GREELEY, Colo. -- Nearly a week after a feisty debate performance, Vice President Joe Biden is still displaying a high level of energy on the campaign trail.
Campaigning in swing state Colorado for the first time this year, an energetic Biden -- punctuating his remarks with "whoa"s and "c'mon"s -- came equipped with zingers about GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's statements about equal pay and immigration during last night's presidential debate at Hofstra University.
"You heard the debate last night," the vice president told a crowd of about a thousand at a warehouse-like expo center in red-leaning Weld County. "When Governor Romney was asked a direct question about equal pay, he started talking about binders. Whoa! The idea that he had to go and ask where a qualified woman was, he just should have come to my house!"
Repeating a criticism from this morning's interview circuit, Biden said that Romney was "a little sketchy" on details last night, as was Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan during the two men's mano-a-mano in Kentucky last week.
"The answers are always the same: 'Maybe. It depends. We'll let you know after the election,'" Biden said of the Romney-Ryan ticket.
In Greeley, where the 2010 Census estimated the Hispanic population was 36 percent, Biden also took aim at Romney's January embrace of "self-deportation" as a solution to address illegal immigration.
"I mean, I don't care what your position is on immigration. Self-deportation?" Biden said to laughter. "Whoa! Every 13-year-old, get up and move, man!"
While he issued a broad salvo about Romney's grasp of foreign policy, Biden did not mention the controversy that erupted after the two candidates tussled over Obama's use of the word "terror" to describe the September 11 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi.
Instead, he poked fun at the Romney team's occasional reference to "the Soviet Union" as well as Romney's expressed concern about Russia as the nation's top geopolitical threat. "Whoa!" he exclaimed. "These guys are kind of in a time warp!"
The vice president travels this afternoon to Reno, NV for another campaign event.

I can hear Joltin Joe now;
Give em hell Joe!
Don't bind me Bro!
yeah Feisty, Joe is one to call someone on the carpet. Of course Feisty and Joe are both unhinged and three sheets to the wind more often than not.
Back to the drunk tank for you
*kettlecorn?
Sounds like Biden got into Obama's stash of Cocaine.
...and the war on women continues with Willard.....can't/won't answer a direct question....No doubt Willard resents equal pay pay for women and would prefer that the 'blinders' stay in place.
What women don't know is good in Willard World!!
Oh, pshaw...who needs equal pay for women? After all, they'll have those flex hours so they can go home and fix dinner, right?
I like Vice President Biden. He's as genuine as any politician will ever get.
There may also be some truth to the rumor that the choice of VP may guarantee that there are not serious attempts against the President. Note, Reagan - George W. Bush, Bush - Qaule, McCain - Palin, and Romney chose Ryan.
Of course, not sure what to make of VP Cheney, but then again, he was not part of the administration, at least in his own mind.
Rmoney got the Bully Beat Down put on him last light. Did you see the expression on his face when the debate was over while was waiting for his wife to come over and pat him on the head, Priceless.
Better yet, did you check out the puss on Queen Annie's face!
She was SEETHING! lmao!
It's clear Mitt gets very testy when he is called on his lies and when he can't keep up. The President did a very good job and will do a better one Monday night.
I think Hillary will need to have most of our allies on speed dial to calm down after Romney insults them!
Why - and did you notice how the Romney's didn't mingle with anyone for a good 5 minutes while the crowd gathered around President Obama and our First Lady. I'm sure that really got to Ann!
Obama/Biden 2012
Nobody wants to mingle with a sketchy stench!
Sending the Joe out to make a few gaffs and take the heat off of Obama?
SS,
and did you notice how the Romney's didn't mingle with anyone for a good 5 minutes while the crowd gathered around President Obama and our First Lady. I'm sure that really got to Ann!
and what about the First Lady breaking the presidential debate rules by clapping loudly in support of her husband.
Pretty petty don't you think?
thetotas - if you noticed at the end - both wives clapped. Neither did during the Town Hall Meeting. Oh, I forgot, you only care when you think our First Lady does something wrong. Ann gets a pass. Petty Ann can't take criticism!
Obama/Biden 2012
Feisty - I always enjoy your posts!
re: 1.7, here's another great 'seething' pic, this one of Myth - LOL!

enjoy!
VOTE: O & Joe!
Has Biden ever said anything useful in his entire life?
Anyone....?
KJNC,
Thanks for the shout-out!
LOVE the pic!
We have seen severely conservative Willard, moderate Willard and it was only a matter of time before we got a glimpse of enraged Willard! lol
SS,
I swear you crack me up.
Romney didn't mingle with anyone for a good 5 minutes. Did you actually time it? My response was to show how ugly petty can be. You just took it one step further.
thetotas youre dealing with a diehard fanatic. like the immortals of Xerxes Persian army.
