a vast right-wing conspiracy...has been going on for some time now:

.

The GOP busters in Congress have filibustered most of Obama's initiatives in the last 2 years, so that Romney can claim there is no agenda by the President. What is the agenda of Vulture/Voucher? End Medicare As We Know It???

.

Why should We The People tolerate this any longer? Kick GOP rascal busters out of Congress, End Romnesia As We Know It.

WHAAA WHAAAA!!!!

Since the circus bagan with the GOP they have attacked President Obama over and over. Mitt Romney now feels "hurt" that the President is telling him that he spreads "Romnesia". They invented the BS: "OBAMACARE"

They are very good at dishing it out, but not very good at receiving!!!!

Hey, Amnesic Romnesia ...

if you have always dished it out...you should also be able to take it...if not...then...you - Mitt - are not presidential...

.

4 more years.

Conservative Victory --

The American people are still waiting for Romney to evolve on the whole truth thing.

Mitt and Anne Romney are an odd couple -

Mitt suffers from Romnesia,

his wife suffer from Annesia?

they don't belong here in America,

off they go and ...

move to Polynesia.

I think Mitt has a point, the facts have been on display for quite a while and they've been talked out. Now we're already being dismissively celebratory in humorous ways (petty attacks and silly word games). Here's one: I wouldn't vote for a couple of Dick Tracy Heads like you and your dish washer to be President and VP of the United States for all the Apples in China.

Myth Robme can talk all he wants about "pettiness" - but what he is DOING is NOT petty! (or pretty, LOL)

If you are even considering voting for Robme, first Google: "Bainport IL," and take a look at what a RomneyWorld would look like. . . .

170 American jobs, out-sourced to China, and the Sensata plant closed, despite 3rd Q net profits of $500,000,000 - $500M is apparently not enough - he needs more $$$ off the backs of workers.

why? GREED. Instead of paying American workers $17 an hour, they can pay Chinese workers .99.

Romney owns 51% of the stock in Sensata - he reported $800,000+ profit from Sensata on his last tax return.

the town council sent him a letter asking for help - he never even bothered to answer it.

Before you blame Obama for unemployment in this country - and before you decide Robme is going to suddenly start creating jobs (for Americans, not the Chinese) - look into Bainport/aka, Freeport Ill.

Then VOTE! O & JOE! Your job depends on it!

sfcret -- The plan that Obama has is, for anyone with eyes to see, to continue the recovery.

I see nothing silly about "Romnesia". However, I find "binder full of women" hilarious since Mitt didn't really have one.

Boston journalist David Bernstein reports that while Romney did indeed find himself with a binder full of women’s names, it wasn’t something he requested. The binder was put together by MassGAP, a bipartisan group of women who joined forces in 2002 to push Romney’s incoming administration to hire more women.

Let's not forget how strangely Big Bird and the Count on Sesame Street sounded when MYTH talked about firing them and their boss!!

Obama/Biden 2012

......You people are scary.

I keep wondering what this "failed" policy is? I haven't seen any failed policies. Everything is working. It could be working better if the Republican Congress would start helping America instead of stopping the recovery. But I'm very impressed with Obama's handling of just about everything. If you look at who got us into this mess in the first place, and realize they're still there trying to do the same things, well, Ya you aren't going to be happy with outcomes. Obama rocks.. Romney sucks rocks

Mr. Romney, I would rather be squeezed than be outsourced. It is disgraceful that a candidate would make a profit outsourcing jobs to China (Sensata) while saying on the campaign trail that he would be tough on China. Many bills put forward to help with job creation has died on the floor of Congress due to Republicans not wanting to help. Shame on all those who protect only the wealthy.

ldo,

You took the words right out of Karl Rove's mouth.

James-1191939 -- Why would "marks" work as a diplomat in America? Are you saying he's from a different country?

binders full of women..what image you can conjure up from Mitt a Mormon's perspectives?

Hey Geo: "They call me MR. Turdblossom!"

Hey Pig: They bind women's feet like in China (of old)? Interesting. Messes with their center of gravity. Mormon fun, like giving impromptu haircuts.

Petty? Who is being petty?

What is petty about 533 lies in 30 weeks? Romnesia perhaps?

What is petty about claiming you will be tough on China while Bain Capital is shipping a factory to China and training the Chinese workers here? Romnesia perhaps?

What is petty about threatening a moderator? Are you afraid of Big Bird? Does Big Bird make you feel inadequate?

Obama's policies are working ok. They would work even better if they were fully implemented. But those petty republicons will not pass a single thing that America needs to make this recovery better. Maybe that is why their approval rating is at a petty 7%.

Truth hurts, doesn't it Mitt? So do lies.

You've shown how well you're acquainted with the latter...and how much of a total stranger you are to the former.

@ ldo, post 1.1

Give me two failed policies, one domestic and one foreign.

Doesn't Romney look like someone coming apart from all the stress ? In the last debate Romney looked lethargic, he looked like a man who has not slept for days, his wife says she is concerned about his mental health, and if he loses, he will not run for president again.........................That should concern anyone, being the president is all about being subject to continuous stress

What has happened to the day, when what the news entity's reported to you, was the strait unbiased truth. So that, you let the chips fall where they may. Is it only me, or would you all like to see more unbiased truth reported.

800 Billion Stimulus plan

A Health Care insurance plan that increases the cost of insurance instead of Lowering it.

Doesn't Romney look like someone coming apart from all the stress ?

"NO" You cannot hit punchlines so well if you are under stress like you are talking about.

Wow, what a wimp. Seriously, Mr. Romney ...you need to man up!

This whining, coming from the guy who has verbally trashed and derided President Obama, and Mr. Obama's administration every single day for the past two years -- and did so almost entirely without any response from Mr. Obama until the Democratic Convention this Summer -- Romney sure cries foul quickly when someone hurts his delicate feelings! (Heaven forbid some bully get close enough to mess his perfect hair). My 9-year-old grandson is more manly. Good grief!

Mitt must have been a delightful as a child, growing up as the youngest with four older sisters. I can almost hear him:

"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy ...make her stop, make her stop. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! She's picking on me. Please make her stop, ...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.........."

I don't even want to think about the wounded reaction we would get out of a 'President Romney' if Vladamir Putin, or some other world leader upset Mr. Romney's delicate sensibilities.

Sounds a bit ... risky, to me. Especially given Mr. Romney's chicken-hawk mentality and apparent need to try to prove himself to be tough, even if it means starting and sending other people's sons and daughters to wars like chicken-hawk George W. Bush did.

@DB the $800B stimulus worked well. Not very well, but well. I know its pointless, but recall 2008-2009 that EVERY SINGLE ECONOMIST--left right and center, said the stimulus should have been at least $1.2T and it all should have been in direct spending. Instead the enemies of America (GOP) demanded that 1/3 had to be in the least stimulative form of stimulus--tax cuts.

Health care--the CBO and every non-partisan researcher has stated that Obamacare will reduce insurance costs. BTW, if you received a rebate check from your insurance company, I trust that you refused to cash it--after all, that's Obamacare in action. You wouldn't want to be a hypocrite, would you?

How about--230+ dead marines in Beirut--under Reagan. The 1st WTC attack six weeks into Clinton's presidency? 3000+ dead in the 2nd WTC attack under W? 4 dead in Libya under Obama. This isn't to say that only a handful died under Dem administrations and 3200+ under Rep. administrations and hence excusable. Instead, it points out that intelligence failures happen. Nothing sinister, you've just gotta remember our adversaries have every advantage, and sometimes you just can't stop everything. When did the US become such a nation of pussies? If we'd been as cowardly as the Republican brand is today, we would never have won the Cold War.

