Updated 1:53 p.m. - President Barack Obama is enjoying the help of guest stars in recent TV ads airing in swing states.
The president's re-election campaign released a new ad on Sunday, which aired during some of yesterday's nationally-televised sporting events, featuring actor Morgan Freeman doing voiceover work in a spot about the challenges Obama faced upon taking office.
And on Monday, the Obama campaign released a new ad targeting voters in Ohio, featuring former senator and legendary astronaut John Glenn speaking directly to the camera in support of the president's re-election.
"Growing up in Ohio, you learn to size up a person by their character," Glenn says in the ad. "And that's why I'm supporting President Obama."
The cameos come just 22 days before the election, as the president looks to hold off a potentially resurgent opponent in Mitt Romney, who's making up ground versus Obama after a strong performance in their first debate.
Obama's benefited from celebrity support throughout the campaign, having held a star-studded concert last week in Los Angeles, featuring Katy Perry, Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Earth Wind & Fire and Jon Bon Jovi.
Obama is also getting a boost this week from rocker Bruce Springsteen; the boss is campaigning in Cleveland this week alongside another Democratic rock star: former President Bill Clinton.
"This election is a clear choice between two different visions for Ohio and the country. We can have four more years like the last four years, with more policies from President Obama that stifle job growth, hurt energy production, and make it harder for businesses to hire," said Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg. "Or we can choose Mitt Romney, who has a pro-growth vision for the country that will unleash the private sector, utilize our domestic energy resources, and help Ohio – and the rest of the country – experience a real recovery."
Romney has made use of some celebrity support, too. Musician Kid Rock rallied with Paul Ryan last week in Michigan, and, of course, actor Clint Eastwood nearly stole the spotlight from Romney at the Republican National Convention in August with a 15-minute routine with an empty chair meant to represent Obama.
But it's quite another thing to put these celebrities on television in the home stretch of a campaign.
Outside groups are getting in on the celebrity action, too. The liberal group MoveOn.org Political Action released a new ad set to run in Colorado and Virginia featuring actresses Scarlett Johansson, Kerry Washington and Eva Longoria (the last of whom is an official co-chair for the Obama campaign) speaking about reproductive rights.

Here come the predictable responses...
Glenn's support is no surprise since he is a life long democrat but never the less will have some influence. As to the rest of the endorsements from the 1% elite celebrities, it's just acting and the ads should have no consequence. Tomorrow night is round two between Romney and Obama and I am looking forward to it.
I just wonder why this administration doesn't respect current military and its voice?
Ben,
You're kidding right? Michelle Obama and Jill Biden have worked hard to make sure that those that return from overseas have a voice and that their families have what they need, health care just to start.
I seem to recall that the GOP failed to vote for a veterans bill a few weeks ago and also failed to have any veterans speak at their convention OR acknowledge the troops in any way, shape or form.

think your talking about the wrong guy whos the LIAR!! President' Obama is
lying to us about alot of things, he can't run a country, putting our country
into deeper debt... Sounds like your still in school as I see this Hoosiers
emblem. Obama lies alot, lies about our diplomat being killed after our
diplomat had been asking for help for over a Month.. saying the taliban is all
around them. Obama if he didn't get the message is because according to some
senators say he missed more than 60 percent of the morning meetings.. didn't
attend. President is at fault for what happened there and yet he lied on tv
saying it was from the movie film that there was a crowd of angry people ...
when they have they tape that was not destroyed outside the compound showing
men with masks outside the compound and firing rockets (mad crowds don't fire
rockets) TALIBAN DOES BIDEN LIED WHEN ASKED THE QUESTION.. HE SAYS WE MUST
INVESTIGATE, and they were told it was a terrorist attack but won't admit.. IF
THEY CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS, HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE ANYTHING COMING OUT
OF THEIR MOUTHS!!!! Take a good look who we have in office now!!!! Well, I
voted for him once>>>NOT AGAIN! HOPE ROMINEY WINS, WE NEED NEW BLOOD
IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
No Layton not kidding. My focus is on a bill enacted three years ago when the democrats controlled Congress and the WH, requiring the Pentagon to establish centers around the globe in all key locations where our military are stationed to see our soldiers will have their votes counted and in on time. Thus far, less than 50% of those centers have been established. Then coupled with all the bureaucratic excuses the states give presidential election after presidential election, our soldiers are being disrespected. This has to stop.
I also seem to recall at the democrat convention that ships and planes from other countries were used to honor our armed services. Please point me to the links that go into "details" of the results of Jill and Michelle's hard work. Tricare is set up to help those who return so what's to help there?

Thanks Ursula. Here's a link to also show that this should be and is a bi-partisan issue. The U.S. Chamber is involved in their campaign as well. All should be commended for their work.

But again, I was addressing the ability for current military overseas to be allowed to have their vote counted in elections. If there is any group that should have special treatment to see that their voices are heard, it would be the military. Why does this keep happening?
Ben...
Romney is the one saying he will build 15 warships per year, that the Navy has not asked for.
Republicans are the ones who filibustered the Veterans Jobs Bill.
Ben-636050
I just wonder why this administration doesn't respect current military and its voice?
Ben,
If that's the case why did the Republican do nothing for the veterans? Why did Myth Romney disrespect the veterans in the 47% as takers? How about Ambassador Stevens family asking the GOP/Tea Nuts to not politicize his death?

Ron,
What does this have to do with the price of fish?
Ben,
Romney will build more ships every year (that the Navy doesn't want) for 20 years just because the fleet is smaller than 100 years ago even though they can go 5 times faster, go 10+ times father, stay out 20 times longer and have 10,000 times the fire power and defense systems than 100 years ago

