Race in this day and age should not have anything to do with this election, but like all the other lies that both candidates are spewing, they will make it one!!!! The facts are simple, we elected Obama to do a job that for whatever reason he's unable to get it done, therefore he needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, the only viable candidate running against him has his own long and distinguished list of shortcomings, too... There just doesn't seem to be such a thing as a good honest political discussion anymore!!! We're all supposed to be dead set for or against everyone and everything and never even consider listening to what the other side has to say, let alone agree that any of it has any validity. Guess I don't see where anything in this November's election is going to change any of this, and the only thing we have to look forward to is the continued downward spiral of the economy, and more total disregard to the Blue Collar Americans who built the country!!!!! I don't see where anything will change until we get rid of all the thieves and idiots in Congress that are ruining everything. But, I guess it's easier to just blame one person or another, and continue along the same old path of business as usual.......

Don't drag us all in that group! I wasn't part of that. I didn't vote for him due to his socialist views and plans for this country. Like you said, I doubt either choice is better than the other. But I can't stand the thought of Obama in there again. With the drought situation, bad economy, and the political BS, it won't be good.

Actually, the term "we" refers to the entire voting process... Who anyone voted for individually is a matter for them to decide in the privacy of the voting booth. "We elected" is probably an archaic term going back to my 6th grade civics class when Mrs. Scott explained to us that in a democracy, when your candidate loses it is am important part of that democratic process to respect the candidate who was elected, whether he was your choice or not, and to work within the system to bring about legislation that is for the betterment of all, not just a segmented part of the people.

Today, it seems that if I didn't vote for him then it is my duty to abhor everything the "other guy" says or does!!!! Just another indicator of just how badly broken the system really is, I guess......

No matter how you want to word it, or defend it, the system is broken and there is no real key way to fix it. From where I sit, it's not like the little guy can do anything to change it any how. All you can do is hope who ever is elected, doesn't make the mess that much worse. And really, the blame can't be laid solely on that one guy. Plenty of people help make the decisions good or bad.
