CLEVELAND, Ohio – Perhaps the most impactful part of President Barack Obama’s speech here Thursday night wasn’t anything he said, but how he arrived.

Pablo Martinez Monsivais / AP
President Barack Obama greets supporters on the tarmac upon his arrival on Air Force One at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012.
The presidential aircraft, Air Force One, taxied right up to a crowd of 12,000 at the Burke Lakefront Airport, easing to a stop in front of the podium.
After a dramatic few minutes when the crowd cheered on the plane itself, the president descended, breaking into a full jog to the stage, the words “United States of America” emblazoned on the aircraft behind him, gleaming in stark white and blue against the darkness of the night behind it.
While such theatrics were an example of the power of the presidency, Obama’s hoarse voice proved that even presidents get run down sometimes – for example, after 48 hours covering eight states and catching a few hours of sleep on the plane – even if it is Air Force One.
“We’ve been going for two days straight, from the East Coast to the West Coast,” he told the crowd. “I’ve still got a spring in my step because our cause is right. Because we’re fighting for the future,” he continued.
The president hit some notes that he reserves for Ohio events, including a special focus on the auto bailout, popular with Ohio’s autoworkers, which his presidential rival Mitt Romney opposed.
“If Mitt Romney had been president when the auto industry was on the verge of collapse we might not have an American auto industry today,” Obama said. “The auto industry supports one in eight Ohio jobs. It’s a source of pride to this state. It’s a source of pride for generations of workers. I refused to walk away from those workers.”
After his speech, the president turned and got right back on his plane, and took off for the White House.


Get a good night sleep Mr. President.
See you on the campaign trail tomorrow.
BTW, whats up with Ryan going to Alabama, Georgia and by passing a town hall meeting that he had scheduled?
guess they need to keep him in the red states so he cannot answer questions about the Murdock statement about God's will and pregnancy through rape.
What the hell are you blabbing about?
Paul Ryan was in Charlottesville, Virginia for a rally this evening.
I saw him speak, he was great, the crowd was energized !
Romney will win Virginia, no question.
Bob,
Ryan IS headed to Alabama and Georgia tomorrow.
Is he pulling a Palin and starting his 2016 run?

David -- that's all you got? It tells me there was a typo.
I was wondering the same thing about the town hall meeting. From what others have been saying, I guess he cannot "talk" since Romney stopped speaking to the press.
Romney can't go the rest of the way without talking to the press. I predict that in a day or two he'll issue some statement denouncing Mourdoch. Or at least saying that Mourdoch was taken "out of context". When he does, he should be asked for ten years of tax returns. Then, he'll refuse to give any more press interviews, and look like the chicken $#!T Big Bird that he is.
I can see why Obama is losing his voice....he speaks for all Americans! We just have to answer.....
Obama/Biden 2012
North Star- Whats up with Libya? Oh, wait you probably don't know about that because you keep your head in the sand. Obama's got a lot of explaining to do about the weapons deal that Stevens was involved in...
Concerning this article, but the auto industry did collapse and companies went bankrupt, Rather than a normal bankruptcy reorganisation it was an Obama administration managed bankruptcy for which the federal government had to borrow a lot of money that the tax payers are on the hook for. I estimate that the money that the federal government has borrowed to bale out the car companies will end up costing the tax payers 6 times the amount borrowed to pay it all back over the next 150 years. Apparently the federal government has a lot still invested in these companies. Does anyone know how our investment is currently doing? Actually I do not fault the government for making an effort to save real jobs. It is far better that people are working providing goods and or services that other people are willing to pay for rather than doing nothing and collecting relief.
Will, last I checked since the bailout GM market share has dropped from 22% market share to 17%. Since late 2010 the stock price has been falling...after the bailout the stock price was $38.98 at it's high, and now it sits at $23.65. If your an Obama fan this would look like success, because that is what you are told.
I so wish the President a wonderful rest and that being said ...

Obama/Biden 2012
If Romney wins I already got my Plan B to leave the country in the form of a work visa of a different first world nation. I made a mistake not leaving in 2004 when Bush got re-elected and paid for it in 2009. Not making that same mistake again if Trigger-Happy Romney wins. FYI, I am fully employed and doing well, but did not forget going unemployed out of college in 2009. I am also happy to pay unemployment to help my fellow countrymen since I know it can be a real struggle to get work in this economy where employers seem to be on a power trip.
All Romney will do is get engaged in another war, get another economic bubble to make the economy look like it is doing better than it is, followed by an even greater collapse than what we saw with Bush; then we might actually default.
I also want to add for the people who are working, earning a liveable wage and complain about paying taxes that if you don't like paying taxes leave. Living in the US gives anyone an economic advantage they would not have in many other places in the world. All these self made people would not be so without benefiting from what we have here. I worked hard on my own and earned what I have, but I know had I been born in some 3rd world country, I would not be where I am today. It irks me when they complain about taxes.
What we should complain about is how taxes are spent these days. The way day are spent now versus the past is what is hurting the US, not the fact that we tax people.
This 'article' is proof positive that NBC is indeed the propaganda mouthpiece for Obama. Sleepy well, little president, NBC has your back...and front and all things inbetween. Goodnight sleepy little Obama supporters, NBC will cover everything glowing and wonderful about your president. Awwww...

Looks like president Obama will campaign in 57 states this election.

WAPO/ABC POLL: INDEPENDENT VOTERS MOVING TO ROMNEY
The latest Washington Post/ABC tracking poll shows voters moving toward Romney since the third debate:
As Romney hits 50, the president stands at 47 percent, his lowest tally in Post-ABC polling since before the national party conventions. A three-point edge gives Romney his first apparent advantage in the national popular vote, but it is not one that is statistically significant with a conventional level of 95 percent confidence.
Results from the tracking poll were first released Monday evening, and had Obama at 49 percent, and Romney at 48. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the results were flipped, with Romney at 49 and the president at 48. All of the results are among likely voters.
Two of the four nights reported here include interviews conducted entirely after Monday's debate in Boca Raton
THE POLL SHOWS ROMNEY WINNING INDEPENDENTS BY 19 PERCENTAGE POINTS!!!
Should that advantage stick, it would be the sharpest tilt among independents in a presidential election since Ronald Reagan's 1984 landslide win. (Reagan won independent and other unaffiliated voters 63 to 36 percent, according to the exit poll). Obama won them by eight in 2008.
BYE BYE OBUMBO!!!!

NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE BY MITT ROMNEY ON AUTO BAILOUT 11/19/2008 (LINK BELOW)
READ IT AND REALIZE OBAMA IS LYING TO YOU!!!! ABOUT EVERYTHING!
"The American auto industry is vital to our national interest as an employer and as a hub for manufacturing. A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs. It would permit the companies to shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs. The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk."

I wonder if Mr. Obama made it to 57, no.....58, and one more to go States during this election.
Yep, on the road again and not looking out after National and International affairs.......Un-Presidential.
Government Motors.
Yep, Mr. Obama saved the auto industry.
Expect GM to ask for another BAILOUT AFTER the Presidential elections.....just like everything else this administration does.
Ido - since you're really good in analyzing stuff, can you do the flip assessment if BO doesn't bailed out the auto industry? Don't give me that bullcrap about Romney wants to save auto industry too. that's just flat lie and for those people who think otherwise, please donate your brain to a monkey, they might have a better use for it.
Lucu- that's pretty easy...GM would actually had made changes that would make them profitable...and the US tax payers would not have lost all the money used to bail them out! Really, its that simple!
Actually, the Federal government has already made back the money paid in the bailout. We have over a million people who have been paying taxes for the years since the bailout.
As has often been mentioned before, there was no private capital to have supported GM and bail it out at the time. Even Republicans has admitted that. GM would simply have had to close its doors and the supply chain companies down the line would then have to close theirs, putting over a million people out of work. In such a deep recession, these people would not have been able to find jobs and would have been collecting unemployment.
Instead, when Obama saved the industry, these people kept on working - and paying taxes. The American taxpayer saved on not having to support these people, and instead, received the benefit of these people paying taxes - and that's not including the fact that the GM employees are spending money, which also helps the economy; more people have jobs; and THESE people also pay taxes.
It's the same with Obamacare - an often overlooked benefit to Obamacare is that if everyone is insured, they are going to go to the doctor when they feel ill, rather than living with chronic pain. A healthier workforce is a more productive workforce. A more productive workforce is a workforce that makes more money. And a more workforce that makes more money pays more taxes. Which all helps the taxpayer.
GM is already profitable with the bailout. It is profitable now. Furthermore, earnings growth over the next 5 years is projected to be +13.70%.
As a taxpayer, all I really care about is that they be able to pay their expenses and pay their employees. I don't care how profitable they are, beyond being able to pay for themselves. So long as they are making more than $0, we are receiving taxes on their income and their employees' incomes.
We don't want GM to be too profitable. As taxpayers, we would prefer that they pay their employees more so that the government can collect more taxes on the higher salaries. This will reduce the deficit, which is a burden on all of us.
As I have pointed out earlier, this is already more than covered by the employees paying taxes.
This is a good thing. It means that the treasury collects taxes on this, and it goes towards reducing the national debt. All of your points are about how much money that GM employees are making. Well, that's good. It's better that they make it, and then the money enters the economy. Much better than sitting in a bank in the Cayman Islands or Switzerland and doing nothing for Americans.
We want American workers to be prosperous.
When everything is considered, the GM bailout has been extremely good for the American taxpayer.
Two questions :-
How many of these were wounded in wars that Obama has started?

General Motors produces cars and trucks in 31 countries.
Did any of these other countries burden their taxpayers with a bail out.??
A extortionists dream come true. (Taxpayer Guaranteed)!!!!!!!!
Ryan is being hidden in Alabama and other out of the way places because his radical positions are obvious and Robme wants to hide them. Also, Romney, to his shame, has refused to take back his endorsement of another enemy of women's rights--the senatorial candidate from Indiana who thinks that children of rape are God's wish and that God sanctions that. Women== wake up- stand up for women not just for the dems or repubs. We need to stand together. Being a woman is more and greater than a political affiliation and if you don't want to be without contraceptives, the right to control your body, equal pay, and support of women's health issues, by all means vote against your gender and let men decide your fate. Please give this a rational and good thought. Romeny will be the puppet of the right and once he gets in you will be without recourse.
Obama Rules and Romney is a Fool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama-Biden 2012!
COinFL, "SALUTE" *** !!!!!!!!!
"Obama rules", is soo close to the truth it is SCARY..!!
This guy has issued 923 executive orders in three and a half years.!! If you don't get the implications your not paying attention. During my lifetime, all Presidents have issued executive orders for reasons that vary, some more than others.
When a President issued as many as 30 Ex. orders during a term in office, people thought there was something amiss.
What do you think about 923 Executive Orders in one part of one term?
Yes, there is a reason. It is that the President is determined to take control from the House & Senate.
He should be questioned. What is he really trying to accomplish?
Remember what he told Russia's Putin: "I'll be more flexible after I'm re-elected."
SOCIALISM is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.!! ~Winston Churchill~
Once again, I am throwing down the gauntlet! How many of the hardline right-wingers who frequent this site are nothing but big-talking, whiny, hypocritical cowards? Let's find out!
For three days, I've made this same challenge- five different times now, sometimes calling out my conservative antagonists by name. So far, I haven't gotten one single response. This kind of craven, slimy pusillanimity does not surprise me in the least, but I'm going to issue it one more time, because, well, because I don't drink alcohol but have an insatiable thirst for the blood of America- hating swine!
OK, boys, girls, and undecideds: I have just two simple questions for you. Answer directly and honsetly- if you can!- no deflecting, no coming back at me with, "Obama, sputter, hack, Benghazi, transcripts, gag, hurl..." Stick to the script and answer me these two not-at-all-complicated questions.
What has the Republican Party done for you since the 2010 midterm elections? Can you name one specific thing that the Republican- controlled House has passed- or proposed- or even discussed, for Dog's sake!- that has benefitted you and yours in any way?
Second, please tell me what principles or policy positions Mitt Romney has held consistently throughout his entire political career. What is the core of the man? What are the beliefs about which he feels so strongly that he'll remain loyal to them unto death? (Apart from his stated belief that he deserves to be President because, you know, it's his turn.) Lay out for me those beliefs that he's never once waffled or flip-flopped. Just one example will suffice.
There it is, Righties! Is there one Republican out there who has the least little bit of sack and will answer me truthfully, not with a bunch of idiotic counter- accusations? Or shall we just all agree now that you're a pack of whining cowards and your candidate is nothing but a charlatan, a puppet for Pope Grover Norquist?
Bring it on, you freedom- hating swine! I've got a Bitch-Slap of Truth(TM) all heated up and ready to go.
The republican house has passed multiple job bills but Harry Reid has tabled each and every one so that no debate can be done in the senate. The reason I know this is because I have done my research on the subject for a couple months.
Mitt Romney has held the position (consistently) that people should be able to make their own choices without government involvement, within certain parameters. You want to know them then do the research. i have work in a 5 hours and need the sleep. The work is in the biomedical field. Tata for now.
Why would you think that anyone would respond to you after you call them;
Your surprised?
Dead wrong, newHounder. Obama introduced four jobs bills last year and all four failed to pass the House.
newHounder-
Please list all the House of Representative bills you claim Senator Harry Reid "has tabled" so we can all see for ourselves.
For example: HR 1234, etc. and so forth.
Salud
Actually its 39 Bills. I'll just post the link so you can go look for yourself. If you want to list them all out for everyone to see then go ahead. Ill just put up the first few.

