I don't know how consumer confidence could be at 98 %, when every month manufacturing companies are not making their forecast.  We're still in Iraq, we're still in Afghanistan, Guantanemo is still open, now we are in Syria, these wars are not being funded by any kind of budget process.  And unemployment is only those who are still looking for jobs and doesn't count those who are out of work and have ceased to look for work.  Two friends of mine are insured under the ACA.  They were insured before, but now they have a $4000 deductible.  This doesn't talk about the greater divide between the races.  It doesn't talk about wanting to take in more refugees, when we have homeless veterans, and they can't even get their promised healthcare from the VA.  Obama gave millions of dollars to Africa on his and Michelle's trips over there, and money given to Africa will be siphoned off by corrupt govenrments, and war lords. 

I voted for Obama twice, but I have not seen the change he promised.  Hilary will do nothing more than continue the gridlock that is our Government, who can't even pass a budget to operate our damn govenment.  And Occupy Democrats is nothing more than a loose group of groups with their own axes to grind.  These are the same people who camped out in a park to pickett meetings at the world bank.