Iran on the verge of 5 bombs and you are wetting your pants? 1st, no credible source says they are on the verge of building 5 bombs. Second, I repeat--when did the US become such a nation of pussies? If we'd been as cowardly as the Republican brand is today, we would never have won the Cold War. A bomb goes off anywhere, and we will irradiate Iran for the remainder of human existence, and we wouldn't even use 1% of our bombs. And BTW, Romney has already said he'd do exactly what Obama's doing--unless you agree that he'd launch yet another illegal war, which I believe he would.

DB...

800 Billion Stimulus plan

Actually, it was $787B but hey, what's $13B more or less to the right-wing? If was such a bust, then why were so many R legislators falling all over themselves to be photographed presenting oversize checks to people in their district, taking credit for it or who pleaded for funds? Like Bobby Jindal, Phil Gingrey, Jack Kingston, Saxby Chambliss, Jimmy Isakson, & Paul Ryan. Funds that came from...well, how about that...the Stimulus Package.

A Health Care insurance plan that increases the cost of insurance instead of Lowering it.

It seems that isn't a cut-and-dried fact. I call your attention to the following link concerning ACA costs, and also to the October AARP Magazine, p.68.

http://cciio.cms.gov/resources/factsheets/rate_review_fact_sheet.html

4 dead in an embassy attack

This was truly regrettable, but a single terrorist attack doesn't denote a "failed" foreign policy. For if you count Libya, then you must also count 9/11. Or would that be a failed domestic policy?

Iran on the verge of completing 5 Atomic Weapons, delivery vehicle could be any car, truck, or luggage.

Well, DB, do you have any proof of this estimate? What would YOU do? Start another war in a far off region? A little more "cowboy diplomacy"? Start singing the John McCain version of the Beach Boys song?

"NO" You cannot hit punchlines so well if you are under stress like you are talking about.

Romney lost his "punchline" towards the end of the debate when it was proven that what he alleged the POTUS had said in the Rose Garden about Libya was false. He stammered and stuttered like a leaky balloon.

But if you really want to see his angst, look at the video taken immediately after the debate was over when the families and some of the audience came on stage. Mitt looked rattled...his sons crowded around him...but the look on Ann Romney's face was the kicker...total disbelief that Mitt had been ridden hard and put up wet.

The GOP has a major problem with real-time debate fact checking...and as clearly transpired, there's a reason why they do.

Romnesia - When you forget what lie you told last on the subject at hand.

Apparently with such a severe case of Romnesia, it's name sake can't remember the ad he ran late last year where he literally lifted a 'quote' of Obama quoting McCain and then played it as if Obama had made the asinine statement.

We don't like to reduce our side to nanny nanny boo boo; however, when that is the mentality of the attack machine,...it seems completely inbounds to fight fire with fire.

Besides, it was joyously FUN! Did you see how into it the crowd was?

Yeah, Romnesia is the least of that @!$%#s worries. And speaking of someone without a plan,...Romney - what loopholes do you plan to cut? Which taxes do you plan to cut? And by the way, why are you hiding your tax returns?

Come on, asswipe, show us the offshores and let's see just how heavily invested in OUR country you are - you slimey son of a bitch.

I think Romney should thank President Obama for Obamacare. Because Romnesia is apparently covered! bwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahaha

No plan???? No plan huh Mr. Romney? Let's see, President Obama has a jobs bill that the republicans are afraid to even look at yet approve unless the tax cuts for the rich are included. They stated in 2010 "JOBS JOBS JOBS" so I ask them "WHERE ARE THE JOBS REPUBLICANS that you promised?" They know the President's jobs bill will get the economy growing again and drive down unemployment BUT they sit idly by and do nothing. I wonder why? OOOOHHH I KNOW, so they can make Obama a 1 term president. Now they want to try and work a deal to save defense spending when they AGAIN, refuse to strike a deal to help balance the budget while coming up with sensible cuts.

What about you Mr. Romney? What is your plan? We know you have one but you don't want us to know about it UNTIL you are elected. The only one we DO know about is your energy bill that you CONVENIENTLY had written down on a piece of paper AFTER you came out of a "fundraiser" with all the fat cats in the oil industry that simply said "drill baby drill" and "approve the keystone pipeline". All you have said is that you have a "5 point plan". Well what is it?

As for "petty" attacks......You've been doing them the whole campaign and I guess it's not a problem when they benefit you but as soon as some one "calls your bluff" and reminds you of the comments and stance you set during the primaries, they are petty attacks. YET you and the rest of your "minions" have to dig all the way back to 2006 and 2008 to make your arguments about the President not caring for the country by distortion. Doesn't anyone thinks that's a little bit desperate and sad?

One last point Mr. Romney, If you care so much about the "middle class" as you claim or my bad, you meant EVERYONE, then why sign Mr. Norquist's pledge that only benefits the top 1%??? You see that's where I draw the line. You CLAIM you want to be the President but WHO are you going to be the President of, The United States OR the super wealthy like yourself? REMEMBER REPUBLICANS, Mr. Norquist OWN words, "We just need a empty suit to push and sign our policies that we feel will get this economy going again."

Will YOU be that empty suit Mr. Romney?

Ever get a job from a poor person? It is sad when you push this "empty suit" rhetoric when Obama is one for left wing political ideologies like wind and solar-----remember, Gore left politics (yeah right!) with 2 million in the bank and now is worth over what????

100 million. Crony capitalism DOES NOT WORK.

YOUR words are the empty suit when Soro's pulls the puppet strings.

Again----ever get a job from a poor person?

ConservativeVictory!

Yea, remember how Obama EVOLVED on that whole gay marriage thing?

You people MUST be in denial!

A move from extremely tolerant to supportive is only an inch compared to the moves Mitt continues to make.

Mitt "was an extreme right Governor" with absolute views on virtually everything, then showed up in the first debate denying it all and "liking" everything. He went from extreme right to almost center left as a matter of convenience and manipulation.

So where is Mitt, really? Actually, I think I know him. I've run into the "Mitts"of the world maybe a dozen times in my career... a numbers guy when needed, as long as the numbers are his... a quick decider, too quick... impatient... bullying... telling... never listens... always dismissive... and never considers people as anything but assets to be hired, fired, transferred, or otherwise depreciated.

Yep, that's the Mitt I know. So I admit that I recognized him from the day I heard him speak. I knew I could never support or even tolerate this guy no matter what came out of his mouth. I hated the Mitts as business partners. I watched them pull people apart... leaving bodies in their wake... saying whatever the f@#k they needed to say. To them, people were a bother... much more trouble than they were worth.

Yep, that's the Mitt I know.

Please. If you're voting for this guy, take another close look at him before you do. Be sure you know what you're letting us in for... for this guy has the capability of serious harm. We all know him now.

Romnesia is a great catch phrase. It describes his flip in both policy and vision to a tee. But is doesn't describe Romney's soul. His soul was exposed in the second debate when he got angry. we all saw it. Grace under fire is NOT Mitt Romney. Look at the tapes. Look at the look on his face and in his eyes when he found out he was wrong on the President's Libya statement. Furious. Dismissive. Unreasonable. Physical. Demeaning. Unpresidential.

brutaltruth

Ever get a job from a poor person?

In life everything has value. From the top to the bottom, we ALL have worth.

Yes, we need jobs right now. Yes, we need people to make money, invest in business, and to hire people. Workers need employers and employers need good workers.

But the answer is not to overreact and give away the tax farm to the rich in hopes that they will be so kind to provide jobs. The rich got richer by 13% during this recession. Having the money to spend is NOT the problem. The problem is demand.

Without going into all the dynamics, just remember that the middle class is the fuel for the prosperity of the rich. The middle class creates the demand that creates the opportunity for us all. We should be kissing the a$$ of the middle class... their confidence in the system and the leadership will ultimately drive the day... not more dollars in off-shore accounts.

sfcret -- The plan that Obama has is, for anyone with eyes to see, to continue the recovery

COinFL, What recovery are you talking about, lol? Only Barry and sleepy Joe, along with the old liberal media believe that lie! Barry hasn't recovered anything, he's only exposed his lies... which would suggest why Romney is surging in the polls and obama's lead is shrinking like the economy!

