“He’s certainly easier to understand than Romney and makes the case against the president in a more defined way. It’ll help us.”

Wow.......not exactly a resounding comment about Romney versus Obama!

Weeper for President?.........Yikes

Wow, Romney and Boehner as BFF's! We can expect Romney to take on a more oompa loompa-like complexion, and to drink a lot more.

Romney on the other hand would be seen with a dog carrier on the roof of his Mercedes while he weaved to and fro down the highway with a brown goo streaming down his back window.

Mittens couldn't hang with the Weeper!

Mittens reportedly has never had a drink of any alcoholic beverage.

Golf? Don't know if Mittens plays that game, or any game!

Speaker Boehner, along with all the other GOP/Norquist income inequality advocates, voted for multi-millionaire (R-WI) Ryan's Budget.

The devastating Ryan Budget includes: taking health insurance away from more than 50 million Americans to pay for a $3 trillion tax cut to the top 1%.

Ryan's Budget is a trojan horse designed to impose a radical vision on our country.

Romney supports it. Boehner and his party voted for it.

Sorry! I meant that Boehner would be weaving down the road with the dog carrier!

“He’s certainly easier to understand than Romney and makes the case against the president in a more defined way. It’ll help us.”

Wow. How scary is it that the GOP thinks Boner is a better speaker than their candidate for president?

Romney might as well go back home and play with his car elevator.

Makes sense to me that Boehner would go all in for Mitt. If the President is re-elected and the House goes back to the Dems, Boehner will be out of his Speakership (not that he has done anything with it but he gets extra money for the job and he gets to turn down invitations to State Dinners).

Fisting Redhead, He can't show you yet...wait until he is elected in Nov. By the way, as a wannabe advocate for the down and trodden, I can't wait to see your argument for Micheel spending $460,000 of taxpayer money for her vacation to Spain (just came out after 2 years of fighting to release by White House). I know, you will fall back on your "why are we talking about trivial things like this" response, but you have really honed in on Romney's dog issue. At least he doesn't eat them like the President does!

Wow Bob, yet another AKA? www.dogsagainstromney.com

Why are most of the Bob's that post here so stupid. All of the First Lady's went on vacation and all pay there own way. That is a fact.

Read former First Lady Laura Bush's book and she will give you the facts.

Wayne..pretty good. But they usually have there heads out of the window anyway. Still say it's better than eating them like Obama wrote in his book. Bo must start shaking every time he comes back into the White House (after a vacation or golf outing).

Don't know if Mittens plays that game, or any game!

Romney plays one game - make-believe game - and he is really good at it. He assumes the role of a human being...oh, wait, what am I saying? He sucks at it....

Robert Draper's Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives

After endorsing Romney on April 17, Boehner started the attack the very next day...

Really? STFU Boehner.

Also, take Romney's advice and congratulate the president for his success. That's right, he can sing, he is funny, he is charismatic, he rocks! -- The "politics of envy?"

Can you imagine being Romney and having to chose your "friends" so carefully. Boehner, the one man, one mouthed super PAC on steroids, will throw one-liners out until election day. And you can bet that every one-liner will be a false "talking point" negative on Obama... NEVER an idea or a positive on Romney.

The only thing these people have to run with is to bad-mouth Obama. Romney doesn't dare recall his record. Boehner doesn't dare reminisce about the good ole House days. Romney won't be able to open his mouth without offending his base and creating yet another flip or flop.

They've run on unworkable sound bytes for so long, they won't be able to articulate a serious position without stepping on their lips. Poor Romney...

LMarcT -- It's just that their "strategery" is starting to backfire. More and more people are getting a clue after watching the debt ceiling debacle and GOP/TP "poison pills" to block extension of the payroll tax cut.

The president is calling them out every time they try the old Swift-boat lies. Yeah, go President Obama! I hope the Dems and surrogates and media join him in this effort.

The important thing will be to do this at the state and local levels as well. We can't afford a Teapublican Senate, even with reelection of the president. The gridlock has been bad enough in regard to the economy, but the blocking of nominations, etc. is something the nation can't afford for another four years.

I keep harping on Robert Draper's Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives, but the four-hour meeting Luntz directed with the GOP after the president's inauguration is a Big f@#$%g Deal. It's really the beginning of all the other crap like ALEC.

