I am only "blue" when I hear or read about natural disasters that are so overwhelming that you feel the need to do something good or lend a helping hand. Politics is a game that is rigged. It will take the USA more than a lifetime to right itself, not economically, but its ethical and moral behavior. There is no integrity in America for now.

President Obama surprised a few people during a news conference Thursday by claiming that the 2011 decision to withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq, a politically popular move on the eve of an election year, was made entirely by his Iraqi counterpart. The implication ran counter to a number of claims that Obama has made in the past, most notably during a tight campaign season two years ago, when he suggested that it was his decision to leave Iraq and end an unpopular war.

After four years living in New York City, Obama moved to Chicago to work as a community organizer.

Straight from the horse's mouth, Barack Obama often cites his time as a community organizer as one of the experiences that qualifies him to be POTUS. "I can bring this country together,"... "I have a track record, starting from the days I moved to Chicago as a community organizer."
How's that bringing the country together thing working out?
I believe the United States is more divided now than anytime since the Civil War.
Are you sure you want to give me the last word, maybe you could sing us a song? Perhaps some Blues would be in order this time. What's that you say, you need more inspiration?
How about this: NBC News / Wall Street Journal poll "found a majority, 54 percent, no longer believes that Obama is able to lead the country and get the job done."..."I mean, essentially the public is saying your presidency is over," Chuck Todd of NBC said on "Morning Joe."
That's NBC Dude, that should inspire some Blues.

To your question, many financial investments don't create jobs.
Like when a billionaire parks his money in an established company's stock like Exxon, Walmart or Procter & Gamble, and collects basically "free money" on which he pays as little as 20% tax. Only a sucker thinks that allowing such a tax break for a billionaire is smart economic policy.

"Community Organizer". Who came up with that, Donald Trump, the used car salesman? For me, he has always been the President. I know that is hard for you to swallow, its been a choking 6 plus years.
As usual, I will give you the last words. Otherwise, they drag on with no end in sight.

Cheney is a super smart guy, definitely president material. If only he would use his talents for the betterment of the US and humankind. He has no conscience, unlike Bush, who is now trying to forgive himself for all the wasted lives under his watch. Painting, gardening, road biking, all such good healing therapies.
Your useless community organizer was amongst the legislators who vote nay. But you already knew that.

Don't try to put words in my mouth I never called alternative energy un-american, did you pull that out of your ass? And when did alternative energy become cheaper than fossil fuel energy? (although it will be if the out of control EPA has its way.) I assure you when alternative energy becomes available and cheaper than fossil fuel Americans will buy it. But we absolutely don't have the ability to replace fossil fuel energy at this time. Would you have us sit in the fucking dark until we do have that ability? I guess you would also have us believe Obama and his boys are not "of the mindset to loot the system", can you say Solyndra?
The United States could be energy independent by now if Obama hadn't pissed away our time and money on alternative energy pipe dreams. We should have been converting everything possible to natural gas and we should have built offshore LNG loading facilities and LNG carriers. Just think what LNG along with the Keystone Pipeline would do for our economy, Russia knows how to play the game and now they have a pretty good hold on the balls of Europe. We could very easily tell the middle east to stick their oil up their ass, but Obama has refused to get onboard.
There was a time that I supported fighting for oil but not now, things have changed and we now have the technology and the resources to be energy independent, and I do not support sending troops back to Iraq.
You act as if Cheney got us in the Iraq war all by himself, do I need to remind you that Bush had bipartisan support for going into Iraq.
Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Dianne Feinstein, and Chuck Schumer just to name a few Democrats who voted for the Iraq Resolution authorizing military action against Iraq.
