ORLANDO, Fla. – Declaring "we are going to get this done," an emotional Michelle Obama rallied a central Florida crowd Monday night, telling supporters on the eve of the election that it's "all on the line" Tuesday.
"Your president is nowhere near satisfied," she said, making the pitch for a second term for her husband, President Barack Obama.
The first lady has maintained a busy schedule visiting key swing states since the Democrats' national convention in Charlotte, N.C., in September.
Here in an Orlando park, she made her final solo campaign appearance of the 2012 cycle.
"Together, slowly but surely, we have been pulling ourselves out of that hole that we started in," Obama said, casting her husband's first term in office as a difficult but productive road to economic recovery.
Though she didn't mention Republican nominee Mitt Romney, she warned against moving backward, touting her husband's overhaul of the health care system and regulation of the financial industry.
The campaign estimated the crowd at 2,600. The decision to hold the first lady's final rally here in Central Florida is no doubt tied to the campaign's strategy to win the state's 29 electoral votes.
Both the Obama and Romney campaigns have poured tens of millions into advertising in the Sunshine State, hoping to win the so-called "I-4 corridor," a key part of the Florida puzzle.
Obama was joined on stage Monday by Sen. Bill Nelson and Puerto Rican-born performer Ricky Martin.
Nelson, who is leading in polls against his Republican challenger, U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, made a pitch for support in Spanish.
Almost 4.5 million people in Florida have already cast ballots, taking advantage of early and absentee voting opportunities here. The latest data from the Florida Secretary of State's office shows that Democrats have cast 1,915,630 votes – giving them a lead against Republicans, who have cast 1,747,977 votes.
But Michelle Obama warned that the president needs every vote he can get.
"Don't let anybody push you out of line," the first lady said, telling those who haven't voted yet to get to the polls early. "Don't let any delays deter you."
Michelle Obama was scheduled to appear later Monday with her husband in Des Moines, Iowa.

She never hated the America, she was just disappointed because of A$$ooooools like you
Gee I didn't know there were any Black Panthers, I thought the FBI killed em all in the 60's

MYTH Romney: 'The Economy Is At A Virtual Standstill'
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has released an arguably misleading statement on the jobs report:
Today’s increase in the unemployment rate is a sad reminder that the economy is at a virtual standstill. The jobless rate is higher than it was when President Obama took office, and there are still 23 million Americans struggling for work. On Tuesday, America will make a choice between stagnation and prosperity.
Roughly 12 million Americans are unemployed, according to the Labor Department -- not 23 million. The latter number refers to "total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons," according to the Labor Department.
http://globalgoodgroup.com/blog/2012/11/02/october-jobs-report-released/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, the economy is not standing still. It grew at an annual rate of 2.0 percent in the third quarter of this year, according to the Commerce Department.
Hummm, so now the numbers are real? Last month they were fixed according to the right wing nut jobs.

These are the NEW Black Panthers. New name but same ignorant, racist, bullsh*t. And yes, they stood in polling places last year with baseball bats with their ridiculous uniforms on. Eric Holder refused to prosecute because they were black (his dept said that blacks cannot commit racism).
Unfortunately they missed a few, singleup. Dem mistake back then. Johnson, wasn't it?

Romney/Ryan: A REAL FUTURE FOR AMERICA, even the slackers.
MSNBCMFE.....Too little too late. Obama is history. Michelle and Barack can enjoy Christmas in Chicago for many years to come. I wish them the best.
Release the Hounds on Mitt --- VOTE
Let's see now....is this the 192nd time Mrs. Obama has been out and about campaigning for Carter Jr. ?
I wonder who is footing the transportation costs for these CAMPAIGN TRIPS ? Need to look closely to make sure she pays her way. Reason: Mrs. Obama, or someone in the White House, designated her children as SENIOR White House staffers on that African trip so the taxpayers would pick up the tab.
Mrs. Obama is really going to miss those Wednesday parties and those $ 1,000,000 dinners for her friends when she is kicked out of the White House on 7 January 2013. Expect an inventory on White House assets.
Their retirement home will be located next door to Mr. Jimmy Carter, then Mr. Obama and Mr. Carter can reminisce on Presidential memories.
AS for Mrs. Clinton's attempted run in 2016: NEVER HAPPEN.....too much baggage. Whitewater real estate fiasco did not result in Americans getting killed.....BENGHAZI DID.
I'm dating myself- rather precisely!- but my first presidential election was in 1984, pitting the incumbent and former two-term governor of my home state of California against Walter Mondale, the Minnesotan and vice-president of the widely (and unfairly) maligned Jimmy Carter.
