal system was collapsing. Wall Street was in chaos, we had 800,000 jobs lost in that first month of the Obama administration and unemployment peaked a few months later at 10 percent. So we were in real trouble. The auto industry was collapsing, the housing was start[ing] to collapse and we were in very difficult straits. And I saw over the next several years, stabilization come back in the financial community, housing is now starting to pick up after four years, it's starting to pick up. Consumer confidence is rising."
Summarizing the past four years under Obama, Powell said "Generally we've come out of the dive and we're starting to gain altitude." He acknowledged that problems remain, saying "The unemployment rate is too high, people are still hurting in housing but I see that we're starting to rise up."
Turning to foreign policy, Powell said he saw "the president get us of one war, start to get us out of a second war and did not get us into any new wars. And finally I think that the actions he has taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very very solid. And so, I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on."
Powell expressed his concern about Republican candidate Mitt Romney's changing positions on international affairs. "The governor who was saying things at the debate on Monday night ... was saying things that were quite different from what he said earlier. I'm not quite sure which Gov. Romney we would be getting with respect to foreign policy."
"One day he has a certain strong view about staying in Afghanistan but then on Monday night he agrees with the withdrawal, same thing in Iraq. On almost every issue that was discussed on Monday night, Governor Romney agreed with the President with some nuances. But this is quite a different set of foreign policy views than he had earlier in the campaign. And my concern ... is that sometimes I don't sense that he has thought through these issues as thoroughly as he should have."
Powell also said that he has given close consideration to Romney's domestic policies. "As I listen to what his proposals are especially with respect to dealing with respect to our most significant issue, the economy, it's essentially let's cut taxes and compensate for that with other things but that compensation does not cover all of the cuts intended or the new expenses associated with defense."

Does Obama get to blame himself if he gets elected again for the previous president's poor policies and financial irresponsibility in his first term? I'm just wondering if/when he and the obama-ites will give up the "it's not my fault" blame. 
Afterall...he has been the POTUS for 3.75 years now and for over half of that he held majority in congress? Anyone can put a bunch of **** on a credit card and look like they are on top of their finances for a little while...in the end, it inevitably comes crashing down.

I would never have guessed you to be married to a Republican Woman!
With the power a woman maintains over a man there is still time for her to bring you around to the world of reality!
Maybe?

My wife is a liberal. I'm more moderate libertarian.

Speaking of the economy I don't think it really is his fault, and that 2 year majority you speak of was more like 5 months that they had a filibuster proof majority when totaled up, some of that time was during recess. Fox news has been putting this lie out for a while now. The part they usually leave out is the Republicans filibustered nearly everything that President Obama and Democrats have tried to do since the moment Obama took office in January 2009 and that Democrats had a 60-vote majority from July 7, 2009 to August 25, 2009 and again from September 25, 2009 to February 4, 2010..
Here's the thing If you walk into a mess, it really does take time to clean it up and that clean up may force your hand, besides it took how many years to break it? You can not expect to fix it in a couple years. Obama was wrong to think that the American people would be more important than maintaining political party lines, so he should have had more realistic recovery goals, besides you can't please everybody and with the hate machine distorting every fact and creating an alternate reality it complicates it further.
You are 100% correct about the credit card statement, that is the same point that people try to explain when they talk about how much the deficit is under Obama, those credit card charges weren't made during his term but he is stuck with the bill that included
two wars that weren't paid for, tax cuts that weren't paid for, a prescription drug plan that was not paid for, and then the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression that required additional emergency actions.
