After yesterday's Supreme Court decision on the Arizona immigration law, NBC's Mark Murray and Domenico Montanaro talk about what they mean and the Romney campaign's (slow) response. Also, President Obama's campaign is out with a new ad once again hitting Romney's record at Bain Capital.

Romney seems to be so concerned with saying something that others won't like, that he and his 'crack' team take several hours to make a comment to say "we have no comment".
I'm sorry but the president of the U.S. has to be a quick thinking individual who has the temerity to stand for what he believes and to take decisive actions at a moments notice.
Slow response?
More like NO response! lol
Some acne riddling, gum chewing kid on Willard's aircraft couldn't come up with a coherant thought after 20 minutes of rambling!
It really was quite painful to witness...
PS: Hey Mark & Domenico - when are we going to get another boiler-room segment?
Some acne riddling, gum chewing kid
Quit picking on Jay Carney.
We all know how tough it can be to win elected office. Regardless of where a person stands on an issue, there will people who disagree.
I guess Romney and his (as Feisty so eloquently put it: an acne ridding, gum chewing kid) are trying to figure out how to please everyone while pleasing very little.
Note to Willard: Grow a pair and tell the country what you actually think. Unless that is an obvious oxymoron.
The best that Romney has to offer - straight from his website. How he plans to achieve this is the elephant in the room. We don't know how, what, when, why, but we do know 'where' - and that would be offshore.
Sadly, when corporations elect to offshore jobs, they fail to offshore the job that makes the most sense - those held by useless white collar workers.
Obama - "In five days we are going to fundamentally transform America."
October 2008
Sadly, he has managed to do that.
Like Obama ..... I don't like that part .... I'm gong to do what I want regardless .... I won't enforce it anyway.
Too bad the only thing Obama believes in is Obama .... not the Constitution, the rule of law, the oath he swore, the will of the American people ...
He has been running for almost 20 years for one office or another . We still have no idea what his thoughts are on any subject . Other then he likes to be able to fire people and he has a thing for dumb blondes "TRUMP" !
I'm sorry but the president of the U.S. has to be a quick thinking
Kind of like Obama was on the BP Oil Spill, eh?
Kind of like Obama was on the BP Oil Spill, eh?
You're kidding right? It only took a host of experts from around the globe to come to a conclusion on how to deal with the stoppage.
You and other's like you who have been sitting around since the 2008 election with only a single purpose in mind of preventing the president from a second term need to have your heads examined.
Sadly NO!
The RWNJ's still haven't gotten over the fact the President didn't jump into his SuperMan suit & dive down to plug the leak himself!
There is no pleasing the irrational...
Good point WCA.
Another funny (sic) point is that violated a federal judge's order there too!
And the contempt order!
Obama Biden 2012 - "Who Needs A Stink'n Constitution"
I have to agree with the Libs on this, it was really painfull to look at it.
Almost as painfull as hearing the speech form President Obama on the Q meeting form Mexico.
Ahhhhhhhh, My administration UHMMMMMMMM, I will aks URRRRRRRRR. Our President is getting worse with the hesitations.

See Bob if you get your head out of your butt, the article means that Obama can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time and be real cool with it.
when the mission to kill Bin laden was under way, he was cracking jokes at the White House Correspondents Dinner, while in his mind the lives of those men and hoping for the death to bin laden. and Bob No one in the room out side of a few knew.
I want a man as my president like that, no a goof that takes 2 hours to respond to the Supreme Court decision on the Arizona immigration law, a law this goof said should be a model. the oil spill when he jacked BP up for 20 billion, Romney would have waited 6 months before he said any thing, If yesterday was a indication, the well would still be leaking.
Or kinda like Dubyas response to a major US city that was under flood water...remember New Orleans!..heck of a job Brownie!
Feisty...Good morning. You said it best in #1.11..................
There is no pleasing the irrational...
I swear that if the president was able to @!$%# gold bricks the RWNJ's would complain that they smelled bad.
