I guess. He's way better than the batshit insane republicans, and I don't want to waste my vote on some fringe 3rd party candidate.

Exactly how I feel man. I know the current situation can't be blamed on Obama, yet I'm not exactly pleased by what he's accomplished so far in office.

Good point, try to give some third-party people some momentum. Our two party system is only good at pounding each other in the ass.

There is not a single viable politician in the US that isn't too far right wing.
Then again, I'm judging by the standards of the CPC being right, the LPC being centre-right, and the NDP being centre-left.

I'm not an Obama fan. I don't like his economic policies. I do, however, support a number of his social policy views such as gay marriage and whatnot.
Here's the issue I get: Some of the republicans do understand economics better than Obama ever could hope to. But, they're all batshit crazy bible-bashers who don't like science and who think religion solves all problems (in this nation founded upon Christianity). I understand the need for a strong economic president, but at the same time you shouldn't forego actual intelligence. There's no telling how far this country could be set back in terms of civil liberties and scientific understanding under one of the republicans running.
I just wish there was a candidate who understands economics while also being rational. I can vote in the next election, and I'm actually not sure if I'll be voting. As it stands, I hate them all.

Congress passed some stuff? Can't blame Obama for what they do. I'd wager it was Refucklicans that did it anyway.

I agree to a certain extent, but to compare removing and censoring material that violates copyright to suppressing all speech critical of those in power is silly. America certainly is not the best, but it's no Syria or Iran!

If you think the president has a direct and single-handed effect on the stock market, we really shouldn't be discussing politics. You clearly have no idea about finances or politics.

It has not yet that I know of, it's just put all the laws in place so that it can if it feels like doing so in the future. Well, there was that one thing where some people were going to protest about something in a subway terminal so they shut off all cell signal in the area to suppress the protest like in Tunisia/Libya/Egypt.

That's (possibly) one example. In China people are beaten and imprisoned for criticising the government or Communist Party officials. Torture and "forced disappearances" are routine. If you lived in a country that was anywhere near as bad as the PRC we wouldn't be having this conversation about freedom of expression on the internet.

Right yeah I totally agree, but I was talking about on an internet level, not IRL. Yeah pretty much anywhere is a lot free-er IRL than China.
