Agreed Obama has done a good job given all the opposition against him. He made a huge mistake in getting involved in the ME. We have to learn to leave these guys to sort out their own countries or kill each other. Debt is due to too low taxes and too much spending. Both could be fixed, will you pay more in taxes? The US cannot cut enough to keep them as low as they are, it's the best part of trickle down.

Clearly you are right. The economy got better under Obama, wages went up, and unemployment went down, and clearly we don't want more of that.
Those facts haven't put more food on 50% of Americans tables. And that's what you refuse to accept.
