When Clinton was president, he raised taxes and wiped out the debt. The US economy was very strong and the value of the US dollar was high.

When bush came in, he gave huge tax breaks to the wealthy and removed taxes completely from big oil, GE, etc. He also started a war against a country who was not your enemy, de regulated the banks, and drove the US into severe debt. By the time he was finally out, the US was falling into recession and over 700,000 jobs were being lost every single month.

Besides Kill Bin Ladden, Obama pulled the economy back from the brink of disaster returned socialized medicine, and hundreds of other things, all WITHOUT the help from the fuckers in the GOP.

The GOP's agenda is very clear : Get Obama out, no matter what. They don't give a damn about what happens to your country or even the world. They just want Obama.

It is really, really sad what is happening to your country. There is shit everywhere you look. The GOP wants poor people to get poorer, sick people to get sicker. They are trying to steal votes, ruin the environment, etc. Just ... everything...

You need to see things from an outsides point of view. We Canadians, Brits and the rest of the world are all watching what is going on in your country very closely and we are awash in stunned disbelief. We are watching your country, as beautiful as it is, fall apart right before our eyes.

President Obama is not perfect, no one is. But from our point of view he seems like he is the only one who actually cares about his country.
