WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Speaking to a boisterous crowd at a retirement community here, President Obama played the seasoned campaign veteran, unbowed by his opponent Mitt Romney’s negative ads even as the two trade barbs over each other's records and rhetoric.
“Frankly, I'd be worried if this were my first campaign. But I've been to this rodeo before,” Obama told a crowd of 675 at the Century Village retirement community on Thursday.
He joked that the crowd should just mute the negative TV ads inundating this crucial swing state, and acknowledged that their visual impact wouldn’t be too appealing either.
“Some of the pictures of me will be unflattering. Now, my face is all distorted, one eye's all droopy,” he said, imitating what some of the images in the ads would look like. “Right? I'm looking all grim,” he continued as the crowd roared with laughter.
The group of seniors and their family members, packed into a low-ceilinged clubhouse, was particularly rowdy, frequently shouting words of encouragement over the president and breaking into chants of “four more years!” whenever he paused.
The president seemed to feed off the crowd, especially after he made his way to the podium having waded through a crowd of senior women who were particularly excited to see him.
“That’s the most kisses I’ve gotten at any campaign event!” he said as he reached the stage.
Later, as an audience member’s phone rang, the president joked that it was his wife Michelle calling because she heard he was getting so much affection at the event.
Obama tailored his speech to fit this crowd, hitting similar notes as he did earlier at an event in Jacksonville - criticizing Romney’s plans for Medicare (he says Romney’s changes would cost seniors up to $6,400 more) but also appealing to the group’s strong support for Israel.
He condemned the “barbaric” terrorist attack in Bulgaria that killed five Israelis.
“I know a lot of people in this community care about the state of Israel. And we are heartbroken,” he said of the bombing.
He added that the rapid changes in the Middle East and the bloodshed in Syria meant that “now's the time to make sure we're doing everything we can to protect Israel's security.”
The president continues his campaign swing through Florida Friday with stops in Fort Myers and Orlando.


maninjapan... I think Mr. Nazarite is sometimes have fun at our expense. It seems more like writing exercise for him more than a political posturing exercise. Don't get me wrong, I think he's right wing as tea-pooper. This is more of an amusement park for him than anything else...
On a related note, Romney was roundly cheered at a meeting of People With Rich Daddys. His money was praised for how hard it worked, especially the part of his money that was parked in a Swiss Bank Account.
Obama was cheered by a group of "Who's Yer Daddy" at the NAALCP.
NAALCP?
National Association for the Advancement of Lavender Colored People?
National Association for the Advancement of Lesbian Colored People?
National Association for the Advancement of Lebanese Colored People?
National Association for the Advancement of Loony Conservative Pinheads?
Look Nazarite, we all know you're a closet Obama admirer. Just come out and take that awful weight from your shoulders.
It'll feel good, I promise!
Then young Barry was whisked by submarine to Hawaii, where other Muslim moles had infiltrated and now dominated the state government. The Mullahs knew that the young Barry could never be President of the United States unless he was a "Natural Born Citizen". They plotted and prayed to Allah on how to accomplish this before he turned 36 and was thus eligible to be President.
Soon, a deal was struck. The secret Muslim committee that was now in charge of Hawaii, known as The Secret Muslim Committee to Destroy Freedom in America and the highly secret Secret Liberal Muslim Hawaiian Journalists Communist Fascists Cell agreed to put young Barry's birth announcement in the Hawaii newspapers 10 years earlier, so that no one would know that he was really born to a virgin in a mud hut in Kenya.
Soon he was growing up, pretending to just another all-American boy, but was secretly spending time with other young freedom haters, like Robert Ayers, who told young Barry of his plan to infiltrate the Denver Broncos and destroy their freedom from within.
Not coincidentally, every Hawaiian resident in 1962, received a 55" flat screen television and a set of 22" rims, to buy their silence, and thus ensure the success of the insidious, muslim, fascist, communist, socialist, plot.
