Subscribe to RSSThe Obama campaign is going up with a huge TV ad buy in Florida, including in the expensive Miami market, according to a senior campaign official.
President Obama, alongside Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, condemns "in the strongest terms" the "outrageous and shocking attack" that claimed the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
The Obama camp, in fact, is claiming this is the largest and earliest buy in Miami for a presidential contest.
The statewide buy targets 10 media markets -- including Tampa (2,700 advertising points), Orlando (2,700 points), Miami (1,300 points), Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and even neighboring Mobile, Ala.

This huge buy reflects the Obama campaign's increasing confidence of being able to win Florida, which would potentially deliver a knockout blow to Romney in the race to 270 electoral votes. According to NBC's electoral map, if Obama wins Florida, he would need to win just one other toss-up state to reach or surpass the 270 number.
The ad blitz also appears intended to put pressure on the Romney campaign to spend more in Florida, including Miami.

Note to Team Obama, save the cash and just keep Bill "Explainer of Stuff" Clinton down there for the next month!
By the time he's finished, the only voters in FL who will punch the ticket for Willard will be those who reside in Fantasy-Land!
Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying watching Willard and his minions squirm today?
Team Willard's campaign strategy is, when in doubt, double down on stupid!
Sorry Feisty but he will be the “closer” for Ohio.
Remember no Republican has ever won the Whitehouse without Ohio.
mario batali said
are you saying that republicans some how got a hold of your playbook?
CA - no the stupid playbook would be the one written by Romney and people like you!
Feisty - so now you're not Jen but mario batali?
Obama/Biden 2012
Good point Dennis!
I say we send our secret weapon Bill there, the last two weeks in October! ;o)
BTW: How many points is Willard down there right now? lol
Seeking,
Is that the same Queen Annie who refuses to talk about women's issues?
This alone should scare the @!$%# out of every woman in America!
The last thing we need is Willard stacking the SCOTUS with more right wing ideologues!!!
Feisty - we really have to be careful in Ohio. Remember that's where Bush won over 3,000 votes in an area where 623 people were registered. Can we say voter fraud????
Obama/Biden 2012
Maybe Billy Clintoon can explain the $6 trillion in new debt generated in 4 years, or the trillion dollar deficits, or the massive increase in people on food stamps, or the sub 2% GDP growth rate, or the wasted Obama 'stimulus, or just what is Obama's Middle-East policy, or why GM is costing the taxpayers billions, or why the Democrats rejected Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, or the $4+/gallon gas prices, or the continual 8%+ unemployment rate, or why the Obamacare bill takes 18 pages to explain what 'full time employees' means.
And then he can explain why we need four more years of this nonsense.
Obama 2012 - "I can't explain it, so maybe Billy can"
Feisty,
The RCP average of polls has Mr. Romney down 3 but just a week ago he was tied.
I hope Obama's ads include a mention of Romney's pathetic foreign policy expertise. I thought Bush was the GOP's worst at foreign finesse - but Romney makes Bush look pretty good.
The Romney campaign has been in disarray for months, if not from the beginning.
Either they are stupid, or Willard has gone rogue!
Sure JoAnnaSmith1: after you can explain the fact that Romney's proposals will add $600 billion to the current deficit. That would result in about $8.4 trillion dollars in new debt over a Romney presidency funded on $5 trillion in new tax cuts and $2.1 trillion in overspending on Defense. Some fiscal conservative...
Feisty and Dennis I agree with the both of you . Either way Presidents Obama and Clinton will gain votes.
Mitt Romney those are two scary words.
RedumbliCons know it too. That's why they are telling all kinds of fanatical lies.
You know Snuffy, maybe when you & your ilk start taking responsibility for part of the debt, people might actually listen to one of your incoherent your rants!
For a party who promotes personal responsibility, you sure don't practice what you preach!
Funny how none of you ever said a *peep* when Dubya opened the Chinese VISA card and spent like a drunken sailor!
PS: Funny how Willard himself, admits it will take 8 years for a full recovery, yet you idiots expect President Obama to do it in 3 1/2!
His admission, is the only truth-full thing to come out of his lying mouth this entire campaign!
Funny how they never say a peep when confronted with the facts in my last post.
THE AMATEUR IS TOAST.
0bama is even trying to blame what's going on in the ME on Romney.
0bama will be put in prison some day for trying to destroy our country.
According to the White House calendar, there is no public record of President Barack Obama attending his daily intelligence briefing--known as the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB)--in the week leading up to the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Cairo and the murder of U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American members of his staff:
9/6/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-06
9/7/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-07
9/8/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-08

