Had no Idea Romney was recalled, I thought is was Walker and his miracle budget wand. Wait until they turn that light the right direction and find Walker standing at the end of the tunnel with his pockets full of their money.

OK Tammy... when the other polls start to show Romney in the lead, can we count on you to say that Romney is beating President Obama? Just want to make sure you don't say something like "you can't trust any polls" WHEN this happens.

Yep! Just stating facts and figures. If you choose to rely on this poll, hey ok. According to them, Romney has always led in Michigan. Do you honestly believe that as well?

No, just getting where you stand now so next week when the other polls show the same thing I can slyly bring it up to you. Petty, I know, but hey.

Predicting President Obama winning is not different than knowing the Sun will rise and set tomorrow and that is FACT.....

The only people Romney and the GOP have left on their side are Racist White Men and the top 2%, pissed off everyone else..... not enough in those to groups for Romney to win....The numbers don't lie... They might have the money, but they don't have the numbers to win......Even Wisconsin exit polls had President Obama winning by 9.......

That is as a racist remark as I ever heard! You all need to stop the race card thing, I do not like either one of these dead beat pieces of garbage! I want someone that has worked for a living in office! I am glad that you believe Obama gives a damn about you! He only cares about sending his wife and kids on vacation!

TXboy,

All Romney wants for you is to make you work for slave wages.....like many in Texas already.... I know who is on my side....and it isn't the guy who wants to get rid of SS, Medicare, Healthcare, Regulations on Banks, Wallstreet and Big Oil....and give big tax breaks to these groups to take away Middle Class entitlements....which btw we pay for, they are not FREE......

Did you vote for Rick Perry?

Nope, I did not vote for Perry. No one understands one thing, Obamacare is not going to work here. It does not work in Aus. Where my brother and his wife live. I know people that lived in Canada and say it was horrible there too.

I do not work for slave wages, I make real good money. I have everything I want and need. No one in government is on your side when will people get that through their heads?!? They want what they want. Not one of these people have ever held a real job. Obama was raised by a rich WHITE grandmother. All he wants to do it make more people dependent on the government. The more he make blacks, hispanics and white dependent on government the more issue this country is going to have.

No one wants to pay more taxes, I believe everyone should pay 15-20% across the board no deductions. I mean everyone, rich poor, middle class. Fair tax for everyone. 1 rate across the board, raise interest rates back to 7-8% and make people get off their butts and work! There are jobs, you may not like it but they are there.



Per the articles I found people that think oil companies do not pay enough you need to do your home work. Yes they get TAX breaks, but do not forget local tax they pay, rent and royalties they pay. The people and refineries they pay. since 2000, the industry has invested almost $1.7 trillion in U.S. capital projects to advance all forms of energy, including alternatives, while reducing the industry’s environmental footprint.

So yea they may not pay much income tax but they pay it else where. I would love to see true green energy but until then use your brain would you rather then leave the US and pay no tax or keep putting TONS of $ in local economies? I know people that have oil wells on their land. They get $ for royalties and for them to come pump. 1.2 million a year for 5 wells. The company also pays locals to work the land at $25 an hour. So I think that all in all they pay their fair share.

'TXBOY,

You have been VERY VERY VERY MISINFORMED...... First Obamacare is not Universal Government Healthcare like Canada.....Matter of fact, it's the biggest expansion of the Private Insurance Industry in the History of our Country......It is totally delivered by for Profit Insurance Industry and Healthcare Industry........If forces people to buy PRIVATE Health Insurance, you know from like Blue Cross and Blue Shield....not from the government.....

President Obama's grandmother was NOT rich....Far from rich,,,,middle class.....

Here is a link about her: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/apr/24/nation/la-na-obama-bio-20120425

You are very wrong about the oil industry.....Exxon Mobile makes more profit than ANY OTHER COMPANY IN THE WORLD. Not just oil company, BUT ANY COMPANY..... and many years they not only pay no Federal Income tax, they get a check back from the government like Earned income credit , welfare.....Corporate Welfare.......

We all pay taxes everywhere else too!!!!!!! State sales tax, local income, property taxes, car registration, on and on and on...

You have been watching to much Fox......Do yourself a favor and watch other cable news...CNN and MSNBC to get the other side of the conversation.....Also, a study was done and Fox viewers were shown to be the most uninformed group of viewers.....Not making that up... Matter of fact National Public Radio were the most informed and guess what, the Republicans in Congress are trying to DEFUND NPR, I wonder why?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2011/11/21/fox-news-viewers-uninformed-npr-listeners-not-poll-suggests/

You do seem sincere and not a jerk, but just uninformed..... Not hard to do if you don't have the time and only listen to one source of information...

At the heart of the Affordable Care Act is the Independent Payment Advisory Panel (IPAB), made up of 15 unelected officials appointed by the president to reduce Medicare spending. The IPAB will be tasked with and given the authority to reduce costs to the government by, among other things, limiting reimbursements to doctors. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to recognize that this will lead to more physicians leaving the Medicare system, reducing access to care for our seniors and limiting available treatments.

