How effed up ARE we when we can't appreciate Obama? Well according to Canadians....

54. I hate the result of the midterms

but I think it has to do with many factors:

gerrymandering
flood of money into politics
voter suppression
ISIS/Ebola fear mongering
a hugely uninformed electorate

This article is full of misinformation also:

-Corporate profits at an all time high- at the expense of the rest of us
- 200,000 jobs added per month- these have been part time, low income jobs at the expense of good full time jobs- this is a net figure
-The stock market is fueled by speculation and will crash sooner or later
-We have inflation, although the fed is keeping rates down artificially but prices are rising and wages are not.
-The rich are getting richer- not a good thing.

These are not the reasons to support Obama. I am critical of actions that I think hurt those of us who voted for him. I think it was a mistake to postpone immigration reform and the dems should not have brought up the idea of working with GOP on social sec reform right before the election.

The strategy of running from Obama was a failure because it almost confirmed the crazy view of the GOP.
