get educated

Sorry not going to happen.............

And then (Hillary2016)

10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unrelatable
to Americans.

9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.

8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.

7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!

6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America ?

5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School ... and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.

4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.

3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet.
(How boring is that?)

2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.

1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.

Why Mitt Romney is Unlikable !

A lot is being said in the media about Mitt
Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate well" to people.
Frankly, we struggled to understand why. So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikablility."

Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:

Milton,

Here is an updated version of your top ten list... with a few extras added.

11. If you vote for and elect Mitt Romney and we get into another war with a middle east country for the financial benefit of companies like Raytheon, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Boeing and Lockheed Martin.... if we go to war again with Iran under false pretense that they "could get Nukes", and one of your friends or family die in that war... their blood is on your hands. The people funding Romney's campaign want another war. Many will benefit from it financially. I know many of you don't care, and want to go to war with Iran, but seriously... their blood will be on your hands.

10. Wealth: It's not just pundits who say he cannot relate to ordinary Americans. This guy has NO clue. He can't relate at all. He doesn't like you. He only wants your vote. If he fails to win the election, watch what happens with this guy. If he DOES win the election, watch what happens to you. You will be forgotten (assuming your one of the middle class). You will see the stocks soaring on wall-street because billionaires will be getting richer. That will not trickle down to your pockets. What, a 40 cent raise every year? Think that'll do you good? These CEOs that will benefit from Romney's vision of America will be getting much more than that...

He did NOT earn his money. He got his start because of his Father, who was a Wealthy and very politicized American. I am not sure where you get your facts from, but seriously, if your parents are rich, you are better off and can do more things than someone who does not have the same benefits. Remember his comments about borrowing money from your parents? Think about it... maybe you're one of the lucky ones who can.

9. Mormons: Inside the real cult of Mormonism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6udew9axmdM
This cultish religion is weird and only powerful because of the amount of money they have. Hey, sounds like someone we all know. Mitt Romney is weird and only powerful because of all the money he has.

8. Sons: All were given silver spoons and have been in the public view their entire lives. They have been given everything and did not have the same struggles 99% of the rest of American's have to. This doesn't make them bad people, but when you are given such an opportunity and live with such strict mormon values, the chance of veering off the path to success is probably pretty difficult.

7. Religion: Religion should have no place in government. I know many, many, many, good people who are non-religious. Religion does not equal a "Good" moral structure. I could reference the countless pastors and priests who have raped or fondled little boys. I could reference many murders where it was claimed that God made them do it. People are people, and they will do dumb stuff regardless. Some choose to follow a religion and claim they are good when they are not. If you are a good person, you are a good person, faith or no faith. And stop trying to alienate those who do not believe like you do. We are people with moral values. We just don't believe in what you believe in.

6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America ?

5. Intelligence: If he's so smart, why is he trying to dumb down America with lies? He may be smart, but the people following him blindly are not. He says exactly what YOU want him to hear. Even if Romney gave you a shovel to dig your own grave, you'd gladly take it and smile because Obama never gave you anything.

4. Racism: It is unfortunate that your racist beliefs assume that someone who is cultured and can speak properly to many different types of Americans can be seen as a bad thing.

3. Scandals/Skeletons: Read the news (Not just YOUR news). Mitt is involved with many different scandals. He avoids paying taxes in every way possible. Taxes help contribute to America, and he does everything he can to avoid it. He has his money in foreign economies and could be evading taxes to do so. He refuses to show his full tax forms for the previous 10 years, and his summary that was released is a joke. Romney is nothing but a walking scandal. Your entire party believed it 4 years ago when they wanted McCain and not Romney. They believed it when they wanted anyone but Romney this year during the Primaries. Remember Hermain Cain? Remember Bachman? Remember Santorum? Yes, they were all preferred over this joke. He also lies a lot. But you know this and don't care.

2. Faithful: Is part of a religion that still believes one man can marry multiple women. Has not discredited this.

1. Looks: Superficial and also racist, to choose Romney as President because of his looks would only solidify stupidity.

So, you got served Kool Aid ?

Which of the last two presidents are you referring to, because they both have caused what you are describing. I beleive you could be talking about either of our last two presidents. The excutive branch doesn't operate alone, so remember to blame all the members of Congress as well for both parties. Obama nor Bush are the lone men that created the burden in our country.

I`m considering the candidate that keeps his money in off shore accounts, and refuses to to show tax returns BEFORE he considered running for President. He showed LAST years tax return How much more do the MORONS want? I think we need all WEALTHY Americans to keep thier money off shore, and in another country I MEAN AFTER ALL WHY SHOULD THEY PAY TAXES WHEN THE PEOPLE WHO CAN`T EVEN AFFORD TO VISIT ANOTHER COUNTRY CAN DO IT? COME ON TELL ME WHY !!!!!!!! Ya Jerks

Gary, I agree with you 100 %. I don't see how anyone can look around and see that we are better off. But some will, just because they are Democrats. I was a Dem. for years, as was my father. But if he were alive today, like me I will not vote for another 4 years of this. And if voters have any common since they wont either.

Then pull the trigger and get out of the democratic process.

We have been out of a democratic process on the federal government for years. Do you truly believe it is your vote that elects the president? Read up on the electorial college.