Ron with his 'doctorate' believes only Right wingers are capable of nastiness. Ron apparently has poor vision as it gets blurry when Feisty, Bev, NDD, seeking et al type their 'love' for their fellow human. Nah Ron is like the rest, just a partisan self serving person who finds victimization in his life.
the plan Romney has in store for the USA is the two point Romney/Bain agenda. the first point ship as many factories to china at the expense of the workers in the USA. be patient for two generations of non-working Americans (the 72%), don't worry about your grandchildren they will be working in the fields harvesting crops for the very industrious Chinese middle class. point two, return the factories to the USA in fifty years and all its Chinese technology and retrain our peasant class at a rate of pittance, reaping huge profits for the aristocracy that gloat at the brilliant plan that made them even richer. The Romney/Bain plan for America: "what goes around, shall come around."
Ben is right. We Democrats could learn a thing or two about how to pay tribute to our hard-working and honorable men and women in our Armed Forces by watching the tribute that Mr. Romney paid to them during his convention speech.
Ben -- Why are you not wailing on the Republicans for voting to cut money out of the budget for those centers and for more security?
Did you miss the fact that it took Democrats to pass a bill that would expand voting centers overseas? Why wasn't that done in the previous Administration?
@Debbie -- The Navy says it needs between 310 and 316 ships to meet all its obligations around the world, a number that has remained roughly unchanged since the 1994 Quadrennial Defense Review . It is currently at 278 with an aging fleet in necessary need of repair and modernization.
The politics played in the "jobs" bill was ridiculous. It was fraught with wasteful spending. Republicans wanted foreign aide to Pakistan, Libya and Egypt to pay for the bill.
"It is disrespectful to the sacrifice our service members have given to continue sending foreign aid to those countries that we have assisted and defended when people in them attack our embassy, assassinate our ambassador and continue to detain and torture those who have assisted us." Rand Paul.
@Beverly -- again your message about 47% is not sticking. It has nothing to do with veterans. What is going on with the Middle East crisis investigation is minimal to what you would cry for if this was a republican administration. Also, one of the other families of a fallen patriot in Libya that fateful but preventable day, wants answers and the investigation to continue. Are you saying there is a pecking order in the families who suffered a loss?
So will someone please address my main concern -- why are our current military in large part being denied the ability to vote!!!! Enough of the other stuff. Why are you deflecting?

Diogenes didn't drop his lamp, did he? One can be both cynical and hopeful...
I really don't care what celebrity's think. I would like to know from the candidates what we can do lower our deficits and bring America back to prosperity. I would also like to know why we don't have a budget.
Don't Carry -- will it ever end??? WTF. Every administration passes laws and bills previous administrations don't pass. Enough is enough. Also, in the real world budgets are cut and it is up to the head of that agency to priortize and distribute budgetary funds. The agency apparently made calls on how to distribute money in its budget and they were wrong. The blame is with Madam Hillary as to the money and as to listening to the intelligence.
@Dennis -- Again, you also need to address the age and condition of the current Navy and start building a more advanced Navy. But -- I DIDN'T EVEN BRING THIS TOPIC UP!!!!!! What the hell is wrong with you people????
@DaNoid -- Mistakes were made on both sides at the conventions but it is the current administration that is in charge of budgets and monies.
i know dangerfield. look to cynisism but do not trust to hope, it is foresaken in these lands
Ben,
There already is a replacement plan in place.
What Romney is saying is that he wants to build even more ships that will increase the size of the fleet.
Why ??
Dennis -- One last time, then please address my comment. The current plans call for vessels that are intended to patrol coastal water for mine-sweeping, anti-submarine warfare and operations against smaller vessels. They aren’t designed for high-intensity warfare or providing protection for Navy aircraft carriers. Romney's proposal addresses buying the three Virginia-class submarines annually and larger warships such as destroyers and potentially new cruisers to escort aircraft carrier groups. It is Romney's opinion along with his campaign military advisers a strong Navy and presence in the Asian area will convey the strength of America to the world. I tend to agree.
Now, why are our military not be provided every measure, every effort possible to have their vote counted?
Why isn't the Navy asking for what you say they need?
BTW I spent 6 years in the Navy and servrd on carriers and subs ... you?
@Dennis -- Because the Navy's commander-in-chief is Obama and he is an ignorant, incompetent, unintelligent, petulant little boy a$$hole who if he doesn't get his way will cut off the heads of all who oppose him or proposes something he is against.
Now, why are our military not be provided every measure, every effort possible to have their vote counted?

Ben -- All that Defense spending is designed to boost GDP. (Keynesian approach.) Every time a Republican gets into Office that's the only thing they know how to do to show growth. Reagan, Bush and now Romney. War or defense spending is the Republican way of running a country. They NEVER PAY THE BILLS though.
Speaking of "not paying the bills", how is that debt clock looking?
Albany Joe, pay no attention to the Doctor behind the screen. Most of them act like keyboard cowboys. perhaps sticking to the collaberated effort to get posts collapsed would be a better idea.
Nothing like silencing the opposition Nixon style
Ben,
Not correct. This assessment is from the Admirals and the Pentagon.
There is no problem with military voting different than in 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010
Ben
To answer your question.
The Democrats do not like the Military because they vote overwhelmingly Republican. The reason why the Military vote that way is because they know leadership and or lack of leadership. The Military also knows the Republicans will have their back, not paint a target on their backs. The Democrats are slowly weakening the military with there left wing policies but they have not gotten far enough yet so they will continually try and not count Military personnel votes.
Good Lord Ben!
Seriously, your daily anger rantings are getting so old and your vileness is disgusting. Do you stay up at night thinking these things? They do have meds for anger management .... and classes ...

Ben - again with no facts. The military voted for President Obama last time and will agai in November.
Republicans will send our brave men and women into un-necessary wars with antiquated weapons and armor - like they did Iraq. The GOP sees war as an employment function and has no problem sending our military to their deaths as long as the Haliburton's of the world get their contracts.
Republicans have voted to cut funding for veterans while Democrats have voted to increase funding for veteran's programs and benefits.
Your lies are just that. But, they show what a typical Republican you are!

Katy Perry is for Obama?!?! That cinches it! I gotta be a Obama supporter now and go out and buy all of KP's CDs.
@Layton -- That response was after the fifth time being asked a question just to get Dennis to focus on mine.
@Seeking -- Where did I say that the military did or did not vote for Obama? Where did I say they wouldn't vote this time for Obama?? Where did I say that the budget wasn't cut? Please point out any "lies" that I posted. My opinions are just that opinions and not a statement of fact -- sort of like your second paragraph.
Surely you believe that our military -- especially if they are voting for Obama -- deserve to have that right to vote unimpeded by bureaucracy. Think for a minute if this was a republican administration and the military would be voting for the democrat what would you say about the majority of the centers not being opened as mandated to see the military vote is counted.
Ben - totally my mistake. I had read your comments then rukidding and should have addressed my comments to him as it was definitely HIS post I was rebutting.
Yes, I do absolutely believe our military should be able to vote unimpeded.
However, Ben, I TOTALLY DISAGREE with your comments about President Obama as commander in chief. He is doing a very good job and certainly better than Bush did or Romney (who doesn't really give a damn about the military except to use them as he sees fit) would do.
Obama/Biden 2012
really? funny I think they're still using the same weapons (M4 or M-16 variant), Metal plates for the vests were pre war, Ma Duece is the same as it has been for ages. M1A1 (or A2) havent changed before the war (see 91) AC-130 still the same, SAW still the same, the 240 and M-60 still the same (they all still use NATO 5.56 and 7.62 respectively). No seeking I believe you are refering to the HMMWV that was under armored for IEDs.
So for antiquated I am not sure what you mean. This isnt a HALO game or Star Wars. we dont have fricken laser beams.
you do realize no president has the authority to do what they will with US military except save maybe the US Marines. You arent say Romney would violate the War Powers Resolution Act of 1973 would you
Ben,
Isn’t the issue a State by State issue – aren’t they the ones that mail the ballots?
I know that the Republican SoS of Ohio was late mailing
out the ballots – Why? He gave no explanation or excuse.

