GREENVILLE, N.C. – First Lady Michelle Obama continued to embrace her role as President Barack Obama's chief character witness on Wednesday, telling thousands of young North Carolinians that her husband is an inclusive leader with compassion for all Americans.
"As president, you have to be driven by the struggles, hopes and dreams of all the people you serve," Michelle Obama told the 3,100 gathered at a rally in Durham, emphasizing the word "all."
"As president, you truly need a strong inner compass, you know, a core commitment to your fellow citizens," she said. "That's how you make the right decisions for this country."
She went on to tell the crowd that the president "has been struggling with us. And together, slowly but surely, we have been pulling ourselves out of that hole we started in."
The first lady did not mention GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney or Republicans during two rallies on college campuses in North Carolina. But her message drew a noticeable contrast with the recently-unearthed video of Romney telling supporters at a fundraiser that 47 percent of Americans do not "take personal responsibility" and "who believe that they are victims.” Romney conceded in the video that he is not reaching out to those voters because he cannot win their vote.
The Obama campaign jumped on the comments in a fundraising email. And Tuesday night, President Obama told David Letterman, "If you want to be president, work for everyone, not just for some." Vice President Joe Biden declined to answer questions about the former Massachusetts governor's remarks earlier this week.
Michelle Obama spoke to predominantly young and African American crowds at North Carolina Central University and East Carolina University.
She remained optimistic that the president could win the Tar Heel State in November, as he did four years ago, although polling shows him trailing behind Romney.
Not only did Obama encourage the college-aged crowd to vote, but she urged them to take advantage of the state's early voting that begins next month.
"Vote early. You know how you all are," she said, joking that young people have a habit of oversleeping or forgetting Election Day. A win in North Carolina, she said, would put the president on track to reelection.
"We cannot turn back now," the first lady said in Greenville. "We have come so far, but we have so much more work to do."

Spoken from a first class First Lady. Too bad the Romney's have no clue what that sentence means.
Looks like Mrs. wealth redistribution needs help.
Too bad nobody paid attention on 08 when he gave the country a peek at his socialist tendencies. Im shocked that the media is even reporting on the video if him practically reading from the communist manifesto.
PACK YOUR BAGS 0BAMA
you're the one that needs help
I was thinking the same thing as you while reading the article.
Well said tonyb,
This First Lady and President are from working families that didn't get it all on a platter. Their families struggled, and so they understand the struggles of others.
Some rich folks can relate, but in the case of Mitt Romney, there is a disconnect from the experience of ordinary people. Romney is in it for the 0.01% - he is on the cusp of being part of that group himself.
After making it clear he has no use for half the American population, Romney repeated his derogatory statements about veterans, seniors and students, in which he said it is not is job "to worry about these people."
Romney and his campaign said they stand firmly by those insults, and their view of Americans as "victims" and freeloaders. Romney meant what he said, no matter what he says next, no matter how he tries to re-write the video.
My son is a Marine at Camp Lejeune, NC and he is going to vote for President Obama. In Mitt's fevered imagination, military personnel apparently are counted among the 47% who are going to vote against Etch-A-Sketch, but I have news for the GOP's #1 loser: United States Marines are not victims.
President Obama by default in November! There is no one running against him!
my brother served 25 years in Air Force, we agree Obama sucks a little more than Mitt.
You be the Judge.
First Lady Michelle Obama, a pure classy and beautiful First Lady?
or Queen Anne, also known as Mitt Romney's Trophy Stepford wife?
Here's another Example:
Mitt Romney, known Liar, admitted Tax Cheat, and probable Felon,
who only Avoided those Felony charges by "RetroActively Retiring" while still CEO at Bain Capital,
(I did Not know you could "Retire RetroActively" on this or any other Planet, but I guess Mitt Romney can),
while still collecting Millions of dollars in Salary, while Legal papers clearly stated that Romney was Not the CEO at Bain Capital.