9/11/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-11
The last time prior to the slayings that the White House calendar publicly confirms Mr. Obama attending his daily intelligence briefing was September 5th. (The White House did not provide an official public calendar for the weekend of September 8-10.) Mr. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta at 5:00 p.m. yesterday.
According to a recent study by the Government Accountability Institute, Mr. Obama has only attended 43.8 percent of his Presidential Daily Briefs in the first 1,225 days of his Administration.
The White House responded by claiming that President Obama reads daily intelligence reports, even if he does not attend the briefings personally.

Either they are stupid, or Willard has gone rogue!
I'd say "MYTH" is really stupid. Lip smacking Palin is the rogue.

SeekingSanity
What college again Seeking? I think you're borderline retarded and you have nothing but zombie drooling 'Obama is great' line over and over.
PROOF! Wait Xabie said it so it must be fact. No peep
Bill Clinton actually doesn't attack Mitt Romney because he thinks he could win this election, and he wants to stay relevant if Romney does.
I'm surprised that Obama is going with this big ad campaign. I thought he was the one who didn't want the Presidency to be "bought."
Not much "change" there.
Just the same old $#!+ from a quick-talking used-car-salesman.
P.S.....WHO was it, that was talking about WHO being desperate? Obama is throwing extra money into a state that he WON in 2008, instead of trying to gain from a red state who voted against him that year.
HINT-HINT, FIRST READ, and all you Obamaniacs; Throwing all that money into a state you already carried four years ago is a sign of desperation.
It's because, they have slathered themselves in greasy "fact repellent"!
Or maybe Billy Boy can finally explain what the meaning of the word "is" is, or maybe he can explain how he like all Democrats loves and respects women, especially interns, or maybe he can explain his wagging of his finger at all of America and telling us lies, or maybe he can explain how Hillary hates him, or maybe he can explain how his disbarment worked out, or maybe he can repeat his minions assertions that all the women he allegedly was with are in fact "trailer-trash".
Obama 2012 - "I'd explain it, but Billy lies better than me"
CA - I graduated with honors and have my masters. And, I went to a top University. I've been in honors programs since the 3rd grade.
When anyone stoops to using the "retarded" word it shows a total lack of decency and complete ignorance. I can't say I'm surprised in your case - but it still brings me up short when adults use a word that most children is taught is unacceptable. I suppose in your case nothing should surprise me.
Obama/Biden 2012
Indeed. See JoAnnaSmith1's latest deflection. There simply is no contest.
Hey JoAnnaSmith1: $8.4 trillion. Or are you going to continue to deflect? You have no defense.
In fact, Clinton lies so well that his lies actually are verified as fact. Maybe that's an art your boy Paul Ryan can acquire.
The funny thing is, CA doesn't even know the definition of mental retardation. It doesn't mean you don't have the ability to retain or acquire knowledge, it means it takes longer and / or is more difficult to attain said knowledge.
You're correct Bev, Palin didn't know anything and sadly, she didn't know that she didn't know anything....lol
Here comes Willard, same, same. He tries to hide his ignorance with bluster and lies!..He don't need no campaign advisors!
Rogue Willard!
Will Billy-boy be taking questions, or will he just wag his finger and lecture us? You know, just like old times.
Billy 2012 - "I would have got off if not for that blue dress. Oh wait, I did get off!"
So seeing Billy is the "Great Explainer", how did he explain that fact to Hillary?
Frankly, a lot of Conservatives were not happy with Bush's spending policies and said so. I'm curious though... if Dubya spent like a drunken sailor what is Obama's spending like?
JAS - whatever Clinton does you can be sure he won't be so imbecilic as to talk to an empty chair - and think THAT looks intelligent!
It says a lot that now you have to attack Clinton because your candidates are really that pathetic!
Oops - typo in earlier post. Children ARE taught - not is!
Obama/Biden 2012
That sounds an awful lot like jealousy JoAnnaSmith1. Do you soften the penis?
Or Romney's proposed spending?
Fisty says -
Even Reagan did it in four. If "Willard" says 6 to 8, it is more than likely he knows what he is seeing (and the fact that Obama made it worse) and unlike Obama, doesn't go in saying "If I don't get this done in three years this will be a one term proposition".
That statement, and lack of preparation on Obama's part before opening his mouth, shows what a narcissist he is. He was going to fix it before he knew how broken it was. Didn't matter. He is therefore, he can.
Enjoy.
Does anyone even understand what you are saying? Are you twelve years old?
Nah!
Queen Annie has perfected those moves!
Some filthy rich bitch scolding YOU people is priceless!
BTW: Which party has been telling us for decades that deficits don't matter? lol
Hint: It's not the Democrats!
Feisty, you are so full of hate I feel sorry for you. Yours must be a miserable existence.
What a waste of money. All the advertisements in the world can't cover-up Obamas complete failure and the resulting consequences for America.