Soon enough, Al DiLa. Soon enough. Mother Nature will take care of that very soon. Better dead than mired in the dystopic land of Stupidia in which you,Al DiLa must be a member of the aristocracy if not the royal family.

Democracy= 2 Wolves and 1 Sheep voting on what's for dinner.

And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands..........my God people, it's in the damn Pledge of Allegiance.

Bye Bye

Ed, yes I did know that about Truman but thank you for reminding me and letting others who may not have known it know about it. This election almost makes me glad I have terminal cancer and won't live to see the end of the term of the clown we elect. Almost. LOL.

George, if what you say is true, have you looked into cancer fighting methods not approved by the criminal FDA cartel??

At least there's one Presidential candidate on the ballot in all 50 states who wouldn't send the Feds to stop you from seeking out alternative methods.........he's not Dr. Ron Paul, but if you guys want real change in DC, you'd look into former NM Governor Gary Johnson.

Take 5 minutes to research Gary Johnson and you will see he is a real American, not one of the people who spent years outside the US. He actually built a business.........ran his state as it should be ran, believes in our Liberties, as well as those in other countries and actually left his state with a surplus...........unlike the other clowns who love Keynesian debt.

Wake up, start thinking for yourselves and quit baaalieving what you are told.

Sam, Isn't it sad that you have to ask if what I said about my cancer was was true? I understand why you asked it but it's too bad we've wound up in that position. Yes it is true. I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer in July 2003. It has since advanced to Stage 4 with metastases to the liver, lungs, and spine (L3). The median survival time is 7 months with a 3% 5-year survival rate. I've made it almost 27 months in a relatively painless state so I guess I can't complain.

I'm very familiar with Gary Johnson and have followed his career since he was governor of NM. If he had a shot in hell, I would probably vote for him. But the gangsters who run the two major parties have rigged the system. It's about as genuine as pro wrestling. Frank Zappa once said that "Politics is the Entertainment Division" of the Military Industrial Complex." He was right more than he knew. It serves the same function for the Walls Street Bankers, health insurance, and Big Pharma.

And yes I have explored alternative forms of fighting cancer. After researching them, I have come to the conclusion that there are so many fraudsters running scams that it makes it next to impossible to find effective methods without bankrupting your survivors. So you're caught between a rock and a hard place.

Thanks for the recommendation though.

Sam, make that diagnosis date July 2010 vice 2003 - Chemo brain.

The Republican House has passed 209 bills and sent them on to the Democratic controlled Senate. Sen Reid has blocked everyone from going on to a debate on the Senate floor. So there goes your argument Ms. Durbin

Perhaps your enthusiasm could pry a budget with more than ONE Dem vote. Please continue to read and reason because this is the turning point of our Country from Capitalism to Redistribution and Socialism.

Which biased media is the basis of what you are referring to. There is biased media for both parties saying the other parties people are the reason nothing is happening. But the same companies are paying for the two major parties to operate. So as you so "politely said" get informed.

Wow, one corporation compared to all the media sources. Do some research on all your major news sources and see where their money is going to. Guess what is shocking Fox News gives money to the Republican Party along with most of the board of Directors, who might they be bais for? Also remember that sources like MSNBC and FOX News according to their own documentation only report 1.5 hours of actual news a day. The rest is opinions. All major new sources are bias to where their money is coming and go to. So I have figured it out for myself.

You're faced with Huffington Post every time you get on line, at 15 hours a day, 7 days a week? 1.) Why don't you change your start page? Duh! 2.) Get a life!

The Senate was not under sufficient Democratic control (60 votes) during President Obama's first term except for the brief period after after Sen Coleman (R-MN) gave up his well-compensated, futile attempt at dragging out the recount and finally allowed Sen, Franken to be installed. After Sen, Kennedy's death, his seat was held by Sen. Brown (R). In addition there were several Senators from Republican states who would not vote with the Democratic party they were elected from. "Complete control of Congress" by Democrats is a myth. Only Republicans always vote according to what their leaders (NRA, Grover Nordquist) tell them to do; Democratic elected officials vote more independently.

Al, your bias is showing. First your assumption that I'm a leftist is laughable at best, ignorance being you know very little about me at worst. I didn't say that give to both parties, you will see that the media covets one party over another. Hence why I used the two extreme examples of Fox News (big Republican Donor) and MSNBC (big Democratic Donor). To point out facts over your opinions, it's a left/right or indifference agrument. It is an intelligent agrument. When doing research you should always concern yourself with the source of your material. Obviously you do not as long as it fits your agrument. The political parties do not work for the people they work for those who are feeding them money. Again it's good business for them to take care of those who feed them.

Passing is a bill is no more meaningful than passing a gall stone.

When the House passes something truly bipartisan, then, and only then, will we have a test of Senate Majority Leader Reid's leadership.

Tell that to the 4 who died in the terrotist strike a few weeks ago, they don't care and neither do we

Problem with your argument is that Bush was the first President to authorize funds for stem cell research and lo and behold. Researchers found that there was a better way than harvesting stem cells from fetuses. And that is what they do today. So you are full of " you know what"

You were never on the fence. The choices were clear.

Tina,

Since you believe that movie directed by the same made who wrote the book ( Dinesh D'Souza) is fact. I hope you do not work in the work place because based on his 2003 book women belong in the home and that feminism is demoralizing and devaluing the natural place of a woman. Also it was America who caused the Terrorist Attacks on 9/11 because of our lifestyle and society (2007 book).