Is that Sick, or what?
or Barack Obama, the Kind, the Good, the Merciful?
Hey all you Federal Employees, Florida retirees, and still yet Undecided Voters,
let's send Mitt Romney and his GOP Republican Masters "Back to the Political Dung Heap of History",
where they all rightfully belong, by Voting a straight Democratic ticket come this November 2012.
It will be Fun and it's the Right thing to do.
ps. Is this a Great post, or what?
I once saw a guy near a recruiting office; he told me that 0bama was destroying the country.
As for moochelle, you can see the the disdain for our country in her face when she talks.
forget what I said earlier. There is no hope for you, elliot.
I've had elliot on ignore forever ... so nice not to have to read Breitbart 24/7!!!!
I don't care what you think you saw while you were trolling the streets, Elliot. Young people are aligning themselves with their president. Romney doesn't have a snowball's chance in November.
Whaaaaat ? Mrs. Obama has been the "spear" for Mr. Obama's agenda on just about all decisions which have certainly NOT been for ALL Americans. The only CORE COMMITMENT Mr. Obama has had is for his campaign contributors and special interest friends.
Same Mr. Obama rhetoric he used at the DNC. Yep, gotta get 4 more years in office so he can complete his TRANSFORMATION of America. Notice the "WE (me and my husband) HAVE SO MUCH MORE WORK TO DO" in the last statement.
I wonder why Mrs. Obama didn't mention Mr. Obama's grandmother getting discriminated against at that Bank in Hawaii (matter of fact, she was appointed as one of the first women at the Bank to a senior position). Nah, wrong crowd.
Here are pictures on President's in uniform:
Isn't Mr. Clinton's and Mr. Obama's uniforms just lovely ?
Hussein's not driven by any of my struggles, hopes, and dreams. He should be driven by protecting our country and its boundaries.
Her real goal is to get out-of-state students attending college in undecided states to switch their voter registrations to those states. Someone ought to tell them that their parents will lose them as an IRS exemption when they do that.
North Carolina will carry Romney. Obama is a good guy and a great spokesman, but we need Leadership that will help balance the budget. We need a President that will operate on a budget, and I don't believe this country forgets so easy. Remember when the first thing mentioned was, if the country shut down if the Armed Forces would be paid. Yeah, I remember that and a few hundred other things. Mitt for President.
Tommy...
You used the most important word of all "Leadership"....it's been absent for nearly four years. Presidents like Reagan and Clinton picked up the phone and spoke with politicians on the other side of the aisle when they needed to push for programs that they felt would help the country. They made friendships across the aisle and is THE reason they got things done...whether one personally agrees with those things or not.
Even in reading media supportive articles about the current president, it is very clear that he is a loner. He says what he wants to do and leaves it to Harry Reid or Nacy Pelosi to assign the job to their staffers to come up with a plan. He stays detached from the process in case the plan put forward by Reid's or Pelosi's office is a stinker. After barely even speaking with anyone in the other party...Mr. Obama then begins to insult them for simply not giving him anything he wants. We have seen this over and over again. That he is a president who has never even got a 'yes' vote from members of his own party on the budgets he has submitted while in office, it's pretty clear that he's even a loner within his own party.
Things would be different today had a "leader" like Reagan or Clinton been in the White House during the past four years.
It tales a whole lot of gall to stand in front of students and as for their vote when their is reasonable doubt that many of these students will find a job in their fiends if they find a job at all.
http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/27/one-in-two-new-college-graduates-i-jobless-or-underemployed/
http://money.cnn.com/2012/07/06/news/economy/black-unemployment-rate/index.htm
The fact of the matter is that where Michelle can say anything she wishes to these young people the stats are quite clear. Obama has not encourage a favorable economic climate for her audience to seek and receive a job upon their graduation.