Reports are now coming out by a author that has written a book detailing a meeting in 2009 that laid out the plans to bankrupt the country in order to get back control of the government and finish the job started by Karl Rove, George Bush, and Dick Cheney.

It is said by the author that the meeting was attended by 7 Republican Congressmen and 5 Republican Senators including, Kyle, Sessions, Cantor, Ryan and others. Itis also being reported that this meeting was organized by the T party and their elected representitives.

This story is about to go on the air tommorow or Monday.

Stay tuned you are about to see the undoing of the Republican Party

Given the unprecedented failure of Boehner as Speaker, repeatedly being unable to deliver HIS OWN CAUCUS on promised votes he thought he had nailed down, this oughta be good.

How can you go wrong pairing the worst Speaker of the House in anyone's memory with the worst general election Presidential candidate in decades?

@ bayllie

One game Willard plays really well is 'hide & seek' with his tax filings!

Bohener has always been jealous of Obama being the President. At times, he has felt that he was more "important" or "charismatic" than Obama. Bohener hates Obama and he would be the best ally of any of the bozos that have applied for the job.

He can start crying now, because President Obama will be reelected.

I'm surprised Boehner was able to make a statement without his TEA party leader's consent.

Norquist might be o.k. with the statement's content but upset that Boehner didn't seek permission first.

I mean, what good is pledging allegience to Norquist if you defy him?

(note: If you're going to tell me Norquist isn't the TEA party leader, read this: http://www.chicagonow.com/chicago-political-commentary/2011/07/grover-norquist-and-a-radical-tea-party-agenda-what-more-do-you-need-to-know/)

Norquist tells Bohener and all of the spineless people in the GOP -Including Paul Ryan- what to do, and they obey or else..

I am not sure if Mitt Romney has signed a pledge too, but it is probably the passport to be a "member of the elite" in the GOP

The "elite"of a bunch of corrupted self-serving clowns

Why is the Speaker of the House complaining about the POTUS not being involved in Legislating? Isn't that the Speakers job? Isn't the POTUS supposed to enforce the laws passed by the Legislature? Also, isn't it the VP's job to be the surrogate for the WH to Congress? Can someone explain how it is the fault of the Executive branch that the Legislative branch cannot do their job? Please? Anyone?

Backhouse said,

"The devastating Ryan Budget includes: taking health insurance away from more than 50 million Americans to pay for a $3 trillion tax cut to the top 1%."

Where is this provision in the Ryan budget? I can't find it... you know why I can't find it... because this is a flat out LIE!!

You statement shows that you are have no idea what you are talking about and that you have been fooled by the very people you support ...

In the real world that is called a SUCKER!!

That would be a better avatar then backhouse!!

Romney plays one game - make-believe game - and he is really good at it. He assumes the role of a human being...oh, wait, what am I saying? He sucks at it....

That reminded me of the new book "The Republican Brain", by Chris Mooney:

In my new book "The Republican Brain," I argue that if you want to understand why conservatives are so factually wrong right now - not just about science, but also about things like, say, whether President Obama is a Muslim - then you can't just look on the surface of politics (at things like the influence of interest groups, say, or conservative philosophy). You also have to look at the deep-seated psychological traits that differentiate the left from the right.

When you do this, I further argue, you realize that there are some psychological traits that tend to accompany conservatism - especially in its current form in the United States - that naturally conflict with the nuanced, uncertainty-laden thinking style of scientists and liberals alike (members of the "reality based community"). These traits include authoritarianism - seeing the world in black and white, intolerant of uncertainty - but also a lack of openness to experience (a personality trait), a higher need for closure and so on.

I have come to feel that arguing back and forth with people like Bob is a waste of time. Reason and facts do not matter to some people.

What makes sense to me is to add some action to our lives in the form of volunteering to help re-elect the president.

There are independents and apathetic Democrats out there who need to see the value in getting to the polls to vote for the future of our country. There are Ron Paul supporters who are ready to throw their votes away. We need to take action, now!

Please don't wait until September. The Romney attack machine will do a lot of damage if we don't get out there now to kindly and gently persuade the persuadable.

Leave people like Bob to their delusions. Some day, they might wake up from their conservative coma and thank us, but we can't wait for that.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012

The time is now.

He continued, "It's as simple as this, the emperor has no clothes. They can't talk about their record on jobs because their policies have made the economy worse. They can't talk about their record on spending because the president's policies have added 5 trillion dollars to the national debt. And they can't talk about their record on gas prices because gas prices have more than doubled on the president's watch."

