In 2008 Obama campaigned for "Change" What most people don't know is that Obama took this idea from the Socialist radical Saul Alinsky who Obama didn't know personally however he knew Jerry Kellerman who was mentored by Saul Alinsky and taught him the Alinsky way. Most people knew very little about Obama when they voted for him. His idea for Change was a path to Socialism but that is not the change that America thought they were getting. We do need change, we need change from blank check spending and our current path to Socialism back to a fiscally responsive America along with a President who will listen to ideas proposed by the GOP rather than the current "it is my way or the highway" proposals.

It's about time the American people learn that change is not always for the better. Obama is a perfect example. The whole notion of conservatism is starting to make more and more sense to everybody as Obama gets further along with his schemes.

"back to a fiscally responsive America along with a President who will listen to ideas proposed by the GOP"

Yes, we need to get away from those "socialist" ideas and vote GOP.

The same GOP that proposed the Insurance Mandate
The same GOP that proposed Cap and Trade
The same GOP that gave us No Child Left Behind
The same GOP that gave us Medicare part D

Most of you can only recognize "socialistic" idea when they come from someone you don't like.

In reality, what you view as socialism has been practices by every congress and president in your lifetime.

Electing GOP leaders will do nothing to curb "socialism". It will just stop the complaining from those on the right.

Are any of you better off than when Obama took office? Maybe those who received unemployment payments for 99 weeks and didn't even attempt to find work are better rested.

These people are certainly entitled to campaign for and vote for whatever candidate they like.

However, it is depressing that folks seemingly in the "higher education" circles are so totally blind to the irreparable harm their guy has done to our country.

With more than half of our current 15.6 trillion dollar debt the fault of Obama, it is totally irrational to believe that giving him four more years is a good idea.

Enough of the "Saul Alinsky" nonsense. Please. It is ridiculous and insulting to any thinking person. Is this the modern version of the John Birch Society?

An Avenues resident said, "the President's impact on the nation's economy has been underrated. . ." Ya think!!!! I can't imagine how frightening it will be when all the numbers (provided by non-partisan sources) are "in."

Well, as my brother used to say, 'It's your dime.' Of course, it's now 'It's your dollar or more.' I believe they are wasting their time, but it is their time to waste.

I couldn't help but notice that the two people they interviewed were 21 and 24 years old and college students. I'd be really interested to see an interview with someone NOT in a liberal college cocoon.

The first time around, A LOT of people bought the hype without reading the label. I know several who did. People have had three years of buyer's remorse. The only people who believe the hype are people who have not had to experience the full force of this lousy economy. There is NOTHING that I can see that says Barack Obama deserve another term.

As a DN reader in their 60s...
Can't wait to assist President Obama in obtaining a second term in the White House!
