Are people in this county totally clueless about all the things that HAVEN'T happened to [View all]

them because of Obama stepping in and doing something?

Just saw the post about a Gallup poll giving all the swing states he won to the GOP if the election were held today. He'd still get the popular vote, but the electoral college math would give the win to the GOP.

I understand that if the economy is bad, the person in charge usually gets the hook -- people don't look beyond that (or at HOW we got to that point) but damn!

If this continues to trend this way I pray for a third party/Republican-ish candidate like Trump or, as someone suggested, Ron Paul, to water down the Republican ticket.

This really bums me out -- and makes me so angry at people who aren't paying attention!