I believe that White Collar Auto should change his name to better reflect his actual feelings. How about White Supremacist? It is him and others like him who still can't get over the fact that anyone other than a white male was elected president of the U.S. and so they have done everything in their power to thwart his effort and make slimy comments about his time in office. It has been a despicable display of the people from the
ReichRight Wing that is trying to tear this country apart.The whole world volunteered help, skimmer fleets, technical help, the whole deal ... and Obama ignored them for months ... leaving it to his EPA to write the rules, his unions to do the work and the company with the worst safety record - the COMPANY THAT CREATED THE DISASTER.
Relative to my previous comment - Obama put together a panel of experts to decide on the moratorium'
Obama had Salazar literally change their report to support Obama's agenda!
They came out and stated the truth and Obama still ignored them ... then proceeded to violate the federal judge's order, thus temporarily ruining countless lives and the economy of the Gulf.
This guy is dispicable.
What is amazing is that he has demonstrated this crap year after year and the libs never get it ... just keep lying and deceiving.
Thanks for another example.
Chilled - or like it took Dubya FIVE days after 9/11 to get his sorry ass to NY to see the actual damage.
Bob - just like the whole world volunteered to help with Katrina but Bush blocked them. Your arrogance and lack of memory is astounding but not unexpected. Your selective memory is standard for the GOP. Pathetic but not unexpected!
charemor- shhhhh You're not supposed to mention the shrub! They get really upset when his stupidity is brought up!
Ummmmm, errrrrrr, it is actually more painful to read hesitations written by an offensive offshore paid GOP/TP unconcerned non-citizen troll.
bob 18#### -- Just because you say it's so, doesn't make it so. Careful, you appear to be crossing the line. Proof for all those allegations?
We should probably cut WCA some slack .. he spent the last week creating an Excel spreadsheet with a complicated formula to add up 1+1 along with a memo-to-self congratulating him on his accomplishment.
The absolute horror of 9/11 and Katrina is forever burned in our collective memories and the GOP/TP still try to use 'talking points' (lies) to put a positive spin on Dubyas response.....
Sad!
It appears in their small, feeble & closed minds... it does...
We don't call em Sheeple for nothing ya know!
Little lambs in brown jack-boots marching towards the abyss!
Yea ... and 4 year olds can walk and chew gum and act cool ... and the other 4 year olds think that is something.
when the mission to kill Bin laden was under way, he was cracking jokes at the White House Correspondents Dinner,
First - about quick thinking and decisions ... why did it take Obama 8 months to make the decision to do what he said he would do?
Second - You mean all of those photos of Obama, Biden, Hillary in the situation room with all the serious faces was faked!
Third - Admiral McRaven was calling the shots - Obama has a Panetta letter putting the blame on him if things went wrong.
You think that's pretty cool, huh?
Fourth - He might have been quiet for a moment, but he certainly spiked the ball afterwards and still was A YEAR LATER, enough to even make SEALs puke.
Obama brought in Hollywood to make a film him to come out just before the elections - shocking the military and intelligence communities with revealing classifed protocols and oh yea ... outed SEAL Team 6 resulting in the deaths of 25 of the team 4 months later!
Not cool.
Dispicable.
Poor WCA is really having a rough go at it this week, without having the safety of SpankMe's skirt to hide behind!
He sucks when he has to travel on his own two feet! lol
Just an example of Rove Politics.
Use a lot of words to say nothing and do even less while you let the corporations handle the governance of America.
Nothing new to see here.
Seeking -
Quick test ... is there more than 1 US time zone.
If so - how many?
Can you get it in 5 minutes?
Don't -
Don't know enough to challenge anything?
Bunch up there ... be a big girl and pick something - google it and educate yourself.
bob-1805084 - why do you insist on posting lie after lie.
Yes, President Obama went through the day the operation for Osama bin Laden was in process just like any other day so no suspicion or leaks could happen so, yes - he cracked jokes at the Dinner. It is exactly what he should have done.
It did not take him 8 months to make a decision. He made the decision when he was informed that there was a 60% certainty that bin Laden was there. He was advised against making the decision to go ahead but did it anyway.
Third - you're a damned liar. Everyone was in the room watching the action in real time as has been told over and over again. Your hatred and stupidity are showing but mostly your stupidity.
Again, you're a damned liar. There was no letter putting the blame on anyone. Oh but of course you have "inside information." Do you know what an utter fool you look like. You have no information, no nothing! You're just a stupid little rightie who is so jealous of the President you resort to making up lie after lie after lie.