'binders and big bird' that's the talking points of Obama these days! He's sounding less and less presidential every day! Perhaps he's finally getting it..... no one wants him anymore!

Romney: Obama campaign reduced to 'petty attacks and silly word games'

Really Mitt? Petty?

Would that be PETTY -- like accusing Obama of NOT saying something during a Rose Garden speech, which the video shows he ACTUALLY SAID??

That wasn't just petty, MITTENS, that was another one off your goddam Magic Underwear Cult LIES!

Time to vaccinate the far right wing disease... What a blight on humanity republicans are

Mitt -- stop your endless whining. Yes -- Preaident Obama approves a lot of negative ads -- just like you do.

You guys on the right just love dishing it out, just love making fun of the left, just love insulting them and name calling (communist, Marxist, socialist, anti-American, lazy, etc.) but when even the slightest volley is fired back at you --- here comes the outrage, the whining, the “those liberals are so nasty” routine. Sorry right wing --- he real glue holding this movement together isn't taxes, abortion, any of that. The real glue --- what you ALL have in common is your sense of victimization and your unending hypocrisy.

Why should Romney have to explain his tax plan. Here is one reason.

http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/10/19/1052511/romney-model-tax-middle-class/

It is not that hard to figure your taxes under his plan. It's bad enough that no reliable tax study has said it will work. I know my taxes will go up. I still am a bit unclear on how reducing the tax rates by 20% and collecting the same amount of revenue is going to change anything. Even if we were to have extraordinary growth in GDP, that money needs to be applied to the deficit, not redistributed upward.

It would be nice to see his taxes so we can determine how much he will save. That would be an eye opener for the American public.

I guess Romnesia is a polite way to point out that Romney is a pathetic liar that cannot remember his last lie so therefore he tells another. That's ironic because it's always been the Republicans philosophy over the last 20 years to repeat the same lie over and over until people start believing it as truth. The problem with that philosophy is that even they lose track of the real truth.

Based on Romney's record at Bain, as president he would outsource our military to be handled by China to reduce cost. How can anyone believe with his past record he would create jobs here in America when all he did at Bain was to send all jobs he could to China and still does it today?

Romney wants to eliminate estate tax and lower capital gains tax even more. All the things that would give him and his family more money at the expense of the federal deficit. Am I the only that sees Romney as a selfish egotistical parasite that preys on the unfortunate but when it come time for him to pay his fair share of taxes he plans to evade them? This man is the lowest type of greedy sleaze ball that cares nothing about the lower income people as evident by saying they pay no taxes and want handouts yet he makes multimillion dollars and doesn't want to pay ANY taxes. All those that don't make over $250,000 that would vote for him are fools. He does not care about you and will do nothing for you. In fact he would make your live harder by passing the tax burden onto you and your family for generations. Think.

OBAMA PROMISE Shovel ready jobs, back to the brick & mortar ideals this country was built on. Where are the Shovel ready jobs? Is brick & mortar ideals payoffs to all his fundraising buddies with Billions of $$$ in so called stimulus. In the last debate he said " I want to bring back the well paying jobs, the Chinese can keep those cheap labor jobs."

The statement above just goes to show how clueless Obama really is. Those cheap labor jobs are the shovel ready, brick & mortar jobs that are necessary. Why can't people grasp the fact that things like minimum wage increase, etc are just a temporary fix which inflats everything around it. When Minimum wage is $10/hr. what will be a well paying job or how about $20/hr. Has anybody payed attention to the price of a hamburger? It has nothing to do with minimum wage increases, we all know that it is those evil cattle raisers, cattle haulers, meat processors, packers, delivery trucks and drivers, stockers, cooks and servers fault. The bun and all the trimming have no bearing on the price because they just fell from the sky. How does McD's still have a dollar hamburger?

Boycott grocery stores they charge too much for what fills their magical sheves.

Living Wage? What the hell is that? It to is like the minimum wage, what was today isn't tomorrow. Surviving is a living wage. The toys are extra.

"This Clown, Mitt Romney, is a known psychopathic Liar, an Admitted Tax-Cheat and a probable Felon"

More crap from the followers of obama.

"Mitt and Anne Romney are an odd couple -

Mitt suffers from Romnesia,

his wife suffer from Annesia?

they don't belong here in America,

off they go and ...

move to Polynesia."

And still more crap from the followers of obama. You guys crack me up. You talk of Romney attacking obama, while obama makes his remarks and that is ok with you right? Bunch of hypocrites. Must be tough to wake up every morning to read, watch or listen to whichever ridiculously biased news you get, and then feel the need to spin into some type of excuse about good you think he is doing. Failure, that is all you can say. The guy you picked failed. What did you think would happen? I have to say obama is a talker and can give a good speech, but that doesn't get the job done. No business experience, no Governor experience, a junior Senator at best, no CEO experience, never put a budget together or be held accountable. What did you think would happen?

I agree with HopeyChangyFeely - "you people are scary"

It is not the blind followers of obama that scare me, they can't help it and are unable to see things for what they are. It is the followers that now have that nagging voice in the back of their mind that says "it's over", he gave a good speech and we bought it but if failed. They see obama and the failures and in trying to save face for picking the loser they continue supporting Egotistical/Narcissist.

Larry - "Based on Romney's record at Bain, as president he would outsource our military to be handled by China to reduce cost."

What evidence, proof or resources do you have for this insanely ridiculous comment? Any at all?

"How can anyone believe with his past record he would create jobs here in America when all he did at Bain was to send all jobs he could to China and still does it today?"

Again, any proof of this other than what occurs in the business world when companies are bought out? When companies are failing, they either recover, go bankrupt and restructure, shut the doors or....wait for it.....can sell to anyone who wishes to buy the failing business. Not all business ventures survive. Before you hammer Romney on business ventures, ask obama how he did with Solyndra, or the other three clean energy picks of his that not only failed or are failing, but screwed the taxpayers in the process. I'm sure that slipped your mind when making that comment right?

(Obama's) sounding less and less presidential every day! Perhaps he's finally getting it..... no one wants him anymore!

Mark, Barry never did look or act presidential.... even the libbies are beginning to see it! I can see the tension in their posts. They are nervous and worried that the gravy train is over.... Mitt is going to put 'work' back into welfare!

I guess Obama is now trying to pass himself off as a doctor. Its probably a good idea since with every day more and more people are realizing that he certainly is no president. Maybe he’s even got a medical degree locked up somewhere with the rest of his academic records.

I don’t expect he’ll produce that degree but he did coin a new affliction - “Romnesia”. Pretty catchy, almost as catchy as "hope and change" and "yes we can". The term may be new but the affliction certainly isn’t. It was first diagnosed in 2008 when Obama started displaying its symptoms, even as the rest of us have suffered its effects. Remember “I’ll cut the deficit in half my first term”, “I’ll get unemployment down to 6%”, “I will have the most transparent administration in history”? My favorite though is “I’ll bring the country together”.

We understand Mr. president. You are suffering from an ailment. Time to take your medicine. Go home to Chicago where Valerie Jarrett, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Candy Crowley can protect you from further exposing your inadequacies.

That's all Obama has to attack with. He certainly can't stand on his record for the last four years.

obama and smiling Joe (dufus) Biden need a new line. Not only did you wear out Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive. You were less than honest about it as well. Got a little news for you......

Bin Laden may be dead...but you didn't get there on your own, and,

GM is alive, but they are on life support.