But this isn’t the most frightening part. Any recommendations by the IPAB automatically become law. The only way around this unprecedented amount of power for Washington bureaucrats is an act of Congress, with a three-fifths supermajority in the Senate. In other words, the unelected IPAB, appointed by the president, essentially becomes its own shadow legislative branch.

The fundamental structure of our government, with three co-equal branches and a careful system of checks and balances, is being usurped. Our freedoms and liberties are being chipped away, bit by bit. Our country is being transformed step by incremental step into a centrally planned, stringently controlled bureaucratic nanny state, and what I find most frightening is that a portion of our populace willingly dons the shackles, and like lemmings, marches to our demise.

Perhaps some Americans are simply unaware of the exorbitant monetary cost of this governmental behemoth. The numbers don’t lie, and they are dangerous:

c $1.76 trillion from American taxpayers to pay for Obamacare over 10 years, nearly double the $940 billion forecast when the bill was signed into law (Congressional Budget Office). c $52 billion in new taxes on businesses as employers are forced to provide health insurance. (CBO). c $800,000 fewer U.S. jobs. (CBO). c $47 billion in new taxes on drug companies and medical device makers, costs that surely will be passed down to patients, particularly our senior citizens.

c Families earning more than $250,000 a year will see more taxes, as Obamacare adds a new tax to investment income, including capital gains, dividends, rental income and royalties.

c Insurance premiums are expected to increase 1.9 percent to 2.3 percent in 2014 and up to 3.7 percent by 2023 because Obamacare adds a premium tax on health insurers offering full coverage.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is unworkable and destined to fail. One need only look back a few years ago to the last big government program with the word “affordable” in it. Barney Frank’s Affordable Housing Act managed, in less than a decade, to demolish the housing market, weaken financial institutions and wipe out the net worth of millions of Americans.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Romney 2012

He's even in trouble in Illinois.

Surely you jest? Obama's stronghold!

rebelcause- why dont you check your records and you will see that we have not been creating enough private sector jobs for almost a decade- well into Bush's first and second term- and not all centered at the collapse at the end.

So what are we do to with this lack of job creation that predates Obama? Nothing as the RepubliCONS would have us do. 180+ filibusters and counting. Never this amount of planned obstruction in the entire history of our country. Remember your political motto- country first!

Romney would fail in a debate with Obama. Reason being his lies would catch up with him when he's faced with tough questions.

Demtothebone - Bush inherited a dot com (the dot com tech boom in the 90s was the biggest reason why Clinton "created" 20M new jobs) bubble burst and recession then the whammy of 9/11 and the resultant uncertainty in the marketplace up to 2003 he created 4.6M but lost 2.6M his first two years.

That did not stop him from gaining 8.3M jobs from 2003 forward. Slow, yes. And he didn't help things with the the BS he bought from those in the West Wing who felt deficits don't matter.

Fact is deficits do matter relative to strong economic growth because it inspires confidence in job creators with at-risk capital to invest.

Rosso - Romney's lies? Let's see Obama justify his 97K new jobs per month as progress! Repeat after me all Obama will keep saying is he created 4M jobs hoping no one will look behind the 4M number he loves reciting.

Let's move on to leaking national security info to the press.

Let's ask Obama what he is going to do when the $200B in pension liabilities GM has on its books decapitates GM again and whom Obama claims he saved when he didn't do a damn thing to address that which really hurts GM. They already owe us something like $35B.

That's just for beginners.

No reform whatsoever.

the question is- name me one thing Romney will do that is different then what Bush did?

He'd leave the economy in a worse state than Bush.

@ rosso:..........well that was a real original, adult post.....be quiet, the adults are talking

demtothebone - what will Romney do different from Bush? Try balancing our govt. checkbook for beginners and slashing the size of govt. which Bush most certainly did not.

At least Romney won't just repeat over and over hope and change that we know for sure. I submit he'll take his .800 batting average for success at Bain and transfer it to reshaping our out of control govt. operating as a poorly run business.

What's Obama's batting average? Let's use his unemployment number. .082. He's riding the bench as of next Jan. and can run around the world with another well-meaning loser with all the wrong ideas, Carter.

If it's not over the Obama cliff, it's a better place.

Like Ford?

Yes, Ford has filed for BK before and been on the brink several times, in fact, things were so bad early on Henry Ford himself almost filed for personal BK.

Ford has extended all their credit lines to the max, if the economy takes another hit they will have no choice but to reorganise under BK laws as they are now at a huge disadvantage vs Chrysler and GM because under BK they shed debt and rewrote all their contracts and union deals to benefit themselves, and the fact they do not have the means to raise much cash at all and wont for quite a while.

Ford investers, including me, are now questioning the wisdom of Fords decision seeing the anemic stock performance, crippled finances, and its chilling affect on their credit rating and stock offerings.