Obama made the decision Bush wouldn't so get the hell over it. He's ten times the man Bush/Cheney/Romney will ever be. And, you don't even begin to measure up!
Obama/Biden 2012
The US is in 14 timezones when you count all of our territories.
Speaking of that seersucker suit lounge lizard lawyer vacationing in Cancun, I thought he made the claim that he paid more in taxes after one hour of work than Anna, Jody, and Amy, combined, made in one years salary. If he is that awesomely wealthy, what pray tell, is he doing at an all-inclusive lower middle class resort in Cancun? Surely, he can afford a palatial villa on the French Rivera.
Prancing around the pool in his Speedo, while grossing out the blue-heads?
Remember this is the same guy who thinks Outback Steakhouse's are awesome!
Why are Obama's poll numbers in the dumps day after day .... ??
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Mitt Romney attracting 47% of the vote, while President Obama earns 45%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided ....
RedDevPS............. Surely, he can afford a palatial villa on the French Rivera.
Spanky is one of the most delusional people to have ever posted a comment here. If he were anything close to what he claims to be he wouldn't have the time or inclination to be here posting comments as often as he does.
The editors of IBD have a slightly different take on that …. stating in their “Memo Reveals The ‘Gutsy’ Bin Laden Call That Wasn’t” … “the final decision to pull the trigger on the world’s most-wanted man was delegated to an admiral who undoubtedly would have been thrown under the bus had the mission failed.”
Seems there was a memo and according to that memo written by Leon Panetta (obtained by Time magazine), William McRaven, a 3 star admiral and former SEAL called the shots …
“The timing, operational decision-making and control are in Admiral McRaven’s hands. The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the president.”
Wow Seeking ... you never get tired of being played a fool?
Feisty, you really need a new schtick. Same old tired lines here day after day, is so played out. I suppose you think it's "fresh" since your minions vote for your comments and we all know that you live and die with those votes.
BTW, what the hell is a "Blue-Head"?
Brian, How the hell do you even know what race I am? How very LIBERAL of you to assume I am white.
You know how I know you guys are losing?
The cacophony of "Bush did it too!" and "Racist" accusations.
Team Blue is in panic mode.
Bob - the only fool here is you - again! When you have a REAL source, bring it out. Until then, again, you're the fool! As always!
WCA, there is an old adage to the effect that part of having class is the ability to not lower yourself to the level of those that don't have class.
Thanks for demonstrating that ability.
Most of society recognizes this as a strength ... to Feisty it is a weakness and those are the ones she targets.
Some of us lower ourselves to Feisty's level .... isn't that right Betty?
Btw - Betty, it has been 6 months since you have supposedly had me on ignore.
Anytime you need you want a tune-up, let me know.
Something tells me that white-collar non-worker never travels on his own two feet .. rather he relies upon his social security funded Hoveround.
From the Urban Dictionary:
bluehead
A bluehead is an old lady who has a blue rinse in her hair.
Usually seen driving 20 miles an hour below the speed limit.
The term was first used in parts of New England but has now spread to other areas where old folk still use a blue rinse for hirsute dyeing.
Very nice Feisty REDhead. So you are racist against people of different hair color, too, I see?
How very LIBERAL of you to assume I am white.
While it is true that I don't know what race you are. Nor do I care. But it is easy to put you in that group who has little to say in support of Romney other to say you don't like the president. People from the GOP/TP gathered almost immediately after the conclusion of the 2008 elections to come up with a plan to make President Obama a one term president. Sickening! Instead of doing their jobs to the best of their abilities and for what would best help the people of the country, they have been devising ways to undermine everything the president has offered to help the people of the country. The main reason for this groups attention is the fact the president is not a blue eyed/Anglo-Saxon/blond haired man. Sounds all to familiar to a group from Germany that started in power in the mid 1930's doesn't it?
How very CONSERVATIVE of YOU to assume that that there is a winner/loser at this point. In your warped opinion, once again, you are bent on making the president a one term president even when there is no factual basis to back up your claims.
Team Blue isn't in panic mode sorry to inform you. But when YOU and others say that Obama is losing certainly sound to be in panic mode.
Red Dev, SS, Feisty, Brian et al....Nothing left but personal attacks.