Let us also remember that the author has never met his subject matter. And critics on both sides have agrued facts that prove his opinions wrong and he still looks the other way. It is no more than the Michael Moore Feignheit 9/11 (2004) of this election. Opinions sold as facts based on a bias bigot.

YES IT IS

WE WANT OUR OUNCE GREAT COUNTRY BACK

Nicely put! Obama, but more importantly moderates willing to compromise.

You can not compromise on a bill if it never gets to the floor of the Senate. Reid does not want it to be discussed. So how in the world can you ever have compromise. Perhaps you don't know the way it works. This is the way it goes either body produces a bill then it is discussed and then one or the other comes back with changes then they reach an agreement. But it has to be brought to the floor of both bodies first. Take a civics class .

You should check out the Libertarian Party. Gary Johnson in 2012.

WHAT FLAVOR KOOL AID ARE YOU AND THE LITTLE MRS DRINKING ?

SUCKS

Give me a break with that mumbo jumbo link. That is like saying read Pravda.

Just remember Palm Beach Cty is the shinning star of voter fraud. The Dems control the voting in that county. They gave them millions of dollars in new voting machines and they still were fraudulent in the counts.

OK Al, how about Time or the Tampa Bay Times:

http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/national/firm-hired-by-florida-gop-knew-weeks-ago-of-possibly-fraudulent-voter/1254517

http://swampland.time.com/2012/10/03/did-the-anti-voter-fraud-crusade-undermine-the-gop-in-florida/

I have no idea what your issue was in regards to the source, given that this is a well publicized event.

Romney quote was a pointed piece of reality - that 47% of the electorate will vote Democrat so he won't focus on that group. He was unPC when discussing "the victim", but remember, he is largely correct -- that many Democrats want the government to provide for them. He is not discussing the retiree or veteran (who likely has ample savings to live on, with military pension (for the vet) and savings (for the retiree who made the decision to retire). He was talking about the ObamaPhone lady.

Romney doesn't have vast sums outside the US, but rather a small portion of the trust (which yes, is huge) is invested in funds offshore. This is a wise decision -- since in 2008, there was the chance that the banking system (and banks) and financial system (investment banks) within the US might fail. It is merely a strategy to diversify where his wealth is kept. And it is less than 5%.

Most importantly, Obama's policies are - and will continue - to surpress the economy, because Keynesian philosophy has never worked. All we will see is a continuation of massive spending with no reform to the tax code, SS, medicare, etc.

HLL, Your comment that Romney was not "PC" when he called 47% of America "victims is almost as funny as your defense of him keeping just a "small portion" of his trust offshore. BTW did have you seen his tax returns for the last 7+ years he has been running for President? You apparently are not a retiree or a veteran and clearly not a woman or you would know Gov. Romney only understands other millionaires and has no idea what the rest of Americans struggle to do. "Ample" savings? Try telling that to those whose investments got creamed by President Bush II's tax deregulation and tax cuts for the wealthy.

Hey Pal I am a victim of Obama and I am one of the 47% because people like me who are retired would still like to work but I and many others have to suck off the governments teat. An awful lot of us retired folks would love to work. So Obama keeps us riding on the edge of survival. So we will be beholding to the gov. Romney is right,

You lie you can not ever have been a Republican and you fit right into the mold of a deceitful Democrat.

Here is a prime example of at least part of the 47%.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpAOwJvTOio

HLL what are u talking about the them 47 precent or 99 percent do u really believe you’re not one of "them". The group is about being homeless or not working or even working having to retire due to age issues or sickness. Anyone who thinks they are above this are truly not and listening to this is not a good thing to hear. When one actually wants someone who segregates via age, illness etc.. some of those people is talking about worked, supported this country actually made it a great place until the downslide.. which came with every Republican not just one but each. I understand when people wanted to be Republican because they actually believe they had more because of it. Well thats not true. Republicans have fallen into that 47 percent as well as all. When one is being honest with themselves they can then be honest with each other. And why do you think a man like Romney would be able to provide jobs? Since his only job was to take companies apart and send them overseas??? Yet its like they (Republicans) worship something that isn’t any longer there and I don’t get what one gets out of that?

Perhaps poll allows each "made-up name" to vote. How many are there of you?

Lynda only you would think of doing something like that, a typical liberal mind, the poll goes by ip addresses, once you do the poll you can't do it again, it even says your vote counts only once, so you are out of luck :)

I think this poll is about as accurate the the polls from MSNBC,ABC,FOX NEW, CNN... the only poll that matters is Nov. 6th. Wish they would introduce some of the other candidates to it.

Oh, my; GBOWR is someone whose mind is still in fifth grade writes "ha ha ha right back at you pal ."

Why not, "I'm rubber and you're glue, everything you say bounces off me and sticks to you"?

Well, since you are beyond Palm Harbor (Oooooh!!) please let me know if ALL of Florida equals 270 electoral votes.

Aside from that, Patch is not taking a scientific poll, and they plainly state that GBOWR. Or, did you miss that statement at the lower right of the box containing the Patch poll?

If you want to get an indicator as to what will be the probable result on the morning after November 6th, combine ALL of the scientific polls recently taken; oh dear, Mittens loses!