Someone got Mario Batali all worked up. LOL. Unlike Obamao the Megalomaniac telling business owners " YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT"
Feisty - Willard also said to Gregory on MTP he wouldn't have a balanced budget until the end of his 2nd term. Odd, I could have sworn the GOPTP were swarming all over balanced budgets. Where is the outrage, the poutrage?
I seriously don't know who put JSA1 up to defend multiple faced Mitt/Lyin. Even when its very obvious her posts are void of facts, she just keep going. What an illustrious daughter of stupidity. JSA1, you don't just make things up.

I love it!
Win Florida and knock the GOP political novice out of the race. They Myth should enjoy his current status as a candidate with a chance, because it won't last much longer.
Willard and Todd Akin have a few things in common. One of them is that they are both going to lose.
Welcome back "The Tea Cracker Party". New name? Did you wear out the ids "Two-Face Tea Banger", "Backstabbing Tea Party", "Tea Baggie Clown", "Hopey the clown", or yesterdays favorite "The Insane Cracker Party"? Seems to be a theme with you. Just how many registrations do you have?
I'm sure I missed some, maybe you can fill a few in.
how many accounts do you need to peddle your seditious crap? How much pay do you receive to spam the boards with propaganda and lies? Are you a friend of Ho Chi Mihn?
JS1 you think Fisty would be all over the 'dirty tricks' as it pointed out yesterday. oh Wait being a lying hypocrite is only welcomed among the liberal FR tool bags aka Soveit Republican Party.
Hey Cracker!
You still rmember the 2010 midterms, the Wisconsin recall, and the reality of Obama? Thought so.
The Democrat party is unsalvagable at this point in the U.S.... however, I hear they are polling well in Mexico.
"Cracker" seems to have a little feisty-ness in him/her.
Jim in Houston --
What fiscal conservatives? Republicans voted for those spending bills under Bush. Not only that but they took away the pay as you go provision. Republicans then voted for Bush a second time. THAT says a lot about their fiscal acuity. They're not too bright.
As far as Obama's record on spending let's just say it's expensive to clean up the financial disaster the Republicans left this country in.

