I do not trust pundits and media, so I went back to the issues raised by the first debate and found that Mr. Romney changed positions to suit the audience he was facing. Please recall that when fighting for the Republican nomination he clearly stated hard right positions on almost every issue.

When challenged by President Obama in the first debate, he simply lied to America and rescinded many of those planks of the Republican platform. Later, after the debate was over, his political handlers went to the press and "clarified" those points back to the Republican line.

I guess it easy to fool Americans when you can simply LIE to them in a debate.

Oh, and Kudos to Candy Crowley for fact checking. More journalists should do that, more often.

Mr. Romney, in the words of my grandmother, "Lies like a rug."

And do not get me started on "Lyin' Ryan". The Republicans lie to get elected, to any office, and once in government, they impede progress so they can then say that government is broken.

Remember, Americans, the "Beast" they want to starve is named America.

Symptoms include but are not limited to; inability to pick a story & stick with it

I think we can honestly say, in the unlikely event Romney is selected by SCOTUS as the next President, he will keep Congress very busy. Day one, repeal Lily Ledbetter equal pay act. Day 4, implement an equal pay act. Day 7, repeal equal pay act. Day 11, implement an equal pay act ...

Remember, Americans, the "Beast" they want to starve is named America.

And the "Beast" they want to feed are their Cayman Island bank accounts.

bob - I've noticed that the radical righties on this site are consumed with the idea of "leg humpers." I guess it is because you guys have so much history as such that you wrongly accuse others of your actions.

I love "Romnesia"----it explains the flip flopping and also the memory lapses by Mitt. Apparently it also causes extreme rude behavior in the sufferer and even his family.

Mitt's health care plan wouldn't even cover it as he excludes pre-existing conditions.

Feisty--you are right that President Obama is the perfect cure for Romnesia.

Feisty, don't forget symptons also include trying to invent new definitions for the phrase "act of terror."

Symptoms include showing two faces with no spine. Pull his string and he says something different every time.

Romnesia will end up haunting Romney. Especially if he is elected. I think the details of his 5 point plan are a great example of vaporware as a result of chronic Romnesia.

Two huge lies by Romney in the last debate dealt with the deficit and federal spending levels... The first lie was that Obama has doubled the deficit. The truth is that when Bush left office in 2008, the national deficit for that year was 1.5 trillion dollars. This year the deficit is about 1.3 trillion dollars estimated. Far from doubling the annual deficit, it has actually slightly declined since Bush’s last year in office. Only using Romney math is 1.5 twice as large as 1.3.

Of course the other way to look at the deficit is the total national deficit. When Obama took office the total National Debt was $10,699,804,864,612. Most of that debt had been racked up during the Reagan and the 2 Bush Administrations with the only surplus occurring under Clinton. During the Obama Administration the national Debt has risen to $15,856,367,214,324. In large part because of down revenues from the Great Recession and increased government spending related to the 2 GW Bush tax cuts, two wars started by Bush, and the need to keep the economy from sliding into another Great Depression as it did under Herbert Hoover in the 1930s. All of these things came to being under the Bush/Cheney Administration. For republicans to attempt to sweep their responsibility under the rug and blame it all on Obama is the height of irresponsibility and hypocrisy! Even if you do blame it all on Obama, as every republican I know is want to do, 5.2 trillion is less than half, not double, 10.7 trillion dollars. Again, only using Romney math is 5.2 trillion double 10.7 trillion. More importantly is the fact that deficit trends have been trending lower each year under Obama, while they trended higher, much higher, the final year of the Bush Administration. Take a close look at the attached table.

http://www.skymachines.com/US-National-Debt-Per-Capita-Percent-of-GDP-and-by-Presidental-Term.htm

The second Romney lie claims that federal spending has doubled under Obama. The truth is federal spending increases have been far lower (as well as total number of public employees) under Obama than under GW Bush. Federal spending increases were far higher under Reagan, both Bushes and Clinton than under Obama according to both the OMB and CBO. For Romney to insist otherwise has no basis in fact, and show that he is willing to use any distortion, even outright lies, to achieve his goal of returning supply-side trickle down to rule in Washington D.C.

Good points Repubs. Obama should just stick to what Romney's camp says of Romney... what was that again... Oh yeah, ETCH-A-SKETCH!

Drill Baby Drill-3459380How about what Obama is doing in the UN that will allow the UN to tax ALL internet use?

actually the Admin is arguing against it.

the best cure for Romnesia is Chocolate for all - boost memory and stamina - Yes We Can.

Oh Snap!

I forgot one more symptom on Romnesia; Sprinkler neck!

Chink to the left... chink to the center... then chink to the right! lol

congressmen wrote. "For this administration to assume that terrorists were not involved in the 9/11 anniversary attack would have required a willing suspension of disbelief."

What part of the phrase "act of terror" does this congressman not understand?

Barry wants to talk about ANYTHING but his dismal record of failures.

Nobama 2012 Really, Things Could Be Worse-

Yes Joey, like our President said it is"Romnesia" !!!! HaHa

Romney has been pointing to “six studies” that he claims show that his tax plan work. However, those “studies” (which are mostly blog posts and op-eds) show no such thing.

So now the Romney campaign is touting a (2006) study from the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation that he claims vindicates his approach, telling Roll Call the study shows “how a ‘Romney-style tax plan’ could bolster growth.

Here is what the study says:

Repeal home mortgage interest deduction

Repeal child tax credit

Repeal charitable contributions

Repeal healthcare deductions

Repeal deductions for state and local taxes

Repeal all personal credits (except the EITC)

Repeal all personal exemptions

Repeal all other itemized deductions

Redistribute tax liability from top 1% to middle class

Well somebody is going to have to pay for MYTH'S massive tax cuts for the rich.

Hey, drill baby drill.

Your assertion that Obama wants to allow the UN to tax/regulate the internet is wrong. I looked it up. Maybe you should, too.

From Dick Morris's mouth to your brain...

Romnesia - it's not prettey..it's Romney...

.

why does Mitt want to be president? what is there to prove in his life - he got all the money in the world (R-money), he got so many sons, he pays less taxes, he has swiss bank accounts.... most importantly, he has all the women that binders can hold.

.

and after all, he needs a lot of time to find cures for Romnesia - even more time off than Bush's 9-year vacation during his 8 years in office.

If Romney, otherwise known as the Man of Many Positions depending who he is talking to is elected, what law is there to ensure that he doesn't immediately revert to his earlier positions either?

No such law exists.

So why take that chance, when the President is a known commodity proven time and again to stand on the side of middle-class economic strength and a concept of fairness for all?

SailorGirl - they would have to actually locate a brain for drill baby drill. Ain't gonna happen!

Obama/Biden 2012

The tax policy center released a new study on Romney's tax plan.

The tax cuts will cost $5 trillion.

If we remove deductions from EVERYONE (not upper class, but EVERYONE), that will only cover $1.3 trillion of the cost.

An additional $3.7 trillion will be needed to be taken from the middle class, to pay for it.

That means that Romney will pay LESS taxes, but middle class will have to pay MORE to pay for it.

This is simple math. I am a middle class homeowner and I can not afford to pay more taxes and lose my mortgage deduction.

Again . . . the ONLY way to pay for Romney's plan is to take away middle class deductions AND tax the middle class more.

Read the tax policy center report yourself. It is simple math. Can you afford to pay more taxes and lose your mortgage deduction? This is the single reason I can not vote for Romney.

Tagg Romney's Company Misled Reporters About Its Relationship With Ponzi Scheme–Linked Firm

Lee Fang on October 12, 2012 - 8:10 PM ET

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.

In a nutshell, Tagg helped these investors form a company—called Solamere Advisors, a nod to Tagg’s firm Solamere Capital—shortly after their boss, Allen Stanford, was caught by law enforcement for his elaborate Ponzi fraud.

When I interviewed him in Las Vegas, Tagg told me that his associates were “cleared” of any wrongdoing associated with the Stanford Ponzi scheme. Court documents directly contradict Tagg and show that the lawsuit has not been dismissed.

The New York Times followed up on my story with its own report and confirmed that Tagg’s business partners received incentive pay for selling bunk Stanford CDs. They wrote about one Stanford victim, a local Charlotte businessman and philanthropist named Herman Stone. Stone was pressured by Brandon Phillips, an executive working now for Tagg’s firm, into putting $2 million into a fraudulent Stanford CD and lost everything.