It is as simple as that. The media cannot continue to ignore these obvious facts about our current state.

Obama can obfuscate about war on women, student loan rates, and what not, but....

it is the ECONOMY, stupid! Nothing else matters.

Unemployment too high.

Debt too high.

Gas prices too high.

American morale is too low.

Romney/ (Christie or Ryan or Rubio) in 2012 - Our future is now!

Rational AmeriCAN

If the economy is so important to the Republicans, why is their #1 goal making Prez Obama a one term president? Now, you are going to tell me that becuase he is not doing anything to help the economy blah, blah, blah but the problem is that the Republican secret meeting was the day of the inauguration so unless they are psychic, they never cared about the economy because if they did, their little, secret meeting would have been about economy!

"Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money, than what Barack Obama does with MINE."

So...how did you feel about what George W. Bush did with the surplus he inherited from Clinton?

What would you have expected any president to do with the mess Dubbya made and then left behind for Obama to deal with?

The Iraq war had to be paid for somehow.

Bush's tax cuts for the "job creators" (who STILL aren't creating many jobs, despite the continuance of their tax break) had to be paid for somehow.

It doesn't grow on trees.

kaybeetoys,

What would you have expected any president to do with the mess Dubbya made and then left behind for Obama to deal with?

You are trying to argue with a person who does not want to address the fact that it took us 8 years to bring this country's economy to its knees while she/he has these unreasonable expectations of anyone being able to turn this freigh train in 3.5 years. I don't get that.

What is easier: maxing out your credit card or paying it down while the balance keeps growing due to high interest? On top of that the spending and the paying off was done by two different people.

If the economy is so important to the Republicans, why is their #1 goal making Prez Obama a one term president?

Because he is lousy at running the economy. Simple as that. High gas prices, high unemployment, high debt, failed green policies, lousy fiduciary responsibility (Michelle's Spain trip cost half a million bucks and for what?).

I hope this helps you understand.

BTW - that quote, "It's the Economy" - is from Bill Clinton!

kaybeetoys

Are you propagating the myth of a surplus from Clinton to Bush? Really?

If we had a surplus (that was not done with political accounting tricks) then why has our federal debt increased every year of Clinton's presidency? I will find and post the link from the Federal Government for the umpteenth time if you like.

Baylie (you wrote)

Bush's tax cuts for the "job creators" (who STILL aren't creating many jobs, despite the continuance of their tax break) had to be paid for somehow.

Aren't those Obama's tax cuts now? He signed them into law. Bush's tax cuts expired.

Rationa (not so much)

Because he is lousy at running the economy. Simple as that

I spelled it out for you and you chose to ignore it but that doesn't surprise me. How did the Republicans know on the day of Obama's inauguration what kind of a president he was going to be. The answer: they did not care about the economy, the people, the debt, the deficit. All they cared about is getting the presidency back at all costs.

Also, if you feel that Obama is so lousy at running the country, what f*ck to you think of Bush who took a healthy country (based on the past 40 years) and flipped it upside down???????

The $hit hit the fan in 2008 - before Obama was even the president ELECT!

Obama maxed out the card and stopped paying the bill. Have you no shame at all?

sorry dude, but the borrowing started in January 2001. This was in combination of killing a balanced budget and totally finishing stealing what was left in the Social Security to hide the real spending.

What bills did Obama stop paying????

Aren't those Obama's tax cuts now? He signed them into law. Bush's tax cuts expired.

yes, he did because that was the only way he could get unemployment benefits extended and get benefits for the 9/11 Responders. Remember those who ran into burning towers? The Republicans didn't give flyin' crap about them. They only agreed to the benfits to get their precious taxbreaks for the rich passed.

You spelled it out, huh?

Please justify the lousy economic growth 2.2%.

Please justify the lousy unemployment and underemployment numbers.

Please justify the doubling of the gas price and the negative impact on the poorest Americans. Green energy did that.

Please justify another giveaway to college students? They have earning power from their college degrees Bayllie!

The national parks service puts signs up saying "Do not feed the animals because they will become dependent and will not fend for themselves." Obama has upped food stamps to unprecedented levels! The Dept of Interior minds the park service and it is a cabinet position for Obama. Why not take the advice?

uaw-779887 -- Interesting.