Review of Federal Regulations
H. Res. 72 - Passed by the House (391-28) on February 11, 2011
Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act
H.R. 872 - Senate has taken no action to date
Energy Tax Prevention Act
H.R. 910 - Senate has taken no action to date
Disapproval of FCC's Net Neutrality Regulations
H.J. Res. 37 - Senate has blocked a companion measure by a vote of 46-52
Clean Water Cooperative Federalism Act
H.R. 2018 - Senate has taken no action to date
Consumer Financial Protection & Soundness Improvement Act
H.R. 1315 - Senate has taken no action to date
Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act
H.R. 2587 - Senate has taken no action to date
The republican party has held Mr. Obama accountable for overstepping his Constitutionally granted powers!
They have also prevented Mr. Obama, Mrs. Pelosi and Mr. Reid from railroading a 1-sided agenda through a country that is nearly evenly divided.
To put it simply, the republican party is doing EXACTLY what the founders intended; REPRESENTING THEIR CONSTUTUENTS.
Had Mr. Obama understood how our government is supposed to function he would have found a middle ground from which there was gains that could be claimed by both sides. Instead he chose to be an arrogant PRICK and he poisoned all chance of getting anything done.
So perhaps you can show us where in the Constitution the POTUS has the power to:
- Ignore/Not enforce laws that he personally disagrees with
- Give exemptions to the law to supporters while withholding them from others (ever hear of EQUAL PROTECTION under the law?)
- Unilaterally re-write existing laws in violation of the laws themselves and the separation of powers which gives that power EXCLUSIVELY to the Legislative branch
- Ignore 200+ years of bankruptcy law to STEAL the ownership stake in GM from the rightful owners (secured creditors) and simply give it to the UAW as a pay-off for not making trouble during the bankruptcy proceedings
- Violate the War Powers Act by deploying US military assets without the required approval of Congress
- Promise to provide federal money to companies that are legally pursued for violating the WARN Act at the urging of the Administration so that voters are not advised of being laid off just days before the election
Face it, community organizing is not quite the way to become prepared and experienced to be POTUS.
David Noah-
Kudos.
I give you credit for posting what you did.
39 bills is alot. It might take awhile to read them.
From your above list, I haven't seen anything titled like "The American Jobs Act". which means I will have to read line by line in all 39 bills listed to see if in fact there are jobs programs you claim.
My question is simply this.
If Republicans presented 39 "jobs" bills to Senator Reid, how come Republicans couldn't join with Democrats and pass the President's jobs bill to benefit ALL Republicans, Democrats, and Independent Americans?
Salud
"Romneycare is Socialism"
This message was approved by Ayn Rand !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, Noah, the fact is that I was trying to get one of you to rise to the bait; I took my rhetoric into the gutter and, wonder of wonders, NOW I'm getting some reaction!
I dislike using such inflammatory language, but I will own up to being seriously frustrated by the lack of response.
I notice that instead of answering the questions, you just posted a list of House bills and then bailed! not to worry; your non- answer is an answer in itself. I and other fellow travellers will go over these, but I can already tell you without even looking that these bills all have two things in common; one will be a "poison pill", designed to make the bill unacceptable to the Senate or President. (An example of that would be an anti- abortion rider inserted into a transportation or an energy-regulation bill.) The other, which should be obvious just from the titles, is that very few of these bills have anything at all to do with job creation.
I'll be keeping a weather eye out for your defense of Romney when you're well-rested. In the meantime, I have to give your defense of your House a D.
Gosh, a strawman argument expects a response?
TomasGrande;
The Obama "jobs" bills needed massive spending to hire "union" workers.
We as a Nation already paid for Obama to reward his followers once, & Obama had to admit the jobs were not "shovel ready". Most likely tied up in job killing red tape.
Why didn't Obama, Pelosi and Democrats admonish the "Occupiers" behavior when they were raping women, destroying public and private property, all across this nation, etc.?