Solamere Capital attempted to distance itself from the story by claiming that their business was not actually connected to the Ponzi-tainted firm, Solamere Advisors. In a statement to ABC News, they claimed that their managers, not Solamere Capital itself, were involved (emphasis added):

“It is inaccurate to suggest that Solamere Capital made an investment in this firm [Solamere Advisors]. Solamere Capital was approached to invest in a new wealth management firm being launched by these three individuals. After extensive due diligence, Solamere Capital decided not to invest because the business was at an early stage and did not meet our investment criteria. However, Spencer Zwick, Tagg Romney and Eric Scheuermann each own a minority stake in the business as individual investors.”

However, Solamere Capital’s statement, provided to ABC News, is false. Disclosures from the Securities and Exchange Commission show that Tagg’s company indeed maintains ties with the Ponzi-linked firm, Solamere Advisors.

The claim that Solamere Group didn’t invest directly in Solamere Advisors, the firm employing former Stanford employees, appears to have been an attempt to shield Mitt Romney. Mitt invested about $10 million into Tagg’s Solamere Capital venture, which would suggest Mitt has a direct financial relationship with folks involved in a Ponzi scheme. That’s because Solamere Capital pools together investment money to co-invest in other companies.

Dangit, this is a perfect example of what the Obama campaign's been doing for the last few months. They think up some zinger or other that gets a good laugh, but they don't think it through. The ONLY story that Romney's gotten any traction with in recent weeks is the Libya thing. And now Obama comes out with a quip about inconsistency? Is he trying to set his head on a tee for Romney's baseball bat?

Protip for the speechwriter: when your candidate is being attacked for being inconsistent, DON'T give inconsistency a snarky name that can be turned back against him! Jeez.

I like that....Mitt the Twit Robme

(j/k .... kinda almost)

The theme for the Republican convention was "We Built That" - a phrase taken out of context from President Obama's speech.

Republicans derisively refer to the Affordable Care Act as "Obamacare".

Funny how the same group of people complain about President Obama using the phrase "Romnesia".

Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!

Yep, that "Obama~Deflectnesia" is really working well.

Oh yeah, what did Mr. Obama say during the 2008 campaign ? Something like "target" the small stuff and then "attack" the opponent with anything, straight out of the Alinsky playbook:

"An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent."

Rule 13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it." Saul Alinsky.

Romnesia! That's funny! Perhaps Obama can find work as a stand up comedian for his next profession.

The truth is Romney is a liar and has proven that on video too many times to even count. When a candidate lies as much as he does it is no longer just a matter of telling the truth - it is CHEATING.

Yes, his lies are so comprehensive and pervasive that it is just another form of cheating. They cheat low-information voters by pretending to support their interests when clearly they don't.

Just like the voter registrations fraud, the voter suppression, the voter intimidation, the stealing of elections, the threatening of employees, the exploitation of voter's religion, and the corruption that infects the TeaPublican party the lies are part of the strategy to CHEAT to win.

Republicans are disgusting and so completely corrupt that they must be purged from the political process. We need a new party that can play by the rules. This is America, not some banana republic... although our country under Republicans is starting to feel like one... at least where Republicans are in power.

Obama is a liar as well. He said he would cut the deficit in half in 3 years.

Feisty - Don't forget about Romney's failure as a military leader which can be traced through his fathers delusions when called upon.

George Romney said that the U.S. Government was trying to "brainwash" him into serving in the military.

Mitt Romney along the same line runs to France to avoid serving Vietnam.

Supporters of Romney are heiling his presidency as the President of Peace that will flow over the world like water and all will be fine.

Not even wrong.

Such weakness will be used by the enemy to further the goal of Osama Bin Laden creating a Bin Laden Empire throughout the Middle East.

Remember Bin Ladens number two is still alive and very much in control of Bin Laden's forces.

Ryan & Romney's LIE BOOK it's on the shelf right next to the Binder of Women"

I'm glad Barry have a good sense of humor, he is going to need it after the elections day . His lead over Romney is melting, his campaign is in desperation mode. Obama care more about the big bird, Romnesia than the Ambassador killed in Benghazi. It will cost his reelection.

It is a shame that a woman has to blame herself because Obama do not take responsability for his failure. Good luck.

LOOK! this is very "SERIOUS STUFF".

We all Love Billy Graham and his Christian Evangelical Organization.

And as a Main-stream Evangelical Christian Organization, Billy Graham had

MORMONISM listed as the CULT it is, and Rightfully so!

but do you know that all it took was ONE phone call from MITT ROMNEY

and the Billy Graham Organization felt INDIMIDATED enough that they

REMOVED from their WEBSITE the FACT that

MORMONISM is a CULT.

Is that weird to you?

HYPOCRISY at Best.

INDIMIDATION at Worst.

NOW I get why Obama's been spending so much time with Letterman and Colbert...he's tapping their brains for material. How about he get back to D.C. and do the job we're paying him to do. When did they put late night sidekick in the job description? After January the "Joe & BO Show" in D.C. will be cancelled, so maybe he's auditioning to be Letterman's permanent second banana. Joe can be the loud laugher planted in the audience.

SailorGirlSoCal....."Your assertion that Obama wants to allow the UN to tax/regulate the internet is wrong. I looked it up. Maybe you should, too. From Dick Morris's mouth to your brain."

Mr. Obama is just waiting for the "Lame Duck Session" to kick it and then he will use the Senate to ratify all the United Nations "treaties" Ambassador Rice will vote YEA on. He will not have to direct his Progressive Cabinet members to issue new "regulations" nor have the legislation go through Congressional Proceedings ("Man on Five" Chicago politics). And one of those treaties will be a TAX on Internet usage:

The United Nations is considering a new Internet tax targeting the largest Web content providers, including Google, Facebook, Apple, and Netflix, that could cripple their ability to reach users in developing nations.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57449375-83/u.n-could-tax-u.s.-based-web-sites-leaked-docs-show/

Other treaties:

• Law of the Sea Treaty
• Financial Transactions Treaty
• Small Arms Treaty

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to find things on the web, however it becomes a big problem for Progressives to search for, and admit to, the truth.

AT least Obama has a new possible career after November 6--he can go on the comedy tour! He can get an audience full of Joe Bidens and he will have them laughing. Too bad neither one of them know how serious the situation is, but Americans know!

Obamneisa!

Symptoms include but are not limited to; inability to pick a story & stick with it - lying through your teeth, with a @!$%# eating grin on your face - severe muscle spasms from all the flip-flopping & walking around like you have a stick up your ass!

@Blue4u - good post. The nut doesn't drop too far from the tree in the Romney forest.

During the last debate, Romney alluded that single parent households caused failure in life (sitting across from the President of the United States ... who came from a single parent household.)

Romney also indicated that it was bad parenting that caused kids to be aggressive and created the crime problems we see in the younger set. Then his son, after the debate, said he wanted to punch the president ... a sign of bad parenting, perhaps?

Obama / Biden 2012

CoRavensFan

There is a lot of difference between out and out lying as Romney does, and saying something with every intention of doing it as Obama did but then Bush's Great Recession hits making it almost impossible, then the teabagger republicans block the jobs bill and everything else and REALLY makes it impossible.

CoRavensFan,

You are funny. Now we have to explain the definition of LIE (you could look it up). Obama didn't lie, he just didn't meet his goal and who do we have to blame, some goes to Obama but most goes to ... you guessed it ............. the GNOP.

(hope that's not to complicated)

Gee, isn't Obama clever? One of his minions gave him a catchphrase and the media laps it up. Too bad the left isn't interested in fixing the economy and creating an environment that will create private sector jobs. Fortunately, most Americans see Obama and his policies for what they are. If they were great then they'd be touting them. Instead, all they have is talking about everything else but what Obama's policies have done to this country. Heck, NBC seems to think that the only news is the the news they create, as in creating phony polls that show Obama leading and then touting that as if it were news. You have to go on other websites to find out what is really going on in the country and the world. But, this site is good for 2 things. One, to find out what die-hard libs are saying. And two, it's the most user friendly comments board on the internet.

So what has BHO offered for the next 4 years. Just the same old BS. Our president has failed, run the flag up side down in distress. Don't make the same mistake again. Vote for Romney, he will make America #1 again.

Romnesia

There goes good old Barry trying to be cute again. It's somewhat amazing that this act of his once worked to some degree, but that was long ago. Pathetic.

bob,

"The best Obama can do now is to reduce himself to Feisty's level with childish, inane, litle quips?"

You guys would defend Romney even if he told you he was the offspring of hell and provided you with his pitchfork to prove it. You blast Obama's supporters for being fanatical while failing to recognize that you are their mirror image. You may be suffering from Romnesia yourself.

Joe in Albany

"Big Bird"

-Of course that's what Obama's going to talk about, because that's the only budget cut that Romney has offered. As soon as he puts something else on the table - anything else - that will be talked about as well.