Reagan almost tripled the national debt in his quest to end the recession and give big breaks to the rich.
Yet, he is hailed as a hero by many Republicans.
Reagan called for a balanced budget amendment as he almost tripled the national debt.
Bush II inherited a balanced budget and worked overtime to increase his last budget to $1.4 trillion in the hole.
Where was your debt clock when Republicans were in the White House?
Wow....I'm so very impressed ! Trying to flush out the Party's "high information" voters with pleas from Katy Perry, Eva Longoria, and Jennifer Hudson.

Hidden on the back pages of foxnews.com a story run by the AP
FACT CHECK: Romney spins one-sided story on trade, defense cuts in foreign policy speech
Published
October 08, 2012
Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Mitt Romney solely blamed President Barack Obama on Monday for potential defense cuts that Republicans in Congress worked out with the White House and Democrats and left the misimpression that Obama has ignored free trade initiatives.
A closer look at some of the Republican presidential nominee's statements in his foreign policy speech:
ROMNEY: "I will roll back President Obama's deep and arbitrary cuts to our national defense that would
devastate our military."
THE FACTS: "Arbitrary" defense cuts do not belong to Obama alone but also to congressional Republicans,
including his vice presidential running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan. The first round
of cuts in projected defense spending is the result of a bipartisan deal in
August 2011 between Congress and the White House to wrestle down the deficit.
Unless a new budget deal is reached in time, additional spending cuts will
begin in January across government, and the cost to the Pentagon would be $500
billion over a decade. Lawmakers are working to avoid that. Separately, Obama
wants to slow the growth of military spending, now that the war in Iraq is
ended and the war in Afghanistan is drawing to a close. The Pentagon's budget,
including war costs, is $670 billion this year, or about 18 percent of total
federal spending. Even setting aside the costs of the wars, military spending
has more than doubled since 2001.
At its heart, Romney's statement marks a disagreement with Obama over the proper level of military spending but also skips past a deficit-reduction deal that he recently criticized Republicans in
Congress for negotiating.
ROMNEY: "The president has not signed one new free trade agreement in the past four years. "
THE FACTS: Obama hasn't opened new trade negotiations, but he's completed some big ones, overcoming opposition from fellow Democrats to do so. After taking office, he revived a free-trade
deal with Colombia that had been negotiated by his Republican predecessor but
left to languish without congressional approval and sought similar progress
with South Korean and Panamanian free-trade pacts. The president delayed
submitting the three deals to Congress while he tried to placate Democrats who
opposed some of the terms, but finally submitted them in 2011, and Congress
approved them.
ROMNEY: "I will recommit America to the goal of a democratic, prosperous Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with the Jewish state of Israel. On this vital issue, the
president has failed, and what should be a negotiation process has devolved
into a series of heated disputes at the United Nations. In this old conflict,
as in every challenge we face in the Middle East, only a new president will
bring the chance to begin anew."
THE FACTS: With this statement, Romney
has moved toward the balance enshrined in U.S. policy from one administration
to another on the question of Israelis and Palestinians and away from his
provocative remarks to a May fundraiser that recently came to light.
In those remarks, he said "the Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace," ''the
pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish," Palestinians are
"committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel" and it would
be "the worst idea in the world" to put pressure on the Israelis to
give up something in hopes Palestinians would respond accordingly. Now he is appearing to put faith in a negotiation process he all but dismissed before.
ROMNEY: "As the dust settles, as the murdered (in the Libya consulate attack) are buried, Americans are asking how this happened, how the threats we face have grown so much worse, and what
this calls on America to do."
THE FACTS: It's unclear whether terrorism has gotten worse. There has been no incident even remotely comparable in scope or symbolic meaning to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon. After a score of counterterrorist
successes, the Obama administration has been knocked back on its heels since
the attacks' 11th anniversary, when assailants stormed the U.S. consulate in
Benghazi, Libya, and killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. There
has also been an uptick in attacks on American troops by supposedly friendly
Afghan forces. But many counterterrorist experts say al-Qaida has been
significantly weakened and the threats of global terrorism significantly better
countered over the last decade.
ROMNEY: "When we look at the Middle East today — with Iran closer than ever to nuclear weapons capability, with the conflict in Syria threating to destabilize the region, with violent
extremists on the march and with an American ambassador and three others dead
likely at the hands of al-Qaida affiliates — it is clear that the risk of
conflict in the region is higher now than when the president took office."
THE FACTS: Risk is always a matter of perception, so it doesn't fall easily into the realm of truth vs. fiction. But for the United States and the region, it's not clear that conflict has
increased in the last four years. Obama entered office in 2009 with the United
States still engaged in a conflict in Iraq. U.S. troops are no longer there.
And he came as Israel and Hamas just finished a three-week war. That was two
years after another war between Israel and an Iranian-backed force, in that
case, Hezbollah in Lebanon.
There has been no significant Israeli military conflict since Obama has come into office. That said, Syria's conflict has become the region's deadliest since the Iraq war. The U.S. has stayed out
of that conflict under Obama.

