Biden said in Iowa yesterday: “The unemployed are in real trouble. My grandpa used to say — he’s from Scranton — he’d say, ‘Joey, when the guy in Dunmore — the next town over — when the guy in Dunmore’s out of work it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law’s out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression. … It’s a depression for millions and millions of Americans. It’s a depression.”
Caroline Kennedy campaigned for Obama in New Hampshire last night.

Joe spoke the truth for once.
Mark it down cause it probably will not happen again.
Aaahhhhh, Joe "the gift that keeps on giving" Biden has put his foot in his mouth yet again. Obama took over in a recession, and Biden has now declared we are in a depression. Looks like "Joe" will be in the dog house tonight !
At least he spoke the truth,instead of lying to make it look like its really better than it is like the current POUS does.
Good political reporting. Short, Concise, Truthful.
Military Members, Veterans, Military retirees; note that Romney PROMOTED THE DRAFT during the Viet Nam War,
then skipped out to France for extraordinary length of time when church missionary tours were limited.
When Romney came home, he sided with his dad that the whole Viet Nam War was a scam and that he
was against the war. Promoting the draft, while Americans were dieing, he skipped out, then says he
wishes he could have participated. His whole life has been a lie.
Romney is a COWARD, Lying, Draft Dodger, who promoted someone else to die for him, that is
his way of management. One may want anyone but Obama, but this guy ranks with Jane Fonda and
should not be given anything or elected for anything. A low life human being who has risen to the top
because of his families money.
amen bob.
bob. have you read any history om romney? didnt think so. dont be such a hater. get back to work and start payin for my health care will ya?
now that my house is paid in full, i only need 150 a week to live on, giving a healthy able guy like me FREE HEALTH CARE! THANKS! LOL AT YOU!
Reliable Bob:
You're right, and being a liar and a draft dodger is only permissable if you are a democrat. Bubbha showed us that. If you knew your Obama history as well as you seem to know Romney, you would know that Obama has made a career out of associations with highly questionable people. But I'm sure that's ok too, because they were left wing highly questionable people. Extremists are only dangerous if they are to the right of center.
Republicans need to understand that you and many others on this board cannot be appeased; nor can you be reasoned with, you must be defeated.
eh Bob your are an stupid sob, all leftist like you prefer the USA going down the tubes,obama will be out of the WH BY NOVEMBER
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE TROOPS
No Hector, you are a stupid S.O.B. . See how much more inpact the words have when you compose the sentence correctly. If you are going to live here learn the language.
GOD HELP AMERICA AND THE TROOPS
SAID SANDY, WHO NEEDS spell check and only grunts one language
Sandy. How in the world can you possibly criticize someone about how they type out a sentence, when you cant spell. Words make so much more IMPACT in a sentence when spelled correctly. Maybe you can enlighten us all on what INPACT means. Maybe if you want to live here you need to learn our language. What a min I it get now. You just made a typographical error much like Hector probably did.You must be a racist and felt that because of Hectors name he isn't a legal born in America citizen... I bet if I used my last name which is also Spanish. You would feel that way about me. I was born here in America,started paying taxes with my very first job when I was 12 yrs old,and served my country for 6 years as a US NAVY Seabee. What have you done other than criticize for something your no better at. I have a name for you but cant say it here.
guys-I gotta agree with Sandy and Bob-Been waiting for a moderate Republican to save the day but here we have Romney-an elitist, a man so out of touch with the real world he actually SAID he likes to fire people, a man who likes outsourcing and hostile takeovers-and y'all want HIM in the Whitehouse???? What part of "I like to fire people" don't you understand? I would rather have a known quantity in the Whitehouse right now. Remember that the economic predicament we find ourselves in started BEFORE Obama was elected. If you remember correctly Clinton left the Whitehouse with a surplus-the next two presidents-in particular the latter - squandered it. There WAS no oversite for banks-they did what they pleased-the war in Iraq was a product of misinformation and manipulation-I could go on and on. At least Obama and his government are TRYING (however feeble their efforts) to somehow fix it. And how many of you know the difference between Fascism, Socialism, Communism and Laissez-faire capitalism. OK-here ya go-Fascists are far rightists to the extreme; Communists are far left-extreme-neither is a good thing-When you vote for Romney or Obama you are being asked to choose between a quasi-socialist/populist government or a laissez faire capitalist government (supported by the far right). We currently live in a country which I think is part capitalist part socialist-you DON"T want laissez faire capitalism-think of smoggy air, an extreme division between rich and poor and big money running this country the like of which you have never seen (go back to the time between 1870 and 1910-sweat shops and child labor were in vogue then). And how do I know this? I studied history, I travel and (omg!!! ) I speak 3 languages besides English-and I am older...and I am proud to say I am married to a Vietnam Veteran who honorably served and have a foster son who served in Desert Storm and has paid the price! We support our troops in all ways but we do not support the wars!
