Also in case you missed it, despite all the ridiculous refusal to work with him, Obama has cut the deficit down dramatically, has unemployment lower than even Reagan managed to get it, and the stock market is hitting record highs. He's not the perfect president--far from it--but I severely doubt that McCain or Romney would've done better.
And really, if you're a low income person of any race, or a woman, or a gay person, or anyone who isn't white, male, Christian and making less than 250K/year--why on earth would you have voted for McCain or Romney? Their policies go completely against your own interests.
The amount of blatant, unbridled racism in this thread is unbelievable to me.

Hmm... agree with you on a lot of this, but Obama has cut the deficit only from the astronomical levels he brought it to. It's still higher than when he started (although not on a per capita basis). He had an extremely tough economic time to take over, but I wouldn't credit him with any kind of deficit or debt reduction.
