Obama aide explains 'voting is best revenge' comment

MENTOR, OH - A day after President Obama’s “voting is the best revenge” comment became the latest object of GOP nominee Mitt Romney’s ire, Obama campaign press secretary Jen Psaki sought to explain the context of the remark.

“The message he was sending,” she said, answering a question about it while traveling to Mentor, Ohio, with reporters on Air Force One, “is if you don’t like the policies, if you don’t like the plan that Gov. Romney is putting forward, if you think that’s a bad deal for the middle class, then you can go to the voting booth and cast your ballot. It’s nothing more complicated than that.”

President Obama continued his tour through Ohio with a campaign stop in Springfield, Oh., where he continued to criticize Governor Romney for running deceptive Jeep ads saying "This is not a game, these are people's jobs."

Obama’s offhand comment came Friday during a campaign rally in Springfield, Ohio, as supporters booed the mention of Romney’s name.

“Don't boo. Vote,” Obama said first, using a line that has become standard for him on the stump. “Voting's the best revenge,” he continued.

Earlier Saturday, Romney condemned the comment as overly negative, telling a crowd in Newington, N.H., that he thought it “surprised a lot of people.”

“Vote for revenge? Let me tell you what I’d like to tell you: Vote for love of country,” Romney said to cheers.

On Nov. 6, when the voters reject Bush and his policies one more time..I think...it's the best revenge you can get.

Mitt is just old wine (same old Bush policies) in an old bottle (was Mitt in his 90s?). Just because Mitt doesn't need medicare, it doesn't mean he should take it away from our beloved grandma and grandpa.

What I DON'T get is how ANY American can still be "undecided" with more than two weeks to go (and apparently, some even less) to an election.

"Undecided": WHERE in bloody hell have you been scuttled? You don't keep up with the times? You don't know "ANYTHING" yet about the candidates or 'who you'll even vote for'? SCREW U: STAY HOME AND DON'T BOTHER VOTING. If you're not going to take voting seriously by following primaries and what follows; if you're not going to bother to tune in until there are mere weeks (or days) to go - then don't do it at ALL. Peope that are still 'undecided' at this point are too damn stupid to vote: it makes me sick. There are people in the world that don't have the power to vote to change anything in their lives, and for you to slag it off in this manner and treat it like it is unimportant says volumes about where your heads are actually AT.

Next time, try harder at KEEPING UP.

Typical Progressive tactic.

That is almost like telling Senator McCain to sit down and shut up at a Universal Health Care Reform legislation meeting with Mr. Obama who said "WE WON"......meaning my way or the highway.

yeah...they always steal, many Republicans and conservatives...

  • higher gas prices..big oil steals from the middle class, then blame on the President
  • GOP's wall street bankers steal from us - thus recession
  • Bush tax cuts for the rich who steal from us - thus wealth gap and Mitt has his reason to hate the bottom 47%
  • Cheney's Haliburton that overcharged the government during Iraqi war...and Cheney also became super rich...they steal from us.

These thiefs want to come back into the White House to steal more. We the People should show up and vote and stop more GOP theft.

Here's what the non partisan Congressional Research Service has to say about cutting taxes to increase income. (Summary below)

Throughout the late-1940s and 1950s, the top marginal tax rate was typically above 90%; today it is 35%. Additionally, the top capital gains tax rate was 25% in the 1950s and 1960s, 35% in the 1970s; today it is 15%. The real GDP growth rate averaged 4.2% and real per capita GDP increased annually by 2.4% in the 1950s. In the 2000s, the average real GDP growth rate was 1.7% and real per capita GDP increased annually by less than 1%.

There is not conclusive evidence, however, to substantiate a clear relationship between the 65-year steady reduction in the top tax rates and economic growth. Analysis of such data suggests the reduction in the top tax rates have had little association with saving, investment, or productivity growth. However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.

The share of income accruing to the top 0.1% of U.S. families increased from 4.2% in 1945 to 12.3% by 2007 before falling to 9.2% due to the 2007-2009 recession. The evidence does not suggest necessarily a relationship between tax policy with regard to the top tax rates and the size of the economic pie, but there may be a relationship to how the economic pie is sliced.

Since Romney's whole platform is refuted by these findings, Senator Mitch McConnell (R) blocked the release of the Report. It surfaced again in the Nov 1 2012 New York Times.

Let's recap. Those of us who are voting for Obama are Libtards. Socialists. Communists. Unamerican. Takers who won't take responsibility for our own lives.

Obama himself is a Muslim born in Kenya, with a secret radical agenda to destroy the American way of life. He is to blame for the economic crisis. He forced the House to obstruct his policies. He is the food stamp president who wants the public dependent on government. Etc. Etc.

On top of that, Romney has run the sleaziest campaign I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them.