The Democrats have been completely silent about the damage the occupiers have been causing, destruction of private and public property, disrupting communities, destroying parks, putting a Guy Fawkes(an English Terrorist) mask on, and using the statue of a U.S. Historical figure as a tent pole, performing economic terrorism by shutting down ports, causing people to miss work, etc. , and Burning the American Flag.
If the right had done anything even close to what the “Occupiers” have been doing the last few months the Democrats would be on the TV and National News every night condemning the actions of the Tea Party or whoever it was that is doing it as long as it’s a right leaning group doing it
http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/09/17/pelosi-tears-up-discussing-tone-of-health-care-debate-in-america/
The right didn’t do anything and yet Nancy was shedding tears about the “fear” of the right doing something. The violence, riots, destruction, is happening now and its all being done by the Left.
Where’s the outrage, the tears, the calls for taking responsibility?
When an administration allows, and overlooks the kind of violations, disrespect of our laws, showing such disrespect to the Symbol of our country, Burning the Flag of the United States of America just like an Extremist Terrorist, What the F makes them think the “deserve” a second term?
How about apologizing to the Jewish community?

David,
That is one long post.
I just read your link to support your belief that Obama supported the OWS and even its excesses.
Well ,Here is the direct quote form his ABC interview:
“The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what you’re supposed to do, is rewarded,” Obama tells ABC News. “And that people who are irresponsible, who are reckless, who don’t feel a sense of obligation to their communities and their companies and their workers that those folks aren’t rewarded.”
I do not see where you get your interpretation of this remark.
But I hope you too David get a good night sleep , just like our President.
I know I will.
Cheer!
OK, David, I get that you're anti-occupy, even to the point of either stating or repeating lies about them. (Blockading the ports is an act of terror? I would suggest, sir,that your grasp of the Mother Tongue is somewhat lacking.)
So are you trying to tell us that you're voting for Romney because you hate Occupy?
Actually, that would be completely consistent with Republican "logic", as when we were attacked by a terrorist gang who were based in another country, so we declared war on another country that had absolutely nothing to do with that attack. Yeah, makes perfect sense to me.
David, I have to admit that I only read the first sentence that you wrote and didn't bother reading the rest. I'm sure that there are a lot of people like me who refuse to read dribble...I don't care who it comes from - democrat or republican. People don't read garbage.
It seems like Obama is getting nervous and trying to cover to much ground to quickly. Why is he in such a hurry, I thought he had this election locked up? I mean that is what MSNBC and CNN have been saying for the past couple weeks. Oh well I guess we will see how he did in a bit. Let the countdown to the Official Election Day on November 6, 2012 begin.
[Plays Jeporady waiting music and cracks open a Mountain Dew]
All of Obama's failures get the same left wing makeovers "it wasn't his fault" "the Republicans were mean to him" "Bush did it first" "he never really said he would do that" "there was something he did correctly" ... Scrape away all the excuses and the facts are still there:
On every single day of Bush's presidency, there were more people going to their jobs than on any day of Obama's presidency.
Obama has been a fumbling amateur in foreign policy, reversing himself repeatedly, supporting our enemies and disrespecting our friends.
The list of his failures is long, but what will bring him down is the fact that Obama knew it was a terrorist attack on our consulate. Had he told the truth at the time, he would have been admitting that he had committed a huge error in judgment not to grant the consulate's security request on the anniversary of 9/11. To prevent that, Obama deliberately mischaracterized the attack as a “spontaneous demonstration.” And now his lie and his incompetence are exposed!
He may thrash around like a hooked catfish. He may even be reelected. But he will eventually be brought to justice.
That's because we started losing jobs by the droves during Mr Bush's time, and the devastation continued till Obama's policies were able to take effect. Once they had taken effect, about a year or so into Mr Obama's presidency, unemployment started going down and the stock market started going up.
Furthermore, the deficit has continued to drop under President Obama. The economic recovery is one of his great successes. No rational person can call this a "failure." No, things are not nearly where anyone, including him, want this to be, but we are getting there.
The facts are I stated above. Keep in mind that every piece of policy that Mr Obama has put in place and has helped the country was put in place over the objection of Republicans. And now that the country is headed in the right direction, all we get from this is hatred. Both for Obama and for America.
Yes. We know that he knew that it was a terrorist attack. How do we know this? We know this because he called it a terrorist attack.
Where does all your hatred come from? Why do you have trouble coping with the fact that he ruined the American economy? Why do you have trouble dealing with the fact that he has restored America's standing in the world? Why do you have trouble dealing with the fact that he has done everything that an American President should be doing? What did he ever do to you? Why do you hate America's President so much?
Typo: Should be: turned around the American economy.

God Bless you and your wonderful family.

