Oh yes for the next 6 months Romney will sound so sweet charming, caring and human, it will be sickening to those that has been watching and listening to him for the last 6 months.

Like what he has said about education, getting rid of most of it or is for the Ryan budget that would cut it to the bone and then as if an after thought says he is now for not leaving the interest rates go up. When he has to walk back to the mic to say this it was not his most important concern.

Sounds like he was shooting the @!$%# like a good ole boy. Typical politician can't believe a thing any of them say. They just look out for theirselves and screw the rest of us. I cannot vote for someone who belongs to a cult if you don't believe me read the book wife no. 19. Women you don't want romney in the white house unless it is ok for you to be a piece of property.

The rest of us don't need a rich man who caters only to the rich. The one in office I believe is the lesser of two evils. Doesn't mean he is the one we need to help the country but romney would only be worse.

What we need is to scrap the two party system, all pacs and allow anyone to run for the office of president or congress. Get rid of all corporate influence and do what is right for the country not just for rich people.

What would Romney campaign film look like after governing a State, It would be a commercial for the top 1% and the elite? Because other then signing a health care bill, everything else in the state went down, jobs for one.

Gov. Romney worked in the private sector and he did a great job destroying companies and people’s lives. But when he moved that experience to government, he had one of the lowest job creation rates in the country. Massachusetts was 47th in the nation in job growth while Romney was in office.

He will do the same thing he did at Bain Capital if he becomes president, he will further place the country in debt, then break it up, sell it off to the highest foreign bidders, ship the rest of our good paying jobs over seas, finish taking anything that is left of Medicare, SSI and the country from the people and we will be living on rice and beans, that is if we can effort rice and beans.

His tax plan proved this it took more money from education, the poor and lower middle class and give more tax breaks to the top 1%

Most of his votes so far that he got in every state have been from voters making above $250,000. Looks like the top 1% (Wall Street, Big Banks, the Oil Companies, Insurance Companies and Pharmaceutical Companies) got their candidate; Romney got the blessing from these entities

If Romney wins the election in Nov. do we need to kiss his ring will he become the President or the Godfather?

I commend the people that started those businesses but what kind of pay scale. Wal Mart now makes billions and pays what $8,000 to thousands of employee and #1 employer. It has destroyed mom and pops just like Staples did and lowereed our tax base and eliminated our good paying manufacturing base and now financial jobs many graduate entered and we see what they did to our bubble. Romney is so out of touch with the working person and big corp;orations will tell him just like Obama and the rest of the puppets to do their bidding and keep you in fear or other emotional hot button issued for your wasted vote. The Revolution will be leaderless. Join the Occupy Movement

Mr. Obama has nothing to offer but the continuing platitudes of "hope" and "change". Hope is not a strategy and change is not a destination.

If more tea party people get in office and we get a tea party President like Romney we will go into a reason again.but worse

you people say you want a third party guess what that third party is own by corporations there name is the tea party

I bet Obama would eat those 7/11 cookies..vote Obama a people President

Students need to be more careful with their education budget. 50 or 60 thousand for a nursing major? The smart student would go to a technical school for the first stint, get her LPN license, work while she earned her RN and any further degree she wanted. That puts an end to school loan debt. I have little sympathy for students that create unnecessary debt and then cry about it.

Funny how the typical leftist lovers continue to trash anyone who does not agree with them.

I'm curious, since I did not have time to view this bogus news site for the past week, why can't I find an MSNBC article on the the latest jobs claims? Google does not come up with one. Does one exist or since the news is not good; they just ignored it?

A SMALL SAMPLING OF THE MANY LIES OF Willard Mitt Romney

"100,000 new jobs." Romney has repeatedly claimed that during his tenure at Bain Capital, "net-net, we created over 100,000 jobs." His campaign defends the figure by tallying the current employment totals of some companies Bain aided. That's a stretch in and of itself, but it's also not a net figure. It lacks the balancing context of how many jobs were destroyed by Bain. As the Los Angeles Times reported in December, while Bain helped some companies grow, "Romney and his team also maximized returns by firing workers, seeking government subsidies, and flipping companies quickly for large profits. Sometimes Bain investors gained even when companies slid into bankruptcy."

Indeed, the Wall Street Journal looked closely at Bain's record under Romney and found that 22 percent "either filed for bankruptcy or closed their doors by the end of the eighth year after Bain first invested, sometimes with substantial job losses." Which is not really terribly surprising: Bain's raison d'etre is not job creation but wealth creation for its investors. As Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler noted in an article Monday calling Romney's "100,000 jobs" figure "untenable," Romney and Bain "never could have raised money from investors if the prospectus seeking $1-million investments from the super wealthy had said it would focus on creating jobs."

