The problems we inherited from Republicans can't be understated.

A failed economy that without the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 would have sent most if not all State budgets into bankruptcy.

The Housing Market is a disaster and we don't know when we will ever see the return of value to the American Dream again.

All our 'good jobs' have been outsourced leaving a virtual void in the USA to reclaim our economy without legislation from the Congress and a President that holds the country in his resolve.

 We have witnessed pure unadulterated greed consume the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Coast of the USA.  Yet with all that our economy remained fairly steady.

We have ended an unnecessary war in Iraq.  The venture into Afghanistan has revealed a deep corruption that has spawned global outrageous with the violence currently besetting the countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan.  If President Obama hadn't recommitted to ending the stronghold of al Qaeda in Afghanistan the truth would still not be known to us.

The government in DC was gutted by the Republicans and had to be refinanced so there could be effectiveness returned to it.  

The war in Mexico was somewhat a surprise to the USA and we had to commit troops of all things.  

President Obama has recommitted the USA to nuclear non-proliferation.

We are re-engaging the Middle East which will bring about change with the help of nation's leaders in the region.  

The strides made on the foreign front can't be equaled by the Bush/Cheney White House.

The country is on a steady path to improvement with Wall Street kicking and screaming all the way, but, we are getting through it and I can't imagine changing in mid-stream is a good idea.  We aren't all that bad off currently from the stand point it could be much, much worse without the majority Democrats that have provided significant change to the nation.

For God Sake, our troops are out of Iraq.  Doesn't that count for something?

I am concerned for my country, for many reasons.  But. Primarily for the reason there are people unqualified seeking power rather than governance.  I've never so worried about the USA.  I sincerely believe people are being frivolous with their decisions for the same of 'throwing out the old to bring in the new' with thoughtless abandon.

The electorate in some states seem to be blind to the manipulation of the propagandists.  I don't know why they seem to believe that being mindless is okay.

There are good ways to make decisions when it comes to election day.  Emotional decisions are rarely good ones when leadership is at stake.

I feel as though Americans need to come home again.