Hit me with your best shot Commando, your attempt at trying to make me look bad is very laughable cause I hit a nerve :) obviously you don't know much about rubber & glue, when the rubber gets a nail stuck in, it is the glue which patches it so scientifically it is impossible for the glue to bounce off...as for your feeble attempt at thinking that I didn't know about this poll being scientific, once again I prove you wrong, unlike you who reads parts of what's written, I am a very thorough reader & happy in knowledge this poll is not biased like the polls that are posted in CNN, ABC, CBS, Huffington Post, Washington Post, NY Times; this poll is based on actual people from both sides expressing their opinion, which we are all entitled to, as for me predicting the outcome of November 6 none of us are magically able to do that, all remains to be seen, wishing you all the best in your narrow one sided world, may peace be with you :)

Perfectly said, Tony T. Obamafraud was levied on many Americans. Romney Ryan 2012

Glad you came to your senses sir and welcome back to normalcy

oh, please like you have a clue. i'm surprised you can even spell Keynesian. How about Reaganomics? We saw how that ended. Crash!

HLL,
Is your entire knowledge of Keynesian economics the "overspending" agrument you have. Or do you know of the portion of countercyclincal revenues? It is an economic philosophy this country has since the 1930's, but because Obama is using it you have an issue with it. It's basis is government and business working complimentary not as substitues in a Free Market Economy. But how can Obama be a Keynesian and a Socialist? Even Fox News tripped over that a few days ago. As far as reform, it's hard to have reform when the legislative branch doesn't start by creating legislation to create those reforms. I know the agrument he had two years of democratic major which was less than the 60% needed to pass a bill, so bad agrument. The Executive Branch of our government doesn't create legislation that is for Congress, so point your finger where it should be pointed. As far as your last agrument:

"There is not one country/economy that has ever boomed under huge govt control -- the US has been successful in the past because of its freedoms and small govt." Since the 1930's we have had big government, so I guess we haven't been successfull in 80 years. Many countries and economies have big governments and are successful. But I'm sorry, don't let FACTS get in the way of the Propaganda Machine.

1) Removal of Don't Ask, Don't tell 2) Stopped loss of 800,000 jobs per month happening under Pres. Bush II, 3) Signed Lilly Ledbetter Equal pay for women act 4) ObamaCare allows children up to 26 to get health insurance under parents' policy. 5) Ended combat operations in Iraq. 6) date to end combat in Afghanistan 7)will protect Medicare and Medicaid 8)will continue to fight House GOP for money to hire teachers, police, fire fighters 9)won't start a war with Iran "just to do it!". 10) has cut taxes for 95% of Americans and will not raise taxes on middle class. Of course, President Obama actually has a record, has plans and most important is willing to tell voters what those plans are. Gov. Romney? "I can't tell you what my tax policy is because a) you will vote against me b) it is too complicated for voters to understand c) "it would take too long"--Paul Ryan 9-30-12

Or the fact you are doing the same thing that you are accusing others? Accusations with no facts to support.

Voting for Obama means more clean energy, Voting for Romney means more war snce the republicans start a war every time they get in office. So on moral grounds, I must vote for Obama even if that makes me a clueless moron. I can't have any more murdering of children and women on my conscience.

Hey Andrea, wake the fu@k up! Do you realize the current puppet in chief has a kill list??????? Do you not know a 16 year old AMERICAN citizen and his relatives were KILLED BY OBAMA?? Many claim he's a killer, well let him lay claim to this kill. Like his father, Anwar, Abdulrahman didn't receive a trial or a judgement...........Obama spoke.....or should I say the CIA spoke and now a 16 year old American is dead.

Heck, go read the NDAA that was passed by Congress and signed by Obama.............the right to a fair trial is now non-existent according to the criminals in DC. NONE of these Federal politicians care about us..........and they prove it daily.....but since the presstitutes do not tell reveal these truths, most walk around with Stockholm Syndrome, defending the tyrannical oppressors.

Obviously there are a few of us who comment here who get this, but the majority of you need to awaken to reality.

How about ALL the Drone strikes taking place in foreign lands?? Innocent men, women and children...........people like you and I...........are killed under the guise of spreading democracy and freedom. But don't worry, the loving powers-that-be will simply refer to their demise as collateral damage.......no need to worry, go about your business in America.........keep paying your taxes and giving consent to the destruction of families in foreign lands.

How about Egypt and Libya? Have you not seen the aftermath of the "uprising" over there? As with Iraq and now Syria, Christians and Jews are being driven from the lands they have occupied for 2,000 years.................due to America's involvement. MORE PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED IN THAT REGION DUE TO AMERICA'S INVOLVEMENT and you are going to tell me about having deaths on your conscience??????? You obviously do not have a conscience or you choose to ignore the reality of what is occurring since the Nobel Peace prize winning Puppet occupies the White House.

By the way, I would love you to show me how Obama=more clean energy?
Are you not aware of the billion$ in "loans" provided for Brazil and their offshore drilling?

Well those are the choices you can either participate or stand on the side lines. In any case I don't think your vote will be an educated one.

Move to China

As in all political matters especially on the Federal Level. They are two sides of the same coin. They are worth the same, and get the same amount done. People are too divided over issues that don't matter to really look at what the true issues are. It's the political parties and their media machines that work on dividing us, while their other hand is taking advantage of us.