Deperate....Flat out Desperate.
Brian, I said you were losing, that is a present participle. It implies that you are on your way to losing, but have not yet lost.
You are certainly losing the argument when you all resort to personal attacks.
Try some English 101.
Nah!
I'll stick with it - it sure manages to get under your thin skin! ;o)
Quick - show us your victim face!
It's our favorite! lmao!
New test for you Seeking -
What does ... time magazine ... panetta memo ... 0.21 of a second ... and google get you?
In an effort to save Feisty a phone call to give you the answer ...
Answer - 330,000 hits
And in the words of the redolent redhead ....
"Thanks for playing" ... a (what rhymes with tool?) again.
Hear Obama getting booooood at on this link ....
http://now.msn.com/now/0626-obama-baseball-boos
As the rest of America booooo's him now ....
Panetta has NEVER claimed what you say. I don't have time to "google" every lie you tell. Get a life.
Oh, and just so we're clear - you're stupid if you think all of your "facts" wouldn't have been splashed over every headline - had there been any truth - which we all know there wasn't.
Go back to your little right wing sources and fill your head with more lies. It's all you've got. Truly pathetic!
And, you're the fool! As always....
bigben..... he was booed talking about Boston's trade to the White Sox - all in good fun! Your related to idiot Bob, right?
WCA - every once in a while, it is amusing to take a refresher course and stoop to the level of pond scum you and your ilk (bob lotsa numbers, redsoxsux, spanky, concerned citizen, bobva, the albanian idiot, barebackalaska, etc...) love to wallow in - that of personal desperate attacks and nonsensical one liners. If you are too thin skinned to take-in what you folks dish-out, then I might suggest you quit posting.
You are certainly losing the argument when you all resort to personal attacks.
I don't think so. You see, when you fail to offer any concrete reasons for your support of Romney, you fail to present any reason for anyone to follow your lead.
Why don't you enlighten all of us with what Romney has said that makes you want to see him become our next president? Please tell us each of his ideas in detail so that more people might follow along with you.
I'll be waiting.
bob - if you "google" aliens you'll get 168,000,000 hits. Oh and little green men gets you 386,000,000 hits! Doesn't make them real! You're a total imbecile!
Nah RedDev, I think I'll keep posting.
Watching you all melt down is really kind of fun.
Look, SS does know how to google! But he wasted his time googling "Aliens"?
Man. sometimes the logic of you folks absolutely escapes me.
Excellent comment Brian!
Don't hold your breath - this is the part where WCA runs & hides!
OR - continues to sling more of his half-assed insults!
You will NEVER get a straight forward answer out of him - he simply doesn't have any critical thinking skills! ;o)
With the amount of bitching and whining coming from your posts, I hardly think you are having fun. But, when it comes to self-gratification, to each his own.
Seeking -
Yet when I googled that ... all I got were references to the actual memo he wrote.
Over 5 million hits this time!
Yet you have time to post comments that make you look foolish.
And then respond again with another example.
Got one ... I have a functioning brain too!
Oh btw - you said you didn't have to google every "lie" yet I just noticed you googled alien ....
So you admit you are liar, too.
Gosh ... is there anything you have put up that I haven't turned on you?
See you later Seeking ... you are boring.
bob - you actually don't have a functioning brain.
You look more and more foolish every time you post your desperate lies but it's all you have.
Keep it up - I'll be back and forth during the day. Appointments to keep!
Pathetic little bobby - but don't worry WCA will stand up for you!
It would help you immensly if you would make an appointment with the Sylvan Learning Centers.
To find a learning center near you, just dial (866) 274-2941.
No need for thanks - with all the fun you provide, it's the least I can do.
Bob-
Of course the Admiral had operational control, he was on the front lines. The memo you cite clearly states the Admiral had the Presidents approval based on the risks communicated to the POTUS. That is how military operations go, the higher-ups approve of the broad action based on an Ops PLan and a risk assessment and the field commanders make the real-time decisions.
You lie, spin or distort when you say if it failed Obama would have blamed it on the Admiral. That is merely an opinion, and an ill-informed one.
What is your source for this statement? That is outrageous and inflammatory even by Republican standards.
Yea ... all commanders issue cya memos .. right.