Cracker - "Obama has more electoral votes than Romney.....facts are just facts. "
Sorry to point it out, but the fact is nobody has any electoral votes until the polls close on election day. You do understand the meaning of the word "fact" right?
No, sorry. You're the re-reg champ. Been banned a few times too.
New registration today, but yet you knew about yesterdays post under another account. Idiot.
You're dismissed.
That's no way to talk about the First lady.
believe everything you read eh? Chupacabra and batboy exist too
im going to clue you in Tea Cracker. The election hasnt happened so it is IMPOSSIBLE TO LEAD IN ELECTORAL VOTES! now go invest in a library card and educate yourself.
Sigh. Does it ever occur to anyone how much more actual good could be done if all this campaign money would be spent on providing jobs, schools, roads, bridges, libraries, firefighters, police officers, nurses, environmental protection ....?
I heard yesterday that, if Mitt Romney wins, Sheldon Adelson's $25 million donation is likely to buy him more than $2 billion (yes, billion with a "b") in tax breaks.
He would no doubt call that a good investment.
I think spending it on people is a MUCH better investment.
"You heard ..." ? Oh, let me guess ... you have been talking to Harry Reid's imaginary friend who runs his mouth that Mitt has not paid taxes inyears ! LOL !!
But Barry is going to attempt to "BUY" Florida with a massive infusion of money ! Where is "The Church Lady" when you really need her .... "Welllll isn't that specialllllllllll ?"
Next thing you know, all the libbies will be screaming about how rich Romney is and how he has tried to buy this election !! The hypocrisy from the left is "rich" and deep.
I hadn't "heard" this either, Jim, so I did what anyone interested in learning more would do - I looked it up. Okay, so the information comes from a "left-leaning" source:
"The fact that Sheldon Adelson has pledged to spend $100 million toward Mitt Romney's election probably seems excessive to most Americans, no matter what their income. But it could be an investment with an incredible 2,200 percent return if the Republican nominee takes the White House in November, according to a new report from the left-leaning Center for American Progress Action Fund.
Over a four-year Romney term, Adelson could, by the center's estimate, receive about $6 million in tax cuts on his executive compensation alone, in addition to $476 million from tax cuts on dividends, and $1.2 billion in permanent tax exemptions for corporate overseas profits -- coming out to a total of $2.3
billion in tax savings."
And further.....
"In comparison to President Barack Obama, who has proposed reinstating the estate tax at 2009 levels
(those worth more than $3.5 million subject to tax, with a top rate of 45 percent), Romney said he would completely repeal the tax. For Adelson, who had a net worth estimated at $19.7 billion -- and who is 79 years old -- his heirs would receive $8.9 billion from estate tax cuts under that plan. That's 89 times more than Adelson is planning on spending to put Romney in the White House.
According to the report, $8.9 billion could fund a variety of federal programs, including Pell Grants for more than 2 million students, the entire Head Start early education program, or all of the activities at the National Science Foundation for a year. Or, of course, it could be used to reduce that federal budget deficit we keep hearing about."
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/383182/20120911/sheldon-adleson-saves-2-billion-romney-tax.htm
At least this answers the question of "Sheldon "What's In It For ME?" Adelson's interest in Romney. 2200 % is one heck of an ROI. Of course, when Romney loses, old Shel is out even more than he already threw away on Newt Gingrich's campaign, but I'm guessing he can afford it.
Oh, and if you have a "right-leaning" article that disputes any of this, please feel free to share.

Is it any wonder Willard chose Ryan?
He's a professional liar just like they are!
Dude can't even tell the truth about whether or not he eats sugar, and these morons are willing to vote for him being a heartbeat away from the Presidency?
For the Romneys' 'the family that lies together stays together'!
But, hey, that also applies to the entire GOP/TP!
Lying Liars and the Lies they tell!
I read this on the Daily Caller website today,and I have tried to Fact Check and got nothing. Anyone?
Speaking of Tenure -
University of Chicago law professor Richard Epstein, Obama was never actually offered a tenured faculty position. Nor, for that matter, was he ever a “constitutional law professor.”
Epstein told TheDC that no such opportunity was ever extended to Barack Obama. Fischel, he added, would never have been authorized to make an offer so generous.
“I wish I still had my email to Jodi,” he lamented, “because I wrote Jodi Kantor in no uncertain terms that the matter had never come to the faculty, and that under no circumstances would an offer to Obama be tenured. Indeed I was completely taken aback by the story.”
Epstein drew a clear line of distinction between full tenure and “tenure track” positions — which offered no guarantees but could result in tenure at some future date.
“There was support for a tenure track offer,” he explained, “but the issue did not remain live for long as Obama decided against it. The thought that the law school could have made a tenure offer to a person with no academic writing was out of the question, as far as I was concerned, and I took a lot of heat from people who kept saying that Chicago had abandoned its scholarly standards by contemplating that offer.”
“I have no idea what Fischel said to Obama, but what little discussion [there was] on the faculty side did not deal with tenure.”
LMFAO!
What's next? Briebart.com?
Notice how those Romney's love those basement stories? Lived in a basement while they attended school. Lived in a basement to vote in Massachusetts. No wonder they are installing an elevator from the basement garage. They are simply tired of trudging out of the cellar on their own two feet.
One of the most telling signs that Queen Annie is truly a snob - she claimed they lived off tuna and pasta. Oh please!! She is trying to convince us tuna, pasta, peas, and potato chips are side dishes that make a meal - from my side of the tracks, it is called a tuna casserole. She would know that if she weren't such an elitist.
Hey Ann - tell us more about baptizing poor old avowed atheist dead dad to a Mormon.

