He wasn’t a “bad President,” although some would argue he’s a bad person, he did his job better than most in that office.
He also had a Republican congress for a significant period of time. Congress has the power of the purse. Congress controls spending. This was before Republicans became a bunch of back-stabbing, double-talking spenders, who aren’t really Republicans at all.
We need to stop looking at party affiliations and judging political candidates by their merits. As stated above, Obama loathes the 2nd Amendment, and unbridled prosperity. He wants to redistribute wealth. The Soviet Union called…that doesn’t work. McCain is a riddle wrapped in an anomoly, sprinkled with inconsistency, but he’s not a socialist, and he hasn’t worked to ban guns.
I refuse to vote for either of them, but Obama is the candidate more repugnant to the principles upon which this nation was founded and under which it once prospered.
