Subscribe to RSSPresident Obama closes the month of May with a -22 score in the NBC News/NBCPolitics.com Voter Confidence Index -- an improvement over last month, but more evidence that voters’ confidence in him has flattened out.
Carolyn Kaster / AP
President Barack Obama walks through Hyde Park in Chicago.
He hit a low of -63 in September following the debt-ceiling crisis. That steadily climbed to -21 six months later by March.
What is the VCI and how is it calculated?
But for the past four months, Obama has been stuck in the 20s: -26 in February, -21 in March, -27 in April, and -22 in May.
President George W. Bush was reelected in 2004 narrowly with a -11 score. Bill Clinton won in 1996 with a +18. George H.W. Bush lost with a -84. Jimmy Carter lost in 1980 with a -72.
Obama isn't in as bad shape as H.W. Bush and Carter, but he isn't quite yet at even Bush's 2004 level.
The VCI is a combination of three questions commonly asked in national polls -- the president’s job approval rating, direction of the country, and generic congressional ballot (which tracks voter preference between parties rather than individual candidates). Equal weight is given to all three questions. We take the difference between two sets of numbers in each question and add them up.
In the VCI, a positive (+) measurement is generally a good sign for the president’s party while a negative number (-) is not.
For more on the VCI, including history, how it's calculated and which polls we use, click here.

Numbers don't lie... the country has finally figured out we can no longer trust a neighborhood organizer's ability to fix the economy! He may be cool to some... but cool isn't part of the job description of POTUS! Vote for real 'change' and 'hope' it's not too late!
At least Obama has the Supreme Court ruling on his precious Obamacare to look forward to this month. That should lift his spirits!
I don't think the Supreme Courts confidence level on Obama or his onerous health plan is very high either... Barry may asking carrot top for her boiler maker receipe before this is all over... lol!
No surprises here. More and more American's are finally waking up to the fact that giving a wonderful speech doesn't solve the nation's problems.
Obama 2012 It could be worse
Give me four more years and I'll prove it
It's going to be almost impossible for the Liberal Media to spin Obama's presidency into a success. They can't tout jobs, can't tout healthcare, can't tout Dodd/Frank, Can't tout stimulus I, Can't tout "green jobs", can't tout Gay Pride in the military. Let's just move on and elect a better leader who can work with the House and Senate...
There are two choices, Obama or Romney. Obama has a record- flawed, but honest and forthright. He is strong on National Defense and will not get us in any more wars. Romney is not trustworthy. He is a liar and a chicken hawk. Aside from Romney's lack of experience he also appears to be a soulless mannikin, hollowed out inside. How can you possibly trust what he is going to do?
It's difficult at best to have positive numbers in relation to voter confidence when the entire GOP House does everything possible to go against the president.
The presidents worst showing was when the GOP House was trying to hold the country hostage during the debt ceiling debacle that they caused. For the first time in history our credit rating went below the top mark. All the while the GOP House wanted to blame the president because he refused to be manipulated by them.
People in this country aren't as ignorant as the GOP wants to believe. People across the country will not only support the president with a second term, they will probably also drop a lot of dead weight TPGOP members from the House as well.
I'm glad to see that Rub is up on the GOP/Romney theme. But that alone proves nothing. Obama isn't running for CEO and no matter how much Romney and the GOP are cut from the Calvin Coolidge mold (and he's quite moldy by now), government is not purely a business. What Romney needs to address are how his proposed polices address the competing interests of ALL Americans. Unlike a business you can't fire the workers you don't like. And unlike a business, you can't have favorites and expect everyone else to just suck it up. The solution is not a balance sheet of cutting costs. What I don't hear from Romney is that he is capable of representing All Americans. His plan is to reform Labor Laws is code for making right to work a national policy. This even though we are not in a period of protracted labor strife, strikes or threats to employers. What this is is simply a gift to northern industrial companies to void their union agreements to enrich their profits. 23 states are already RTW, so there is no impact on them whatsoever. Romney and Mormons must religiously hate unions. If you read his proposals and his business history carefully, he is anti union going back to the start of his business career. There is no room for collective bargaining or free association within Romney's world view. In his world the business owner is boss and that's the end of the discussion.
Nomorosameo - dude could have at least tried to fix stuff when he has a democratically controlled House and Senate but he did not. But hey, we got Obamacare [at least until later this month].
So you see my man, he had his chance, he made bad choices, and no he pays.
Life is hard, and never fair.
But you know that already.
So far this morning, there are over 300+ comments on FT's & this thread.
The strange thing is, there is not one from any of the right wing nitwits, either telling us why they support Willard or what Willard's plans are should he be elected!
All we get is juvenile, irrational, hate filled raving, bashing any & all things President Obama!
Good luck winning the swing votes with this brilliant strategy! lol
By human nature, people are more willing to embrace Hope & Change over Doom & Gloom, so by all means keep on showing America what the GNOP is all about!
No one wants Obama anymore ....
He's been nothing short of a complete disaster ....
Monday, June 04, 2012
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Mitt Romney picking up 47% of the vote, while President Obama attracts 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided ....
Obama has to go ASAP ....
For sure, as we all know running trillion dollar deficits will create jobs, well, maybe soon. And we all know that Obama stimulus bills will get us to 6% unemployment, well, except unemployment is 8.2% and rising, must just be a minor blip. And we all know the federal government will direct industry to produce more and more goods and services, currently at a 1.9% GDP rate - and that's about a third of what Bush's administrations was putting out, so that's a really decent number.
All is well in Obama Land.
Obama/Biden - The magic will happen . . . . soon
carrot top, there are many reasons Romney is getting stronger... you just can't read the 'message'. It is the libbies that fail to come up with a reason that Obama deserves a second term after he made such a mess the first time!
Tell us carrot top.... exactly what has Barry done to get a second chance???? And please don't use the tired 'but he killed Osama bin Laden' thing! Or the well used 'he didn't do as bad as Bush did', come up with something real carrot top... please!
I was so sure John Kerry was going to win in 2004. Thanks to all the polling that showed Kerry ahead, including exit polls, I was confident the Democrat would win - and then, he didn't.
I take everything the media says with a huge grain of salt. This Voter Confidence Index sounds like something the media came up with to keep themselves busy. I've seen Romney in person. He's a lousy candidate, put that in your Index.
They're all giddy this morning Feisty, they finally got some news they can spin. Even though it doesn't mean much, I guess when you're a tea people Koch republican you grab onto any little tidbit of bad news you can no matter how small it is. Yes their doom and gloom is the best strategy for us Liberal Democrats, well along with Willard as their Presidential candidate.
The best part is still ahead, when we get to the debates!