I understand why he said 'revenge'. Those of us who had to watch the extremists in Washington break our government in order to stop the agenda WE VOTED FOR, to deny us the consequences of our votes, would like to see a little political payback.

The President's efforts to solve our unemployment problem and to control the deficit have not worked. The President's economic plan for the next four years is devoid of detail and budget and is mathematically impossible.

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

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

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

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

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

Updated for Noon EST on Saturday, November 3, 2012:

*** Spoiler alert: The overnight numbers from both RCP and FiveThirtyEight broke quickly, repeatedly, and decidedly in President Obama's favor.

--------------------------------------------------

Real Clear Politics (RCP) consistently has been the "go-to" source for accurate averaged daily polling data for both FOXNEWS and NBCNEWS. With only 60 hours left to go in the 2012 presidential campaign, RCP continues to report that Obama holds increasing leads in eight of their 11 toss-up states while Romney clings to smaller and more static leads in the remaining three.

In descending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Obama, followed in ascending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Romney, here are the published averaged numbers from RCP as of Noon EST together with the most recent FiveThirtyEight election night probabilities of victory for either candidate:

In WISCONSIN, with 10 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 5.4%, up from 5.0% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 94.2% chance of victory here, up by 0.9% overnight and by an astounding 8.5% since Tuesday.

In PENNSYLVANIA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead is holding at 4.6%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 96.6% chance of victory here, up by 0.5% overnight and by a respectable 2.5% since Tuesday.

In MICHIGAN, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 3.5%, up from 3.0% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 98.6% chance of victory here, up 0.2% overnight and by 0.5% since Tuesday.

In OHIO, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.9%, up from 2.6% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 83.8% chance of victory here, up by 3.1% overnight and by an astonishing 10.5% since Tuesday.

In NEVADA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.7%, up from 2.4% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 88.7% chance of victory here, up by 1.5% overnight and by an astounding 9.0% since Tuesday.

In IOWA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.0%, up from 1.3% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 80.7% chance of victory here, down interestingly by 0.9% overnight but up overall by a substantial 6.8% since Tuesday.

In NEW HAMPSHIRE, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 1.8%, up from 1.3% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 80.4% chance of victory here, up by 1.7% overnight and by an astonishing 10.1% since Tuesday.

In COLORADO, with 9 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 1.0%, up from 0.9% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 67.9% chance of victory here, up by 2.2% overnight and by an astronomical 12.5% since Tuesday.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In VIRGINIA, with 13 electoral votes, Romney's lead has fallen to 0.3%, down from 0.5% on Friday. Interestingly, FiveThirtyEight increased Obama's chance of victory here (and not Romney's) to 67.0%, up 2.2% overnight. Nate Silver must be seeing something...

In FLORIDA, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead has risen to 1.4%, up from 1.2% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 54.8% chance of victory here, but this margin is actually down a stunning 9.9% from Tuesday.

It should be noted that RCP's average in Florida does appear to have been hyper-inflated by two recent outlier findings in favor of Romney, the first a 6.0% margin today from the unapologetically right-leaning Mason-Dixon Group with localized results for only the two cities of Tampa Bay (site of the 2012 RNC) and Miami (Marco Rubio stronghold), the second a 3.0% margin from Gravis Marketing, a polling firm funded in large part by BAIN Capital, and an appreciably older finding by The Sunshine State News, an ultra-conservative website/blog which had Romney leading by 5.0% on October 24. Minus the influencesof these extreme outliers, Romney's true lead is likely well under 1.0% and quite possibly closer to that of dead heat. Ah, Florida....

In NORTH CAROLINA, with 15 electoral votes, Romney's lead is holding at 3.8%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 79.6% chance of victory here, down 0.3% overnight.

So...

In order for Obama to win re-election the least complex route would be through maintaining his current lead in the five toss-up states where his existing margins are widest (Wisconsin at 5.4%, Pennsylvania at 4.6%, Michigan at 3.5%, Ohio at 2.9%, and Nevada at 2.7%). Doing so would bring his electoral vote total on Election Day to 271. In this scenario, Obama could still surpass 270 while failing to hold Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado.

However, should Obama fail to hold the strategic prize of Ohio, the loss could effectively be neutralized by any of the following combination of wins from states where FiveThirtyEight is currently forecasting Obama victories:

Path #1: Obama loses Ohio but holds the remaining three states where he presently leads, New Hampshire, Iowa, and Colorado resulting in 272 electoral votes.

Path #2: Obama loses Ohio but steals Virginia while also taking only one state from among New Hampshire, Iowa, or Colorado resulting in 270, 272, or 275 electoral votes, respectively.