This is for FoxTrotsky. He is a perfect example of why I changed.
As I read the hundreds of comments from the intellectually superior, tolerant, forgiving, accepting, empathic, Progressives/Liberals it confirms My decision three years ago to register as an Independent instead of a Democrat and stop voting along party lines.
What happened to the Democratic party?
I voted for Bill Clinton Twice because I believed he was the better candidate. I always voted for Democrats for House and Senate members etc.
Basically I voted along party lines, I voted Democrat.
I will argue that Bill Clinton is still the Best President we have had in a Long time.
I believed Republicans were greedy politicians that only looked out for themselves, the rich, corporations etc. I believed all the Lefts talking points and stereo types about Conservatives while accepting as truth their own descriptions of themselves as being for the common people, Protecting the poor and middle class, only serving the interests of the people, etc.
Maybe I just felt that if I said I was a Democrat, Progressive, Liberal etc. that would somehow mean I was intellectually superior, more tolerant, forgiving etc. and a better human being who cared for others?
I believe in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, the Divine trinity, but I haven't been to a Church in two decades because I believe organized religion has become corrupt. That's not God's fault that's Humanities fault. I can't blame God or Jesus, and why should I lose faith in them, because of Humanities shortcomings?
Isn't that the message from God? Treat others the way you want to be treated? Help others when you can? Do no Harm? Respect everyone and everything and don't judge others because that is God's job not yours? Turn the other cheek?
Isn't that basically the same as the Progressive/Liberal Message about tolerance, respect, etc.?
Three years ago, because of the health care debate, I started following and researching Politics in more than just a passing interest. After all I have children, and the ACA was going to impact every citizen, and 1/6 of our economy, and I Have a duty to my children to leave the country better than when we inherited it if we can. At the very least not cause any damage to it and leave it in the same condition that we received it in.
I created a Newsvine account, I even wrote a couple of articles, I participated in many of the discussions just as we are doing now. What surprised me was how different my views and opinions were from those that considered themselves on the Left, Liberal, or Progressive.
I was shocked at how many "Republicans are Racists", "Tea Baggers are Homophobes", "Conservatives are all Bigots" etc articles were constantly being written on the Vine to try and stereotype them. I would post a comment and if it wasn't in agreement with the Left I would get called a Tin foil hat wearing, Racist, Homophobe, hater,etc.
But wait a minute I always voted Democrat, I consider myself a Liberal, I don't believe in the Church, I think we have an obligation to help the poor, abortion is a choice, etc. Why am I being called a Racist, Biggot, hater, etc simply because my opinion isn't the same?
Is something wrong with Me?
Aren't Progressives, Liberals, supposed to be the forgiving, tolerant, intelligent ones that have compassion and understanding so why am I being attacked for my views simply because others don't agree with them?
Does being a "Progressive" or a "Liberal" mean I have to Lie about Conservatives? Do I have to make stuff up that isn't true? Do I have to try and stereotype them and call them Racists, Biggots, etc even though I know that's not true?
Does being a progressive mean pretending to be something your really not, tolerant, Respecting, understanding, forgiving, intellectual, etc.?
Just look at all the comments about Romney here on this discussion. All the Lies, Made up facts, Distortions, ridicule, etc. that's being done by Liberal/Progressives.
I would be ashamed to call myself a Democrat, Liberal, or Progressive now that I have seen what they truly are, stand for, and my eyes have opened.
That is why I am now a Proud Independent.
I can have my conservative views, I can have my liberal views, and if you don't like them to God Damn Bad.
Call me a Racist, Bigot, Homophobe, Wing Nut, Republican, Extremist, etc. because it doesn't bother me one damn bit and all your doing is reinforcing my new found discovery, actually 3 years old now, that Progressives/Liberals are no more tolerant, Intellectual, etc than any other group of people.
In a Way they are even worse because they are the ones pretending to be something their not which is why I won’t pretend to be one and would be ashamed to call myself one.
Sorry, I accidentally gave up an up vote. You're another person who whines all the time.
David..there are many of us just like you, that always voted Democrat for exactly all the same reasons you sited. Myself, many of my friends, co-workers and family, now consider ourselves recovering Liberals. We will now vote for who has the abilty to make this country strong again..That will be Romney/Ryan.
Interesting. I used to be a Republican, but simply could not stomach the hatred coming out of the Republican party.
Yes, there are always people who will hate. There are people who hate because that is the way they are and there are such people on both sides.
When General Colin Powell endorsed Obama, we were told that the only reason that Mr Powell had endorsed Obama was because they are both black, and no other reason.
Not because Obama saved the economy. Not because Obama ended one war and is in the process of ending another. Not because Obama oversaw taking out the worst terrorist this country has ever known. Not because Obama put America on a solid footing again.
No, we are supposed to believe that General Colin Powell, Secretary of State under President Bush, endorsed Obama because both General Powell and President Obama are black. If some random person said it, it could be ignored. But this was said by the co-Chair of the Romney campaign.
Yes - there is hatred on both sides. The difference is that the hatred on the Republican party comes from the top. And that is why I have voted for Obama.
The country is already strong. Obama has reduced the deficit and it continues to go down; the economy is getting stronger, people are getting back to work. We are no longer bleeding in two wars, one needless and the other horribly mismanaged.
We do not need a return to the policies that created this mess in the first place. Obama's policies are proven to have worked. Yes, they are not working as fast as anyone wants. I would like 5% unemployment too, but we are headed in the right direction. We do not need change. We do not need to turn around. We need to just keep going.
Indeed. This is the classical bully. Abuses and slings mud with great abandon, but if anyone stands up to them, turns into the injured party and starts complaining about how terrible you are.
I really love the arrogance of the liberal posters such as Mr. Grande. They talk down to everyone and try to emit this persona of being just so much more intelligent then everyone else. I wonder that the day after the election if they will still be so smug. I am predicting we will hear racism, voter fraud and voter suppression!
Leading congressional lawmakers applied new pressure to the Obama administration Thursday for information on the Libya terror attack, after emails published this week showed top officials being told within hours that a local militant group had claimed responsibility.
Republicans are using the alert on Sept. 11, contained in State Department emails, to challenge initial claims by administration officials that attackers were reacting to protests over an anti-Islam film.
House Speaker John Boehner, in a lengthy letter sent to President Obama on Thursday, called on the president to "explain to the American people" what happened.
"The American public is increasingly reading information contradicting early accounts by your administration of the causes of the events of the day," Boehner said. "In the absence of your direct engagement to clarify these concerns, the public's frustration and confusion is likely to discredit efforts to achieve our shared goals of justice and accountability for the direct assault on American interests and the deaths of four public servants."
Obama pretended that he didn't know and lied for two weeks in order to hide his incompetence and now he is caught. This one is NOT going to be swept under the rug. New information is surfacing every day.
.... YOU WANT TO BLAME OBAMA FOR WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE EAST? Not to discount the American loss of those four men killed ... May God bless them and their families ....
THIS IS WHAT BUSH DID or DIDN'T DO ON AMERICAN SOIL ....
What Bush Knew Before Sept.11
"We were trying to figure out what they (al Qaeda) would do. We never had specifics about time, place, MO (method of operation)."
U.S. intelligence official, commenting anonymously.
President Bush was told in the months before the Sept. 11 attacks that Osama bin Laden's terrorist network might hijack U.S. passenger planes - information which prompted the administration to issue an alert to federal agencies - but not the American public.
CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin says the warning was in a document called the President's Daily Brief, which is considered to be the single most important document that the U.S. intelligence community turns out. The document did not, however, mention the possibility of planes being flown
into buildings.
An agent in the FBI's Arizona office did, however, speculate about that, writing in his case notes about Zacarias Moussaoui that Moussaoui seemed like the type of person who was capable of flying an aircraft into the World Trade Center.
It was the observation of an agent taking notes as he thought about his case - an observation whose significance simply did not register at the time.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer says that while President Bush was told last summer that bin Laden's al Qaeda network might hijack planes, he did not receive information suggesting that airplanes might be used as suicide bombs, as they were on Sept. 11.
Fleischer emphasizes that "until the attack took place, I think it's fair to say that no one envisioned that as a possibility."
The revelation about the president's security briefing comes as House and Senate Intelligence Committee investigators prepare for public hearings beginning next month on whether an intelligence community which spends $30 billion a year should have been able to provide a more specific warning in advance of Sept. 11.
The New York Times reports that an FBI agent in Arizona warned his superiors last summer that bin Laden might be sending students to U.S. flight schools.
Investigators have since Sept. 11 suspected bin Laden's al Qaeda network of masterminding the terror attacks on America, which killed more than 3,000 people.
Republicans don't want to see the bigger picture .... the middle east has been at war since forever ... the attacks on the embassy happened in the middle east .... Bush was for-warned too ... and did nothing and they attacked us AMERICAN SOIL .... HUGE DIFFERENCE .....
MIDDLE EAST - 4 KILLED
AMERICAN SOIL - 3000 KILLED .... YES REPUBLICANS EXPLAIN THAT ONE .....
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA .... AND AMERICA VOTE FOR OBAMA 2012
PRESIDENT OBAMA, ENDORSED BY (REPUBLICAN) COLIN POWELL!
"Powell praised the president's handling of the economy and ending of the Iraq War.
"'I think we ought to keep on the track we are on," he said. . . .
"He said Romney's foreign policy was a 'moving target.' 'One day he has a certain strong view about staying in Afghanistan, but then on Monday night he agrees with the withdrawal. Same thing in Iraq. On every issue that was discussed on Monday night, Gov. Romney agreed with the president with some nuances. But this is quite a different set of foreign policy views than he had earlier in the campaign.'"

