Well, I can state that most of Obama's policies (if not all, but not going to generalize there) are so money intensive that they add to the budget to push it greater than the 20% gross of our nation that was the proposed cap on spending for the longest time. Only two presidents to my knowledge have done this so far: Carter and Obama.

The majority of what he has implemented hasn't even been hitting the budget yet as well.....so in truth things are actually worse than they appear. And un-employment has not been dropped at all.....it has actually increased. The only problem is that they do their tracking by those who are currently filing for Unemployment.....and this is so because you can't file after around 63 weeks on average. Thus, there are actually more people than are being reported by agencies.

And actually, he is taxing everyone equally. Granted, for example, 5% of income to the "rich" is less impactful than for those of the middle and lower classes, but it is still equal across the board. Certain tax cuts are in place to encourage businesses to invest in their people, be able to hire more people (thus creating jobs), and offer better benefits on the whole. Another big part of his platform was reducing the federal deficit by capping spending at the 20% of GDP at most, so that we aren't increasing the deficit, and are able to start paying off the debts that we owe.

Why are you surprised at women voting for him? Because he opposes government funded abortions? He opposes that for the same reason that most oppose government healthcare.....because everyone pays for everything....even if they never use it. If you want to opt into it, then go for it, but you will have to pay a slightly higher rate. It's all about choice when it comes down to it. And he stands for what he believes in when it comes to defining when life begins and what marriage is. I might not agree with it, but I can respect the man for standing up for what he believes in.

Taxing the middle class? Any president is going to have to since they make up the majority of this nation. Taxes are going to be there regardless, and no matter what they say, no president can ever get rid of them or there would be no money for government to spend on any program(s).

Putting his state into turmoil? He actually didn't. It was in turmoil when he was elected in 2002....and with what he did, he dropped unemployment and created a vast number of jobs. His business experience shows that he knows how to create, run, and stick to a budget. This is added upon by his experience and results from his time as governor.