Interestingly, with Romney's lead having diminished significantly in Florida over the past two weeks and with Hurricane Sandy forcefully highlighting the stark contrast between the candidates regarding the value and necessity if not the mere existence of FEMA in a state which has perhaps the greatest dependence on federal storm relief efforts in the nation, a 3rd path has now emerged which could provide for some interesting election night television:

Path #3: Obama comes from behind at the wire to win Florida. This scenario would require only that Obama win the three states in which his present leads are widest (Wisconsin at 5.4%, Pennsylvania at 4.6%, and Michigan at 3.5%), resulting in 276 electoral votes.

For Romney to unseat Obama, he not only would have to hold the three states in which he presently leads, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia bringing his electoral vote total to 248, but also steal victories in both Colorado where Obama's lead rose Friday to 1.0% and in either Ohio (where Obama's lead today is 2.9%, up from Friday's 2.6%) or in Pennsylvania (where Romney's campaign suggested earlier this week that Obama's significant lead of 4.6% may be vulnerable). By so doing, Romney's electoral vote total would reach 275 or 277, respectively.

Romney's newfound "Pennsylvania Strategy," however, may be a highly-marketed feint designed to counter Obama's anticipated re-allocation of campaign resources to a quantifiably softening political landscape in Florida.

In any event, should Romney fail to steal either Ohio or Pennsylvania he could overcome this shortfall by capturing the four other states in which Obama's current leads are smallest (Colorado at 1.0%, New Hampshire at 1.8%, Iowa at 2.0%, and Nevada at 2.7%) resulting in an electoral vote total of 273.

FiveThirtyEight this morning estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 83.7% (up markedly from Friday morning's 80.9%) and Romney 16.3% (down markedly from Friday's 19.1%).

FiveThirtyEight now also projects that on Election Day the final electoral tally will be as follows: Obama 305 (up 6 from Wednesday's 299) and Romney 233 (down 6 from Wednesday's 239).

Lastly, although it makes no difference in terms of the final result which can only be determined by the Electoral College, FiveThirtyEight currently predicts a national popular vote distribution on Election Day as follows: Obama 50.6% (up from Thursday's 50.4%) and Romney 48.4% (down from Thursday's 48.6%).

With only 60 hours of campaigning left, and with Friday's published October jobs report playing to predictably mixed reviews (economy adding more jobs than expected; unemployment rate ticking up one tenth of one percent to 7.9%), holdout voters may now be left to nothing more than the proverbial 'feel in their gut' as Tuesday approaches.

Mow the yard and stock up on popcorn today, people....Tuesday night is gonna be a whirlwind!

Revenge. That's what the President uses to motivate his supporters.

He wants his supporters to avenge him by voting against Romney on Nov. 6th

How dare Romney speak out against the President and his "flawless" policies.

If only people had listened to him and done everything he told them to. If only the President had a rubber stamp congress, that never exercised their authority to question him. If people would just stop looking at the facts and questioning his leadership. Then everything would be 1000 times better. Don't question, don't think, just follow. That's the way it has to be.

Well, Mr. President, most Americans disagree with you, and they won't be voting for revenge on Nov. 6th. They'll be voting to preserve this great country from 4 more years of failure.

We'd like a little political payback. Revenge, if you will, against those who denied us what we overwhelmingly asked for. Sorry if you find that unbecoming, but you've got to understand that overusing arcane procedural rules to block the will of the American public has consequences as well.

    So, Mr. Romney is twisting words again. No surprise.

    Let's see if he can twist this ...

    Here is one quote from Billy Graham about what he thinks about cults like Mormonism:

    "One of the ways some people seek to fill the empty place in their souls is with false religion—and when a cult leader persuades them that he has all the answers, they will sacrifice almost anything to follow him."

    How true, Mr. Graham.

    Sorry your son, Franklin, has decided to follow Mormonism. I know if you were not 94 years old and in frail health, Billy, you would be able to see what he has done to your Ministry and its followers, and it would break your heart.

    Romney the man and the Myth.

    Thankfully the election is almost over. This has literally been the ugliest election that I can remember. All the craziest, racist right-wingers have crawled out from under rocks all over the country. Spewing their ultra-religious,neo-con,anti-black,anti-immigrate,return to the 1950's agenda.All over the TV,Radio,and Internet. Bringing out the worst, most basest elements in American society to serve them. And all bankrolled and urged on by mega-rich donors like the "John Birch Society" Koch brothers,the Shelton " I want war with Iran" Adelsons, and the,"I force my employee's to contribute to Republicans" Murrays,and their ilk. United in a political mission,to buy,scare,or steal the Presidency for one of their own,Mitt "Foreign bank accounts" Romney.

