where is vaginal probe Bob from VA?

I think it's in Rom-ney posterior with him being so Wooden and all? Dunno

There is no doubt that Obummer will go down in history as one of most insignificant presidencies in American history.

The media and the world along with the star-gazed looney left propped this guy on such a pedestal that he didn't stand a chance. He had no place to go but down come January 2009. You really cannot blame him and his donkey-mouth Mrs.

They just merely cashed in the lottery ticket that the looney libs handed them.

You & I know that Obummer had ABSOLUTELTY no real world experiences before the crowning and it's definitely showing now. The problem is expectations were soooo high for what he would be able to do that hearing the “dud” that he became is so painful for his followers, desperation is setting in for them.

Hell, they’re even trying to give Obummer credit for killing bid Laden when it was the brave actions of others that did him in.

Hang in there Mr. President. I feel for ya.

Tell ya what, come January '13 cruise on over to the snowy north that we call Minn-E-Sooooda and I'll teach ya's to play hockey. We'll grab a pickup game in da hood. As a "Community Organizer" in your resume, I'm sure it'll be a snap for us.

It's not like you'll have anything on your schedule then anyway....lol

The Mittronic Rombot pivots (like a hog on ice) to another issue he can't win. Rombot knows how to tear down businesses; not so much, building them up. It was said by others before me, but I think a perfect encapsulation of the differences between the President and Ol' Mittronic would be, "G.M.'s alive and bin Laden is dead." Sums it up perfectly from economic policy to foreign policy.

Good to see that the Rombot has come out of the closet and declares himself an autarch as well as an oligarch by opposing card check. Guess democracy has it's limit's when it comes to worker's pay and benefits and health and safety and dignity. I suppose Mittronic will have a company dumpster for employees to sup at once they've polished off that twelve hour day.

Rombot.Has.Nothing.

OMG...From a Washington Post Editorial (that right wing rag)

So President Obama's refusal so far to authorize Keystone XL has little rational basis.

Michael you must really be afraid of gay people since you think anyone that criticizes you is a homo and you have to brag about how big your balls are. You trying to convince us or yourself.

Settle down Tsk Tsk....life will be ok

Alan who cares what any newspaper has to say, they flip more than romney, so what is your point or do you have to wait for a paper to print it.

Michael,

Just Kidding.

Michael1969 -- Your posts are what is known as "swoop and poop." You are barely rated a "troll" along with Stinky Cat Spanky in terms of proliferation, deflection, and insults. At least try to hide your desperation.

The rumor is donations are now going to congressional races, because the Big Money has already written Romney off. We'll know soon enough.

The election this year will focus on whether we can afford 4 more years of Obama.

Here are the Deficit figures for the last 5 Presidents - with a link to the official government source to verify;

Reagan (1981-1988) = $1.339 Trillion over 8 years, or $167 Billion per year.

Bush 1 (1989-1992) = $933 Billion over 4 years, or $233 Billion per year.

Clinton (1993-2000) = $320 Billion over 8 years, or $40 Billion per year.

Bush 2 (2001-2008) = $2.006 Trillion over 8 years, or $251 Billion per year.

Obama (2009-2012p) = $5.333 Trillion (Proj) over his first 4 years, or $1,333 Billion per year. That's $4.6 Trillion more than Bush spent in his first 4 years.

If Obama is reelected, he projects another $5 Trillion of Deficits in the next 4 years, or over $10 Trillion which our children and grandchildren will have as a 'millstone' around their necks for their entire lives. Running up huge debts is a great way to 'pander for votes', but somebody will have to pay it back (our children) - with interest. Here's the official government link - See Table 1.3;

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Historicals

PS – Let's also look at the 'JOBS' picture under Obama;

The total average number of people employed in 2008 (Bush's last year, including losses at the end of 2008) = 136,790,000.

The total average number of people employed in 2011 (Obama's 3^rd
year) = 131,359,000 – that's a LOSS under Obama of 5,431,000 net jobs.