They can say that Obama has represented all Americans but then if you look at what he has done his record does not reflect that statement. At the very least these students should be aggressive enough to actually research what Obama has brought to the table for them and it is certainly not jobs.
Did Michelle explain how as a Senator her husband was not concerned enough with college students "struggles" to bother to vote for the legislation that set the current rates on student loans?
That quote is a panderbear's delight ! Oooooo...the 'struggles, hpoes, and dreams'....somebody please get me a hankie !
@ Colorado-Man
Back it up with verifiable documentation, please.
There is no credible source to support Colorado-Man's lies. Either Rush said it or he just made it up. Either way, it's just nonsense.
Sailcat - Then why do you suppose that Mr Obama has been focusing collge campus visits in his repeated tours through the swing states. The Obama campaign is specifically courting students in the swing states to register to vote and vote on campus rather than in their home states.
If you cannot produce evidence of your claims, shellhead, then your blithering ravings are false, or as I prefer to call them, lies. Feel better? No? Well, you'll get over it.
The Obama's tour college campuses to perpetuate the story of their "under privileged" up bringing. Always failing to mention the privileged schools they attended. As is they know of life struggles. The Obama story is nothing but a fairytale of their own making. Liberals simply do not care, Obama promises them anything and everything and promotes taking from those that have to pay for those that have not. He says he believes in redistribution and that appears undeniable.
The media could care less, they ran with the story of a YouTube video inciting violence in the Middle East, and now ignore the fact it was known to be a lie before the administration decided to run with it. A vote for Obama is not because of what he has done, it for the hope of what he might do in spite of his history of not delivering on anything. Obama is nothing more then a product of the Mayor Daly build Chicago Political Machine, which is nothing less then the worst form of politics.
Sums things up pretty darn well !
She and her husband are going to all the schools in the battleground states urging the college students (a group of non-federal-income-tax-paying, entitlement-oriented, liberals) to register in the state where they attend school. If you can't understand that, then perhaps a class in logic will help you.
Some people, such as yourself, do not have the capability of independent thought, can't recognize it in others, and thus you blame Rush for your troubles. But then, lack of independent thought is how Obama woos his voters.
You still haven't cited your sources, Colorado-Liar.
Colorado-Man
The legal age for voting is 18 [and all who qualify OUGHT TO vote] , whether you're a "non-federal-income-tax-paying, entitlement-oriented, liberal college student" or a non-federal-income-tax-paying, ignorant, non-GED conservative lay-about. Not all college students can get to their home district to vote, so it is perfectly LEGAL to register and vote in their college town/city. All politicians should be urging the populace to vote.
And your statement that "their parents will lose them as an IRS exemption when they do that." is totally FALSE!
[from The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law] Student Voting Guide | FAQ
When your parents claim you as a dependent, they get to take a $3500 tax deduction, which reduces the amount of income they get taxed on. Students are sometimes told that registering to vote will make it impossible for their parents to claim them as a dependent. This is simply not true.
You count as a qualifying child if you share the same principal place of abode with your parents for more than six months of the year, and you don't provide more than half of your own support. If you're temporarily absent from your principal place of abode for educational purposes, that absence isn't counted against the six months you need to live there.
I AM a logical thinker, and you are just ignorant!
Colorado-Liar is a coward. He talks big, but when it comes to backing up his words with facts and evidence he snivels and slinks away. His lack of courage and poor cognitive skills are typical of teabaggers.
Sail-Cat - You are an ignorant fool. You and your What-the-hell-is-going-on friend proved my point that it is the goal of the FLOTUS (Float-us?) and her husband to get students to register in the state where they are attending as out-of-state students (as long as it's a battleground state) to disenfranchise the permanent residents of the states. (By the way, they aren't going to post this strategy on Facebook for you to find it in your search engine). If you had any ability to think on your own instead of regurgitating Chris "Tingle-Boy" Matthews, you might get it. I'm not a tea-bagger, as the term implies a gay sex act (though I do drink tea), but I do recognize that Hussein continues to raise our taxes to fund his benefactors. Maybe if you supported yourself for a while instead of requiring taxpayers to do it, you'd have the abilities to recognize this, as well.