    Overlooking the people supporting him in his Crusade for the Presidency. And with this rogue's gallery, that's risky in itself. Lets look at the candidate himself and what he says about the Republicans today. What do we know about a man known to many as "Myth" Romney. He comes from a Mormon family originally from Utah. His great grandfather fled to Mexico with his many wife's and children to escape from US laws prohibiting Polygamy. His father was born in Mexico from US citizen parents. His father,George Romney,as a young man returned to the US to avoid the unrest in the Mexico of the time. And for a while was on public assistance,what today would be called "welfare". He was able to make a success of himself here,becoming the head of the AMC auto corporation,governor of Michigan,and a Presidential candidate for the Republican Party in the 1960's. He became a very rich man during those years,leaving aside his roots of being on welfare. Basically,a success story,of how welfare is meant to work,as a hand-up when needed. Young Mitt grew up in a life of privilege,never wanting for anything,a fine Prep school,Stanford University,BYU,and Harvard. But during this time he began to exhibit tendencies hard to explain. There are reports from school friends of him bullying other students,even going so far as to lead a gang of toughs holding down and cutting of the hair of a gay student. And more reports from fellow students and others of committing petty crimes,with a bizarre fetish for dressing up in uniforms of policemen,fireman,and gangster attire. Then acting out those roles in public,lying and fooling others into thinking he really was the someone he pretended to be. It seems during this period there was an estrangement between father and son,with George Romney thinking Mitt was an odd duck and sending him to other schools and out of the public eye.

    Mitt came of age during the height of the Vietnam war. And while voracious in supporting the war. Used every way his family influence afforded him to avoid serving our country in that war. Many other young men avoided fighting in Vietnam as well. President Clinton being one well known case. But unlike President Clinton,who totally opposed the war as everyone knew. Mitt supported the war yet refused to serve in it. To my eye,a moral failing,hard to overlook. He took a deferment to do "missionary" work for his Church. Not in a third world country,spreading the Mormon Faith to the downtrodden.But in Paris and on the Riviera in the South of France. After those "trying years",he got several other student deferments from the draft,until the war was almost concluded and he wouldn't be drafted.

    After he graduated from college,paid for by family money. He settled down with his socially prominent (i.e. very wealthy) wife Anne,raised a family,and with his family connections went into business. A short time later he partnered in a firm of venture capitalists,Bain Capital. During this time he seems to have developed some traits that have stayed with him til today. His liking to fire people,his unconcern for the lives of American workers.And American business's that Bain feasted on,in the scramble to loot as much profit as possible from them.His liking for outsourcing American jobs overseas to use cheap labor. His use of secret foreign bank accounts to avoid paying his fair share in taxes. His disdain for telling the truth. And a well known, dislike for average Americans outside of his 1% colleagues,or members of his Church. A very poster boy for the Gordon " greed is good" Gekko style of business.

    During this period one of America's great political parties,the Republican Party,was in the middle of a profound change.From being a fiscally conservative,but fairly socially liberal party. They had become an increasingly socially right-wing party. Appealing more and more,to the dark side in American politics. Southern racists,that had deserted the Democratic party when the Democrats championed Civil Rights. The ultra-religious crazies,and those anti-immigration zealots that in the 19th century were called the "no-nothing' party. These,along with Romney's inner beliefs that the elite of wealthy Americans should govern the country,was the perfect match for him. His father had run for President as a old-style Republican,one who today they would call a "socialist or Commie".He had connections in the power structure. And with no core moral beliefs to hold him back,unless you consider a lust for greater wealth,and a feeling of entitlement that as the elite they should govern,as core moral beliefs,Mitt was on his way.

    Living in one of the "Bluest" states, Massachusetts,he had to put on his best chameleon personality to try and win election. He lost to one of the fabled Kennedy clan for the Senate in 1994. But then came back in 2002,play acting as a moderate conservative. Pro-gun control,pro-women's rights,pro-gay rights,and willing to support Choice,claiming to be bi-partisan,all in hope's of becoming governor. It worked for him,and taught him,that with a good act you can fool people to vote for you. But its one think to convince people to vote you in as governor.And another thing to do a good job as governor. His record as governor of Massachusetts was so bad,that he didn't even try to run for a second term.And today he's losing the Massachusetts vote for President by a landslide. But that failure didn't stop our "hero" from deciding that the right position for him,was not as governor of a state,but instead as our President.

    In 2008,after our country was brought to its knee's in the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. Under the stewardship of very likely the worst President in American History,GW Bush,a fellow Republican. Romney tries to run as a Presidential candidate,but fails miserably. The Republicans pick war hero Senator,John McCain to run. Romney hopes to be his VP pick. But after McCain looks over his record,and years of his tax returns,he rejects him totally.And goes with Sarah Pailin as the lessor risk. That in itself is a telling statement on Romney. That Pailin was thought a better pick than he would be. McCain is thoroughly defeated by young Senator Barack Obama.And Barack Obama becomes the first African-American US President. Something almost unheard of a few years ago,riling almost all the racist elements in the country to side with the Republicans.Hoping to defeat him in the next elections. While making sure they did everything possible to make his Presidency a failure in the meantime.