Little Willy was all set to put his Gordon Gecko face on again, but instead was shown what a pathetic liar and human being he is. Plus he got told to sit down, shut up and wait his turn. Probably the first time in his life he was scolded by anyone, including his parents. That was worth it's weight in gold. That "binders full of women" remark sealed this clown's fate.
thetotas - I countered your petty post and you have a problem with that? Funny but sad!
Good ol forgetful Joe...I"m sure someone had to remind him what town he was in...and also to remind him not to plagerize anyone again... I'm sure he DVR'ed it because it was past his bedtime.
Between Obama hugging up to Big Bird and and now his fascination with "binders", I'm glad to know he's putting in a full days work running our country.
SS,
That was a counter? Next time at least get your facts right.
thetotas - if you noticed at the end - both wives clapped. Neither did during the Town Hall Meeting.
Wrong!
RealClearPolitics, shows Michelle Obama applauding during an exchange between moderator Candy Crowley and Mitt Romney about whether the Obama administration called the Sept. 11 attack in Libya an act of terrorism or attributed it to protests of the anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims.”
thetotas: Many people clapped. It wasn't just Mrs. Obama. Do you really want to go down that road when a wife cannot support her husband, because that does seem petty to me.
What about Romney's affect throughout the debate? He was belligerent, and disrespectful to the Office of the President. And somehow this makes him qualified for the job? Did you know that both participants had stipulated to rules of debate, one of which was that they not ask questions of the other? Who broke that rule repeatedly, mainly because Mitty thinks he is the "Great I Am"? Does that bother you at all, or do you simply wish to denigrate Mrs. Obama for a pretty innocuous behavior, clapping for her husband with the rest of the audience?
My favorite moment? When Mitty was trying to make it appear that his President did not care about the deaths of the Ambassador and staff in Libya. And as Mittens was walking closer and closer to the edge of the cliff, he kept badgering his President, trying to get him to agree that the Great "I AM" was the most amazing thing ever to utter the words "foreign policy". And in his zeal, he looked back in triumph at his President, KNOWING he had him cornered, and the President calmly said "Proceed, Governor....." and Mittens fell off the cliff!
HYSTERICAL!
newday...
Talk about breaking the rules?? You sound like a crybaby... And talk about being a hypocrite.... "Office of the President" and then in the same paragraph..."Mitty"... It's no wonder rational people see you for the hypocrites that you are... Romney did an EXCELLENT job considering he was debating against two people. Romney showed courage by even being on stage and accepting the invite knowing how biased the moderator is towards Obama. You can tell that Barry is pulling in all the favors now that he is in the homestretch and he sees Romney pulling out ahead of him...
Let me ask you this...when George Bush was in office, did you extend him the same respect since he was president? Wagering on your lack of respect for the other candidate, I already know the answer to that...
.
Thank you for the insightful comment. (I know all of yours usually are!)
Hey folks! Since you invented the VCI, how about updating it? My figures show it improved by 16 points since the last update...
I have a question for everyone who over the last 4+ years has accused President Obama of being arrogant and being a narcissist...
How did you feel watching the arrogance of Mr. Romney last night attempting to bully and talk down to Candy Crowley, getting flustered when he was challenged and always seeking to get the last word?
And changing the rules by questioning the President like the pretentious twerp had the right to do that?
Romney wears badly.
Willard is what he is.....a bully!....Spoiled rich brat CEO.....rich guy who respects nobody.
He bullied his way through the GOP Primary and has bullied the moderators of the debates.
Kudos to Candy Crowley!
STFU!
You and the rest of your cohorts were telling us two weeks ago, we couldn't blame the moderator!
If it wasn't for double standards, YOU clowns wouldn't have ANY!
Gotta sting a bit when I woman took Willard to the wood-shed!
@U,
Considering the obvious bias last nights moderator had...
Hahaha!
Candy wasn't gonna let herself get stepped on by Romney like Leherer did.
She actually had the unmitigated GALL to call him out on the truth (the operative word being SHE)...
...and you just can't stand it.
Obama/Biden 2012
Clown? Candy appreared to be one......FR liberals are also in the same category.
Double standards is a firm play of the liberal left. Cry, cry and then blame the other party.
*tissue or *popcorn?
Caesar,
Have you notice that Feisty gets testy as the day goes on?
1funygirl - clown? You're referring to yourself, correct?
Obama/Biden 2012
I sure do...
Reading hours of unmitigated bull@!$%#, has a tendency to do that to people who still have neurons firing in their brain!
It's the same crap, day after day with you RWNJ's, come here spread a lie, continue to repeat and pray it will stick!
I don't suffer fools like yourself lightly, don't like it? Don't read it!
@Feisty,
Stay feisty, my friend.
I get it - gotta be rock-em-sock-em.
The stakes are too high to be nice now.
Cheers!
Obama/Biden 2012
Salud, my friend!