Far away, in Utah, another young boy was growing up very differently. Young Mittens was being by raised by all of his mothers with traditional Mormon family values. He would never dream of letting his trousers droop at the waist until his magic underwear was visible. He worshipped Jesus spaceship daily and dreamed of the day that Jesus would execute a soft landing in his E.E.M or Earth Excursion Module to take his place beside Mittens and rule the earth for eternity, with liberty and justice, under god, for all.
REPEAT!
REPEAT!
Oh, no. Obama doesn't care for Seniors or Medicare one bit. This is just another LIE! OBAMACARE REDUCES MEDICARE FOR SENIORS! That is what he ISN"T telling Seniors! Of course he isn't telling them that because that doesn't take effect until AFTER the November election! How convenient for our so-called "President" Obama! He's a SHYSTER! Obama, start packing! You and Michelle are going BYE BYE soon becaue you have proven you are not fit for the White House! So sorry you have turned out to the as you called it, "A one-term President."
With a little luck, these old geesers won't make it "4 more months"
obama,if you're so great, then why can't you man up and be transparent? why is your campaign so negative, nasty, mean, dishonest? if you're everything you claim you are, why can't you run on your record?
you know why? because you and michelle and eric holder...all from chicago...you can't hold a candle to martin luther king! you have all proven yourselves to be losers to the 'n' degree and just another bad example.
You should be worried because on this rodeo, you are going to get bucked off in Nov.
I rarely invoke the Bush years, but just for Mr. Nazarite...
re; Obama's spleacial admissions... You think GW got into Harvard on an academic scholorship?
re; Obama's Motto... Remember when GW was interviewed and asked what mistakes he had made and his response was "I can't remember any".?
GailRenae, did you watch any of the primary? Romney was king of negativity and we've only seen the tip of his nastiness and we'll see the full bloom as we approach the election. So please, don't be hypocritical...
And you clearly have no idea what his record is... If you did (and others in here) you wouldn't be making silly remarks. And who pray tell has compared him to MLK??? Making things up to try and prosecute a position are we?
How is he reducing Medicare for seniors? Tell us specifics not stupid FOX News sound bites and lies.
Can't wait...
I did not know George W. applied to college as a "Foreign" Student, nor was he given special consideration because he was black.
In a report prepared with Robert Book for the Heritage Foundation, we found that Obamacare will cut Medicare Advantage payment rates by an average of $3,700 per beneficiary in 2017, or 27 percent below the payment rates that would have been made without Obamacare. These cuts will translate directly into higher health-care costs for seniors. Seniors who remain in Medicare Advantage will face higher costs, because the cuts will force the plans to cut back on the benefits they offer and to charge higher cost-sharing for the services they do cover. Further, seniors who will be pushed out of Medicare Advantage and back into the traditional program will lose entirely the added benefits provided by most Medicare Advantage plans. None of this is captured in Fidelity’s analysis.
This is no small matter. Seniors losing $3,700 per year from enrollment in Medicare at 65 until their deaths at age 77 or 78 would lose about $44,000 in benefits over their lifetimes, all because of Obamacare’s cuts. That dwarfs the supposed benefits that Fidelity’s analysis assigns to Obamacare’s closing of the donut hole (the Medicare Part D coverage gap).
The aggregate numbers tell the story too. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), Obamacare’s closing of the donut hole will increase Medicare spending by about $25 billion over ten years. But at the same time, Obamacare’s cut in payments to Medicare Advantage plans will reduce spending by $137 billion over ten years. So the cut exceeds the new spending on the drug benefit by more than $100 billion. Who will bear the burden of those cuts? Seniors will.

A Mirage
A mirage is something that appears to be real at a distance. Often the vision is something the viewer wishes dearly to be true. The image brought to mind is a man desperately wandering in the desert, his lips parched from thirst, skin burnt from the sun. He looks ahead and sees the heat rising from the desert. Off in the distant, he sees the reflection from a pool of fresh water. He cries out water, water, I’m saved. Being filled with hope, he gathers his strength and starts running, slowly at first towards the water. As he approaches the mirage, the image of cool refreshing water fades to nothing. In horror, the man has learned the truth, that the water was never there. He has wasted the last reserves of energy, sits by the bank of the mirage and dies.