Today, people like Vaginian Bob and his fellow drones want to sell the Reagan Myth; that he took over an economy in freefall, immediately imposed a radical free-market, laissez-faire solution, and just deregulated the Hell out of everything within reach; crushed and broke the unions; that almost overnight, we were up to our withers in high-paying,
non-unionright-to-work jobs; and by the time November '84 rolled around, Ronald Reagan was more popular than sex or free beer. Democrats in their millions deserted their party, and Mondale garnered a pitiful handful of votes, roughly equal to the number of committed Marxists in universities nationwide.People like me, who were actually there, and were working for a living (or ar least trying to!) remember it differently. We remember that immediately after Reagan's big first-year tax cut, unemployment shot up from around 5.8% to a modern record high of 10.2% (Merry f*****g Christmas!). We remember that while Reagan was good at hitting his marks, saying his lines and projecting sunny optimism, his administration were scaring the sawdust out of us with nuclear saber-rattling aimed at the U.S.S.R. (we had one of those back then), a massive crackdown on everybody whose skin colour, religion, personal habits or romantic inclinations didn't suit the Evangelical Christians who were suddenly a national political force (even though Ronnie and Nancy never attended chuch once the entire eight years they were in Sacramento). We remember looking up every day at the sunny California skies, wondering if today was the day that sudden nuclear death was going to light up that sky because the senile warmonger in the White House had finally lost it.
No, for roughly half of us, the Reagan years were anything but the nonstop party that the Republicans have been selling us ever since.
Now, for the last four years, the Republicans have been selling a narrative that says that the economy was just roaring along, but as soon as Obama was elected, our prosperity hit the wall, foreclosures exploded all over, our friends abroad turned on us, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began to go very badly, when under Bush it was just an unbroken series of triumphs (which certainly explains why we were still there after seven years).
Unfortunately, these pages prove that there are millions of people out there who are stupid enough to fall for this gigantic hoax; and theRepublican gangster party is not even troubling themselves to try to conceal their lies and their crimes, because there's a very large bloc of voters who consider anything to be justified, up to and including mass violence and murder, in order to get rid of the man who pulled the whole world's economy back from the brink of cataclysm and has seen it through to a definite if slow recovery, so they can proudly hand the reins of power back to the exact same gang of thieves, fixers, grifters, con artists, religious fanatics, perverts and war profiteers who destroyed our economy in the first place.
Way to go, you idiots. You can grumble and bitch about the Socialist in the White House while he saving your collective backside. You're lucky our Constitution guarantees freedom of speech for the terminally dumb.
Oh, come to Atlanta and Philadelphia, we got The New Black Panther Party! Bigger and better version of the one in the 1960s!!!
Liberals are bullies? Last I heard, I didn't see any news about voter suppression being done by liberals, or liberal bosses telling their employees not to vote for Romney. Let's face it, the FAKE republican party are the bullies.
Please, let not go back to the Bush years....That 3.8% unemployment rate was a real killer..And the debt was only half of what it is now....And, the credit rating hadn't yet been downgraded....And we had 50% fewer people on food stamps then we do now...Man, those were just TERRIBLE years weren't they...LOL
New Black Panthers are racist cowards...Useful idiots of the Dem party and they don't even realize it...
"Don't let anyone push you out of line"??? Who is trying to push anyone out of line? Is she a narcissist or a paranoid?

It's not even the Panthers themselves who really scare me, Jerry; it's the Sasquatch and Yeti they use as enforcers who turn my blood cold. Not to mention the leprechauns who are in charge of the NBPP's finances, and the faeries and dybbuks they use for intelligence gathering.
I'm telling you, these swine will stop at nothing to destroy the Fundamentalist Christian state that was written into the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Book of Mormon and Ted Nugent's lyrics.

"Your president is nowhere near satisfied," she said, making the pitch for a second term for her husband, President Barack Obama.
And isn't that what it's all about?.... if some politician is satisfied. (sarcasm)
Could you possibly say anything to more obviously show how little you care about anything meaningful to the nation or its citizens?
"My husband isn't satisfied yet... you better give him what he wants." - Michell O.
MSNBCMFE @ 1.1 : If you would check yourself into a funny farm tomorrow they may be able to save you.
Our President said that he would bring the nation together. That did not work.
Our President said that he could work with the opposition party by reaching across the isle. That did not work.
Our President said that his administration would be free from lobbyists. That did not work.
Our President said that his administration would be the most transparent ever. That did not work.
Our President said that he would fix the economy within three years. That did not work.
Our President said that his health care bill would lower health care costs. That did not work.
Our President said that he would not raise taxes on 95% of Americans in any way. That did not work.
Our President said that his stimulus spending bill would solve our employment problem. That did not work.
Our President said that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. That did not work.
Our President has provided an economic "plan" for the next 4 years that is mathematically impossible. That cannot work.
I see a pattern here. Our President said that if he could not fix the economy within three year that he did not deserve a second term.
Funny, upon investigating it was found that they never actually threatened anybody personally nor did they stop anyone from voting. After all, at that time The New Black Panthers had a whopping 3 members outside of a SINGLE polling station. Yeah, they sang songs that white folks did not like, and them being black in a predominantly white area really freaked out some of the bigoted whites, but remember, that was a very well debunked Breitbart production and part of their routine was done specifically for the camera. Considering that it was under Bush and HIS Justice Department was the one to investigate, and declined to prosecute, blaming it on Holder is ludicrous. The whole "Black Panther Intimidation" thing has been totally debunked, so you who bring it up are engaging in (probably paid for) fear mongering and the telling of debunked LIES. Of course, if you are a Fox news watcher then you probably have no concept that this is the case!