"Binders full of women"

-The phrase is Romney's, not Obama's, and frankly too good and strange to pass up.

"Romnesia"

-Kind of rolls off the tongue doesn't it? Plus, it's one of those words that encapsulates it all - pithy, pungent and perfect for the occasion.

Barry wants to talk about ANYTHING but his dismal record of failures.

-He's been talking about his accomplishments for some time now: rescuing an economy in free fall, salvaging the auto industry, building a solid foundation for job growth, pulling the reins in on Wall Street, ending one war and winding down another, decimating Al Quida and much more.

His singular failure is in not convincing voters that a Democratic Congress (or at least a responsible Republican Congress) is necessary to progress. Still working on that.

Reading of the Libyan coverup it dawned on me that someone must know what happened, detail by detail. That is, unless you know the details how can you accuse others of covering something up.

So.... Please.... Somebody provide the details of exactly what happened... not hear say, second handed and politically skewed details but objectively garnered details from first hand witnesses.

Or, I can wait until the process works itself through and a well documented and vetted assessment is available.

OBAMAMETER-You should get a copy of todays "nation". It appears Romney profited 15.4 million from the auto bailout he did not support. Your hate has blinded you to reality. Romney will sell you out the day he is elected.

thetotas

Document dump today giving more detail on Libya. Ambassador Stevens was asking for help the day he died.

Really???

If that is your hang up, how about those actual lies Bush told about WMDs? How long did it take for GW Bush to respond to Clinton warning about bin Laden attack? That"d be none.

New documents uncovered by investigative journalist Kurt Eichenwald show that despite repeated, urgent warnings from intelligence officials about an impending Al Qaeda attack, Bush did nothing because his neoconservative advisers told him that the threats were merely a “ruse” and a distraction.

http://www.nationalmemo.com/he-kept-us-safe-bush-ignored-repeated-warnings-of-terrorist-attack/

This is further evidence that the word “news” has no business being associated with anything FUX NOOSE does.

Our President has kept "US" safe. He just apprehended another potential strike by Afghanistan youth who planned to bomb Federal Reserve.

that's awsome!

"Romnesia" A mental condition suffered by Obama supporters that WANT to forget all of Obamas failures which they keep being reminded of by the next President of the United States, Mitt Romney! The truth causes them to lose touch with their delusions resulting in their reverting to infantile taunting and shouts of ugh-ugh in shrill pre-adolescent voices

How sad that a sitting president is so desperate that he has to stoop to grade school level playground name-calling to get his sycophants to listen to him

It is scary that the guy who is supposed to be the President of the United States wastes the taxpayers precious time and money to spew this idiotic,moronic monologue, to keep his base of brilliant voters fired up. If any of you liberals have any idea what is going on in this country, under your illustrious leader, you should be scared to death that he might actually get re-elected. I know that is asking a lot, but I'm always hoping that there might be a couple of you that actually think past the malarky he has been feeding you.

Tagg Romney is now officially in the same category as the guy who threw his shoe at Bush.

Mitt should be so proud!

Reading of the Libyan coverup

it took 3 years to find out that Bush's promised WMD in Iraq didn't exist.

It took 9 years and a different Administration to get the bastard who killed 300 Americans on 9/11

so considering the length of time of the mentioned events, shouldn't you be more patient when it come to this one?

Bev,

"If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things".

You mean like Romnesia?

campdog,

Would you take Ambassors Stevens own words?

Obama has a very good economic record.

Our growth rate is 10% higher than when he took office. Our economy is creating jobs at 900,000 better than when Obama took office. The auto industry avoided collapse and is now profitable and expanding. The banks have returned to profit. The stock market has doubled from its March 2009 low. The housing market is seeing price increases which have increased homeowner equity and wealth. The housing industry is expanding, last month at a 17% better rate than the year before. Unemployment is down and workers at retirement age can now retire feeling their 401K 's have recovered their value and their homes can be sold if they desire to relocate to an area in which they would like to live in retirement. Consumer debt is down and consumer spending is up. We still have a ways to go, but the economy has not been stronger since 2007 (and even then their were warning signs of economic peril ahead).

Our economy would be even better if the Republicans had passed the infrastructure and job bill stimulus measures Obama proposed.

But, Republicans wanted Obama to fail even if it hurt America's recovery. A list of those plotters includes Paul Ryan and Newt Gingrich among other leading Republicans. These Republicans placed their bets against Obama and our economic recovery from the worst financial crisis since the great Depression.

Many Republicans choose not to remember how bad 2008 was. John McCain wanted to suspend the campaigns for President and cancel a debate to deal with the crisis. Bush bailed out the banks to a tune of $700 billion and this measure was essential to save the financial system from collapse. Some Republicans voted for it, but many did not because they were concerned about budget deficits even though they had voted for two tax cuts, an unfunded prescription drug plan and two unfunded wars.

Economic insanity was prevalent in the Republican Party in 2008. It has only gotten worse since with the election of all those tea Party types who think you can cut your way to economic growth. You can't.

In Europe, the Germans have forced austerity on countries with high debt loads. Unemployment rates in Spain and Greece approach 25% and government tax revenues only get worse cancelling out the savings from the budget cuts.

Those who want to blame Obama for our slow recovery do so for political advantage. Romney has no legitimate plan to speed our recovery. And Obama tried to speed it up last year. Now, it may speed up on its own. Retail sales in the 4th quarter of this year will be way up as will hiring. Most large businesses have the cash to expand and they need to because they have run out of things to cut in their quest for greater profits. We have the workers raring to go. Consumer confidence is up.

We are poised for higher growth with Obama's plan and the revenue growth from higher growth and the reduced costs of unemployment will cut our budget deficit in half. That is the track we are on. Tougher cuts in government spending can be made after unemployment declines so economic growth is not hurt.

OBAMA 2012......for a fairer, better America

In MA, the state where Romney was governor, the Romney/Ryan ticket is behind by 20 points. In MI where his father was governor, the Romney/Ryan ticket is down by 5 points. In Wisconsin, Ryan's home state, the Romney/Ryan ticket is down by 4 points. It seems the people who know these two the best don't want them in office.

... Romnesia

thetotus,

You are spot on when you refer to not having a record of accomplishments to run on. What has this administration have that they can run on? Obamacare, that he spent so much of his first year ramroding through his House and Senate, controlled by Democrats? Had a hard time there passing his stuff, and had to have those closed door meetings with his own party to Stuff-the-Bucket with pork that he said he would put a stop to.

The country needed jobs, but he needed his signature health package.

But Barry is excellent when it comes to funding stuff for his contributors in the solar industry. Or the unions in the car industry. How many $B's are still owned to the taxpayers?

Yes liberals, old things, but needing answers. Such as answers on Libya and the unreported attacks on our Embassy in Tunisia. The second another 911 thingy, or just another movie crisis.

Oh well, if you have not achievements Barry, attack and divert. Blame it on someone but yourself. The Progressive way.

Maybe Obama should change jobs and become a comedian. He would have to be better at that than President.

bob: hasn't that sentiment been expressed here post after post after post by the Obama leg humpers?

Ya know, Bob -- wha the rest of us CAN'T get answered is this question: why does the Right Wing completely abandon their so-called values for any candidate that comes along?

4 Years ago, the Right made Mormonism the Laughingstock Cult of the right wing, in order to hand the primary to McCain. Now, today, Mitt and his Magic Underwear Cult is the savior of the right wing, and suddenly Billy Graham takes any references to Mormon=Cult off of his websites.

So, what happened? Suddenly, your VALUES aren't your values anymore? Suddenly, the whackadoo Magic Underwear Cult of Mormonism where women are second class at best (but only on a really good day) is totally fine with you guys -- when 4 years ago, it was the laughingstock of your political party?

the right-wing is nothing but lowlife sell-outs, your crap on your own values for a dime. Did you people ever have any consistent values?

"Here is what I will say -- if four Americans get killed, it is not optimal. And we are going to fix it."

"And what happens during the course of a presidency, you know, the government is a big operation -- at any given time, something screws up and you make sure you find out what's broken and you fix it."

"we weren't confused about the fact that four Americans had been killed. I wasn't confused about the fact that we needed to ramp up diplomatic security around the world right after it happened."

"I wasn't confused about the fact that we were going to hunt down whoever did it and bring them to justice. So, as I said during the debate, nobody is more interested in figuring this out than I am."

All are Barack Obama words..... brave Americans DIED & Mr Obama thinks they were "not optimal"

Goodbye Barry.... take your wife & kids back to Chicago.............

Romnesia causes you to spew chit from your mouth uncontrollably.