    Romney see's this as his chance to gain power,and turn the clock back to the days when the "rightful rulers" (i.e. the elite 1%) governed America. But to accomplish that purpose our "worthy" has to use all his acting skill. He saw 2012 as his time. The Republicans,as the "party of NO" had managed to hold back a full economic recovery. And even with the Presidents ability to end one of Bush's wars,be on schedule to end the other,restore America's standing in the world.Eliminate the Al Queda head Osama Bin Ladin.And drag us from the worst of the recession. The Republicans had done enough to slow the economy,to have people worried. But that wasn't all it would take to bring Mitt to power. In a increasingly crazy teabagger Republican Party,he needed to out crazy the crazies to gain the nomination. Taking advantage of what another crazy,Rick Santorum,said about his own Republican Party "we'll never be the party of the smart people",Mitt went to work. To the pro-gun lobby,he was pro-gun.To the ultra religious-right,he was more ultra. To the absolute anti-abortion crowd,he was more anti-abortion. And with his time honored chameleon skills on full display,he got the nomination. Now,many Republicans themselves knew it was a good act,and he doesn't really have core beliefs (except greed that is). But for the ABO,anybody but Obama crowd. That's what they needed, they would hold their nose and support him. He himself knew that they alone wouldn't be enough. So he enlisted his fellow elite to back him,his true base.

    Men like the Koch brothers,whose father hobnobbed with the Nazis before WW2,and helped found and bankrolled the ultra ring-wing semi-fascist John Birch Society in the postwar US. While they themselves founded and bankrolled the Teabagger party. The apple didn't fall far from the tree with those boys. Shelton Adelson, multi-billionaire backer of Israels right-wing PM Netanyahu,who's greatest desire is to see the US go to war in the Middle East against Iran. The Marriott's,interested in securing cheap labor for their hotel chains through exemptions to the immigration laws. Robert Murray,and others in the mining industries who want Romney to put a stop to those pesky EPA regulations that stop them from polluting and looting more of our country.In other words those that would love to return to the robber baron age in America,when the workers and middle-class "knew their place". When as the saying goes "remember the golden rule,those that have the gold rule". But only one thing stands in their way,the American voter. With all the money to buy the election,and a worked up right-wing base.You still can't win a Presidential general election unless you can convince enough voters you aren't a crazy right-winger,but are at least a moderate.

    That is why we constantly see the flip-flopping,lying Romney. The man with no character or issues he will stick with. On one hand he throws out his anti-government message ,like saying he wants to privatize FEMA. Then is caught up by a horrible storm that shows voters how vital an organization like FEMA is to their lives. Then while pandering to his base.Saying he would oppose all abortions,one of his fellow,even more crazier supporters says,even if a 13 year old girl was raped he would make her carry the rapist's fetus. And that it was God's will and a gift from God. His own VP pick says rape was just another method of conception. Positions vastly rejected by Americans in general. He play acts as the moderate Mitt during the debates,but then is heard on video tape in a secret speech to his 1% donors disdainfully dismissing almost half the American people as moochers. And he tops off his campaign with blatantly lying to Ohio workers about them losing their jobs to China,hoping to scare them to vote for him. Only to have their own companies call him out as lying. In today's world,with reporters on his heels,fact checkers,and the internet available for voters to research. Its not as easy to get away with his lies.

    Like I said before this election will be over soon.Three more days until we vote. I'm hoping that our people will reject this man at the polls Tuesday. It would be a disaster if we fell for his play acting.And elected someone this flawed to be our President.

    Obama aide explains 'voting is best revenge' comment

    No need to explain. We real Americans will correct the horrible mistake of 2008 this Tuesday.

    We don't consider it revenge when we eliminate this elitist statist from the White House, we consider it restoring American values and policies. It's time to rid ourselves of the disease known as Progressivism that has caused all the problems we have to deal with today.

    The irrational combination of Keynesianism, social/economic justice and political correctness has frozen our economy and society in stagnation. This corruption that we are a Democracy has crippled us from achieving what we once did. As a Federal Constitutional Republic we became the flag-bearer for Freedom and Liberty, this must be restored.

    The mediocrity that Barrack Hussein promotes with his class-warfare and envy meme is not what our great Republic was built on. Our wealth, prosperity and standard of living was not built on government or union corruption, it was built on the shoulders of industry, innovation and free-market principles that allowed American exceptionalism to dominate.