Risks are always so well known, risks never change once the operation begins ...
Thanks for an honest and intelligent post, though
You aren't contesting that the Obama administration outed SEAL Team 6, right ... outed the team leader that planned it .... right?
With regard to the 25 deaths, there were articles in British papers about it being a planned ambush on SEAL Team 6 ... how the leader and shooter were taken out by an F-16 strike trying to get into Pakistan.
Regardless, SEAL Team 6 had never been outed before for the exact reason of what happened.
Obama didn't know any better ... just naive exhuberance.
Btw - What do you think of the family members requesting no pictures at Dover and Obama sneaking his photographer in anyway ... getting the money shot to be published for the news cycle?
OK since it was just Obama saluting with the story and background without showing an actual coffin?
Sorry if my comments seem harsh.
Bob - if you were actually intelligent it might be fun. But you're not and your taunts aren't bothering me - just amusing, at most.
No doubt you know Sylvan learning Center's number by heart.
You truly are a Republican - low information voter and all.
TNSEVOL - you are so far above Bob, intellectually, it is frightening. But, it's really not a surprise.
note to rightwing nut jobbers: this is how Romney defends your "freedoms?" I'd write in Ron Paul, if I were you.
If there was 1 good candidate to vote for Amy, my choice would be much easier!
Sorry ....
Ron doesn't have the votes ....
America can't risk another 4 years of the destructive Obama ....
bigben -
A comment without a "LOL"? I'm stunned.
Romney doesn't have the votes either, and he never will.
Couldn't win a Senate seat, lied to get elected governor of MA but couldn't get re-elected, and couldn't beat McCain in the 2008 primary season.
And what exactly has Obama destroyed? The economy is slowing getting better - unemployment is down, stock market is up; Osama Bin Laden is dead, GM & Chrysler are alive; Iraq War is overe and War in Afghanistanis winding down - sounds to me like a pretty good job in the face of a united obstructionist opposition.
TNSEVOL - Obama lied to get elected, do you agree?
The Presidents ad is correct, that Romney is the, "Outsourcer-in-chief."
How many jobs is Obama outsourcing to illegal immigrants? 10M? 20M? Those are jobs that American citizens could have, but Obama is giving them to illegal immigrants.
Much much worse than what an executive had to do because of government regulations to make a profit.
RedSoxRule - you DO know we have had an immigration problem for decades, right? But the only person you blame for it is Obama. How convenient! How stupid!
Insanity, he is the only one that has granted amnesty by edict. Once again, don't let facts get in the way of your opinion. LOL
RedSoxRule - and the exact program was developed by McCain/Kennedy and has been backed by several Republicans. The fact that President Obama actually had the spine to do something makes him a hell of a lot better than his GOP predecessors! LOL You seriously have no game!
The idiocy of the right wing .. they don't even understand that outsourcing jobs, used in the context of this discussion thread, means sending them overseas.
Sorry you can't understand the analogy. But it should be expected from a libby. LOL
Yeah right RED...How many kids do you see cutting lawns or working as hotel maids or at your local fast food restaurant which by law use E-Verify? Or how many contractors use kids for summer jobs? Comon now you're a real smart connie you can answer! Yowsa you must be one a dem patriotic "mericans.," right? How bout yall comon down to the great southwest desert and help the local militia patrol our borders?
You're right. Instead of in-sourcing jobs the President is in-sourcing workers.
I think RedSox lives in la la land, or as known the republican bubble!
Torpedo;
Do you mean those fat old white men who huff and puff in the desert?
No thanks. They're relatively nasty conspiracy-theorists.
Have you ever talked to those guys?
It's a scary world they live in!
The president of the US is kenyan, but the media won't even 'vet' it properly because it's part of a left-wing conspiracy...right?
Yeah.
Those aren't people that the majority of americans would associate with on a daily basis. Those are the guys you avoid talking to or looking at on the street because you're afraid crazy might be infectious.
And more right wing insanity by the fearful red-ites. Obama did not grant amnesty to anyone. Now, if only Obama would edict out of this country those redsoxsux idiots. Better yet, if only redsoxsux would follow Romney's advice and self-deport.