I kinda hope he does get re-elected, but just out of morbid curiosity.
The US is an experiment as to how the public picks worse leaders as the country goes downhill more and more. I suspect the 2016 Pres will be Rep, what a freakshow that will be.
Your sexual orientation is none of my business, Colorado-Liar, but your incoherent posts reveal your politics to be nasty and perverse, though. You need to work on that.
Sail-Cat - Learn to read and then words and ideas don't seem so incoherent. You are the one using nasty and perverse language; but then, fools often do.
Hate to tell you, Colorado Liar, but your words are incoherent because you make no sense.
Not just the ones that finance your campaign or the ones you sign a pledge to.
No need to. This is why she shows class. If it were the Republican nominees wife, I'm sure she would be all over it if it were reversed.
A win in North Carolina would kick Romney right in the nads. This should be an easily won state for him after Obama's stand on gay marriage.
The first lady did not mention GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney or Republicans during two rallies on college campuses in North Carolina.
She's a class act. I'm proud to have Mrs. O and President Obama representing and leading this country. There's no need for her to discuss the Romney's or republicans.
Gee, in this case: Mrs Obama or Mrs Romey? No brainer.
She is wise to not mention Romney. At this point they only need to sit back and let Romney implode, which he is doing almost daily. She is a strong, intelligent lady.
I think young people have got better sense than vote for a President thats let the economy go down the drain and no jobs and has us knee deep in debt.
I think that young people have better sense than to go backward with Bush lite.
no, you're wrong. They know what the previous administration did to the economy and what a mess they left for the current one. They also know that the Republican nominee is a carbon copy of the previous administration and will return to the same policies that almost buried us. Plus, and this is the big clincher, they are college students not high school drop outs.
Bush is not President Obama made the mess....Bush is not President.
Joe,
Now you're just being stupid.
W left the mess, Obama is stuck with cleaning it up, and Romney complains that since Obama's not cleaning it up fast enough, Romney should be allowed to create an entirely new mess.
It's time to leave the adults in charge.
For the last time Bush hasn't been President for four years and it will take Romney eight years to clean up Obama's mess.
Joe66,
You guys are still talking about President Carter and he hasn’t been President in 32 years so it perfectly okay for us to talk George W Bush and we will for the next 50 years due to all the damage he has wrought upon us.
Government welfare programs are created to buy the
votes of those who want someone to take care of them?
Work for it or do without. Romney--Ryan--2012!!!!!!!!!!
Dennis, we talk about President Carter as a historical reference. We're not blaming Carter for the state of our nation. When Reagan took over, we expected him to fix it.
President Obama said he would fix the mess he inherited. Once he took over, it became his responsibility.
When (if) Romney wins, the state of our nation will be his problem to deal with. If he can't fix it, he'll own the consequences.
President Obama wants you all to move forward. That's probably good advice.
Why would young people vote for Obama, their prospect of getting a job gets more bleak every week. Last week those applying for first time unemployment benefits = 382,000. Today another 382,000 first time claims were filed. Over the past 2 weeks 764,000 have lost their jobs! Only 96k jobs were added last month. The economy is tanking, the middle east is in a uproar and where is Obama, on the Letterman show, rubbing elbows with Beyonce and Jay-Z, next week he will be on the View. He had no time for a meeting with our ally Netanyahu, but had time yesterday to have a pirate in the oval office, for Pirates day. Obama will have time next week to meet with president of the Muslim botherhood, Morsi.
marmee...
I don't think there will be the swooning, snakecharmed masses of adoring children at the polls this year. The kiddie-vote will still go with Mr. Obama, but not in the numbers that were seen in '08. That's why the President does about half his pouty speeches in high school auditoriums and college campuses...he needs the children to show up in big numbers for him.
marmee, Mi,
Just what kind of job prospects will Mitt be providing for young people [Oh, he of the advice, "Borrow from your parents"].