Obviously Taggie suffers from it and I would say based on the comments made by pukes on this board a majority of the puke lovers suffer from it too!

Fiesty, nice try. It may have worked had your boss not lost all credibility with the American people when he now says that he called it a terrorist attack in the Rose Garden on 9/12, when everything he and the administration said for 2 weeks after that is that it was in response to a youtube video. Then, boss #2 explained during the VP debate that the administration had been blaming it on a youtube video the whole time because it was "faulty intelligence". How do you admit that you had the story wrong to then turn around and claim that you had the story right, but chose to lie for the next two weeks? It seems to me that there is a lot of "faulty intelligence" at the top of the current administration.

Shaak, what country do you live in to come up with some BS like that???

• Poor Feisty......in 18 short days you are going to be just another binder; I wonder how often you will get TV time when you are just another (what word did you use for the Governor last night?)
• Yeah....that one.....good luck with that.

I am 68 years old. I have never see an election in my life that has such hateful lies. The narrow minds..... The lack of knowledge of the tax structure.

All I can say is if Romney is elected and is able to push through his tax plan...... The US will go down over the cliff.........VERY SIMPLE...

By taking away tax on interest income, dividend income, capital gain income and the estate tax.... where do you think revenue would have to come from -- everyone that has to work hard for a living. This tax decrease only benefits those that have the capital wealth to keep reinvesting. But that does not mean reinvesting in small business that create jobs that means reinvesting in the finance industry to make more money that is not taxed. That means Romney will pay 0% tax and I will still pay my 24%. But it seems that no one understands that. If you can reply with facts or a different way to look at it..... I have an open mind. But I have been in the tax and finance industry for 40 years... I prepared tax returns when the rate was 52% to 75%. Do not tell me the tax will come from increased jobs.... that even supports my point of who will pay the tax.

There Were Multiple Teams Of Armed Guards At Libyan Consulate

WSJ: Consulate Security Included "A Four-Man Team Of Armed Guards Protecting The Perimeter" And "Five Armed State Department Diplomatic Security Officers." A September 21 Wall Street Journal article reported that security at the Libyan consulate included "a four-man team of armed guards protecting the perimeter and four unarmed Libyan guards inside to screen visitors." The Journal also noted: "Besides the four armed Libyans outside, five armed State Department diplomatic security officers were at the consulate." [The Wall Street Journal, 9/21/12]

WSJ: Prior To Attacks, "Embassy Personnel Conducted A Security Review." The same Wall Street Journal article reported that a security review was conducted right before the attacks on the consulate:

You are familiar with imitation being the sincerest form of flattery... yes?

Maybe Obama should change jobs and become a comedian. He would have to be better at that than President

Perchange do you think that may be his agenda? And it keeps him in the limelight for his adoring fans.

But seriously liberals, why no discussion on the Embessay in Tunisia? How about some breaking news MSNBCFR? Why F. Chuck Todd, you can have a breaking piece with it.......

No government statements on this Mr. President? Or from Mz. Secretary of State?

George Washington: I cannot tell a lie.

Richard Nixon: I cannot tell the truth.

Mitt Romney: I’m not familiar precisely with exactly what I said, but I stand by what I said. Whatever it was.

shaak323...

You betcha! our economy is really humming right along, for starters...

Last months jobless rate dropped 3 tenths of a % based on adding, what was it again? around 120k jobs? What was that shaak? that amount is barely above the number of jobs we need to keep up with our population growth, right. Seems that all those long term UE folks just dropped off of the labor dept rolls.

Yepper, let's not forget about our economic growth in the areas of food stamps and poverty levels.

Seems that obama wants to deflect all he can from his 2008 slogan "hope and change" by refusing to define his plans for an economic recovery. It was so very droll of mr obama to tell us he was willing to cut spending on programs that he held so dear to his heart, but then didn't specify which ones. Then he spouted of on how increasing the taxes on the top 2% would fix the economy, solve medicare shortfalls, reduce our national debt, increase educational spending, fund obamacare, etc, etc and etc.

Even little joe biden shouild have found something wrong with obamas math... imagine an added trillion $ over 10 years will fix everything according to obama and company. Of course both obama and biden think that a stronger economic recovery is just a laugh away and a bunch of malarky.

Romney had it right, our country needs economic growth, not more regs on small businesses. The wealthy can afford a cut in their discretionary income, but main street can't.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to find things on the web, however it becomes a big problem for Progressives to search for, and admit to, the truth.

Ido, the following bold-type text (bold is mine) is from your own link. Perhaps you should have read it. Since you can't be bothered to search for the truth in your own links, I doubt you'll admit to the fact that the US is not going to sign on to taxation of the internet. The truth is below.

The U.S. delegation to the Dubai summit, which will be headed by Terry Kramer, currently an entrepreneur-in-residence at the Harvard Business School, is certain to fight proposals for new Internet taxes and others that could curb free speech or privacy online.

By the way, the UN has no authority to levy taxes.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47623432/ns/technology_and_science-wireless/t/congress-consider-giving-more-control-internet-un/#.UHb4k8XA_Zc

"This is one of those circumstances where I think it's fair to say there's absolute unanimity. I don't believe you'd find any dissent at all to the view that we would like to keep the Internet free of inter-governmental controls," said a State Department official, who was not authorized to speak on-the-record about the discussions.

http://www.state.gov/e/eb/rls/rm/2010/168622.htm

The United States consistently has opposed the extension of intergovernmental
controls over the Internet. Remitting it to intergovernmental control—whether
the ITU or otherwise—would produce two very bad outcomes in our view. First, it
inevitably would diminish the dynamism of the Internet. For reasons that cannot
be overcome, intergovernmental institutions are notoriously slow in taking
decisions. Second, it just as inevitably would open the way for the introduction
of extraneous considerations, the most noxious of which would be content
controls.

Why would any administration wish to see this happen? This is simultaneously
difficult and easy to see. The easy part: clearly, there are numerous
administrations that see the openness of the Internet as a threat to the
security of their entrenched political regimes, to internal order, and to
traditional culture. They would gladly sacrifice the dynamism and efficiency of
the Internet to these considerations. The harder part: there are administrations
that are troubled by the anomaly that an asset as important to national
wellbeing as the Internet is not subject to national control, or at least some
form of shared control with other nations. In this regard, there also tends to
be an exaggerated sense of the extent to which the United States controls the
Internet. These sovereignty considerations—although more benign that the
alternative inclination to limit the Internet for political purposes—also would
put the dynamism of the Internet at risk.

It is too bad that the Romney that the President's campaign invented is not the Romney that the President end up debating. The President has been spending so much time talking about Romney that he has told us very little about what he is going to do in the next four years. During his first four years the President promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first administration. That did not happen. For the next 4 years the President talked about bringing the troops home in 2014 and with the money saved to start paying back the National Debt but his White House is predicting huge deficits for at least another decade. The President has always wanted to increase taxes on the "rich" but congress has not gone along with the idea and his "reaching across the isle" has not solved the problem. His increased taxes on the rich would net at most 100 billion dollars per year which is not enough to bridge a shortfall of more than a trillion dollars per year. The President's stimulus spending bill did not work as advertised. If it had, unemployment would be less that 6% and not 7.8%. Apparently the President wants to do more of the same. He wants the spend more on education and infrastructure but he does not say where the money is going to come from but one can only assume that we are to just borrow more. I estimate that the money the federal government is borrowing now is going to end up costing the tax payers 10 times the amount borrowed to repay over the next 180 years. It is much better for the tax payers if the states borrow money as opposed to the federal government. Apparently the President wants the federal government to pay 10 times the going rate for goods and services regarding education and infrastructure so that our unemployed will be better educated and have a better transportation system to use to get to those jobs that they do not have. The President as the nations CEO needs to provide to the tax payers a plan for paying back all of this money that the federal government owes. The tax payers have a right to know how much all of this federal borrowing is going to end up costing them. Hope that things change is not going to fix the economy.

American

Poised for economic growth means we are ready to speed ahead. We could have sped up recovery with more infrastructure spending and a jobs bill. Bush had two rounds of stimulus spending for that little recession following the .com bust. Obama's first stimulus ended the recession (-8.5% growth 4th quarter 2008, 800,000 jobs lost per month) and sped growth to 4% when stimulus ran out. That is when economy started to slow in early 2011 and a second round of stimulus would have kept it humming, but Republicans blew up that plan.

Republicans wanted to be able to blame Obama for slow growth. That is why they blocked his second round of stimulus. Republicans did not care about the unemployed. They did not care about growth. They did not care about the people who were suffering. Republicans are to blame for our present slow growth, but our economy is recovering and as I said it is poised to speed ahead.