As a corollary, when Romney's record has been criticized, he has dismissed criticisms as an attempt to "put free enterprise on trial." It's not an attack on free enterprise. It's an attack on Romney's strained attempt to spin his successful record of wealth-creation into one of job-creation. It's also a recognition that while a net good, the free market has its destructive side—and it's a fair question to ask, whether voters consider experience in that sort of vulture capitalism as a good qualification for the presidency. Do they want government to be run more like that kind of business?

[See a collection of political cartoons on Mitt Romney.]

Obama's jobs record. By Romney's own logic (touting jobs created but ignoring jobs lost), his attacks on President Obama's economic record are nonsensical. He told Time that Obama "has not created any new jobs," and he told Fox News last week that Obama has "lost" 2 million jobs as president. This is indeed a net figure, but also a misleading one. When Obama took office, the economy was shedding jobs at a rate of nearly 1 million jobs per month, losing roughly 3 million during the first four months of 2009. But presidential policies don't take effect as soon as the incoming chief takes his oath. Once Obama's policies started to take effect, the trend turned. The country had added 3.2 million private sector jobs over the course of 22 straight months of private sector growth. By Romney's definition, the president has created more than 3 million jobs—not enough, but also not none.

[Read the U.S. News debate: Will Mitt Romney Be the GOP Presidential Nominee?]

In fact the biggest drag on job growth is the 600,000 public sector jobs that have disappeared under the auspices of budget austerity. As my colleague Danielle Kurtzleben reported in September, "government jobs are being shed by the tens of thousands almost every month, hindering an already weak recovery."

"Entitlement society." Romney has argued that Obama "is replacing our merit-based, opportunity society with an entitlement society," where "everyone is handed the same rewards, regardless of education, effort, and willingness to take risk." As New York's Jonathan Chait has observed, "This accusation is approximately as accurate as claiming that the Republican Party wants to pass laws forbidding poor people from making more money." The idea that President Obama (or any Democrat) advocates for equality of outcomes simply lacks a basis in fact.

[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]

It's an important fabrication, because it marks a turning point in Romney's attacks on Obama. Previously the president was characterized as ineffectual, but not a socialist. Forced to battle to win the GOP primaries, Romney has adopted the Tea Party's extremist rhetoric. It won't play with swing voters, even delivered in his polished drone.

Defense cuts. In an October speech on national security, Romney promised to "reverse President Obama's massive defense cuts." One problem: Pentagon spending has gone up under Obama, from $594 billion in 2008 to $666 billion. The 2011 request was for $739 billion. As Rick Perry would say, "Oops."

[Read the U.S. News debate: Are Cuts to the Defense Budget Necessary?]

No apologies. Romney has said that Obama "went around the world and apologized for America." This is part of the conservative, dog-whistle meme that Obama is un-American (and possibly even a foreigner!). While the notion of an international apology tour is a staple of the conservative case against Obama, it is also fictitious. The Washington Post's fact-checker concluded that "the claim that Obama repeatedly has apologized for the United States is not borne out by the facts, especially if his full quotes are viewed in context." Don't hold your breath waiting for an apology from Romney on this one.

Medicare cuts. Romney said that Obama is "the only president to ever cut $500 billion from Medicare." So as we said then, and repeated several times since, the health care law reduces the amount of future spending growth in Medicare. But it doesn't cut Medicare.

The rest of Romney’s statement implies that Obama is doing something no other president has done -- making cuts (which he isn’t).

Military Strength. Romney said The U.S. military is at risk of losing its "military superiority" because "our Navy is smaller than it's been since 1917. Our Air Force is smaller and older than any time since 1947." However, a wide range of experts told us it’s wrong to assume that a decline in the number of ships or aircraft automatically means a weaker military. Quite the contrary: The United States is the world’s unquestioned military leader today, not just because of the number of ships and aircraft in its arsenal but also because each is stocked with top-of-the-line technology and highly trained personnel.

Thanks to the development of everything from nuclear weapons to drones, comparing today’s military to that of 60 to 100 years ago presents an egregious comparison of apples and oranges. Today’s military and political leaders face real challenges in determining the right mix of assets to deal with current and future threats, but Romney’s glib suggestion that today’s military posture is in any way similar to that of its predecessors in 1917 or 1947 is preposterous.