What?
They have no prospects now...and as has often been said "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result".
@Joe66
|Government welfare programs are created to buy the
votes of those who want someone to take care of them?
So if robme takes your money will vote for him?
Joe66, you are talking about George Bush aren't you??
Bush is not President when are you libs going to remember that.LOL..Bush is not President...Bush is not President...Bush is not President
Yea, Joe, we know. But when a dog takes a crap in your yard, the crap is still there. Get it?
Yea tony,thats why you should vote for Romney maybe you can clean your yard up then..Get it?
Romney..Ryan..2012
Romney ..Ryan--2012... Romney will get the USA out of the mess Obama has us in.
Government welfare programs are created to buy the
votes of those who want someone to take care of them?
Work for it or do without.
Amen to that.
@Joe66
Ok then what is Robme's Plan to get us out this mess?
What's Mr. Obama's plan ??? Pouting and ignoring or insulting the other political party hasn't done much.
She's one classy lady , I'd like to meet the Obamas , no chance but I can dream.
old man,
I found out last year that Barack and I are seventh cousins, twice removed. Unfortunately that means I'm somehow related to Darth Vader, aka Dick Cheney. Oh well...
The right wing lunatic fringe would disagree, but I am proud to be represented by such a dignified president and a classy first lady. It's good that President Obama is going to be reelected. It gives one hope for our country's future.
You have a different defination of Class
I definitely have a different definition of class from the right wing lunatic fringe. Yes, indeed.
I agree with Sailcat -- NO amount of money can buy class.
[Just think of Mrs. Romney's disdain for "you people", or Mitt's "I don't care about those people"]
'Nuf said.
'old man' is a fan-boy.
What?
"nuf said"...then say no more today !
This NORTH CAROLINIAN is voting for Obama AGAIN, and I am getting absentee ballots for my mom and brother that are not going to be in the country during the election. And as a primary care Doctor in North Carolina who sees btw 15-25 patients a day, I make sure I remind my patients to vote, and even go over the issues with them when they are confused or not fully informed. OBAMA 2012
Your Mom and Brother can't get their own ballot and need you to do it for them? Are you going to have to read the ballot to them as well?
LOL........Romney--Ryan--2012
Off course they can. And I don't mind being my brother's keeper. That is what is wrong with today's republicans. The bible says you will be judge by how you treat the least fortunate amongst you; another great reason why I am voting for President Obama.
and your a Doctor, not a very smart one. Good-luck with Obamacare.
The Bible instucts us to be our brothers keeper - yes. US, not the government.
As I recall my early Bible education, one of the resaon Jesus was killed was that the Romans feared he would lead a rebellion to overthrow the oppressive rule of the Roman government.
I really hope you enjoy the 27% cut you're going to get when obamacare kicks in!
plsthink90
and
youryou're not so much, either!Is this what you libs want Obama to do?
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
Yes I do!
We need to take that money from the filthy rich, then give it to a few people. Teachers, war vets, disabled, elderly, struggling students and people like that should do fine. Then once these people have almost all of the money, they will spend it on goods and services. The money we give them will spur the economy and trickle down to the other people like the Walton and Koch families. You call these college students rich elitists, but I call them job creators.
No...they will waiste it untill its all gone because thats why they are like they are now and im talking about the ones who are able and wont work the handouters Obama keeps up for votes ...not the old and sick people. If you a tax paying citizen you ought to know this... or just don't care.
It was clearly a joke. Nobody is really stupid enough to beleive in "trickle down" or "job creator."
Well, there are people that stupid. Just not enough of em to get Romney elected!
Joe66. . . Get a Grip!
Think before you type! [or maybe that's asking too much].