Compared to the huge number of 'True The Vote' members who have been given fallacious information about elections protocols in their areas,, and are being dispatched ONLY to those areas that show a majority of Black or Hispanic voters, I would be much more scared of these tea Party backed fanatics whose ONLY purpose is to cause disruptions in the polling places, creating disturbances so as to make those waiting in line to get discouraged and leave without voting.
Presently, the Repubs are acting just like the mafia does, in fact, there is very little difference and the Repubs are acting exactly like any other corrupt, criminal organization doing things that are illegal, immoral and, quite frankly, unconstitutional. Considering that the demographics in this Nation are changing, and not in a way that rich, white bigoted men like, they are doing EVERYTHING that they can, legal or not, to sway the election their way, through laws that disenfranchise legal Dem voters based on race, income level and region, sending their "Voter Fraud" goon squads to ONLY places that show a majority of minority or poor Dem voters in a bid to cause disruption and intimidate people from voting in those areas, either through creating slow downs that increase the length of lines and time standing in those lines to discourage those people from voting. Yes, these actions are being taken ONLY by the Repubs and their Tea Party minions.
These groups see, quite clearly, that this is their LAST chance to cling to any sort of power due to the rapidly changing demographics that are leaning more and more to the left. Many groups see them as completely against their well being: Blacks, Hispanics, Women, LBGT, and many of the poor all see the Repub party as concentrated on denying them the rights that are guaranteed them under the Constitution: EQUAL rights for all, not Just for the extremely wealthy white crowd that sees their numbers diminishing and are desperately trying to cling to their notions that they are more equal than any other. The Repub Party has gone out of it's way to create enemies, and now they are, justly, terrified that they will not hold on to their historical powers. They need to come in out from the 19th Century and join the rest of us here in the 21st Century and quit trying to drag us backwards into the future!
Perhaps you need to actually do some REAL study, not using data from Fox News or any other so called Conservative site. Use the neutral, non-partisan sites, there are plenty of them out there. You will find a lot of facts that you plain dislike, but they are the truth. Truth has no party, it takes no sides unless one side is determined to deny the truth and try to force their views and lies on the rest of us. Presently the Repub Party is the party of lies, disinformation and misinformation and Romney is their poster child: able to lie faster, on any subject, willing to tell anybody and everybody what they want to hear, and having absolutely NO remorse in doing so.
ANY group that cannot stand up and tell, in plain words and accurate math, what their platform really is, cannot tell the truth about their policies and HAS to depend on lies to gain ANY office is not a legitimate party and should NOT be given ANY sort of political office or position. If they cannot gain office with the truth then they have NO business even running for the offices, PERIOD!
OH, and if you should go to any sort of fact checking site, you will see that the lies from the Repubs FAR FAR outweighs the ones from the Dems, and, in fact, while most of the lies from the right are brazen pants-on-fire level lies, what the Repubs point to on the left as 'lies' are usually bits of statements taken out of context and conflated to the point that they do not resemble, in any fashion, what the actual original statement was. This is easily verifiable as well.
Have a great day!
Gee, not a peep out of Oprah- must be because Michelle said she was too fat to participate in her food program. Guess she's above gratitude.
Here we go again with the "Black Panther" story, two men, just two men, who stood outside of one polling place in Philly. They wore berets and black leather trench-coats, and one had a nightstick hung in a belt hanger (not a baseball bat). When asked why they were there they said it was to make sure that no republicans tried to stop anyone from voting for Obama. When police were called and they were told that it was illegal to loiter by the polling place they left.
That is all that happened, two men, at one polling place, who never threatened or challenged anyone while they were there, they just stood there. The reason they were not prosecuted is because they never tried to stop anyone from voting, and they never said a word to try to intimidate anyone. They really were not guilty of anything except for unknowingly violating elections law by loitering too close to the polling place. The attorney general declined to prosecute because there was no point in doing so, and what, charge them with loitering while black?
Our GOP friends insist that due to the properties of the "Magical Balance Fairy" that these two mens presence four years ago now justifies an entire host of activities by them aimed at suppressing the minority vote. Of course they never tell the truth and admit that it was only two men at one location. Instead they rage about a mythical para-military army of Black Panthers whose widespread presence was responsible for scaring away millions of white voters by their mere presence thereby securing the election for Obama.
It is nothing but a racist fairy tale, a scary bedtime story told by white supremacists, and a convenient lie because it contains just the tiniest smidgen of truth to build upon. That they use this racist lie to justify their own anti-American and unconstitutional efforts to subvert the right of other citizens to vote tells you all you really need to know about them.
Ausador, your race-baiting tactics will not work.
The Republicans are already trying to steal this election.
VOTE! And then follow up to make sure it's counted.

Typical non-reply, I have grown to expect them. So now I am the one race baiting? How about looking upthread at the multiple posts about the "scary black panthers" intimidating white voters away from the polls.
You have no actual response to what I said because it is true, instead of trying to refute what I said, which you can't, you instead accuse me of doing what your cohorts have already done. Nice deflection technique you have there.
Will Haas - like many GOP'ers, you don't have an original thought in your head.
All you've done for the past two months is paste that exact same drivel over and over and over.
Guess what - repeating lies doesn't ever make them true. Give up.