Free Economy. Romney said "We're only inches away from no longer being a free economy." there is little indication that the government’s role has risen dramatically enough over the past few years to threaten the kind of free market that the U.S. has operated under in recent decades. And international comparisons show that the U.S. ranks low in both total tax burden and high in economic freedom -- at least as measured by a prominent conservative think tank.

Health care act. Romney said “Eliminating "Obamacare" ... "saves $95 billion a year."

Romney said repealing the health care law would save $95 billion a year. But that only accounts for outlays in one year, 2016. Because of the revenue sources that the law established, repealing it actually adds significantly to the deficit over the long haul, according to the CBO. Romney’s is statement False.

Mitt Romney ad says labor board tried to block Boeing from building factory in South Carolina.

The NLRB’s complaint started a legal process that could ultimately have resulted in a factory closure, but the NLRB as a whole didn’t tell Boeing anything. What’s more, the legal basis for the action centered on whether Boeing was punishing the union for staging strikes, not that Boeing had opened a factory in a right-to-work state. the statement is False.

Says Barack Obama said, "If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose."

Obama was quoting John McCain. Romney took the words way out of context. Obama said in the speech. "Sen. McCain's campaign actually said, and I quote, ‘If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.’"

Says Barack Obama "never worked in the private sector" before he was elected president.

Some of the relevant jobs in Obama’s work history include:

— A stint in 1983-84 as a research assistant at Business International Corp. in New York City, where he helped write a newsletter.

— Working from 1985 to 1988 as a community organizer for the Developing Communities Project in Chicago;

— Working from 1993 to 2004 as an associate, and then a partner, at the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland, where his work included employment-discrimination and voting-rights cases.

Obama’s State of the Union Speech. Romney said "He gave a speech the other day at his State of the Union address. He didn't even mention the deficit or the debt” At least six different times in his 2012 State of the Union address, Obama mentioned the debt or deficit by name.

"I don't have lobbyists running my campaign."

And there's no question that some key people in the Romney campaign are well-connected lobbyists:

• Kaufman, a senior adviser to Romney, is chairman of Dutko Worldwide, which has lobbied for American Pacific Corp., American Trans Air, Amgen, AT&T; – and that's just some of the As.

• Ben Ginsberg, the campaign's national counsel, is a partner in the firm Patton Boggs, a large lobbying firm that has represented Kaiser Aluminum, Lucent Technologies, the Venetian Casino Resort and many others. His bio on the firm's Web site boasts that "Mr. Ginsberg represents a variety of clients on Capitol Hill on a wide range of issues including appropriations, trade, broadcasting and health care."

• Cardenas is chairman of the Romney Hispanic Steering Committee, a finance co-chairman for the campaign and a frequent spokesman for Romney. He is a partner in Tew Cardenas, a lobbying firm with offices in Washington, Miami and Tallahassee. Records show he has lobbied for Progress Energy, Bell South, the Florida Association of Realtors and the Recreational Fishing Alliance, among others. His Web site boasts that "He has been named as one of Washington, D.C.'s top lobbyists by The Hill newspaper."

• Comstock, an adviser and frequent spokeswoman for the Romney campaign, is a founding partner of Comstock Corallo, which has lobbied for the Hearst Corp. and the National Association of Broadcasters.

"Mitt." It's a small one, but might be my favorite. During a debate in November, when moderator Wolf Blitzer introduced himself by saying that "Wolf" is really his first name, Romney greeted the audience by saying, "I'm Mitt Romney, and yes, Wolf, that's also my first name." In fact, Willard is his first name. It's a lie notable for being so mundane: Why would someone fudge their name? It's almost as if he can't control himself.

Can you imagine a world where Obama had swiss bank accounts as well as offshore accounts?

Romney is a draft dodger, for God's sake. By serving as a missionary for the Mormon Church during the Vietnam War, Romney made sure he would not be drafted from the years 1966 until 1969 (when the war ended, for Romney, and putting self-interest and a whacky religion ahead of public service well past 1975, when the war officially ended). This exemption from service still stands today for Mormons. Romney could have been an Army Missionary, but went as far from danger as he could, to France and ate Freedom Fries while our boys in uniform lost their lives defending their country. Romney believes that war is necessary...for other people to fight. Most draftees in the Vietnam days were from lower-middle class neighborhoods, and enlistees to this day are mostly from the poor of America. As Romney said in 2012, "I'm not worried about the poor." Of course not! He isn't one! He must have been thinking : "Praise the Lord, and let the poor pass the hand grenades for me! And give us more some of those Freedom Fries, Pierre." And he recently endorsed his sons for NOT joining the military! Enough said. He's a conservative? Sure, and my dog speaks Arabic. Woof salaam woof!

