Economy & smaller government.

Where are the Jobs OBAMA?

Change the country's direction.......recover tradition and values.

Morals

Hate to be nitpicky, but you can't call lies facts. Second paragraph.

Debt is the big Issue: "America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." - Obama 2006.

“Today I’m pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we’ve long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay — and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control.” Obama 2009

I agree with 2006 and 2009 Obama that 2012 Obama is a failure. Vote for anybody else or don't vote....please.

Whatever best helps small business. Coming from a family of small business owners, whatever is going to best help small business is at the heart of it for me.

1. Job Creation
2. Protecting Medicare / Social Security
3. Tax policy

National Security and economy. Neil Sherrod, Randolph County

National Security and Healthcare.

1-That my leaders understand supply side economics do not work
2-That my country remember that poverty is bad for the whole country, not just for the poor
3-That my country recognize that corporations are not people

Get our country back and quit catering to those who hate us.
PLEASE!

1. The American Dream is equal opportunity, not equal results, aka "shared prosperity"
2. We already have the most progressive tax code on the face of the earth, we have a spending problem, not a tax problem.
3. Corporations are owned by PEOPLE and they employ PEOPLE.

I normally vote for the candidate that most closely shares my political perspective. I will be voting for President Obama, even though I strongly disagree with him on a couple of issues. I will not be voting for Governor Romney because I disagree with him on probably eight out of ten issues.

I will not support Romney, BUT will Vote against Obama, Because, Failure of Leadership, the Ecomony, The Job Rate is Highest ever in my history of time, Moral values in this country are the worest, I have ever seen, The Nations Debt is the largest ever, because of give away programs that did not work. Welfare, Food Stamps, now Cell Phone, programs are out of hand, Gasoline is high, why not drill in the United States or off shore, get away from the middle east. This administration cannot contral the Illegals coming into this country, to take away American Jobs. I could go on & on. But somebody else needs to write in also.

To get out a message- our problem exists because of congressional decisions made decades ago! The robbery of Social Security to fund other government entitlement programs (Ponzi scheme on the grandest scale). The systematic fleecing of the American public's money, and trust, by out-of-touch professionial politicians bent on serving themselves and their "special interests'" pockets instead of making decisions for the good of "Joe America". We The People need to realize that swapping figurehead Presidents on term limits will NOT solve the problems caused by the decades of inept decision-making by our so-called representatives(House and Senate!). When this "good-ol' boy's club" get's put on term limits like the presidency, changes for the good of the people will start to happen, and fast! Of course our sitting "professionals" in Congress will NEVER vote themselves out of a cushy job with free travel,special health insurance, and lifetime benefits by passing such an amendment to the Constitution.- BUT WE CAN! Vote every 2 years in the congressional election for everyone not "incumbent" or running on a congressional term-limit platform, and in four years all the criminals in congress are gone. All the members who really want to do good for the country are left, and they are on a time-line to succeed before they get replaced. Setting term limits means rotation in Congress, thus more " for the people, by the people!" Anyone listening?

Stability. I've seen the free fall stop and a slight curve upward start to happen. Is it fast enough? Definitely not for those who are unemployed or underemployed. Definitely not for those who have lost their businesses, homes, or both. I do see progress and I want to continue to see progress. I'm not thrilled with President Obama's results but I am optimistic that jobs are returning and housing is recovering...ever so slowly.

Education, honesty, economy, and the cost of living must match working wages! These are my concerns!

1) Economy - Wasteful spending of the Government on "fluff" - Over regulation of business impeding the recovery - Need for government to Prioritize the real needs of the US and not the Politically Correct Wants
2) National Security - Lack of Border control - Government Interference in the implementation of State and Federal laws that deal with those issues
3) Military Deployment - We don't need downsizing, we need a reality check on where and what our troops really need to be doing to protect our National Security
4) Energy Development - Get off the Property and use our Resources - The Govt has been telling us since the 70's that we need to get off the Foreign Oil - Quit stalling and do it. That doesn't mean that new energy sources can't be developed, just quit bankrupting the citizens in the government effort to "go green" Energy costs are the number one need for every citizen followed by food

@Debbie
1.What specific spending cuts would you make?
2.What regulations would you do away with?
3.We spend more on the military than the entire world put together/Surely some old cold war equipment and wasteful practices could be cut.
4.The government has already given the oil companies more leases than they have the capacity to drill on.Perhaps the high demand created by emerging nations(China and India)has something to do with supply and demand.Did you knoe that general Motorsnow sells morecars in China than the United States.
We need more specifics and less platitudes.Please we are waiting.