All the fear & smear in the world will not save Willard's butt! lol
Mo, that's because the country has been in a 4 year malaise with obama in the White House! Any positive news to change that would make the most depressed American giddy! We look to get even giddier (lol) when Barry is sent packing in November!
Honest?
Obama lies about his spending record, lies about oil / gas production, lies about taxes, lies about Fast and Furious, lies about Solyndra .....
Forthright?
His whole term has been dedicated to blaming Bush, repubs & Congress, Supremes to ATMS, tsunamis to Europe .....
Other than the AF1 photo shoot over NYC, name one thing Obama has taken responsibility for.
He botched a draw down in a war that was already won (a war he had said couldn't be won), he has 5 times the loss rate as Bush in a lost war he said he would win, he got us in a war that had no national interest, he has given the keys to America's misslile defense to Putin and betrayed our friends ....and most importantly has been totally punked by Iran with their nuclear program.
The guy is a total package disaster.
Two choices?
What a joke ... there is no choice but to get rid of this incompetent fraud.
bob-1805084 - for once we agree. We definitely need to get rid of the incompetent fraud, Romney, once and for all. After what, three runs for President and never being able to articulate a single sentence, we should totally get rid of him. Send him packing. After all, he says nothing and has shown his is dishonest and dishonorable. He doesn't have a clue. So, come November we're going to send Mitt back home once and for all!
Obama/Biden 2012
From my post #1.3 above:
"More and more American's are finally waking up to the fact that giving a wonderful speech doesn't solve the nation's problems."
I was just reading today's WSJ and what does the article on Barry's plans after Friday's jobs report say will be his response??
"A campaign speech centered on the economy later this month."
It's too bad more hot air from a Barry speech won't get the economy growing.
Obama 2012 It could be worse
Give me four more years and I'll prove it
wait for debates. Romney could not deal with idiots like Bachmann, Santorum, and Pizza Guy Cain so it will be interesting to see Romney's head exploding when faced with President Obama.
The libbies are irked this morning. Just wait. Team Obama is just now beginning to show bad, 5 months away from the election and the tide will just get worse for Obama as we draw closer. Now the libbies want us to say why we support Romney while at the same time coming up with zero reasons for supporting Obama... at least reasons that are based in reality. The stark truth is, liberals have no reasons for supporting Obama other than he's of the same cloth as they are. Liberal/socialist/Marxist. He has practically no accomplishments... and the positive things he has done can fit in a thimble. Liberals simply don't like that. They don't like to hear it and it grates on their nerves. Ya know what? TFB!
I'll give you 2 reasons why Romney is better. He has governed a state and he does know what the dollar is all about. Two things Obama has never accomplished.
The empty suit named Obama is about ready to lose and there's nothing the libs can do about it.
SeekingSanity
All we have to remember is that Romney lost to McCain who lost to Obama. Romney wasn't liked then, and today he is just better than the idiots that the Republican Party could come up with: the Womanizer, The Welfare Queen, and the Vest Guy.
bayllie - it sounds to me like you are reaching. If you are under the impression that Romney won't be ready for the debates, you are delusional. Let's see if Obama arrives without his teleprompter.... if he has it, then people will see through that piece of glass... like a piece of glass.
One other thing... I can't wait to hear the answers on the economy from Obama when he's confronted with what he will do to improve it.... That will be a Seminole moment.
Amy B. Portland, ME
And I had the "pleasure" of having him as my Governor...He used Massachusetts like pimps use prostitutes. Got what he wanted out of it and then dumped it but it was good that he pretty much gave up on his office in 2006 to pursue his OTHER interests. He caused less damage to the state!
Brianb-999431
all you have to look at is all the stupid crap Romney says when he's off script - you know, being himself.
give up on the teleprompter already - is that all you got? again, Romney off script...not a pretty sight...
What's Romney going to talk about? Cannot talk about Massachusetts, cannot talk about Bain, what's left???
...oh, yes, tree heights....
BrianB- the teleprompter nonsense again? I thought - even those lacking in intelligence like you - knew that all modern President's have used teleprompters - including Regan. And, Romney has used them at some of his events - although it is hard to tell since he still can't get a sentence out clearly!
Our President will do well in the debates as he actually has something to say - unlike Romney who doesn't have a single plan and couldn't put a complete thought together if his life depended on it!
Obama/Biden 2012
We're 5 months out.
Mitt is working on gaining market traction, and not doing too poorly.
But we're still too far out for the President to actually start using his bully pulpit.
In october, you're going to see it honestly get brutal.
All this, these ad buys and such going on right now?
Foreplay for the 'steady, rythmic pounding' that Romney will suffer.
Shucks, they haven't even gone into Mormonism and Gordon Gekko yet.
It's all they got left...
Anyone with an IQ higher then a rutabaga knows teleprompters are NOT used during debates...
However, it doesn't seem to stop them about lying about it!
Then they wonder why they have ZERO credibility... lol
Bayllie - Sure Romney can talk about his job as Governor... while Obama can't cite any good things about his 4 years as president. You aren't looking at it objectively because all you see right now is how Obama is screwing up and you have no defense for that. Romney will set the record straight to the liberals that have all these false impressions of his job at Bain... Those two jobs set him so far ahead of Obama and I find it very humorous that it gets under yours and other liberals skin. You view everything as a negative when it comes to Romney... but your opinion of one of millions out there... and many disagree with you... perception has it that Romney is hands down better than Obama on many fronts.
I, for one, will enjoy it as team Obama sinks slowly and watching your angry reactions to it as the months tick on. For all your bravado and boasting.... Obama is going to go down.
Dumb Fux - the teleprompter is not all we got. We have many, many things... but since you like prerecorded presidential messages, that explains exactly where your brain power is. Nonexistent.
Come on Dumb Fux - start the cheers - HOPE AND CHANGE!!! Hope and change!!! HOPE AND CHANGE!!! Kinda nostalgic eh? Reminiscent of when Obama was on top and not heading towards the depths of the sea... ROFL!!!!!! Too bad for you... kinda hard to watch your bubble fizzle out. Can't help it that you chose the wrong team.
Voter confidence for Obama is flattening and will start to drop... this trend will continue until he's back home in Chicago!
Pride and Joy - President Obama will return to Chicago to live in 2017. And, we'll be glad to have him back!
Obama/Biden 2012
O BOO! HISS! OBAMA, finally in November we the people will finally have relief! Mitt Romney certainly has his work cut out for him, but i do feel he is up for the housecleaning Obama left him to do!
Chicago cannot afford any more free spending Democrats, nor can the state of Illinois....Why can't he go back to Hawaii where he grew up, or even further away would be nicer. It will take a quarter of a century for Illinois to recover with the Democrats we have.
