Obama Supporters Should Vote Jill Stein (rant)

[A Theist]

....I keep rehasing because you have a hard time understanding that Bush isn't the president right now.

While that may be true, we still haven't undone the policies initiated by Bush. In fact, most of those policies are being championed, or in some cases taken to an extreme, by today's GOP.

If Obama's not your guy then don't vote for him. Vote for Jill Stein. She's closer to your political views.

No, as disillusioned as I am with Obama and the Democrats, the idea of the Republicans in power, especially as crazy extreme as the Republican party has gotten, has me scared out of my mind. If, realistically, the vote came down to Obama vs. Jill Stein, I'd vote for Stein all the way. Thing is, it isn't down to them. Realistically, it's down to Obama and Romney and, yes, I'd much rather Obama win.

Again, it may come as a shock, but Bush isn't the president. Obama's the president....as far as which economy I prefer, I want the one Obama promised. The one he promised to deliver before the end of his 'first' term.

What if you had to choose the economy we had at the end of 8 years of Bill Clinton's presidency, or the economy we had at the end of 8 years of Bush's presidency, which one would you choose there? Remember when we were debating what to do with a budget surplus in 1999? Remember when Clinton was being criticized when gas prices went up to $1.30 a gallon? Do you remember what we were debating in 2008, after 8 years of Bush in office (most of that time congress just rubber stamping whatever he wanted)? We were talking about giant bail outs to the banking industry, massive budget deficits and a recession. That's a big change in 8 years, isn't it? And if the next Republican presidency will be anything like the last one, why on earth would anyone vote for him?

You said it yourself in a previous post that we had "amazing economic growth" under Bill Clinton because Clinton and the Republicans were willing to work together and to make some compromises....

Interestingly enough, the closest to that we've had was the Clinton presidency. While the Republicans were in power most of that time, they were more than willing to make compromises here and there in order to make progress. So Clinton was able to accomplish more of what he wanted than Obama has of what he's wanted and Clinton presided over a period of general peace and amazing economic growth.

You also pointed out that Clinton was able to accomplish more of what he wanted than Obama has. Obama is just one more combatant in Washington. Democrats are deflecting and distracting from Obama's failed promises.
Obama is the current president.
Candidate Obama promised to make changes to cut the national debt in half, cut spending, create 'shovel ready' green jobs.
Obama has done the opposite of what he promised and increased federal spending. Our national debt is now reaching $16 trillion dollars. He now says there no shovel ready jobs and the unemployment rate remains above 8% and the liberals distract and deflect.
Which economy would you prefer? The one we have now or the one that Obama promised?