This country having moral and financial strength is a mirage. This week, August 5th , 2011 the financial rating of America was downgraded by Standard and Poor’s. The progressives are attacking the messenger, saying their calculations must be incorrect. The all knowing, all caring Progressives and “RINO’s” can never accept that we are going bankrupt. Our political leaders spend borrowed money as if it was just paper, as if our impending economic collapse was just a mirage. By 2017, the annual interest payment on the national debt will be ONE Trillion Dollars, or 40% of current federal tax receipts.
The Takers were kept fat and happy living off the efforts of others, borrowed money which the yet unborn will have to re pay. We allow millions of illegal Aliens to flow into our care. We then provide all their necessities of life - food, shelter, education, medical care, clothing and all you can eat taco bars. The illegal’s give US in return crime, drugs and a diminished standard of living. It does not matter if we cannot afford to pay the cost of entitlements, Obama can always borrow money. Obama is making history, February 2012 saw the largest budget deficit in one month. June 28th, 2012, the once Supreme Court upheld the legality of Obamacare. May God have mercy upon our country.
Written by a female Obama supporter who voted for him for president.
Legitimate Question
This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. I voted for Obama. McCain was a Washington insider and we don't need any more of them. I have changed my mind three times, since then. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. I started thinking "where does all the money come from for President Obama"? I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans. I started looking into Obama's history for my own peace of mind.
Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. "Barry" (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan . During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a "round the world" trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family.
My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they were in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap to say the least.
My girls asked me; where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe it's none of my business?
After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York . By "chance" he met Antoin "Tony" Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery several times in the past and in 2011.
Rezko, was named "Entrepreneur of the Decade" by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association". About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ?
Where did he get the money for Law School ? More student loans? His family has no money that's for sure.
After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what I discovered? They represented "Rezar" which is Rezko's firm.
Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with "seed money" for his U.S. Senate race.
In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With A LL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for this property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie J arrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was J arrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Am I going nuts or is there a pattern here?
On May 10, 2008, The Times reported, Rob ert Malley advisor to Obama was "sacked" after the press found out he was having regular contacts with "Hamas", which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will "Take care of things". What the heck does that mean?
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that were born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those "small" Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2009, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, "My Muslim faith". When questioned, "he made a mistake". Some mistake huh?
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie J arrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our "intelligent" members of the press been reporting this? Is this a Kettle of Fish?? As Arsenio Hall would say.----"HUMMMMMMM! Does something stink or is it my imagination?" These are legitimate questions for our president.

Nazarite, I'll assume you're referring to The President's Occidental application.
That birther lie about him applying as a foreigner to receive special consideration was debunked way back in 2009. Try and keep up with the current lie machine. I know it's hard given the thing is set on "FULL AHEAD"...
You speaking with Trump again?
From the article (Obama)" condemned the “barbaric” terrorist attack in Bulgaria that killed five Israelis".
I guess he would since he is responsible for the killer being freed from Gitmo. Instead of letting those guy go why not give them military tribunals followed by a good old fashioned hanging? Then we would not have to condemn any attacks or mourn any Israeli deaths.
Chrysler and GM (government motors) would not change their union thug bosses dominated ways and will eventually do the way of the Dodo. A new Chevy Impala actually cost fifty nine thousand, two hundred dollars and twelve cents. The dealer sells the vehicle for $25,000 and the balance is paid by the taxpayer. The Chevy Volt became a good weenie roaster. What’s good for the union bosses is terrible for Us. What a deal for the taxpayers! Was this the “New Math” of the socialist? What’s even better, it’s done all with borrowed money. Our grandchildren, great grandchildren will be forced to continue paying for extinct auto companies and the greed of the union bosses. I can imagine many years in the future a young child asking his grandfather “what is a GM?” Sadly the grandfather replies “one of many past costly mistakes for you to pay.” The grandfather reluctantly tells the three year old that his part of the debt is $957,299. The grandson then goes and returns with Monopoly Money. His grandfather upon seeing the play money says “that will do.” Too many living for the moment is all that mattered, until they were cut off from the government’s rear teat. Would the Progressive-Union Bosses, GE and Taker love affair continue without extortion money stolen from the taxpayers?