Republicans did not think they were going to lose in 2008, certainly not by a landslide. At the inaguration when they looked out at the huge crowd on the mall, cheering, with tears in their eyes, they were terrified. They were terrified of majority rule that was not theirs, terrified of democracy.

The psychological profile in kaybeetoys post #1.24 above helps to explain why the right-wing references Second Amendment Rights instead of this:

A pensive and introspective President Obama said Wednesday the election was a “shellacking” and took responsibility for his party’s disastrous showing, saying that in the rush to get things done, they forgot to make good on their promise to change the way Washington works.

Even now, after complete failure to create the jobspromised before the 2010 election, what are the Teapublicans doing? They are doubling-down on the old, failed GOP/Bush-era policies that caused the Great Depression in the first place. They are doubling-down on hate and fear. They are doubling-down on "strategery" and machinations instead of meritorious persuasion.

Even here in FR Rational AmeriCAN has to post three times in a row because that's the way the right-wing makes their case -- "...to kind of catapult the propaganda."

The GOP/TP never gives "pensive and introspective" thought to anything, least of all taking responsibility for the great damage they have done to this nation. No, instead they will conspire on ways to continue their Tyranny of the Minority.

Correction -- the above post saved before I could edit further -- I meant the Great Recession...carry on...

Where is this provision in the Ryan budget? I can't find it... you know why I can't find it... because this is a flat out LIE!!

No lie, check your facts.

The budget, developed by Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, would cut $3.3 trillion from low-income programs over 10 years, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, even more than the $2.9 trillion in Mr. Ryan’s first disastrous budget last year.

In all, those tax breaks amount to a $3 trillion giveaway to the richest Americans and corporations, according to the Tax Policy Center. Repealing the repatriation tax would add roughly $130 billion to that.

Because he is lousy at running the economy.

Could we at least wait until the new president's boxes are unpacked before stating that your number one goal is to make him a one term president?

Remember, Mitt would have let 10s of thousands go unemployed with just the auto industry alone. How's that make Romney an expert on the economy?

And all that to get $10 in tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations for every dollar in deficit reduction...with all of it to come from vague, unspecified sources through other action that is to come later. The Ryan budget is a charade, the Wizard of Oz brought to real life.

@ Bosslimo

Could we at least wait until the new president's boxes are unpacked before stating that your number one goal is to make him a one term president?

So you mean to tell me that the Democrats don't expressly have the goal to unseat the Republicans? Your feigned shock is disingenuous.

Remember, Mitt would have let 10s of thousands go unemployed with just the auto industry alone. How's that make Romney an expert on the economy?

Simple, companies are private entities that have a right to succeed and to fail. GM should have been allowed to go into normal bankruptcy proceedings (not bailed out by the government). Simply put, what makes GM not run their company recklessly and expect another bailout? You Democrats can't have it both ways, either corporations are evil or benevolent, which is it? If heavily union, is the company benevolent? The GM bailout was a payoff to Obama's union backers. Period. GM should have failed. Period.

A disingenuous claim if I've ever heard such a thing. NEVER BEFORE...not in any decade, not from any political party have we seen such disgraceful behavior. NEVER BEFORE has a political party been willing to tank the entire economy, destroy the entire government of this great nation for political gain.

And your straw man, pretend world in which Liberals and Democrats believe private enterprise is evil is a part of that thin tissue of lies, expertly sold by charlatans. Failure of General Motors and Chrysler would have meant the loss of many, many thousands of jobs, plunging us well and truly into a second Great Depression. Republican trickle down economics already created the biggest econmic disaster in 80 years...why wouldn't you demand still more failure?

GM and Chrylser are tiny companies in the grand scheme John B.

Perhaps if you did some research you'd know that.

GM is #2 on the Fortune 500.

27% voting record. You voted for a party name.

arslp

Those jobs you're touting, would that be all the minimum wage jobs college students have already? And students must work part time. Can you live off of a part time minimum wage job?

The only reason people are living in a parent's basement other than being under age is because republican status quo put them there during the Great Recession brought to your neighborhood compliments of Bush and Co.

The knee-jerk reaction to blatant truth- claim that everyone opposed to your politics must be leechers on the left.

Guess what? People actually vote for their better good.

