(2,667 posts)I am not gay so your number 1 is of little to no consequence to me. I am not in the military so your number 2 means little to nothing to me. George Bush set the timetable for the end of the war in Iraq, not Obama, and it is a gross exaggeration to say that we have Universal Health Care. As for the economy, it is just like the tides, it comes in and it goes out, independent of the Presidency.
But we have a war in Afghanistan, gun violence rages across the country, elections are stolen with regularity and there is no intervention by the Administration. Bankers rip and rob at will and our intelligence community is out of control. Our infrastructure is crumbling and our education (not to mention our election) system has become a joke.
So much that could be done hasn't been addressed while so many trivial things are blown up out of all rational proportion in order to aggrandize people who rightfully should be thrown out of office.