Tek...Yup those be the guys or should I say mouth breathers...It's kinda fun to confront them at gun shows though...One of Glen Becks henchman was at a Crossroads show in Phoenix last year promoting his "9-12 Project." You'd a thought his head was going to explode when confronted by gun collecting democrat who actually wanted to close the gun show loophole..Oh well that's another story.....
hey REDEVS;
As always when you Libs can take it you then go to placing lies and your own kind of jokes. I will imagine you will start to use the race card pretty soon, ad the President starts to get desperate. Blame and divide is the tactic you all use.
I think you mean can't or cannot take it. FYI, we don't place lies. However, we are guilty dropping the occasional 'kind of jokes', unlike your ridiculous cigar joke the other day. Speaking of which, in your honor, I did remove my cigar-smoking avatar. I didn't want to be responsible for another terrific, shuddering, key-board ruining, orgasm you experienced every time you saw it.
to RedDevPS
How funny, not only do you believe to be smarter than us, but now you flatter yourself about your cigar. How predictable are you Libs?
Romney and anybody for 2012.
I'm sure he'll have a statement just as soon as his big-money PAC donors tell him what it is.
you mean on his teleprompter? oh, that is the other guy running... nevermind!
sirie - since they all use teleprompters I'm not sure of the point of your post. Still love your avitar though!
Sirie,
I bet you can't name a President since IKE that didn't use a teleprompter.
That teleprompter line is reaching for straws.
No job1
The point is ummm well rrrrr he can't speak without one.
I know you ride the short bus but please try and keep up.
Thanks RU, beat me to the punch!
I just read Scalia's bio... Seems he's a 1st generation American. Had his policies been in place back then, his father would have been sent back to Sicily...
Guess just another GOP example of 'I've got mine, screw you'...
Lyn, do you have an issue with Italians? What about Chicago Politics?
Nah, Chicago politics are fine.
Rove Politics suck, though.
teknishan - and we love our Italians here in Chicago!
Heck yeah.
Love 'em here in San Diego, too.
Good food and lovely women :)
teknishan - and really handsome men!
Don't forget the gelato!
JesusWasaLiberalJew - oh, don't get me going about the gelato! Divine!!!!!
OK then, how about tiramisu?
JesusWasaLiberalJew - not fair. Love the tiramisu too! Not only that but we have an extensive Greek population (as well as many other ethnic groups) whose food is outstanding. You can eat your way through Chicago and never get tired of the wonderful choices! The diversity is part of what makes this such a great city!
Fisty, I'm glad you don't let facts get in the way of your opinions. I always admired that about the libbys.
I heard something about Obama making a comment about a trade from RedSox to WhiteSox that went over well last night...
Oh, and this just in...
Facing a $27 million fundraising deficit, organizers of the Democratic National Convention are considering dropping a kick-off event at Charlotte Motor Speedway,
sirie - yes, the Boston crowd didn't like the trade of their beloved 3rd baseman to the White Sox (Obama's favorite team) so they booed him. He took it well.
The kick-off event at Charlotte Motor Speedway has always been under consideration for the Convention. Nothing new there!
I'm amazed at the cost for police and secret service at the conventions, however I really think that I just made a bad career choice... $alary must be great for $ecret $ervice.
Thanks Mark and Domenico.
Mittens continues to show that he is not a leader. If you can't make a statement on a SCOTUS decision, you are not only impossibly weak, but not terribly bright.
Can't you just see Mittens in a crisis? What we would get from him?
SILENCE.
He would wait, scramble around, desperate to have someone else tell him what to do. And in that void would step the worst characters possible from the fringe right.
Mittens cannot be trusted to take care of his own animals...why would you trust him with the nation?
"Mittens cannot be trusted to take care of his own animals"
How pathetic are you moonbats? You really think you are going to get the failure in chief and dog-eater Obama a second term, based on the fact Romney successfully took his dog on a vacation trip in the 1980s?
We are well aware of how the Romney's care for their animals - they dope them, which is what they will no doubt do to the nation.
NDD....the response would be like GW's to the disaster of Katrina, inaction and silence as people suffered. The images of that horrific disaster will always stand as perpetual reminders of how incompetent and callous the GWB administration was in taking care of the American people.
It sure would, GBM. Mittens is starting to really remind me of Bush.
"they dope them..."