Romney/Ryan 2012
Biden interrupted Ryan 82 times. This is not strength, it is immature, and insecure. What is he afraid of? Afraid America will see something he doesn't want us to see?
Ryan on the other hand kept his cool and had some very clever responses. I loved his response to Joe about his 47% jab,
"Mr. Vice President, I think you of all people should know that not everything you say comes out the way you intended it" (crowd errupts in laughter in case you need any more clarification on what is real and what is democratic drivel) Now to be fair, republicans are also guilty of drivel, but not nearly as much as I see in the mainstream media - so yes, I check all my sources and after careful research for years, Romney is the obvious, best choice this time. C'mon guys, let's get this one done and stop hoping for a dream that is not going to happen.
ROMNEY/RYAN 2012
Ron Indiana
60% of the money Obama spends is borrowed. Try it yourself and see how far you get.
The so called economy is being artificially floated along. I look at the numbers Obama puts up and they don't match whats going on.
China and Japan has stopped loaning us money. A second credit downgrade in September. We are heading toward bankruptcy and their is nothing that supports the contrary.
I find it odd that Obama jobs created claim jumped from 4.2 to 5.3 million in just one month.
The new unemployment figures started an different measurement in September. Part time workers suddenly were counted as fully employed. That is what caused the jump into the high sevens.
I'm one of the 47% and I realize that if the government goes bankrupt I will not receive the check I worked for and was promised. I also look at how Obama handled GM. He let them go bankrupt and thousands of retired GM employees lost most of their retirement. Obama then sold the shares he bought for $100 each to China for $30 dollars. Claiming GM is doing fine is misleading. China owns it now and they should change it to CGM for Chinese Government Motors.
Bottom line our car broke down and we called a plumber.
I'm not making the mistake of voting for Obama again.
I don't care for Romney but he is a financial genius and has a proven financial record of success. You may say he out sourced jobs. This is true but everyone had to because our government under trade agreements Bill Clinton signed stabbed America in the back.
Holding the out sourcing against Romney is like holding it against a drowning man for grabbing a life preserver. It was that or go bankrupt.
Our car is broke down and this time we need a mechanic that knows what he is doing. Not a community organizer that only knows how to make pretty speeches.
FORWARD????? I don't think so!
President (5 star general) Dwight Eisenhower warned against the military industrial complex. Today's Republicans should heed IKE's words. He knew the mess we would have. Making armaments for the sake of it may make us feel good and macho and all that stuff but when your smaller military is already capable of blowing the planet apart why would we want more? We don't need to show others our strength, they aready know. The thing is battle ships are not very useful in fighting Muslim terrorists in Kandahar or in Pakistan.
wohoo, a bunch of out-of-touch Hollywood millionaires support Obama. No surprise there. So wait.... which candidate is out-of-touch?....
Please, there is no group of people who have less of a clue about how things really are, than Hollywood actors.
Now Mr Obama is letting Hillary fall on the sword for his incompetence in handling the Benghazi assassinations. Man, he can not take responsibility for anything. No wonder women are jumping from the Obama ship left and right. Most women do not like spineless weenies.
Let's see...

Because Bev is in favor of diversity, (which is a founding principle of our government), She's a racist?
You REALLY know how to make me laugh!
show me diversity when you constantly see racism Fuzzy. That is exhibit 'A' for you. guess birds of feather eh Fuzzy? you flocking with Bev?
Biden did the same thing, of course acting like a fool and a barbarian wouldnt be beneath a progressive liberal
HMMMMM, Bev or Caesar? Bev, Intelligent and well spoken, or Caesar, the exact opposite.
HMMMM.......................................I PICK BEV!
Now go flock with yourself!!!
fuzzy,
Say what?
I just heard that Romney cancelled a scheduled Thursday appearance on The View. It's relevant only in that we're talking about celebrities and politicians. I think he's scared of talking to women.
Bev wellspoken? Sure if you get out the english to Lib dictionary.

Hell , women are not all Romney is scared of. Romney is so scared he can't even see himself in the mirror.

Beverly - Romney would NEVER go on the View with his stance on Women's Issues. They would crucify him!
Obama/Biden 2012
The GOP has Victoria Jackson in their corner. And fabulous Hank jr.
Hank Williams Jr has made so many hateful, bigoted comments, I personally wouldn't want him any where near my corner!
and Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Jon Voigt. They had the late Ron Silver. Ah, yes, Mittens apparently has Lindsay Lohan's endorsement (given her stellar decision-making track record, I'm sure Mitt is grateful for her support).
The bottom line is that the entertainment world endorsements don't amount to a hill of beans. We do not need actor-in-chief; singer-in-chief. That's what we have now. We currently do not have a commander-in-chief; a genuine leader but that will soon be corrected -- Romney/Ryan 2012.
hank jr is the best example of what drugs and alcohol can do to a person.
I don't think any celebrity's opinion would really garner someone's vote. It's the recognition factor that gets the attention to convey a campaign message. Face it, Morgan Freeman has a very distinctive voice and it's hard to turn away from listening. Same thing with the Move-On ad on women's rights - anybody could stand in front of a camera and read a script, but when you get a glimpse of Johansson and Longoria, you just take notice.
No Smitty, that example goes to Ozzie Osborn. Or maybe those members of the Senate.

Surely, you couldn't possibly believe Flipper is for real?
bison999 At least Ozzie doesn't stick his whole head up his a$$ when he speaks.
I would never vote on a celebs endorsement, but the prez has The Boss!
Victory party for Obama.
Y'all forget Clint Eastwood. Did he ever say he liked Mitt Romney?
He didn't have to, but he sure made clear he wasn't too pleased with Mr. Obama.
Ah, I thought he was mad at the chair. Couldn't imagine what that poor chair had done to warrant the Eastwood drivel.
The chair did a better job at it's last staged event than the President did at his last staged event.
Hank, why DO you drank?
when BO leaves office does he retain his celebrity status?
just as he received a nobel prize for being elected do you suppose he will get an oscar for being friends with celebrities?
sure good to know that our president has these contacts though i read elsewhere that he refused to back either of two of the hosts on some show that are feuding. looks like he retains his "present" vote when things get tough
President Obama already has a Grammy award but I think the best award he achieves will be his re-election on November 6, 2012!
Ahhh! Billybob6210632 and his Republican friends are jealous that all these celebs love our President. They keep trying to make them incidental but lost all crediblity, when they discount them, the night they put mumbling old male, Clint Eastwood, front and center during primetime before Romney spoke. But lets face it folks, Clint Eastwood IS the perfect spokesman for the Republican party. Old, White and Male.
ana - don't really have any jealousy. you keep worshiping the president like the rest of the celebrity obamatons. it will be interesting to see what happens to folks when he is sent packing.
as for clint -- he was amazing. the left is simply incapable of comprehending talent given their praise for the childish behavior of our vp last week.
the campaign must have know he was going to be a disaster as they had kept him under wraps for a long time. it will be interesting how much joe we see and hear in the next few weeks.
billybob - try to keep up. The majority of Republicans were mortified at the spectacle Clint made of himself and the convention. His rambling was idiotic and the empty chair symbolized Romney more than it did President Obama.
No one I know "worships" President Obama. We do however, appreciate all of his work for the country and we see how the obstructionists of the GOP are keeping the country from recovering faster.
Your opinion of Joe Biden is yours. The majority of the country knows he loves this country and has more charater and integrity than Ryan will EVER hope to have.
Obama/Biden 2012
Obama is so transparent it is difficult for me to understand why so many people who have gone through the misery of the last 4 years will still vote for this loser in chief! So I figured all of the blacks will vote for him then all the idiots so who is left?
independent thinking - clearly you fit into your 2nd category if you actually believe Mitt Romney is fit to lead anything. He has no stance on anything that he hasn't changed over and over again. He will lie to every group he addresses and he takes his orders from Grover Norquist.
Intelligent people will vote for the best leader - President Obama. Low information voters will again vote Republican!
Obama/Biden 2012
IndependentAtheist - you are claiming the entire GOPTP party will vote for Obama/Biden. It must be true the GOPTP can't find their way around a ballot.
Gosh, independent I wonder who started all the misery? You act like the recession started the day President Obama was elected instead that the republicans had already broken our economy with wars and tax cuts for the rich.
The republicans and bush thought it was fine to save the greedy bankers with our tax money,who crashed our country, but now Romney and Ryan think that the poor and the middle class who suffered most from the crash should be thrown under the bus and let to starve to pay for even more tax cuts for Romney and his rich friends.
The republicans even voted against jobs for our returning veterans but they have a plan for more wars to create more veterans they can deny care when the republicans get through using them.