The University of Chicago posts that President Obama was indeed a professor of Constitution Law.
You just look idiotic with that post?

Apparently, since "MYTH" and Queen Anne will not reveal how much they donated to their Mormon church. There's a theory it's why they won't release their tax returns. Probably, they didn't tithe as much as they should have.
In the Romneys' case, you don't have to be Mormon to lie, but you do have to lie to be Mormon seemingly .

Feisty,
I go to several websites and the Daily Caller is one of them. I also go to Media Matters, I like to be fair.
SS,
Once again you jump the gun. Did I post it like its authentic? No, as I stated I went to fact check this article and found nothing on it. I came here to see if anyone had information.
Dennis,
That's funny because I say the exact same thing when people ask for Romney's tax returns, and Obama's birth certificate.
Romney himself won the Gold Medal at the 2000 Salt Lake City Olympics in Men's Flip Flopping. You don't remember him giving the salute on the podium?
He might have been counting the Government money given to the Olympics that was single handedly built by none other than Mitt Romney himself!!!! LOL. Hey, Mitt! You didn't build that, either!
Maybe we should 'change it'. We could say, "WE BOUGHT THAT!"
thetotas -
I'm not sure why this is even an issue for anyone, but here's what the University of Chicago Law School's own website says:
"Statement Regarding Barack Obama
The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer."
From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined."
(Bolding is mine - hopefully that answers your question)

JoAnne,
Thank you for that link, and without grief, how refreshing.
JoAnne - My guess he used a teleprompter during the classes
thetotas - You're welcome. I've got enough grief in real life these days; I can't handle any more here.
viknat - "Teleprompter"? I have no idea what that has to do with the conversation, but since you brought it up, I have to assume that you missed both party's conventions this year, at which pretty much every single one of the hundreds of speakers also used a teleprompter. Well, except for Clint Eastwood, who I'm sure the GOP wishes had done so as well.
thetotas - why are you opposed to Romney supplying what ALL other Presidential candidates in our lifetime have given? Considering Romney's own father set the standard with 12 years of tax returns, why are you against Romney having to come up with at least 5?
Obama/Biden 2012
I never said I was against it. I only brought it up because of Dennis comment.
The way I look at it is … if the Clintons couldn’t find anything that would stick then there isn’t anything new to find.
Well that's how I view Romney income taxes. If the Clinton's or Obama's couldn't find anything....
@SeekingSanity ....actually, in 1980 Ronald Reagan only provided 1 year of tax returns, and won in a landslide. Like most people, I'm sure Romney takes advantage of each and every deduction, loophole and law to pay the least amount of taxes. The man is rich, we all know that. It's already been stated in many places that he has broken no laws. So what purpose does seeing just how rich he is serve other than to further feed the fires of class warfare? Did anyone make a big deal about how rich John Kerry was? Or John Edwards, or any of the Kennedy's? How about when Steve Forbes ran, or Ross Perot? There are fat cats on both sides of the aisle. Someone who has succeeded in business enough to become a fat cat may be exactly what this country needs right now. I care less about what Romney does with his money than I do about what Obama does with ours.
do it!!!!!!
Yeah look at all Obama has done for the senior citizens of FL. He took 760 billion from their over funded Medicare and invested it into hiring thousands of new IRS agents. Its innovative thinking like this that makes Obama stand out.