And instead of treating a horse with an injured leg, and spending some of the cash that they stole from hardworking, middle class Americans, they sell him on to a "friend" without notifying her of the horse's injury.
For over $150,000.
Really fine people, Annie and Mittens. They are the worst of the worst.
newdayDAWNING...RETURNED - he has always reminded me of the inept one. Nothing new for the GOP - just recycled garbage!
It certainly does appear that way.
Are you kidding?
Mr. Romney and his campaign can't even figure out where THEY stand on immigration (other than say, "We Have A Plan"). He still can't formulate an opinion on the President's enforcement policy.
...and you expect him to give an opinion on the Supreme Court's decision on SB 1070 in Arizona???
Keep shakin'!!! Etch-A-Sketch 2012!!!
I wish we could Etch-A-Sketch Obama's massive debt and deficit way ....
Along with all of his other disasters ....
That would be nice ....
A former U.S. president is accusing the current president of sanctioning the "widespread abuse of human rights" by authorizing drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists.
Jimmy Carter, America's 39 th president, denounced the Obama administration for "clearly violating" 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, writing in a New York Times op-ed on Monday that the "United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights."
sirie - he also accused Bush of mass murder in Iraq. So?
And the republicans countered that Jimmy Carter's opinions were irrelevant. So they want to use him now?
Always the way it is with Republicans. And five minutes from now, they will be calling Carter the worst President EVER, though that title belongs to Bush Jr.
I despised Bush about as much as I despise Obama, only difference was I didn't vote for Bush.
Romney is an empty suit with no opinions.
A good manager would have had a statement prepared no matter how the SCOTUS jumped on this issue. If you can't be prepared for something that takes months to occur how can anyone expect you manage to the job of President? Just shows what a loser the romney really is.
Welcome to the New America. With corporations choosing our Presidents for us, the candidates no longer have to provide answers to the voting public.
Gov. Bob McDonnell shifted from his usual response when questioned about a potential vice presidential bid while speaking on WTOP's "Ask the Governor." He had previously indicated he was not actively seeking the position, but might consider it if asked.
On Tuesday, he told WTOP he would not comment now that Romney is openly vetting candidates, such as Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a Tea Party favorite.
"I'm not discussing the vice presidential vetting process," said McDonnell, the governor of the nation's top state for business, according to a 2011 study. "You can address those questions to the Romney campaign."
The change in tone indicates he might soon become one of the other public figures Romney is now openly vetting for the position.
Meanwhile, in keeping up with that Boy Scout motto of being prepared, McDonnell is lubing up his probe in anticipation of being thoroughly vetted by several of Romney's offshore top 'private dick' agencies.
Pick VP Bob. PLEASE!
Keep dreaming Bob, ifs and buts.
If a frog had a hip pocket he'd tote a gun and shoot snakes with it
Bob in VA -
Here's the rest of the article you just cut and pasted and passed off as your own:
"In April, McDonnell told WTOP he would be open to accepting the position of running mate, if asked.
"If the nominee comes, of course you consider it," McDonnell said, adding he
is not proactively "looking for" or "asking for" the position.
In May, McDonnell told WTOP he was planning to finish out his term as governor, suggesting he would not leave before finishing his term in 2012 to campaign as a member of Romney's ticket. He also said categorically he was not being vetted by the campaign at that time."
And here's the actual article itself:

Even some quotation marks would have been a nice idea......
OH BOB IN VA!.... Wanna bet $10,000.00 your state goes BLUE in November? Comon, you can afford it as a paid republican shill now can't ya?
Since most of these candidates are expecting to run in 2016 at the end of Obama's second term none of them want to be associated with the romney's failue in 2012.
Funny how many democrats are running to the Romney camp now ....
I think the Republicans know that they have picked a loser in Romney.
But Obama is 1,000 times more of a looser ....
bigbenalaska - only in your head are any Democrats running to the Romney camp!
As much as it pains me I have to agree with Ben that Obama is definitly LOOSER than the romney who is still the biggest LOSER in the race. ( Much as anyone that confuses the use of loser/looser )
Hey bigben...with a little....How's that Laska welfare workin out for ya? Get your check yet?
Can you find the error in Obama's latest poll numbers which have been in the dumps for weeks now day after day .... "LOL"