Here's the Link to official Bureau of Labor Statistics site on employment to verify - Compare jobs for 2011 vs 2008;

ROY,

Why is it that during Obama his deficit total matches the increase to the National debt while you show Bush 43's total to be much less than the increase to the National debt?

It appears you, like Bush, are using "smoke and mirrors" in the accounting/bookkeeping.

Romney is kind of like a marble in a tin can going like hell but never see's the obvious

Okay ladies - Ann is leading the way!

Get on your gingham aprons and pose in front of the stove and give us a smile!

What possible problems could women have?

It must be 1975 and the audition for Stepford Wives .

OK, Katheryn. You get out your babyvac and free birth control pills when Obama passes through.

N Loves USA its nice to have a choice correct, suppose a law was passed that required you to have an abortion if the child was deemed defective, would you support the loss of your right to choice then. And really birth control pills again, do you not have any understanding the government is not paying for that right but you are when you purchase health insurance. What about the right of men to have free viagra through their insurance, what do they do with it once they have it for more than 4 hours

Tis, I do not agree with the federal government having any say in what has to be included in my health insurance plan. And "no", I don't think I should have to buy a policy that would include ED meds for men either. Why would I? I just want a plan that will prevent me from going bankrupt in the case of a major injury or illness. That's not going to be an option anymore. Yes, I would like a "choice" in that matter. Apparently, the only choice that the left offers for women is regarding whether or not to abort.

I think we were all better off when you paid something to visit the Dr and you paid something (co-payment/deductible) when there was a major medical issue, but that the amount you would have to pay overall was limited. In the first place, alot of "health issues" would no longer be considered as such. We wouldn't have ads in all the media telling us how we have undiagnosed "whatever" and need to contact our doctor to find out if this pill or that shot is right for us. People would not be rushing to the emergency room for a hang nail. If you really look at it, we were far healthier as a society when we didn't have the government, the AMA, and anyone else with an opinion telling us how to live, what to eat, what pills we need. You do realize that abortion happened long before Roe vs Wade, and the difference was that people did not expect the insurance, nor the government to pay for it. If that was a women's choice, then it was up to her and her family to make the necessary arrangements financially. Don't even get me started on the whole Viagra thing....talk about a war on women...

N Loves USA so an insurance company should be able to cancel you if you become to expensive, should be able to deny you if you have an illness that could bankrupt you. If you have insurance you are already paying for ED medication for men. Does your health insurance include coverage for say Cancer and lets say hopefully you do not have cancer, so why are you paying for it. How much do you think birth contol cost vs all the births in hospitals would cost and would that not be included in your insurance even though you are not having a baby. As I understand it you will still have a choice of policies depending on the insurance company you select you are not mandated to purchase government insurance. Or is your view purely a religious choice, again there is that word choice. It seems you want it both ways just so long as you have choice and not anyone else. You do know that having birth contol covered by health insurance companies would become a choice for a person purchasing it, as now it is not offered at all. Again choice. We all need to have it and it should not be based on anyones faith which again is a choice. For now.

N Loves USA - I never mentioned birth control or abortion. What on earth has that got to do with it? The key phrase was Stepford Wives

I was thinking more along laws requiring women to prove they were "forcibly" raped - if you didn't fight back,it's not really rape.

or Republicans in Maryland, saying they should cut HeadStart funding because women should stay home and raise their kids and then programs like HeadStart would be unnecessary

or GA requiring victims of rape,stalking or domestic abuse to b declared "accusers" instead of victims of abuse until the defendant is charged. But burglary,assault and fraud are all still considered victims - just crimes against women are affected

or the WI proposed legislation to label single motherhood as child abuse,'cause only a male can offer discipline and structure

or the WI Representative suggesting that rather than divorce an abusive spouse the wife should remember all the nice things about why they married the man.

Sounds like we are trying to go back to the perceived "good ol' days" when women knew their places.

Stepford wives.

