and you just said it yourself.. "What he said doom and gloom..."

what do you not get? he's the president of the USA. He's the Commander in Chief. He's a leader. As a leader, you don't go around telling everyone how horrible everything is and how its only going to get worse.... anymore than a football coach walks into the locker room at 1/2 time and tells the team they're gonna loose. One would think thats just common sense.

What you do and say to get elected is fine. Everything is fair game. The whole point of the campaign is to make the other guy look like an asshole and make the other party look like assholes. But fuck man... once you got it.. .why the fuck would you use your amazing gift for speaking to tell everyone they're totally fucked and its gonna get worse? I honestly fail to see how someone can defend that, regardless of the party or who they support.