Clearly neither of you are women. Any state legislature taken over by GOP in 2010 spent nearly all its time coming up with laws to regulate bodily functions of women. Then they went on to voter suppression laws. And the House GOP, just what did they spend time on this year? Imposing anti-abortion laws on the District of Columbia and Paul Ryan's co-sponsoring of the "personhood" laws. For women, even those who are pro-fetus, the number of laws regulating our bodies promoted by these old white men is reason enough to vote against the GOP. Todd Akin (legitimate rape doesn't cause pregnancy!) speaks for the Republican platform supported by the Romney/Ryan ticket. So, yes, for 50% of Americans there is difference between the two tickets. Yes, it does matter to women which candidate is elected.

Lynda, are you a parrot?????????

Lynda,
Yes, there are outspoken people, but they are all paid by the same companies. Do you truly believe someone alone in the Excutive Branch is going to able to truly overturn Roe V. Wade on the Federal Level? If you truly want to protect your rights you would be stopping the ground on the legislative level. But again, they are minor issues that truly will only be determined by the Judical Branch of our government. It is just a an issue which they have no control over they use to get the mass up in arms.

Michael D. I love your sensible comments! This one wasn't one of those! Putting in place new laws which regulate women's health care at the county, state and national level is not a minor matter. Women are dying today and will die tomorrow from cancers that could be caught, from complications with pregnancy, from all of the personal, unique to women health care issues as a result of the obstacles to health care access which legislators (at every level) who are primarily old, male and white insist on passing. The platforms of the two national tickets are starkly different as is the political debt owed to women. It will matter to women which national candidate wins. It will also matter to vote for local and state candidates who will support access to health care for women.

Lynda,
I'm not stating that women's rights are a minor manner in the sense that it is a minor thing. I'm saying it is an issue that neither party candidate really will have the power to change, but it is an issue they are trying to run on to get the base excitted. No medical lobbyst is going to allow legislation to stop Roe vs. Wade, Birth control, morning after, etc.. the big pharma lobbyst will not allow such legislation to go throught. It is too much money involved to allow that to change. I have a few friends in the medical lobby that know that it is not in their best interest for such legislation to pass. The only area where Romney (if he is that dumb) would have a chance to make any changes to said legislation would be through Supreme Court nominations. Which he will at least have one and up to 5 with current estimates (lobbyst stats). So I do think it is a minor issue, because the real powers at be will not allow it to happen.

You want to take that chance we already gave this guy a chance. Hey he said it himself. " If I can't do the job in 3 years then I should be replaced". That is what Obama said. All you get is 4 years not eight to turn it around. There has been no progress. Unemployment after a trillion dollars to turn it around is still above 8 %. Little or no GDP. They devalued and printed money like it is going out of style for the 3rd time. I mean what does it take to realize the guy is over his head.

Wow. I didn't even know Jesus was running.

Mr. who?

Why not. If your answer is because he is rich. Then why do you trust Obama he is richer than you. Or Pelosi, very rich. Or Kerry, very very rich, Or Kennedys, richer than rich Or Sen Fienstien the richest of them all. Or supporters of Obama. Why do you trust them? Where is your logic The Democrats are the wealthest in congress as a whole. You think they are pulling for you.... I don't think so...

i agree not at all. his words on tape are his truth.

Can't trust Grace

Dharma, I'am 63 and the only income I have is S.S. Oboma took over 700million of our $ out of SS for Oboma care. That was not right to the people who paid into it for 50 yrs. He will not back up Israel, our only ally in the east. He has never even been there. Oboma wife spent so far over 3 million this yr. on vacations. Yes and that was on the taxpayers also. He is reducing our millitary , yal, that really makes me feel safe. With the whole east on fire. Burning our yes our countries flags. And after our Amb. to Egypt. was killed. He wants to send them 2 billion $, yes taxpayers $. To people who hate us. At the recent U.N. meeting, instead of meeting with other leaders to discuss problems he walked out. Mark mt word, if he is re-elected you will recall this conversation. Cause we as a strong country will be no more.

Mr. Miller,
The $700 Million was redistributed, but if you truly read the Affordable Healthcare Bill and not the propaganda machines on either side. Your money for health care is still there for you. As far as the vacations agrument, no president has taken as many as Bush. $3 million on vacations are what they are, and $3 million doesn't move the needle in a $15.09 trillion dollar company which is the United States. And the U.S. Government revenue stream isn't taxes alone (taxes are less than 50% of the governments revenue). As far as reducing the military, not as much as being said by the media. My industry would be in trouble if that was the case. As far as sending money to Egypt, so did Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan etc... so he is not the only one. I have my problems with Obama, but lets at least fault the man on issues that really matter. These are issues made by the Propaganda Machine.

Hey here is news for you. Bush never had more than 6 percent unemployment. For 7 years. By the way Mr. Clinton left him with no growth for a period of three months prior to his election. By the way do you remember 9/11 soon after Bush took office and you think we are better off. Ha, when Bush was President most people had full time jobs.