Obama has a lot of exposure in the Libya scandal. He now claims he called the murders of 4 Americans a terrorist attack, except he, Hillary, Jay Carney and the State Dept. spent a month calling the incident rooted in some video tape, which was a lie. Romney will clean Obama's clock Monday on this...Check and Mate.

Wake up! Romney and Obama are related to each other (look it up). They are also related the Bush's! The blue bloods have always run this world.

Looks like Romney has a bad case of Romnesia, is that why he looks like he's in a daze !!!!

Petty attacks indeed. Obama himself said; "if you have no record to run on, attack your opponent". Seriously, did anyone expect anything different from Obama?

Now that he's trailing Romney, look for much more, except it won't work. Consider that he's spent something like a couple hundred million on ads trashing Romney and he has nothing to show for it but sinking poll numbers.

The hatred from both sides is heating up the nearer we get to Election day,but it would be more productive to just state what are objective from either platforms. As far as I am concerned,my complaints of Romney is his lack of one. I see where his dilemma comes in. He is a conservative Republican without too many smarts who considers that with his money that he deserves to be chief,as he is in business,where no underling dares to contradict him and thinks that he could do a great job. His problem is that his base is the far right of the Republican Party so he is continually pandering to his base and trying to reassure the rest of his prospective voters that he is a centralist. That is the main reason that he can't run on any program and appears to be uncertain of his true philosophy,which he is,in my opinion devoid of. I do not state my opinion of his opponent as I agree with his attempts to advance our society into a great one. I am a Liberal Democrat.

mike-2598123

Of course Obama is using smear tactics and word games, HE CAN'T RUN ON HIS LAST 4 YRS AND HAS NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE NEXT 4 YRS..

So its talk @!$%# and scare seniors & women into thinking Romneys going to kill grandma and force women to have babies, by strapping them to a table and just keep impregnate them like cattle....

all this nonsense about the WAR ON WOMEN is BS and this lilly ledbetter law for what, this just another bill to make women think there (dems) fighting for them . its the same thing about immigration WE DONT NEED NEW LAWS, WE NEED TO ENFORCE WHATS ON THE BOOKS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!

and omen if your employer is discrimanating against you SUE THEM THERES"S A LAW FOR THAT TOO !!!!

MIKE ARE YOU THAT LAZY TO FIND OUT WHAT THE TRUTH REALLY IS? ARE YOU THAT STUPID? BY YOUR POST HERE, YOU HAVE NOTHING OF WORTH TO CONTRIBUTE BUT SHOWING YOU A$$. AND, YOUR SPELLING AS WELL AS GRAMMER, NEEDS SOME WORK. THINK ABOUT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!

And who brought up Big Bird in the first place? You are just being met with silly comments from your silly comments...

Funny how the Romney's complain when thing aren't going the way that they want them to...

Ann complained about verbal attacks then one of the son's wanted to punch the president...

I'd say, try growing up... If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen... Or the campaign...

Just in case you needed any further persuasion that Barack Obama’s carping about Mitt Romney’s finances is both stupid and hypocritical, Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul noted on Tuesday that Obama himself has accepted six figures’ worth of political donations from executives of Bain Capital, Mitt Romney’s old investment firm.

“President Obama has based his entire reelection campaign on a vicious, dishonest assault on Mitt Romney’s business career. The real question for President Obama is this: if Bain Capital is so bad, why have you taken nearly $120,000 in donations from them? President Obama’s actions are the height of hypocrisy,” Saul declared.

The precise total is $118,121, and Obama has been taking that Bain money ever since he ran for the Senate. Furthermore, as noted by ABC News, “One of Obama’s top campaign financiers – Jonathan Lavine – is also managing director at Bain, bundling between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, according to estimates released by the Obama campaign.” Humorously, Lavine is also the executive who is actually responsible for some of the decisions Obama has most stridently hammered Romney for, even though they were decisions made after Romney left the company.

The hypocrisy-soaked response from Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt is hilarious:

“Mitt Romney is the only person campaigning for president who says that during his tenure as a corporate buyout specialist his goal was job creation and that we should evaluate his qualifications for the presidency based on that record,” LaBolt told reporters on a conference call.

“As the president has made clear when he’s discussed this, the job of the President of the United States is to worry about the workers and the livelihoods of middle-class families just as much as it is to worry about profit creation,” he said.

Actually, Mr. LaBolt, the “job of the President of the United States” is neither of those things… and even so, Barack Obama is a hard-core proven failure at both of them. The whole point of the Obama campaign is that the incumbent cannot be “evaluated” based on his “qualifications,” either during his initial run for office, or his re-election campaign. Attempts at such evaluation are generally denounced

Odumbo campaign speeches are now sounding more like snarkisms from his azz kissing late night TV hosts. I think he's hired writers from Mahr, Letterman, Leno et al... Very unprofessional and demeaning to the Office and the position as the "World Leader" (yeah...right!) ... but then again, we all know he's an imposter who didn't qualify for the office in the first place. What a poor loser!

Terry, what do you mean not going the way Romney wants? Are you 6 weeks behind or just ignore most polls out there? I know polls mean nothing till election but the give an idea of what is going on. Most polls have Romney up with or slightly ahead. Your boy is on the ropes so not sure what you mean by that?

Romney graduated at the top of his class; whereas Obama allegedly graduated. When you cannot run on your record the only tactic left is defamation of your opponent.

When you consider the fact that even George Bush and Al Gore released their respective college transcripts in spite of the fact that they were average students it has to make you wonder how far down the list Obama ended up when all was said and done.

I really do not know who is worst; Obama, or those that voted for him in 2008. Six trillion dollars in additional debt within a single four year term is indefensible; especially when you consider the fact that the majority of job losses realised since 2008 happened the day after Obama was elected.

how do you interject a subliminal message into a stump speech? Aug 31 lakeport florida. upon a podium at the airport speaking to citizens. "lets get this COMPANY working again". are we electing a president, or are we going to elect a "boss" for this COUNTRY? i believe romney is delusional. Romnesia is speaking the truth, romney cant discern between "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", and another CORPORATION about to be out sourced to china.

TonyD,

How nice of you to give us your reasoned insight on the President. It certainly makes me want to take a look at the candidates once more!

Let's see, I could vote for 2 liars with one vote, Or I could vote for 2 people that want to move the country forward. Damn these tough decisions.

I know, I'll look at the largest newspaper's endorsement in Mormon Country, Salt Lake City, were the Olympics that Romney saved were held.

Let's see, Romney doesn't deserve a chance to be President, because of his courting the Tea-Bag and the religious right vote, and his constant shape shifting on policy.

Darn, if they don't think President Obama deserves a second term.

Hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! Guess that seals the deal for me.

p.s. Tony I'm not a good speller either so it pains me to point this out, but in your post You misspelled President Obama's name, you typed Odumbo, LOL, has to be a mistake cause the President isn't dumb.

YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 more for 44

CHECK THIS OUT - LOOKS LIKE THE PEOPLE OF UTAH CAN'T STAND ROMNESIA!

***************************

Well, this must be awkward. The Salt Lake Tribune, the paper of record in Salt Lake City — which is also the city with the largest Mormon population in the country — has just gone and endorsed Barack Obama rather than fellow Mormon Mitt Romney. In an editorial, the paper praises and thanks Romney for his outstanding work in 2002, when the Olympics, organized by Romney, showed the world the city's best. But the editors say it was Romney's "shape shifting" during the nomination process, from courting the Tea Party to the GOP's far-right contingent that made them wary of the candidate. The paper calls Obama's leadership "decisive," and says he has earned a second term, whereas Romney "does not deserve a first." [http://now.msn.com/salt-lake-tribune-endorses-obama/

Yep with the ETCH A SKETCH man changing positions faster than a chameleon lizard can change it's colors, your bound to get a WHIPLASH!!!