Had nothing to do with birth control or abortion.

Sadly isn't that just normal political strategy?

whine

What a brilliant Republican strategy. Destroy the economy with rampant spending, tax cuts, and lack of oversight of the financial industry during the last Republican presidential administration. Then blame the Democrats for not fixing the mess they created in 8 years in 3 years.

But the repukes want to be like Greece. That's their favorite right wing talking point, you know, We are going to be like Greece. LOL

Did you read today's article in the NYTs regarding a Bain colleague's economic theories? Seems he believes extreme income inequality is good for the nation as a whole, as concentrating more wealth in the hands of the 1% allows them to invest in riskier ventures, as they can afford to gamble big, thus leading to technological breakthroughs like iPhones and .... I don't know, iPhones.

I'm assuming this is Romney's point of view as well, based on his great experience, investing other people's money in companies he can breakdown, sell off the parts of, and stick the government with the workers' pension fund obligation. From the Romney position, it all works slick!

Lets all focus on one, inconvenient truth

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-factory-orders-decline-15-in-march-2012-05-02

Durables decline by four percent. Anybody catch the connection between that fact and the increase in initial claims for unemployment?

Gee, I wonder how many people will have dropped put of the labor force this month- you know, just to keep the unemployment numbers down?

OUWHINE,

The democrates had the majority in congress in 2007, then the white house and congress from 2008 till 2010 and now just the white house and senate.

And you still find room to blame it all on republicans.

Amy,

Other articles are point out that at times of great wealth disparity we also see times of great political divide and individual disgust with the government, companies and institutions in general – as reflected in polls for the past few years.

MRWSR, keep in mind that the dems have the blue dogs to deal with you know the not really sure who we are part of the party. I believe they had some influence on the years the dems controlled the house. One thing you have to credit the GOP on is their ability to remain single minded.

Limited Government. Not so single minded.

Thanks for giving the blue dogs a shout out. Please tell you friends here to leave the economic woe's to them and leave us that are "Single minded" out of the equation.

MRWSR we are trying to leave you out of the equation but like a bad smell you just keep hanging around. Oh and what is this about limited Government seems like the right has gone all out to intrude into our lives like never before even eliminating democracy and appointing city czars. Keep feeding the fish you may join them someday.

Tis,

Jumping on the bleeding heart bandwagon?

You have it backwards. The same claim that is not true. The progressive left is the true testament to intrusion and social justice. Stop with the lies. No Government dependency.

MRWSR, can you explain Michigan then and the city take overs by the Republican Governer, can you explain government forced medical exams not required by a doctor, laws against doctors if they fail to follow the new laws, forcing the reading of documents to patients by doctors written by the government, republican government or is this all fantasy, what intrusions into the doctors offices and city governments by democrates do you have.

Don't live in Michigan. So really can't comment on what they are doing. But I have to sit through the HIPPA laws too. Because the lawsuits have killed the medical profession and ACA is only making it worse. Never heard of forced testing.

Democrat es or more the progressive left, not only want separation of Church and state, but church separation from everything. Plus they carry the banner of "pay for my needs". You can not mandate social justice. I watched msnbc the last night for a minute and saw students (don't know where they were) but they had signs saying free education, free contraception. Tell me that won't cost somebody. If I have to pay for that, then please agree that, that is an intrusion.

MRWSR, HIPPA has not killed the medical profession, it simply protectshealth information of individuals and have I heard of forced test why yes and I am sure you have too vaginal probing for one, and which party has been pushing these types of forced medical procedures and policies. Not the left dear sir. Not sure about your reference to ACA making it worse can you explain how. As for Church and state it should be seperate and from everything. Religion is a deeply personal choice and should be that way for everyone, You should not be able to force your religious views or practices on me and I you. If I did not believe in God should I be able to deny you your faith. I don't think so, so why should you be able to force me to live you your religious choice. Now social justice being mandated please do some research on Michigan and the emergency manager law and how is suspends elected officials in cities and hand total authority to a single individual and then describe communisum to me. Signs saying free education now I will give you this one and go one further, should a property owner with no children pay for public schools through property taxes. Free contraception I believe that one was the right to purchase health insurance that would be required to offer contraception. Nothing I read was about free contraception except the right trying to make that the issue which it was not. It was about requiring insurance companies to provide that service but you still had to purchase an insurance policy. Still not sure free education is an intrusion and into what, but right now a free college education is not going to happen period. and Public education is not free either starting with kindergarden. Anything can be taken to far and usually is. We do not seem to be able to find the middle on anything these days.