In 2008 the Democrats could have given us a candidate that was up for the job, but instead they gave us Obama. A catchy campaign slogan and an ability to read a speech was all it took to dupe the country. Now the cat is out of the bag, Obama cost this country enormously for 3.5 years of failure. Obama has done nothing for 3.5 years but make excuses and assign blame for his failures. Leaders overcome obstacles, they don't spend their time making excuses for nothing be able to rise above them. Yes we can has been replaced by why we couldn't. If Obama had a record to run on he would. But Obama's negative campaign highlights a lack of confidence in the man that can only talk a good game.
Sue: Need I remind you of governors Thompson 3-4 terms, Edgar 2 terms and Ryan, 2 terms. Blago was the first Democrat to break the string and he had zero influence. There are just as many GOP politicians, judges, police and fire that are taking advantage of this system. Illinois has known for 25 years that the teacher pensions weren't being funded - it's how the budget was balanced as no one (both parties) wanted to raise taxes, cut their patronage armies (that's why Ryan sits in prison), or cut back on any project in their districts. I've never heard one GOP legislator complain that his or her district isn't getting the fair share of state project money. Now that the GOP has been able to convince enough voters that they the GOP are the saviours and that the state pensions are evil, they want to use it hypocritically for their political advantage.
Come on people, this is the third article today with the same title. That's your first clue of what's really going on in this country. First are ratings for news media outlets. This applies to all, not just FIXED News propaganda.
Then there is the private sector that are not hiring full-time permanent employees because they want to be able to fire people without having their rate go up for unemployment insurance. They love the cover of the economic crisis to gain advantage over labor. They are holding worker's jobs over their heads to overwork them, offering pay to new hires near poverty level for a family of four, and benefits -- what benefits?
Then there is the Teapublican Party with their constant lies and conniving. Riiight, like the president could change the culture in Washington all by himself. It takes two to dance, and the really sad thing is cooperation = prosperity. Teapublican obstructionists are solely responsible for economic stagnation.
Then there are the low-information rightwingers who have been brainwashed into hating our government and fellow citizens (and they call themselves "patriots"). Riiight, like it would be better for monopolies and multinational companies with allegiance to no country to run things. You can at least vote in elections for government, but you have zero say about what companies like Exon Mobil do.
News Flash -- Europe will not make any substantive change between now and the election. Unemployment is likely to go down due to companies trying to hire on contract or outsourcing to third parties (can't file for UI), and unemployment running out. Gas prices are likely to stay low because of lack of demand. Inflation is likely to stay flat due to lack of lending.
If the GOP/TP repeat the debt ceiling debacle, or the Bush tax cuts expire for the middle class because they continue to protect tax cuts for the rich their approval rating will go into the negative. Or worse if they continue to support spending on defense, and want to pay for these things by cutting programs and services for the average citizen, they will not being doing Romney any favors.
Romney cannot be the "generic alternative" nor can he just keep telling lies come debate time. The more people see his true colors, the less they like him. The more they understand his plan is not one of "trying something new" but rather the same failed GOP/Bush-era policies on steroids -- Of even more tax cuts for the rich, even more deregulation of Wall Street, even more deficit spending on defense, he will lose support.
Obama has failed and will try the same failed policies that has not only failed during his presidency but has failed whenever and wherever it has been tried. That's a whole lot of failing.
That alone is enough to elect Romney. He, at least, loves America and does not talk of fundamentally transforming our great nation. He has not and does not surround himself with leftist radicals who thinks America owes them something.
The entire world will breath a huge sigh of release when he is defeated. If for no other reason than the fact that Joe Biden will not be one breath away from the most powerful position on the planet.
Thank you right wing nut - for proving my point better then I ever could of!
None of us expect any of you idiots to prove your incessant bull@!$%#!
Tell me honey, what are you going to do on 11.7.12 when President Obama is re-elected handily?
So says someone who supported the stupid c*nt from AK? lmao!
There is time - and the economy is better than most think.
Mitt the MisFit has no chance.
Tell me fiesty, what warrants giving Obama another chance? His policies have failed. The economic recovery, anemic as it is, is in spite of him. The world thinks he's a joke and easily manipulated. He has pushed for no actions that may actually create an atmosphere for job creation. Instead he blocks job creation. He attacks our basic Constitutional rights. His DoJ is corrupt and everyone knows it. Everything he touches turns to crap. He comes across as an angry, arrogant little man with an ego problem.
Maybe you can explain to everyone why we should vote for him. Other than he's "historic" You may be a lap dog but most Americans recognize what he is.
The economy is not "better than most think". The economy teeters on the brink of collapse.
Feisty, Please.pretty please don't use that word.
Corrupted Politicians lies
GOP SCREW the American middle-class with Debt.
When Middle-Class Holds the NET DEBT=PRIVATE financial gains.(Vice-Verse) .
Believing that American are so Stupid to See what's happening ?
President Bush spend 2 wars (Off-Book ) trillions to Debt.
President Bush spend Tarp $700 billions(On Book Official ) $16 trillion (Off Book Official) Secret to bailout Corporation -To Debt.
President Bush spend $800 billions as Tax Cut for 1% to Debt
President Bush created Medicare part D : cost $500 billion to Debt
What President Obama did as President to be Big spender than Bush?
The budget projects a $1.3 trillion deficit cut this year, and $901 billion in 2013. But by 2018, the deficit is forecast to fall to $575 billion.
The President $787 billion economic stimulus package to Debt- What is Bigger than this $787 billion to Debt ? GOP you tell me !. If you had forgotten,its the "SENATE JOB" on President Budget that prepared all this expenditure.The President has NO right on spending ANY fund without Both House APPROVAL,except during national emergency.
Then what Qualify him as big spender?Some Project still yet coming to rolls in ,included, Bush Corporation bailout and GOP talking point -solydra all within this budget.
Infact he wanted to do the 4 trillion Cut-for a decade Who Opposed it?
Ans: GOP
So the troll from Roselle had no response. One would think that if you're going to pay a troll thay coulkd find someone a little smarter.
Interesting!
But, if you don't mind, I'll continue to watch the electoral map & not react to every blip on the radar!
Ran across this article, which sort of reinforces what I've been thinking for the last couple of weeks;
Now there's an objective focus group
Obama is getting hit every which way these days, poor guy, when it rains it poors!
I see confidence levels remain high for Ed Klein's book THE AMATEUR... still #1 on NY Times best seller list... I wonder if he sent an autographed copy to the White House!
Oh my - and this is why I love me some Feisty in particular, and libbies in general.
They really are that clueless.
So know one Feisty associates with is going to vote for Romney so of course there is no way he could win.
Too Funny.
The other day, I saw Romney interviewed on a CBS morning show. What a mess he made of the interview, however, the journalist was so very helpful in summarizing the contents to the news anchor afterward, neatly summarizing talking points Romney had totally failed to convey. It was really stunning to watch a professional journalist basically putting words into the mouth of the guy running for Commander in Chief.