Hopefully her final 'solo campaign' anywhere...EVICT OBAMA
Hey Nevada - CAAP's website can say anything it wants.
Even if it's a lie.
Want the truth? Or are you playing "hear no evil" until after the election?
I have never seen a "Black Panther" at a polling place.
I have seen plenty of right-wing goons trying to scare people out of voting.
Guess how many of which will be at the polls tomorrow?

What an awful thing for a First Lady to say. Instead of uplifting the voters her message entices trouble.
Thank you Jo Ann, Bye Michelle it has been Expensive. Really expensive.
Quite disheartened by the gush of nasty disrespectful comments. You may disagree with the first Lady and the President, but regardless you should respect the office they hold.
Whom ever wins, I for one wont moan the election was stolen or it was wrong I will respect the will of fellow American's as we all should.
Joanna you seem to have missed the message Ms Obama was sending, no one should be intimidated not to vote, no where in her comment did she advocate trouble but merely standing up for ones self so they can vote. I would hope, regardless of who you vote for you too would stand up for your right to vote and not walk away if intimidated, now that would be an awful thing if you did not vote because of intimidation.
Debora perhaps some more details would have made your comment seem less disrespectful/flipant and more informative.
First its her husband that holds the office. She is not elected but a paid staff member in the white house.The constitution gives no title or position as first lady. She receives a stripend to look after the white house keeping staff. Realize the title and and benefits she gets are because of the position her husband hold.
Mrs Obama IS SCARING ME!!!!
WITH THOSE ARMS SHE COULD PUSH A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT OF LINE!
NOW MY WIFE AND I ARE SCARED TO GO VOTE TODAY!!!
Krestow no one voted for for once in my life, I am proud of my country MO. And please how respectful we're you of the Bushes?
@Krestov,
I understand what Mrs. Obama was saying I just think she could have expressed her feelings in a more caring way. Her way came across as a bully tactic.
@Jo Ann, I understand what you mean! YEs there are more, gentle ways of putting out the message for sure!

I did not agree with how President Bush conducted the country and I commented as such, but I did not insult the role of President I did not insult his wife. I would like to think I made clear arguments and comments on what I did not agree on.
Unlike some on this discussion who embarrass themselves by resorting to name calling and sarcasstic unhelpful comments.
"realamericansfirst", aka axlerod, don't you have better things to do than to spread your crap to anyone dumb enough to listen? By the sheer number of your posts, it appears that you are currently unemployed. Hmm, wonder who you voted for? Are you going to help the amighty bho, and his Hollywood entourage to pack?
IKrestow, I actually agree wholeheartedly with you. We would accomplish more if we tried civility. I worry going ahead that since no one will have a strong mandate, that we will repeat the last years in terms of getting none of our problems solved. We need compromise.
Thanks Michelle for checking this out. The last time it happened, the country got cheated out of a good potential for a disastrous plan. We all know what happened when Bush took the win...his friends at the supreme court. His daddy made sure Jr. got a chance to destroy the country......and he pretty much did. Another one of these around the corner ? won't happen again.....only once in a life time. Fool me once.....my fault....twice.....not on your life !!!!
What a tremendous asset she has been for her husband and our president. She has so connected with voters all across the nation unlike any other First Lady since Eleanor Roosevelt.
Best of luck tomorrow Mrs. Obama. You gave it all - 110%.
We're behind both you and President Obama.

Michelle obama doesn't give one rat fart about the people of the United States. She wasn't even proud of her country until it elected her husband.
Just like her husband, she enjoys the perks of being first lady (the first lady of travels and vacations) while the middle class strugged to make ends meet.
Pat & GT -
I agree whole-heartedly! She's been a great first lady - probably the most active we've ever had. She's also smart which I'm sure irritates some men <jerry>.
She nuttin' but an ABW out to make a buck and screw the da' white man!
In less than two hours it will be November 6, 2012. On this day, we the citizens of this nation will decide not only who will be the President of the United States, but what direction we want this country to go. For me, the choice is simple. We can stay with the proven leadership and steady growth of the current administration, or return to the proven failed policies of their opponents. For me, I'm satisfied with where we've been the last four years, and where we will go the next four if this current administration is given the votes for re-election. But I am only one vote. It's up to the rest of the country to decide who will be the winner. I'm betting on the path to remain the same and that the opposition parties attempt at turning back the clock will be rejected. If it is, I along with many on this board, will celebrate. If it isn't, my life will go on as it has for over fifty years. The time for bickering is over as we turn it over to the American people to decide.

Yes, she's a freekin genius.....
Well said Jerry. After tomorrow night she and her husband will understand how the majority of the American people feel about their 4 year stint in the White House. They can both go back to where ever they came from. They are both set for life and can do as they please, only this time around it won't be on the American tax payer. I for one will be thrilled to see them take their last ride on a military helicopter taking them out of Washington, that day can't come soon enough.
This is the man who came to Boston for the Democratic Convention in 2004. This is the night he was introduced to the nation. There are no red states, there are no blue states, there are only the United States.
And tomorrow we re-elect him for a second term as our President of the United States.
Unimaginable turns of events. How fortunate we are.

