9) Wrong
Seriously, get your head out of your ass, you seem to be judging an entire group of people based on the actions of a small group of "Christians" who call themselves such but really aren't. You are literally judging an entire religion based on the actions of people who are not actually a part of it, no real Christian is like that.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.

Maybe I'm stupid, but Bush didn't have to deal with one of the biggest recessions in recent times. You could argue that Obama spent the money in the wrong way, but you can not compare the debt he added to Bush because Bush didn't really have a major economic recession to deal with(not for long at least).
So, Obama came into power when the US was involved in two wars and had just been hit by a major economic recession, Bush came into power with budget surpluses, started two full scale wars and did not really have to deal with the economic recession to nearly the same degree as Obama.
Obama could have left the banks and GM etc untouched, had them crash and burn but that to would have hurt the american economy(and the rest of the world) as well, lots of jobs would have been lost etc.
So when it comes to debt, comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges as they say. That being said Obama is not without fault, he's kind of a disappoinment to me(I had high hopes)and he rolled over for the big shots on wallstreet far too much, but thats not necessarily Obama's fault, thats the fault of the system that is in place in the US.
I got a couple of problems with the US political system
Special interests in the US got far too much influence, the electoral college and the fact that it's only really two parties to choose among, I also think it's quite sad that the voter turnout in the US is so awfully low but that comes as a result of the above mentioned problems. Voter turnout is a good indication that something is wrong imo, it's your chance to effect the way your country is run and that should be important to everyone.
In the 2008 election 63% turned out to Vote in the US presidential election, it blows my mind. The US got a lower voter turnout then India for example, where a considerable amount of people are still illiterate.
Something needs to be done about it imo.
The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
Biased poll is biased.
Where's the Ron Paul option or a not supporting any of them option?
No, he just had to deal with the collapse of the Twin Towers, attack on the Pentagon, and crash site in PA, nothing major. Katarina, Isabel, know I'm forgetting something else but meh. Bush inherited problems from pussy footing Clinton, who got them from Bush I, who got them from Reagan, who got them from Carter, etc. Put more to blame on Carter than anyone else is recent memory, banning of assassinations by Americans (but you bet we can use Mossad or GSG9 or GIGN or MI6) to do it, rise of radical Islam and the precious little he did to stem it.
"Oh, wretched ephemeral race, children of chance and misery, why do you compel me to tell you what it would be more expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach; not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is --- to die soon." Silenus
He's a Mormon. That should really be enough. He believes Jesus descended 200 (or something like that) years ago in Missouri and told a known con who committed 50 offenses where he can dig up the new Holy book. If i'm also not mistaken, he believes Jesus will return to rule America. One thing i'm sure about is that he posthumously baptized a scientist relative who absolutely hated religion of any kind. He pays 10% of his profits to the Mormon Church ("donates") so he can guarantee entrance to heaven. Yes, you may say Mormons aren't any different than other religions, but no, in the same way Islam is worse than most religions, so is Mormonism. Besides all of that, he seeks to restrict gay rights, secularism, and has openly stated he's an enemy of academic education. If you combine all of that, it's really enough for me to consider him a mentally (or morally) ill person.

Either way the US is just as fucked as it is now. 2 party system where both parties are corporate pawns. Same boat we are in.
Christian right? Hm. I am a lefty pacifist socialist, but according to the standards of Jesus Christ? He would have called me a luke-warm egoist, I could not follow his radical left-wing path. He said clearly that it is easier for a camel to pass through a needle-hole than for a rich man to enter heaven, and that you should give up everything to follow him. No, I am far too moderate, far too centrist to be able to call myself a Christian. He was rightfully executed as a terrorist, and if I wanted to follow him I would not face capital punishment, as that is abandoned here, but would face jail time nevertheless. No, even if I did believe in a personal god, I would not have the guts, the extreme altruism and radical anti-capitalism necessary to call myself a Christian.
