YES. Let all Repubs say it again, in chorus and loudly: WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT VAGINAS. IGNORE ALL THE BILLS WE ARE WORKING ON. i KNOW they have the word "menstruation" in them 57 times but really, Repubs DO NOT CARE ABOUT VAGINAS.

I know. Also, Obama inherited economic crisis from Bush who left the country in ruins.

Saying that Obama is responsible for the current economic crisis is like saying that a captain that agreed to pilot the Titanic AFTER it hit the ice berg is at fault for the disaster.

The Bush tax cuts and wars are the biggest contributors to the deficit. No way do I want Republicans in charge of this country!

And they argue that the best way to fix the sinking boat is to bring back the team that hit the iceberg.

Amazing how on one hand, conservatives point to Obama's inexperience, but on the other, they accuse HIM of ruinning Illinois' economy?

Ahhh...the irony...

Illinois has had both Democrat and Republican governments. The corruption involves both sides. Whoever is in power loots the place and uses government bennies to reward cronies. One person isn't going to fix it.

I'm not ready to vote for an administration that would put Condi Rice in charge of foreign policy again. She was a disaster.

I am curious as to why no one looks at Obama's past economic experience while leading his state and can't draw parallels to his failure to economically lead this country.

Further more the policies enacted in Illinois while he was there are now failing! What makes you think his current policies enacted for the entire country will NOT fail as well?

Ugh. Get your head out of the sand. Obama inherited the economic ruins from a "president" who started a needless war over oil! Trillions of dollars (not to mention the lost lives and limbs suffered) have been spent on a farse war. This economic situation may now be so bad that is not fixable.

I know it's been said multiple times but OP seems stunningly ignorant of the difference between what a US Senator does and what a governor does. OP, governors run States in collaboration with their State legislatures. US Senators aren't responsible for the State budget.

Get a clue, OP!