Nothing new about that, seen it happen a hundred times before with nearly every candidate I can think of, including Obama.
You've apparently been spanking it to much in a dark corner somewhere Spanky and you refuse to see the light of day.
Bush left this country in the most dire straights since the great depression. The fact that another republican president left us in a similar position back then is not a coincidence. Trying to fix all of the problems in two years with a democratic House wasn't enough time. But we made huge gains in employment in spite of the GOPTP stranglehold that came in 2010.
People across the country have given the House the worst voter confidence in history. And you and others want us to elect one of yours to the top post in the country?! BWAHHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And David Axelrod thinks Obama is a really swell guy.
That about cinches it for Barry.
So will Obama think twice about sending ol'Dave out to give speeches again? Dave sure had a small problem reading his script in Massachusetts the other day.
Hey tea people Koch republicans, Matt Taibbi is one of you. Oh that's right, their one of you till they say something you don't like then their the enemy.
Where is the Confidence in Voters Survey? Based upon the posts here, I am beginning to think we have the densest voting bloc of all developed countries. Voting for Romney is voting for Bush polices that allowed a massive economic collapse, and here we have voters wanting that to happen again, again, and again. It makes absolutely no sense to me.
You mean this Matt Taibbi is a Koch Republican (whatever that is)? He is a LWNJ that writes for Rolling Stone you douche. No insult intended, just using some of Mr Taibbi's vernacular.
"Flattens"
whatever that means, but how about Romney? Once the American voters learn of his vows, I really don't think there will be much question.
Mittens Romney, "I pledge allegience to Grover Norquist above all else, even the interests of the United States."
Disgusting 1%er!
Only goes to prove that the Taibbi from Rolling Stone has been sampling some of the "green room goodies" - hope they don't have drug test there!!
I think you probably can find someone a little more reliable to quote Feisty, might give you better credibility, just sayin....
That is right!! O'Bummer is only popular with his relatives!! "The Amateur" has even snubed important people who supported him in "08." Not very smart is he!!
But you aren't racist, correct Carole?
God, people like you are so shallow and facile, I wonder how you get through the day.
Rolling Stone?
Typical leftist . Don't know squat about what is going on in the world. "Journalists" think Obama's already won? He should probably take a look at the polls conducted by the professionals.
Obama's sinking faster than Jimmy Carter.
But hey, Raul Castro's daughter endorsed him.
Keep praying/dreaming there mary...
But please excuse the rest of us out here in the real world if we go on without you.
Not everybody can exist in your alternative reality...
People who would vote again for Obama fall in one of three categories
1) racist
2) hate America
3) rabid ideologues
That's reality stupid.
For those of you - even the RWNJ's who only parrot what they hear from Limbaugh & Fox without understanding the meanings - who either don't, or have refused to understand what pledging to Norquist entails, allow me to offer this very short bit of information for your elucidation:
Even Jeb Bush has critisized Norquist and refused to sign his pledge!
However, Willard Mitt Romney, GOP/TEA candidate for President, HAS MADE THE VOW TO GROVER AND SIGNED HIS PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
There are purloiners among us who are out to do harm to America and her citizens and they are going by the name "Republican politician";
chief among them is Mitt Romney.
BEWARE.
So please tell us mary: do YOU support a Presidential candidate who has promised to Not Reduce our National Deficit? HMMMMM?
Do you even know what the CVI numbers mean Rub? I doubt it, they just look bad for the President so they must be good right. Your second sentence shows you are clueless.
Mo, a little testy today aren't we? lol
Better take those rose colored glasses off now. Time to grow up and accept reality!
Looks like Bill T falls in the same clueless category as Rub.
Mo - I think you are supposed to "reply" to their (Rub of the green) post to leave a comment, not start a new thread... so much for being "clueless"
The fact is that nothing could be worse than another four years of the OBAMINATION. This is the most divisive and corrupt administration our country has ever seen and needs to be flushed down the polictical toilet come November. Get out and vote for Romney………
Motherland- (kind of close to Der Fatherland don't you think?) You seem to have a rather limited imagination. "Nothing could be worse"- really? How about if Romney starts a couple more wars? Need I mention other possibilities? You idiots on the far right are completely out of touch with reality. You have completely swallowed the Koolade fed to you by your corporate and political masters. Probably only watch Fox. I hope you don't have children. Please do some outside reading and return when you have some coherent thoughts.
anaxgnosis - Motherland has a limited imagination AND intellect. She refers to the political toilet which of course the GOP put together. She has no clue to Mitt's plans since he has none. She regurgitates everything she has read from others and has no ideas of her own. Okay, now I see why she's for Mitt - two peas in a pod!
Obama/Biden 2012
SeekingSanity is yet again making a personal attack .... this time attacking the intelligence and imagination of "Motherland".
The article is about Obama and WANING voter confidence in his poor leadership. Why can't you give comments on the article without attacking the opinion of another ? Why must you try to "bully" ??
Of course, anaxgnosis at #4.1 does the same thing.... no relevant comments, only venom.
Hi jim - oh and it's Kirk too, right - since you post to both names. Motherland posted nothing factual - just her venom. So, grow up!
Is that the best 'ya got there, Insanity ? Deflection, deflection, deflection ......you attack others and then try to switch focus to me ? LOL !!
A). Kirk and I have different posting styles
B). Tyler, occasional moderator of this site, is quick to jump on re-registrations for this website.
Results: Epic failure by you while trying to DEFLECT FROM YOUR PERSONAL ATTACKS ! Nothing new is it ?
While this may be true, the obvious problem is the total lack of choices for POTUS. If not Obama, then Romney? Really? Seriously?
It's like neither party care enough to nominate anyone who has the background or ability to really lead.
If the choice is Obama or Romney, then its Obama if only because Romney offers no specifics, just slogans and retoric. He also seems ot have no ideas of his own - just uses and endorses everyone elses ideas ( Ryan, Tea Party etc ) He comes across like a puppet.
Sorry Pablo, but you are wrong. Romney has stayed on point throughout the campaign, focusing on the economy, jobs, deficit, and obama's horrible record for the last 3 plus years!
It is Obama that is all over the board... attacking Bain, while his finance chairman used to work for Bain (double standard), he has tried but failed to create the notion Romney is at war against women! That's a laugh.
What is Obama's message really? I think his message is : 'I'm confused and don't really know what the country wants me to do?'
Pride, Gov. Romney may have "stayed on point throughout the campaign," but can you (or anyone) really tell me what his PLANS are? Not his talking points; those along with the Democrat talking points and $1.50 will get you a medium coffee. I really, truly just want to know what his PLANS are so I can make an informed decision come December.