Ron Paul 2012. Like a Boss!

Personal liberties and freedoms, for one. An idea of self-responsiblity, for another. I know that what we have now is definitely not ideal for any of this, but I'm starting to get the idea that the other side isn't either....

@ Paul Wallace
Paul, I must agree with you only half-way. It is not just the democratic reps and senators who have promulgated this farce of a government. Lets do a historical survey of which congressmen wrote, introduced, funded, lobbied for, and voted for legislation that upped congressional salaries several times, provided extra-ordinary health benefits for life to any and all congress, and gives them benefits and immunities not allowed John Q. Public. Want to bet there are as many Republicans as Democrats? The issue we don't realize is that the majority of legislation on Capitol Hill is performed by"professional politicians" who are either the sons or daughters of the"big-money controlling class" waving their dollars in the twentys and thirtys to buy the decisions for personal gain, not the common good. Or they are the professionals bought and paid for by special interest groups intent on having legislation written for their gain since the 60s and 70s.. Either way, these "professional politicians" are not there for the good of the common man.

End the Wars in Afganistan and Iraq, bring our boys home and stop spending all the money just to feed them-trillions.
Regulate Wall Street-we are still paying off the S&L mess, not to mention the banks bailout. How many lost their 401K's and now they talk about cutting SS, or Medicaid, all in one swoop. Not the right time for these folks or the many jobless, and lost all the equity in they houses.

Biggest issue is not be hypocritical and vote a similar guy into office.

Romney has favored a constitutional amendment that says that no one can be president unless he or she has run a business in the private sector for three years.

So why did he pick a VEEP who, if the amendment passes, will not be eligible?

In other ways too, Ryan's voting record is pretty much like Obama's:

http://www.rlc.org/2012/08/11/the-paul-ryan-record/

It is almost as if Romney wants Obama to be his VEEP. Someone who supports RomneyCare.

Narrow G, YOU appear to be an older man, 1 can only hope that you will not be able to cast your vote for failure on election day. You are what is WRONG with this country. You only see what you want & when slapped in the face with reality you fall back on "TALKING POINTs" $ LIES from your O-DUMA. If you want to blame congress realize that in O-DUMA's first 2 years he had control of the congress & O-Duma wasted it with putting into place a medical program that will bankrupt more companies &cause our economy to continue to free fall. He is a failure. He is narrow minded. He works to make our country weak. He has no leadership qualities. He has never held a 5-9 job. He has never produced a single dollar from his own sweat. He is a taker & a user. Worst of ALL He BELIEVES what he is doing to our country is WISE! NO country had ever profited from socialism. All world countries was to be AMERICA! Not any more! People lie, cheat, steal & die to come to this country because of its rich American Dream. You don't see people trying to sneak into CUBA or RUSSIA! It is the fault of the American people that our country is in shambles because they do not EDUCATE THEMSELVES OR VOTE! O-duma ran on change &change we got, lost jobs, lost houses, lost 401K's, over spending, $ to his campaign contributors, & a steady stream of VACATIONS at our expense,with 40% increase in food stamps. Only an fool would vote this farce back into office. NOW, LET ME TELL YOU HOW I REALLY FEEL ABOUT ODUMA!

WHO will Oduma blame if he is re elected? HIMSELF? How long can a man continue to blame his own lack of leadership on others, 1 year? 2 years? 3 years? 4 years? 5 years? Shall I go on!
He is a good public speaker.......it is what got him elected.

The new polls only showing him leading in ONE THING! Between those who voted in the last presidential election, ODUMA"S supporters lead in declaring they are not going to vote in THIS election! What does this tell us? It says that even the people that put this fool in office can NOT SAY I MADE A MISTAKE and now I need to correct MY MISTAKE! So, they simply will not vote! I LOVE that. It is normal that when weak people make a mistake, they will not own up to it and make amends, say they are sorry, move forward, and try to correct their wrong actions. These people that are saying, "I CAN NOT VOTE FOR ODUMA again because I see he WAS & DID exactly what the republicans said he was. Far worst is that he did to our economy and country exactly what they said he would do! I can not admit my MISTAKE so .....I simply will OPT OUT!!! I think that is a wonderful new campaign slogan for the DUMBOCRATS.
"Putting My Mistake on the Shelve, I'm OPTING OUT IN 20 12 !"

