Republicans have no plans to fix the mess

I'd like to think Republicans could fix the mess in our United States that they say needs fixing. They don't have an idea, let alone a plan.

As I see the picture, all Americans like young people going to college. People on welfare, food stamps and poor people will suffer big time because the Republicans say get out there, get richer and richer, just like we did.

I'd say it takes six months for a sitting president to get his feet firmly grounded once in the White House. Americans will wait for that. If you don't like a black president, that's tough. He needs to stay there, get things going. He has done many good things, and you don't want to give him credit.

Well, let me say that in the past two months he has come out swinging good, so you better look at what he is doing. He has said, and this is truth, he is not perfect and he makes mistakes, but he is doing much better.

People, if Republicans get elected we will have war right here in our United States. Things will be rough. I say bury the hatchet, bring stability, bring peace before it's too late. I am for neither party, but I see a terrible situation in the future after November's elections.

You obviously have not been paying attention to what this administration has been doing (only to what the president has been saying). You obviously are looking at the color of his skin rather than what policies he has put in place. If you were anywhere close to being objective with your thoughts you would not be expressing these distorted views. If you adhered to what God has put forth in his words, you and many other shallow thinkers like you would not even come close to supporting this president's views for running this country. You really need to pay more attention to what is being done rather than what he is saying. Look at the socialist people that he has hired and readily admitted to putting into administrative positions. Look at his recent decisions with approving gay marriages and obortions. Look at how this president and the Justice Dept. has turned their backs on supporting the constitution for voting irregularities. He took an oath to support the constitution of the U.S. and has failed on many accounts. You are not a psychic, so stop trying to pretend you know there would be a war right here in the U.S. The only war we have here is with trying to stop this current administration from taking away more of the hard fought for freedoms by our brave men and women in the military.
