Polls suggest the economy is becoming heavier burden for Obama
Ahhhh Yesss!
That marvelous Ryan budget plan which Willard has wrapped his arms around in a nice tight *hug*!
Seniors... GET YOUR GROUPONS...
GET YOUR GROUPONS HERE...
Then there is the other little problem with it, where is doesn't really balance the budget until 2040!
WHOOPSY!
If it doesn't fit on a bumper sticker, it's beyond the grasp of the right wing nitwits!
1. Mitt Romney called the Ryan budget 'marvelous'.
2, Thus, the President doesn't need to "attempt to tie" Romney to it.
3. Romney has done that all by himself.
The RyanRomneyGOPKoch quartet are totally on the same page.

I guess its time for Mitten's to pull out the ole Etch-a-Sketch....

glad to see Feisty back on top ...
hey, some of the folks here: don't go negative, lauching a 'red scare'
Let's see - Obama has a job council that he is just 'too busy' to meet with, and of course the Simpson-Bowles commission that he ignored.
And now the sitting incumbent is tied 47-46.
Huh.
Oh and today's jobs numbers.
You all do understand that it's going to get a lot worse before the election.
Who can smell the toast?
LOL Feisty - GROUPONS is so apropos.
Ryan wants a voucher system to replace the hugely successful government-run Medicare
Mitt the Vulture wants to make more obscene profits, along with other vultures, throwing your grandma under the bus -
Question: where does Mitt put his dog?
Yo Backhouse - Care to compare the support of Ryan's budget with Obama's budget?
97-0 Backhouse. That's just poor.
Oh yea, we knew the unAmerican (Karl Rove)Super Pacs would be out to confuse people.
Shame, Shame, it's a shame. These turds think they can buy America.
No, they cannot real people vote not polls!!!

I want to thank Annie Romney for clearing up how they really feel about us; "you people";
Us... "you people" greatly appreciate it!
Let them eat cake!
The Electoral polls look very dismal for NitMitt........

WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney's wife is reinforcing her husband's refusal to make public several years of tax returns, saying "we've given all you people need to know" about the family's finances.
Makes no difference to us Bitch. We're going to be sending your husband packing in November, anyway!!!!

MMMM... TOAST!
Hey there Spanker
Let's see - Obama has a job council that he is just 'too busy' to meet with, and of course the Simpson-Bowles commission that he ignored.
John Boehnor and the House meets how often? Very little! They control the purse strings; yet they ignore the needs of climate change, jobs, education, and so on and so forth.
Please, go back to your boat and waste your time there.

Can you believe the arrogance of the "Horse Lady"?
Had First Lady Michelle Obama made that remark the birthers and baggers would be out in full force.
Hey, Mrs Romney you need to focus on November 6th 2012.
No kidding Feisty. Or "you peasants." A phrase often used by robber barons.
Sadly Bev... I can!
Keep in mind this is the same broad who feels it's "their turn"!
Not what vision she & he have for America... just their entitlement mentality!
DCIA,
I can picture it now he they manage to steal the WH.
Little Annie standing on the balcony of her ivory tower in a $900.00 t-shirt tossing stale bread to us peasants...
Then riding off on her dancing horse & waving!
... don't you know where service porch is? This is the front door. What would the neighbors say? Good help is so hard to find these days. Riff Raff...
That has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves! "you people"
What an arrogant family! Sadly, the GOPr's think there is going to be some kind of miracle where the Romney family actually CARES about anything besides themselves and "getting their turn."
Man it's a tough day for Team Blue here at FR. You folks are going to be dizzy from all the spinning you have done this week.
"Mrs. Thurston Howell the Third" "Lovey",Mrs. Romney"There are so many things that will be open again for more attack, and you just give more material for more attack, and that's the answer. We've given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and about how we live our life," Mrs. Romney said on ABC."
Why not make people feel better and release them. His father did. It makes you think that he is hiding something bad.

