Jeffrey Crenshaw A little government lesson for you.  This country was set up to where the federal government had two main jobs, deal with foreign affairs and give US citizens the ability to control governments.  Rights as in free speech, right to bear arms, fair trial, etc. were rights protected by the federal government and the federal government can't use to discriminate or gain in power over the people.  Everything else was left up to the states.  It was set up so people have government involvement but control over it. It was the check and balance of powers so no one entity can ever get too powerful. With that said marriage isn't a federal issue because as we see it does lead to discrimination and power of the federal government over the people.  Marriage should be left up to the states.  I personally find it wrong that married people get tax breaks where people who chose to be single don't.  That is a form of discrimination.  But in short marriage is a state issue and it isn't a right protected by the federal government. The economy has down well under republican presidents.  It was strong during Reagan when he had a democrat congress because he worked well with the other side.  It was strong under Clinton when he had a republican congress because he worked well with the other side.  Bush Jr. worked well with the other side as well.  Granted we did have a republican congress so we didn't progress as well as we should of but we still did well, even after 9/11 and mini recessions that always happen. Under Obama the recession stopped but we haven't progressed.  Unemployment is still high, stocks are high only because the federal government is pumping money in it and keeping stocks low, jobs are not being created and now we have a healthcare bill that is making our system worse.  Here we are 5 years later and we have gotten nowhere.  We are not better off because of Obama because he simply refuses to work with the other side. FDR wasn't great either.  Learn your history and you will see that he did what Hoover was doing.  He prolonged the recession.  What made him better than Obama was that he was at least willing to listen to others and get people to band together to meet a common goal.  That is why when the war started we got out of the recession.  We were not separated in groups like Obama has done to us.  He didn't separate us into blacks or women or rich or poor.  His policies weren't not good but he was great and keeping a positive attitude and not make everyone so angry. Your assumption that democrat presidents lead to strong economies isn't true.  Great leaders do and it is funny how under our sluggish economic times have all been under democrat presidents.  Obama, Carter and FDR.  The thing about Obama is that he is making everyone angry against everyone else.  People are viewing businesses as evil.  He is calling women and minorities inferior to make them angry to buy votes.  We no longer live in the 50s.  Racism is no longer an issue.  Sexism is no longer an issue and people have no problems with gays.  It becomes an issue when people play the victim card and democrats, especially Obama, allows it to happen.  You want to me outline why none of those issue exist?  I will next time.  Right now I have to get to work. But remember, Obama is a poor leader.