Not a democrat, not a republican, not a conservative nor a liberal. Just an American.
Pride - Romney has "stayed on point" for sure. He's never said a thing about what he would do - what plans he has - what his programs are. He's stayed on point by deliberately not saying a thing! And, you buy into that! What a moronic post. Romney continues to say nothing - not a single damned thing - but you'll vote for him!
Obama/Biden 2012
Annie - you bring up a very good point that I have been making for over 4 years. Define hope and change. Tell me one definition Obama placed on that buzz phrase. What were the specifics of Obama's campaign 4 years ago. What are his specifics now? All he is doing is attacking Romney... He's not stating anything he plans for the next 4 years... just like he did in 08. You want Romney to define his plans this early in the election, for what? To reveal to Obama what his game plan is? I don't think it's necessary as long as he continues on with his overall outline... I don't need specifics from him right now. He'll spell them out during the debates... that's when most candidates reveal their plans... except in the case of Obama, he never did reveal anything in 08 and useless idiots bought him hook line and sinker.
All of those who don't know what plans Romney has for this country go to his site and read it. The propaganda published by the media is NOT a good source of information. It's pretty clear reading to most Americans. In the meantime try to find out what President Obama's plan consists of . He's so all over the map, I can't actually figure out what he wants for this country.
Job creation is the best it has been since Reagan. Under George W. Bush there were no private sector jobs created. If we go back to his policies with Romney this country will be nothing but poor peope and the top 1 percent.
Like now?
LOL Jerry, that made me laugh!
You must stop purchasing your medications (drugs) from the dude in the cowboy hat on the corner. You will feel better soon after .
"The Amateur"......how profoundly accurate a description of this failed prez!
you have a weird idea of what "failure" is - we lost 4 million jobs in Bush's last year in office, and have been creating jobs every month for the last two years. I call that success, but what do I know? I thought times were pretty good under Clinton, when he left office with a surplus.
With a Republican Congress, WOW!
I'm not surprised that the President's voter confidence is unchanged in recent months---up until a few weeks ago the Republicans and their primaries, with constant bashing of the President, dominated the airwaves. We'll see how things are as the President gets into full campaign mode.
Full campaign mode? President Obama will have attended a record-setting 146 re-election fundraisers, counting last Friday 6 events.
abcnews.com
When, exactly, has he been OUT of campaign mode? You mean when he was flying around in AF1-or in his Big Black Bus- giving campaign speeches that we, the taxpayers,paid for because he claimed they were NOT campaign speeches?
So far as I can see, the ony time he's not campaigning and actually "working" is when he is personally giving the "kill" order on people. And their families, if they are unfortunate enough to be in close proximity to one of his "targets". Somebody want to tell him this is not a video game- and those folks are, actually, dead?
It's kind of strange- all the people who screamed about terrorists getting dunked in water have nothing whatsoever to say about Obama and his remote controll killing machine. I wonder why- or if you've even thought about the fact that, by using drones to kill people and their families, there's really no chance to get any intelligence from them.
All the way around, he is worse than Bush ever dreamed of being.
The President's daily schedule is published every day. I take a look at it most days to see what he is doing and on most days he is carrying out official duties, holding briefings, conferring with staff, etc. The most that ever happens is some days when President Obama does these official duties AND holds campaign events. But you folks keep on with your delusions---they'll help you get through the tough days after the President wins re-election.
This is history in the making. The first signs of a groundswell. The quiet beginnings of a political tsunami that will be of historic proportions. A tidal wave of discontent and disgust that will sweep all the Democrats, right down to dogcatcher, out of office, and into the unemployment lines they helped create.
People are truly pissed. They will have their say in November and vote straight Republican across the country. Common sense and decency will once again prevail throughout the land. This will be one for the history books.
Joseph - in your mind only. The tsunami in November will sweep Romney away from public office forever - thankfully! He is a goner come November and hopefully will - finally - accept that no one wants him in public office! Decency will prevail and we will dump as many of the GOP as possible so we can get the country back on track!
Obama/Biden 2012 - for the history books!
The last tsunami occurred in November, 2010 ! In those elections, Obama was politically "neutered" as Democrats were "shellacked" .... per Obama's own words. Democrats did not learn from that outcome.
Confidence? What confidence? Flattened? I guess the Titanic "flattened". Buckwheat doesn't stand a chance. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Landslide flush of the POS back to stank Chicago.
FORWARD down the toilet in November.
Jerry40yeardemocrat - first let's get one thing straight - you were NEVER a Democrat. You've always been a backward, head in the sand, Republican. And, you're "buckwheat" comment shows you're a pathetic excuse for a person on top of everything else.
I certainly hope you don't have children. We don't need any more children raised by morons like you. You show how intellectual the vast majority of the GOP is and it speaks volumes about you. None of what is says, however, is good!
Clearly you are already halfway down the toilet.
Obama/Biden 2012
Where are all of our right winger friends who cry about playing the race card now?
*crickets*
Any one of you have the balls to call this kind of crap out for what it is?
Any one...?
Your party must be soooo proud they no longer have to hide behind white sheets!
You are right. The Buckwheat comment was totally out of line and I would like to apologize. Buckwheat, I am so sorry I compared you to the POS potus. I knew when I wrote it that you had much more class and intelligence than Odumbo. Seeking Sanity too.
Seeking Sanity....You Just Can't Fix Stupid. Ask your mom & dad.
Why would you use a 'slur' like that?....Racist perhaps!
What do you mean racist? If I had called him Alfalpha it would have been fine because he's white. Or Larry, Curly, or Mo. You never thought I wanted to compare him to the dumbest character on Our Gang, just the black one. Who's racist you liberal waste of a mind? Typical Lib reasoning.
Ya think?
Tripling down in it isn't helping his argument!
Didn't think so...
Jerry, just go back to chasing kids off your lawn. You are out of your depth.
Obviously, they do not, Feisty. They never do and never will!
Yawn........
Get a job.
Jerry - as I've stated in the past and as idiots like you prove daily, I'm seeking sanity in the GOP but morons like you show there is absolutely none to be found in what used to be a decent party. The GOP lacks sanity, decency, intelligence and integrity - as you showed today with ever post you made! Oh, and my parents were always VERY proud of all of their children - not a dumb one in the family.
Obama/Biden 2012
Yeah. Right.
Get an education and off welfare.
Jerry: You Just Can't Fix Stupid. Ask your mom & dad, or was it your mom and brother.
Or was my dad and your mother?
Jerry40yeardemocrat, at this site the libbies enjoy throwing out the race card when they can't explain Obama's ineptitude! It works every time! And carrot top is the master of creating a racist issue when none exists!