Tis,

We can go back and forth all day.

Hippa was created out of lawsuits. I don't care what Michigan does, it sounds like is done on a state level. Even in my state I went against a republican bill that went to far on testing. But have never once heard of forced test.

As far a church is concerned, its best I stay out of it. My belief is mine, I know that. But it is protected and can not be infringed upon. So I won't compromise or force my faith on you. But will not be told when and where I can do it.

I see a society of give me and excess. We can do one of two things. Let the Government fix it and take care of us or we can cut the government in half and turn back to the people.

MRWSR I have no issue going back and forth that is how you debate an issue. You should care about Michigan and how far it could go, right now it is in Michigan but when does it come to your state or mine. It is a national issue. Question you are more than right our belief is yours, how are you being told when and where is it not a personal exerciseinternally, do you not have a church you attend please explain how you are limited. Government is designed to fix somethings in society that society can not fix itself. How can the people fix what they broke when they can not agree on the simplest of issues, we are too divided right now to fix anything you and I demonstrate that here. Example you can not have rule of law without a Government to administer it. You can not have a free society without a Government, we are not yet evolved enough for self regulation or we would not have crime. Today we all demostrate why it can not be turned back to the people, if we did it would become tribal rule. I agree things are broken we have a belief we are due anything we want that we are entitled to it. That is wrong no issue but we the people did that on our own, Government did not create it, we did. Parents did our parents did and they are now. So how do we the people fix what we broke, we are the government or should be.

The only poll that matters is the poll on election day.

Sorry Bob---your beloved governor is known outside his state mostly for his support for a law that would require transvaginal probes. Well, that and his quest to become the VP nominee. There is no way around it.

Bob in Vagina who cares how popular Bob is in Vagina land on the national scene, well lets just say he is better to stay at home.

The Republican polls of Fox and Rasmussen has Mitt beating President Obama! Wow who would have guess that!!! Please tell me that is not all you have?

President Obama 2012

I always thought njnb was RWNJ poll dancer. I guess Bob took her spot.

Bob, We haven't even reached the conventions yet... let's give it a rest.

That's sad.

Rasmussen has a known R + 5.9 bias.

Let's look at these 3 pollsters from 2008. We'll hit late April/Early May timeframe.

So...if you actually put your faith in either of those 3 specific pollsters, you are going to cry yourself to sleep in November.

Republicans are going to get beat up this cycle, and they're going to do well next mid-terms. It's the emergent pattern.

In presidential years, Democrats vote. In non-presidential years, they don't.

See how simple that is to break down?

A certain truth to the voting habits of conservatives and liberals....There is a great hue and cry to make sure everyone is enfranchised by the liberals prior to a national election. Not to put the blame on the voters entirely, you don't see that same enthusiasm for drumming up voter turnout during the mid term cycles. The cheerleading just isn't as staunch....Conservatives tend to view voting in terms greater than their person gain, as a measure of their expression of constitutional privelege and freedom.

Oats,

Its tax cuts for everyone. So the rest of your questions are mute.

MRWSR so who pays for these tax cuts, who will suffer the most under GOP rule and how many times does it take before you realize tax cuts are not the answer to reducing the debt and do not create jobs. If they did would we not have low unemployment now.

Are you following me.

Who will pay for the tax cuts?

Reducing the size of the Federal Government, Strong cuts in spending and the power of small business handed back to the men and women who start them.