According to a new survey from the Harvard Institute of Politics, young adults still overwhelmingly like President Barack Obama. Among four-year college students alone, the president's approval rating has risen 9 points to 60 percent since a similar poll was conducted October. The president's overall approval rating holds at 55 percent among 18-to 29-year-olds, up 6 points from October.

Calling college students parent leechers won't help you win an election either.

I'm still waiting for conservative 'luminaries' like Santorum, Palin and Glenn Beck to jump on the Romney bandwagon.

Maybe they're afraid he'll make them ride in a roof-top carrier? :)

TR..keep it up buddy, we will be cutting off your unemployment when he gets elected if you don't tone it down...where will you be then?

good grief Bob - don't flatter yourself by saying "we" ...

your threats are worth nothing just like the threats of the "we" you talk about!

why don't you get ahold of your "we" and provide those new jobs you promised in Nov 2010?

Well, they were extended!

as a refresher - "Osama" was killed - something the last President couldn't accomplish in 7 years!

While you're talking about extending the Bush tax cuts, are you trying to hold that one act - passed by who?????? - as THE pivotal point of this tanking economy?

You people actually believe the "Bad old rich" rhetoric that comes from the White House.... Do you actually think it's going to help this economy to continue to raise taxes? Sure you do; you don't pay any..... You deserve to have the rich pay the taxes, right? After all, you're entitled.....

If U R not rich, why would u complain about the rich paying more taxes, I'm not sure what's the big deal about paying more taxes I only make 60,000 yr. I don't mind paying a lil more for the good of the country.

....this message was sent to you by the home office of the GOP!

This message sponsored by reality.

Give it to Conservatives, they play the Big Lie technique to perfection. One of the big stories is how Republicans were meeting even before Inauguration Day to present a unified front of obstruction, and Conservatives continue claiming it's the President who refuses to work with Republicans.

To quote your great leader's response. "This is what elections are for" before Obama was elected it's true alot of American's knew his leadership would lead to more American's living in poverty. Obama's blame someone else leadership hasnt helped this country at all.....

I'm trying to understand, when the President came into office the country was still losing about 700,000 jobs a month. Republicans did not want to put money in the economy did not do anything to support job growth. The economy has been adding jobs for more than two years. What IS THE PROBLEM WITH U PPL?

Nice deflection, UAW. You didn't even attempt to answer the issue I raised...that Republicans had an organized effort to paralyze Congress and the executive branch even before inauguration day.

Bob,

I got one for you:

A Letter from Rick Santorum

Introducing SantorumCare™

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – Today, former Senator Rick Santorum issued the following letter to the American people.

Dear American People:

When I think about government-mandated healthcare, I have the same response that any mature adult would have: it makes me want to throw up.

That’s why, on my first day as President, I will repeal ObamaCare. Well, actually, on my very first day I’m going to repeal the Renaissance. And also the theory of evolution. But I will definitely get rid of ObamaCare by Day Three, Four at the latest.

You see, ObamaCare runs counter to my well-documented position on personal freedom: I believe in the rights of the unborn child, until it’s born and wants a checkup.

What will take the place of ObamaCare? As your President, I will institute SantorumCare™, a healthcare plan that will cover absolutely no medical procedures whatsoever except one: exorcism.

For many years, possession by the devil has been America’s number one health problem, far more serious than those posed by cigarette manufacturers who have funneled millions to my PACs. You don’t have to take Rick Santorum’s word for it that America is in the grips of a devil-possession epidemic: just watch any episode of “Jersey Shore.”

You’re probably saying to yourself, “Government-mandated exorcisms are a great idea, Rick. But how will we find the devil babies to exorcise?” Good question, and I have a good answer: on my first day as President, I will order mandatory transvaginal ultrasounds for every woman in America.

These ultrasounds will be a prerequisite to getting a driver’s license at the DMV, where there’s plenty of downtime for such a procedure. Additionally, they can be easily and safely performed by TSA employees on the airport security line. If an ultrasound turns up any telltale signs of a devil baby (e.g. horns or tail) we’ll schedule the woman for her government-mandated exorcism there and then.

I hope after reviewing SantorumCare™, you’ll agree that it’s the best healthcare plan out there for you and your family. But just in case you’re not sold yet, maybe this will seal the deal: leeches are 100% covered.