You think we are better off. You looked for a job lately? Bush had us working full time. This guy had a trillion dollars to make employment better and all he did was make it worse. He broke every single promise. He will never get it right because " America's Business is Business". You can't make things better by restricting free enterprise

Al,

Do you really need to say By the Way so much? I'm glad you said Bush was only president for 7 years, I guess that means you can remove the final year where it was on average above 6% and where the climb of unemployment started (burea of labor statistics). As we are discussion Clinton unemployment was dropping the last four quarters of Clinton's presidency from 4.3 to 3.9 Dec '00 and Jan '01. So that dig not so much there. What does 9/11 have to do with this agrument, really... nothing. Both Bush and Obama spent trillions of dollars to make the machine work again, both have had successes and failures. I do not blame either for the state we are in when their is a global recession/depression. Just so you understand the facts, which seem to be an issue with you. GLOBAL RECESSION, in a worldeconomy where our boom comes from selling overseas hard to do with a global recession. China and other countries are able to do what we do, cheaper and with in the case of nominal items similar quality. As far as you can't make things better with restricting Free Enterprise I guess Reagan who did just that with this trade tarriffs was wrong as well? I bet not in your book. I believe in Free Trade and Free Enterprise, and Obama hasn't done anything to truly restrict that. The propoganda machine will tell you he has though.

It truly amazes me how ignorant people are of the facts. By cutting taxes you produce more income for the treasury Reagan did that and it ws a boon for Clinton. The first think JFK did was cut taxes. Even he knew. You ever get a job from a poor guy?

What progress I would like to know? Can you name one, I didn't think so. If you think it is better then why 16 trillion in debt, OE3 which means you devalue the dollar for the 3rd time under Obama and more than 8% unemployment and the scrapping of Medicare by taking $716 billion dollars from it. Now what was it you were saying.....

Need I point out that. The five CEOs of the five largest banks are registered Democrats and so is the former CEO of NBC. CBS and Goldman Sachs and who does Obama hang with on Martha's Vinyard The poor smucks. No he hangs out with the Kennedy's . So what do you think they are pulling for you? Kerry a democrat rich as rich can be. Pelosi.a democrat rich beyond your dreams. B.Boxer a dem so very rich. Sen Feinstien a democrat is the richest one in both houses of Congress. Stop it all ready .....

As long as you have liberal left wing democratic judges sitting on the bench you can not have "By the People and for the People". They legislate from the bench. When the people vote for something in a referendum courts like the 9th circut in San Francisco overturn it. In Ct.. the same thing. How about eminent domain.?Taking away peoples property so that they can build a strip mall dosen't seem very democratic to me. Does it to you?

Al,
You are delusional if you think it is only the "liberal left wing" that is removing the personal liberties away from the average citizen. Maybe you should actually start reading the bills being passed and by whom. Because both parties are strip-mining your personal liberties, and have been for over a century.

Chocolate Jesus showed up and we have never been the same

Andrea College
It is odd for you to invoke the name of Gandi and the fact that it his birthday. I would like you to explain what that has to do with "the price of bananas". As far as someone trashing your sign what has that got to do with me or anyone else that has posted here. Are you assuming that the religious right trashed that sign? You know what they say when you " ass u me". I know how you feel and I sympathize with you on the matter of respecting peoples First Amendment rights. I also have had my signs removed and my property trashed by ignorant bullies. I don't know who they are so I will not haphazardly accuse or infer that it was any one person or group of individuals. I think perhaps you are a wolf disguising yourself as a pious person. I think you have some growing up to do.

the only good thing about him is he is leaving in January

There are THREE Americans who are candidates on the November ballot for President: Gary Johnson (Libertarian), Mitt Romney (Republican), and Barack Obama (Democrat).

So, then, you want me to vote for three people, right? Well, that's how many Americans there are, running for that office.

I don't think that is possible Mr Maday.

So, while I admire Mr Johnson, and while I admired the 2003 Mitt Romney (but not the right wing extremist he has become), I will be voting to re-elect President Obama.

Mr. Maday,

Being all the candidates are American, which are you refering to:

Barrack Obama - D
Mitt Romney - R
Gary Johnson - L
Stewart Alexander - S
Stephen Rollins - Ind.
Ron Paul - R-Ind

so which one... or were you assuming that Obama didn't have the proper documentation that any citizen has as proof of birth and there was only two candidates.

Trask,
While in a vaccuum your agrument makes sense, in reality it doesn't. Unemployment, started with a bubble bursting in 2008 (Bush Administration) which the current President is still having to deal with. A problem 20 years in the creation isn't going to be fixed in 4 years. Especially when the vastiness of the issue wasn't truly determined until 2 years in. Which has effected both Unemployement and the Debt. Regardless of how much was spent, being for 3 years he followed a lot of the same telnets as Bush we were going to increase the debt. Gas prices aren't determined by this country alone. As people who dumb to blame Bush for the gas prices, they are just as dumb to blame Obama for the gas prices. No, drill in America will not produce enough oil to truly move the needle in the price of Oil. There isn't enough oil comparied to Middle East, South America, and Russia. No matter who was elected in 2008 they were going to fail on those three fronts. If McCain was elected we would be hearing the same stuff about him. Has Obama made mistakes? yes. has he does some things that work? yes. You can't blame a man for things he can't control, only those he truly can. You also have to look well beyond our Excutive Branch of the government and look at the Legislative Branch. If Obama needs to go so do all the Congress and Senators. Also in our state we need to evaluate both as well.