Mark - the "race card" was thrown out because Jerry referred to the President as Buckwheat. What part of racist do you not understand?
seekingsanity, aren't we being a little thin skinned here? If you want to see truly racist remarks, please review libbie comments on Herman Cain a few months ago.... you will find a plethora of racist comments there to satisfy your faux outrage!
The silence from the right is deafening!
Where's all the poutrage on this?
Ummmm... NOPE!
It's called double standards, which, if it wasn't for them you right wing nuts wouldn't have any!
In other words, you're trying to spin your perceived two wrongs into a right - I got it now...
Mark - and none of it came from me. So, again, Jerry is racist! Got it?
Jerry40year: You're an idiot. If you don't have anything to contribute but your brashy comments get off this post.
Believe'nAmerica. Hope and Change. Forward. Sheesh! Bite me Your Lameness.
Feisty, I don't approve of people calling the President Buckwheat. I wish we could all be more civil we have become way to polarized.
Thank you Lisa - you give me hope...
You guys keep feeding the troll, he will keep coming back... you new at this?? rookies.....
It is always funny to see Republicans reaming on about how President Obama wasn't able to improve the economy. As if they think people really believe the economy was in great sharp when he started.
Any voter with an open-mind and an ounce of sense, know exactly that this economy and the jobs failures are all forced upon by Republicans, under the umbrella of Big Oil, Big Banks and Wall Street.
Supported by the no doing Republican Congress - As we all know. Republicans have major habits of causing a ruckus, major drama and hardship to its fellow citizens - just so they can blame it on the opposition in an effort to control America’s finances.
Energy Prices!!! For the past 9 years has stripped away - money, jobs, and livelihoods of hard working Americans.
And it is the REPUBLICANS that won't do anything to change it... simply because they think it will cause idiot voters to blame POTUS and vote for Romney.
Gas price people - as long as these prices are 3/4 the cost of the minimal wage - our economy will never grow.
As well - Politicians need to realize - that money from interest groups and the wealthy... won't mean crap. If 99% of Americans seems that they are the only ones getting a break or a helping hand from you!
In other words ladies and gentlemen - TALK IS CHEAP!!!
TRUTH - not Crap
Thank you and GOD BLESS AMERICA
Call 911! This one must have mainlined the kool-aid and it lobotomized him.
Jerry- and you're clearly mainlining drugs. It shows in each post you make.
What an intelligent comment. Now, quit playing with the computer and go back to coloring in your book.
The recovery from a recession requires jobs. Many of the jobs we used to depend on to generate demand and lift us out of the recession have gone overseas. Try finding cookware or appliances made in this country. The high tech company I work for has 30% of our workforce in India, and they want to increase it to 50%.
When Romney talks about jobs - what jobs is he talking about? Tax cuts won't get those jobs back here because the main reason for going overseas is reduced labor costs. Paying someone half to a tenth of what they pay people here is a much bigger cost differential than the tax savings if they eliminated corporate taxes altogether.
There is no longer any patriotism in the corporate boardroom. Henry Ford knew you had to pay people decent wages so they could drive the economy - todays corporate executive doesn't know that fundamental rule and is only interested in his/her next bonus. They would rather move operations to communist China than help their neighbors. Steven Jobs has iPhones made in China paying (essentially) slave labor 40 cents an hour and charges us over $400 for one.
Rollerball, here we come. Jonathon! Jonathon! Jonathon!
Lets look at Obama's legacy. A two-bit community organizer, a run for Illinois Senate bankrolled by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, losing Illinois senate race until Chicago style politics unearths divorce records of opponent. The Hope and Change president, $6 trillion in new debt in 4 years, most ever by any President or world leader, ever! Which results in 2% growth and 8+% unemployment and nearly half the country receiving a government check.
That two-bit community organizer kept our economy from tanking after he was elected following the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. That two-bit community organizer restored our standing in the world and managed to oust Qaddafy without putting boots on the ground, unlike Bush who lost thousands of lives, and spent trillions, ousting Saddam.
Maybe we should recruit amongst commnuity organizers for our Commander in Chiefs more often?
Obama will go down as the worst president in the history of history ....
I just hope that they don't feel the need to add "The First Gay Food Stamp President" , in our children's text books ....
Obama needs to go ASAP ....
Amy---I love it when they derisively call our President a "community organizer" as if that is something to be ashamed of. Funny thing that they focus on that part of his background instead of Harvard law school graduate, practicing attorney, consitutional law professor, state legislator, U.S. Senator and best-selling author.
Obama is still the worst president in the history of history ....
Without question ....
One complete failure ....
Steeler Fan: I agree there's nothing wrong with being a community organizer, a Harvard graduate, practicing attorney, law professor, legislator, Senator and author, however, all these great attributes haven't translated into benefitting this country. Our country has never been so divided into little pieces. It's sad to see.
It's amazing reading through the comments how most Americans have 'SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS' and still can't figure out that it took EIGHT YEARS to get us into this mess by REPUBLICANs and it can't be fixed in FOUR YRS! The president is dependent upon the Congress to pass laws, acts and bills to move this country forward. A president can't create jobs, he can't lower gas prices either. We now live in a global ecomomy and what happens overseas effects us here in the USA. I've listened to Mitt Romney and other Republicans continuously attack president Obama about what he hasn't done. But what fixes are they proposing other than 'cutting taxes' to fix the ecomomy. First of all, the DO NOTHING Congress hasn't passed anything that would stimulate the economy....infrastructure bills have been sitting in Congress for more than 6 mos. that would create millions of jobs to improve our infrastructure. Instead all they want to do is 'cut taxes' with no plan provided on how they will pay for it. They are so hell bent on bringing Obama down they don't care about the American people at all. But Americans are still drinking the Kool-Aid, listening to their lies, and buying into the bull$#@+ forgetting they CREATED the mess we're in now.
Is Obama's debt and deficit a lie ....
Everyday Obama's been in office ....
Our debt has hit a new record high ....
Every single day ....
He hasn't even slowed it down at all ....
Now our debt is larger than our GDP ....
Less than mediocre doesn't cut it as president of the United States ....
Maybe it does to you ....
But most real Americans are disgusted with his dismal less than mediocre performance ....
Obama has to go ASAP ....
geejay: Tell it to the moon. Millions and millions of people are STILL unemployed. Kids coming out of college have NO jobs and huge debt. The rich are getting richer under this administration and the middleclass has all but disappeared. More people are on food stamps and more people are living in poverty. The statute of limitations has run out on Bush. President Obama has had 3 1/2 years to fix this and his policies have NOT worked. We can't wait any longer for hope and change, it will be disasterous for this country.