Another example of Romnesia is Romney's jobs record as governor of Massachusetts. According to the nonpartisan Mass. Budget and Policy Center's 9-3-06 report:

Massachusetts is just one of nine states that failed to register a net gain in employment between the start of the national recession in March 2001 and June 2006; it is one of only six states that failed to register a net employment gain between the end of the recession in November 2001 and June 2006. In fact, of the states in these two groups, only Michigan and Louisiana have experienced deeper job losses than Massachusetts since 2001.

Romney did a lousy job at creating jobs in Massachusetts and you won't hear him talking about that. It is no wonder he is down 20 points in Massachusetts.

Dishonesty in the business community related to all those fraudulent mortgage securities misled the Fed's experts about the severity of our financial crisis in the Summer of 2008, preventing them from being more aggressive in taking more action. This dishonesty led to the crisis in the banking industry that resulted in Bush's $700 billion bank bailout and a deep recession with 800,000 jobs lost per month and -8.5% growth in 4th quarter 2008.

Now, we have a man running on his business record, because he can't run on his record as Governor. He shifts his position on his economic plan, tax cut plan, $2 trillion increase in defense spending (?)and lies about Medicaid and Medicare and what his positions were last month.

Do we really need a businessman, who has shown us how dishonest he can be, to be President?

This is all Obama, the Democratic Party, and his liberal supporters have to offer. Petty word games and personal attacks is all that is left for Obama to try and con his way to four more years. No record of success to run on, and no agenda for the next four years. With Obama going south in the polls it appears time to dumb down his campaign with his little made up words. This is about as pathetic as it gets for an incumbent president. Obama is setting a new low for incumbents that have no record to run on. It is hard to imagine how Obama could make himself look less presidential.

"I don’t think he understands the Constitution of the United States…He’s the president of the United States. You don’t say, ‘you’ll get your chance.’” - Chris Matthews

It seems that Mr Matthews has mistaken a "public SERVANT" for a dictatorship... or maybe he knows something we don't about the Obama administration?

Let me just go ahead and put it out there, since I know the Repubs in this thread have been trying to make a point that Obama doesn't have a plan for a second term...

Google: "Business Insider Obama Plan for Second Term".

First link is for the Business Insider article about his second term, and step by step what his released plan is going to be. In addition, Washing Post has released information on what Obama plans to do in his second term.

So before you guys start spouting off about what Obama hasn't released, do some research first before you make yourselves look foolish. The President has released more info about his second term plans then Gov. Romney has for his first term.

There is really not much else to say about a guy who has offered no substantive plan of his own. What are you going to say about a guy who has taken all sides of just about every position? Debating Romney is like debating a bowl of jello. His big debate tactic in the first debate was to say 'nuh-uh' to everything he'd been saying on the campaign trail.

What do you think he really believes? I think the stuff he said behind closed doors is most likely what he really believes. Half the country are takers with no responsibility. There is nothing we can do about the Isreal/Palestine problem. He'd love to find a foreign policy opening to tie Obama to Carter. Etc.

That last one he's working hard on right now. Have you noticed how many times he's mentioned the late 70's? Yeah, that's the real Mitt Romney.

What would be interesting would be to replay each statement Romney has made..and the ones Obama has made..and then compare them ..lets see then just who has stayed inside their own talking points...and not changed them according to whom they speak too. I have heard most all of them from Romney..and as yet to hear him make trhe same statements to different groups. Even in the first debate he changed what he has been saying about cutting taxes for his wealthy friends...by deneiging them on that stage.

Got to love how liberals have to use a link to some website where you can supposedly find out what Obama has planned for the second term. Of course you would never know that Obama has any plans for a second term listening to him on the campaign trail, his speeches are nothing but petty schoolyard trash talk. Hardly presidential. If Obama really had a plan, he would be pushing it at every stop. Instead we get scare tactics, blame, and excuses for all his failings, but nothing about how bright the future would be if he gets re-elected. Obama is plummeting in the polls because people are tired of the rhetoric, the attacks, and the broken promises. Obama has nothing to run on, so he is doing his best to con his way into a second term. Obama is running a pretty pathetic campaign by any stretch of the imagination, and that is why he is 0-1-1 in debates, and the best he can finish is 0-1-2. Romney will continue to surge in the polls, and win this going away.

I keep hearing all the RWNJ's parrot this talking point about Obama:

"If you can't run on your record then you run on defaming your opponent."

Nice how they project their own flawed strategy as an accusation, eh? They've been running solely on baseless insults and accusations of Obama since 2009.

Odumbo, Obamao, Obammy, etc etc etc etc. He's a Kenyan Muslim with a fake birth certificate. He's a SOSHULIST OMG he wants to destroy America!

We all remember the non-stop loony attacks. That's all I've heard from the trolls for 3 years on the Vine. Now Obama points out Romney's high level of lying ability with the term "Romnesia" and they all cry about it.

Hypocritical babies. Maybe don't nominate serial liars with no conscience, then you won't get nicknames like Romnesia and Lyin' Ryan.

It is hard to imagine how Obama could make himself look less presidential.

Not really...all he'd have to do is simply emulate Mitt Romney.

Hair isn't everything.

Petty attacks for a petty target. Mitt Romney has had many opportunities to lay out his fiscal plans, and the best he was able to come with was, "Trust me, I know how to balance a budget. Of course my numbers will add up." If you want a substantive debate, Governor, you need to bring some substance to the table.

For those who truly care about the future of this country - It would be behoove you to watch the movie: 2016: Obama's America. It is an eye opener. It is there you will find an agenda that is not within the frame work of our founding fathers.

Some may choose to take issue with it - and even try to dispute it - but the "CHANGE" will be noted there.

Personally? I much prefer the country as it was established. The one that American's have fight and died for. It was built by Americans.

Don't make their service and ultimate sacrifices in vain.

"Reduced" to. Republicans have reduced american politics to complete shame. Not an honorable bone in their collective bodies. Their politics have reduced common sense in every polarized idiots mind. NOTHING more shameful and unhonorable walks american soil than these idiots.

renee-no cali---

so your are able to accept a draft dodger who ran and hide from duty to his country for FIVE years. romney quote from 18mos ago: "gosh, i wish now i could have been in vietnam with all the guy's". no doubt, romney would have been a polished lieutenant and would have made the "ultimate sacrifice" by his last moments of feeling friendly fire. romney is a spineless fraction of a little man. liars, and cowards walk together.

Hey, Renee, there is a word for movies like 2016:

PROPAGANDA

Look it up.

Romney/Ryan?

Unemployment and new jobs creation

On average, unemployment rates were slightly worse in the rest of the nation than in Massachusetts for the first three years of Romney's term.[59][62] By his final year in office, the state was struggling to keep pace with the rate of falling unemployment nationwide.[59]

Massachusetts' national ranking leapt from the 29th highest in unemployment when Romney took office to the 18th by the end of his term.[59]Unemployment in Massachusetts rose during Romney's first year from a rate of 5.6 percent in January 2003, when he took office, to a peak of 6.0 percent in mid 2003.

[66] It then steadily declined over the remainder of his term, ending at 4.6 percent in January 2007,[66] his last month as governor, for a net improvement in unemployment of 1.0 percent.[59] Much of the improvement in unemployment during Romney's first three years in office reflected the loss of working-age adults from the labor force,[62][67] many of them having left Massachusetts for other states during the period.[68][62] Massachusetts experienced one of the highest levels of net out-migration of any state during Romney's term.

Analysis: By invoking the powers of Willard (Romnesia) Romney's "magic amulet"- it will work so long as the majority of US Citizens move to another country.

Paul Ryan-Bow and Arrow Over-Taxation Repealed!