Then young Barry was whisked by submarine to Hawaii, where other Muslim moles had infiltrated and now dominated the state government. The Mullahs knew that the young Barry could never be President of the United States unless he was a "Natural Born Citizen".

In 2010 Obama nominated Elena Kagan, a radical leftist socialist and she was confirmed as a new associate justice of the Supreme Court. The prior year he nominates Sonia Sotomayer and she was also confirmed. With these two Progressive Supreme Court Justices, forty five percent of the justices did not believe in the original intent and meaning of the US Constitution. This was just an old piece of paper that hindered their evil ambitions. November, 2011 was a turning point in the history of American Justice. A conservative Supreme Court Justice, seeing how Obama decimated and trashed his beloved constitution and rule of law had a fatal heart attack. President Obama even with the impending economic doom of the country knew he had a historic opportunity to appoint another Lib Justice and complete his revenge on US. Never again would there be a five to four decision against his dastardly agenda. His nominated Raskal Ally Khomeini, a childhood friend from Indonesia to be the last Supreme Court Justice. All the Democratic Senators and three Republicans, one being Johnny McCain, voted and confirmed Ally Khomeini. At that moment the court was neither just nor supreme. God had already removed his presence from US. People already panicked by the Liberal‘s destruction of the economy and the inept leadership of the federal government lost all hope and took to the streets. This was definitely not the “Hope and Change “they had expected.
Then young Barry was whisked by submarine to Hawaii, where other Muslim moles had infiltrated and now dominated the state government. The Mullahs knew that the young Barry could never be President of the United States unless he was a "Natural Born Citizen". They plotted and prayed to Allah on how to accomplish this before he turned 36 and was thus eligible to be President.

The left hand of George Soros for years had rocked the cradle of the Progressive Movement. He financially supported many anti-American causes. November 15, 2012 he was mobbed while exiting his limousine in New York City and was fatally trampled. The Takers stole his jewelry, clothes, money and tires from the vehicle. His limo is still left on blocks as a reminder of that day.
The stock market had completely tanked. Berkshire Hathaway INC DEL stock price was $123,356 per share as of April 25, 2011. By the end of 2012 the stock price was $12.3356. This price was outstanding compared to other stocks. The “Oracle of Omaha” Warren Buffett had worked his financial magic once again! Before Warren died, his main regret from his deathbed was not doing more to help the young, incompetent president to destroy US. Geico, a Berkshire Hathaway Company was forced into bankruptcy. Geico tried to continue receiving premiums and paying claims and employees with dollars which were now worthless. This financial charade could not last! The Geico Gecko was given a tiny pink slip joining the millions now unemployed. He was last seen leaving town on foot with his entire Gecko earthy possessions wrapped in a tiny bag at the end of a small twig, hung over his leftist shoulder. He traveled only during the day, since Spotted Owls ruled the night’s sky. At least he was lucky that no clothes were required. He was heading back to his place of origin. He was also disturbed that he could never be President, not being born in America. Dang, “Obama gets away with everything” was heard as the walked away. Geico’s advertising stated his origin was England, New Zealand or Australia. It can’t be Australia since he is definitely not a marsupial. A built in pouch would be handy for storage.

Wall Street Journal Sizes Up Obama
A "deadly" article regarding Obama,in the Wall Street Journal, which today is the most widely circulated newspaper in America .
Article from the Wall Street Journal - by Alan Caruba:
"I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he's led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some group (George Soros anybody?) took a look at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.
In a very real way, he has been a young man in a very big hurry. Who else do you know has written two memoirs before the age of 45? "Dreams of My Father" was published in 1995 when he was only 34 years old. The "Audacity of Hope" followed in 2006. If, indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who think that his mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a "communist with a small 'c'" was the real author.
