Subscribe to RSSNBC’s Shawna Thomas covers Obama’s final rally in Des Moines last night. “For the final campaign event of the 2012 cycle, President Barack Obama returned to where his bid for presidency began. At a rally downtown here, against the backdrop of the capital, the president and first lady Michelle Obama took the crowd back four years ago, when they were campaigning at the state fair and celebrating the birthday of one of their daughters. ‘Tomorrow we get the chance to finish what we started in Iowa,’ the first lady said before introducing her husband. Talking about those early days in Iowa, the president appeared emotional as he started by thanking the volunteers gathered. ‘All of you who have lived and breathed the hard work of change, I want to thank you,’ Obama said.”
More: "It’s out of my hands now,” Obama said. “It’s in yours. All of it depends on what you do.”

It's out of Romney's pockets. Now he'll be in to yours.
His billionaires have bought half of you. Now you can pay them back.
Suckers!
You're an idiot....Obama has scammed you libtards from DAY 1
He spent the first 2 years trying to solidify his place in history by cramming a national healthcare plan down our throats instead of making policy to help create jobs!
He had 2 years of Democratic Senate and House and BLEW IT!!!
Now it's time to pack your bags Obama!
Hit the road and dont come back!!!
And believe it they will get their money back, one way or the other.
Tomorrows Headline:
ROMNEY WINS!!!...RECORD REPUBLICAN VOTER TURNOUT!!!
Hey Ticked,
Obama made good on his promises, not all of them, but the ones that count, even with GOP obstruction at every turn.
You can never say the same about the GOP.
When was the last time they did what hey ran on?
What has the GOP done for America in the last 40 years?
Hey BO2012: Trying to talk sense to Tricked in Ohio is like trying to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time, and annoys the pig.
What I'm wondering is, after our President is reelected in spite of the GOP lies-and-hate campaign, are there going to be prosecutions of the hordes of Republican voting-fraud operatives?
If we prosecute them for attempting to rig the election, their inbred, uneducated, FOX Entertainment-watching footsoldiers will start a campaign of violence- like an enraged child smashing his toys.
If we don't prosecute them, it's a clear signal to Rove, Preibus and the Kochs that it's OK to try to steal elections because even if they're caught red-handed, as they already have been in many places, Democratic officials won't attempt to uphold the law by punishing Republican felons.
It's just a hell of a quandry, isn't it?
HEY BO,
WHICH PROMISES DID HE MAKE GOOD ON???...JUST LIST THE ONES THAT "COUNT" PLEASE
THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING....
Psyco in Ohio
Being a health care worker you don't think this legislation will not only keep jobs for people like myself, but create more jobs in the field? Dope!
He, also, had 2 years of record filibustering in THOR. Dope! Dope!
XD LMAOROTF!!!!!!!!!! Yeah right! You have any really good jokes, Psyco?
THE ONLY JOBS OBAMACARE WILL CREATE ARE GOVERNMENT JOBS IDIOT!!!
AND GUESS WHO HAS TO PAY FOR THEIR SALARIES AND THEIR PENSIONS???
THATS RIGHT WE DO!!!
ON TOP OF THAT...WE WILL HAVE A SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS BECAUSE WILL BE LEAVING THE FIELD AND BECOME ENGINEERS OR SCIENTISTS...BECAUSE OBAMACARE WILL ONLY PAY ABOUT 2/3 OF WHAT THE DOCTORS CHARGE FOR.
You are brilliant bumpkin....*eyeroll*
Obama made no mention of creating government jobs, psyco, okay? He kept indicating bringing back manufacturing jobs.
Do us all a favor and just STFU, okay. You are making a total a$$ of yourself.
BTW, OHIO is going to OBAMA, troll!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
YOU'RE PROBABLY THE BIGGEST IDIOT TO EVER POST HERE!
THE GOVT IS GOING TO HIRE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO ADMINISTRATE OBAMACARE!
ON TOP OF THOSE THEY ARE GOING TO HIRE THOUSANDS OF IRS AGENTS TO ENFORCE THE HEALTHCARE LAW!
....and you are the biggest Republicon troll ever. But, I don't have to SHOUT to make my point when it comes to you.
Wait, are you some kind of clairvoiant Rtroll? You know something the other trolls don't, or just making sh*t up like Etch?
I think its a little of both.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Just as I thought...
You cant accept the truth and admit Obamacare will only create government jobs and cost us trillions of dollars in taxes. Just like the rest of the libtards you bury your head in the sand and take it up the a$$
ROMNEY WINS!!!....RECORD REPUBLICAN VOTER TURNOUT!!!
When you are small and nobody cares you have to shout to be heard. It is like the chihuaua in the dog pack, he's there but when they are all barking he's harder to hear than the bigger dogs. Then when the big dogs are quiet the little rat looking dog still keeps yapping for no reason but to hear himself yap.
What our ticked off friend in Ohio doesn't realize is that government jobs are JOBS regardless who is footing the bill. If you want to be responsible for your own home security and put out the fire if your house burns down be my guest because those government employees you love to hate, ticked, won't be there to help you.