The unemployment now is a product of your King to keep his throne and keep you dependent on them for everything. So enjoy your freebies and your income tax return.

Specifics, please.

Where are we reducing the size of federal government to pay for these new tax cuts?

We still haven't reduced it enough to pay for the Bush Tax Cuts. Are we going to try to cover that gap, too? So paying for 2 sets of tax cuts (Bush and Romney's)? How much money will my taxes be reduced, and what will I be giving up?

Not slamming you, just curious on what you think could be cut by 2T/year.

Think about it like this, if we just cut 1% of all the federal agencies, that would be about $360 billion. I would cut across the board (yes, even defense). I would cut out the education and labor departments. Not sure why you keep saying how we are going to pay for tax cuts. You don't over spend or grow government. That's how we will get out of this hole. It is through tax cuts and stopping government growth and spending cuts.

No, what I'm saying is...you want to balance the budget AND provide tax cuts.

That would have a net bill of 2T/year.

1% of federal agencies...

I can't see how we reduce unemployment by firing people.

Honestly there is going to have to be sacrifices by all to get balanced. It will be awhile before we can get there. I use the 1% to show how much we currently spend on the government. We can stand to lose some government jobs. Private sector is our only real hope of growing our economy. The government is not going to create jobs. More are being fired in that sector every day.

Well yes, Private sector is necessary to grow the economy. That's not debateable.

The question is, how do we provide more tax cuts and try to balance a budget? Romney's/Ryan's plan actually increases the annual deficit significantly...

It's not regulation, it's demand :) We need to foster domestic demand for domest products. We either lower our costs(impossible), or we increase foreign goods cost. Artificial supply suppression.

MRWSR, "Honestly there is going to have to be sacrifices by all to get balanced." Then why give the largest tax cuts to the richer portion of our society. Now before you go off the deep end. A straight accross the board tax cut of say 5% for a $50,000 dollar income is $2,500.00 and for a $1,000,000.00 income it is $50,000.00 so who stands to gain the most here. Again you can not cut government without increasing unemployment which in turns cuts the amount of taxes collected along with the tax cut. Oh and military spending has already been cut. So Government does not create jobs so when we cut government spending and lay off people from their goverment jobs they don't count as jobs right. Why are more being fired in that sector if we are not already cutting spending. What is wrong with a balance approach, cut spending and increase taxes, you going to tell us trickle down works, what have we been doing the last 30 years. If it works so well why do we have high unemployment and the rich are richer than ever in history, were are the jobs they created.

Tis,

Thank you for the rant. Got some emotion in there.

Look at it like this. Balanced means sacrifice. Bye, Bye government jobs. Sorry. Good bye Department of Education and Labor. Goodbye over spending. Fair tax across the board. New tax code with no capital gains or death tax. I can keep going it you want me to, but think you are going to start writing you sign for your next ows rally.

The loophole closure would mean that there wouldn't be the travesty printed in the liberal press about major corporations like General Electric paying absolutely nothing in taxes, which in turn should go a long way to making everyone feel better, because everyone truly has to pay a share.

MRWSR, now don't go getting testy on me. You are the one who claimed government does not create jobs not me so how can you fire government employees if they do not have government jobs, your claim not mine. Then you use the word Balanced of sacrifice I only see Government employees sacrificing by your standards, they are people only doing a job to support their families. Dept of education supports school districts around the country with money for programs so we need to cut those out and put more people out of work, I do not see your sacrifice yet. Dept of labor yea lets make sure that Coporations guard our rights of employment oh we can leave that to the states right except they get funds for the DOL so there goes more jobs right. Of course now is the best time to lay off everone so they can sacrifice for you. And just how is that working in Spain and Greece ya second round of recession just when does depression kick in. And you are still cutting taxes capital gains and death tax, gee who does that benefit. You are telling me a lot about you now.