His political skills consisted of rarely voting on anything that might be deemed controversial. He went from a legislator in the Illinois legislature to the Senator from that state because he had the good fortune of having Mayor Daley's formidable political machine at his disposal.
He was in the U.S. Senate so briefly that his bid for the presidency was either an act of astonishing self-confidence or part of some greater game plan that had been determined before he first stepped foot in the Capital. How, many must wonder, was he selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the Democrat convention that nominated John Kerry when virtually no one had ever even heard of him before?
He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He took Iowa by storm. A charming young man, an anomaly in the state with a very small black population, he oozed "cool" in a place where agriculture was the antithesis of cool. He dazzled the locals. And he had an army of volunteers drawn to a charisma that hid any real substance.
And then he had the great good fortune of having the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy. He picked Sarah Palin, an unknown female governor from the very distant state of Alaska . It was a ticket that was reminiscent of 1984's Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro and they went down to defeat.
The mainstream political media fell in love with him. It was a schoolgirl crush with febrile commentators like Chris Mathews swooning then and now over the man. The venom directed against McCain and, in particular, Palin, was extraordinary.
Now, 3 full years into his presidency, all of those gilded years leading up to the White House have left him unprepared to be President. Left to his own instincts, he has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.
Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to "wish away" some terrible realities, not the least of which is the Islamist intention to destroy America and enslave the West. Any student of history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread. It knocked on the doors of Europe, having gained a foothold in Spain .
The great crowds that greeted him at home or on his campaign "world tour" were no substitute for having even the slightest grasp of history and the reality of a world filled with really bad people with really bad intentions.
Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the Democrat Party's hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never about the Party. It was always about his communist ideology, learned at an early age from family, mentors, college professors, and extreme leftist friends and colleagues.
Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment about a Boston police officer who arrested an "obstreperous" Harvard professor-friend, but would warn Americans against "jumping to conclusions" about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted "Allahu Akbar." The absurdity of that was lost on no one. He has since compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber "an isolated extremist" only to have to admit a day or two later that he was part of an al Qaeda plot.
He is a man who could strive to close down our detention facility at Guantanamo even though those released were known to have returned to the battlefield against America . He could even instruct his Attorney General to afford the perpetrator of 9/11 a civil trial when no one else would ever even consider such an obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days before having anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist attack on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following day because his first statement was so lame.
The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any problem on the Bush administration or he naively seeks to wish away the truth.
Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people who have maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual's life.
When anyone else would quickly and easily produce a birth certificate, this man spent over a million dollars to deny access to his. Most other documents, the paper trail we all leave in our wake, have been sequestered from review. He has lived a make-believe life whose true facts remain hidden.
We laugh at the ventriloquist's dummy, but what do you do when the dummy is President of the United States?
We the people are coming!
Black is a color. Which half of Obama is black?
The top half? The bottom half? The right half? The left half?
Maybe he's spotted?
Is it hard eating that moon pie with one tooth?
Good question!!
nazarite: Rational Wiki, writing about Alan Caruba, says the following:
"Despite wailing about the supposed fear-mongering of the nutty greenies, Caruba himself takes a black helicopters approach to just about every issue. He promotes all aspects of the global warming conspiracy theory (Climategate, of course, is the smoking gun), which in turn, is all part of a massive commie plot by the United Nations. He also believes public education is part of this vast conspiracy (although, in stopped clock mode, he does slam schools for focusing too much on rote memorization instead of comprehension). He also really hates Mexicans and Muslims. According to Caruba, we must secure the border before illegal immigration destroys the fabric of our society, Islamofascism is just around the corner, and the UN is an enabler of the Muslims' secret plots. We must also be wary of the dreadful homosexual agenda."