OBAMA 2012....for a fairer, better America

No worries...

ObamaCare will permanently cure Romnesia!

They call it "end of life counceling".

Beverly in Chicago,

"Obama/Biden 2102"

I share your enthusiasm, but we would have to repeal the term limits on the presidency in order to allow for that long a term, and even then, Obama's chances of living that long are not good. Not good at all! Too bad for that! Obama/Biden 2012.

According to an Obama administration report, unemployment has been a little worse than if the stimulus had never been passed.

@Will Haas: Liar.

How can you possibly bash Mitt Romney (and his father) for not serving in the military? Exactly how many days did Obama serve in the military?

@Will haas:

They call it "end of life counceling".

I like something I call "spelling."

There are two reasons you can never tell what Romney's really saying.

1) He changes his stance for every audience (wide one with the base, narrow in public), and

2) He uses 'weasel words" like "I need a new accountant" instead of answering the question.

Notice what he said about his tax cut. He didn't say that he DOESN'T plan to cut $5 trillion in taxes.

What he SAID was that he doesn't plan to add it to the deficit.

Now, anybody who can do arithmetic knows there aren't enough "loopholes and deductions" to pay for $5 trillion in tax cuts.

So, what Romney is saying is that the REST is coming out of the FEDERAL BUDGET. From food stamps, unemployment benefits, infrastructure funds, Medicaid, education funding, Medicare as we know it for ALL of us, an increase in the Social Security retirement age, elimination of the Centers for Disease Control, FDA, EPA, etc. etc. (Notice how he talks about the STATES providing services. With what money?) In fact, the Tax Policy Institute said that Romney's plan would REDUCE FEDERAL REVENUES BY 24%.

So we should ask ourselves - are we willing to give up all that to give millionaires ANOTHER tax break and hope they "trickle" some of it back? Again?

"4 Americans get kill NOT OPTIMAL". Is this the comment from the President when 4 Americans were killed under his watch?

Any comment from MSNBC? No.

This is the most insulting comment to the Ambassador and the Security personal that was killed , due to the irresponsibility of this administration. This is why Obama is losing, he is worry in stupid things like Romniesia ,the big bird that make 450,000,000 a year , living in welfare and old enough to fly without help. while AlQaeda is growing. Along with him his campaign chief David Axelrod white bitter guy and with Stephani Carter the lier, they all make a good team of losers. Barry, what is your plan for the next 4 years, because if is the same of the past 4 years of failure, Godsaveus.

concernedamerica,

"It may have worked had your boss not lost all credibility with the American people when he now says that he called it a terrorist attack in the Rose Garden on 9/12"

Sorry, concernedamerica, but it looks to me like you are implying that the numerous Obama supporters on this thread are not among the American people. We certainly do not think Obama has lost any credibility.

Seems like the Salt Lake Tribune agrees, Romney's home town paper has endorsed Obama, they say "Too Many Mitt's". If you go to their home page they have sections on Church LDS and Polygamy, not exactly a bastion of liberalism. Ouch that has to sting. In short the editorial states they would have liked to endorse Romney, but....................I'll let you all read it yourselves

http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/opinion/55019844-82/romney-obama-state-president.html.csp

Obama failed to mention that Romnesia is also deadly if you are infected with it! I see after all the talk about voter fraud that the company the republicans hired to register voters has been charged with 100's of cases of fraudulent signatures, addresses etc. and just today a GOP campaign worker was also sighted for voter fraud elsewhere!. I guess if you can't buy and election then try to steal it!

Romnesia indeed! That guy is too old for this job. How is he supposed to remember all of his lies with his short term memory loss. there is no other explanation for all of the lies he tells. 533 documented lies in 30 weeks! Either he can not remember what he just said or he is a pathological liar.
Either way, he is not qualified for public office.

Mitt Romney tells 533 lies in 30 weeks, Steve Benen documents them

Perfect.

A play right out of the GOP play book!!!!

A catch phrase rally cry!!!

But, unlike the GOP BS catch phrases, this one is true.

Maybe Romnesia will help me with Obamanomics... because 5 TRILLION dollars is hard to forget!!

It's time to turn the page on this failed presidency...

The middle class and your children/grandchildren can't afford 4 more of 44!!

The Salt Lake City Tribune is one of Utah's biggest papers, and if Romney cannot hold the site of the Mormon's #1 holy temple, then he is really in trouble.

Romneisia - it is a rare disease, but it is crippling. It caused poor Mitt to forget where his tax returns are. He forgot to keep his money and his boat in the United States! Won't you help? Send your donations to Obama. He's out to defeat this killer!

LOL! I love this guy!

Obama/Biden 2012 - Romney/Ryan 1040

I see that Feisty Redhead is back from her probation. I wonder how long she will last this time. Always the number one post. I don't suppose she ever leaves the house.

It is a shame that our President is so inept that all he can do is demonise the other candidate. It turns out after the fact checking that Obama spent most of the last debate lying.

Just as he has said in the past,"If you can't run on your record, attack the other guy." Paraphrased somewhat but captures the gist of it. Perhaps he suffers from "Romnesia" and doesn't remember what he has said in the past.

There's a term for his term in office. Failed.

I actually find the Romensia amusing. But then I also found most of what Romney said last night at the dinner extremely amusing. Come to think of it I found Biden's war in Iran amusing.

4 dead Americans "Not Optimal"...not so amusing. Flip Flopping (i think that the term used here) on what exactly happened at our consulate, not amusing. An $8 billion program that pays bonuses to Medicare Advantage plans that runs out in 2014 also not amusing.

White Collar Auto Comment collapsed by the community

It's really sad to think that somebody in the Obama campaign is paid , probably a lot of money, to come up with drivel like this.

====================================

Right, completely unlike people like you and other wingnuts making reference to Obummer, Obamanation, Odumbo, Hussein, etc., yeah, right, oh you whiny weiner poor widdle wingnuts being picked on by big bad Obama supporters. What a bunch of dipstick hypocrites you are, dish it out, but can't take it. You should change your signon name to ring-around-the-collar auto.

WCA: Next thing you know Obama will call Romney "Rob-Me".

.....Well, if the shoe fits.....actually, thanks for the idea, the shoe does fit!!!!!!!

We now know that the reason why the last report with jobless figures showed a "decrease" is because the figures for the State of California were "inadvertently" kept out of the report. What a story! I wonder how many Americans know about it.

When the incorrect jobless figures came out last week, NBC News kept that story on the main page for several days. The more important story, that an "error" made those figures completely worthless, where is it? The last time I checked, it was buried under "Economy Watch" under the misleading headline "Jobless claims take big jump in latest week". The big issue of why this week's figures "take a big jump" over the previous weeks was sadly buried and sanitized as a mere “issue of timing”.

The truth behind the inaccuracy of last week’s figures is not so much the issue, because regardless of what a “report” may state, Americans know in their gut that things are just not “better” than they were four years ago. What is important is the shameless manipulation of data for political purposes by the Obama administration in a way that Americans have never encountered before. Americans find it hard to believe that their government would manipulate data as shamelessly as the Obama administration, so they find it hard to believe that such "accidents" are anything other than "accidental." They would believe it about a third-world government, but not about ours.

Listen closely to Obama & Biden. They are not talking AT ALL on their plan for America in the next four years. What is their plan for Medicare? What is their plan for job growth? What is their plan in trying to stop the growth of Islamist extremists in the ME, extremists I might add who became stronger under Obama.

Obama & Biden are too busy trying to find ways to make fun of the other party.

Has Jon Stewart made a statement on Obama's "not optimal" mention?

A portion of the American people can't be stupid enough to vote for these clowns.

"Wil Royson",

They're getting better, how? Based on last week's misleading figures "accidentally" lacking California? You're being misled (to put it kindly) you're not even thinking, and you're attempting to discourage other Americans from thinking. Just keep on repeating distortions and hope that enough Americans don't find out the truth until after the election, that's the reality to which you subscribe. Do you know why the polls are now showing that Romney is leading nationally?

@Ido /sigh where do I start...

The "Law of the Sea Treaty" does not do much except say that the 200 mile boarder we ALREADY claim is an economic one. That we are responsible for controlling those waters and enforcing any laws. It has only been around since Reagan and we are one of the only major nations left in the world that has not signed it. Please explain to me what is so bad about this and how this threatens the nation?

The "Financial Transactions Treaty" is not a tax on internet usage moron, but a proposed tax on internet sales. Stop listening to Amazon that already gets away without paying any taxes in California due to how anyone can propose bills in that state. Amazon paid people to go out and get the signatures so they could get away without paying taxes. Many states have sales tax and they cannot collect sales tax if the company does not have a store or outlet in that state. Many states are trying to get similar bills passed in this country. What is so bad about making people pay the taxes they are supposed to be paying? Would our debt be so bad if people had been paying their taxes for the last 30 years? NO IT WOULD NOT.