independent thinking atheist,
It's because despite the plot of the treasonous GOP/T-BAGGER PARTY to wreck this economy, our President is doing a good job which people can now see for the themselves.
HaHa, their plot backfired.

So the President's got your vote then? Thanks ita!

Seeking...
Your Democrat Party is out there right now searching in every crack, crevice, and bridge underpass for more and more of those "high information" voters who vote the same way you do. It's also fighting in the nation's courts to protect those "intelligent people" who cannot seem to be able to come up with an ID card on their own.
tony - as is the Romney camp. Your point? Both party's are out looking for each and every voter.
However, the Democrats want each voter to be counted whereas the Republican Party wants to suppress as many voters who aren't voting for Mitt as possible. Voter fraud has been proved in less than .0001% yet the GOP would disenfranchise older voters who don't drive and don't have a need for a voter ID. How desperate - how pathetic!
Oh, and sorry to disappoint you - I'm a registered Independent. Have voted both parties but I'm proud to say I haven't pulled a lever for a Republican in a long time - not since they became radical.
Obama/Biden 2012
Not the point.
Your continued reference that those who vote (D) are "intelligent" and those who vote (R) are "low information" voters is pure drivel.

Here we go again with the "out-of-touch" celebrities who make alot of money and have NO CLUE what the middle-class has to work for. This is Obama's level of understanding with the common people? And the Democrats talk about Romney's wealth? At least he works for a living, unlike these "drug abusers" who try to act and make millions for nothing. What a joke.
Romney does not work for a living - technically, his money works for his living which is why he pays a lower income tax rate than many middle-class folks.
Ooo...don't forget his speeches...remember, "I get speakers fees from time to time but not very much."
(It was $374,327.62 between February 2010 and February 2011!)
Ursula, I live in New Jersey two of Obama's biggest supporters Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Spingsteen also live here. They both pay very little property tax you know why? Jon bon Jovi is a bee farmer and Bruce Spingsteen is also a farmer. I wouldn't normally have brought it up but I am sick of people holding up celebrity's as role models.
These "out of touch celebrities" are willing to increase their own taxes for a better America for us all.
Tell me is Romney willing to have his taxes increased for a better America for us all? I didn't think so, I believe he signed the Norquist pledge to kill America for the rich and their tax cuts just like Ryan did.
Which one do you think cares more for America?
Joanne - have you noticed how the Hollywood left (the Majority) is so prejudice against those that do not have their Liberal ideas, but yet when it comes to making money they will portrait conservative roles.
Ursula and Da noid, you both most be retired or semi retired and so sucessfull that you have to post on this site most of your time.
This is my first post today. I'm on my brake now and soon most go back to my office.
I heard that we will have another surprise tomorrow. The polls are beginning to look good for Romney\Ryan and tonight I volunteer to place signs for the Romney Campaign.
lisa---but Mitt Romney says that anyone who pays more taxes than he should isn't fit to be in office (except for the party where he voluntarily paid more taxes in 2011 by not claiming charitable deductions in order to keep his effective rate higher than it would truly be). Why should celebrities be any different?
Concern, I admire that you're bilingual, but do yourself a favor and check your spellings and word usage once in awhile and your posts would make a little more sense.
Alas, I am not retired but, like you, have a chance to write a few words during my BREAK.
lisa - so you've seen both their tax returns and can verify what you're saying? And, of course you know that Jon Bon Jovi has a foundation that assists those who are needing help right now, right?
I'd still say Bon Jovi is a celebrity that stands as a role model. I know you righties hate it when people help the poor but some of us admire that!
Oh Ursula - you're talking to a brick wall when you talk with "concern." LOL!!
Obama/Biden 2012
Steeler, I don't put much stock in celebrity's endorsements. Just pointing out the obvious. Maybe they don't want their loopholes closed? Have a great day.
Lisa, I certainly do not consider celebrities "role models" but I do believe their role in political advertising is a savvy marketing technique. As I said in an earlier post, they're "attention getters" and if you can get someone's attention, you might be able to get your point across.
Ursula-279622
Ursula , thanks for the compliment, knowing two languages makes me more marketable in this economy. As you can tell working and posting when you have a minute or so its hard enough. I really don't care if I misspelled a few words or not and I do not make any money doing this.
Everyone on this post makes errors even FR.
SeekingSanity - please be a good little girl and put me back on ignore just like mami FRH tells you to.
Ursula, I'm not a rightie and your can google the info. And yes I know BonJovi has a foundation I have actually been there.
seeking,
Here in California all you need is their address. You can go online see how much they pay on property taxes how much and if any are in arrears . Tax returns are not necessary.
thetotas - true. I just wonder if the poster had actually bothered to look them up. Frankly I doubt it.
Obama/Biden 2012
Concern,
We can actually log out of our accounts in order to see your posts. Your last one concerning Feisty was totally out of line and vile. I'd suggest you get back to your computer-less office (do they have any of those any more?) and stay there until you learn how to be a lot more civil towards the other posters.
Obama/Biden 2012
JoAnn....
Celebrities are business people..... Show business people who have worked hard to achieve what they have earned. As successful business people they have opinions that are just as valuable as those business people that come from, say, the Venture Capital segment of business.
To my way of thinking, if any business person is more qualified to speak for the middle class than another business person I would suggest that it would be the show business person. Actors, directors, writers, producers (show business people) earn their money by imitating life through their art. Those artist that are unable to make a connection or empathize with those that make up their audience do not last long in the business.
Layton - I still have Concern on ignore but from your post I see she is still as ignorant as ever - and proud to show it. Don't know how you can stand to read her posts. Ugh! I refuse to take her off ignore anymore.