What are you smoking Common Man??????
Common Man,
It was $716 billion and it was used in part to close the Prescription Drug "Donut hole" for medications, adding annual coverage for physicals (previously not covered after the first , welcome to Medicare, physical) and free cancer screenings saving Senior's billions just last year.
IS THIS THE SAME $716 BILLION IN RYAN'S BUDGET? THANK YOU.
Star,
It is the very same $716 billion but when he repeals the ACA the Donut Hole opens back up, the coverage for annual physicals for seniors goes away and the free cancer screenings end. That is just the impact on seniors.
So happy to live in a non-swing state...
dangerfield, unfortunately my husband and I don't.
I do have to say that your post are good and I have never read any insults coming from you. Please stay that way.
yeah Dangerfield is good to go
With all respect, FR, another reason for a massive buy in Florida is that Romney and Ryan are still out there telling lies about the President and Medicare. In order to counter all those lies, they need to hit the airwaves with the truth.
stteler - " In order to counter all those lies, they need to hit the airwaves with the truth."
By whining about tax returns or marathon times to distract the Dem sheep from the fact that Obamas record is an abysmal failure?
I'm all for concentrating on Florida and letting those seniors know that although Romney/Ryan say they are not targeting them right now, they are targeting their kids and grandkids with the Medicare/SS cuts. Enough reason right there to stick with who is doing the job right now.
Romney really is stupid isn't he? In any contest it makes sense to know your opponent.
Not only is he stupid but he goes around advertising it.
Anti- let's be real. Every time Mitts opens his mouth he lets people know how stupid he is. What an embarrassment for a party that this is the BEST they have!
Obama/Biden 2012
More money wasted by Obama, what else is new?
Thank goodness we only have to see/hear him for a few more months.
smitty - more teleprompter nonsense? Since every President in modern time - including your dear Reagan - used/uses a teleprompter, you just look stupid with your post.
And, even when Romney uses one he can't seem to sound intelligent. But, I guess that's because he has absolutely NOTHING to say!
pjam- you're going to be sooooo disappointed 11/7/2012!
Obama/Biden 2012
Dear Seeking Sanity,
Keep looking, you clearly haven't found it.
The last 3 speeches I have seen Mr. Romney make were off a teleprompter. Those who continue to rail about the use of this device are without any understanding of public speaking and prepared remarks. EVERYONE uses them... bone heads !!!
This is what happens to spoiled rich kids. I remember them in school. They'd blow off homework and reading and try to wing it in class, with predictably disasterous results.
"Matt, can you talk a little about the Carpetbaggers following the Civil War and Reconstruction?"
"Carpet Baggers brought carpets after the Civil War. They helped with the Reconstruction. A lot of carpets were damaged in the war. Fortunately, America won and we made new carpets."
Know Nothing
From the article above:
With Ohio already a lock, this is good strategy to wrap the election up now. These adds will quickly repair the damaged caused by the Romney campaign lies about Medicare.
On another note:
This great nation has a history of good and bad, greatness and despair, rises and falls. Political parties have come and gone, won and lost, faded and reborn. The Tea Party is an example of this.
Those who associate themselves with the TP Republicans may prefer the more homogenized-nostalgic reference to those patriots in Boston. However, there is another period of time almost 80 years after that taxation protest that would seem more appropriate.