I have been on First Read for over 4 years, guess you can say I have plum run out of patience with the village idiots (especially the phony "independents"! ;o)
thetotas
Caesar,
i say the heavy drinking is tied to later the day goes on. Methinks Feisty is a violent drunk. Besides i've seen how she treats you and No Joe and few others. And you guys never used the vile and sub human behavior she has.
Sad part is, the 'friends' Feisty cheer her on and approve of the Feral behavior, RIGHT LAYTON. Low self esteem or some sort of arrested devolpment in adolescence/childhood years.
Her protege Seeking is no better.
but keep posting Thetotas, its fun watching her unravel.
Criticizing Candy Crowley as a moderator is undeserved. We all knew beforehand Ms. Crowley has a liberal bent. I give Governor Romney credit for agreeing to the choice of moderators for all 3 debates (if it was something he did agree to). He had to know he would be walking into the lion’s den. Too often the candidates only talk to friendly audiences. It takes character and confidence to face a possible adversary. The ability and willingness to do so makes one qualified to be President.
Regarding her “assistance” on the Libya matter…..She did throw the President a lifeline on that question – and the President didn’t have to answer on his own. She also stated the fact that for weeks the President kept with the now debunked story that the attacks were not triggered by a video or protest.
The questions she chose were interesting as well. I was not surprised she chose the lady who thought the world’s ills are President Bush’s fault. I was surprised she chose the gentlemen who said he voted for the President last time but is so disappointed in his record he may not vote for him again.
If this is true, then WHY did Team Willard agree to her as a moderator?
I never thought I would see the day where you jumped onto the "blame-game"...
Ahhh well... there's always a first time!
It's alright Candy, 19 more days and we will see the end of entitled Mitt & his wife!
Sadly, for him and his supporters, it isn't "their turn" after all! lol
@Feisty,
"Anti-entitlement" (while entitled by $ for all of his life) Romney thinks he's entitled to the Presidency.
Ironic, eh?
Bali Bob,
I think that is one the things which grates on my nerves the most!
Willard has been running for President for over 10+ years and either can't or refuses to tell us WHY he wants to be President, other than; "it's their turn"! GRRR!
Poor sap has daddy issues just like Dubya!
he does? How so? I highly doubt that. what a silly statement. Ok, sure then Bobby boy then Obama thinks he's entitled to a second term because he's been entitled and cottled by everyone his whole life.
@Feisty,
Message received and understood.
"Anybody but Obama."
Even if it's someone that they don't really like.
Someone that Newt Gingrich actually called a liar... and was routinely smashed by Republican pundits during the Republican Presidential Primaries.
There is an old political saying:
"Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line."
Obama/Biden 2012
Feisty,
Romney agreed to moderators with liberal tendencies because he wasn't afraid to.
I was actually saying the blame game in this case is wrong. By writing"criticizing Candy Crowley as a moderator is undeserved", I must not have been entirely clear. ???
Anyway, I thought the job of the moderator was to compel the candidates to clarify their comments and to hold them somewhat accountable in their answers. Criticizing her for doing is off the mark. In my opinion.
Bali Bob - and goose step the whole way!
Obama/Biden 2012
Well...I see that when Barry can't win on his own, he has call in help. Really sad...Romney did great with 2 against 1. Barry is really calling in all favors now that he's in the homestretch and he's fading..
So, in other words, because Candy Crowly did, and things didn't go as according as planned, NOW you want to cry foul! lmao!
I'm done arguing this nonsense, Willard got his ass kicked and YOU & the rest of the right wing nitwits continue to float down the river of Denial!
As I said earlier, it will be over shortly and you'll will have to adjust to saying President Obama for 4 more years! lol
Have a nice evening! lol
Well...I guess expecting anything fair from a biased moderator is par for the course...first the VP moderator, now this clown. Given that disadvantage, Romney hit it out of the park!!
Vote Romney!
The Mormon vs. The Moron
Jeez, Feisty, I'm agreeing with you on this one.
Are you okay?
It was the moderator's fault. The cry of the loser! LOL
All I hear from the left is Romney was disrespectful to Obama and the moderator, Candy Crowley. I was watching the same debate and didn't see it that way. First, Candy Crowley should never had injected herself into the debate by taking Obama's side (she was to moderate, not fact check). Second, I remember Candy Crowley trying to get Obama back on of subject of "guns" and Obama just BLEW HER OFF and kept talking about hiring teachers, he never did address the issues of the questioner. BTW, for all you liberals the hiring of teachers is the responsibility of State and local governments not the federal government. I would think Obama would know that, but then you lefties believe the Federal government should be responsible for everything from cradle to grave.
Candice -- You wrote:
He was afraid to face the women on the View. He thought they were sharp-tongued, his words. That would be funny if it didn't prove his disdain for women. I get the feeling he's not comfortable with a woman being his equal.
Whine whine whine. Just accept the fact that your guy won one and the other guy won one. At least your candidate is in the debates.