I grabbed the story below from FOX News for 2-14-2009. The stimulus passed the Senate 60-38. In the House, there were no GOP votes in favor. Even 3 weeks into Obama's term, the GOP was requiring a super majority to pass anything and even considering that at the time the stock market was approaching its post crash low. Obama did not yet have 60 votes as the GOP was still blocking the election of Sen. Franken. The Dems picked up either Collins or Snowe to get this through. The GOP went so far as to force Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio to return early from his mom's funeral. What a bunch of swell guys the GOP turned out to be.
The plan, freshly estimated at $787 billion by the CBO, combines $281 billion in tax cuts with $308 billion in outlays funded by the appropriations committees and about $198 billion in spending for benefit programs such as unemployment assistance, $250 payments or millions of people receiving Social Security benefits, and extra money for states to help with the Medicaid health program for the poor and disabled.
Obama's "Making Work Pay" tax cut would be scaled back from $500 for most workers to $400, with couples getting $800 instead of $1,000.
Obama said Friday that "passing this bill is a critical step." He plans to announce a new housing initiative soon, perhaps as early as next week.
"We have a once in a generation chance to act boldly, turn adversity into opportunity, and use this crisis as a chance to transform our economy for the 21st century," the president said.
The plan is the signature initiative of the fledgling Obama administration, which is betting that combining tax cuts of just a few dollars a week for most workers with an infusion of hundreds of billions of dollars of government spending over the next few years will arrest the economy's fall.
But the inclusion of a $70 billion tax break to make sure middle- to upper-income taxpayers won't get hit by the alternative minimum tax forced a reduction of Obama's signature tax break for 95 percent of workers. (Aside: even then the top earners had to be appeased to get the votes of Blue Dogs.)
Republicans pointed out a bevy of questionable spending items that made the final cut in House-Senate negotiations, including money to replace computers at federal agencies, inspect canals, and issue coupons for convertor boxes to help people watch TV when the changeover to digital signals occurs this summer. (Aside: the GOP objected to granny watching TV on her old Quasar).
"This measure is not bipartisan. It contains much that is not stimulative," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Obama's rival for the White House. "And is nothing short -- nothing short -- of generational theft" since it burdens future generations with so much debt, he added.
Obama economics adviser Larry Summers cautioned against raising expectations too high.
"I think this is a key part of what's going to be a multipart strategy to contain this decline," he said. But Summers added that the problems "weren't made in a week, a month, a year. It's going to take time to fix." He said it should not be considered a "silver bullet," or panacea for deeply rooted business woes.
Much of the spending won't be delivered this year or even next, and Republicans pointed to studies by the Congressional Budget Office that say that adding so much to the national debt would cost the economy by the end of the decade.
Republicans, lined up to vote against the bill, piled on the scorn.
"This is not the smart approach," said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader. "The taxpayers of today and tomorrow will be left to clean up the mess." (Aside: 3 weeks in and the GOP is telling Obama he can't spend a dime on anything even though the majority of the bill was not spending.)
It was clear that the measure was the result of old-fashioned sausage-making. Pet provisions were coming to light that had not been included in the original bills that passed the House or Senate -- or that differed markedly from earlier versions. Some appeared to brush up against claims of the bill's supporters that no pet projects known as "earmarks" were included.
FOX News' Chad Pergram and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
How in the hell do you come up with Republicans creating this mess when it was democratic social programs to make housing more affordable and easy to qualify? You are the kool-aid king.
Jerry, You are a liar and a fraud. Try reading something objective and factual. I'm betting you're from the South. You were probably a Democrat when they were the racist party in the South. I suspect your education is limited and that your life is pretty sad. With your kind of anger you really should talk to someone. Life really is beautiful you know- get off the internet and go chase those kids off the lawn.
Jerry -
If you truly think "democratic social programs to make housing more affordable and easy to qualify" caused the Housing/Banking crisis then you really weren't paying attention.
The crisis was caused by unregulated banks creating risky financial instruments that they couldn't back and the insurance companies defaulted on. You know, the same kind of "deregulation" that Romney wants more of?
I hate getting personal, but since the Book of Mormon is a fraud, it's only appropriate that the GOP also created the fraud that the recession was the result of Carter, Clinton, Frank, Freddie and Fannie (completely skipping any involvement by 12 years of Reagan-Bush or 8 of W Bush). If the poor are so capable of bringing down the economy, I have to wonder why the GOP wants to create so many more of them by eliminating the middle class.
You POS go ahead and follow your POS leader down the toilet. It's where you belong. Good riddance.
Denver is not the South and retired at 55 sure beats you welfare bums. I could be just like you if I totally went to sh!t and took out half my brains.
Jerry - then you'd be minus 3/4 of a brain - just how does that work, exactly?
No one I know is on welfare so I can only assume you're talking about yourself and your family/friends.
Obama/Biden 2012
Ooohhh, it looks like anaxgnosis has a prejudicial mindset about people from the South ! The outpouring of venom at #15.1 is really of a very toxic quality !
Okay boys and girls, friends and neighbors... let's get back to the topic ..... shall we ?
Hey religious expert William 375815 ! Could we have your opinion on the Bible as well as the Book Of Mormon? Maybe on the Koran?
How about the Teachings of Buddha? A comment or two would be nice.
You would do the Nation a great service by supplying the eagerly awaiting souls your ecclesiastical pronouncements.
FOOL STFU
Out with the idiot.
Go take a nap ....
Try to forget about Obama's dismal disasters for a while ....
And I hope you don't have any Obama night mares ....
Jerry40yeardemocrat - but Jerry, we're not sure where we're supposed to boot you "out" of. But, you clearly are the resident idiot!
The Democrat-Commies do not realize how dangerous they have become to Liberty and Freedom around the world. Because of the Democrat Party we are no longer able to Lead the Free World or help them anymore. The Masters of Deceit in the Obama Regime have destroyed our nation.
What a sad joke you are. Hows the weather on your planet? Gloomy I'll bet. Now that schools out you and the other 12 year olds will be out in force I guess. A pity these forums are anonymous. Surely if you had to put your name to this drivel it would stop.
motherland1 - I assume you're Jerrry's Mother? The idiots all stay right together don't they? Now if we don't walk lock-step with your demented ideas we're "commies?" What an intelligent post? Yep, clearly you're related to Jerry. Put both of you together and there still isn't a complete brain!
Obama/Biden 2012
We can't all have a brain like yours. Thank heavens.
Moms and dads love all their children. Every one. We all hope you are not the brightest in the bunch, for their sake. Will the food stamp people let you use them for a book?
motherland1: We may be down but not out! The majority of folks just simply do not want to jaw bone about the wrongs the Democrats have brought to this country. We will come out and vote this group out and use the experience to educated our children on what can happen when you listen to the liberals. We will restore our faith in GOD and Pray we will be forgiven and brought under HIS protection once again. We will then begin the Cleansing of America.
satejano - OMG you sound like a total idiot! We are voting out as many of the backward GOP politicians as possible in November. We want children to actually be taught instead of hearing the stupidity the GOP insists on shoving down the throats of the young. You sound like a total lunatic talking about the "cleansing of America," and the kind of terrorists we should fear.