Well lets hope all his sheep will make this their battle cry for 20 12!

Cynthia Montgomery is spewing racist hate today. Moderator - PLEASE BAN HER.

Cynthia - why don't you go suck down a cocktail and leave your keyboard on this "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day?"

She probably means it as racist, but unarguably, I cannot prove that she is being racist. I will just pick up my quilt and move to another forum. Anywhere that doesn't include Cynthia Montgomery and her cheerleader.

What was the question again? Oh yeah, the election. My "issue" will be the location of the nearest Obama victory rally. You can stick a fork in Romney/Ryan, they never really had a chance.

Today's Electoral College tally: Obama 312 - Romney 226

Athens, My blog did NOT mention race at all, I no longer even CONSIDER THE RANTINGS OF a RACE CARD PLAYER! That old RACE CARD has been played more times that Monopoly in the 70's! Crying race wolf is DEAD! You voted for a LOU SER, & now won't own up to it! So.... you simply thinking pulling out the dead, tattered, over used, weak, nobody cares anymore. RACE CARD will shut up thinking people! NOT!!! If you are black & you did NOT vote for ODUMA, your own race called you an UNCLE TOM! Now how is that for freedom of speech. RACE SMACE, we have had a black man in office and HE failed. WHITE, BLACK, HALF WHITE, HALF BLACK, MALE, FEMALE, CATHOLIC, BAPTIST, MORMAN, JEW, GAY, STRAIGHT, DEAD OR ALIVE...HE FAILED! Sorry MAMA, no race hater here - just a truth lover. It is time you take your own advice& take a cocktail cause your going to need one if your Oduma gets reelected. No thinking man or woman even blinks an eye anymore when a fool raises the "RACE CARD." I did feel for Jesse J. the other day when he hurried to get on the news in an attempt to keep the race wars alive. Educated blacks have homes, careers, 401K's & are educating their children, The RACE WAGON has driven off with successful hard working blacks at the wheel. So put your OLD TATTERED RACE CARD away because NOBODY cares anymore! HE failed. Just like Jimmy Carter, YOUR MAN FAILED. Nobody called racist when we did not put Carter back in! Like MLK said, ODUMA is being judged, not by the color of his skin but ...

Jimmy - Sandy - when a liberal is told the truth, and tries to dispute it with lies (Bush's first term...uh..ok), they cry racism. Where have you been during election season? If it can't be disputed, it must be racism. That word means nothing anymore because it has been cheapened by the overuse of it as an excuse. And Cynthia - right on. This land is full of opportunity for all people. I wish more folks would listen to Herman Cain for a while give his testimony of his hard working family and the ethics that he was raised with and then take a hard look at the excuse macine. It won't look the same.

Electorals - Are moving swiftly. O- 237, R-206. But the toss-up states are Wisconsin, NV, IA, Fla and Colorado (where the feds have stepped in it multiple times and ticked people off). O took somes states before that are now leaning Republican. Senate races are turning into R's all over. may or may not be close. Time will tell (as long as people don't get sucked into the propaganda commercials). Never seen so much dirt and lies in any campaign in my life. All started with "hanging chads" - oooooooh, they MEANT to vote for Gore -hahahahaha. Once people swallowed that kool-aid, it seems that they craved more of it. They'll believe anything but the evidence in front of them. Speaking on evidence...GM is going bankrupt again. How's that stimulus (to save GM) that you'll be paying on forever going for ya? Should have listened.

I’m sure CM missed some group to tick off in her list, but hey, we only get so many characters…

No... to be fair, Mr. Obama didn’t fail just like Jimmy Carter...
He may just have EXCEEDED the NEED beyond all expectations.

Jimmy may have been misguided or a poor chooser of staff during his tenure. He may have rammed the Panama Canal treaty down our collective throats. I don’t recall Executive privilege being claimed though.