Sarcasm does not suit you.
What's the matter don't you like that she wants us to be healthy? (take a look around at the results of the American diet.)
Don't like it that she would just as soon shop at Target?
Don 't like the values she is instilling in her two beautiful girls?
Don't like it that she has more degrees than you?
Nevada,
The only morally bankrupt person here is you.
Michelle, make sure to tell them not to push the whites out of line. Philadelphia 2008 come to mind???
Simple...Obama said to we..the American people...that he would NOT seek a 2nd term if he couldn't turn around the economy. Well...let's see - double national debt with NO results. Oops, sorry for the reality check.
Just sayin.....
By far, the most unAmerican first lady to EVER occupy the w.h., and this is a fact. Here's your freaking quotes to prove this:
1. “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.” — Michelle Obama
2. “…(T)he realities are that, you know, as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station, you know.” — Michelle Obama
3. “The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.” — Michelle Obama
4. “Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.” — Michelle Obama
Best "First Lady" ever? I think not. Most racist "First Lady" ever? Absolutely.
Have a great day you silly, silly deluded liberals!!! And do please try not to cry too loud tomorrow. Some of us still have to work (see quote number three..).
Is she proud to be an American yet?
Nay she just like spending our money.
you better believe she is proud. What about you ? are you still in the backwoods ? all the bi-partisan crap we have had to deal with is residual from the Bush era. You can't make these people come to any sense....take a whore to culture, but you can't make her think.....that's the GOP. They deny any education, culture and scientific facts....that is what I call REGRESSION. At that rate, the US will be a third world country in fifty years...can't let this happen.....
Is she proud to be an American yet?
Hey Jeff -
Is Willard? When the @!$%# got hot in Vietnam, it wasn't Michelle who high-tailed it to Paris to beat out having to serve our country. In fact the little Flip-Flopping prick supported the war before he took off....Some things never change...
O&Joe in 24 hours
obama campaigned on being the 'great uniter' and this country is more polarized then ever. He sees Americans as classes he can pander to...
Hey, gays, here's don't ask don't tell, now will you vote for me...
Hey, illegal aliens, here's the dream act, can I count on you now...
Hey, poor people, I've reduced the standards necessary to get welfare and food stamps.....
And all you people, you need to hate the rich because they are just evil.....
NICE LEADERSHIP!!
Don't forget REVENGE. A new political plank.
She was finally proud to be an American when they elected her husband.
She will be hating America again, just like her husband when they toss them out on there arses tomorrow night.
Not to worry...They are shopping for a $20 million dollar beach front home in Hawaii...After all, they are all about the 'common man' and can sympathize with them...don't ya know....
Hawaii would be a good place for them, a nice secluded place where we wouldn't have to hear of or see them again would be ideal. I would have thought he and the family would have moved to Hollywood to live among Jay Z and the other low life Hollywood celebs and pro athletes he has been hanging out with. What a joke these two have been.
It's not Mrs. Obama I'm worried about, it's the Rethuglicans who apparently aren't proud to be Americans while they preach their hate for one man, and throwing the country under the bus because of that hate. What we are witnessing is the death of the right wing. People are starting to open their eyes and see the twisted logic of the GOP.
Proud of America? hardly. Look at what she said:
"Your president is nowhere near satisfied," she said, making the pitch for a second term for her husband, President Barack Obama.
America and it's citizens are not even part of the equation.
Jerry,
Obama did not divide the country the Tea Party did by pushing the GOP so far to the right that it is now an extremist party.
Ok, hon, you've posted this enough. Whatever happened to 'hate the sin, love the sinner?'
Oh, I see. Love and tolerance are apparently liberal virtues, and not Christian ones any more.
Go pick up your check on fiverr, you're done.
No amount of party loyalty should outweigh honesty...
Ask yourself this simple question... If you vote for Romney, which one will you be voting for? I am not trying to be funny... Seriously, do you REALLY know if you will get the self described "severely conservative" Mitt Romney? Or will you get the "Moderate Mitt" Romney of late?
What would; he do regarding Roe V Wade? Would he start (or condone) a war with Iran? If you say you know the answer to these and the other major issues, you clearly have a crystal ball, because even the campaign has changed their tune on these things, sometimes more than once, and in a very short span.
The truth is, you can't know what Mitt will vote for or against, as Mr. Romney has been on both sides of every issue. If you vote on issues, it is therefore impossible to vote for Mitt Romney.
I don't agree with everything Obama has done, but at l;east I have a good idea of what he will do, and I am not willing to vote for smoke and mirrors...
only if it gets her douchebag husband some votes...
America......don't view Mr. and Mrs. Romney the same as Mr. and Mrs. Thurston Howell. They're just like us average americans and care for the 100%.
Nevada, STOP SPAMMING.
And Perturb, while Romney got his money by his Vulture Capitolism, using hostile takeovers and then saddling the business with the debt of that takeover, then when it goes bankrupt, breaking it up, selling off the parts and shipping the jobs and often the majority of the factories themselves to China, making well over 1/4 Billion dollars, is WAY DIFFERENT than President Obama who made his money from book sales, and only a portion of his wealth has been from his SALARY as President so NO, his wealth has NOT come from Tax Dollars, he EARNED it rather than like Romney who basically STOLE his.