The war on anything will always be from the Republican side, including the war on businesses. It is the Teapublicans who blocked the Jobs Act, tax cuts for small business, and let's see how many in the GOP/TP vote for the Bring Home Jobs Act today.
When more and more people see the many benefits of ACA, the "MediScare" lies will die a slow death as well.
Correction, it is the Bring Jobs Home Act (got interrupted, sorry).
Mr. Romney is currently attacking our President for money that went to his 2008 campaign bundlers companies while Mr. Romney will not release the names of his bundlers as Senator Obama did.
Just like his tax returns.
Even the only full year tax return released is missing information either because those pages were left out of the released tax document intentionally or they were not filed which would be a violation of tax law.
His 2010 tax return is missing the Report on Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR)

Yo Dennis, all that is so very important.
Dennis, did you catch this morning's jobs report? Dennis, why can't Obama find the time to meet with his jobs council?
Because everything they proposed has been shelved or shot down in the House.
And there is no hope for anything to pass before the election
Spanky - If you so concerned about jobs, why don't tell your Tea-Bagger Congressmen to get of their asses and help out for a change. Oh, that's right, that's not part of the "lets make O a one term President" and to hell with the country plan....
Obama/Biden 2012
My new projected election out come totals are:

Projected Loser Romney 245
Dennis, Columbus, Ohio
Mr. Romney is currently attacking our President for money that went to his 2008 campaign bundlers companies while Mr. Romney will not release the names of his bundlers as Senator Obama did.
Furthermore, those people have not released his full tax records from 2010, including key documentation connected to his Swiss bank account. and his tax havens in the Cayman Islands and the rest of the world.
President Obama and previous President's have including Willard's father.
Dennis usually I would agree whole heartedly about Republican obstructionism, but the bipartisan infrastructure and transportation bill was passed in late June. Senate passed it in the afternoon once the R bill went through the house. It only took them almost two years but the GOP finally did their job on that particular vote. Unfortunately it hurts environmental impact studies in regards to construction projects, meant as a way to quicken construction time.
I am hopeful that the funding ($109 billion) will allow for a big boost of job numbers maybe not for July but they might show up in August, September and October just in time for the election. Mitt may well be kicking rocks if this benefits the unemployment numbers.
Hey Spankster, why can' Boenhner find time to get the tea people Koch republican do nothing congress to debate a jobs bill. Oh that's right he'd miss happy hour at his favorite bar. Remember Boenhners republican do nothing congress works 2 weeks and takes a week off.
Mark,
Much of the funding in the bill was to keep existing projects going. They even passed a continuing resolution to allow time for the new bill to get thru the formal process. The CR was signed by our President just before midnight on June 30th.
Also this was John Boehner’s prize initiative for the 112th Congress and he had a very difficult time getting anything passed among his own caucus.
Dennis - Thanks for the additional information. I hope the legislation saves existing jobs and creates new one.
It makes one thing about that ad like a video game with Romney taking out all his fellow Republican opponents in the primary, and then his gun backfires sh!t all over him.
Who voted against the Bring Jobs Home Act today?
I love Patty Murphy's plan to let the Bush Tax cuts expire.
Yeah, too bad that'll never, ever happen.
But tell us Job1, who has created more jobs - you or Murray?
It's Patty Murray. Degree in physical education. She's now claiming she knows things about the economy and tax policy.
Do you feel safe? Think a real company would have a phy ed major making major economic decisions?

Hey, Sniff1 GW Bush had a MBA and he wasn't the best shrub in the trees!!!!
Bev,
what is the definition of insane:" doing the same thing over again expecting different results."
The GOP just wants one more chance to do the same thing that got us in this mess in the first place.
Let all the Bush tax cuts expire Democrats. Then give the people making less than $250,000 a tax cut, and see how many tea people Koch republicans will vote a against a middle class tax cut. What a brilliant idea. Kudos to Patty Murray. Grover Norquist is already shaking in his boots, or to be honest in his $600.00 patent leather shoes.

So true NorthstarDFL,
That is why it is so important to vote straight Democrat and fight voter suppression. The only way they can win is to CHEAT!!!
The GOPhers on that wheel run over and over in a vicious circle; crazy.

JAS---is it beyond you that Patty Murray might have studied the issues, done her research and spoken to experts in order to formulate policy? I know that the Republicans just ask Grover Norquist or ALEC or some other group to do their work for them but the Democrats roll up their sleeves and do the work themselves.
Ole Grover will be so pisssssed.