Vote for me,

Rick

Bob, here is another one:

Poll: Given Choice Between Romney and Santorum, Most Voters Choose Suicide

Survey Spells Trouble for GOP, Pollster Says

COLUMBUS, OH (The Borowitz Report) – With just hours until Super Tuesday, a new survey of likely voters indicates that in a match-up between former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, a majority would choose suicide over either candidate.

The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, shows Mr. Romney drawing 21%, Mr. Santorum 18%, and various forms of suicide 61%.

“Throwing yourself in front of a speeding city bus” was the most popular means of suicide at 22%, with “jumping off the roof of a really tall building or bridge” coming in second at 17%.

According to pollster Davis Logsdon, the surging popularity of suicide bodes ill for both Gov. Romney and Sen. Santorum as presidential candidates in 2012.

“It’s still early, but even at this stage of the game the prospect of one of those two being nominated shouldn’t be making voters want to kill themselves in these numbers,” Mr. Logsdon said.

Reached on the campaign trail in Columbus, Mr. Romney pointed out that while he did not do as well as suicide, he still polled higher than Sen. Santorum, adding, “That’s better than a sharp stick in the eye.”

But Mr. Logsdon was quick to throw cold water on Mr. Romney’s upbeat assessment: “In a head-to-head match-up, a sharp stick in the eye beats Romney by a two-to-one margin.”

Elsewhere, exit polls in Russia showed that Vladimir Putin did particularly well among voters who described themselves as “not wanting to be imprisoned.”

one more...but I can keep going if you want me to..

A Clarification from Mitt Romney

About Poor People

LA JOLLA, CA (The Borowitz Report) – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney today released the following letter to the American people:

Dear American People:

Yesterday, comments I made about poor people made me look terrible. This always seems to happen when I say what I really believe.

The fact is, I do care about poor people. That’s because I’m poor myself, when you compare me to Mark Zuckerberg.

According to most projections, Facebook’s IPO should net Mr. Zuckerberg a personal fortune of $28 billion. I couldn’t make a pile of dough-re-mi like that even if I fired people twenty-four hours a day.

Now, let’s take a look at Mitt Romney’s net worth: a measly $200 million. Now do you see why I consider myself poor? Compared to Mark Zuckerberg, Mitt Romney is practically a crack whore.

Now, I’m not going to sit here and envy a rich person like Mark Zuckerberg. That’s exactly what President Obama wants poor people like me to do. Mark Zuckerberg made his money fair and square, by creating useful products like imaginary sheep and angry birds. Say what you will about Facebook, it has totally revolutionized the way we waste our lives.

The fact is, if you’re poor in America, you should do what Mark Zuckerberg did: create a social network. I’ve just started my own, called TwoFaceBook. With TwoFaceBook, your profile doesn’t stay the same for more than two seconds.

In closing, there’s one more reason I don’t worry about poor people. They have Groupons.

Vote for me,

Mitt Romney

*waves to Bayllie*

Got to ♥ those Borowitz Reports! lmao

No one does satire like Andy!

Little Boob is so far out of his league - he doesn't even qualify for 'rookie' status!

Fisting Redhead, yes carrot top, when it comes to writing fiction, you take all the awards...Now Bayllie, he's pretty good!

Bayllie, which candidate actually gave cash to a person in danger of losing her electric service because she was out of work?

Here's a hint- it wasn't Obama.

Which candidate gave that same person a job?

Here's another hint- it wasn't Obama.

In fact, it was Romney- and it turns out that it was not the first time he pulled cash from his pocket to help someone in need.

Got anything- anything at all- on Obama ever doing that?

I don't think so. Why? Because it would lead the news for months on end, that's why.

So, I'm pretty sure it never happened. What we have here is another situation where Obama talks- and talks- and talks- but there is no action.

Romney, on the other hand, walks the walk. You see the difference?

No. Of course not.

The rest of us do.

Fires thousands helps one hahahaha what a great guy lol

bayllie:

So, Santorum cost American taxpayers nothing in tax dollars....there's a clever piece about Santorum and Romney.....and Romney made remarks that.......Oh my God, NO!!!!! Poor, entitled people...... OMG.... they took offense.

Well, you've missed the point. Nothing in these little articles that you copied - (congratulations on those dexterity skills) do not imply any monies that cost the American taxpayer like the Obamas. Obama has never created a job with one penny of his own money. Not now; not ever.