lisa s -
So if we're talking New Jersey, which is worse - Bon Jovi's bees, or Republican Congressman Jon Runyan's miniature donkeys?
"The miniature donkeys that graze at the Mount Laurel homestead of U.S. Rep.
Jon Runyan became political fodder as soon as the former Eagles tackle announced his candidacy in 2009. Under a New Jersey law designed to protect farmers from soaring property taxes, Runyan receives a 98 percent tax break on most of his land because he keeps donkeys and sells firewood.
Democrats attacked Runyan, whose median net worth is estimated at $7 million,
for taking advantage of a farm program to avoid paying the full tax rate on 20
of his 23 acres."
"This year, Runyan paid $61,627.28 in property taxes on the three acres that
include his house. For the remaining 20 acres, he paid $123.80."
http://articles.philly.com/2011-12-06/news/30481936_1_property-taxes-farmland-assessment-farm-subsidies
And before you answer, I'll go with this guy:
"Josh Schwerin, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, said that just because the tax break is legal doesn't make it
right.
Joann, I know about John Runyon being another farmer. All you need to be a farmer in N.J. is 5 acres and to make $500 in sales. Seeking Sanity I actually did look it up just to make sure. I just don't look to celebrity's to form a political opinion.
Layton,
I'm not going to ask what Blatina is up to now...
It would indicate I care what our resident idiot has to say! ;o)
The old broads stupidity gives me a migraine!
Layton, I find that rather hypocritical of you to tell another poster to be civil all while your own highly prized FR Furher Feisty holds anyone that isnt left of castro in contempt. I dont know what concerned posted but next I suspect you'll Reign in Feisty for here uncouth behavior right? I wont hold my breath, the status quo will Remain methinks. all quiet on the western front
Feisty - No comments since I did not insult anybody. All I said was to SS, because he did insult me. I told her to run to mami FRH because he had taken me out of ignore. It really does not matter but I see you are back in style again. I guess I bring out the worse in Liberals.
Layton- you can go and stick your head in the sand as many times as you want.
I have said many times before. You can not silence me because I represent the black Latino vote. If you and yours can not take the insults then do not insult others.
On the subject at hand it is clear that most of Hollywood has alway been to the left, now they have another name (liberals). All the same to me.
Caesar Augustus- Thank you. I do not know what Planet this people come from.
CA ....
I call 'em as I see 'em. Would have respected your comment and criticism a LOT more had you not jumped to Nazi insults. How low will you and Concern go to make a totally irrational point?

As proven previously, lower than a snakes belly... lol
I would suggest them two get a room, but I'm not sure if fertile Myrtle has gone through menopause yet!
The last thing we need is a spawn of Satan!
Nazi? I was going for alliteration. you do know what Furher means right? Of course you do.
no, you call them when an opposing view posts. Lets be honest now
my point stands despite your deflection and aversion from it. Bonum vesperum
Hey Feisty, do you find it hard to hide the fact that you are indeed a low information voter?

Okay, totally not on topic but I want to say how sad I am at the passing of Arlen Specter. Although I did not always agree with him on issues, he proved he had the country's best interests at heart.
His movement from the Republican party - because they had become too radical - even though he knew it could impact his chances for re-election, showed he truly took his job seriously and that he cared dearly for the country.
His passing is troubling as politicians of his character, on the right, are becoming few and far between. His true belief in right and wrong showed in his political stances and his integrity could not be faulted.
RIP Senator Specter.
SeekingSanity
Indeed RIP Senator Specter. I posted this earlier this morning.
You had it exactly right when you said... "Mitt Romney has changed positions more often than a pornographic movie queen. ”
I hope more moderate Republican come into the party so this country can move forward. Lawd knows we don't need those tea nuts.
Bev - working and trying to post. I probably missed a few posts about him earlier today.
Seeking Sanity---Pennsylvania used to have a tradition of moderate Republican Senators--like Hugh Scott, John Heinz and Arlen Specter. Who started the end of that---Rick Santorum. Pat Toomey defeated Joe Sestak last year and this year a Tea Party candidate is running against Bob Casey (who is moderate as a Democrat but that doesn't stop the GOP from distorting his record in their ads). A sad state of affairs.

Steeler Fan,
You should see the ad the republicans are running here in Illinois for that Dead Beat Tea Bagger Dad . It's laughable!
He got booed in a town hall for holding up a picture of the disabled veteran Tammy Duckwork shopping during the DNC.
What a douche bag Joe Walsh is!
SeekingSanity; The GOP left Senator Spector; RIP
Beverly - Joe Walsh looks worse every ad both he and Tammy Duckworth run. He looks like a man who is totally out of control. Hopefully we vote him out in November!
Exito - yep! They went so far right they left most sane people!
Obama/Biden 2012
There are a few GOP Congress people that I hope are defeated in November---Dead Beat Dad Joe Walsh leads the list, along with Alan Keyes, Michele Bachmann, Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor. Sad to say my congressman doesn't have strong opposition--wish he did.
Exito, I remember when the GOP turned it's collective back on Bob Bennett here in Utah. They still love and endorse Borin' Orrin!
RIP Senator Spector.

Sorry, a celebrity endorsement just doesn't matter to most.
If someone is willing to vote for a candidate just because Longoria says so, then we really need to tighten the voter laws.
Ah, yes. Anyone who has a different opinion than you should certainly not be allowed to vote. Nice democratic republic you espouse there...
If you can't beat 'em, repress 'em!
Perhaps "common" would prefer the Santorum IQ test as a voting qualification. Of course, that would eliminate the entire GOPTP party from the vote.

