NBC's Mark Murray and Domenico Montanaro discuss the latest on Mitt Romney's impending vice-president announcement and the impact of today's shooting in Colorado on the politics of the presidential race.
Can't we all just take the direction of President Obama & Governor Romney by taking a moment or two to reflect on what is really important in each of our lives..?
The political cage-match can resume soon enough...
Feisty - so true. I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned with family and friends. I'm having a "girls night" with one of my best friends tonight. It's been planned for a while and couldn't come at a better time.
It's really a time to reflect and appreciate all we have - especially the people in our lives.
The president is the one on the offense. Romney is just desperately throwing half-baked lies at the president.
Romney has said in financial disclosure statements that he 'was not involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way' after Feb. 11, 1999.
Romney will say anything, everyone already knows that. But by being so adamant and using such black-and-white terms like "in any way," he really boxed himself into a world of trouble.
So now Romney is trying to defend himself by throwing the kitchen sink. Take the recent idiocy about the president's supposed involvement in Fisker Automotive. You'd think Romney would have learned a lesson after getting tagged for the Solyndra lie.
In reality Romney doesn't care. He has been criticized for ads such as the one where he makes the president quoting McCain appear to be what the president is saying himself. And many others, now an ad taking the president's speech out of context about businesses not building the roads that help them to be successful. Those ads--including the one about Solyndra and the president's supposedly funneling money to friends (not)--keep airing.
As a side note -- This crap about the president and "crony capitalism" is spewed one day, and then the next day the president has "foreign" ideas, i.e., European socialism. The flip-flop contradictions are beyond crazy.
Romney breaks new records on a regular basis. Whether it's not pulling ads that are clearly lies, or thinking he doesn't have to play by the rules others play by--not just refusing to release 8-10 years of his tax returns per tradition, but paying taxes.
Romney is a weak, capitulating, hack job who's not ready for prime time. He's not even a good example for our children.
Chris Hayes made a very insightful comment last night. He said that when the rich become above reproach in a society, it is a sign the country is in decline. For example Greece, where folks, especially the rich weren't paying taxes at all.
you are a true busy body. get a life and take red heads advise for once. i just returned from chili's out with a loved one for dinner and a presidential margarita. god bless and cheers to all.
Romney just won the award for Misleading Man (really, he was given this award).
When Romney is unscripted we see the truth. Let's talk about "values." Romney lacks empathy, has no sense of fair play, or the importance of people being treated with dignity (that POW like McCain knows). Shell games -- that's all Romney knows.
Have you heard the term “gilding the lily?” Romney does this even when he doesn’t have to, because he derives pleasure from it. The sad reality is Romney hasn’t grown much from the time he bullied other boys in school.
To quote Rick Perry, Romney would get treated pretty ugly out there by the common folk if he had to leave his gated community.
Romney didn't need to campaign today as he had his little attack puppy (portman) do it for him. No respect for the victims of the Colorado shooting and their families.
From today's MSNBC article Obama campaign raises $46M in June; Romney takes in $33M:
"The Obama team spent over $58 million in June, though, with one of the largest expenses being television ads bolstering the president and criticizing Romney over his private sector career and scant release of tax records.
Likewise, the largest single expense for the Romney campaign was its advertising efforts. The campaign disclosed having spent $10.4 million dollars on so-called "placed media," FEC-speak for television and radio ad buys."
And from CBS/NY Times today:
Romney and Obama in Statistical Tie in NY Times/CBS Poll
By Don Frederick on July 19, 2012
Voter disapproval of President Barack Obama's handling of the economy is hurting his re-election prospects and improving the outlook for Republican challenger Mitt Romney, a New York Times/CBS News national poll shows.
Romney is backed by 47 percent and Obama by 46 percent in the survey, released yesterday. The numbers include voters who said they leaned toward one of the candidates. Excluding those voters, Romney led Obama, 45 percent to 43 percent.
The results, while within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points, represents the first time Romney has had an edge in the Times/CBS survey since he emerged as the presumptive Republican nominee in early April.
Obama spent nearly six times as much as Romney in June and he lost a few points in the polls... Hey you don't hear all the Republicans whining about Obama outraising Romney do you??? All the money in the world won't buy Obama a second term!
GOP presidential candidate Romney had been part of an investment group that invested $75 million in Stericycle, a medical-waste disposal firm that has been attacked by anti-abortion groups for disposing aborted fetuses collected from family planning clinics.
I don't feel like politics today!

My question still is:
Has Mitt the Vulture PAID ANY TAXES in the last few years?????????????
All PATRIOTIC Americans have paid taxes, especially when the deficit is huge!
true patriot---
you are a true busy body. get a life and take red heads advise for once. i just returned from chili's out with a loved one for dinner and a presidential margarita. god bless and cheers to all.
Just unplug his prompter and let Obama speak. Thats the greatest thing Romney could do.
Teleprompter, really?

Romney is a loser in every sense of the term but financial. Who needs C3PO in a silk suit?