Interesting how there is a different group of immigrants.
Interesting how it’s the same group of antagonist.
Today, we have a Know Nothing Tea Party candidate for President and a Do Nothing Tea Party House of Representatives.
Re-Elect President Obama.
Take back the House of Representatives.
FORWARD!
Salud.
Have you noticed that there is always a group hated in this country? I mean look through history: if it isn't African Americans, it's Japanese, or "communists", or Arabs...
TomasGrande - wikipedia, really. If I would have quoted from there the lefty animals would be sourrounding me.
Salute a te.
Xabre - what on earth are you talking about. have you ever lived in any other Country? Not vacation sweetie. See, if you can catch the wrong of misspelled word this time.
Rasmussen has it 46% for Obama 45% for Romney. Oddly enough on Job creation Obama at 47% and 45% Romney.
I did not want to choose only from what you would call a conservative site but I also got the same information form a well know Liberal site.

You got one part right:
"Interesting how it’s the same group of antagonist."
Democrats hated blacks when they championed the KKK and now they hate Americans.... both for political reasons, first to pander to whites, now to pander to illegals. They have never had a concern about what is best for America, their only concern is what is best for themselves at the moment.
pjam09:
The Democrats were the conservative party until the time of FDR, and the Republicans were the liberals. I suggest you learn your history.
Concern:
Do I win a cookie? By the way, there also shouldn't be a comma after 'see'.
Xabre - cookie coming your way!!!! It really is just getting too easy, isn't it???
Obama/Biden 2012 - for the sane people!
Is the irony getting even more intense? Or is it just me?
Delicious!!
SeekingSanity - "Obama/Biden 2012 - for the sane people!"
Could the irony be any more abudantly clear?
Concern:
I see you are picking up right where you left off from my column this morning. From "Some People Say", to deflection, to re-direction, to projection, to demonization; you have really mastered all the Rovian classics.
I'm sure in your version of Wikipedia, history always has a happy ending.
Salud.
Xabre - you have been in outer space too long honey. Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) as your avatar? You must be one of those Trekkie's, LOL.
Insane - Freedom of Speech and Freedom to write how I want. If you or Xabre or any one else does not like it, then go and post on Fox.
TomasGrande - you are a good writer, the only thing Grande about you is your mouth. Yes, that is an insult. Really? Wikipedia. Even Schools forbid kids to use that for references.
I'm your worse nightmare. I'm Blatina. Feisty go find a man or a partner, what ever your taste. It does not matter to me.
You will be surprized next week, I promise.
pjam - the irony is that you don't even recognize the lack of sanity of your party. But, go ahead. It makes you feel better!
Concern - no dear, FOX is just your speed. Most of us know better than to even mention the entertainment center known as FOX.
Obama/Biden 2012 because as I always say - there is no sanity in the GOP!
Your posts are like an oasis in the desert, although more and more are seeing through the republican lies. Great articulation and impeccable logic.
Is that supposed to be some kind of insult? Because it seems like a waist.
Dos, Dos XX for you!
Salud
TomasGrande,
Who cares about Dos XX for you?
I give you Aguardiente for you
Salud y Dios te ampare.
Xabre - take it which way you want to, you always do.
Xabre . . .
Concerns daily passive/aggressive comments combined with her whiny commentary are always a little bit of humor in my day. Looks like she's taking a shine to you, Tomas! Xabre, if I'm not mistaken a few weeks ago she admitted to being a Trekkie.
Gotta get back to work .. done with my brake . . . . ;-)
Dangerfield, you and me both.
Just remember, reps sign the checks on the front, while demos sign on the back.
Democrats sign the front of checks sometimes... like when they have access to a taxpayer-funded account or are committing forgery.
TopDrum and pjam - only in your demented worlds!
Obama/Biden 2012
Just goes to show you, reps can't figure out which side of the welfare check requires their endorsement.
Sorry Democratic Party - that won't work. The FL Voters are "snowbirds" who are currently residing in their Midwest & Northeast summer/fall homes. They will be watching TV/Newspaper ads in MN, WI, IL, IA, MI, OH, NY, NJ. FL Gov. Rick Scott did not enter the Governor's race until April, when all the snowbirds are up North & when all the negative campaign ads against him started (CEO of Columbia/HCA). Snowbirds didn't know Rick Scott, but voted for a Republican (could have been a serial rapist, they wouldn't know).
The GOP gave up on Michigan, Wisconsin and PA. More money for President Obama to spend in FL. In a couple of weeks the GOP will give up on FL and Ohio too. Then, it is over.
With all the stupid comments Romney and Ryan have made or had to retract,all the Obama camp has to do is run those.As for the comments made last night on Libya just goes to show how DANGEROUS he would be.A war cry is the wrong way to go diplomacy IS the only way to go in countries that are behind in international information and without the understanding of freedom of speech.
"A war cry is the wrong way to go diplomacy IS the only way to go"
And yet Obama didn't even bother trying to get congressional approval before commiting to removing Libyia's leader, the same leader who kept Al Queda under control in his country.
All the hate makes me sick. Its on both sides and its sickening. Listen to yourselves. You sound like juvenile school yard bullies. Just my humble opinion. This thread is disgusting.
Just wait until you see Obama's new ads, juvenile and sickening will seem refreshing.