My point would be that if a potential voter is not engaged enough this particular year to learn about the issues, perhaps they shouldn't vote at all. Exactly what have any celebs done to warrant we pay attention to their opinions?
Common ...
You're forgetting about the state of the average American today...yes, some folks do get their voting cues from people like Madonna or Eva Longoria...or some other actor or singer who might actually possess some talent.
Maybe you hold a higher opinion of the average America voter than I do. I'm still trying to figure out how that wacky congresswoman with the plastic cowboy hats got elected to office ???
I went on the internet to look for myself. I found 32 Bills on jobs for Americans to work. I was shocked of what I seen! Every senator, representative and this is now they voted. Every Republican voted NO and every Democratic YES. Unemployment would be at 4.3% if the Republican voted yes to all the bills Please don’t take my word and look for your self like I did.

GetReal - GREAT post but the radical righties will refuse to admit any of it is true!
Obama/Biden 2012
Great post GetReal, unfortunately facts and standing up to your own voting record isn't a priority in the GOP!
Obama/Biden 2012
When one cuts and pastes something, isn't one required to give credit to that link? Paragraphing (that's the "enter" key for those of you from Rio Linda) would be nice as well. If you did type all of that yourself -- God love you.
GetReal3327
Like Seeking Sanity says the righties will not admit it.
Moreover, they'll spin it something along the lines of it being necessary. Of course, we know the righties are not progressive at all. They are soooo stuck in stagnation.

Unemployment would be at 4.3% if the Republican voted yes to all the bills Please don’t take my word and look for your self like I did. Take the time so we all vote for us, not them. Use the brain that God gave you and not your butt.
4.3%?
OK, so was anything else attached to that same bill? Like, maybe a tax hike>?
sirie
OK, so was anything else attached to that same bill? Like, maybe a tax hike>?
__________
That part would make them look bad
Here's a few things attached..
Oh the jobs that can be created by this list =NONE
* $305 million to keep certain people eligible for federal aid programs
* $23.5 billion to extend a higher federal match for some Medicaid payments to doctors
* $41 billion to extend expanded jobless benefits for six months
* $750 million for competitive grants in “High Growth Fields”
* $23 billion for an Education Jobs Fund for states
* $1 billion for the Public Housing Capital Fund
* $1 billion for the National Housing Trust Fund
* $2.1 billion in Clean Water funding
No one ever asked to see mitt romney's birth certificate why?
Maybe it was made in Mexico.
Mitt Romney refuses to release his tax returns from the years prior to 2010. WHY?
Why is mitt romney getting away with Illegal Campaign Donations from China?
Goldman Sachs $891,140
Bank of America $668,139

Why is it that every time Romney gets caught doing illegal things fox news comes up with a bullsit story about Obama doing it? Obama shows all Real campaign donations. I have been out of work for over a year now and gave $50 in a money order. People like Romney who make millions each year will a lot more if Romney and the kid get into office and the everyday American will really be getting it up the butt.
One last thing, why did the Republican Party said NO to all 32 bills that would make American jobs?
Why because if all the bills were passed, unemployment would be right now at around 4.3% and it's not the first time the Republican Party has done this. Look it up yourself. Please don't take my word. Open congress or open government. If you like a good job then do not vote for the republicans.
I like calling this party for what it is. THE REPUBLICAN TERRORISTS PARTY!
How do you come up with 4.3% unemployment?
Jane?Doe - not a word of what you posted is true. Thousands of jobs would have been created by the jobs bill and job training programs would have been funded to help fill the 2.5 million jobs out there that cannot be filled because of lack of qualified applicants.

Call me a liar if you like. In my opinion this list will not create jobs, just waste more money.
Opinions can differ why must the one with the opinion different then yours always be a liar?

If celebs want to perform in great honest intellectual movies (or make songs with more than propaganda in them) instead of adult cartoons and lies about life and science, they better hope for dem wins in all races. There are many truths coming out from great book writers who now have access to information with the Freedom of Information Act that Clinton passed in the 90's, you can bet Oliver Stone and/or others like him are warming up in the bullpen on old conspiracies for more movies like the 70's start - Three Days of the Condor, All the President's Men....
Thank you John Glenn for speaking of our President's illustrious character!
Thank you Morgan Freeman!
Thank you Bruce Springsteen!
Thank you Fmr. Pres. Bill Clinton!
You are helping the 99% American People, who made you what you are! We only wish the corrupt Republican corporate MONARCHY, WHO WE MADE SUCCESSFUL, would return the favor instead of DRIVING US FARTHER INTO POVERTY because of their UNCONTROLLED CAPITALISTIC GREED of which there is NO END IN SIGHT!!
TR: Thank you for not forgetting to mention a true hero. It is a shame that we forgot him in this discussion. John Glenn's mission lives on in my memory.

If the republican ideology is so great and prosperous why are the poorest most uneducated so poor?

Bev,

I'm saying why are they strongly Republican?
Because it's ideology is only meant to profit the-GOP Organized Crime Syndicate Bosses
Beverly...
Oh...so it's only Republicans who are "uneducated" and "poor". What are Mr. Obama's highest percentage voting blocs ??? Those are the educated and well off folks ???
Good to know...they should stop complaining now.
Since Obama hasn't raised taxes on the rich the celebs are safe. The middle class isn't. Obama has already raised middle class taxes through the back door through cap and trade and other regulatory fees being passed on to who else?? the middle class.
January 2013 The new Obamacare taxes start. $1,700 dollars a year for every middle class family. Obama will let the Bush Tax cuts expire and that will add another $3,500 dollars a year.
OK middle class you've been warned! Vote for Obama. He told you Romney was going to raise your taxes. He forgot to tell you he already has!!
Romney knows that a giant tax hike will destroy whats left of the economy.
He knows how to stop that and will cut out borrowing money to send overseas, minor cuts to the military and eliminate Obamacare.
Obamacare is a grand idea but it's not something America can afford right now.
Anyway the way it's set up all it does is insure billions of dollars in profits for the healthcare insurance companies and actually doesn't guaranty you anything except higher costs.
Obama has no financial experience and what he's done so far is insane.
You can't borrow 60% of the money you spend and survive. Try if you think I'm full of it.
Who was the genius that saved the American automobile industry, stopped the economic fee-fall in three months, produced over 30 consecutive months of positive job numbers, and reduced employment to under 8%?
Who has a tax plan that cannot stand the scrutiny of simple, elementary arithmetic, ran up a big Massachusetts deficit, and lost out to 46 out of 50 states in his promised job creation focus?
This is a real tough decision.
Romney is being endorsed by the singing doorman at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.
Affin...
Then you are confirming that people who have an actual job are voting for Mr. Romney....good news !
The guy is statistically insignificant. Over 92% of employable Americans are working. Ever see a well-to-do doorman? The uniform does not even belong to him. He vacations at home in a bathrobe.
As a Mormon, I'm very happy bc God has sent Mitt to clean this country of sinners.
Yes a Mormon will change the country and get ready. We do not have sex before marriage, we do drink, we do wear see through things and visualize pornographic. Not gay lesbians or LGBT communities. We well send them all in the river and build a boot for Mormon only (clean Christians). God plan will be done soon in America. The coming of the second messiah is near.
Pretty001 .... I think I just threw up a little in my mouth? You don't have sex before marriage? I live in Utah and am VERY well aware of the out of wedlock birthrate to MORMONS! Utah has the number one use of anti-anxiety meds and probably one of the highest rates of porn addicts. If you were TRYING to make a point otherwise, I'd suggest you learn to post!
Too bad Mittens wants to cut funding to teachers. Looks like you could have definitely used one!
That was some funny stuff. Have fun sailing in your boot!
Obama/Biden 2012
I think you have your magic underwear on too tight.
White Horse Prophecy anyone...? And the Mormon Church says it isn't part of church doctrine. I guess it doesn't need to be part of doctrine to be believed!
"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly
Im for Mitt and dont agree with a lot of the nonsense from the left but I definitely dont agree with Pretty001. Im testing the waters to see how hot or cold they are thats for dam sure. I aint say'n its right or wrong and each to his/her own but I aint going to stay with someone fore ever that does not satisfy me. You get married to a person that satisfies you in every way. So you need to know them inside and out.
nurse ...
No kidding. And just to make a statement about Mormons, I do know quite a few that are totally disgusted that Mittens is representing them. If I were of the brethren, I'd certainly distance myself from Pretty! What an incredibly bizarre post!