Bush warned about this mess and it was the DEMOCRATS in control who refused to do anything. Read the real history, not the ones made up by your news media as if you did not have a real brain and believe all you read. He was hosed by the DEMOCRATS on avoiding the mess.
Obama wants a nation of freeloaders and as the 53% that is paying for them, I REFUSE to do it much longer.
Obama has time to be on Letterman but no time for intelligence briefings, meet with Israeli Prime Minister to avoid a war, etc. It is time for the GROWNUPS to take the House back.
You're a walking FOX NOISE talking point, Rebecca. Get a brain and try thinking for yourself.
what do you say to that ?
This NORTH CAROLINIAN is voting for Obama AGAIN, and I am getting absentee ballots for my mom and brother that are not going to be in the country during the election. And as a primary care Doctor in North Carolina who sees btw 15-25 patients a day, I make sure I remind my patients to vote, and even go over the issues with them when they are confused or not fully informed. OBAMA 2012
This North Carolinian is also voting for Obama again. Although except for my co-workers and the UNCW crowd, I am surrounded by diehard republicans.
Wait till debates. OH NO, no teleprompter! Poor Obama! What will he do?
He should just sit there and not say a word.
Romney can mess this up all by himself.
Rebecca --- I'm also part of that 53%, I like to think I'm not greedy or selfish, I care about other people. Maybe you should look at the stats , the rich and the corps take more from us than ANY other group of people on the order of hunders of billions , thats with a B ,of dollars from the tax payers every year. Thats you and me and every other real tax payer.
Rebecca, your teleprompter comment is just plain DUMB! I think the ONLY person who DID'T use one at YOUR convention was Clint Eastwood!
Obama is going to make mincemeat out of your stuttering, smirking, lying candidate.
Obama/Biden 2012
And he really should have at least used some notes......oh, my..
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
Joe do a little research on Mississippi or Alabama and you might find a very high rate of inbreed morons who live on welfare, smoke meth, and vote republican.
Goggle it!
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
What side of the fence are you on?...LOL...I think I'd vote for Romney!
If a republican is on a computer he posts broad sweeping stereotypes he heard on fox.
Wrong again, 40-50% of my medicare and medicaid patients are Tea party/ Republicans. I even had an X-ray tech, another republican, with two jobs, who had two cars, and building a 3000 sq ft home, but she refused to purchase health insurance, not even for her kids, because she would rather go to the ER.
Isn't if funny that all those GNOPers who decry Big Government are the ones feeding off the Government trough????
Look at what states put into the Federal Gov't and what they get,,,isn't it ironic the biggest recepients of federal government assistance are the RED states! LMAO!...yet the GNOP wants to bite the hand that feeds them....I htink a constitutional amendment should be passed that no state will receive more federal money than they put it......you'll see how fast the GNOP will be squealing on how unfair it is....
GNOP can't handle facts....THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!
C'mon Mythe,,,show us the 1040's...What ARE you hiding@??
Joe66 ... Your just a partisan hack that spews the BS republican talking points..
You just went on IGNORE!
Rebecca, Wake up dear your dreaming, who has been walking around with a foot in his mouth every other time he speaks Romney. That taped conversation gave us all we need to know about Romney, who thinks 47% of us are victims think we are entitled to free food, house's and healthcare? Doesn't think anything can be done for the Israel/Palestinian situation, just kick it down the field, and HOPE something good happens.
I know President Obama will do well in the debates, the Grecian formula King not so much.
What are Romneys goals, cut tax's for the rich, and try to flip flop into the WH! No Thanks!
O&JOE
I encourage Obama's wife to encourage Obama to resign in disgrace for destroying the future for our children.
Uh, some of us encourage YOUR wife to do the same for embarassing your children at school.
Anyone can play this game.