Ryan became the ranking Republican member of the House Budget Committee in 2007,[56] then chairman in 2011 after Republicans took control of the House. That same year he was selected to deliver the Republican response to the State of the Union address.[57]

Official U.S. Congress portrait of Ryan in 2011

During his 13 years in the House, he has sponsored some 71 bills or amendments,[58] of which two were ultimately enacted into law.[59] One, passed in July 2000, renamed a post office in Ryan's district; the other, passed in December 2008, lowered the excise tax on arrow shafts.[60][61] Ryan has also co-sponsored 975 bills[59] of which 176 have passed.[62] 22 percent of these bills were originally sponsored by Democrats; the average for Republicans is 19 percent.[59] In 2010, Ryan was a member of the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform (Bowles-Simpson Commission), which was tasked with developing a plan to reduce the federal deficit. He voted against the final report of the commission.[63]

Analysis:Democrats do his work-but the Bow and Arrow win is all his. Captain Teabag does it again?

I have been calling it Ping-Pong Politics, but Romnesia is catchy.

DB Akron

800 Billion Stimulus plan

you mean the stimulus that Paul Ryan said "can I have some please" to? The stimulus that Paul Ryan said would create jobs?

That stimulus???

A Health Care insurance plan that increases the cost of insurance instead of Lowering it.

proveit. BTW, Romney's plan is to use ER as heealth plan by those who do not have one. Tell me what's cheaper for both taxpayers and the sick one, using ER as your doctor or using your primary dctor as your doctor?

4 dead in an embassy attack

As opposed to the great job Bush did before 9/11 happened? 40+ intel memos ignored and 3000 dead Americans. BTW, both parents of the Navy SEAL and the ambassador are supportive of the Obama's Admin. ONe of them even said SHE DOESN"T TRUST ROMNEY - and she is from his "home" state of Massachusetts. What does that tell you?

Iran on the verge of completing 5 Atomic Weapons

prove it. BTW, it's Obama Admin + UN vs Mitt Romney.

Obama 4 years of vary lost hope and only change to count and this is real and it's vary sad that some of you get paid form him or his Connie's to post on here. look up how much money Obama has taken from bain capital over the years.

While Democrats assail presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital business practices, Republicans note that President Obama has not been bashful about accepting cash from Bain executives or other high-profile figures in the corporate buyout business.

“President Obama has based his entire reelection campaign on a vicious, dishonest assault on Mitt Romney’s business career. The real question for President Obama is this: if Bain Capital is so bad, why have you taken nearly $120,000 in donations from them?” said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul. “President Obama’s actions are the height of hypocrisy.”

Obama and his re-election campaign have been hammering Romney for reaping huge profits at the helm of Bain, while companies in which the firm invested went bankrupt, laid off workers or outsourced jobs overseas.

“Romney and his partners put payments to themselves and their partners first, before anything else,” David Foster, a former union leader at Bain-owned GST Steel, which later went bankrupt, told reporters on a conference call.

“I was the one who had to tell [the laid off workers] that Bain had broken its promises, underfunded their pensions and that they were on their own,” he said, noting that Bain had devastated families and real lives.

Agreed Babina. Classic projection.

Romney is just upset because..."Romnesia" is the perfect summation of his campaign. He has told so many lies and been all over the board with what he says..."Romnesia" is the only prognoses.

Typical Bixelrod agenda.....talk about the small stuff and continue to attack deflecting from the real issues.

Guess we will hear about this at the next Mr. Canary's White House Press briefing, or maybe Ms/Mrs Jarrett will come out of door #1 and say something. I wonder if Mrs. Clinton was granted permission to re-enter the United States.

And, really, is this your Republican party, who stand by and watch Sensata be outsourced to China?

Your candidate, Myth Robme, stands to make millions (behind the scenes as usual) as Bain closes this very profitable plant in Freeport Il. The plant even had to train the Chinese who would replace them! Myth Robme hasn't even got the cajones to show up and (pie crust) promise these workers jobs like he does the rest of US — of course as a hopeless chicken hawk he never had any to begin with, eh?

So, really, ye puffed up Grand Obstructionist Poopies, is this the way you take care of American workers? Do you look forward to seeing this being repeated all across the nation?

No word games here, just the sad truth of Myth Robme's values at work on gutting the 47%, or the 98%, whatever the etchy-sketchy says.

Except that Romney's inconsistency on virtually every important issue is one of the real issues, Ido. Just what is it that he believes? How do we know? As governor of Mass., he supported Roe v. Wade. Now he wants abortion outlawed. He gave us the kind of health care mandates in Obamacare. Now he wants to get rid of them. And there has to be some reason all the billionaires are pouring millions into his campaign. What did he promise them? Romnesia fits.

talk about the small stuff and continue to attack deflecting from the real issues

Exactly!! Let's discuss how BAIN CAPITAL is sending a few hundred people to the crapper by sending their jobs to CHINA!!

The "job creator"Mitt ROmney could not care LESS. But he has YOUR VOTE

PFFT!!!

kimb,

I know huh. Everyone I have told about what Obama said during that event has broken down laughing their asses off. It is such a perfect term to describe Mitt that I would not be surprised if that term becomes a defining thing for Romney.

We will have to see but I could almost guarantee it is going to affect how people view Romney; too bad it did not come much earlier.

I be the workers in that non-Union factory were planning on voting for Rack and Ruin before, but now they will vote for Obama.

How petty of them!

"The president has no jobs agenda. We keep on asking him: What are you going to do to create jobs? He has nothing new. He says well we're going to go forward," Romney said. "Forewarned is a better term."

Really ? Nothing new ? Hmmmmm... I seem to recall something called the American Jobs Act that Pres Obama has been waiting HOW many months for Congress to approve, yet they FLAT OUT REFUSE TO !! Blame the jobs situation on the REPUGLITARDS. Yes... they're also responsible for voting AGAINST the Veteran's jobs bill which would have put another 700,000 ppl to work.

Obama say's "Forward"......and how is more of the same a good thing? I haven't had a raise in 4 years under Obummer, work is down, economy sucks and you THINK we want more of this guy. Gimme a break.

Ever get a job from a poor person? Do you work for the Gov.? Then MAYBE you have a job from the poor, but not most of America.

GROW A BRAIN!

Q: Who brought you the Bush Recession with the resulting unemployment?

A: BUSH

SO: Stop being stupid, and stop pretending that the next guy should have had the Bush Mess cleaned up in 4 years after it took Dumbya 8 years to create it. It takes longer to rebuild than it does to destroy! Being stupid is wanting to return to the same GOP policy makers who gave us the recession!

When Dumbya left the White House, job losses were at 750,000 per month. He brought this country to its knees and tanked the Stock Market down to the 7,000's. Only morons would say we have not had improvement since that idiot left office and would want to give the reigns back to the GOP!!

Anyone notice this? The Salt Lake City Tribune, the largest Mormon owned newspaper in the nation, has endorsed President Obama. The Tribune refers to Romney as the "Shape Shifting" nominee.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/utah-newspaper-endorsement-slams-romney/story?id=17519264#.UIKYdm_A-UQ

willard socialist,egotistical bully,cohort investor with vladmir putins interests in russia .arrested in mass for putting an unlicensed boat in lake cochituate officer told him not to put boat in lake says he's a millionaire and dont care about the laws he pay the fine.his family have to have fun at any cost. taken in handcuffs to natick jail judge releases him without bond he a governor.(definitely not treated like the rest of the public they would have to bond out).

It is not just Obama who's resorted to petty name calling.... the liberals at this blog are pretty good at it themselves! Scary people, maybe too worried about having to go back to work when Mitt gets elected!

Lyin' Ryan bull-dozed his way into a fake photo opportunity at a homeless shelter soup kitchen. He spent about 15 minutes of his precious time by cleaning already clean dishes, after the soup kitchen for homeless people was already closed. Then, Republicans got mad when it was shown in the media what a fake Ryan is. Now, the Republican donors of this homeless soup kitchen are mad, and they are asking for their money back for their donations to this soup kitchen. They wan't to let the hungry starve, just because lyin' Ryan was caught in a lie. If they aren't the lowest scum of hell, then tell me what they are! Republicans are the dirt beneath Satan's wings.

