1. A direct result of the Affordable Care Act (Obama care). I'm not sure how you can say that doesn't have to do with Obama.

"Coverage for Young Adults: Under the Affordable Care Act, young adults under age 26 can stay on their parent’s health insurance plan until age 26 – a change that has already allowed 3.1 million young adults to get health coverage and given their families peace of mind."

2. I don't know your personal housing situation but we were able to refinance under the Making Homes Affordable program. I thank President Obama for that program.

3. Again, I don't know your personal student loan situatin. I do know that under President Obama's student loan overhaul, payments are capped at 10% of income rather than 15; at 20 years unpaid balances are forgiven as opposed to 25 years and 10 years for pubic service employees.

4. Yes, he really did say to let the auto industry tank; fortunately he isn't the president so that didn't happen.

5. Yes, he really suggested that the foclosure process proceed. Fortunately, again, he was not in power.

6. I understand that his 13% is bigger than mine. Even Warren Buffet, one of the wealthiest men in the country disagrees with the inequity of tax rates.

7. I don't want his religious issues in my government. Yes, I know we all have our beliefs and Presidential power is limited. If I agreed with his politics, I might overlook his personal beliefs, but I don't agree with either.

8. The last was more of joke.