Stein/Honkala 2012
sfcret - Except in the GOPer controlled states, like Ohio, where the state funding for education has been dramatically slashed. If the federal government doesn't step in to help fund the schools, our educational system will go down the toilet! The GOPers have been demonizing teachers and demoralizing them to the point where we can't keep good teachers in the classrooms! So take your argument and put it where the sun don't shine.
Holy,
You sound like a disgruntled teacher. Did you ever stop to think that if the state didn't have to spend as much on administrators, there might be more money left over for teachers? If Ohio is anything like it is out here in California, the unions control everything. They have a stranglehold on our kids educational future and our states fiscal future. So why don't YOU take your argument and your uncontrolled spending and put it where the sun don't shine...
JKnumbers - I am not a teacher, but a research scientist. I know teachers from volunteering at STEM schools and judging science fairs. I unlike you know what I am talking about and not just spewing GOPer talking points. So much for your assumption! You just made an ass out of yourself! ROTFLMAO@U
You don't have to be a GOP'er to comprehend the influence that unions have on a state's government. How about the MILLIONS that they spend to advertise for the next tax hike on us tax paying citizens? How about that? If they really really cared so much for their rank and file, then why don't they give the money back to the teachers instead of using their hard earned dues for political purposes? You see? ANY person with a brain would easily understand that...I know it's a stretch for you, but maybe you should get out more and find out how your tax dollars are being wasted...
Don't carry it ---
Was it that he was afraid to face the women on the View? Or did he think day time and late night talk shows were inappropriate venues to discuss the serious issues of our times. He didn't appear on Letterman either. I don't think that means he has a disdain for male comedians.
The GOPer mantra - Unions Bad. Well our Governor Kasich pissed off not only the teachers, but the police and firefighters as well. I see firefighter and police for Obama/Biden yard signs all over Columbus! Most of them were GOPers at one time. I guess they saw the light. Ohio goes for Obama/Biden! We all know what that means; no GOPer presidential candidate has won without Ohio.
4 more for 44!
Holy,
That's a bunch of BS...the unions have ALWAYS been in the pocketbook of the democrats in Ohio, just like out here in California. They love to be at that teet sucking the tax payers dry. Well...guess what?? There is NO MONEY! The problem with democrats is that you spend more than you take in, so when you are out of money, guess what? You tax, tax tax!!! It's your greed that got you into this mess. Out here in California our liberal loons based the tax structure on taxing the wealthy more, and guess what? When the crash came, no more wealthy people to suck dry any longer, but at the same time they were too blind to cut back on spending. It's just like an addict on crack..they get addicted to that cash coming in and when it doesn't they cry and resort to the ONLY thing they know what to do...raise taxes!! I remember Kasich from my days in Ohio and thought he was a great politician. If the unions are crying and bitching, it's clear he is doing his job!!!
Candice -- He appeared on Leno. Why call the women sharp-tongued, Candice? Can't he handle a woman who has a different view from him?
JKnumbers wrote:

Wrong again JKnumbers! The police and firefighters unions endorsed Kasich in 2010. That ended quickly with senate bill 5! Our unemployment rate is much lower than the national average, but that is not Kasich's doing. He is just along for the ride.
GOPer mantra #2 - starve the beast. That way the can privatize all of the government responsibilities and make more profits for the 1%. Let's put more money in the hands of Wall Street, take it away from main street and then take away all regulation on the banks. Oh that is such a good idea! Snark.
Holy - you stated: sfcret - Except in the GOPer controlled states, like Ohio, where the state funding for education has been dramatically slashed. If the federal government doesn't step in to help fund the schools, our educational system will go down the toilet!
That's BS and you know it. It's the voters of the State and local governments that control their local politicians. In your mind if the states and local communities don't do as you think or as Democrats think then the Federal Government should step in. Same thing with first responders (police and firefighters) that is also local responsibility and not the Federal Governments. Get a life and take some responsibility for your actions.
You stated that Ohio has an unemployment rate below the national average but that is not Kasich's doing, then who in the hell should get the credit? I really hope you don't say Obama because you would be lying like hell.
Holy,
You really should stop with those liberal talking points!! The "1%" (you mean like the union bosses perhaps??)...I suppose you were out there crapping on the police cars during the "occupy" movement. And yes, starve the beast is the only way to bring sanity to the loons on the left that have spent the state governments into the ground. You on the left didn't/haven't ever learned to manage your states money, so perhaps it's time to force you to live within your means....
Don't Carry It -- I don't know why he called the ladies on the View sharp tongued. Maybe they are. The other half of his comment was that they are not conservative, and that's certainly true.
(Personally, I find watching the View like watching cackling hens at a coffee clutch - not my cup of tea).
Appearing on the View would have been tricky for him. He and the Republicans gave the President quite a bit of grief when the President appeared to choose the View over the Prime Minister of Israel. For Romney to go on the show after that would not have been a good idea.
In the time of the GOPer caused "trickle-down" (a.k.a. voodoo) economic crisis that this nation was in, YES, it is the position of the Federal Government to step in and "stop the bleeding"!
