Three reasons to vote for Obama

Actually, feel free to add as many as you like.

1. He has made progress with the economy. Instead of losing jobs, we're gaining them.
2. Has been Al Qaeda's worst enemy. Osama Bin Laden and a host of Al Qaeda operatives have been brought to justice, which ain't bad for a terrorist sympathizer who's middle name is Hussein and pals around with terrorists.
3. He has taken measures to help average Americans financially: reduced income taxes for the Middle-Class, stopped banks from arbitrarily raising interest on past credit card purchases, stopped banks from authorizing gotcha point of sale debit card purchases by authorizing payment for money they know isn't your account just so they can charge you the $35 nsf fee, refused to allow GOP plans to double interest rates on student loans.

Bonus: An act of protest to show the HIGHLY influential pundits, bloggers and even some candidates how deeply offended I am by their decisive tactics that often have deliberately enticed racial animosity.

- The birther movement
- The he's only half black campaign
- The vilification of Shirley Sherrod
- After school fights on buses were caused by Obama being in the Whitehouse because as we see on the camera phone video the black kid beat up the white kid
- The rescue of Capt. Richard Phillips who had been taken hostage by Somali pirates was "just Obama killing a few black teenagers" campaign
- An entire list of double standards they hold President Obama to.

Click to expand...

1. His "progress" is the worst progress from any recession in history...and has cost much, much more. If he had his way, we would be in even more debt with little more progress to show for it.

2. He did nothing more than what Bush set into motion...so I guess he DOES deserve credit for not screwing the pooch. But that's about it.

3. While he threw the middle class a temporary bone (it's going to end here...real soon) he's set in place the biggest middle class tax hike to hit in 2013 (Obamacare). We would have been better off if he just left things alone. Regarding the banking regs, perhaps it's just me, but I've always had my eye out for the things he "stopped" and never got hurt from them. But hey, there are those who NEED Nanny Government to protect them. Oh, and the government shouldn't be in the student loan business in the first place.

I could swear some of these threads are multiplying, giving babies and reproducing themselves.

I'll play along:

1. He's been a bigger advocate for equalizing rights for gay citizens than most presidents (or legislators) in recent history.
2. He's had at least SOME focus on improving education (to be fair, however, I feel like we're still woefully inadequate in this regard).
3. More deportations of illegal immigrants under his presidency.