Did you really not get the point, or were you just in too big a hurry to copy the cute stuff somebody else did? I'm sure it's intoxicating to get little "Waves" but think, for Pete's sake, ok? Oh, that's right, this is the Democratic board, and I'm probably personna non grata. Oh well......

mtramaley:

Fires thousands? So, that must mean he had hired them in the first place, right? How many jobs has Obama given out of his businesses?

Had your own business? I have. Very, very small, with one employee. Guess what? This rich/poor dichotomy that is coming out of the White House is crap. How many of you actually think the occupier of the White House cares whether you have a job? Actually, if not, then you're dependent on........yep, that's right. Keep ticking off the rich; those who provide jobs..... Raise taxes, institute more reforms... and more reforms...and more mandates....

Can't pass Crap & Trade? Appoint Lisa Jackson - "Utility bills have to sky-rocket" pass it through the back door. You see, Obama doesn't know about business or private enterprise - because he's never done anything but suck off the government teat his whole life.

arslp

Lets not mention any facts, just throw out rhetoric and hope people buy it?

So, the money the president earned at Harvard for 12 years was paid by the government? I guess Bush wrote an Executive Order for that?

The rich is providing jobs?

http://www.businessinsider.com/15-charts-about-wealth-and-inequality-in-america-2010-4#ixzz1tDRT12hO

To the rest of the world outside of yours, it looks like the wealthy are getting filthy rich with less workers and cutting the existing workers' pay.

arslp

Well, you've missed the point.

you missed the point; my copy and paste was directly aimed at Bob's silly "letter."The point was that I could match his not only with 1 but many. By the way, they are not articles (which you seem to be taking very seriously); they are called satire. They are as true as Bob's "letter" from the First Lady.

Obama has never created a job with one penny of his own money. Not now; not ever.

Neither did Romney

no joe,

Bayllie, which candidate actually gave cash to a person in danger of losing her electric service because she was out of work?

I would be more impressed with Romney if actually cared about little people. Donations to charity (which are a tax deduction by the way) don't equal to the fact that as governor of Mass he raised fees on every day citizens - by $432 million. Romney concocted or boosted 88 fees. Romney charged more for marriage licenses, gun & car registrations, a used-car sales tax, gasoline deliveries, real-estate transfers and many more.

Romney even proposed creating a fee for blind people and proposed raising fees for state schools.

All that plus the fact that under Romney, Mass went from 10th place to 47th place in job growth. He will also proudly tell you that he cut taxes (which he is lying about) for corporations. All Romney did was made it harder for Mass residents so maybe that is why he occassionally helps someone who gets their electric cut off. Guilty conscious????

Feisty,

Got to ♥ those Borowitz Reports! lmao

No one does satire like Andy!

Apparently I should have added a disclaimer that it is satire because I confused the heck out of poor arslp. He/She got mad! I thought it would be obvious.

mtramaley

Fires thousands helps one hahahaha what a great guy lol

you summed it ip so much better than I did.

The same people that complain about Romney's supposed tax increases fail to acknowledge the president who has spent more in 3 years than any other president in history. Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.

http://www.npr.org/2011/01/25/133211508/the-weekly-standard-obama-vs-bush-on-debt

bayllie,

only grandiosity would cause you to think that a cut and paste job done on an msnbc message board would cause even a ripple in the pond, but if it entertains you... go ahead. Reality doesn't seem to be the forte of Obama supporters anyway.

bayllie,

Topic maintenance.....

Let's try again. Romney employed people from private enterprise (perhaps that's the confusion you're experiencing). Obama teaching at Chicago Law School, (not Harvard - do facts mean anything to liberals?) was the product of an Affirmative Action education which placed Obama in a seat that someone else better qualified had to vacate because they were not a minority. As stated earlier, he has never, until book writing, made any money (other than the Rezko deal) via any other venue other than the government teat.

arslp

How do you know a better qualified person vacated their position to let a minority in?

Who was this person? What made him/her a more qualified person?

You apparently know first hand or you wouldn't be posting it, right?

Under your line of thinking, Romney achieving his 1% status off the dismantling of business, casting workers into unemployment, and selling them for scrap is better than a community organizer that advocates for the common man.

arslp is waiting breathlessly for Mittens to rebuild the American economy by buying Canada at a bargain price, laying off all the government workers, and selling it to Germany for a big profit.

Peace,

Just what exactly has Romney said to make you think he's a "Waffler"? What statements has he made to make you say that?