Obama has called for a day of booing God and condemning Israel. Just to appease his jihadist brethren in Libya and Egypt. You democrat-communist beat all I have ever seen.
Not only that, but April 2012 he bypassed Congress and the UN by giving the Palistaninas 192 million. Nice of our President supporting terrorist
I just can't get out of my mind that just this morning, Obama was pumping bucks into Wisconsin. Now, Florida. Supposedly he doesn't have any worries in either state.
Thinking those pesky "white house only" polls (like Carville/Greensburg) may have the minions in a bit of a panic.
Here in Port St Lucie, I get to see all the BS on TV about the November election. These are the same caliber of people who do not want to acknowledge the Todd Akin Firestorm, the repeated hurdles and road blocks for voting rights, targeting small business owners who bear-hug the president, stand silent as a soldier in combat is booed on stage by primary contenders, engage in purging voter roles to stem this precious right and continuing to fight the Supreme court sanctioned PPACA. Vote Democratic!(formerly called RomneyCare, once called ObamaCares and now is the Health Care Act)
FL just isn't THAT stupid! How will YOUR President fix this mess in Syria and Turkey? How will he react if we are under a terrorist plot situation? He will fold like a deck of cards!
Ryan/Romney 2012
If your entire campaign is based on vote-buying you don't have much more corruption to offer the American people than failed 43 had, do you.
obama 2012 yayyyy!!! i just love high debt, high unemployment, failed stimulus and broken promises! oh and I love our leader apologizing to our enemies...obama is so awesome!!! woo hooo!!vote obama 2012
I guess shanaldo has been asleep the last four years.
President Obama has already dealt with many world crises,and has done a great job. He don't take WAR lightly as all the RETHUGS do. And since we have NEVER fought a war for this long with a TAX CUT you can betcha he won't put the nation in a loosing situation as President W Bush did. Ever hear of a WAR TAX. EVER hear of the nation going on a WAR FOOTING.
This wasn't even considered buy Mr Bush because he was too politically SCARED to do it. He is just like all the rest of the Republicans. They have NO B@LL$. Republicans always start wars that they can't man,or pay for. But they, like Draft Dodging Robmee will gladly send your child to die for their political advantage,and it's nothing more than that. Has nothing to do with national security.
Will Rogers once said. " Republicans think government don't work. And then they get elected and prove it"
Nobody,and I mean Nobody in this country that has 5 brain cells want's us to foolishly get into yet another Stupid WAR. If any of you Right wingers want war that bad. You can get on a plane to the Mideast, take your weapon and STAND A POST!!!
@Ken-2013079...you do realize that since 1933 the only Presidents that haven't served in the military have been Democrats? Also that Republicans have a much greater percentage of children on active duty? To say they don't 'man the wars' is false. For the record, I'm an Independent that thinks Bill Clinton was the best President so far in my lifetime (I'm 52 by the way). He also dodged the draft. I'm confused tho; please enlighten me as to what world crisis' Obama has handled so well.
This is a frigin mess, and Obama is in over his head. The news involving the deficit, unemployment, lack of jobs, poverty and foreign relations, continues to get worse, while both parties continue to snipe at each other.
And Obama continues to campaign full steam ahead. Where is our Leader, pulling the country together? Where is the Commander in Chief while things are rapidly deteriorating in the Middle East? Where is the plan to help any of this?
Things are coming to a head my friends, Obama is in the White House and the Middle East sees him as an inept weakling.
Things are going to get much, much worse very soon. This is serious.
Your just puking up Rethug mantra
You dummies said he can't run on his record. Well guess what the Dems convention was about. HIS RECORD!!
Rethugs didn't say ONE WORD when Dubya kept reading a book to kids. With full knowledge that the country HOMELAND was under ATTACK.
ROBMEE has no backbone and NO B@ll$ and he is not presidential material!!! He can't stand or stay with a decision. That spells disaster for the country if he is leading. He has no idea of forien policy and is currently putting our country at HIGH RISK because he don't know when to SHUT his MOUTH!!!
"Obama Announces Letterman Appearance on Day He Snubbed Netanyahu"
The 2 ROYALS in the White House could care LESS about America!!!!!
The ONLY job he cares about is HIS OWN!~
Gotta spend Millions on Travel......Golf, Basketball, Parties, Vacations, fundraisers, ......DISGUSTING!
NO White House couple have EVER appeared on STUPID TV shows as much as these 2 idiots!
With the Ryan-Romney plan for Medicare and Social Security out there I can't see why any retiree in FL would vote GOP. Of course with the voter purge fraud, people in FL might not get to vote for anyone.
The Medicare proposal would kick in when Medicare no longer exists in President Obama's world. And why did President Obama decide to defund Social Security? To create a tax cut for the middle class. Like when I spoke with my daughter. The good news is I'm increased your allowance. The bad news, your college fund...
Mr. Romney proposal for Medicare would kick in when President Obama's Medicare becomes insolvent. As for Social Security, President Obama has reduced funding, via the Payroll Tax Cut.
Comparable to what I said to my kid. Great news, I'm increasing your allowance. Bad news, your college fund just got smaller.
What is the unemeployment rate in Florida? That would be the reason for the add buy. Obozo thinks all of the laid off folks aint got nothing to do but watch tv and wait for their check.
23 Million Americans unemployed==Obozo unemployed!