Ok. Ok. There are soooo many things that should concern us all. Loans for college is one. But there are soooo many big money commercials on tv. And why. Sooo much money is being spent for each vote. But who is giving the money. The coal & oil kock bros are giving $100M/month to mr grover, the gop, the rushbo, foxnews.com & the romney campaign. Watch the kock tank parade video again.
http://october2011.org/blogs/kevin-zeese/lone-protester-faces-down-bill-koch-owned-tank-colorado-4th-july-parade
And look who is standing in front of the lead tank. A small businessman hair dresser, tianamen ted, carrying a sign about how the kocks are buying democracy. And destroying the planet. Everybody knows it. More tornadoes. Even in ny. 2012 set a tornado record - over 200 in our country in one day. Bring 'em on says the romney man.
Look at energy. Look at how mr grover, the gop, the rushbo, & foxnews.com and the tea party handles global warming for instance. Of the world's climate scientists
98% - believe co2 is contributing to global warming.
1.95% - not sure if co2 is or isn't contributing to global warming.
0.05% - believe co2 is not contributing to global warming
Mr grover, the gop, the rushbo, foxnews.com & all tea party members tell you they believe that the 0.05% are correct. And you should believe that 0.05% too. Ok. Ok. So what do the coal & oil kocks want. Building the keystone xl pipeline to spew millions and millions of tons of co2 into the atmosphere. Securing more oil fields in the middle east. To do away with the lowest cost renewable energy sources. And high gas mileage for autos. This will cause co2 emissions to skyrocket because mr grover, the gop, the rushbo, foxnews.com and all tea party members will tell you that the 0.05% of the scientists are correct.
Ok. Ok. So you ask mr grover, the gop, the rushbo, foxnews.com or any tea party member - what would happen if you are wrong about global warming. What if the 98% of the climate scientists are correct. They will not answer that question ever. They cannot tell you that the global temperatures will hockey stick upward off the top of the hundreds of millions years temperature chart. And never come back down but will just keep climbing & climbing. With more and more tornadoes every year.
I tell you tianamen ted is right. Everybody knows it. Even the ditto heads. Mr grover, the gop, the rushbo, foxnews.com & all tea party members have been bought out by the coal & oil kocks. With mr grover, the gop, the rushbo, & foxnews.com it is govt of the kocks, by the kocks, and for the kocks. And that abe lincoln's govt by the people & for the people will perish from the earth. And the approval of the tea party in the house & senate is at 8%. The clint eastwood man told you what you need to do. The tea party members are not doing their jobs. Their motto - my way or the highway. You need to give the tea party members in the house & senate their walking papers. Save the world from satan, save democracy in this country, save your very souls.
Marshal
The question should be WHY are people confused or doubtful of the "science" of global warming?
Could it be that some "scientist" used faulty data in testimony/ies before congress or documentaries presented to the public and were called on it? Could it be that the "scientist" are bickering among themselves of the cause? Some arguing that it is man made and others indicating that it is in the cycle of solar flares and is of the norm. I am not a scientist so I have to rely on the experts in this field but whom?
Then there is the small item of affordable energy. Our president has outlined that he would bankrupt the coal industry through regulation, but has only offered up things like Solyndra at over $527 million or expensive items such as bankrolling through DoE of over $465 million dollars to a billionaire who builds a luxury car with a base price of over $100,000 for battery storage capacity.
Technology is expensive and is 15 to 20 years off, but in the interm the administration needs to work with energy producers to curtail Co2 through available technology.
Good luck.
Yes Moochelle, the young people there will vote. Vote your husband out of office that is for his
policies that just put their coal mining families out of work!
Whatever comments may come from the Clown Car Audience...The First Lady is one CLASSY LADY and I must say I am "really proud" her husband and the father of her children is NOW and NEXT JANUARY will be our POTUS.
For the GOP TROLLS to try to denigrate Michelle is One Foolish Idea!
Yes she is a classy lady that tells you to eat right but holds Lobster dinners and $100 per lb steaks for her parties at the WH.
