When the greatest economic disasters in America over the last century have come under Republican leadership, why should Americans trust the Republican Party.

Fact is we are not better off and Obama does not have a plan to fix things. Only more empty promises that he will not be able to keep and let's not blame republicans either. For the first two years he had full control and rather then fix the economy he chose to implement the biggest and most poorly planned entitlement program this country has ever seen. What's strange is that there are so many who will believe him again and those are typically the young idealists and those who are ill informed or part of some kind of union. We can only hope they don't turn out this year and those who really understand what is going on will prevail. Otherwise we're headed off a fiscal cliff started by Bush and doubled down on by Obama.

Clean your ears out Mitt, it was said.

WE ARE BOTH DEMOCRATS. My husband and I are retired and much better off. We have so much faith in the economy, that we are buying a home. In doing so, we will pour an additional $40,000 into the economy in updating and decorating. My husband use to be a Republican.

Who answers a question.....Are you better off today than you were 4 yrs ago

By saying yes...because we killed somebody and decided to save one particular businessor Union.....Is that all you have to say??? Really?

If Romney didn't watch the speeches as he claimed, then how would he know what was said? So he's either a liar or he's a liar.

I said I was better off than during Bushs crooked years. Romney didn't ask me. Ask those people he outsourced jobs to China Did he take his wealth and retrain the people Nope. So, what makes me think that as a proclaimed business man his "skills" and knowledge will help America, or has he learned in business how to make a profit for the highest bidder, not a better life for the Americans.

Bear with me Democrats, FIRST READ took away what they said was yelling! It was ONLY meant to emphasize the CORRUPT Republican Corporate MONARCHY'S political puppet, exlax etch-a-sketch's LIES!!!!

exlax etch-a-sketch at it again! always twisting or lying about the truth!

of course no democrat said he was better off than before! what exlax etch-a-sketch didn't say was why? so, let's add the rest of what he should have said: "my corrupt republican corporate monarchy brought all this on the 99% american people! our uncontrolled capitalistic greed brought on our economic collapse, the global economic collapse and the forthcoming 2nd depression!" this is why we have a failed government! it has nothing to do with our illustrious president obama who has been subjected to nothing but criticism from the do-nothing republican congress political puppets for the last four years!!

I love hearing all the individual stories about how people are better off now than they were. That's how Obama works! Focus on a few "feel-good" successes rather than on the overarching problems. Sure, there are people who are better off now than they were then, but in many (I'll admit, not all) cases, it's at the expense of the rest of us in terms of our tax dollars. Nearly six trillion dollars of debt in less than four years? I don't know whether we're better off now, but we certainly won't be when that house of cards comes tumbling down.

exlax ETCH-A-SKETCH is right, NO Democrat in America is better off, ONLY HIS CORRUPT Republican ONE-PERCENTERS & VACATIONING CEO'S are better off! They have STOLEN so much from the 99% American People, that they finally MADE SLAVE OF THEM!!

exlax ETCH-A-SKETCH is like BABY DIAPERS, you have to GET RID of BOTH of THEM for the SAME REASON!! They both STINK pretty bad !!

Great scene in the movie American President,

"This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up. My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I *am* the President."

Last night President Obama declared,

"I *am* the president."

And put Mr. Romney on notice:

Mr. Romney, your fifteen minutes are up.

This is the true nature of the Republicans. Romney and Ryan have both said they'll kill Obamacare if elected to office. Funny thing though, Ryan is all ready touting it as a good thing and has even made use of it!

Just Google >>>

Paul Ryan Quietly Requested Affordable Care Act Funds

Obama inherited an economy that was on the brink of depression. We were losing 750k jobs a month. The auto industry, that the republicans wanted to let die, was in shambles and we were fighting 2 wars thanks to Bush. Obama stopped us from sliding into a depression, one that would have been world wide, and not just effect the US, but the world - mind you. He stopped the bleeding of jobs. He saved the auto industry and 1.4 million jobs. He got us out of Iraq and is getting us out of Afghanistan. He is helping to create new jobs. As Clinton said, republicans created 0 jobs the last 4 years, while Obama's has helped create 4.5 million. All the Republicans said they wanted to do the last 4 years was make sure Obama served one term - that was their goal. They didn't try to create jobs, in fact at every turn the filibustered Obama's administration when they tried to create jobs with the Jobs Creation Act.

If you want to go back to losing 750k jobs a month - vote Romney. If you want to move forward and bring jobs back to America - vote Obama. If you want less healthcare - vote Romney. If you want more healthcare that is affordable - vote Obama. If you think the government should tell a women how to deal with pregnancy - vote Romney. If you fill a woman should be the one to decide regarding birth control and pregnancy - vote Obama. If you think the government should decide who you can love and marry - vote Romney. If you think two people that love each other should make the choice - vote Obama. I am voting for Obama and so are all my friends and relatives. We're not going backward. We're moving forward!