Tis,

You will never get it. You only see the government as the answer. I meant the the government can not create private sector jobs. Sacrifice, by cutting programs. The department of education is a joke and schools suffer for it. Department of labor is an extension of the unions (that is actually what hoffa jr. said) watch the money trail there.

In cutting the captital gains and death tax, you said who does that benifit. Everyone. Get off the governments milk. I am sure the people who leave unemployed will fit right in with some group. They are growing while the private sector is shrinking. What about their families.

MRWSR, I am not on Government milk I do not benefit from Government Social programs. Capital gains and death taxes at what income level do those take effect you have to have capital gains before you can pay it. death tax you have to inherit a certain amount befor you pay it. Leave unemployment some how we have it in our minds that people enjoy being on unemployment don't know any myself. Ever been on unemployment how far does it go to support your current way of life. You had to have a job to get it and most likely you paid into it. Really you care what hoffa Jr thinks. No lets go with your idea, lets go back to child labor, unsafe mining, unsafe working conditions, sweat shops, lets make sure our corporations make more money than they do now, who cares if a few people are killed in the process that jus the way it is right. I know their are things that are wrong so I do get it but you only see government as being wrong with no right. So how do you think we would do without a government in this world of ours. How long would we last, what kind of life would we have without it. Total freedom yes but how long.

Eureka!

Get rid of corporate gains tax completely and tax it like earned income (it's new anyways), and revert taxes to Ike's era. 90% top-rate for earners over 500K!

Lower business taxes.

And voila. It's now better RoI (Return on Investment) to keep the money IN the business. AKA - hiring, manufacturing, growth, etc.

Now let's talk about balancing this budget of ours...on the backs of IMPORTERS (China, Japan, etc). Gimme gimme some tariffs or produce it right here in the good old USofA.

Interesting but still no cogent answer to the question. Is the idea to lower taxes on the wealthy so that they will invest and start the trickle, or is it a smoke screen to simply lower taxes yet again for the wealthiest Americans? Eliminating big chucks of the federal Gov. results in those functions being done at State and Local levels. That doesn't make them free. Take schools, federal monies and much of State monies have already dried up causing local BOEs to go to their town fathers looking for property tax raises to make up the difference. Property taxes are regressive. Many seniors own their homes outright but are on fixed incomes, and cannot afford to pay additional property taxes, but that's how we pay for public education, especially when the dollars from the federal and state gov. disappears. If we are to continue to fund important stuff like public education some one has to pay for it.

Y'all are hopless. You can not think outside the Government box.

obama has created over 150,000 federal jobs.

A fair tax is based on what you make. Everybody pays.

Small business pay about 35% right now, that needs to be 20 to 25.

Captital gains - why double tax income. It is only to support the monster in Washington.

Death tax - you should never have to pay for an inheritance. Just wrong.

Tis you really think we are going in the right direction under obama and there is nothing I can say to change that.

Not just Obama.

True Blue Virginia.

S & P is reflective of trends in the world markets and is not confined to what happens in the US. What exactly are we exporting??? It seems that we cannot produce anything at a lesser cost than our foreign trade competitors. If those export figures include jobs, then I would say they are very conservative, but it they do not, I say that they are most generous....And by 4 million private sector jobs....why are new unemployment claims continuing to upswing? Why are wages still stagnant, as a more competitive job opportunity market usually drives up salary to attract and keep the best and brightest? And your statistics do not speak to the underemployed, people earning half or less of what they were in previous jobs.

Always division from the left. "Women's issues". Sorry, but I don't appreciate the federal government inserting itself in my health insurance. The state government is bad enough. I don't want an abortion, don't agree with the "equal pay" crap....just another way to hinder job growth even more.

N Loves USA, so women should not be paid the same as a man doing the same work right? You do not like the federal government in your health insurance so how is this happening? You do not want an abortion welcome to the right of choice, and just how is the left dividing on Womens issues, these are republican laws being passed that remove the choices of Women and their health care so back to your not liking government in your health insurance. Nice circle there.