VOTE DEM!
:-)
But, But, But, . . . . He was the guy who told us all about the weapons of mass destruction????
It really disturbs me to think that someone who would tell a young woman who finds herself pregnant after being brutally raped that she should consider her pregnancy as a gift from God, may possibly be making decisions that affect all Americans in the halls of Congress might get elected. I only hope and pray that all thinking Americans will Vote against this LUNACY and elect Democrats to congress, as well as re-elect Obama/Biden 2012.
Totally agree, AirWave!
It is horrible & tragic that 25% of girls/women will be raped at sometime during their lives. . .
also that that nearly half of them are girls under 18 . . .
and further, that in many states, the rapist has the same parental rights (despite rape being a felony in most states) as the mother, should she choose to carry the pregnancy to term. And so after the trauma of sexual assault, she is further victimized by having to negotiate (by law) with the rapist who made her pregnant, over child support & custody issues. . . until that child is 18.
I can hardly believe this is still going on in the 21st century.
VOTE DEM - your life depends on it!
Uninstalling Obama......... █████████████▒▒▒ 92% complete
I wish the President had put a little more time into his economic plan for the next 4 years. Because so little information has been presented it is difficult to evaluate. Estimated annual budgets might make the plan at least appear to be possible.
I have read the President's economic plan for the next 4 years. The plan lacks a lot of details including a budget. Our President has no sense of budget so apparently that is why that most important part is missing. The most important part of it associated with our future is the following:
The President promised that the 2012 federal deficit would not exceed 229.27 billion dollars but the deficit actually exceeded 1.1 trillion dollars. If the President had kept his promise then this plan might make some sense but he didn't so the plan doesn't. There is other verbage in the plan about both saving and spending but not much in the way of numbers. There are goals but not much about how much is it is going to cost to achieve those goals. Being a little optimistic I am assuming that the current deficit will continue for at least the next several years as a baseline. The President, as he has for the past 4 years, wants to increase taxes on the "rich" which if passed will take 100 billion dollars per year from the private sector and give it to the public sector for the President to play around with. The congress has not budged on this issue over the past 4 years but assuming that it does pass this would reduce the baseline deficit down to 1 trillion dollars per year.
The President's plan it to bring the troops home in 2014 so by 2015 the Federal government will no longer have any expenses regarding any foreign wars. For Obama's plan to work this peace dividend will have to be greater then 2 trillion dollars per year. To start paying off the debt the federal government has to run a surplus so according to the plan half of the peace dividend must be greater than 1 trillion dollars so the entire peace dividend must be greater 2 trillion dollars. 2 trillion dollars is more than twice our current annual defense expenditures including what we are paying on foreign wars. The peace dividend cannot possibly be what Obama needs for his plan to succeed so Obama's economic plan is mathematically impossible according to my analysis. For Obama's economic plan to be taken seriously a full budgetary analysis of it is required.
Can you show us any place where he said "I promise that this is where the deficit will be?"
More importantly, when he "made this promise" can you tell us if he was aware of the devastation that the Bush years had caused? Or was he just offering projections on the basis of what was known at the time?
Let me offer you some real perspective, not these fantasies that you are plucking out of your fevered dreams: 30 months of continued drop in the unemployment rate. A continued reduction in the deficit. Wall Street at the near record highs. Record profits for American companies achieved during the Obama years.
Grave Statement for you democrat.......
http://www.snopes.com/photos/signs/grigsby.asp
It isn't, or shouldn't be, only about the jobs and money for Ohio - when you vote for Obama, you get the added bonus of knowing that you are voting for a qualified, seasoned, honest and trustworthy PRESIDENT (not a CEO who looks at you solely through the eyes of a "bean counter").
Yes, a former community organizer who cannot keep his promises on the economy. A guy who has no sense of budget and has run up some of the largest deficits ever. The President failed to cut the deficit in half in four years as he promised that he would but if reelected surely he will have doubled our debt in 8.
Unless Romney has received word from Adelson or the Koch Brothers that DieBold and the other corporate vote tabulators have perfected a methodology by which the election can be thrown without any chance of detection, the only possible explanation for his campaign forfeiting the third presidential debate and essentially sending Ryan off to Invisible-land at this critical stage would have to be ....well, there simply ISN'T a rational explanation.
Uh oh...
Magic tonic,
Please let us know how many troops were killed/wounded in Iraq, Bush's Fantasy Football War.
So, you ignore that the Afgh war continues and two Americans were killed today by a Affie soldier. You forget that oboy said in 08 I'll close Gitmo.NOT. Where's your agenda?
Obama gets hoarse or horse? Did he get bayonets? PATRIOTIC AMERICAN/GOD BLESS AMERICA is the same blogger trolling this site. Are you getting those patriotic $$$ from dems???? Get lost PA.
Romney has a dancing horse.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters are asking for your help! Copy it, Paste it and sand it to everyone you know and everyone you don't know.