The "Small Arm Treaty" is to stop illegal arms dealers from selling large amounts of guns from nation to nation. Do you illegally sell lots of guns to people that should not have them? How this bad and what is Mitt going to do different? Quick question. How many countries signed the Hague Deceleration or Geneva Conventions? How many of those countries can you buy hollow point bullets in? More RWNJ talking points I take it?

Mitt's plan will make our economy worse. It adds more to our debt and cuts our revenue even more. There is no reason to vote for Mitt if he is going to make our economy EVEN worse. He cannot pay for it even with his "limited bucket" of deductions, which just means middle class people will not be able to take all the benefits/deductions that they qualify for. Once the bucket is full they cannot use any more deductions EVEN IF THEY QUALIFY FOR THEM. HOW IS MITT GOING TO PAY FOR IT ALL? I do not trust politicians as far as I can throw them, TRY AGAIN. How long has it been since we raised taxes on the rich? Why not give that a try since lowering them over and over again does nothing, but to allow the rich to get even richer? Has Obama's policy of raising taxes on the rich been implemented? What effect would that have on our debt? Would it be as high? NO IT WOULD NOT.

I still would prefer an Independent over Obama, but Mitt scares me since he will do whatever Norquist, the Koch Brothers, David Siegel, Rick Scott, etc. tell him to do. He will do and sign whatever they want him to and they are the reason for this economic mess in the first place. They think they are better then everyone else and that they should be treated like royalty since they are so special. They are special alright...they have a case of "money hoarding". Been saying it for 2 years now that they are money addicts, cannot stop themselves, AND GET REWARDED FOR IT... Yet everyone thinks I am kidding about it WTF?

Wil Royson,

"Americans know in their gut that things are just not "better" than they were four years ago"

Well those Americans who know in their gut that things are not better than they were four years ago must have been living as American expatriates on another planet somewhere! Were you living in the United States in late 2008? You must not have been. The economy was tanking, man! The financial sector was in a state of complete collapse. We were having runs on banks at that time because many people were afraid their banks were going to fail, and many banks were either closing permanently or at least having to close their doors temporarily to avoid the panic. We were losing jobs at the rate of 800,000 per month. My God, man! What planet were yo living on in 2008? On a lighter note, how was the scenery on that planet?

AhadHaamSheni

"Wil Royson",

They're getting better, how?

======================

Well, for me, my retirement savings are up 88% since March 2009, 2 months after Obama took over. Unemployment is down, not as much as we'd like ,but down. Housing starts are up, housing inventories are down, and housing prices have increased in my area 4.6% over last year (and yes, I know, it is not the same across the country, but it never was, and never will be). You can talk all the gloom and doom you want to support your ideology, but I, and others like me, don't see it. If you want to be unhappy, go ahead, it's a free country, at least until the GOP/TP takes over total control.

Wil, we have more Americans living in poverty since the 1950s. Good times eh?

calmbeforethestorm

Wil, we have more Americans living in poverty since the 1950s. Good times eh?

===========================

No, not good times, and I never said these were, so don't talk like a jerk by saying something like that as if I said it, I don't like morons putting woprds in my mouth!!!. But today's situation is the result of policies and actions which took place before Obama took over, but people like you refuse to acknowledge that, so quit being disingenious, the Middle Class began losing income, and the Upper Class gaining income, all the way back to the Reagan years, so look there to put the blame.

Mickey, no problem, I understand, actually, these are pretty stressful times, for both sides, wouldn't it be great if we could all take a step back, a deep breath, and just work things out...I know, I know, I'm being a Pollyanna with that statement, too bad. Everybody, have a great day.

If you have spent the past four years calling the President a terrorist, Maxist, maket destroying Socialist, a communist, created death panels, wasn’t born in America, hates the flag and also America, loathes our men and women in uniform, destroys the constitution, or any form of racial slur… PLEASE DON’T LECTURE ME ON DISRESPECT

One of the best quotes I've seen. The people this poster was talking about had Romnesia certainly. But the best cure for this disease is to vote. We vote Nov 6th or early voting.And we will save the country from this disease.

Vote Obama/Biden,the cure for Romnesia.

Thank you, that was the idea......success!!!

you folks crying about the Presidents failed polices crack me up...it's your party that's been holding up progress for America. I see an economy that's recovering,albeit slowly, but recovering. Ya can't change 8 years of bad leadership, like we got from bush, in 4 years. Give the President 4 more and see if the world isn't a better place...if not your candidate will be a shoe-in. Shouldn't change horses in mid-stream...you'll get wet.

Mitt and Ann Romney made at least $15.3 million from the bailout..and a few of Romney's most important Wall Street donors made more than $4 billion. This is an interesting read, link below, talk about hypocrites. Just another reason why Romney does not want you to see his tax returns!

In September, the Obama campaign launched television ads blasting Romney's November 2008 New York Times op-ed, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." But Romney has done a good job of concealing, until now, the fact that he and his wife, Ann, personally gained at least $15.3 million from the bailout—and a few of Romney's most important Wall Street donors made more than $4 billion. Their gains, and the Romneys', were astronomical—more than 3,000 percent on their investment.

Romney's "job creators" did create jobs—in China, where Delphi now produces the parts used by GM and other major automakers here and abroad. Delphi is now incorporated overseas, leaving the company with 5,000 employees in the United States (versus almost 100,000 abroad).

"Sorry, TYPO. My eyes are bad and I'm not a really good typist."

No need to apologize. I just happened to spot that, and actually, I thought it was funny! I just wish Obama's administration could last through 2102, but our lives are all too short for that.

I know Republicans are low information voters (the charitable way of saying stupid).But even so,I don't understand how they can't see that the Libya attack was about several issues at the same time. The Libyan's that saw the attack said the attackers told them it was revenge for the Video.So why is it so hard for the Reputards to understand that a local terrorist group would use a popular issue as an excuse to launch a terrorist act.All this BS about the President getting it wrong is ridiculous.Instead of coming together as Democrats did with Republicans during 9/11. The Republicans have tried to play politics over the tragic deaths of Americans in Libya. In the end,it won't work for them.It's just going to show them to be traitors to our country.

Contrary To Right-Wing Media Claims, Report Confirms Anti-Islam Video Was Catalyst For Libya Attack | Research | Media Matters for America

Wil Royson,

"Everybody, have a great day."

And you, too!

Uncle Bob,

"The Libyan's that saw the attack said the attackers told them it was revenge for the Video.So why is it so hard for the Reputards to understand that a local terrorist group would use a popular issue as an excuse to launch a terrorist act."

It is not that it is hard for Republicans to understand, it's just that they don't want to understand. Why should they when they think they can use the Libya incident as a club to beat Obama over the head with? It's just part of the political game for them, something they think they can use to get their man Romney into the White House.

I think Mitt has a bad case of Romnerhea - oooh, that's painful!

I don't find the death of 4 Americans a game! As Americans, Independents, Republicans, Democrats, we are all entitled to the information as to what happened.

There's video, why cant we all see it? There are memo's and emails, etc., why are we all not entitled to that info? Or is this just an inconvenient time to bring it up? When will it be convenient?

Political game? You may be correct. But not one played by those who think they're entitled to the info.

Herm, Romnesia or O'bamaroids....

Obama is a DISGUSTING TWAT!

Oh, wait...

That was Eva Longoria, NATIONAL CO-CHAIR OF OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN, describing Mitt Romney...

Yeah, that's acceptable, Mr. Campaigner-in-Chief....very "Presidential", NOT... more like your typical Chicago-style bulls***

If you had any BALLS, you'd make that Longoria TWAT resign!

It is Romnesia Kornfed!

Its terminal!

I have been scooting my ass across the carpet for 4 years now. I'll try the Romnesia!

Whoever is on here saying that they aren't better off today then when the bushwhacker left office has Dementia. In my neighborhood homes are selling again, foreclosure rates are down, Unemployment has dropped, but not because of our republican govern, Wacko Walker, who's Economic Development Board has today misplaced $69,000,000 and doesn't know where it went!, my investments and the Stock Market are up almost 50% from their low right after bush left office, two neighbors have gone back to work paying their bills, gas prices have dropped today to $3.47.9 (a drop of 25 cents in a week). What planet are you living on?

Of course the top 1% now own 42% of the wealth which is up 1% as well and is a crime since Romney thinks they need more than 42%.