Yeah and if they are really interested when things were better all they have to do is go to the U.S Beureau of Labor and Statistics and they will find that things were a hell of a lot better.

Al,
Already did and as you currrently do not truly look at the trends of statistics we know that you only read what you want to read. Not what the data is actually tell you.

Really, we have birther agruments on both sides. Now the idioticy is going to go up 200%. BIRTHERS on both Sides. Our country is so screwed.

Boy is that a stretch...watch out you may turn into a pretzel if your twist your logic any more than you have already.

Isn't that sad. Ripley. People who deny the importance of politics and policy are dangerous. Politics affects the water we drink the education our children get the food we eat and the amount of food we produce. Our bank accounts and how much liberty we have.

It also effects education which in how the government works, which is aparently lacking in how to research, read data, and how the government and economies work. Because it is apparently in a lot of posts I'm reading.

Carl, first does it matter at this point. He is currently president. Second he has all the documentation that you or I have to show that he was born in the U.S.. If the multiple background checks that have been run haven't truly found anything.

By the way the story is about his paternal grandmother who was speaking through an interrupter on a phone interview. Who later in the same interview corrected the statement saying she recieved a letter of his birth while she was in Kenya. His Maternal Grandmother didn't give interviews due to illiness during his 2008 campaign.

And just like Romney, it wouldn't have mattered with his mom being a citizen and living in the U.S. for 5 years before her 14th birthday. Which is the law his birth would fall under.

The birther agruments are just humorous at this point.

If you want to learn about when things were better compare Bush's unemployment figures with Obama's Go to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. I mean as long as these sheep want to discuss Bush two elections later.

Al,
Did and replied. Apparently you only read numbers, that fit your agrument. Bush was an 7 year president and you deny the trends that are obvious in the data.

Hey Mike there are still some questions that have been unanswered about who this guy is. He popped up like a daisy among a garden of weeds. The State of Hawaii vouched for him and produced a birth certificate. Funny since the state of Hawaii is overwhelmingly controlled by democrats. I guess we have to believe that they are being above board just like Accorn registrations were all above board. Yeah right... Democrats have a record of deceitful tactics. Chicago politics in particular. Why have his college records not been released. No one seems to know him from Columbia University. He is like Jesus. We know when he was born but know very little about him until the age of 30 or so. Obama is not Jesus or maybe I am no birther but his actions do not reflect a person I would consider born and bred in the USA.

Patrick,
The problem isn't the dollar amount, you have to look at the true dollar value. Then the numbers are not so out of wack. Still Obama has spent some money, and I'm not excusing Obama for his role. Just saying that like many before him a mess was made and we are blaming one for the role of many. As far as control of both houses, not enough to effectively pass true legislation. He is not the first to inherit the mess, but the first to inherit a mess of this magnitude since probably Roosevelt. If you look at what Reagan, JFK, and Clinton their recessions were no where close. Reagan entered in a slight recession that was seeing some growth through Carter's housing legislation (which is what ultimately caused this mess). Clinton entered an economy that was starting a shift in dynamics in our economic structure. Clinton was smart in he kept a good amount of Reagan's policies. I would say it was the last time we had bipartisanship in the Federal Government (which is the true problem). The unemployment issue started in 2nd Quarter of 2008, housing/banking market burst in a historic level. Now it is my belief that both Bush and Obama reacted incorrectly for a Free Market society, but that is my opinion. This isn't a 4 year fix, or even an 8 year fix. It took 15 years before we corrected a recession of this magnitude. Now as I have stated earlier I have my own issues with Obama, but I will not fault him for things that are beyond his span of control.

Al,
Really Birther agrument. See my post above on said agrument. It really is a tired agrument.

Obama doesn't spend my money, the House of Representatives does. Last I looked, they were majority Republican. The President is responsible for foreign affairs. He can ask Congress to do stuff but he cannot force it; they have the spending authority in our Republic.

I am far more concerned with how people appear to know very little about their actual form of government.

Shawn,
Thank you for this comment, I have mentioned it being the legislative branch for a while now. But apparently American Government hasn't always been a required course in Florida High Schools.

Oh I forgot Andrea. Wilson a democrat got us into WW1. So there goes your argument. Wars are gotten into because we show weakness and appeasement. Exactly what Obama is doing now,,,,,Except for Truman. Guess what he screwed up Korea in the end by going along with the UN.

Technically the Korean "War" is still on-going. And the United States does have thousands of troops in Korea, troops who are actually shot at still.

So well put Al Dila! And Monica you obviously have no clue. Perhaps you've been in your small Main St. town too long.

You are silly in your remarks Monica. When Mitt Romney was governor he went as far as to collect garbage as a garbage man to get a handle on what garbage men have to deal with. As far as not meeting with anyone that is hear say on your part and probably just empty rhetoric on your part. I fail to see how he could have shut people out with a State Legislature that was 85% Democrat. Stick to the facts girl. You sound like a useful idiot of the left.

It is obvious that you have never had a position of responsibility in the corporate word. If you did you would know that it is hard work to be in demand and make decisions that affect the lives and welfare of not only your stock holders and employees. Let me tell you by personal experience. You hardly have time to sleep. You get somewhere and before you know it you have to go somewhere else. You almost never see your family. The vacations you take are always inter twined with business. You stay on the phone till the wee hours of the morning because you speak to people that are in other time zones. Then you have get ready to take a flight somewhere. The idea that he did not work is ridiculous. No one gets money for doing nothing. Even those guys in organized crime work hard. They don't produce they get wacked.

