I am going with NOBAMA on this for sure. I work in the oil and gas business (primarily natural gas) and ever since Obama was elected, our business has gone down steadily. He claimed natural gas was the wave of the future, the energy source of tomorrow, but natural gas prices have fallen from $7-$8 pmcf to about $2-$3. If the price of gas doesn't rise soon, several jobs will be lost and companies will be forced to shut down or sell out (another socialist scenario possibly, government controlled energy sources?) His campaign was modeled around change, but the only change I see is a negative one....so far anyways.
I feel for you here bruv.
Personally being from England i don't know enough about whats going on in the US to pass judgement. The thing i dislike is the ongoing war in the Middle East which seems to have no ending and no solution at the moment. More and more English and American troops are sent out to risk their lives and with little improvements to the situation from 3 years ago.
I would like to see Obama addressing this point, with Gordon Brown and the PM of Pakistan and the surrounding areas to look to remove our troops from these areas and pass the burdon onto their governments to resolve the problem. In my opinion this should be top of the agenda for Obama....