People like nazarite and Caruba are simply not playing with a full deck. They're filled with over-generalizations and conspiracy theories that lead them to believe any crazy who tells them what they want to hear. To think that a responsible news organization would print the ravings of a mad man such as Caruba is irresponsible. Yes, freedom of speech does give him and them the right to do so, but we're talking about people who cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy here. Should a respectable news organization print such stuff even on an editorial page? It's just unthinkable to me that a responsible news organization would do that. That is what distinguishes excellent news organizations from trash publications.
It must be4 so galling to the GOPers and their one dimensional constituents that GM has paid back to the government - the peoples government - 90% of that loan and Chrysler all of it and both are operating in the black. The auto industry owes its existence to the wise stewardship of this POTUS. Romney is a slash and burn guy and if there is anything standing after their slash and burn, well they sell it off and claim to be brilliant.
The Ryan budget plan is horrific and its so nice to see that retired Floridians can see through the mish mosh of garbage that the GOPers produce. Hey old man and old woman, here is you voucher. Now go and get that heart transplant, if you can. Bull@!$%# GOPers who do not care about anything but their own benefits, salaries andtheir chronic and addictive lifestyle.
Get rid of them all, especially Eric (the Israeli traitor ) and Boehner( I'm crying over you) .
Obama/Biden 2012
William Smith-543063==Forgot abut that initial down payment from President Bush. I'm sorry if things would have gone south it would have given Obama another blamehim moment. You must have missed the part that the unions now operate GMC. Obama Motors added to Obama Insurance Company. Yeah Obama has your interest in mind.
Hey Nazarite, have you sent in your monthly or yearly dues to the KKK? Hey show us a photo of you in da hood. Cowardly attack on a noble human being. When was the last time this POTUS dehumanized you Nazarite?
Ho back into you cave with all your pandering, right wing, one dimensional, semi autistic brothers and sisters await the end of the world. For you I think it ended a long time ago.
Obama/Biden 2012
William Smith-543063===Damn Willy your completely nuts. Call Obama he might be able to get you some help before 2014 Obama Insurance comes into play. Grow up your youth is showing.
Anyone who is willing to vote for 4 more years of this disasterous administration is just not paying attention, or can't see past the color of his skin. Hope and change became Spend, promote class warfare, and blame, blame, blame. Amazing how he can control the Executive branch and BOTH houses of congress for 2 years, and still have the gall to stand up there and say it's everyone's fault but his. And the morons believe him! Simply amazing.
Keith--It's not hard to see when you understand how Congress works. Therein is the problem for you, isn't it? Another poorly educated maroon (yes, that is the proper word) who is easily manipulated by those who tell you what you want to hear.

It's a well known FACT that Democrat President Bill Clinton replenished Social Security 100% AND had a $40 billion dollar surplus in Social Security when Bill Clinton left office!
Obama/Biden 2012
Oh please you people are wearing that line out. Clinton didn't come close to having all of the problems that faced this Nation under President Bush. Pick up a history book and do some reading please. And wipe your nose young one..
Should change that moniker to "BlowinSmokie"
I wonder if Obama bothered to tell the people gather at that meeting that he was cutting their Medicare benefits by $500 Billion Dollars and adding another $500 Billion Dollars in new expenses.
The AP came out with an article showing that people that are 65 and older are now starting to lose their homes to foreclosure. Expenses go up and benefits go down. The Obama way of life. Soon Fannie Mae will own all of the property in the country. After all they are holding most of the foreclosed homes in stock pile right now. They bought them all up so the lenders could get out of the red. The bad part is that the Tax Payers are having to pick up all of that red combined with Obama's spending habits.
The libs can jabber all they want, but come November, ole Obumblehead will be kicked to the curb in fine style. Bye bye socialist and good riddance.
Not only are Obama's foreign policies dangerous to Israel, the Democratic party's strategy for "energizing" its base is putting Jewish Americans in a precarious and dangerous situation!
Hopefully, history has taught us, the Jewish people to beware if we find ourselves in a country beset by angry rhetoric. If that angry rhetoric is directed at the merchant classes, we should worry that one way or another, whether or not we consider ourselves to be on the same side as those making the angry accusations, that the anger will somehow end up directed at us. If you don't let history teach you anything, shame on you. Already we see the frightening incidents of anti-Jewish hatred among the "progressive"-inspired Occupy Wall Street .