Illinois City Calls On Mitt Romney To Stop Bain-Owned Company From Outsourcing 170 Local Jobs

Hello Job1
I like to keep an eye on this
http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/
Hi ranmarie,
Nate Silver is Great. I follow all of his research.
Illinois City Calls On Mitt Romney To Stop Bain-Owned Company From Outsourcing 170 Local Jobs
Ranmarie - Are you kidding? Mittens has spent to much time trying to distance himself from Bain Capital, Or as Rush puts it "Bane", to be concerned with helping anybody. Besides, Mitten's looks at this as good business, and profitable. That greedy little twit would outsource the whole country if he got his hands on it.
Obama/Biden 2012 - Your freedom depends on it!!!

Ann Romney has never had to clip a coupon to save on her grocery bill. She's never worked on a Saturday to make the over-time pay, missing her son's Little League game, to make ends meet. Ann Romney has never had to live pay check to pay check. She has never had to explain to her kids why the neighbors have cable and they don't. She has never had to borrow money at the end of the month to by gas for the car to get herself to work and the kids to school.
Ann Romney married a man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Ann Romney has never had to lie awake at night wondering.....
Beautiful & truth full comment Diane!
Hey Diane, has Michelle Obama ever had to do any of those things?
Do you people even think before you post?
White Collar - Michelle Obama doesn't worry about putting food on the table. However, I understand that Michelle Robinson grew up in a working class family. Her father worked hard and struggled to provide for them. I bet she had a few of those nights wondering...
Beyond the 1st lady and her potential successor I think the comment was directed more for the average citizen. However, now that you bring them up the real question is which of these women can better relate to the average person. Who do you think can understand why social services, or medicare, or children's programs are more then just numbers on a spreadsheet? Who do you think understands that a balanced approach calling for increased revenues(taxes) and smart spending reform (cuts) are the way to move forward to fund our entitlements and our government.
There's the you people reference again...
Who is it that doesn't think again? lol
WCA - You have to admit there is some inherent snobbery in the "you people" comment made by Ann Romney. And most of us DO think before we post. "Think" being the key word.
I don't know if Michelle Obama clipped coupons - it wouldn't surprise me considering her background and how she was raised. I do know Michelle Obama didn't marry a millionaire.
It's obvious White Collar Auto doesn't think period.
Diane---let's be fair to Ann Romney now---they had to.....gasp.....sell stock to get through college! The Romneys call those the "dark days". Nowadays she thinks nothing of wearing a $900 tee shirt. (and an ugly one at that!).
Ummm no, WCA ... if you'd READ before you post, Michelle came from a very middle class family. Her father was a city water plant employee and her mother was a secretary at a Spiegel store.
There you go with facts again Layton, you know facts confuse WCA and the other tea people Koch republicans.
I know I should not but, what the heck here goes, Do you all remember these:
I know that they agreed not to bring the families into this mess but since Ms Romney came back to defend the outsourcer of our jobs why not:
Measuring the drapes: Ann and Mitt Romney say, ‘it’s our turn’

"I love the fact that there are also women out there that don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids,” Mrs. Romney said. "Thank goodness that we value those people too. And sometimes life isn’t easy for any of us."

OMG! I actually watched the video of her this morning and yep, she said "you people!" Thanks for the others links, ranmarie. What an arrogant snob!!!!! Total opposite of our caring first lady!
Romney is in the anti-jobs party and trying to hide what he did in his limited style business. Republicans filibustered a small business tax credit bill to death just a week ago, and have, of course, buried the president's American Jobs Act under committee room rugs.
Republicans are not into employment, they are into tax breaks for big business and the wealthy - free money from Washington to supplement record breaking corporate profits. Billionaires are spending millions of dollars to keep the profits from Washington increasing. The money that used to trickle down to sold out Republican legislators is now flooding in. The 1% expect a big return on their investment in republicans and Romney and Ryan have assured them that they will get it, all at the expense of the middle class and the poor.
Huge program cuts are coming in education, medical benefits, Social Security, aid to the disabled, food programs for the unemployed and poor, and health care for children of the poor and working poor. This is one time when republicans are completely ignoring the church and Christian moral principles. The prophets are spelled p-r-o-f-i-t-s.
