Conservatives couldn't ask for a better President than Obama!!!

Democratic presidents do badly in the polls when they act more like republicans than democrats in office.Wall Strreet lost a trillion dollars in investments that prompted Bush to use another trillion in tax payer loans to come to their rescue and as Bush would have done Obama continued that policy.The Obama Administration tried to ignite the economy by creating the Stimulas Package. Another  conservative solution that failed mostly due to the fact that GOP Governors used the it to supplement their lost revenues from the tax breaks to Big Businesses.Obama re-signed the Bush Tax Breaks to the weathly,that at the same time,included legislation to cut off 75% of those that were receiving unemployment benefits that so many conservative media pudits were for.The Limbaughs,Becks,Millers,Fox Media and others were saying "Yeah,If I were in charge thats the first thing I would do,that would show them who's boss.That will get those Lazy Americans off their butts"and yet still the unemployment numbers are high.So many small businesses can't get loans to meet payroll,hire new workers,or invest in America from the bailed out banks which had no problems asking Americans for loans to stay in business and give out bonuses to reward failure.What kind of message does that send to todays youth? The wealthy have reaped in big profits from outsourcing of America's manufactoring sector overseas for cheap labor.The only thing that will create jobs here are a return to tough embargoes,quotas,tariffs,and fair trade agreements.Offering low paying jobs at Walmart and giving more tax breaks to the wealthy just isn't working.The most profitable countries in the world do well when they protect their phisical and financial borders and America has done a dismal job of both.

Clinton (because of the Republican House and Senate, of course) was far more of a Conservative when it came to economics than either Bush or Obama.

Now, I can tell from your description (almost unreadable at points, but I managed) that you do not like Classically Liberal economics. You prefer regulation, tariffs, minimum wage, etc.

I will say that it may be the nice "now children, remember to share" mentality, but I don't see any credible evidence to say that it can actually save this country from the economic down turn (created by big government).

The solution is to hack away at government itself. No more legislation that favors one corporation over another. No more legislation that limits our civil liberties. No more legislation in general (we need a little bit, but we can get rid of most of it).

That's just my opinion. Who knows, maybe big government tied in with corporatism is a good thing... easier to control.

Big Government like NAFTA.Sure Clinton passed it but,it was supported by conservatives and was just another conservative idea.It was supported by Big Business.Corporatism does run our government.There is nothing that corporations through our elected politicians that they don't legislate.There are more corporate lobbyists in Washington DC than ever.Obama is set to raise a billion dolars for his re-elction bid.If Big Bussiness is footing most of it don't you think that it will affect any bill that he signs that pertains to those Corporations.

Too bad he was more liberal with his private affairs.

I gave up after the third line. I admire your perseverance.

No more legislation in general (we need a little bit, but we can get rid of most of it).

Too bad Obama is very arrogant and permanently to his personal beliefs.

Defence,We don't need to spend huge chunks of our GNP on defending every part of the world.While the rest of the world is passing us by economicaly we're stuck spending trillions more on rebuilding every country that we destroyed.We never had a problem when real Americans ran the government but,we stuck with the wealthy controling our own politicians the way that they see fit.