She is such a classy lady that she is teaching her children that it is ok to take anything that is free and that you don't have to earn it.
She is a classy lady that sent a government jet for her daughter & 25 of her friends on a holiday in Mexico at the taxpayer expense.
Funny how they dumped the vacations so close to the election, wonder why Moochelle Antoinette?
If she trulyl wants to show class, she will tell Barry that he's embarassed the country enough and he should resign.
Your name is partly correct, you have a foolish idea.
And let's add some more class, shall we?
She has so much class that she couldn't wait 4 hrs to ride the same plane with her hubby for vacations so at the taxpayer expense, she flew on separate jets. More than once, what's the matter, could it be that she herself can't stand to be around her own husband?
She has so much class that she lied on the manifest for African customs and listed her daughter as Senior staff officials.
She has so much class that during a speech on 9/11, she stated 'ALL THIS FOR A FLAG" with disdain. Now that was real class, wasn't it?
"Everybody playing by the same rules"
It's interesting reading these comments and knowing that most of the posters on here couldn't say or do anything if Obama or his team didn't state it.
Romney didn't inherit his millions, he earned it. In addition, if he had done anything wrong, the IRS would've been all over it. Get it right.
Obama can say or do anything and most, including the media will just ignore it.
If you had taken the time to listen to the rest of what Romney said, the statement comes out in a different context:
47% are people who are dependent upon government, who believe they are victims, who believe the government has responsibility to take care of them, who believe they are entitled to heath care, to food, to housing, to you name it.
What he said was that those that do nothing to help themselves, that don't even try he won't be able to reach, no matter how he tries those that feel entitled will continue to vote for Obama because of the freebies.
Why do you think Obama targets the colleges and the African Americans? (AS STATED IN THE ARTICLE, SO SAVE YOUR RACIST COMMENTS) He targets their votes because he believes they are too young to see through and get the real facts.
And lastly, I would rather have someone that has some business sense than a Community Organizer who has lived off the dole his entire life. What has he ever gotten that he earned? What has he ever gotten that wasn't aid for school, etc?
This election is about the next thirty to forty years. Young people better wakeup and think about the Supreme Court. The next President of the United States will appoint three or four replacements to the high court. If you are a young woman, and you care about your personal right of "choice" when it comes to your health, then you better think about the possibility of a reversal of Roe v. Wade. If you are Hispanic and you have lived in the United States since your parents arrived and stayed illegally, but you have gained a high school or college degree, you better care about this election. If you are elderly, living on a fixed income, count on Medicare and possibly Medicaid, you better be worried. America is at the threshold of "One man one vote" going away. Corporate America and the super wealthy are taking over, and the facts are there for all to read and ponder. Human Rights, the core thinking of our founders, is under attack, and the end result if the wrong person is elected really scares me, and it should scare anyone who is Gay, Black, Hispanic, Latino, and/or a Woman.

Whatever happened to the 100% of individuals; regardless of race, religion, etc.?
Liberty vs. Equality: USA vs. France
Has anyone ever questioned how Michelle can be overweight but so demanding that everybody else must eat the way she says?
Typical democrat - do what I say, not what I do
That's a few lbs from a recent taxpayer funded vacation. Quiet time before explaining how to "grow the middle class out".
michelle needs to put down the turkey legs....other wise she will have to fly in a c-130 cargo jet....you know what that will cost us taxpayers
MOMINNJ-6679824===One thing you can be sure of that everyone's weight will be a big part of Obama-Care down to the last once. This is the same women that said, for the first time in her life she was proud to be an American. Her and her husband need to pick up their gear and head back to the Chicago to resume their lives as private citizens.
"All this for a dam flag"

That has been established to be a lie, perpetrated by the right wing and disseminated by their weak-minded sheeple in the form of chain emails.

HC12===I remember that day. Disgusting bunch we have in the White House. I wonder why the liberals can not see them for what they really are. They are just as disgusting.