(With a brother like Billy I know I would have)

He did set the stage for every following President, regardless of party, with the Israel Egypt peace accords. And to this day, no one since has achieved the same level of success. (Though LORD knows we've meddled so it aint for lack of tryin)The country didn't get DOWNGRADED in its rating during his term. He didn't get a Treausy Sec that couldn't file his OWN taxes, he knew what the meaning of "is" is.

While some of the economic issues / jobless rates parallel, we have NOT seen the gas lines, we haven’t yet SEEN the interest rate and INFLATION damage or the IRANIAN incident that tumbled Jimmy’s Presidency.

When that day finally flys in and ROOSTS, Jimmy will fade from the annals he now infamously holds and Barry will take the shrine he so rightly qualifies for…

If we could all, just once again, happen to talk with AMY over breakfast about Nuclear Disarmament…

It would signal the return of Morning in AMERICA!

So much for the “Thrill up one’s leg” eh?

Paul Wallace I am sure you are taking that knowledge pill! You are so smart! Obama 2012

I love a spirited debate & that is why I hosted one for Gwinnett county voters. I held 4 jobs, took 21 hours, was a UGA Dean's List GRAD. I did rupture my back, requiring surgery, while working as a photographer, for a major photo company! SORRY Evelyn but I DO HAVE THE PROOF. I worked for my scars & honors! You are correct in the fact the Obama did take over Bush's job, just like Bush took over Clintons mess on day 1 of his presidency. Each new president takes the good, bad, & ugly from the president before him. Most lead. ODUMA blamed. I believe, we the people, get what we have because we have not voted the high spending, job hugging, I got mine, politicians out of office when we have a chance. Vote out the other state's guy but NOT my guy! HOG WASH. We could fix this whole mess is we put in an amendment to the constitution that reads, "NO ELECTED OFFICIAL MAY RUN FOR RE-ELECTION IF THE HOUSE & SENATE DOES NOT PASS A BALANCED BUDGET DURING HIS TERM IN OFFICE" Wish I could take credit but, it is enough that I just pass it along to educated voters. 40% are left. 40% are right. 20% will decide whom is our next president. I would keep some of the ODUMA care but as we all know it will bankrupt the country.We will still pay for those who will not pay for their own coverage. Foolish! For those of you who can't understand how an intelligent person could vote for ODUMA, now you can see how Hitler came to power! Hitler hated the Jews, Obama hates the rich! Class Warfare

Cynthia you are still speaking rhetoric, look at the facts Clinton did not cause the downward spiral. You didn't get those scars by sweating, accidents do happen. So what you have a degree I have one too! Focus on the issues not individuals.... If Romney wins let me know if things get better. Doubtful! Obama 2012! I'm questioning your intelligence due to the fact you have not stated one fact about any issues or policies.

OH EVELYN, you make me laugh. But the facts are that liberals will demand specifics & when confronted with them them change the subject! No matter how many facts I may provide, you will never accept any of them as fact! Just ask Mr Brian, he will tell you I refuse to supply any facts to liberals because THEY WILL NOT EVER BELIEVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT THEIR LEADERS SPOON FEED THEM! It is a sickness that most liberals have caught! Clinton and the word down should never be used in the same sentence. He took this country & covered it with vulgarity and then used it to keep himself in office. The more the right was offended and outraged the more he became a pathetic victim of his own actions & gained by it! Stop the blame & lets get our country back on track with new visions, new leadership & new ideas. ODUMA had his time & he will be remembered by millions that used to be hard working middle class citizens that wound up on food stamps and lost their homes. If you had a good investment broker, you should have made back your stock money by now. Everyone my husband handled has, so the problem is still the mindset that the government will spend us out of this mire. Government jobs are a necessary evil in today's society but it is the man & woman who start their own business & hire people that makes America great! Time to choose a new direction. Time to make a new decision. Time to vote for R&R. Time for a little rest and relaxation for the weary. Educate yourself and VOTE

More and more rhetoric Cynthia, "lol", I am laughing out loud! By the way my husband is a business owner of 23 years, doing very well thank you! I am educated! Still know facts! Cynthia stop complaining and just cast your vote in November! As a little citizen that's you can do! By the way i doubt if Romney or Ryan have scars like you Cynthia, question their work ethics and intelligence! Obama 2012

It is amazing that the board of directors and the Chamber of commerce are finding issue with the US corporate tax rate. So they can off shore to "SOCIALIST" countries with lower tax rates that subsidies their worker with healthcare and six weeks paid vacation. Which in turn is subsidized again by the American tax payer. via military. Wake up?.... right. More like a sleeping sickness.