If Kasich was not just along for the ride on Ohio's unemployment rate, why did the RNC tell him to STFU! Because it contradicted their ignorant talking point that the economy was headed in the wrong direction.
God JKnumbers you have really bought in on Rush Limpballs definition of OWS. And no I did not participate to much other than to give them food, my arthritis and job kept me out of most of the action. Speaking of lying Rush, why hasn't he moved to Costa Rica as promised? SCOTUS upheld the ACA. LOL
Holy,
Speaking of promises, how in hell is Obama running this term when he swore that if he didn't turn this economy around he would be a one term prospect?
And you are the one that is blindly hanging on to this notion brought on by the social misfits of the left. Obama talked last night about everyone paying their FAIR SHARE...and the left is frothing at the mouth about the rich paying their fair share, but what about the others that pay NO FEDERAL TAXES?? What is their FAIR SHARE?? Is it fair that that they pay NOTHING? God...you really need to take dose of reality and see what you shovel. I could care less about the Rush loons on the right and your Maddow loons on the left. I see the waste of our tax dollars, the influence by the unions on our elected officials each and every day out here...it's a cesspool brought on by those that want everything but expect everyone else to pay for it. Perhaps if everyone had a little "skin in the game" things would be vastly different.
JKnumbers -
1. President Obama has turned this economy around! We were staring into the abyss at the end of Duhbyas tenure. If the auto bailout would not have happened, the unemployment rate in Ohio would have gone upwards of 12% at least!
The others that pay no federal taxes are:
1. Children
2. Retired seniors
3. People making below the poverty level who don't have to pay taxes thanks to previous presidents both GOP and Dem.
4. The disabled.
You say Unions influence our elected officials? Yes they do, but not to the extent that people like Sheldon Addleson and the Koch brothers influence the GOP! Lets overturn Citizens United, get the private money totally out of politics, including the Union money. Make the election season 3 months and have it totally publicly funded. Maybe we could get something done in Washington without perpetual campaigning.
PS. It would also help to get something done in Washington if the GOTPers would do something other than vote against abortion and the ACA, besides naming Post offices that they are going to shut down! Get a dose of reality you own self!
Holy,
I know this goes against your ingrained way of thinking, but there are alot of people that also pay no FEDERAL taxes not included in your list. Take for granted the child care credit to name a few that in essence allows someone to receive a refund when they don't pay a tax...
Well...there you go again with blame the other guy. It would be a big step in the right direction if your party took some responsibility as well. Remember the housing boom? Guess who passed the legislation to make it easier for people that shouldn't be able to afford to buy a house and yet were "qualified"? Let's look at the fact that Bush wanted to put regulations in place to prevent this type of thing, and yet was voted down by YOUR party. So when all these people bought homes, refinanced to pull equity out, and then end up not being able to afford their mortgage whose fault was that?
PS - It would help to have BOTH parties work together. You stomp your foot over the inaction of the GOP, but yet avoid talking about your failed Democratic leaders like Pelosi and Reid... If I remember right, when the Democrats came into the majority back in 2008, wasn't it Pelosi that shut out the GOP...using the phrase similar to "Get the hell out of the way"? That does not inspire the other party to want to work together and it was reflected in the frustration by America in the 2010 mid-term elections.
You betcha, all dressed up.... kids scrubbed clean and quiet.... whether or not she's waiting anxiously for the 'man' of the house to enter.
With his paper, pipe & slippers... lol
Throw in the pooch and the vision is complete.
Completely asinine!
Oh, gotta love this one!
a UMass-Boston study found that the percentage of senior-level appointed positions held by women actually declined throughout the Romney administration.
Does Mitt even realize his lies can be checked? Does he care?
Obama/Biden 2012
Mitt has lied so much that his lies have become his truth.....He does not care!
While some might find the concept a little June Cleaverish, the truth is that many married professional women do value flex time and do believe that taking care of their families is as important as excelling in their jobs.
President Obama, on the other hand, seems to believe that Planned Parenthood and free contraceptives are key if a woman wants to excel and deserve equal pay.
The difference that I see is that Governor Romney believes women can do it all. This belief is absolutely correct.
The President seems to think women can't and babies are what gets in the way. This belief is bizarre and somewhat offensive.
Candice - what a gross misrepresentation of what our President believes and supports. Your need to lie to support Romney says it all. President Obama knows that many less privileged mothers and other women get healthcare from Planned Parenthood. Much of the time it has nothing to do with contraception.
Your lack of any knowledge is only overshadowed by your eagerness to shout it at the top of your lungs. You clearly don't have a clue about anything. But, you're a good little Republican girl - do just what the boys tell you to.
As a professional woman I appreciate that not all women are as fortunate as I am. Those who need to use the Planned Parenthood services deserve the same respect as women who can afford to go to regular doctors. And, I don't begrudge anyone their personal life. Birth control is a necessity for many. Being paid the same for the same job is something every woman has earned. The fact you are too dumb to know this says it all about you!