Tis, I don't think that anyone has a "right" to the same salary as someone else who has the same job title. People are individuals and bring different things to the table. Give people another reason to sue their employers....that just means fewer jobs and less pay.

How is the government in my health insurance? They are requiring through obamacare that everyone buy a more beefed up policy than I currently have. This means more money. What happened to my "choice"? I guess my only choice is to abort or not abort. I don't like the "change".

Loves: to paraphrase Jack Nicholson - who don't have choice, you can't handle choice. For most people it's their employer who has the choice. And what exactly is beefed up by your standards? Is it no co-pays on annual physicals? Free prostrate screenings? What is it exactly?

N Loves, so you are alright with standing on an assembly line standing next to a man doing the exact same job in the exact same conditions at the exact same rate of production, been on the job just as long as you, and he gets more pay you have no issue with that. It alright because the will ensure more jobs. The health care act only requires you to have insurance it does not require you to purchase plan A or plan B, just that you have insurance so as the right likes to complain I don't have to pay your bill when you get sick. And abort no you do not have that choice it is gone sorry you have to have the child even if it is due to rape. No choice all gone.

I am a woman. I have never felt discriminated against for my gender and I've work since age 16. I once worked for a company that gave performance bonuses at the end of the year. Busting your ass could bring in a bonus of up to 17% more than your salary. Slacking would get you no bonus. The new CEO decided that we "were a team" and would share the bonus equally (he announced this at the end of the year). The slackers were thrilled with the extra money. I found a new job and so did a lot of others. The company quickly changed the policy back and got a new CEO....one who wasn't a socialist.

^That's what I think of "equal pay". The same job title doesn't mean you bring the same talents/work ethic to the table. People are individuals and an employer shouldn't be required to pay people the same. If you don't like your salary, talk to your employer. If you don't like the results, find another job.

N Loves , that is not equal pay that is incentive pay. Equal pay is for equal work not gee I work and you sleep and we get paid the same. That issue is on the employer, but if you are standing toe to toe then you deserve the same base pay, if you perform better and the company has an incentive pay program then that is a bonus until they like the person next to you and pay him more even though you are working harder, and just going out and finding a different job is not that easy today.

Instead of bitching about cutting funding to education, maybe you should look into the budget of your local school district. Mine takes in about $10,000 per student every year. The private schools charge under $4,000 per student per year. You can throw money at schools all day long, but that doesn't fix anything. There are major problems with public education and Democrats won't touch them because the teachers unions fund their campaigns so heavily.

Waiting For Superman is a great documentary about this problem. It was actually made by a liberal who had his eyes opened when he had kids.

Debbiemsnbc, you have a problem with Mitts wife wearing a $1000 T-shirt, but failed to mention Moocheles $2400 cocktail dress(probably bought at Target, right) she wore to the State of the Union speech. But its okay for the first family to go globe trotting and dress shopping on the public dime because, " the American public knows how hard they work". Besides we all saw the "photo-op" shot of the first lady in a baseball cap and sunglasses, in Target pushing a shopping cart, so she's one of "us", right? And if Moocheles dress put a crimp in the Obama family budget, they probably cut back on household expenses, like food. Moochele has her garden out back, and Barry trolled the neighborhood for stray dogs...............

But back to topic of this "news vine" and First Reads "hack job" miss-leading LEAD. Romney "pivots" after spending the day "focusing" on Osamas death. Really "First Lie", it was Obama who is trying to get re-elected on the back of a year old corpse, and "pivoted" off the economy. How many "press" reports did we get leading up to, and after Osama's "death anniversary"? MSNBC "First Read", Garrett Haake(HACK), being a news reporter USE to be an honorable profession, maybe you should try another profession, like writing fictional books.

whats debbie the liberal bigot HYPOCRIT have to say about obama and moochelles lavish lifestyle - AT THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE???

every time they wake up - they see the lies of the democrats maze - and the smarter ones see that the Teaparty - oops I mean Teabaggers have the right idea