"Virginia Delegate Barbara Comstock responded to the president’s remarks on behalf of the Romney campaign, saying in a statement: "Women haven’t forgotten how we’ve suffered over the last four years in the Obama economy with higher taxes, higher unemployment, and record levels of poverty. President Obama has failed to put forward a second-term agenda -- and when you don’t have a plan to run on, you stoop to scare tactics."

"With higher taxes" What higher taxes? These right wing nut jobs keep telling lies within their enclosed circles that they start believing their made up stories. Then they come out of their closed cocoons and repeat the lies to the world and are shocked when they're called liars. They then rationalize that the rest of the world is lying because their view has been corroborated, over and over, within their cocoon of delusional, right wing nut jobs.

Back to this brainwashed harpy. The only taxes that Obama has been trying to raise (actually it's not a raise, it's returning to what the taxes were before Bush) is on the wealthiest 2% of the population, those earning more than $250K.

If these people don't get out of their cocoons, their right wing propaganda blogs and out of Fox News, then episodes like the one where Romney was fact-checked by Candy, in front of 65 million viewers, and made to look like a buffoon, will happen more and more.

Very reminiscent of the final days of the Third Reich, where Hitler and his cronies, huddled up in their bunker, kept telling themselves that they were winning the war as the Allies and the Soviets entered Berlin.

Wait a minute!! This Barbara lady is infected! She has Romnesia; but it seems a bit more advanced--it's to the point of Delusional Romnesia Syndrome, or DRS.

Mike del Corpo,

"Political game? You may be correct. But not one played by those who think they're entitled to the info."

Perhaps you are right, but that certainly would not be most Republicans. For them it's just a political tool.

Romnesia? Give us a break already.

I hate to say it, but even liberals deserve better than Obama.

Lets recap Obama's campaign:

"Big Bird"

"Binders"

"Mr Coal"

"Hillary is to blame not me"

"Romnesia"

What a joke.

O'bama should have gone with the Romnesia theme this whole race! I dont see how he can fail now. Who needs a debate on policy! I need an O'bamaceptive!

Be careful folks. With Obummer on the campaign trail there is a definite possibility that you could catch OBAMITIS. It is a condition known to exist in people who have nothing positive in their resume' so they reduce themselves to ridiculing their opponent. Symptoms are mainly manifested by their antics that closely parallel a nine-year-old. Their identifying marks are their brown eyes and the red ring around their necks - they have their heads so far up their leaders @$$ that all they can see is brown and they use his sphincter muscle as a collar.

O'bamostomy!

Let's recap Romney's campaign. I have 5 steps each will create millions of jobs the numbers of which I took the numbers out of thin air. Using our energy 3,000,000 jobs, tax cuts 5,000,000 jobs. Where do they make this up from? Oh yes, Romnesia! I will lower the price of ink and create 1,000,000 new tattoo artists. See I can do it too!

I need an O'bamectomy!

How can you possibly bash Mitt Romney (and his father) for not serving in the military? Exactly how many days did Obama serve in the military?

It's one thing to not serve. Less than 1% of the U.S. population chooses to do so.

It's another thing to champion for a war then run to another country to avoid serving in a war you agreed with.

Do you understand now?

Representative Issa is releasing classified documents during an ongoing investigation, that has National Security implications. President Obama needs to have Attorney General Eric Holder, appoint a special prosecutor and go after Rep. Issa. The only reason Issa is doing this is because he wants a distraction for Romney...he wants the President to be off balance and consumed with the failures of Benghazi, at the same time, feeding Milton Romney classified information to benefit his own campaign. "Issa" wanna see Issa go away and very quickly!

NYMike - I could agree more...thank you. Cuz that's what I've been saying all week. Romney doesn't rate to be Commander in Chief of our Military. I don't want a "war supporting, fraud of a draft dodging coward" sending me to war in Iran. Semper Fidelis.

Kornfed,

Sorry we can't perform an Obaectonomy on you as you have already had your brain removed!

Some comments by you RWNJ's would be funny if you weren't such dumbasses.

Is anyone here qualified to perform an O'bamascopy?

The obama campaign is really embarrassing itself now! What's next... will they toilet paper Romney's house?

Everyday Romney/Ryan looks better and better!

I say it's just a bunch of obamaloney!

KingK

Stop your bitching and be thankful Obama wants to give you a handout. Now go vote.

KingK,

"Handouts?"

Through tax cuts and schemes, Obama's predecessor by trillions of dollars, allowed the elites to raid the U.S. Treasury. Are these the handouts that you are referring to? Through war Halliburton profited by billions. Are these the handouts that you are referring to? Romney's offshore money accounts is nothing less than tax dodging. Are these the handouts that you are talking about? Romney wants to lower the tax rate for corporations. Are these the handouts that you are talking about? At Bain, the workers that Mitt dumped, stood on unemployment lines. Are these the handouts you are talking about?

Mitt is not concerned about the above handouts.

Oddly, Romney is concerned about the "handouts" through Social Security that our senior citizens, the infirmed, the disabled veterans are receiving, the "greedy" 47%!

Obama/Biden 2012!

KingK,

When the rich receive handouts, its called "job creation."

When the majority population receives help, its called "handouts/entitlements."

In terms of "maladies," the above is a condition known as: political blindness.

When Romney's own state doesn't want to vote for him - that should tell you something!!!

.... OBAMAROIDS .... Apply a large dose of Romney / Ryan. Clears up once the putrid rancid lying scumbag piece of garbage leaves the White House ...

Seig Hiel Obama Der Furher

Indie071

Why don't you talk about how Obama has already raised your taxes with Cap and Trade and regulations that cost billions? All these costs are passed on to you!

Starting January 2013 the first Obamacare tax begins. $1,700 per middle class family.

Can't talk about what is???

I really hate this because what most people fail to understand is that our political system is a farce. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are play acting and do this wonderful show for us, but in the end, they serve their true masters, "the corporations!" Have you ever asked, "why hasn't President Obama gotten rid of the tax cuts for the wealthy when he promised to do so if elected?" It's because he is one of the wealthy. But then there is Romney who has already told people when he thought no one was listening that he doesn't care about the poor. People speak the truth when they think no one else can hear them. What's really funny is that most of the people who will vote for him are poor. Guess they want to wait another 30 years hoping for something to trickle down to them. Our government needs to be seriously overthrown by a 3rd party that is REALLY for the people of America and not just full of words and B Freaking S!!!

Romnesia?

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

Woooohooooo, the limp-wristed Libbies came up with a new slogan.

I wonder how many collectivists it took to think this one up. We know it wasn't Barrack Hussein, he can't even come up with a budget for 1,270 days. Maybe it was Debbie Whatsername Slutz.

So, let's see, in the past we've had Sandra Fluks, war on women, Romneys taxes, fraud, outsourceing, Bush, Big Bird and the most recent "binders".

Of course do you hear ANYTHING about Barrack Husseins plan for the future?

Let's see tax the rich, which will do NOTHING to decrease the deficit, let alone the massive debt he keeps accumulating.

We keep hearing about "fair", "fair share", "play by the same rules" and a "level playing field". All nice, cutesy Liberal talking points but no one can define them, let alone decide who can decide what is fair.

No domestic policy, no energy policy, no economic policy, no foreign policy.

Barrack Hussein, the no policy president.

But Libbies can keep coming up with bogeymen like Bush, Big Bird and "binders" better than anyone on the planet.

It must be such a dark and dank place trying to live in the Liberal mind.

TheKhanKubla

Have you ever asked, "why hasn't President Obama gotten rid of the tax cuts for the wealthy when he promised to do so if elected?"

TheKhanKubia,

From the GOP, Obama could not have foresaw the historical political obstruction that he has faced.

What other U.S. president has faced such recalcitrance by the senate and particularly the congress? It is well known that the right vowed to stand in the way of Obama being a successful president. The GOP has been so unyielding about not having taxes raised for the wealthy that the party has held this country hostage. Because of Republican stubbornness, our credit rating was lowered.

If Obama had not agreed to the extension of the tax cuts for the rich, he would not have been successful in passing any legislation, legislation that benefited the middle class and poor.

Under Democrats, the middle class and the poor will be economically, politically and socially far better protected.

How about Obamahoid aka the liberal hemorrhoid? I find it quite amusing that the liar & chief or golfer & chief or vacationer & chief or Mr. No respondsibility & chief or the anointed one aka Barack Hussein Obama finds the time to joke around while the country that he swore to protect, is still in a recession? I bet that he wishes that he had Clintion's issues instead of his....... 4 more yrs = Greece.... 8 yrs of Romney/Ryan = the hope you were wishing for....unless you have an Obummer phone!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/18/brian-terry-fast-and-furious_n_1892271.html

The Obama Administration has abruptly sealed court records containing alarming details of how Mexican drug smugglers murdered a U.S. Border patrol agent with a gun connected to a failed federal experiment that allowed firearms to be smuggled into Mexico.