Your whole analogy of what you believe our President thinks is so far out of reality it is disgusting.
Obama/Biden 2012
Seeking. When the young lady asked what he would do to ensure equal pay for equal work, the President talked about contraception and Planned Parenthood. Didn't you find that a little bizarre? How exactly does contraception correlate with equal pay?
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/2012-presidential-debate-full-transcript-oct-16/story?id=17493848&page=5#.UH9AwcXR6So
God, Candy, every time I think you cannot be more simple minded, you prove me wrong AGAIN!
Family planning is the most important protection women have, both for their own health, as well as to stay in the workplace, and go up that magic ladder to higher pay.
Do you really NOT know this? Or you just don't care?
What are you saying, Newday? Women with children can't climb the corporate ladder?
Do you really believe this? Or do you not comprehend what you're actually saying?
Just like Ann Ronmey; spending a lot of time in the kitchen, doing the laundry , taking out the garbage, and 'oh yeah, taking the car up and down the elevator. she really knows what it's like to be a Middle Class lady.
GOP SOB
The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" is a pathological liar, who walks around with binders full of women. What is he a PIMP! The "Bain Trained Speculator" is a "Boneheaded Bully," it was great to see this GOP/RNC "Outsourcer and Chief" being put in his place by Cardy. The GOP/Tea Begger is not Presidenttial at all, and that was clear last night. Now his big CEO Friends are now threatening their workers to vote for their "Special Speculator Friend." These CEO's are insulting, rude, and manipulative. These CEO's are "Business Bullies," and what they are threatening is UnAmerican. In a 'quiet room' today the GOP/RNC "Intervert and Chief" is smoking Crack with "Jerky" Jack Welch, "Richie Rich" Ryan, "Nutty Newt," Annis Akin's," and many other Plutocrats. Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The Party Of NO has got to go! Get out to vote America!
Goodness, Progressive is still on this evil CEO division? It's old news, like the tax return thing.
You need to find a new talking point, not regurgitating the old lines from the earlier Obama campaign statements!
Blatina here.
I feel sorry for FRH and her friend. What on earth are they going to do if and when Romney wins?
My heart really goes out to them. My sister from Miami says hello to you all and she wants you to know that lots of latinos and latinas are voting for Romney/Ryan.
Joe, I love you but you need to retire and rest.
Did you know that progressive is better know as Socialist in the Latino circle.
@Con,
My sister from Miami...
Miami, Ohio or Miami, Florida?
Either way, you lose.
Obama/Biden 2012
Concerned - Tell that to Rosie Perez. Have you seen Rosie's new video concerning Myth and the Latino community? Hilarious!
Listen up! All of you independents and undecided voters!
I think a little refresher course in history maybe needed in helping all of you make a wise decision on whom to vote for!
The lunacy in the GOP started with the Reagan Era, and the GOP would like nothing more, than for all of us to forget their three previous administrations, because all three were filled with nothing but failed policies. And, they know that if the majority of our citizens knew how bad and harmful their policies have been to our country and economy that their chances of ever winning another election would be next too impossible.
Does this sound familiar? "Government is the problem, and Government is Bad.”
From early in Reagan’s presidency’s he started the corrosive distrust of the people’s government and made it a permanent fixture of American politics.
Did you know that Reagan could be considered the Father of the GOP’s fiscal irresponsibility?
Did you know that Reagan was forced to raise taxes at least twice, to avert a financial catastrophe?
Did you know that Reagan caused the national debt to skyrocket during his two terms?
Did you know that Reagan tripled the national debt by the end of his two terms?
Did you know that Reagan’s fiscal irresponsibility equal the entire debt burden produced by the previous 200 years of American history?
In other words, Reagan produced red ink as far as the eye could see!
And, even with the election of George H. Bush, it didn’t stem the flow of red ink.
George H. Bush created a little more than 4 trillion in debt during his presidency.
George H. Bush had to break his famously “read my lips, no new taxes” quote to address the cascading budget shortfalls, and his very own party turned on him, and which probably cost him reelection.
Only with the election of Bill Clinton did the hemorrhaging stop. At the end of Clinton’s presidency no amount of national debt could be attributed to Clinton. Through his policies of higher taxes and reduced spending helped bring about the strongest economy since WWII, and when he left office the CBO had forecasted that if his policies were continued that 5.6 trillion dollar surplus would accrue over the next 10 years.
Then we elected another fiscally irresponsible Republican, and almost from the beginning of George W. Bush presidency he began squandering away the forecasted 5. 6 trillion dollar surplus, because of his 1.4 trillion dollar tax cuts in 2001. George W. Bush.’s second round of tax cuts in 2003 accounted for the doubling of the national debt.
