Another 'Enthusiasm Gap': Democrats Enjoying the News a Lot Less

Let us do some math. $13,000,000,000,000.00 (approximately) in debt. Both Dems and Repubs have overspent and overpromised. What is the budget for the Department of Education, how much has it increased over the last 10 years, and have student test scores shown any improvement? Department of Commerce, the only thing I see there as a positve is NOAA. Their weather forecasts are fairly accurate. I would get ready to learn some fix-it skills, as very soon we may have to learn to do it ourselves. Finally, unless the Fed cuts spending, no one will buy our T-notes, because I don't feel the rest of the world will find us a creditable nation. Just my opinion...and, I feel that the "blame game" is useless. If a problem arises, fix it; quit pointing fingers. Remember when you do, at least 4 point back at you.

The US media is really not reporting or journalism, its advocacy or maybe best described as propaganda for political forces. Tood bad, real journalism would serve us well now. But we don't have that.

polls and percentages will not influence the majority. obama will come on top again for another term. thank you

As the old adage goes be careful what you wish for you you just might get it. Well the liberals and moderates got what they wanted,change. The problem was they weren't paying attention to what O'Bama was saying "We are going to fundamentally change America". They are starting to pay attention now and the Dems. are going to be faced woth "change" after Nov. Shame they don't like to hear about what the people really think .

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASKED FOR !!

The Republicans have the following ideas: 1. Spend prudently 2. Fix or repeal the health care bill 3. Incentivize business and individuals with tax cuts which will create jobs 4. Where possible begin to cut back entitlements 5 Stop apologizing to the world about the U.S. 6. Secure the borders 7. Identify terrorists for who and what they are. They have been talking about these points for the last 18 months.

The dems SHOULD ENJOY the news a lot less...because in 7 weeks they will in the street and the cushy job gig is over. And the problem is Mc donalds doesn't pay all that well.

amazing how we forget in 1983, unemployment went up to almost 11%, our biggest spending in 1983 was defense, we were so afraid of the Russians...our economy was in the tank...interest rates in those years were in the 10 percent for a home, and today, we still do not learn from the experience...we let history repeat itself, well Reagan was President and it was not until the 90's that President Clinton got us out of the rut and left office with a surplus budget...only for President Bush to put us in the hole we are in today, only difference in the 80's is we did not have all these multimillion dollar talking heads are as I call them our social prostitutes that spew so much misinformation and divide us even more on our politics...I respected both Bush and Reagan, but lets be realistic and look at the outcomes...so there is a lesson to be learned from this and we have not learned it...as an example the bailout, it was started by President Bush and today we see politicians with amnesia and FIXED NEWS putting this on President Obama, do you not remember when the vote for the bailout that candidate for President McCain came to DC, to vote and was giving Obama crap that he was not interested in issue of the economy...how soon we forget...so it should not be about republicans and democrats..liberal or conservative...it should be about informed americans making informed decisions for the common good of our country and not the interests of the special interest who are our country's biggest challenge today...getting them out of the feeding troft of the american tax payers...

Can anyone tell me one solution that the Republicans have offered to get us out of this mess that they put us in? Of course not; they have no ideas.

Had it not been for Obama and the Dems, we would be in a depression now! Things aren't as great as we had all hoped they would be, but we are a long way from where they would be. If the Republicans should win some seats in November (I don't think they will; most people are too smart for that.), we are in for some real hard times.