Are you willing, ticked off, to pave the street in front of your house and around your village, town or city? We wouldn't want GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, doing that would we? Of course the DMV is made up of government employees so when your drivers license expieres there would, in your world, be no government employees to renew your license so you can drive away but on your way home that GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE police officer can haul your tail off to jail for driving without a license.
Those GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES called soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines are keeping your silly arse safe but we don't want any government employees do we ticked off in Ohio.
With your screen name I would suggest you take a course in anger management. If you cannot afford a course I am sure an agency of your local or state government can see that you get one free of charge.
Oh, and by the way, the Republican party, calling itself the Grand Old Party is neither grand nor old in comparison to the Democratic party. First the Republican party is significantly smaller these days than ever and it is the younger of the two parties by a few decades.
Astutely said, Baldeagle. I think Psyco in Ohio really, desperately, would like the last word. But fails in his last word message to the patriots of this country.
BTW chihuahaus have nothing on pit bulls.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Hey baldeagle
You're an idiot too...not that I give a rats ass what you think ...I use the caps and bold to see the posts better...
I'm not talking about military or any of the other govt jobs you're ranting about
I'm talking about UNNECESSARY govt jobs that will result because of OBAMACARE and cost the taxpayer TRILLIONS of dollars for nothing
OBAMACARE IS NOTHING BUT THE DEMOCRATS WAY TO RAISE TAXES AND GROW GOVT
We already had medicaid to pay for low and no income people and it's against the law for any hospital to refuse treatment
So there was NO REASON for OBAMACARE other than to FEED OBAMAS EGO and rake in more taxes!
AND THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DO NOT WANT OBAMACARE!!!!
Psyco in Ohio
You have no basis, or facts about any garbage you are babbling about. None. Just conjecture. Point to something that says trillions have gone up in smoke.
The real truth that trolls like you don't want to face up to is that Romeny is so livid that someone took his idea and put it on a national platform that he doesn't get credit for it.
That gets under his skin and yours, too, Psyco. Face it.
All of Americans NEED the AHA aka "Obamacare" that Republicons actually came up with, dope.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
I think "bold&capskeystuckinOhio" woke up on the wrong side of the election this morning... Poor little fella.
YES IT IS IN OUR HANDS. Start packing and get the hell out of OUR house.
Yeah, Mike, that's right; It's Ann's turn, she said so herself! The Koch/Adelson regime's designers are already picking out the decor for the residence formerly known as 'The People's House'; early rumours are that they're going with a theme of burned wheatfields and hanged peasants... lest we forget to doff our caps before our masters.
HAR! Sorry, pal, your corporate-statist regime (also known as Fascism, for those of you who only read one book) has just taken a deadly blow, and over the next four years, We The People, using our own will in the shape of Occupy, Anonymous, and many others, are going to break the back of corporate statism for all time to come. VIVA LA DEMOCRACIA! SI SE PUEDE! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
Mike the only thing in YOUR hands is Republicon troll sh*t!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
I used my hands to cast my ballot for President Obama. I think, if America elects Romney, we'd regret it almost immediately. For one thing, Romney only knows how to attack his opponents, Barack Obama treats even his critics with respect. Romney only respects those with money, he may shed a tear for hurricane victims; but his mind is always focused on furthering the agenda of the 1%.
Amy: I also used my hands to vote for President Obama. I also did everything but use my hands to help a neighbor and was pleased to see he voted as I.
Amy, it's pretty clear you haven't been watching the same campaign season I have.
I've voted in presidential elections since '72, and I've never seen a campaign so negative, and so much about the "small", as Obama's reelection strategy.
Win or lose, Obama has lost a lot of credibility and good will this election cycle. Turns out he's just an average political animal, willing to sacrifice integrity for a few votes.
For me, despite any misgivings, I'm voting Romney. He gives us the best chance for recovery, and will govern from the middle.
Commonamerican you've been duped once again by the lies of Romney and the republicans. I cast my vote for President Obama.
Commonamerican: You very gullible. Would like to sell you a bridge I'm not using....
Commonamerican,
The pot calling the tea kettle black.
Wow Commonamerican1 you must have missed 2000, and 2004! If you think Etch is you best choice nobody can help you brother, or sister. Sorry.
Etch has NO CRED! None!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Commonsense, I saw Romney speak in person at a rally in Portland during the Republican primaries, and I was not impressed.
Talk about a "small" candidate, Romney gave a boilerplate right wing speech and left even the friendly crowd of Maine Republicans cold.
The first presidential candidate I voted for was Gerald Ford, but that kind of Republican politician with integrity has disappeared, Romney is certainly not a Ford.
I would hope you used your hands. It would be difficult otherwise.
Your opinion, and an opinion not shared with others.
You can't be serious Amy, Barack attacked with lies, everything regarding Mitt Romney. The man is the great Divider. Of the two, Mitt came across appearing more presidential than Barry. Even your left wing stooge pundits mentioned the lack of presence with Barack.