Then you add in 2 unfunded wars, 1 unfunded Prescription Drug Mandate, and his American Dream Downpayment Act, and all of this adds up to is, he took a forecasted 5.6 trillion dollar surplus and turned it into and 11.9 trillion dollar debt! And, it’s all easily verifiable by going to Treasurydirect.gov. And doing the math!
Now, when you read the last portion of this posting keep in mind the first part, because you’ll most definitely see a pattern!
1)Their self-fulfilling prophecy of bad government under Republican leadership, as the Bush recessions of 1991 and 2007, the Hurricane Katrina response, the Iraq catastrophe and the transfer of federal oversight powers to the industries being regulated all showed.
2) And, when the backlash from the American people inevitably comes as it did in 1992 and 2008, attack the very legitimacy of the new Democratic president they elected.
3) Then they turn to the filibuster and other obstructionists’ tactics to block the Democratic agenda, inaction for which the incumbent majority will be blamed.
4) They target the institutions and programs (Social Security, Medicare, the IRS) which form the underpinnings of progressive government.
5) They are smart enough to know that their plan cannot be fully implemented in just a few of their presidencies, and it will take a longer period of time.
6) And, all they do to get ready for the next cycle is, simply lather, rinse and repeat the procedure.
7) This has been the GOP’s Recipe for Successfully Changing America Into the Country of Haves and Have Nots!
Now, remember #3 and 4 above!
From the onset of President Obama’s presidency the GOP has made it very clear that they had no intentions of working with him, even though they had no idea of his plans at the time.
Mitch McConnell said, that their only goal was to make sure that Mr. Obama was a one term President.
The GOP has been on a witch hunt ever since President Obama took office.
Through the GOP’s underhanded tactics have caused this country to have to endure 4 extra years of depression/recession.
The GOP has jeopardized our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren’s futures by their underhanded tactics.
Then they try and lay blame on President Obama for their contrived fiscal irresponsibilities.
We elected Mr. Obama to try and right the wrongs of the fiscally irresponsible borrow and spend republicans, and as you can see all they’ve done throughout his presidency is to try and keep the country in a depression/recession and by doing so has kept the public in a despondent mood just hoping you all are stupid enough to vote in another one of their fiscal irresponsible candidates!
Now, if you want to be a party to their lunacy, then vote for Romney/Ryan to further the destruction of your country!
Or,
If you want to stop this lunacy, then vote for Obama/Biden to resurrect the Middle Class and save your country!
BTW, Copy this posting, and pass it on, because the truth will set us all Free from the GOP’s Lunacy!
These are just some of the promises Broken rulings on the The Obameter.
Increase the capital gains and dividends taxes for higher-income taxpayers

Repeal the Bush tax cuts for higher incomes

Forbid companies in bankruptcy from giving executives bonuses

...but, seriously, "Concern", I want to hear more about how tax cuts for the wealthiest totalling $4.8 Trillion will result in those wealthiest Americans not paying any less in taxes and how those tax cuts will be deficit neutral because Mr. Romney proposes to close loopholes and limit deductions.
Surely he has more to say about that, doesn't he?
Da Noid - OMG you're not REALLY trying to have a serious conversation with Concern???? LOL! Good luck with that!
Obama/Biden 2012
The best humor is unintentional...( how many get the joke?)
Stonecoldtruth, How come it is that Pres. George Washington is the only president that didn't blame current problems of the nation on the past administrations?

Talk is cheap, and trash talk is even cheaper and smells bad to boot!
If your candidate says a mouse can outrun a horse, don't doubt it, put your money where your mouse is!
Those who fail to learn from the past our condemned to repeat it, and that's exactly what the Republicans want!
Irony is lost...
shoot dangerfield i thought they all had their magic 8 balls.
'Not likely'
if only a ha penny i had LOL
The Republicans have done everything under the sun to destroy our economy.
And, here’s the kicker, just to bring about their version of Capitalism!
This upcoming election boils down to whether we want. . . .
The Right’s version of capitalism, a laissez-faire type of capitalism, whereas. . . .
Capitalism is characterized by free market fundamentalism, where consumers, workers, and families are left on their own, and businesses do whatever they want, with little or no role for government.
Or, do we want the Left’s version of capitalism where society sets the rules and standards of commerce, regarding matters like protecting consumers, employees and the environment from irresponsible business practices, such as excessive pollution, risky oil drilling, predatory and reckless bank lending, unsafe workplaces, food, medicine, cars, and airplanes, minimum wages, and discrimination by race and gender.
It’s as simple as that!
Go Joe! Keep it up Joe! Give 'em hell Joe!
I loved it! It was more like Saturday night live ,where Romney had nowhere to go. Every time Romney opened his mouth, Obama made Romney put his own foot in it. The look on Romney face was priceless. Romney doesn't have any respect for the Americans who were killed in Benghazi or the Navy seal that was killed in Libya. Romney talks about the American people who were killed like a pieces on a game board. What a low life! Not only did Obama clean Romney's clock last night, but so did the Moderator and then the audience got in real a shot. Romney had nowhere to go but to the floor after being clocked on both sides of Romney's lying two faces.