OBAMA 4 MORE YEARS
Obama's auto plan fired non-union employees, raided their well funded pension & gave it to the Unions that love him soooo much.
Obama had dealerships closed down that had been very profitable, but did not play by the union rules, or had a democrat - competitor near by.
This is the real face of Mitt Romney! "I understand business needs to make a profit. But this product has always made a ton of money. It's just that they think it is not enough money. They are greedy," said Tom Gaulraupp, who has put in 33 years at the plant and is facing the prospect of becoming jobless at the age of 54.
Mark Shreck, a 36-year-old father-of-three, confessed he was one of the few workers not surprised by the layoffs, as this is the second time his job has moved to China. "I feel this is what companies do nowadays," he said. Freeport mayor George Gaulrapp
The Freeport workers have appealed to Bain and Romney to save their plant. The local town council, several Illinois politicians and the state's Democratic governor have all rallied to their cause. "This company is competitive globally. They make a profit here. But Bain Capital decided to squeeze it a little further. That is not what capitalism is meant to be about," said Freeport mayor George Gaulrapp, 52, pictured.
The anger towards Bain and Romney is palpable. Romney has become the target for the emotions of a community who built lives based on the idea of a steady manufacturing job: a concept out of place in the sort of fluid buy-and-sell world from which Bain prospers. "I didn't have a clue what Bain was before this happened," said Cheryl Randecker, 52. "Now when I hear Romney speak it makes me sick to my stomach." The real face of Mitt Romney. Romney CEO of Bain Capital buys profitable American plants and ships it overseas. Mostly to China. 50,000 American Plants in total were sold. Romney will not be a President of Freedom, But one of dictatorship as he did as governor of Massachusetts. Romney holds the most veto of all times. Romney never worked with the Democratic Party. From All the people of Massachusetts, say that Romney is a two face liar. All the people of Illinois say that Romney is Un-American. We the People, for the People, Please do not vote for the un-American in office. Romney will so to all Americans as he did to us. God Please helps America in her and her People in this time of need. Thank you and God bless you all.
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE! I believe that the American way of life is at a turning point in our society, between true freedom and false freedom. When your employer (boss) suggests in any way who you should vote for or you will lose your job, that employer is taking away one's freedom of The First amendment, which addresses the rights of; freedom of religion (prohibiting Congress from establishing a religion and protecting the right to free exercise of religion), freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of petition. When each American votes, that is the freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of petition. There has always been talk of an American female's right to freedom of choice, voting, abortion, birth control, sex education, healthy pregnancies, equal pay and a lot more. So it comes down to this. Are we as a society of Freedom or not? Do Americans believe in the Constitution for the United States of America, The Preamble sets out the origin, scope and purpose of the Constitution. Its origin and authority is in "We, the people of the United States". This echoes the Declaration of Independence. "One people" dissolved their connection with another, and assumed among the powers of the earth, a sovereign nation-state. The scope of the Constitution is twofold. First, "to form a more perfect Union" than had previously existed in the "perpetual Union" of the Articles of Confederation. Second, to "secure the blessings of liberty", which were to be enjoyed by not only the first generation, but for all who came after, "our posterity".
This is an itemized social contract of democratic philosophy. It details how the more perfect union was to be carried out between the national government and the people. The people are to be provided (a) justice, (b) civil peace, (c) common defense, (d) those things of a general welfare that they could not provide themselves, and (e) freedom. A government of "liberty and union, now and forever" unfolds when "We" begin and establish this Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If you still believe that this is what America is all about, then we the people are at that point in time of what is the right thing to do. Our government is open to us to see for ourselves who within the government is doing what is the right thing for the people, or one of Political Power and Corporate Control over the God given rights of true American Freedom. Before you vote take a real good look and you will see what I have seen. There are 32 Bills to put Americans back into the work place. Every republican Representative and the Senate as voted No every time! Only the Democratic Party has voted YES every time. If all the Bills were passed unemployment would be at 4.3% right now and if all American corporations were taxes and fined for moving overseas and/or paid taxes were would Americans lives be right now. All Americans need to keep an open Government so we the people can keep an eye on what they are doing. Who is voting for us and who is not? We must vote all the time and vote out who is not for us. Please vote Democrat all the way down the line for the next four years or just do not vote for Romney. Please don't take my word. Take the time and look for yourself. Don't vote because of religious belief, political party or for what Race of human you are. We are all Americans! Vote because you believe in what America stands for. Freedom! To help people that cannot help them self.
Thank you and God bless the United States of American and the Freedom of her People
Thanks to Mitt Romney CEO of Bain Capital sold 50,000 American Business overseas and to China in the last 28 years. Take a real good look at the town of Freeport that is going on right now in America. Go on you tube and see the American face of Romney's victims! This is whom you would vote into office?
Obama 4 more years
The Reality: As the nation's economy grew and the median income rose, under Romney, Massachusetts plummeted from 36th to 47th out of 50 states in job creation, and the median income declined. Romney as
Mitt Romney refuses to release his tax returns from the years prior to 2010. WHY?
Why is mitt romney getting away with Illegal Campaign Donations from China?
Mitt Romney said-There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. ... My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." -Mitt Romney, in leaked comments from a fundraiser in May 2012
What do you think he will do for us if he gets in office?
THE REPUBLICAN TERRORISTS PARTY!
Mitt Romney's campaign got into a dustup with the Washington Post after the newspaper reported that Bain Capital, the private equity firm the GOP presidential candidate founded, invested in several US companies that outsourced jobs to China and India. The campaign indignantly demanded a retraction, claiming that these businesses did not send jobs overseas while Romney was running Bain, and the Post stood by its investigation. Yet there is another aspect to the Romney-as-outsourcer controversy. According to government documents reviewed by Mother Jones, Romney, when he was in charge of Bain, invested heavily in a Chinese manufacturing company that depended on US outsourcing for its profits—and that explicitly stated that such outsourcing was crucial to its success.