Another liberal myth Amy. Again your opinion, and not a true statement.
And why do you libs always focus on money - there is nothing wrong with making money, is there? There is no fairness in the world, no matter how libs want fairness to be.
Why is it fair that I bust my butt in school to succeed, go into the business world to achieve, then have to pay someone else for what I accomplished? Is it fair that someone who didn't work as hard as me participate in my success?
Wouldn't it be more fair to have excessive government waste identifyed and removed from the budget? Wouldn't it be more fair to reduce the expense of government? Shouldn't states have more right to spend their own tax money rather than send it to big government to administer unfairly?
And we can go on and on, but it's a losing battle to discuss fairness with liberals. Libbies only see it one-way. Divide the masses, divide the rich from their money, and continue to spend what we as a nation don't have.
I voted today, and I voted for the RIGHT man.
Amy, Are you also a supporter of Frank Marshall Davis, Derrick Bell, Jeremiah Wright, Saul Alinsky, William Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn?
Here's a good idea. How about a flat tax where everyone pays the same percentage. No exemptions, deductions, or tax breaks. The more you make, the more you pay. Isn't that what everyone wants, for those who make more to pay more? That's fair.
hey 1funnymormongirl... it worked, we're all laughing. But you still get no planet and the level of heaven you'll reach is only marginally improved, what with you being a woman and all.
funnygirl, I agree we should remove government waste, let's start with the stimulus funds Paul Ryan asked Joe Biden to send to his state.
That's whats so irritating about Republicans - their hypocrisy. Romney acts all patriotic, but evidence suggests he paid zero taxes for sixteen years. We know he and his sons declined to serve their country during war. A great country doesn't exist without people willing to pay taxes and serve in the military, in both areas Romney comes up short.
1funnygirl
Too bad you were so wrong. Are you going to follow "the will of the American people now"? As you put it?
You seem smart just so misinformed.
I'm part of the 47% Romney despises ... why would i vote for someone who hates me or is willing to cut me off at the knees .... ridiculous .... i make less than 250,000.00 a year ... that puts me in the 47% ..... hope all u people making more than $250,000.00 a year get what u want ... the rest of us WANT, NEED and WILL GET OBAMA ...
Wall Street overwhelming endorses Romney ... that outta tell you something ..... Obama put the hammer down on wall street ,,, they don't like it ...
OBAMA 2012 LET'S GO VOTE FOR THE 47%
Ticked off in Ohio it's time to put the BS away and wait for and except the results of the election. Your wild predictions mean nothing to anyone anymore the results will be what they are you can't change that.
YES. its now in the hands of the BLACK PANTHERS at the Philly polls again assuring no whites can vote. That's ok, libs, right?
Funny there's no mention of this on MSNBullSh**
From CNN's Ali Velshi: "RE: Black Panther - there appears to be 1 New Black Panther at 1 polling station in Philadelphia. He is a voting monitor."
Ah yes... But he's BLACK!!! One black man far outweighs entire white organizations such as "True (screw) the vote" positioning "volunteer" observers all over hell and back to keep a keen eye out for in-person voter fraud... the newest most non-existent red herring ever to breath life back into Jim Crowe...
Reality check... Quit acting like such a schlub.
it is my hope that the dems pull out a big victory and send this republican party packing for a very long time.
obama/biden for the people!
I am watching Juliani right now and he is boasting a Romeny win. Sure. He loves the old Bush policies that made him rich, why not?
Scum bag. I lost total respect for him that I had since 9/11.
All Rudy's doing is patting himself on the back and talking about 911. Rudy Juliani is still a big joke.
Cross dressing tool that talks like Elmer Fudd.
Rudy is a small fish in a huge lake. He is trying so hard to be a big fish but it just isn't happening.
Voting is always in the hands of the voters! The people will always decide in a Democracy who will be President. Hey America! Have you read the full story yet of what the GOP/Tea Beggers did on Janruary 20, 2009? It would be a great idea that every citizen. Reads about the TeaBegger "Conspiracy" that took place at the Caucus Steakhouse Restaurant in Washington D.C.? Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The whole Party Of NO has got to go! The GOP/TeaBeggers in the House are obstructionists, disloyal, no common sense, no character values, and are economically treasonous. The GOP/RNC Congress has got to go America!
Tomorrows headline: Ohioan who is ticked off has head explode.
Synopsis of the story:
An Ohio resident ticked off that his candidates didn't win the election yesterday was rushed to a local trauma center with a splitting headache. Before the paramedics to get him there his head literally exploded due to his angst. Doctors will try and do what they can to patch the holes caused by the explosion.....more at 11.
Four years from now, Social Security will be protected, Medicare won't be outsourced, Obamacare will be in full effect and accepted, recovery from the Bush depression, four new non-winger Supreme Court judges will be in place, the wealthy are paying their fair share again, and the Clinton surplus back. Of course NONE of this would happen under Romney.
Right on Ricardo!
it's back in your hand's mister president keep up the fight for the good.
