Obama years.
& I'm in private industry.

So far 1 for Bush- work for self/privet co. 1 for Obama- Self/ Private co. and one for same- self/private co.

my stepdad hates Obama and thinks his reelection is the end of the country

the past 2 years, his corporate employer has handed out 100% bonuses at the end of each year

100%!

But Obama has ruined everything.

Gimme Clinton.

I'd argue this has nothing to with the president and everything to do with the "evil greedy fat cats" running the business, making the right decisions and seizing opportunities when presented to grow the business.

No change for me, I am responsible for creating my lifestyle and it's no one else's fault if I fail.

More or less this.

I also live in California, the worst governed state in the nation, so it doesn't really matter who's in office, it's rough going. Even for a (more or less) one man search engine geek.

Haha, I live in TX, so I am also (somewhat) insulated who's running the country, we pretty much have our own economy. I, though, don't have the social safety nets to fall back on here... the flip side is TX provides much more opportunity when compared to the blue state I lived in up north.

What are safety nets?

I keep hearing how we have lavish social programs out here, but I've seen little money go to people who actually contribute, and far too much going to the stereotypical lazy minority.

I'm looking to relocate back to Texas or maybe up into the Seattle area. Austin and Seattle have a lot of nerds who do the stuff I do. Second and third only to the Silicon Valley area, but I'm ready to get back to real 'merica and out of the People's Republic.

I haven't been to Chuck E Cheese since Obama took office.

I have, for a one year old's birthday party.

I got incredibly drunk. The next week at his somewhat late baptism, I got incredibly drunk again.

I guess things are a little better with Obama in office since I never got shitfaced at first birthdays or baptisms during Dubya's reign.

Fuuuuuuuuuck.

I haven't had to pay for an abortion since Obama was elected, so I'm up $450 more or less.

A brave man to go there and not be a parent.

exactly why I got so shitfaced nigger. It's the only way.

I recently got a great deal on the DC Direct Green Lantern Batman figure I've been wanting for years. So, like...yeah...Obama & what have you.

I was better off during the Bush years, or I'm worse off now, depending on how you look at it, through absolutely nobody's doing but my own.

Something changed?

I make more money during the Obama era: my doing
I am less healthy during the Obama era: mostly my doing
My home is worth a lot less now than it was during the Bush era: ACORN and Barney's doing

I don't like The Obama at all, but blaming him for one's piss poor quality of life is silly. No one's doing but their own, I heartily concur.

I'd expand the typical lazy minority to include bailed out banksters in NYC, gubmint employees who were the focus of O's giant stimulus and are minions of the Dumbocrat party, and the multi-millionaires and billionaires in business who rape the people with the tax "incentives" they extortionated from all levels of gubmint.

I like to have a broad base of hate.

Yeah, we do the union thing like nobody else out here. Almost every municipality out here is at risk of going bust over their union obligations.

Stockton is, or was, trying to get out of paying creditors so they can pay their unions instead. Because that's how it's supposed to work. Of course... Stockton is an amazing place to go, a wonderful place to raise your family, and the kind of place where sensible people would love to invest to help them get back on their feet again. That is, if you like Mexicans, Pakis, shwoogies and assorted white trash.

Hush now. Someone might begin to expect something.

They're both worthless, pandering whores.
