I see through Obama every time he speaks. Don't tell me you can't... in all honesty.

He's the least opaque politician I've ever seen: he said precisely what he desired to do and has made every reasonable effort to achieve such.
My only displeasure is wishing he had been less reasonable when controlling both houses.

He's saving that for his second term, if he gets one.
And if it's left up to me, he won't.

What liberties have been so bad? Financial break down caused by the regulators skewing markets? Sorry, but the only way is through completely free markets without interference from government.

OK, I waded through most of this. Sure I'm going to vote for Obama after hearing out of Willard's mouth what he aims to do if he gets in.
Maybe you don't care about getting OBL but it is what we have been spending billions of dollars and spilling gallons of blood over. He hasn't put "boots down" anywhere else even with McCain calling him out to the world on it too.
Mittster wants to go attack Iran and start a trade war with China, at least that what came out of his mouth at the IIRC Fox debate I watched online. No thanks...
More corporate welfare and tax cuts for millionaires at the expense of the middle class children's' higher education opportunities and our senior's well being. I just can't get past taking from those who need it and giving to those that don't like we were playing Monopoly or something. No thanks for any of that too...
So how does one get out of a recession three times as fast as one got in anyway? I think we're doing pretty good for going into uncharted territory in this mess.

I have seen how much the GOP really cares for the nation by the way they have and still keep trying to make any attempts of the president fail. Now the SCOTUS might repeal ACA before it has a chance to be embraced by the country when more of it is implemented.
I know the the Democrats will think of the nation and work with the Republicans in the future. But I have seen very little from the Republican party in return for the attempts made at any bi-partisan management of the problems ahead for this country. The few on the right who have tried were attacked and run out of the party.