YUP !!!! I'm going to take political advice from a 27 year old girl who is a spokesperson for Moet & Chandon champagne. Sounds like this ho' is really part of the super-rich group; why is she pretending to be for Obama. She backed that disgusting weasel Anthony Wiener .... that's enough to make someone think twice regarding taking HER advice !!!!!
Any woman or minority who votes for a republican is like the Doctor who plans to perform brain surgery on himself.
Yes Obama, you have a real "honorable " bunch of supporters that you can be proud of! Most of these women supporters are sex crazed bimbos, that thrive in overnight marriages, just to fulfill their needs. I do not believe that the taxpayers,should have to pay for their birth contron, and morning after pills! Obama, you are a failure to your family, and this country!. Us Veterans did not serve in the military, just so some dumba*s could run it down. Go back to the VIEW, and discuss nail polish, , perfume. Feminine gell flavors., it seems that this is the only thing that you can do!
Oh really!!! Well, I refuse to have some Redneck Republican, flip floppin', snob tell me what I can and cannot do with my body! I am proud to ne Pro-Choice. There isn't a man out there that can ever know the pain a woman has to deal with when it comes to her body with many things. There is no man that can honestly say he knows what it feels like to have to make a hard choice regarding a baby and there are many women that HAVE to take Birth Control because it would be dangerous for them to become pregnant. In addition, if there is any doubt of the respect this President has concerning our military, I think you had better step back and read about what Michelle Obama has been doing to help our Military personnel. She and Jill Biden have been instrumental in assuring our Vets have the medical care they need and the President has initiated tax credits to businesses that hire Vets. He kept his promise about bringing our troops home. He ended that Afghanistan war that Dubya so freely got us into.
OBAMA/BIDEN NOVEMBER 2012 FORWARD NOT BACKWARD!
MountainL*** I guess that you, and people like you support birth control and morning after pills for girls 12 years and up in schools , "without their parents consent.,,you are as sick as that Obama! For your information, the schools cannot hand out aspirin, or cough drops, but This worthless Obama says they can hand out these birth control pills? Where he came from ,i guess, is that if a girl 12 years old is not married , and has no kids , she must be a "old maid" Is This really something that you think the democrats should be proud of. YOU ARE AS SICK AS HE IS!
Jeez, the disrespect just never ends, does it? Redneck Republicans and their agenda for this country are dangerous. Redneck Republicans have aklways been warmongers, screaming at the top of their lungs about how Military is weakened by Democrats which is just plain BS anyway. This President has had to overcome Obstructionism at the highest level and still prevailed in many things. You Redneck Republican supporters think the ones you support are lily white clean and perfect when they aren't and you all know it. Robme has flip flopped on so many things he reminds me of a goldfish out water and Ryan the Lyin' Wonderidiot is just following along like the puppy he is. I have to agree that these people have told somany lies they believe them all because they have heard them so many times and I love how they try to explain them away when they hear their own voices telling the lies again and again. God, you make me sick! Everything Obama does is wrong in your eyes, yet if a Redneck Republican did the same thing, he would be praised to the point of a statue being carved for him.
OBAMA/BIDEN NOVEMBER 2012 FORWARD, NOT BACKWARD!
No one wants to talk about what the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" is helping to do in Freeport Illinois for Bain Capital. The GOP/RNC "Bain Trained Speculator" is going to get 8 Million in "Pure Profit by sending American Jobs to China. The GOP/RNC "Romulian" gae the 'thumbs-up" to put up the Chinese Flag over the Sensata Technologies Plant. Has anyone thought about our fellow citizens in Freeport Illinois.? Start reading and thinking about this situation very closely in Freeport Illinois America. This is a good look into the real economic policies of the not just the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief," but also the views of little "Richie Rich" Ryan. That is fact!
But you see, this is okay to these Redneck Republican supporters because Omitt Robme stands to profit from it. If this had been something Obama did, they would be all over it like stink on........ Anything a Redneck Republican does is okay for their supporters. Sickening!
Tagg Romney's Company Misled Reporters About Its
Relationship With Ponzi Scheme–Linked Firm
The private equity firm run by Tagg Romney—Mitt’s eldest son, who is now taking a leadership role in guiding his father’s presidential campaign—misled reporters last year about its involvement with a company run by men accused of taking part in a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme.
Last year, I reported that Tagg had formed a business partnership with several North Carolina investors who are still facing a lawsuit for receiving bonus pay for selling CDs as part of the $8 billion Stanford Financial Group Ponzi scheme.
when did John Glen get Alzheimer's?
Probably about the same time Clint Eastwood tried to convince America he was a comedian! Good for John Glen! Unlikje you, he knows who the best man is to get this country backon track. He at least knows that it will take more that 4 years to clean up the mess made by the Redneck Republicans that used to occupy the White House!
I'll bet Chris Christie is really pissed that The Boss isn't endorsing Robme!