Mr B, The Hitler reference offers a look into the future by viewing the past. The saying goes, "We are doomed to repeat the past if we do not learn from it! Hitler raised his followers with their hate of Jews. Odume is using class warfare, against the rich, (anyone who has the brains to save for their future by putting away money in their companies 401K programs) to get re elected. He has no record so, he must use hate to get back into the White House. No record? His hate of the rich has been bred into him from his mentors. Workers are now being labeled RICH! Sounds like socialism to me! Treating one class of people for their specific group traits differently is racism. It is really self hate. Look above at the jobs he has held as proof of his qualifications for becoming a president. Wrote 2 books? Terry Bradshaw should be president, I enjoyed his book! As for being a congressman & senator, come on, who wants to use those dishonors as a reason to vote for someone, maybe 50 years ago but today few are statesmen, most are simply politicians. I will give you credit for him being a teacher, teachers get no deserved credit or deserved pay so WHAT DID HE TEACH and WHERE did he teach and for how long did he teach? Inquiring minds want to know. We will be paying for him for the next 40 years whether or not he is reelected. GEE wonder which of his past "careers" he will go back to.... senator or teacher? LOL, I just kill myself sometimes - even this early in the morning!

Though Romney would not be my first choice I have to ask myself, "Has the election of Obama worked?""Are my fellow Americans and I better off?"
The answers:
No, it has not worked, at all. If Obama were a mechanic, his customer's car would be stranded on the side of the road during rush hour.
No, my fellow Americans and I are not better off, we are worse off.
It would be best to go to a new shop, but we can't, so I am going to at least request a different mechanic. I need my car to go to work.

The good news is that my new mechanic has a lot more practical experience at repairing my car. If the shop lets HIM work on my car, I feel I have a better chance of getting to work.

Getting back to the original question:
1. Offer incentives for American companies to hire American workers. The American Dream died when companies were allowed to move their businesses to other countries.
2. Offer honest diplomacy in debates, not party lines and empasse. How could a president succeed when Congress vowed to make him a one term leader.
3. Enforce our borders, by whatever means necessary, against all intruders. Bring our troops home to defend American interests in the United States, not abroad.
4. Offer businesses the promise of stability so they can forecast their future and start hiring and growing. Nobody wants to spend when they don't know how much they will be taxed.
These are the things I want to see in the next year. Anything less, and we will have riots in the streets. What is this voting stuff going on? If you are an American, you have the right to vote...Period.
One last quote from Vice President Biden, "GM is alive and Osama Bin Laden is dead!" Kind of sums it up, doesn't it?

Come on everybody. Stop with the "(your political favorite) is the cause of this economic mess" or "(your political favorite) hasn't solved this economic mess".

Step back and look at it. This mess did not just happen in one day, week or year. Economic policies (and lack there of) from both political parties in US and others around the world caused this. Economists warned for years we were living on BORROWED $'s and time.

This has been the worse economic event since the "Great Depression" and maybe even the "Long Depression" (look it up). FDR and policies of the 30's and early 40's did little to change the situation, and it finally took the mobilization of the US manufacturing for WW-II to get us out of the depression. I've heard where learned economists are saying 5-7 more years before the economy will recover to the levels prior to our current event.

Keep these targeted labels "Socialists" (extreme far left) and "Facists" (extreme far right) to a minimum, as they only cause anger in others and get us nowhere. Besides, if you think our country is sliding towards socialism or facisism, maybe take a harder look at what countries that have been in those situations really experienced, and I think history will show you we are a long way from there.

I think we will be in a bad place if we do not require our politicians to tell the truth. We have to stop being so busy that we take a 20 second sound bite as the truth, and follow every word that our favorite media person utters. Remember, they want you to keep listening, it makes the advertisers happy. Turn off CNN and watch more CSPAN. Ignore the Rachels and Rushs of the world and listen to the politicians. And..remember what they have said from one campaign to the next. Google is a wonderful tool for tracing back to the last speech.