Next debate, Foreign Policy - Romney's Foreign Policy, Sir Romney brought disgrace opon himself with England !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Romnesia is a very fitting description of Mitt Romney's recent memory.

How long has it been since he said he supported the Ryan budget which would gut Medicaid and turn Social Security into a voucher program? Now, he runs from its specifics.

How long has it been since Romney was severely conservative?

How long has it been since he said he would cut taxes for the rich?

How long has it been since he said he would increase defense spending by $2 trillion over next 10 years?

How long has it been since he said he supported the Personhood bill which would outlaw abortion and severely limit some contraceptive methods?

Mitt Romney just can't remember these positions. He must be suffering from Romnesia. Many of his followers also suffer from Romnesia. Its very sad...this Romnesia. Romnesia is bad for truth and integrity in government.

Most of us deserve better than a candidate suffering from Romnesia.

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

Come on Mitt. President Obama was just using humor to highlight all the not very petty and silly lies you've been dumping on the American People..... Republicans, they can sure dish it out but boy are they like little children when they get a taste of their own medicine........ Romney and every other Republican jerk are nothing but lying, two faced cowards not fit to govern........

While Democrats assail presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital business practices, Republicans note that President Obama has not been bashful about accepting cash from Bain executives or other high-profile figures in the corporate buyout business.

“President Obama has based his entire reelection campaign on a vicious, dishonest assault on Mitt Romney’s business career.

Hummbird - Yes he did remember??? He said he had a BINDER full of qualified women......Oh wait.......my bad the question was about equal PAY.....Sorry Mr. Romney you get an "F" on that one.

Obmaa says he does, but the women in his cabinet make 18 percent less than the men.

HMMMMM.....

max from scottsdale you dont like obama's drones hoovering over your backyard. so maybee you would rather have a member of the taliban swoop down in your backyard with an ak47 and a few remote control bombs.

sorry max ok brutal truth. drones.

The Propaganda from the right has become more laughable the more desperate they become.I can see where the 60% of the super rich are coming from,even though I think that the protection of their disgusting excessives is,in the long haul, futile . I think that they would be better off to themselves, to realise that they have gone far too far in their excesses and start to help advance our society into the great one that it could and should be.

Yes we been laughing for about fours years more like living from check to check his time is up,I do see that he has gotten better in his golf game because he hasn't done much of else.This is no joke it's time to get America back on track with a rael leader.

Romney 2012

Brutaltruth. Question? How do you figure that? All cabinet jobs have base salaries the are not adjustable like the one at your job where your boss can raise or lower your salary at will. The only thing the President can do is freeze government salaries like he did when he took office in 2008. Show me some proof or stop with the lies.

If obama care was so good where is it?

and Obama kids have silver spoons do you hate them to?

Bainonomics

The first debate we had Big Bird.

The second debate, as Romney swooped in, totally unaware that he was walking into his own trap, we had Big Burned.

Hahahaha, the look on his face when he realized he set himself up and couldn't get out of it was priceless.

THIS is why the man is too stupid for the job. He was the only one watching that didn't know where it was going.

The GOP has backed themselves into a corner. They are so far extreme right they can't get back to the middle unless Romney makes a fool out of himself and his policies. We can balance the budget with a reasonable GOP and DNC. We can pass job bills that will move us out of this depression started by the GOP! We can get this economy booming if the GOP GETS OUT OF THE WAY!

Obama drones spotted........hovering morons with small brains and cheap shots.

stardrup romney's going to kill big bird. no government funding for educational programming for children on pbs. only the rich kids need an education. the poor kids need to slap burgers on a grill for the rich according to romney. his kids need someone to cook and feed them and nannies to take them to school and whereever they need to go. Heil! Romney.

And what will a second Obama term look like? Remember, be specific.

Someone said that Obama would continue the recovery, and I had to laugh. First, that's not very specific. Second, after four more years of an Obama recovery, unemployment might be down to 6.5%, and that's if we don't fall back into a recession.

Which reminds me, is Obama proposing any idea to deal with the "fiscal cliff" that is going to hit on January 1st? How do you think that will affect this "recovery?"

And what will Obama's specifically do if the fiscal cliff does send us into another recession? I can do a lot better than specific; I can tell you exactly what Obama will do. He will do what he always does. He will blame republicans.

"Change We Can Believe In." It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Yeah, Bob, we can only hope the hopey-changey crowd will stay hungover and sleep late on election day, then wonder why their welfare and/or other handout checks don't show up in late January after Bozobama loses big in November. At least after Romney wins, we can have an adult with real-world business experience in office, rather than an inexperienced rabble-rouser. Maybe Michelle can plant an herb garden back in Chicago.

The chicken votes for Colonel Sanders. THAT'S RICH.

More of the same----gimme freebies, the government tit is swollen with good stuff. YUM!

I hope you prosper under a Romney administration and maybe understand how things are SUPPOSED to be, not crony capitalism, NOT utopia, BUT America as it was intended by it's founders.

GetSmarter: That is a brilliant user id, because you really do need to get smarter. People make a mistake when they begin to see tax policy as a means for enforcing some standard of fairness. This guy is rich, and that guy is poor, so it's "fair" to make the first guy give his money to the government. The only legitimate purpose of taxation is to fund government.

Beyond that, tax policy should be designed to minimize interference with private sector investment. That is what the lower capital gains tax rate is all about. We want people to invest, so we incentivize investment with a lower tax on investment gains. Failure to incentivize investment will have implications that go far beyond the so called 1%.

good one..

He certainly scares me! I am very afraid for what he will do to my family.

• Tell us Mike -- what "fresh ideas" is Romney offering? All he's doing is recycling Bush -- tax cuts for the richest of the rich, deregulation, more military spending. Been there -- done that. It gave us the worst economy since the depression.

Big Jimmy - would you like to be referred to as "not Optimal'?

Four dead is a little more serious then "not Optimal. Terrorist attack..... I 'm going to VEGAS!

Once again, the limited vocabulary folks are clinging to a word without regard for the QUESTION that was asked,...

And there we go down the rabbit hole of Petty.

DB Akron and Doogle. Do me a favor:

Look up the word Optimal, LISTEN to the WHOLE statement the President made and NOT the lil clip that Fox News played, then do like Romney does, Walk your statements back.....

Actually the first casualty of this quip will be Romney. Or at least his campaign's carefully constructed Wizard of Oz representation of Mitt's positions.

That Mittwit has positions? Youbetcha! Robme has more positions than the Kama Sutra!

Exactly! I'm 100% sick of hearing his 100% remarks. I'm 100% sure everyone knows he is 100% sorry he insulted a certain percentage of the country, and I'm 100% sure he will keep harping on that.

You mean like----drum roll

HOPE

CHANGE

FORWARD

Communist China had "The great leap FORWARD"......they FUNDAMENTALLY transformed their country so that a bowl of rice is EATIN' LARGE.

Know your history and why Obamanomics does not work.

• Know your history and know Bushonomice does not work either. And the only thing Romney has is Bushonomics.

oh really Gov. Romney, and you, oh you never have said a made up name for Obama. How about when you said to his face, ObamaCare. If anyone has been petty it has been you. And you better have a long talk with that brat of a son of yours that said he would like to hit the President, how disrepectful. You should have taught you sons a bit better, but I know what can anyone expect from a son of yours, I get it. While Obama stays around and shakes hands after a debate, you're out of there not wanting to mingle with the little people.

Yeah The DOJ should be all over it like The Black Panthers with Nightsticks or maybe The mexican cartels with assault weapons. Like the dem senate was all over the budget. Like Obama was all over jobs.....What?