Sandy:
Criticizing Hector's sentence structure is ridiculous. Everybody knows that otherwise meticulous people are less attentive to their english when they post on a message board. I even found a minor error on your post!
The next time you post to a message board, try saying something substantive.
haha bob and sandy. its a standard lib response learned in lib school. make fun of typos and grammar when you cant respond intelligently, which is ALWAYS
Low life phoney who wants to be president, I don't think so.
Military people are against you Romney.
I suppose you are reffering to the 25% of the military that votes Democrat. The remaining 75% conservative part of the military will vote as close to conservative values as possible...and that would not be Obama...
Everybody in this country is depressed. Why should Obama be any different?
Also, if I had been hired to do a job that is as important as President of The United States, and I had done the kind of job that Obama has done, I would be depressed too.
Republican sheeple are abundant today. Idiots. No other word for folks who continue voting for the GOP - the party that destroyed America. George W. Bush and his rubberstamp Republican Congress created massive deficits, paid for nothing and then Georgie bankrupted the country on the way out. Eight long years of Bush's reign of error caused this disaster along with thirty years of failed Voodoo Economics. Romney in the White House will be the death of America and Democracy.
Romney the job destroyer hides his money in Swiss bank accounts and the Cayman Islands. That's not presidential material. Romney said, "Let Detroit go bankrupt." Not a good businessman. Romney bankrupted companies, moved jobs offshore and pocketed millions - leaving employee pension and retirement plans to the Government - While he pocketed Millions. Sorry, not presidential material - just a greedy corporate raider, destroying jobs, communities and America. Mitt is unfit to be president by any measure.
Romney believes in America so little that he refuses to invest in America and hides his wealth in offshore accounts to avoid taxes. Republicans are the most dangerous people in America today. The consequences of Romney in the White House would be worse than any terrorist attack on America. Vote for Mitt the job destroyer - maybe you willbe lucky enough to land one of those crappy minimum wage jobs with no benefits he created at Staples. Staples.....LOL! What a legacy.
No one believes less in America than Obama. The biggest anti-American in the country.
Anyone with a functional brain knows that it is the republicans that have royally scr*wed the middle class and the poor for at least 30 years now!!!! There is no longer a right wing,,,there is only extremists on the right now i.e. the tea party,,,,,the rest I feel sorry for because they have lies, distortions, and half-truths crammed down their throats by the right-wing owned media, which BTW is just about all networks, newspapers and magazines.
If you have been a republican for most of your life, I wonder how you justify this new breed you are stuck with!!!! The right is OWNED by the richest and most powerful, however, we are not stupid,,,,all the money in the world is not going to buy you the"suit" you said you wanted to sit in the office of president and sign your agenda into law!!!!! Even if it takes a revolution, we shall prevail!!!
Romney is a puppet of the Right Wing Corporate Elitist Manipulators who believe they know they are Superior to all other Citizens of the USA.
They dangle issues that excite their sheep base in order for the Power Grab for 2 things only: MONEY AND CONTROL.
The GOP does not care in anyway about their sheep other than as a vehicle to objective to divide and concur for CONTROL.
Romney is a Corporate Raider, Liar, Manipulator and Cheat. He would sooner alleviate himself on you before spending a minute of time to truly care (if he even knows what it is to care about anyone other than himself).
"Romney is a puppet of the Right Wing Corporate Elitist Manipulators..."
Wrong!?! He is one of the puppeteers.
YES - YES - YES - YES
Osama Obama has gotten us closer to DEPRESSION.
Obama has taken us from bad a MALAISE.....
