Wow, the swing states are really getting tight!
Obama must really be sweating this one, maybe he'll actually do something these next couple of weeks!
Obama will do something, alright...try to spend more billions we dont have, to bribe more voters...
Welfare spending up 32% in 4 years..that gives him a lot of votes.
Like most political news junkies, I have held the undecided voters in contempt, thinking "how can anyone not know who they are voting for, by now?" But, watching the second debate, I was impressed by the quality of their questions. I was surprised there wasn't more coverage of how thoughtful the real voters were, compared to the lame questions the professional moderaters come up with. If you ask me, the real losers in this election are the political media - does anyone think they have done a good job focusing on the issues? Worse than in any other year, I believe. 2012 marks the rise of the citizen-media, if you ask me. The professional pundocracy is plummeting in influence. PS I loathe Mark Halprin.
Unlike the media of the past where there was real competition we see the few remaining mega sources as competing for the up-to the-second reporting. I can't really blame them as Americans have gotten to the point we want it all and we want it now. Most Americans have no patience for anything any more. If one media outlet won't tell one the latest gossip they will get it from another. The problem is that in the attempt to fill this appitite to be up on the latest dirt the media dose a sloppy job of truely reporting what is happening, of knowing all the facts before blabbing what they perceive is going on just for that scoop. There has been questionable journalism in the past. Mark Twain opined that if there is no news one should make up news in order to fill the paper. With a weekly newspaper that may be okay to a point but when news is out ther 24/7,365 it isn't okay but they do it anyway. The competition between the big conglomerated media outlets is fierce. They want those advertising dollars and so they must be first to blab the latest. "You heard it here first, folks" is their mantra. It doesn't matter if it is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth as long as they are first with something. Alas those are the times we live in.

Welfare spending up 32% under Obama...
Bob's primary place is laying about, receiving a government check and abiding by the righteous council of the government bureaucrat, watching Fox and listening to Limbaugh.
Mo, you see Bob doesn't understand what Matthew 25:40 says "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." but Bob who obviously is Christian in name only if he has a religion at all doesn't abide by this. He thinks that everyone who gets money from the government is a leech. Those seniors who receive Social Security that they worked hard for all their lives and contributed to so they could retire with dignity. He doesn't think wounded soldiers should be given any money for their college education or to help their medical treatments. They are also leeches in his mind. Bob seems to think that those folks who have worked and provided for their families until the great recession, caused by deregulation, greed and jobs going off shore, put them in a situation of having to get government assistance to feed their children and provide them with shelter and warmth. They also are leeches in Bob's feeble little mind. Ayn Rand must be a role model for Bob and those who share his opinions.
Bob appears to be someone who, like the kings of feudal Europe, would look down on the peasants from atop their high horse and toss a few crumbs of bread or a hand full of farthings and get great pleasure in watching the peons scramble for them.
Sure, no doubt about it, there are people who are in the welfare system who are playing the system and maybe even scamming it. They are few and far between. Most are there out of necessity not laziness. Since Bob doesn't see the real world but only the one in his mind I don't suppose he will realize the error of his ways until he is there before the Great Spirit and having to account for his life. Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when the least among you needed your help? All you did was look down upon them. Rather than rolling up your sleeves and helping or supporting organizations and government agencies that will get them to a better state you thought of them as leeches trying to take your money from you as thieves in the night might do. Instead of giving a leg up you laughed at their fate and refused to understand or care about them. I am sure Bob comes across as a nice person, and in all other ways probably is but he just has the wrong idea of what is happening in the REAL world.
I guess you better tell Mormon member Harry Reid that as he hasn't gotten the message. Oh darn, you can't... because that's NOT the message. It's good to know the LDS Church has gotten beyond your petty, sexist bigotry and realizes the challenges facing our time.