    It's a shame we have a president whose idea of success is limited to attaining a middle class status. This may be acceptable to the Liberal ideology of mediocrity, but it isn't for the real Americans who believe all Americans can achieve more. Barrack Hussein knows that outside of his oratory skills, his abilities are very limited. He had no history of governance other than arranging a few picnics as a community organizer and his business experience was limited to writing a couple books, about himself.

    It is easier to bring the masses down than it is to build them up, that’s why Barrack Hussein demonizes the rich and successful. It’s easier to keep the electorate illiterate and motivate them on cutesy slogans, tag-lines and bumper sticker talking points. Issues such as contraceptives, personal taxes and Big Bird are what simpletons bring to the debate.

    Barrack Husseins economic, domestic and foreign policies are abject failures. Adding $5.6 trillion to our National Debt in less than 4 years should be an outrage. 23 million Americans under/unemployed is an embarrassment. Poverty expanding at historic rates will never enable us to improve our society. Bringing down the makers to elevate the makers has never worked, and will never work.

    We need leadership that is unafraid to truly create progress. Reforms in education, trade agreements, taxation, regulation, and energy policy must be aggressively pursued. Barrack Hussein has no plans for any of this. Other than his lifelong meme of taxing the rich, his economic policy is as empty as his domestic and foreign policies.

    Mitt Romney will defeat Barrack Hussein on Tuesday. Americans are tired of being held back by the very man that's supposed to be encouraging success and innovation. Leading from behind may have worked in Chicago, it doesn't work in the real world.

    Greed isn’t someone wanting to keep more of what they earn, its people demanding a greater share of money that someone else has earned.

    I'll vote for anyone who will try to improve my standard of living ...without destroying someone else’s!

    #1.31 - Sat Nov 3, 2012 9:29 PM EDT

    I read the President's economic plan for the next four years. The Plan is devoid of detail to include budget. It appears to be primarily a wish list. It seems that the President wants the federal government to spend a lot of money that it does not have to train math and science teacher's to teach vocational classes at the JC level for jobs that do not really exist in this country. Foreign manufacturers are paying their workers roughly a tenth of the minimum that our workers require and that is why they can always beat domestic manufactures on price. Neither candidate seems to have a solution for this problem. It is our huge trade deficit that is degrading efforts to revive the economy by injecting more money.

    In many states, state colleges and universities are having to raise tuition to make ends meet because of tighter state budgets. The President wants to withdrew federal funding from these schools so that they either have to raise tuition even more or close down facilities. The President thinks that this effort will help improve the quality of education in America.

    The President is expecting to pass his increased taxes on the "Rich". He has been trying to do that for the past four years but he somehow thinks the can prevail in the next 4 years. This tax will at best take 100 billion dollars per year from the private sector and put it into the public sector. The President promised that the 2012 federal deficit would not exceed 229.27 billion dollars yet the actual deficit exceeded 1.1 trillion dollars so his efforts to date to cut the deficit have been less than successful. He is proposing more spending and unspecified cuts and which has been provided it is impossible that any actually deficit reduction will take place. So I am looking at a nominal annual deficit of 1 trillion dollars assuming the increased taxes on the "rich" passes.

    At the heart of the President's plan is the idea of bringing the troops home in 2014 and with the savings use half of it to start paying down our debt and use the other half for infrastructure improvements. To start paying down the debt the federal government has to run a surplus. To run a surplus with half of the piece dividend, the federal government will have to realize a savings of more than 2 trillion dollars per year from bringing the troops home. That amount is more than twice a s much as we are paying for defense including all overseas operations. The President's plan is mathematically impossible. Mathematically impossible plans are at the least less than viable. The President's plan is an example of fantasy economics.

    My biggest concern is all the debt that our federal government has been accumulating. With a debt or more than 16 trillion dollars and huge deficits predicted for at least another decade, I estimate that the money that the federal government is borrowing today will end up costing the tax payers more than 10 times the amount borrowed to repay over the next 180 years. Paying 10 times the going rate for goods and services is not good management. The President has yet to present a detailed plan for repaying the debt. The tax payers have a right to know how much all of this federal borrowing to going to end up costing them.

        Yet another lie from the Republicans. There are not 23 million people without a job. The BLS, whose job it is to track these numbers, estimates that there are 12 million people without jobs.

Finally under Clinton the budget was balanced and the debt reduced until the Bush Jr. and the idiots working for him (By the way, same people Mitt will hire) exploded the debt and destroyed the economy.

            I always understood the remark from the first time I heard it. Not sure why Mitt was so confused.

            I actually wondered why he didn't turn it around and say voting IS the best revenge if you don't like the way things have gone these past 4 years.

            Personally I am much better off and happy with the direction as slow as it is.