These forces of hatred against the merchant class (and by extension, to the "Jews") have, of course, already been in place for a long time, both on the right and on the left. What is unique now is that President Obama is now artificially stoking the fires of that hatred in order to marshall them as part of a strategy for the solidification of his power. These are dangerous times. The only safe course for the Jews is to work for a diffusion of that anger, and that means to enthusiastically support the side that stands for stability, and to unequivocally condemn the forces that promote the unprecedented anger.
Furthermore, that Mitt Romney should be demonized by the President and the Democrats for basically having been successful in business and for not showing more than the required number of tax returns, and that this is being uncritically accepted by a significant number of Americans is a matter for serious concern by any Jewish person who gives it any intelligent thought.
Of the two choices available in this heavily polarized climate, I'll take the one that stands on the side of the businessperson, the side that believes in American free enterprise which made possible for us to thrive in what earlier generations of Jewish immigrants called "der goldene medina" -- the Golden Land. While many of our Jewish ancestors became Democrats because back then it was the more tolerant of the two parties, if those same people were arriving at our shores today with the intention of pursuing the American dream, they would urge you to vote for Mitt Romney.
Obama's concern over Israeli safety is a joke. Israel has no greater enemy that B. Hussein Obama. Furthermore, Obama's primary concern regarding the tragic murders in Colorado are how he can spin the incident into something vaguely resembling a legitimate attack on the Constitution of the United States of America. If Obama can find some way to diminish our rights under the Second Amendment, he will. If his Supreme Court Appointees can back him, they will. Supporting justice and upholding the U.S. Constitution are not part of their evil deal with Obama. The new justices have proven the Constitution and honesty come in second place behind polictics under their pact with Obama. Shame on you. One day, God will judge every person who knowingly participates in handing down unrighteous verdicts and proclamations from the bench. If Obama's crooked Supreme Court Justices can't fool Americans, how dare they try to make a fool of our Creator?
The one thing I wish all the Romney bashers would do is research the man a little instead of hating him because of the letter R next to his name or the fact that he is rich and successful. How does a man who is supposedly SO despicable donate as much money to charities and efforts to help the needy? Just because he doesn't run around the country bragging about what he does for others ( a little humility used to be an honorable trait ), a lot of people assume that he is a rich guy that doesn't care about anything but screwing the little guy, and by ALL accounts, that's just not true. If you don't like his policies then don't vote for him, but stop spreading the lies. It just makes you sound like whiny, petty, punks that are just jealous of someone elses success. BTW, Mitt Romney donated every penny of his inheritance from his father to charity. Find something bad to say about that, morons. I'll bet the all people that have benefitted from Romney's generosity are glad he is the man that he is.
Keith---Strange comments, particularly when you review the charges made by and against Romney during the Republican presidential primary. Each of the Republican presidential candidates called him a liar and a liberal. Some said there was no "core" to the man and they compared him to an onion---peel back the leaves until, finally, there is no core. You do remember all of that don't you, Keith? Why should you forget it? Why do you support him? What are his political, economic, social, and religious beliefs? I'm not asking you to answer that here, but you do need to answer them for yourself. You appear the total fool making the simple minded comments you're making.

.......So you're saying vote Jewish, is that like saying vote money? Well, if you are so concerned about Israel, go move there and leave America for Americans (oh, and take bjnalaska and his mythical Creator with you) .
I have checked out my statements and stand behind them. I don't just believe everything someone who is campaigning says. I really don't care about his religous beliefs, and his social beliefs are not my main concern. I think he is our best chance at getting some control on the out of control expansion of govt. That is my main concern. As I stated, a lot of people bash him on totally unsubstantiated claims. Again, if you don't like his stand on the issues, don't vote for him. I guess I'm just sick of whiners complaining about rich people. Most of the rich people got that way through hard work and risk. Not all of them, but the vast majority.