Let the etch-a-sketching begin!!!

Funny how all the right wingnuts post here--Fox News doesn't allow posts on their site (we can't have the public questioning what we tell them, and all that).

Get stuffed. The side the far right supports thinks freedom of expression is restricted to news conferences where the questions are discussed beforehand.

Democrat/Mr. Obama voter John Hofmeister the former Shell CEO has stated that Mr. Obama's energy policies are destroying this country and need to change. Mitt will head this country into one where we will produce enough energy to get out of the grip of the Saudi's and OPEC countries. Mr. Obama was playing both sides for campaign donations and was forced to make a choice. He went with the environmental's but not before he went to the Unions and told them that he would make things all better after the election. I work in a large union industry and have senior union management as acquaintances. As a side note, the state of Michigan has a signed a consent agreement with Detroit and all public union contracts are about to be dissolved, look for 1968 style riots when Detroit city gov tries to rightsize its self to be sustainable. New Black Panther rep. Malik Shabazz has said they will "Burn Detroit to the ground"

Professor Romney told the students there was no need to take notes...

He let them know by the end of next week the content will be completely changed depending on what direction the wind and polls are blowing!

You're right, Mitty. Facts are stubborn. Fact: You're nothing more than an oily used car salesman. Fact: You're supremely fake. Fact: President Obama rose from a background of nothing, with a single parent, and became President of the United States, and was black on top of it. Fact: You were born rich. Moral: There is absolutely nothing...NOTHING...that puts you in touch with 99% of the citizens of this country. Not to mention your rhetoric is tired and 13th century-ish.

I wonder if he could sell his words to Harvard, Standford, etc....

"Borrow money if you have to from your parents. Start a business."

What planet does this man live on?? What if your parents haven't been able to get employment? What if there is barely enough money to pay rent and utilities???

Romney is a JERK - and an insulting one at that. He's a latter day male version of Marie Antoinette: If there is no bread for the people: "Let them eat cake" .

CLUELESS - totally CLUELESS!

On the roof of his car for god sakes. The roof of his car!

When Romney asked his dog if he wanted to go for a car ride, his dog said "roof, roof" and well the rest is history.

It is not just about economy, it is about electing someone who has a vision, who has leadeship qualities, who can make very difficult decisions with intellect, composure and compassion. Who can relate to middle America and understand the hardships they face on a daily basis because he has been there.

Mitt and GOP just do not get it.....they have diddly squat when it comes to the attributes I mentioned above.

If you take Romney's advice and consider the facts of President Obama's record, it looks pretty good: Osama bin Laden is dead. General Motors is alive. The debt ceiling got raised. Obama adopted Mitt Romney's model for health care reform.

Maybe Mitt needs a new speechwriter.

Why would anyone listen to this guy, or heck, vote Republican, it baffles me. This fella is completely oblivious to anything resembling reality and just says what he is told to say, no honor, no principle, no core, not an iota of honesty or backbone in his entire body, it's just all about making money with him, astonishingly loathesome.

And the Republican Party today is just the opposite side of the coin to the people they like to demonize as the "enemy" - they have become the Taliban Party of the US, women are treated as second-class, their extreme religious nonsense that's trying to undo settled laws, they say "get govt. off our backs", but have no problem wanting govt. to dictate to women, to gays, to anyone how to behave in the privacy of their homes, on & on. It's totally bizarre. And yet a significant portion of Americans are being brainwashed and fooled into accepting all these as sane and normal. Today in 2012. In America. Their incapacity to accept someone like Barack Obama as President of the US is a huge factor in all this nonsense, making these folks veer so much to the extreme right about all things. I miss the moderate Republicans like Rockefeller, when Democrats and Republicans would debate and argue, but at the end of the day, come together for the good of the country, and Republicans would indeed follow at least a modicum of "God, family, Country" instead of just mouthing these empty platitudes they are so wont to do. Totally, bafflingly, insane and dangerous is the Republican Party today for the United States of America.

They don't know what America's all about. You want to know why people around the world are still attracted to America? NOT because of these folks. They want to come here because of what they see - people like THEMSELVES!! Diversity has always been our strength, indeed it is our CORE strength, it is what refreshes the lifeblood of this country, this society, this land of ours. If America was made up of these extreme phools on the right, NO ONE would want to come here. NO ONE. Oh, America would still be around, it would still be an advanced country. But it wouldn't be the best. It wouldn't be America.