Al...I've read what you have to say and you sound like a useless "idiot of the right!" (To use your terminology to Monica) See, what good does it do to call people names because they don't agree with you. You didn't convince me of anything but your lack of ability to argue a point with no tolerance for another point of view and I certainly didn't convince you that you're a tool of the right. All of this is opinion not fact. George Bush didn't think he was doing wrong when he started a war against a country that wasn't involved in 9-11. That was his opinion. Yours might be different and so might mine. So cut the company line and admit that Republicans are not always right and Democrates are not always wrong and visa-versa. For every Republican misdeed I can name a Democratic one. The whole point here is who did you vote for and why. My reason as well as yours should be we think they are the best for ALL concerned. They will act in the best interest of not only ALL Americans, not just "The Chosen," but in the best interests of all people everywhere for we all do better when we all do better.

Monica here are some things that Romney has done and how he has served others:

- Has given an avg of nearly 14% to charity throughout his entire career and nearly 30% from his most recent tax returns

- Gave away his entire inheritance from his father to charity and BYU.

- Shut down Bain Capital for several days to coordinate efforts to help find a 14-year old missing daughter of one of his colleagues. Romney is praised for literally saving the young girl's life.

- Took no salary while Gov. of MA

- Took no pay for coordinating the Olympics in Salt Lake City

- Took no pay while serving on the board of his church

- In 1990, he was asked to return to Bain Capital to be its CEO and save it from bankruptcy. He only took a 1 dollar salary.

- Asked V.A. hospital what they needed, and they said milk. Romney paid out of his pocket to provide 7,000 pints of milk every week for 2 years.

- Romney took time out of his busy schedule to help a dying 14-year boy write his will. He literally went to the hospital with a legal-pad notebook, and helped him write it out, so his skateboard and model rockets went to his friends and brother.

- Romney paid 100% of 2 boys college tuition, after they became quadriplegics after a car accident. This, after the fact, that the Romney family constantly visited the family in the hospital, even during Christmas, when they could have been vacationing elsewhere.
So I guess Al Dila is right!

Al, if you look at my reply to Patrick you will see that I said the mess is originally from legislation under the Carter administration. I didn't blame Bush for this mess, as I have said in multiple posts, this is a 30 year in the making mess. It was set in motion not just by Clinton and Carter, but Reagan and both Bushes tweaked the rules. Also all the Congressional Members over those 30 years helped as well, remember the restore America Republican House who added a few parts that helped create this mess. It was a bipartisan mess and it will take something we don't have now. Bipartisanship to clean it up, but neither party wants to admit to that. Don't blame one party for the mess made by all.

Again you make it sound like the Democratic party was the only hand in the pot. Both parties created the mess, to blame on one party is just inaccurate. Also do not forget the fault that the banks and their boards also have in this mess. You tend to focus on one party or group which created this issue. But this is a mess with a lot of hands in the pot of creation.

Al,
This is something we can agree on. To put yourself through hte campaigning meatgrinder is something no one truly wants to experience. Especially in todays media/social media where everything that is done down to how you put on your pants is overanalysized.

Al,
You assume that I do not blame Obama for anything. Like I have stated multiple times I have issues with Obama. I just do not blame him for things outside of his span of control. Just like I do not blame Bush for things outside of his control. I think both Obama and Romney are liars and frauds. Does that make one better than the other, not really. Do I think one is better than the other, not really. But I'm not going to fault a man for things that were set inmotion long before he went into office and regardless of what he did were going to happen. He has done some good things and some bad things. I just say to judge him on his actual record and actual facts. Not the propaganda machine and the lies.

Dharma,
The legislation that put this ball in motion was under the Carter Administration. So yes, in some ways he does have some partial blame. But his initial idea while good intentioned like all things in politics got twist over 30+ years and multiple administrations. Is he solely to blame, no. But if you look at the issue that cause the bubble, it did start there. But both parties are to blame on this one, with the distortions that came from that bill.

LOL! That's what most Rep. think about Dems. What part of Mars are you from?

Dharma,
At no point am I saying Carter was bad. Carter through his political carreer as a U.S. admistrator is incredibly underrated. But so is Nixson, people forget all the good both these men had due to a few things that happen in their Presidency. I understand the bubble was always a possiblity, but you can't get away from the legislation that was pasted. But as I've tried to point out as well, it was changed over the years as well due to varying admistrations and Congressional Votes. You are saying that I'm blaming him solely for something I'm not. I'm saying yes, he does deserve some, because the legislation that allowed the genius of this problem was signed by him. But the legislations that followed that tweaked the rules throughout the next 30 years, also played a role. You view what I'm saying as Carter bashing, where I'm saying this is a bipartisan issue that stretches 30 years through both parties. So both parties are to blame.

Michael D. I'll say it, "Carter was a terrible President"! Likable person, but a bad Executor. We should never hire because we like a person, but because of their ability to get a job done. I goto my cardiologist cause he is the best available, not because I like to have beer with him at my local Pub!

PRESIDENT OBAMA

Note to Mooochelle, pack up your belongings, America has woken up and you have disgraced the White House enough
