His greatest legacy when everything is said and done will be the fact that he's added $4 trillion USD in debt to our country, and could easily be much higher if he remains in office.

That will do more to damage the US and world than any sort of military or economic policy. It WILL cause our country to collapse, because neither side will fix it, just like Obama.

You think someone else will do better? I think maybe MCain or Hilary could have told them what is up, but they are not running this time around. All we are getting is more elite Rich who do not actually care about anything but themselves just like Bush Jr. That goes double for Romney.

Do I think someone else would do better? Absolutely.

I am voting for Gary Johnson. He is a vastly superior candidate to Mitt or Obama, and has an actual record to run off of - something neither Obama or Romney have. He actually was a governor of a state that created jobs. He has a modicum of intelligence as to how to lead and work with the corrupt politicians to get things done. He left his state with a $1 billion USD surplus, less government jobs, more private sector jobs, and one of the best approval ratings of anyone leaving their state as governor.

There are many other people that would be better than Mitt or Obama, but Johnson is the one that I can, and will, vote for this election cycle. To fix this country, to really fix it, we need a smaller government that does not burden the populace with insane levels of debt like Greece, and one that is small enough that it cannot show favoritism to big business or other interest groups, because the government no longer has the power to make life a living hell for people that can't lobby for subsidies or favorable regulations.

That is a state. This is President of the United States. More Corruption and more powerful groups and people involved to keep him from doing anything. Probably why he will not win. If he did win, his impact would not be felt much. Bush Succeeded because he gave the poor something to keep their minds off of all the greedy, horrible stuff that was going on in Washington D.C. Oh Yay! 200 extra dollars from the tax credit. Bush is wonderful. Meanwhile he ran us into the ground, and then Obama came and rammed us into the ground again. Just what the rich and powerful want. They do not care about this country or anything else.

I am not decided on who I will vote for yet. But it will be either Johnson or Obama.

I realize that some of that may be exaggerated, but probably mostly true. Powerful people and special interest groups and the rich of the world can turn a blind eye on States to keep people happy, but they will not allow too much change in the White House. Especially if it does not suit their interests. I hope that America being strong is what they want, but if it is not then it will not happen. There is no reason that we should be this far in a hole with the debt. Why does China and the rest of the world basically own America? Rediculous to me!

I finally found something that Obama has done! Healthy America = Healthier World.

The economy added 532,000 manufacturing jobs since Jan 2010 – the strongest growth for any 30-month period in 23 years. http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/08/03/employment-situation-july?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+whitehouse%2Fblog44+%28%40blog44%3A+White+House.gov+Blog+Feed%29

1. As a governor, you have experience working with state legislatures to pass budgets, adopt policies, and promote growth. You essentially fill all the roles of a president, but at a smaller level. That kind of experience, IMO, and how well you did, is far more telling of a person than most other types of experience - especially being a senator for two years.

2. If you had no qualms with being unelectable for a 2nd term, but really care about doing the right thing, you can pull the kind of things needed to get things done in Washington. It just means you won't have corporate backers, just like Ron Paul. Again, Gary got things done despite the fact that most Democrats and Republicans hated him. He took his case to the people, and made the politicians responsible. It can be done, but you have to choose not to cave in. Bush and Obama have an atrocious track record on that. Both fold like paper to interest groups, regardless of whom they were.