You want to know which statements Obama has made that make me know he's a liar?

http://obamalies.net/list-of-lies

Remember, no new taxes? Rubes have fallen for the war on the rich. Who in this nation is going to give jobs? Bad, mean rich people. Sympathy for women? My eye. Let's keep them on welfare, oppressed, dependent on government handouts, and they're ours, silly little sheep.

arslp

Thank you for posting a right-wing website. But there are two sides to every story.

wow...did you think of that all by yourself?

I bet you're a barrel of laughs at parties right?

Don't get puked on by Drunkard of the House Boner

ahright?

And yet recent polls have Speaker John Boehner as the most popular of all congressional leaders...the least liked...the wicked witch of the west, Nancy Pelosi

And yet recent polls have Speaker John Boehner as the most popular of all congressional leaders...the least liked...the wicked witch of the west, Nancy Pelosi

You got some back up for that?

Feisty maybe John of AZ is like John Kyle of 'It's not intended to be a factual statement' infamy!

Just say stuff, make stuff up, just lie and hope it goes unchallenged. lol

Here ya go...Don't choke on it.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/congressional_favorability_ratings

Choke on it? Hardly, I'm doubled over in laughter!

Ahhh - yessss - the right leaning Rasmussen - why am I not surprised? How about a neutral source if you can locate one Johnny boy?

See us loony liberals can dispute sources just like you & your ilk do...

lmfao@ YOU loser!

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it false except in your convoluted mind.

BTW where was Bev today? Missed the big laughs.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it false except in yopur convoluted mind.

Oh dear - the Chief of Spelling police @!$%#ed up...again!

Go troll someone else honey - I find YOU boring and ill prepared!

Sitting in the shadows while tossing the occasional insult from the cheap seats says all I need to know about ya!

Shame you have NO core...

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL

What are you talking about? There are no spelling errors. Are you losing what little is left of your mind?

Trolling you is no fun and I would never do that. I need a challenge and you do not pose any at all with your inane comments. Once again you deflect from the facts. You Miss F are a LOSER!!

"Go troll somewhere else honey - I find YOU boring and ill prepared!"

Hilarious! Tad bit Marie Antoinette, with a little Cliff Clavin thrown in.

arslp

Yes Miss F is a bit of a drama queen. She is also a huge "O" supporter and a paid MSNDC blogger with very little common sense. It's always fun to tweek her clown nose.

This is not 2008 and a lot of those voters don't like the "change". I must have missed the point where Obama was running against Boehner.

Job 1 actually it was 142,731 votes for Boehner in 2010 or 66% of the vote.

In fact, Boehner has averaged just under 70% of the vote in all of his Congressional elections since 1990.

Do you understand the difference between National and Local elections?

You need to spend less time in class doodling in your Trapper Keeper and pay more attention to your American Government teacher. (Is your AG teacher your Driver's Ed teacher too?)

Job1 only knows tetalking points from MSLD. Don't expect him to be rational.

You started it. Now man up and accept that you had your a$$ handed to you.

Accept voter fraud; voter intimidation..........................NO

Accept Calderone in unison with the standing president to admonish Jan Brewer when she is attempting to maintain federal law.............NO

Accept Healthcare takeover (partisan)..........................NO

Accept a president who apologizes for this country.........NO

Accept that 53% pay no taxes, and tax more those who work hard, make a good living, and increase entitlements..........................NO

Accept that Cap & Trade is being ushered in the back door by Lisa Jackson and the EPA....................................................................NO

Accept the POTUS' aunt, uncle and other family members are here illegally - on the tax payers dime; put up with uncle's DUI's..............NO

Looks like those who don't accept the above are the party of "KNOW".

arslp, are you related to Boner? or are you actually that braindead?

jazzlily,

Boner? Cute. What are you, twelve?

you forgot to mention teleprompters, arslp.

Better go back for another load of empty Conservative talking points...

...or you could even try to prove any of the above. But that isn't what you'll do, is it?

alienjon-

While your on the subject of quoting fiction from "Fux News", why don't you really bore us, and read a couple of chapters from "War and Peace".....

What a lot of long winded, cut and paste, bull@!$%#!

Obama/Biden 2012

While your quoting dumbasss, put a sock in it while adults can actually talk.

Fox has shown ABC, CBS, and NBC all lying and full of crap. They later even came out admited it on Trayvon case.