When Romney said I care about 100% of the American people, I want 100% of the American people to have a bright and prosperous future, I knew that Romney was asking for it and Obama was more then happy to call him out. Talking behind American's backs about the 47% comments during the $50,000 each person diner.
China is stealing American ideas and technology.' That is what Mitt Romney says in his campaign, but when it comes to making money those Chinese companies suit him just fine," says a narrator in the video. "Romney invested in China's version of You Tube, a haven for stealing American videos, and Romney's even invested in a Chinese electronics company being sued by Microsoft for pirating its software." Now
President Obama marked the first time in 22 years that a U.S. president blocked a foreign acquisition in American's Companies. President Obama was correct in saying that Mitt Romney was the last person to talk about getting tough on China.
Romney is in the habit of selling American Jobs oversea s is now being stopped by the President after learning about Romney's selling American's NEW JOBS! I would Love to put my size 12 foot up his Butt. Can you believe this low life?
Go on you tube search and see who is the real mitt Romney.
Obama GM bail out. GM then closed plants including Delco and Delphi (GM parts division). The NEW CHEVROLET SPARK, Made in GM Plant in South KOREA. GM PARTS are now being made in CHINA and MEXICO among other places. But I get it Immigration Policy, Close plants in U.S., create jobs in Mexico and the illegals will go back and make GM parts? BRILLIANT POLICY!
Obama was the one ducking the “inconvenient” questions.
QUESTION: Your energy secretary, Steven Chu, has now been on record three times stating it's not policy of his department to help lower gas prices. Do you agree with Secretary Chu that this is not the job of the Energy Department?
OBAMA: The most important thing we can do is to make sure we control our own energy. So here's what I've done … “ and then he launched into a long-winded self-aggrandizement and vilification of Romney without ever once touching on Steven Chu, the Energy Department, or its policy.
Keep repeating to yourself "binders full of women, binders full of women, binders full of women" while your grasping at those straws. Your boy lost the women's vote last night, get it? That, fyi, is a big chunk of votes. Not refundable. You'll be crying Nov. 6, so stock up on Kleenex.
tonybeeerm - Apparently both you and Obama have no clue what a "binder" is or how it is used by top-level executives as a management tool. Ask a Business Administration major or a CEO. You both might learn something.
Obama didnt know what a pension was.
Pizza! Pizza!
To the Obamination. Ok, uncle!, I give!
I can't wait for the Headlines:
Chicago Daily Tribune, "OBAMA DEFEATS ROMNEY"
It will be in ALL the papers. Websites too.

Can't help but wonder how Governor Romney's gonna do with those "Binders full of Women".
Obama/Biden 2012
Does Queen Ann know about the binders?
She thinks her Warmblood wears them over the eyes. LOL Hi NDD!
Hi, HolyHandgrenade!
Gosh, I enjoyed watching the President taking Mittens down a peg.
It was truly a pleasure watching our President last night. I just had to keep from gaging, or throwing a shoe at the TV every time Myth opened his lying pie hole. LOL
Holy Hangnail
I thought Mitt Romney did pretty well against the "Simp" and the "Blimp" myself. After all our skinny ass-ed failure of a president could slither all around that stage, but he couldn't run fast enough from his failed four year disastrous record and fat ass "Candy" showed the world how she got her name. ( Did she clean out the candy supplies on the entire east coast by herself? The kids will be so disappointed on Halloween! )
Obama got hammered on the economy again .
ontor
not nearly as much as the empty suit moron has hammered the economy himself!
How many people are showing up the see the court jester?
obama is sinking faster than the titanic in the latest poll..
51 to 45 romney..
seeya berry..
The scariest thing is, this moron is a heartbeat away from being our president, which couldn't be that much worse than the skinny assed incompetent ass clown we have as president now.
Well it's a new day and I wonder how many of our people here and abroad the three amigos Barack Assclown, Joe the Dumber and Hi-LIAR-y Clintclown are going to get killed today??
Did anyone in the intelligence community finally inform Joe Biteme that the "Arab Spring" was NOT a bathsoap made in the Middle East???
It's embarrasing having a Vice President whos I.Q. has a lower number than his neck size!!
Romney is asked all the time about women's issues, especially about his position on abortion and his restrictions on it. I never hear anyone asking Obama about his position on that topic so on the off chance somebody reading this gets a chance to ask him, here it is. "Sir, you and the Democratic Party apparently believe that there should be no restrictions at all on a woman's right to chose an abortion, so I would like to make sure of this. Do you think there should be any restrictions at all on abortion such as forbidding abortion for gender selection? How about allowing late term abortions where the fetus is viable? Should abortions for under age minors be permitted without parental notification? Thank you for clearing this up". So if anyone reading this has a chance to ask this question of the president please do so.