Jobs and the economy are the critical issues ... but there is one reality that actually over shadows both for deciding who to vote for. Both parties and all candidates want to convince the voters that they are concerned for and going to successfully turn the economy around, however when you understand and take into consideration their motivation one has to wonder what amount of faith you can put in their words. The Democrats have consistently worked at using government and their power to benefit the people, to minimize the downslide and turn things around - even fighting to over come the stubborn blocking and arrogant faulting of everything by the Republicans. The Republicans have constantly put their political ambitions and satisfying "the money", their strong supporters and masters, above all else, literally at any cost to the people, and just depend on using power, influence and mega-millions to control public opinion.
The motivation: - Democrats are mainly dependent on the support of the people for their power and that is who they have to work to satisfy; - Republicans are completely owned and controlled by "the money" and that is who they concentrate on placating and satisfying. The difference is obvious in things like Ryan's budget which calls for more considerations for the 1% and more costs for the 99% and in Romney's deception with his taxes and in what he questionably proposes, always reflecting his history, his status in and his loyalty to the 1%. There is no hope for real honest representation and consideration for the 99% from the Republicans but the people have to see thru the abundant propaganda in order to understand that and to prevent being conned into supporting a return to "more of the same", Bush-Cheney style, again with the total neglect and substantial costs incurred for the people there. The Republicans have made their irresponsible total loyalty to the 1% obvious as well as their cocky confidence that they can just use the people as "pawns' but it is up to the people to recognize and reject that.

The Republicans are always citing the constitution. It is interpreted this way or that way. Does it say anywhere in there that elections should be bought by the wealthy billionaires of this country. Even more scary is that many of the Republican senators and congressman are forced to sign an agreement that they will not raise taxes on the wealthy. Why do we even bother voting. Politics is a whole new ballgame. I would advise Mitt to prepare and prepare and prepare for the debates because the President is going to wipe the floor with him.

I heard this from a 72 yr old barber who is still cutting hair for a living.. "When you step into a SH**storm expect to get sh** on yourself" indeed Obama incountered just such a storm when he took office

President Barack Obama-4.6 million jobs.

Romney Ryan-zeeerrrrooo.

Obama Biden 2012- We are still moving forward....

Mitt the Twit and Lyin Ryan are done

Wow! Turns out that Stinky (aka President BO) got into college as a foreign student, got piss poor grades, but was allowed into Columbia and Harvard because he was an exotic foreigner. By His own admission, His grades sucked (like his Presidency and Sandra Fluke under the podium for BJ Clinton), and he was financed by the taxpayers of the USA.

He also had the Rev J Wright impregnate Moochelle a couple of times. Did you notice the Obama cherubs look just like Jeremiah?

Now that the big shows are over, lets take a look at what we have to choose from!

REPUBLICANS PLAN, Romney/Ryon, RETREAT,RETREAT, everyman for him self!!!!!!!!!

DEMOCRATES PLAN, Obama/Biden, Chaaaaaaaaaarge. We fight for all america!!!!!!!!!

Ryon says we should not expact government to do bail outs, and that the people of wallstreet will do it for america. BUT in 2009, Wallstreet turned its back on america! If we can not depend on government, and Wallstreet won't help, then Mr Ryon who do we, the people of america have left to turn to?. With the jobs bill still sitting on your desk, why did you NOT pass it? Instead of waging a war on women, Why is it that you feel that, this war, comes before the working class of americans?

lies has a way of returning, to hount the lier. And Ryon, you've said some doosies. To fight against america, is not what I like to hear from polititios like you and Romney.Other wars you are waging are as follows, The elderly, the poor, people of color, and witch hunting of the A.G. There was a question,growing up that says " dosn't your heart hurt when you lie sooooooooooo much." Go to church, and see if your money god will forgive you and your lies!!!!!!!!!

IF flipper romney is taking head counts, of democrats who think this persident is doing a good job, Then count me in and all the other people of this @!$%#ry who feels the same!

Unlike you, we don't retreat, in the face of problems We charge forward.

Unlike you and Ryon, it's not every man women and child, on their own, Its WE move forward, not backwords., together, not divided, but as one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am one of the few that can honestly say he is better off now than at the beginning of the Obama administration. Not financially, of course - quite the opposite; however, after the election I did move away from Illinois, the "Land of Corrupt Politicians". Although many of them packed their bags and moved to D.C., there were plenty of them left. Since then, a few of them have returned, including Emanuel, repopulating the sewer. I'm glad I'm gone and out of the cross-hairs.

koch brothers and cronies are in control. down with we the people
are their serfs.

no jeolousy. only the weathy do not want jobs in the new technology.

existing technology allows no need to bring back those who
were/are laid off.

let people take jobs for one tenth of pay, ridiculous.

jobs a plenty tea party no…. no… no. big corporations no…
no. low paying jobs are available please take them and do not complain you have
a job. if you have a job do not ask for a raise, good benefits, not
catastrophic health insurance just be thankful you have a job that cannot keep
up with cost of taking care of your family. the slippery slope started with
kochs and others who believe greed is betgter than compassion.