Jerry - sorry to disappoint a small-minded little GOPer like you but I work; pay all my own bills; and do well for myself. Clearly you're deflecting your own existence onto others. Too bad!
Obama/Biden 2012
Whose going to believe that? Voting for Obama twice is stupid squared. Geometrically stupid. Only a welfare lover would vote for such a POS.
Seek some sanity. you need it.
Romney's better? Please explain why he's better....Please!!!
Time for yet another "economy update" for the conservatives!
Unemployment has been steadily dropping for the past year. (It takes time to fix a disaster the size of Bush's!)
26 months of positive job growth after Bush's record setting 800,000 jobs lost in JUST ONE MONTH!
OVER 4 million private sector so far! Bush only created 3.2 million in 8 years.
2 1/2 years of positive GDP after 1 1/2 years of negative growth thanks to GW Bush and GOP policy!
More oil being produced Domestically than in the past 10 years!
Exports at an ALL TIME HIGH!
trade deficit at an ALL TIME LOW!
Stock market up from 7500 at the end of Bush to approaching 13000 today.
MORE gas being produced than EVER before, in fact the oil companies are EXPORTING gas to china for EXTRA profit!
what party voted against STOPPING corporate subsidy and loopholes, GOP.
what party pushed through the XL pipeline but REFUSED to add provisions that some of the oil STAY in the US, GOP!
Obama the promise BREAKER!! Equals a LIAR!!! BIG EMBARRASMENT to the USA!!!
……NOW Obama wants to invade Syria and Iran!!!
Remember these?
THE OBAMA CHRONICLES:
“I promise 100% transparency in my administration.”.
“I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year.”.
“I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills.”.
“I will remove earmarks from PORK projects before I sign any bill.”.
“I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year.”.
"I will bring ALL of our troops home within ONE year."
“I’ll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is at the table!”.
“I’ll have no lobbyists in my administration."
"I'll close Guantanamo."
"I'll resign if I don't cut the deficit in half by the end of four years."
"I'll unite the people of this great country."
BETTER KNOWN AS LIES.
Fool me once shame on YOU!
Fool me twice shame on ME!
Vote NOBOZO, . NOBIDEN.............2012!
border joe - we are voting NOBOZO when we vote against Romney and for Obama!
Obama/Biden 2012
border: Please see post 14. Obama can promise all he wants, but if there was no funding, he couldn't close GITMO (plus you were against closing it anyway). The health hearings were on CSPAN as was his meeting with the GOP leadership. But given that the GOP was ONLY in favor of tort reform and cross state purchase of insurance, and against the mandate and the public option - there was any room to negotiate. The GOP never offered to accept a down sized test roll out. Bringing the troops home within a year would have been preferred, but you were against that too, AND we had nowhere to employ them once they returned. It's pretty hypocritical for someone who is against Obama from day one to criticize him for continuing Bush's wars.
Seeking Sanity? Very appropriate name.
Again since reading comprehension is not your strong suit, seeking sanity in the GOP but as you and others on this site confirm daily, there is no sanity to be found in the GOP!
Speak for yourself. There is no sanity to be found in you. If we wanted your opinion, we would tell you what it is.
Jerry - not even a remotely intelligent retort but I expect no more from you. You're not capable of anything else. Again, you are the poster child proving no sanity in the GOP!
Border: It doesn't even take once to fool you.
Good thing our President has a willing Congress to help resolve the issues of this country? Ops, the GOP's one job is to make him one term President, not to comprise and work for the American People. This country is falling as GOP using old strategy, divide the people but we are already divided by race, class, income, color, etc. A house divided cannot stand and we are falling.
Most of the citizens don't even know how real Government is suppose to work. GOP extremist are like Stepford Wives or they just hate the POTUS and want anyone but him. I guess Richie Richie, Mormon will do for right wing evangelist who don't believe in God anyway!
Seems POTUS is going to have to give up on "you can fool all of the people most of the time with simple rhetoric" and work on a more probable proposition of "you can fool the foolish all of the time but it takes a lot of work to fool the thinkers"
Seems that POTUS will need to change his view that "you can fool most of the people all of the time with simple rhetoric" to "you can fool the foolish all of the time with rhetoric but I will really have to work to fool the thinking people with rhetoric again."
Socialists only think about what they can steal from me.
As oppossed to the republitorts if you lie loud enough and often enough and long enough someone will eventually believe you?
His approval rating is really minus 119; he gets a bonus plus 100 from the left wing media.
Vote for Scott Walker
Obama is in high panic mode. After flip-flopping on gay marriage, he is terrified of losing support in the bIack, church-going community. So, he is sending out the racist head of his Injustice Dept, along with his thugs from the IRS, to make sure "his people" see it his way, or else.
Hahhahahahahahah. Good one.
Oh, wait - you were serious, weren't you?
Be careful what you wish for. The politicians, both parties, have stuffed their pockets for years, no care at all about the real problems of our country. When the people of the country are united as a whole, things get done on the hill. After 9/11 the people were united, but since then, there has been an effort to devide the people. It really started to happen, when Clinton was elected. The GOP couldn't believe that Bush SR. lost. They came out with all kinds of lies in which our news media broadcast. Then, with little success there, they finally went after him with his weakness for women. Most all previous presidents had affairs etc, so why was Clinton's personal life targeted? Because of morals, of which most people live by. Division, by public opinion? After Bush, GW was elected, things really went down hill and the national debt went up. The surplus left by Clinton vanished. We were hit on 9/11 and we went to war in Afganistan. The people united as a whole again. Then troops were pulled, to invade Iraq, under more lies. Iraq was no threat to our country. I really thought that when Obama was elected, that the people were united again. A new direction etc. It seems to me that the GOP house has fought the president in every direction. Compromise has been forgoten and so no is their answer. They even held the people of this country as hostege to get their way. The media seems to let lies prevail also,so the country is once devided by half truths etc. I really think we need to unite behind a sitting president. Demand compromise by both parties, to get our country back on even keel. Also term limits for the house and senate, repeal all their self given perks. They actually voted themselves a pay raise for failure when the national debt, that they caused by spending, but by freezing everyone elses. So who ever prevails in November, we need a united people behind the sitting president, to demand that the politicians do the work of the country, resolve the problems, that's what they draw those huge saleries for. To vote no and have no solution of the problem is to do nothing.
Buh Bye. It is just not right for me to take advantage of the mentally disadvantaged (you know who you are) any longer.
And. Buh Bye to the POS potus in November.
Jerry - in other words - you can't keep up! Not surprising!
Obama/Biden 2012