Also, the Obamas have released their tax returns while Romney, for very good reasons (for him), has Not. The MAJOR reason WHY Romney has not released his tax returns: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-29/romney-avoids-taxes-via-loophole-cutting-mormon-donations.html
B. Honest... you'd best have plenty of Kleenex on hand tonight. I'll be soooo glad to get our country back from fools like you who are too blind or ignorant to recognize the disaster liberal policies have been. Get a clue or go back to watching Sponge Bob in your Mommy's basement !
steamboat-2397541
LOVE the name calling... It makes you sound so much older than 14...
Unfortunately, if you removed all that from your post, there wouldn't be anything left...
Wouldn't want to try and push her fat azz out of anything!
Dear Odumbo: When you lose the election, don't want to be your wife's be'ach...
Do as you're told by Republican Rick Santorum.....
" if Romney is the nominee of our party, YOU MIGHT AS WELL VOTE FOR OBAMA "
Do as your told by Obama:
Kneel and reach for "free" handouts in one hand, while flushing your vote and your children's future down the toilet with the other.
Latest poll from Florida shows Romney in the lead 52/47%. Maybe Obama sent Michelle to Florida to keep her out of the real close states. Romney will win Virginia by at least +5%. Romney is on his way to over 300 Electoral Votes.
It's a newspaper poll in a conservative city. An intentional outlier. Essentially a 'plant.' No predictive value whatsoever statewide.
I think Florida is much closer than that which some polls also point to. With the problems of early voting and overcrowded polls, there could be a lot of provisional and absentee ballots cast there. Unless it's a blowout, those extra ballots could close that gap and even reverse it. So, if Florida is a landslide, the networks will call it, but otherwise it could be in play for a day or more.
Romney will probably take it, but it's definitely still in play and not a given at this point.
Can we hear Meat Loaf sing "America the Beautiful" for Romney as he boards his private jet and heads for the Cayman's to lick his wounds following tomorrow's 'beat down'???
What about Marshall Tucker???
Pat Boone?
Meatloaf was pathetic. Why would Mitt have wanted to stand next to him! What a disgrace.
Yeah...just like loser Bruce today of AF1. Hypocritical a$$.

Our First Lady is wonderful, Beautiful and classy! We Love her! And to all who have to endure the long lines because of Republican's, Thank-you for standing up for your rights!
President Obama will be re-elected and we will continue to more forward!
Let's not Gloat, let's VOTE!
O&JOE Forward not Back!
Move forward towards Greece and over the cliff......
If obama NOW had such great plans for the economy, why didn't he implement them 4 years ago when he could have nipped this recession in the bud.....The Dems controlled the House and Senate. Obama choose ideology and a power grab (via obamacare) over helping the struggling middle class.
But NOW he has a plan....Trust me he says because NOW he has it all figured out....
Obama never created a job in his entire life. He went from community organizer to state senator and U.S. Senator (with more 'present' votes then any senator in history). Doesn't have the b*lls to take a stand and make a vote.....Gutless.....
Obama and Michelle sat in Rev Wright's church for 20 years listening to him spew his racial and U.S. hatemongering. What were they doing for 20 years? Sleeping? They were soaking it all in! Obama called Wright a mentor.
Obama is ignorant when it comes to economic issues...Not a clue....He thinks businesses are obligated to hire people just because he says to. Businesses are under NO obligation to hire anyone. And here's some bad news for those looking for a job...Businesses have figured out how to get by and maintain with the staffing that they have...Business owners do not take a risk and expand their business unless they see a realistic risk to reware ratio. If obama is elected, the next 4 years will show the same pitiful, non-existant job growth because businesses see more risk under obama (due to his constant demonizing of business) then they do reward. It will be a long, long 4 years if you are currently unemployed. Businesses will NOT be hiring under obama. They don't have to and he can't make them.
Just to show how ignorant obama is regarding economic matters. He couldn't understand why businesses wouldn't hire someone just because they would get a $2,500 tax credit. Are you kidding me...Take a person's salary, add another 33% on it for benefits, and just a $50,000 job now becomes a $65,000 expense to the company. But hey, that's government math...I'll give you 2,500 if you spend 65,000.
"Your president is nowhere near satisfied,". Mrs. Obama neither are the American People!
Jerry, you might want to do some research before you open that ignorant mouth of yours.
The GOP has spent the last 4 years doing everything they can to stall the recovering and tank it as best they can. So that the President wouldn't be re-elected. They've advanced no alternative proposals and have in general behaved like self entitled brats whenever negotiations come up. Even a 90% cuts 10% tax raises wasn't good enough for them when the debt ceiling vote came up. They ended up with a worse deal than that because they wouldn't work with the President when the moderate republicans had to cave.
As for job creation, Bain never created any jobs and Romney's plans, whatever they are, won't create jobs. Jobs are created because there is demand for it. Demand does not spring up via tax cuts for the rich. They spring up because people have spending money.
Erank you are confusing him with facts but he is not listening anyway
moochelle is disgusting...like her feckin' husband.......