The now-sealed federal grand jury indictment tells the frightening story of how Terry was gunned down by Mexican drug smugglers patrolling the rugged desert with the intent to “intentionally and forcibly assault” Border Patrol agents.

You can see why the administration wants to keep this information from the public and the media, considering the smugglers were essentially armed by the U.S. government. Truth is, no one will know the reason for the confiscation of public court records in this case because the judge’s decision to seal it was also sealed, according to the news story. That means the public or media won’t have access to any new or old evidence, filings, rulings or arguments.

How can you possibly bash Mitt Romney (and his father) for not serving in the military? Exactly how many days did Obama serve in the military?

Barack Obama was born in 1961. He was forty years old on 9/11... a little bit late to join the military, wouldn't you say? His grandfather served proudly and courageously during WW II.

Obama has been a stellar C-I-C.

Then we have Mitt Romney. He was a Vietnam era draft dodger who supported the war! (surprise, surprise...) He was happy to send other young men his age to die in the jungles of Vietnam in his place while he skipped off to France on his "mission" to convert the French to Mormonism. How did that go, Mitt?

No one in Mitt's family, going all the way back to his great grandfather-- who fled U.S. law to go live in Mexico with his five wives-- has ever served in the U.S. military. Mitt has five sons, none of whom has ever served in the military. How many Americans can say that? How many of us have not a single ancestor who served in any war?

Romney believes in war. He believes in sending other people's children off to fight war. He would never fight, his sons have never fought, and none of his ancestors have ever fought.

Romney is a hypocrite. And please don't give me the 'he had a mission to serve' B.S. Other Mormons have joined the military.

Have you ever had a Mormon missionary at your door? Does anyone besides the Mormons feel that those 'missions' they go on actually benefit anyone? They are out there for one reason: to convert more people to their cult.

So don't give us that excuse Mitt. You are are tough talking bully with the heart of a coward.

obama and his voter base will have to be placed on suicide watch when he loses next month. Desperate people will do desperate things, and when despite their desperation they still fail.....well all I can say is stay away from buildings with more then 1 floor as we may have a repeat of what happened in the early 1900's when the stock market crashed!!!!.

Kaybeetoys.....There doesn't have to be a war to serve in our nations armed forces. Myself I joined 30 days after my 17th birthday when we were about to go at it with Iran back in 1980.

Kaybeetoys.....There doesn't have to be a war to serve in our nations armed forces. Myself I joined 30 days after my 17th birthday when we were about to go at it with Iran back in 1980.

So how does that relate to the military service of Obama vs. Romney? Neither man chose a military career. You can't fault Obama for not joining the military in peacetime when Romney both supported the war of his era yet refused to fight in it.

The Romneys have never served in the miltary, going all the way back.

My ancestors fought in both World Wars, the Civil War, and the Revolutionary War.

Romney is a liar and a coward. Spin that.

Romney is a liar and a coward.

In the autumn of 1969, Clinton entered the draft but received a high number (311) and was never called to serve -- however, Clinton made every effort to avoid the draft prior to entering it.

First, Bill Clinton received education deferments while at Georgetown and Oxford (where he helped organize demonstrations against the war). Second, Clinton attempted to avoid the draft for four years by enrolling, but never joining, the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). Clinton had enrolled in the ROTC hoping to avoid military service for four years, but, wanting a future in politics, had a change of heart and entered the draft.

In December 1969, safe from the draft with his high lottery number, Clinton changed his mind about joining the ROTC program and wrote a letter to the director of the ROTC program thanking him "for saving me from the draft" and regretted misleading him by not revealing the extent of his opposition to the war. The letter was leaked by the Pentagon to ABC news early in the 1992 fueled criticism of candidate Clinton's character.

Later in the 1992 campaign, it became known that Clinton's uncle had attempted to get Bill Clinton a Navy Reserve assignment during the Vietnam war. Clinton said he didn't know anything about it to the press on September 3, 1992 but a day later admitted that a former draft board member had informed him of his uncles' attempt several months before.

Not enough?

How about our current vice president Joe “Bite Me” Biden.

Officials with Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's campaign released Biden's Selective Service records at the request of The Associated Press in 2008.

According to the documents, Biden, received several deferments while he was an undergraduate at the University of Delaware and later as a law student at Syracuse University. A month after undergoing a physical exam in April 1968, Biden received a Selective Service classification of 1-Y, meaning he was available for service only in the event of national emergency.

"As a result of a physical exam on April 5, 1968, Joe Biden was classified 1-Y and disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager," said David Wade, a campaign spokesman.

In "Promises to Keep," a memoir that was published in 2007 and became an instant best-seller after he was tapped as Obama's running mate, Biden NEVER mentions his asthma, recounting an active childhood, work as a lifeguard and playing football in high school.

So, a life threatening ailment that kept him from serving is never mentioned in his OWN MEMOIRS and never prevented him from playing very strenuous sports such as football or being a lifeguard.

I hate to say it but I think this is typical for the delusional Liberal mind.

Maybe Dan Rather can write a book about this.

Clinton and Biden is a liar and a coward.

Spin that hypocrite.

It is confounding to me that any rational American would vote for a guy that refuses to release his taxes, refuses to give ANY details on his tax plan, wants to outlaw abortion, wants to outlaw contraception, wants to take poor people's health insurance, and profits from shipping American jobs to China.

Mitt Romney, the candidate. Job experience: pioneered Gordon Gecko style profiteering from outsourcing American industry and jobs. Religion: cult member and High Priest of the LDS. Foreign affairs experience: none. Political platform: will tell you when elected.

It is almost the definition of insanity to vote for a candidate with Romnesia!

Leave it to the unpatriotic Teabaggers to use an act of terrorism for petty political gain.

Shame on Romney and his army of plutocrats for such treasonous rhetoric. Can you imagine if Democrats had attacked George Bush for years over his bumbling on 9/11?

"I am still astounded how any rational American is more worried about someones tax returns than the state of the economy! 16 TRILLION in debt, 23 MILLION unemployed and you want to see his tax returns?"

While the state of the economy is important, it isn't everything. There are other issues that matter to people as well. Romney's tax returns are important. You don't want a crook in office, do you? The matter of reproductive rights is a personal matter and should not be controlled by the government. You conservatives claim you are for less government, and yet you support passing laws that give the government much more; not less control over people's personal lives. You are always contradicting yourselves. Where is your love of freedom? With you emphasis on the economy to the exclusion of everything else, you remind me of Esau, in the Bible story of Esau and Jacob, who sold his birthright for a bowl of stew.

You don't want a crook in office, do you?

We already have the BIGGEST CROOK there!

The matter of reproductive rights is a personal matter and should not be controlled by the government.

EXACTLY!!!! So why does the DNC think its any of THEIR business??????????????????

Something tells me you wouldn't know the Bible if you tripped over it!

Actually it is Obama that is suffering from Obamanesia. He says things that sound good at the time but but are really just bs that he forgets about. His economic plan for the next 4 years suffers from being mathematically impossible, He promised that the 2012 federal deficit would not exceed 229.27 billion dollars yet, contrary to the President's promise the deficit exceeded 1.1 trillion dollars.

The Obama administration document on the stimulus stated what the stimulus was designed to do. According to that document if the stimulus were passed unemployment would not go above 8%. That did not happen. The Obama administration created and used this document to sell the stimulus spending bill as the solution to the nations unemployment problems. The stimulus did not solve our unemployment problem. According to that official administration document if the stimulus did its job as it was designed then unemployment should now be well below 6%. Furthermore, if the stimulus bill had done its job then the President would not have to propose a second stimulus. The numbers in that document were not presented as speculation, they were presented as specification. This official Obama administration document said what the stimulus was going to do. Clearly what the Obama administration said would happen did not happen.

To me, reelecting the Presdient means 4 more years of the same just hoping that things change. The Presdent's new program to fix the the economy is just more of his same on going program to fix the economy. My biggest concern is all of the debt that has been building up. I estimate that an additional 5 trillion dollars of debt will end up costing the tax payers 50 trillion dollars to repay in 180 years. I agree with the President when he stated:

And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.

Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities. Instead,interest payments are a significant tax on all Americans–a debt tax that Washington doesn’t want to talk about. If Washington were serious about honest tax relief in this country, we would see an effort to reduce our national debt by returning to responsible fiscal policies.

Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.

~ Senator B. H. Obama, March 2006