            What scares me is Etch-a-Sketch coming into power with the flip flop lies, and apparent inability to understand such simple comments like "Voting is the best Revenge".

            The policies that Mitt espouses are familiar to all of us. They are the same failed policies that George W. Bush used to run this country into the ground. Policies that even his father, fer chrissakes, labeled "voodoo economics".

            And, even after the tragic failure of Bush economic policies, Romney wants to double down on stupid!

            Obama is right - this election is about revenge for me. Revenge for nominating and running a pair of idiots for the last Republican administration and then daring to run another lying clown on the same demonstrably failed policies! Reduce taxes, increase spending and our budget will balance! Huh?

            This time I am not even looking at those things I am going straight Democrat every single time.

            A message needs to be sent.

            I am sick and tired of what the Republican Party has become. Far too many clowns like Palin, Perry, Huckabee, Mourdock, Gingrich, Cain, Santorum, Trump, etc (the list is too long).

            George Bush II destroyed this economy to such a degree NOBODY could fix it overnight.

            Until the GOP wakes up and realizes reducing our income (tax cuts) and starting 2 wars on a charge card was a bad fiscal idea they don't deserve to be running this country.

            Until the GOP realizes the tax cuts for the wealthy must be eliminated this country will be in a crushing debt. It is not adding taxes it is eliminating the CUTS that were given to supposedly create jobs and jumpstart the economy. No jobs were created and it wasn't a jumpstart it was a stall.

                  They did exactly what the AMERICAN PEOPLE put them there to do.

                  Why? because Mr Obama did NOT do what the American People believed he was going to do!....

                  Why is this so hard for the Brainwashed to see?

                  The fact that they cannot see it is exactly the exhortation to revenge, can't win or convince people on principle or issues, resort to emotionalism and violence....

                  Oh yeah? The tea-party congressional representatives got the votes of 'the American People'? I don't remember them on my ballot.

                  Oh, that's right, they were voted in by small blocks of extremists in deep-red districts. Apparently, in your view, those enclaves of die-hard right-wingers speak for the National public, and should be the ones to dictate policy to the rest of us, even though we voted for the opposite policies.

                  Since you don't seem to understand, allow me to instruct you: representatives from these little districts are supposed to come to Washington to fight for the interests of their districts, not abuse arcane procedural rules to deny the interests of the rest of us, the National public who voted overwhelmingly for the agenda Obama ran on, and has tried to put in place. Do you understand the difference?

                  It is time to put an end to it. Appeasement will not work. It is time to indicate to the tantrum-throwing extremists that we meant it when we voted for change from the policies that destroyed our economy, and we will not go back. It is time to show resolve and re-elect President Obama.

                  No! The tea partiers swept to power in 2010 running on a mantra of Jobs! Jobs! JOBS!

                  After getting into office, however, their first priorities:

                  Symbolically reading the constitution, skipping parts of it, and also reading part of the Declaration of Independence, while still claiming to be reading the constitution.

                  Swearing themselves in by watching the swearing-in ceremony on TV, without actually attending. They later had to be sworn in again, and 2 of their votes were deemed invalid since they had not been properly sworn in.

                  Attempting to de-fund Global Warming research.

                  Attempting to cut all funding for Planned Parenthood and PBS.

                  Attempting to redefine rape to no longer include statutory rape, incest rape, or drugged rape.

                  Proposing a bill that would let a hospitalized pregnant woman die instead of having a life saving abortion, if she needed it.

                  Even Newt Gingrich was prompted to say: "I don't think right-wing social engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social engineering."

                  None of it had anything to do with JOBS!

                  We'll see how well all that worked in this election!

                  I don't really care how President Obama ment the comment - he is right on all counts. Voting and winning is the best revenge and I can wait. When it is all over, I will get on here and somehow flip my middle finger to the Obama haters on here and then just sit back and read the comments.

Obviously you don't follow any kind of polls nor have you ever looked at populous opinion polls since that 2010 election: shyte HAS changed. IF it hnad't (as you declare with NO proof whatsoever, just red sky) then all of those seats that SHOULDN'T have been up for grabs this time around that ARE up for grabs (or where R's are actually LOSING in a few cases already) wouldn't exist.

                      Red - Do you know anything about how Obamacare is supposed to get healthcare for more (not ALL) Americans? We will all end up on Medicaid. Why do you think Obamacare had a requirement that States radically expand their Medicaid rosters and pay the health care costs.? Then the Supreme Court said States could opt out of the expansion and many have. Now it will be on the federal government to cover the medicaid costs and we should all know by now how horribly inefficient is Medicaid.

                      Thx, PangoBa, so many think some magic has been applied to this problem. On another post, I mentioned that large service companies such as Darden, are considering cutting hours to under 30 so as to avoid providing healthcare. So employees not only loose hours , they also loose health care. More unintended consequences of a poorly written bill.