This previously unreported deal runs counter to Romney's tough talk on the campaign trail regarding China. "We will not let China continue to steal jobs from the United States of America," Romney declared in February. But with this investment, Romney sought to make money off a foreign company that banked on American firms outsourcing manufacturing overseas.
OBAMA 4MORE YEARS
Give Obama 4 more years
The Republican Party has voted no to the Rebuild America bills! Why? Because of Political Power and Corporate Control over the God given rights of true American Freedom. President Obama give this bill to Congress two years ago. this one bill will make up to 60 million good paying Americans jobs here at home for the next 20 years! Unemployment would be at 4.3% right now! Call your Share it, use it or loss your Freedom to the American dream. Please do not take my word! Look yourself before you vote!

Mitt Romney Cofounder and CEO of Bain Capital and CEO of Bain & Company Profession Management consultant, Venture capitalist, Private equity has sold 50,000 American Business overseas and to China in the last 28 years. He does not care about the poor, Because Romney is the one makes Americans poor. Take a real good look at the town of Freeport. Go on you tube and see the American face of Romney's victims! This is whom you would vote into office? Take a real good look!
So before you talk about thing get the facts! I worked my butt off 5 to 6 days a week 8 to 12-hour workday for 40 years and I have been out of work for over a year now! I am now 56 years old and my wife is 53. We have been together for 39 years. We were born in the same hospital. We went to all the same schools and we started dating, she we 14 years old. I am sick over this, my wife is sick over this.
Do you think it is a joke for us? Do you think we are having fun? Who did this to my family and me? The two face low life liar,
Mitt Romney Cofounder and CEO of Bain Capital! That's who!
FREEPORT, Ill. - The 170 remaining workers at the Sensata plant in Freeport, Ill., who will lose their jobs to China thanks to Mitt Romney's Bain Capital, will star in a new film about their struggle, to be released Oct. 26.
Behind Your Back, to be available from Stone Soup Studios on DVD, and especially to unionists and their allies, portrays "the heroic struggle of the Bain/Sensata workers to preserve their honor and dignity amid this sad assault on their wellbeing and livelihood," producer/director Alder Lakish told the United Auto Workers.
Lakish's film is the second pictorial revelation of the closure of Sensata at Bain's orders. On Oct. 10, the Steelworkers posted a video on YouTube highlighting not just the closure of the Freeport plant and shipment of its machinery and jobs to China, but low pay - 99 cents-$1.35 an hour - and terrible conditions that Chinese workers at Sensata suffer. Bain is closing Freeport on Nov. 4, two days before the election.
Lakish and his crew were filming during protests in front of the Sensata plant loading dock earlier in October, when three people were arrested for blocking trucks that carried Sensata's machinery away for shipment to China.
Bain, owned by GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, owns Sensata. Romney denies knowledge of the closure, but documents disclosed in the prior sale show Romney-owned funds invested heavily in Sensata - and that Bain's purchase of the firm depended on closure of the Freeport plant and shipment of its machines and jobs to China. The protesting Freeport workers set up a tent city, called "Bainport."
In preparation for the closure, Bain sent Chinese engineers to Freeport to be trained by the remaining U.S. Sensata engineers. The Chinese told one Freeport engineer that when the machines arrive in China, the first move there would be to remove worker safety devices, to allow speedier production.
"In political and economic journalism, a story like the struggle of Sensata workers to keep their jobs from being outsourced to China often is communicated as numbers-in this case the 170 workers who are losing their jobs," Lakish told UAW. "But as a narrative filmmaker I am interested in the human side of this story. Who are these people? Especially, who are these brave few who are willing to risk the repercussions of standing up and confronting this huge corporation called Bain Capital who owns Sensata?"
He also is using the film to document the impact of outsourcing on the personal lives of the Sensata workers and their families. Closure of Freeport is "great political treachery and betrayal of these long held American values that seems to be engrained into the very DNA of a corporate raiding and asset stripping structure like that of Bain Capital," Lakish said.
Now do you thing what the Republican Party and Romney is doing to us is a JOKE?