no corporations want to tell the truth that automation has
made peoples jobs obsolete. they make more money. do not invest in new jobs in
new technology to make other jobs. give back profits to retrain people. profit
should be four letter words called fair and work.

bring jobs back to america and use automation to make made
inm america competitive. i am tired of going through levwel 1 then level 2 and
gthen level 3 to try to get easy answers. sorry i will be back. read from
teleprompters on a computer. always spend a half hour every time you will call
up about case number rto get all new information.

this cannot be accomplished better by technology with a well
educated american answering questions with the help of automation. this would
bring jobs back to america with fair paying jobs.

but that will not allow us to be serfs like the koch
brothers and cronies want. a monarchy. we the people then would not be serfs.

remember thjose well paying wall street jobs over 80,000 put
out of work. again automation that hjas been there for trading for so many
years. remember with these harvard, yale, princeton, mit 4.0 gpa graduates now
looking for non existent jobs.

these same companies with automation and fail safes caused
the financial melt down. remmember dow jones at 6000. looked at your 401k if
lucky enough to have one or pension that sees dow jones at 13,300.

derivatives still cannot be controlled. these financial
instruments and others just too sophisticated to regulate. need to eliminate.

sandy weil retired in 2006 ceo of citibank and had a plaque
in 1999 stating i eliminated glass steagall which separates banking from
finacial banking from using your money. he just stated banks are too large and
he regrets that glass steagall was ever eliminated. he wants the law
reinstituted.

jamie dimon of chase who was the wonder risk manager lost
first 2 billion dollars then it became 9 billion dollars and today we do not
how much of the people’s money was lost. but everything is ok because chase
made a good profit. he validated that the systems broke down. this 9 billion
dollars that was people’s money he used without a care. he first said he was
sorry. by the time he qwent in front of the congressional review of what happen
he said they were wasting his and there time. what arrogance he has. then
received a 11 million dopllar stipend and what else.

remember too big to fail for whom? not we the people.
remember smaller the better.

middle class and others have been ubder attck for a vwery
long time. snake oil salesman brought down the housing system called banks.
traded/sold/whatever in the bad mortgages they wrote to get rid of their risk.
then came their bailouts to cover their still huge risks to peoples money in
401k plans, pensions, ann uities and more. we still believe these thieves
making huge profits paying unbelievable bonuses to the top and whomever
survive.

defense spending is out of control. usa has 10 times the
defense power of the whole world capabilities combined. why can this not be 3
times? there a huge need for cyber warfare and more covert activity.

put budget problems/deficits on social security and
medicare. these programs have problems for the way defense spending is a sacred
cow for the wealthy to make huge profits.

there are smart management solutions using caiv cost
controls that will make the right decsions to each part our economy by the next
government not the nno government that only wants obama out.

ask paul ryan or others of the congress about, jtrs, and more
programs like the fdl, mids, plsr, fcs. win-t. predator f16, stealth bombers,
uav, existing defense program. defense over
runs causing trillions of dollars to benever recovered again. recently jtrs (joint tactical
radio system 72 kinds of radios, program shut down and 3.5 trillion dollars lost
after 10 years. where is the cbo, gsa, bernanke, many programs fall into a
basket where need to know is required. congress does not even know about these
programs or how they are running .others they are also clueless. many foreign
products go into our war fighting capabilitties. where are those jobs that were
made in america.

paul ryan puts up a budget without real intelect. but can
lie about everything. do not touch the wealthy’s money. only use the wealthy’s
money to defeat obama,

six percent rating of congress. they are clueless and follow
koch brothers desire to make we the people serfs .j ust investigate for the
truth.

in the last 10 years the wealthy assets and buying power
goes up 10 fold. we the people see 50% reduction in assets and buying power. a
real plan going on for fifteen years by the koch brothers and their cronies to
make serfs out of we the people. it is working.

lord koch and his cronies spend to get their own congress to
implement the gop/koch plan to destroy the fabric of we the people.

job recovery much faster than the great depression. the gop
is only miracle workers for their own kind the wealthy and powerful.

do not vote for the party that is bottomline oriented for
lining their own pocket with money.

we the people need to elect officials who have a chance to
know how to budget the economy so we the people can start again moving in the
right direction. no elitest group of self rigteous bullies called the gop.

the amounts of monies being spent on a no…no house of
representative and a filibuster senate, keeping from passing job legislation,
not correcting social security and medicare ways of funding, not understand the
value of the budget parts to the success of the usa which is not the two
percenters getting their way. two percenters caused the melt down. do you think
they will fix the problems that will help we the people. the answer is no.

voting for the gop is ending the future of the american way.

gop statements politifact has shown during the gop
convention to be false to be pants on fire to just make people believe that
they are our saviors. similarly the same lies were stated many timesbefore the
convention.

big money has we the people just where they want us.owing
our lives to the man.

Yes, we will all be slaves to the 1% and live in poverty with no money to support the consumer economy.