And Basketcasecoach, that is exactly why the Republican party will suffer its biggest losses ever. We are tired of the Party of No stonewalling the American people and serving their own interest rather than ours.
DisgustedConservative
If you're disgusted now, wait till tomorrow when Willard has his ass handed to him....LOL....
O&Joe in 24 hours
Obama's ass was already handed to him 3 times during the debates, tomorrow will be one more.
Don't let them push you out of line? What line? The unemployment line? The food stamp line? Maybe the line of people trying to get food, water and gas in the Northeast?
Yeah, we know the Obamas want to keep everybody in line.
I see that the Rethuglicans are still stumbling and blundering from one day to the next. It's what they do and what they do best.
Romney/Ryan, Tea Party...... R I P
Wow.
Further proof that Democrats learned nothing from the largest congressional party flip since WWII handed to them in the 2010 midterms.
P.S.
When you have to resort to importing foreign criminals for votes, it should be painfully obvious that you are finished as a political party.
Michele, YOUR BS is not working. And who's pushing someone out of line? Noone! Are you still on a hate binge?
I see the right wing haters have come out to ridicule our elegant First Lady, an attorney, loving Mother & wife; and very accomplished woman respected and admired the world over.
You'd think instead they would address voter suppression.

Obama/Biden 2012
I think it's all she's good at. She certainly is not the material that First Ladies should be made of.
Tammy...why don't you tell us what you really mean? Never mind, we already know. Shame on you.
She was pretty good at her last job, rerouting poor people away from her hospital so the rich patients didn't have to be annoyed by them. It's ok, they went to a separate but equal clinic. LOL
She's not RESPECTED all over the world but she sure has TRAVELLED all over the world at tax payer expense on Air Force 1 along with her enormous posse of hanger's on.....
Sorry Jerry. Wrong again. She is respected around the world. Take your seat in the back of the bus with lucky and the rest of the small minds.
It would be my pleasure tomorrow to send her to some other part of the world where they can respect her even more and listen to her bullsh*t....
Americans are tired of her 'world-hopping' on Air Force 1.......
The day michelle obama announced her new lunch plan for the 'commoners' (because parents just don't know what's best for their kids, don't ya know but she does)...Here's the menu at her children's PRIVATE school:
Pizza
Cheesecake
Chicken marsala
Salad
Cream of mushroom soup
It's all good for you and your kids but not mine...Typical socialist crap...Rules are for the common people....
hey moochelle???..oink oink!!!
She is an outstanding First Lady, classy, intelligent, low-key. Love you, Mrs. O!
O&Joe 2012
No kid likes her menu and the food gets wasted.
she sucks...like her husband....you libbies are fools!!
You have a very odd definition of "low key."
Flip Flopney......happy trails, and don't you come back no more no more no more no more.
Romney......one way ticket to cayman islands, departing Nov 7, 2012
Right after he files that amended tax return for 2011 claiming the charitable deductions he didn't take because it would have dropped his tax rate below 10 percent. What a slime.
That he claimed he gave the Mormon church but didn't.
That's a classy flipper.
If someone tries to push you out of line, CALL 911. Don't let those slimy republicans keep you from voting. I voted already and I am proud to say it was for President Obama.
O&Joe 2012 Keep Liar Romney out of the White House!!!!!!!!!!!
Bet we didn't hear a peep out of you when the Black Panthers were intimidating voters in 2008. Liberals are NUTS. Push this.
There were three of them. At one polling place. In 2007. And the Bush (read again, BUSH) administration refused to prosecute.
But then, Romney's campaign isn't going to be run by fact-checkers, is it? Or facts, for that matter.
If someone tries to keep you from voting punch them in the mouth.
The angry black woman has spoken...
excessivelyperky... Black Panthers at a polling place in 2007? What polling place in 2007? What election in 2007? What you are talking about happened in 2008 in Philadelphia on Election Day and it is Eric Holder, Obama's Attorney General, who pulled the prosecution begun by the Bush administration.
Get your facts straight - the entire incident even rates a Wikipedia listing, you numbskull! 2007. Seriously.
She is good at turning on the tears when needed. She talks about race, but shes the racist.. She hates America..
America has her # and it's all over on Nov. 6, 2012.
Michelle's is very popular among Americans Her favorability rating is 70 percent. I guess that puts you in the minority.
Black Americans maybe....and all the other ignoramuses watching 'The View' who think Whoppi Goldberg and Joy Behar have 'class'....
Sorry Jerry. Among all Americans. I guess that puts you in the minority with lucky. You two should enjoy each others company.
Better to be in the intelligent minority with integrity then in the idiotic majority with no moral compass....
Thats a very liberal way of looking at it. Whatever make you and lucky feel better Jerry.
jerry,
no where in the four dimensions is your minority the intelligent one. More like the racist one where they believe the bull crap that only Blacks and crackers can like this President or his wife.
she is as despicable as her traitorous husband...
