People seem to forget what a horrible economy obama inherited. He's a trying to turn things in the right direction. But one term isn't enough to fix everything lol.

Yep. After Bush completely destroyed it, Obama picked it up and created 4.300.000 jobs so far.

Yes, he inherited a terrible economy from President Bush; it was the very same thing he elected to turn it around. And nonsense, he had plenty of time to turn this ailing economy around. Look at President Reagan: he inherited a worldwide recession, and managed to turn it around into a boom economy with record-low inflation and 7.2% unemployment rate (still a high unemployment rate, but slightly lower than he came into office). All in his first office.

As for Obama, yes, he should be credited with creating 4+ million jobs, and less people are on unemployment benefits but we're back where we started on the unemployment rate when he took office at 7.8%. Not to mention, he inherited a $458 billion budget deficit and turn it currently a $1.327 trillion deficit according to thissource, and pledged to cut the deficit in half. So much for that... I'll let him off on the massive growth on the national debt (currently at over $16 trillion) because no president can lower it unlike the deficit.

Anyway, only to Americans, who is going to watch the town hall presidential debates tonight? What were your thoughts on the previous ones this month?

Say what? We are the financial backing of China. If we stop buying from them their economy hits the dirt. China is a clearly dirty, paying their workers poorly, treating them poorly, and even suppressing their economy so that they can keep it that way.

About China: Everyone are being idiots. China is not giving us money in the hopes of one day buying out the United States...

It's investing money in us, so that we use it to improve our economy, and be able to pay China back, plus interest. So if you don't see it already: When people invest in us: 1. We both win when it pays back. 2. It means they trust us to take the money and do good with it to make it grow.

It's a good thing that China is investing in us. Remember: if China succeeds in its goal, we both win, and by proxy, generally so does the rest of the world.

Despite being directly pressured on multiple occasions very specifically, Romney could not answer the basic question, "How do you pay for 20% across the board taxes, unasked 2 trillion dollar increase and continued Bush era tax cuts?" LionPrince, you're on your game. Does Romney have any specific plan for this, and why won't he put it out there if he does?

[Dark Huntress]

Definitely Romney. I mean Barack Obamas had his shot, and he threw it away. At least Romney is a business man and knows how to potentially get us out of our huge economic grave.