I will vote for an American, who has a God-fearing heart. That should take care of all of America's problems.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

WELL THE TRUTH IS COMING OUT ABOUT YOUR WONDERFUL LEADER! It is sad to see a grown man LIE to his country to save his JOB! 4 dead and it is about a MOVIE! LOL RIght. More to come out but the loyal liberals will never see it. Funny how it was BAD INTELL that kept him from sending in the Marines and people got killed yet, it was the SAME BAD INTELL that Bush got about the WMD and 10 years later you still want to crucify the man. Same problem different standards. R....I....G....H....T!

Here's a chilling thought. Remember how before 911, al quada had a lot of dry runs justs to see how we would handle it? Clinton treated all of them as crimes, not acts of war. I saw just after this assassination on our Ambassador how this president handles it. I also saw how Romney handled it. He did not apologize for the movie but defended the person's right to do it, stating that all of our citizens have constitutional rights. I wish we had someone who understood our enemies. They see it as a sign of weakness when we apologize. It is a part of their culture. Our culture sees it as a sign of being a bigger person, but they don't. I want someone who will stand up for us, not apologize. I've already seen a few articles done by muslim writers that say that very thing, thatto them it is an admission of guilt. They know how they operate. What scares me, is, will obama run for shelter and let the rest of us fend for ourselves? His character has shown that in the past year.
David, it appears that praying for him has not changed his heart. We are commanded to do so. We can be obedient to that while still paying attention to what's going on around us. Apostle Paul, I'm sure, prayed for the leaders in the book of Acts, but he also criticized what they did. They needed to hear the truth. And i know I will be criticized fopr mentioning that we have enemies across the pond, but in the bible, they prepared for war and knew their enemy. In fact, there is scripture to that as well.

Jim S. - that sounds like a great plan. That's the way people should be discussing these issues on here. I had a boss once who said, "Don't come into my office and tell me what's wrong around here." Then he added, "But, if you do, you'd better have a plan of action in your hand. Then, we'll sit down and talk".

Jim Stephenson, I wish everyone on here would come to the table with a solution in their hands instead of calling names and crucifying someone when they dare to mention things that are true. Some of the words that Cynthia mentioned came from the mouths of democrats so I wish the pot stirrers would stop calling her a racist - that was a quote-from a democrat. Her point was that they say these things yet the accusers don't call out their own.
Anyway, I used to work for a boss that said, "Don't come to me and tell me everything that you think is wrong around here. I won't listen. However, if you come to me with a problem and have a plan of action in your hand, then we can talk". And sure enough, there were those that continued to stir up trouble around there, griping and groaning about every little thing, But then there was me, in his office, talking about some ideas to make it better. I'm a good employee- lol. I had a vision like he did for that program, and we ended up beig one of the best. I just wish people would sit down at the table (and on forums like this) and do that. It makes sense that our gov't. needs to stop making it difficult to have a business in our country. In 2012, I'd like to see that change. Businesses create jobs. Working people create revenue to the gov't., and stimulate the economy. It's simple economics. But one side screams when that is said because their side didn't say it, but would admit it if their side did. Childish is what it is.

Ahh! lets face it, it you don't like the comments of another person the best way to show your distain is to call them a RACIST! I am over that! There is a black in the White House, black colleges, black movie stars making millions, black prime time reporters, and TV talk show leaders (Oprah, Michael Straehan, Jim Brown and hundreds more) so what is it about being black that is still bothersom. Others in the black race have decided to stop listening to the "The MAN has us down!" talk from black leaders & went ahead & worked hard like other Americans have and they have their life right where they dreamed it could be. It is a person's personal drive that make a person successful. It seem strange to me that those from south of the border, steal into this country, don't speak the language, work 7 days a week at low paying jobs, teach their children that education is the way out, & within ONE generation they own their own businesses, homes, cars and are sending their children to college. I no longer have any pity for those that want to cry "Racist" and "Foul" for still being on the government teat for generation after generation. You either want a quality life and are willing to work for it or you have personal weaknesses that you allow to keep you in a place of weakness. It is time to get off the government teat and become a man or woman and control your destiny. But lets face it Obama is trying his best to load up the system with persons of weak character 4 votes!