They Didn't do NOTHING!

Yeah they did. They shoved thru Obamacare that's going to cost the nation more money then it has available.Borrow,borrow,and more borrowing.When will it end.

"Romney won't discuss his record in Massachusetts"

It's interesting to note a few things. In Massachusetts, where Mitt was a one term governor, the Romney/Ryan is down by over 19 points ---more than any other state in the union. In Michigan where Mitt's father was governor, the Romney Ryan ticket is down by 5 points. In Wisconsin, Ryan's home state, the Romney/Ryan ticket is also down by 5%. It seems the people who know these two the best -- don't want them to win.

Does evolution really go back and forth and back again? Romney has changed positions on many issues many times. I think you're too hung up the the "gay" thing. Hmmm.... that might say something about your sexuality that you don't want to admit.

CV,

So Mitt has been evolving and devolving all the past six years? Quick get the Creationists rounded up, we have finally proven the theory of evolution! (sarcasm)

Oh, now you people believe in evolution? How petty of you.

so true and funny, too..

Brian, What should scare you is the fact that this president has given Amnesty to 1.7 Million Illegal Immigrants allowing them to remain in this country. Who pays for that Brian? I'll tell you-- its the conservative and liberal middle class taxpayers, thats who. How does allowing People---- here illegally to begin with----- by giving AMNESTY, help the Middle class taxpayer, (conservative and liberal) find work?.IT DOESN'T. Yes friend, just what I want. 4 more years of THIS GUY who takes the oath of office as president to uphold OUR constitution, not upholding it. That's why we have had all Veterans of ALL wars fight and die, So ---HE---- can give the freedom and country away. thats only part of his policies and that's what scares me. .

Is that the same kind of amnesty Reagan granted to 3 million in 1987?

Swing -

No it isn't, because Reagan did it by working through Congress. Obama did it by executive order - bypassing Congress.

I agree Romney is scary..I think a president should be decisive, open-minded and even-tempered to serve in the White House. Romney appears to be very controlling, must get the last word but very in decisive about what positions he would take. He also appears to lack integrity which is not good for the American people....

Exactly. That is why the Republican talking point (as dictated by Frank Luntz) is to accuse the Obama administration of "having no plan".

When you are deficient in something, accuse the other side of the very weakness that is your own.

Anybody can see that President Obama's plan is to continue the recovery and help us American people.

When the largest paper in Salt Lake City endorsed Obama and says Romney doesn't deserve a shot, that's bad news. That's Mormon Central.

I visited Utah and the Mormons are good and decent people. Wish more Americans were like them. What the Salt Lake City newspaper saw was the lies Romney tells and they also know that he is a hypocrite with his investments in things the Mormon opposes like tobacco...But what's more disturbing is that Romney has sold half the country on his business experience. HE HAS STRETCHED THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS BUSINESS SUCCESS AT BAIN CAPITAL. DURING HIS TENURE, HE MADE 68 INVESTMENT DEALS AND 33 OF THEM FAILED. BAIN BECAME SUCCESSFUL AFTER HE LEFT. HE IS ALSO CLAIMING THAT HE CREATED JOBS. HE WAS MERELY A FINANCIAL INVESTOR. HE NEVER A MANAGER OF A COMPANY THAT GREW FROM GROUND UP. IT WAS THE MANAGEMENT TEAMS OF COMPANIES LIKE STAPLES WHO GREW THEIR COMPANIES AND MADE DECISIONS, NOT ROMNEY...AND ROMNEY IS TAKING THE CREDIT FOR THESE PEOPLE. HE SHOULD ONLY BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE 10 PEOPLE HE HIRED AT BAIN.

I can tell you where he got his 'plan'. 17 out of 24 of his advisers were recycled former Bush administration advisers.

Yeah, he says he doesn't want to go back to the Bush years, but he has an odd way of demonstrating that.

pay no attention to those men behind the curtain......I was so hoping that President Obama had pointed that out in the debate when the woman asked how he was different than President Bush. Obama should have pointed out that he's recycled 17 out of 24 of the Bush folks. Really, people want to back to that? Really? I hope this comes up on Monday and it is made clear who Romney's advisors are and how frightening that really is.

Huh, I don't think I knew he had a brother

ONO!! There are still voting machines being used???? They have been outlawed around here for a decade. Pencil and paper baby.

Yeah, I know, how petty of us Californians.

20 Amazing Facts About Voting in the USA

Having just gotten busted again in Virginia, the republicans clearly are out to steal this one.

miklkit,

I'm a SoCalGal and while we use the InkaVote system, the ballots are scanned with optical scanners, the kind that are notoriously glitchy and easily tampered.

Hand-counted paper ballots...we need to go back to those and get our elections out of the hands of private companies.

@Sailor-Girl

Truer words were never spoken (or written). No only do we need to get rid of all electronic VOTING machines, we also need to get rid of all electronic vote COUNTING machines.

Armand -

One problem with that - Romney's money is in blind trusts. Do you have any idea what that actually means?

Or are you just trying to make brownie points with your DNC handlers?

You just made Mitt's point.

You guys are desperate and out of gas. Have a good time losing the election!

Romney/Ryan 2012

The childishness stops here!

The GOP has adopted a "Wag the Dog" approach. Remember that movie ?

The day after Obama was elected, the GOP machine waged war on his presidency, just like with Clinton. It is un American.

Do not know what I am talking about ? Grover and the systematic stone walling ?

When the GOP shakes loose the grip from the devil then our country in this great land will be better served. Why intelligent people, GOP elected officials sell their souls to self serving fools, I do not and cannot understand. As they put the squeeze on moderates and force them out, Like Senator Snow, they drive the nation toward a darker future.

So in that regard, the Dems currently represent a more balanced and reasonable future for the country.

We cannot bankrupt the nation for the defense industry. It undermines the security of our country. Same for the health care industry. Same for Banking.

Blah blah blah.

We hold these truths to be self evident.

...not according to the electoral college estimates.

Anemone88, I just read this, don't take my word google it,

The Real Clear Politics Electoral Map now shows Mitt Romney in the lead for the very first time ever. With North Carolina moving from “Tossup” to “Leans Romney”, Mitt now takes the lead in electoral votes 206 to 201. Before NC’s 15 EVs were moved into his column, the map showed Obama up by 10. Now he is down by 5.

Mark, unlike most of the right-wing trolls on this site, at least you are trying to make a case using rational points. Too bad the majority of right-wingers have indulged in four years of cheap shots and disrespect.

I agree with you that I will be glad to put this election behind us.

Mark, I check the polls every day. The consensus is that Mitt would have to win Ohio and the consensus is that it's pretty darned unlikely.

I guess you'll have to wait for the next GOP billionaire to run on the platform of cutting taxes for the rich while BSing everyone else that he's interested in their problems. (sigh...)

Mark,

that map does not account for any of the toss up states. When you include them and where they sit as of today, Obama is still ahead:

http://electoral-vote.com/

286 to 239

also from 538blog:

Obama's chances of winning: 67.9%

Romney's chances of winngs: 32.1%

http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/author/nate-silver/

Intrade chances:

O: 69.1%

R: 38.4%

http://www.intrade.com/v4/home/

Obama is still the favorite 2 to 1 at this time.

With no toss-ups on RCP:

Obama still wins as things stand 277 to 261 assuimg Obama does not pick up Colorado and Virgina:

MarkM012757 You're smoking crack dude. It's true what they say about Fox News viewers. They know less than if they didn't watch any news at all. Obama will win by a landslide!

Obama has a 68% chance of winning? I wonder how many relatives in Ohio those people that used to work at Sensata have? Will they be petty about losing their jobs and call everyone to tell them to vote Democratic?

They looked pretty upset on television tonight.