What better way to enact my revenge lawfully and peacefully but through the voting process. The Presidents statement was correct and certainly called for arms to vote. To read anything else into the statement is absurd and warrants no further exclamation.

                        Because Romney supporters' empty chair lynching, race baiting, vote suppressing, birther trash nonsense is a clear indicator of "love of country." I guess when your standard bearer is a liar like Mitt Romney with all the principles of a weather vein and your party's spokespeople are scum like Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter, Sean Hannity and the rest of the Rupert Murdoch/Koch Brothers mafia then you're in an ideal position to define "love of country" while hating most of the people in it.

                        Ahhh...futile bravado from one facing ignoble defeat. You're like the guy standing in front of the firing squad who declines a last cigarette because you're trying to quit smoking. Then again, if you think Romney is going to win, what ARE you smoking?

                        OK...much as I enjoy having a battle of wits, its not so much fun when your opponent is unarmed. By Wednesday your delusions surrounding a Romney victory will be crushed and you can draw back into your cave and complain about the Black people taking over and ruining YOUR country. Then you and your friends can put on your nice, white sheets and pointy hoods and warm your hands over a burning cross.

                        The man sure nows how to divide a country doesn't he! If asking for an ID card to vote is voter suppression...then what is registering to vote multiple times, registering dead people and rigging voting machines???....VOTER FRAUD!! Can't win straight up, try to cheat! Can't fix the economy...lie about the numbers and spin it so stupid people think it's okay. Let four Americans including an ambassador die, then run off to Vegas to fund raise....no worries, media won't care neither will all the dumb people I've suckered into thinking I"m actually making their lives better. When the debt hit's 20 trillion and we can't afford to keep up with the payments....I will just give a tough speech and talk about more hope and change and people will think it's okay. I'm sorry, but the truth is, anybody that votes for this man is not smart enough to understand economics, not patriotic enough to care about the Americans that were left to die, and too blind to see just how badly they are being suckered in. God help us all if we get stuck with 4 more years!

                        I think our president is right, voting is the best revenge, against those who plotted 4 years ago to destroy our economy just to make sure that the first black president failed, but, wait he didnt fail, despite their efforts. But yea, he deserves to win, and yes, wouldnt it be sweet revenge!

Who doubled the debt in just 4 years? Obama! What was unemployment when he took office? 7.8%.....what is it today? 7.9% I know the left likes to talk about doing the math....but does anybody on the left actually understand it? Sure, continue with your insults, and talk about how we conservatives don't like women, children, good schools, clean air or water...despite the fact that we too have mothers, wives, sisters, aunts...ect....love our children and want them to go to the best schools and enjoy clean air and water as much as anybody else. If you can't win a simple intelligent debate....make up a bunch of stupid crap that only stupid people will believe. Sadly....a large portion of our population is really that stupid. God help us all if the stupid people win on Tuesday.

                          Kudos to Romney for encouraging people to vote out of love for America, rather than out of revenge like Obama suggested they do.

                          It's our right and our responsibility to vote out people who have the lack of integrity that Obama has displayed. His cover-up regarding the terrorist attack at Benghazi is shameful. CBS News finally broke the story about Obama covering it up so he could use the spin "I ended terrorism" during his 2012 campaign. How disgusting.

                          Obama is more concerned about how he looks while campaigning than keeping our American ambassadors alive. Well, nice, Obama... 4 dead now. How many more will die while you're trying to spin other campaign tactics?

                              But men of the mind are still eager to implement a new test of their fictional economics.

                              And of course, the tax cuts of the Bush administration are in fact a matter of debate during this election.

How original, the Right invoking the old Commie tirade and questioning the patriotism of those who do not share your dark and twisted thoughts. Here's a clue for you dummy, the Right has no monoply on patriotism, far from it. As a matter of fact, if you look at our Congress of recent years, there are far more Democrats who have served this nation with valor and distinction in the military than so many of your tough talking, far Right Chicken Hawks who simply cannot wait to send someone elses children into an unnecessary war. And Colin Powell, a Republican endoreses Obama. Bet that's gotta hurt, huh???

                                It's good>Romney versus evil>Obama. Hope you people are on the right side. Some day you will have to answer to God whether you like it or not.

                                If GOD can vote in this election... I am sure He will vote for President Obama.

                                He will not vote for a CHEATER and a LIAR like Robney and Lyan.

                                Your statement has all the evidence a man of the mind such as yourself requires.

                                I suspect you fancy yourself a regular Judge Narragansett - in the form of a lawyer - without facts and full of false statements and unjust allegations.

                                Traitors to everything decent. So intellectually measured. Such judicious word selection.