Hey mccaddyshack- name one act of treason that the President enacted, ONE. Do you know the definition of treason? Or are you taking out your backside pucker hole. STFU you ignorant hillbilly
Gotta be proud of ole Flip Flopney.....
lied his way to the nomination, lied his was through the presidential campaign, and convinced more than a million blind sheep that he ACTUALLY cares about them. good job, Flip. you are a total disgrace and insult to politics...and that hurts
happy trails
The bottom line is do we really want a president who is afraid to even do an interview with his friends at Fox news. His handlers are afraid of his foot ending up in his mouth. He is unqualified to be President. He has changed his positions so many times that no matter what he says on an issue, it conflicts with something he has said in the last 12 months. Happens a lot when you change youre mind as much as Mitt does.
Why hasn't obama had a press conference in months and months? Reason, he is a coward and can't handle the tough questions...Instead, he goes on Leno, The View, some D.J. Pimp somebody's radio show and gets really tough questions like: 'Boxers or briefs', ' Mr President, how do you do such a great job of balancing your responsibilities'...'What music do you have on your phone'.....
He is a coward with no leadership abilities....He is a pathological liar.....He stood before the U.N. and said six times that the Bengazi attacks were because of youtube movie...Now, he say that we don't know what happened. We know what happened....The SEALS called their Commander In Chief and he turned his back on them because, to give them the help they needed did not fit hi 'al qaida is on the run' narrative he had been spewing at the convention. Coward in the nth degree.....
He has done plenty of interviews compared to zero for Romney/Ryan in the last month. ZERO, zilch, nada, none. Romney/Ryan handlers decided they had to shut up the boys because they couldnt keep their lies straight or their past statements hidden.
HaHa. Obama didn't even bother to go to the NAACP National Convention because he didn't care... he knows they will vote for him no matter how awful he is.
I'd hardly consider 'The View', 'Leno', D.J. Pimpy Limp, etc credible interviews. He avoids press conferences with reporters who can ask 'off the cuff' questions because he is a babbling fool unless he is asked the nice softball questions...
Plenty of time for all the above but no time to meet with America's only true ally in the middle east -- Israel. Not a SINGLE trip to Israel in 4 years but plenty to China, Libya, Syria, Egypt and other American hating countries. He is a muslim at heart......
Jerry....Learn to count. Romney/Ryan did ZERO. They werent even allowed to talk to friends at FOX for a fluff piece.
Romney also refused to participate in the Youth Debate. The first and only candidate in its 16 year history to refuse. You know what they say - judge a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
guy......you mean he contradicts himself within the last 12 DAYS. he's a ONE MAN DEBATE
And Obama still isn't even half a debate; an empty chair.
Is this really all the Turds have. Don't let someone push me out of line.
Sound like freaxing 2 year olds.
Maybe that's why Obama base is 6 to 12 year olds. It's all Moo chell can relate to.
Sounds better than what privileged Princess Ann said "it's our turn" (to be in the white house) like a playground 12 year old wanting to get on the seesaw
"Your president is nowhere near satisfied," she said, making the pitch for a second term for her husband, President Barack Obama.
And isn't that what it's all about?.... if some politician is satisfied. (sarcasm)
Could you possibly say anything to more obviously show how little you care about anything meaningful to the nation or its citizens?
"My husband isn't satisfied yet... you better give him what he wants." - Michell O.
moochelle is a moron....
mccaddyshack- you're an ignorant inbred hillbilly, go back to your cabin in the mountains and have some fun with your sister.
I've never heard of anyone getting pushed out of a voting line. Where do these idiot liberals get this stuff? If she trying to incite violence?
Hey, Ed: just get ready for President Romney, okay? Say it with me: PRESIDENT ROMNEY! LOUDER!! Hell, you'll be screamin' it tonite, baby. Friggin' liberal scum.
Obama campaign has done nothing but bash Romney.
It's all Obama has. He has nothing to run on but lies and fraud.
America is all Romney/Ryan
yep..obama had to go and dig up 'Ole Slick Willy Bill Clinton' and point to all of Clinton's accomplishments (so-called) because obama had none of his own. You would think that, after 4 years, he would be proud of his own record but he runs from it as far as he can.....His entire campaign has been bash the other guy...Americans aren't buying it...Americans want leadership and obama the coward has shown NONE!
Obama didn't even have a plan for the next 4 years...He came up with one after the 3rd debate because Romney kept asking where it was. Obama couldn't even get a single Dem vote for his most recent budget because it was so ridiculous. He can't even get Harry Reid to pass a budget in the Senate. It's been nearly 4 years and the Senate has not passed a budget (controlled by Dems).
Oh look. The lucky, jerry tag team.
WOW. You are perturbed. Glad you are so open about your sexuality. Rushbo needs to come out of that big closet he lives in too.
LUCKY...
listen to your republican, rick santorum........just vote for obama
hoos- Listen to your mom... brush your teeth and go to bed. Its past your bedtime.
btw......anybody seen "W" on the Romnesia campaign trail???? Newt??? Santorum? Perry???
Guess that tells YOU all YOU need to know about how the REPUBLICAN 'heavyweights' feel about Flip Flopney.
nuff said
If you think bill clinton likes and respects obama, you are a fool...Clinton is playing this game for one reason....Hilary in 2016, so he thinks.....
I guess this must be all that uniting of the country Big O was telling us about in 08. Now he tells you vote with revenge, Thats presidential.
And the last four years of lies and deceit have been so much better because????
