        HOWARD DOESN'T REALLY CARE WHAT FACE THE PREZ HAS AS LONG AS IT'S WHITE. IT'S A KLAN THING.

      So do you, Howard but both are looking up your own backside and cannot see anything past your hatred of our President.

        @ Howard,

        As you have the 1st amendment right to say what you did, I have the same 1st amendment right to say what you said was childish and ridiculous! One does not have to be a liberal to see how low your remarks are, which is truly non sensical!

        NOTHING WRONG WITH EATING DOGS IF HE BELIEVES IN EATING DOGS.
        ROMNEY ON THE OTHER HAND WILL EAT DOO DOO IF IT'S POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT. HOWARD EATS DOG DOO DOO BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT REPUBLITARDS DO.

        DEcemeber and Howard,

        I was told this is adult swim time! Both of you need to get out of the pool, and make it snappy!

        @ Steveo
        ... Steveo your condescending attempt to rise above the fray, is amusing. Arguing with you Obama stooges is an exercise in futility. It's obvious that your Alinsky tactics, have zero concern for the truth ... for all you fools think about is maintaining your free lunch from Obama ... or, keeping a black man in office ... or, your desire to tear down the United States of America. You can sing to the choir, here on CNN, but the rest of America is waking up to your underhanded, dishonest tactics. So, you better get used to the idea that your liar and chief, Barack Obama, will be evicted from the people's White House, in November ... as he should have been 3 1/2 years ago.

        Howard,

        News flash! I am not liberal and not a Dem AND did not vote for Obama! Yet that does not stop me from trying to be honest and respectful! I've been on this site since October and if you've been paying attention, you would have noticed me saying I am NOT a DEM/Liberal! Glad that you are amused Howard but sorry you cannot state your views with respect and intelligence! Let's breakdown your accusations about me:

        Free lunch? Strike one Howard as I am gainfully employed and pay taxes!

        Tearing down this Country? Strike two Howard as i served my country in uniform and did so for over 25 years! How about you?

        Keeping a black man in office? Strike three as skin color does matter to me Howard, policies do!

        I repeat, I am NOT a Dem nor a Liberal nor did I cast a vote for Obama. Beyond all of that, I still can be respectful! I have challenged the left on the lack of respect and it would be hypocritical of me not to do so for those on the right! I choose not to be hypocritical in the same way you choose to be disrepectful!

        I cannot make you do anything Howard, all I'm doing is just putting the suggestion out there, you do with it what you will! As far as trying to be above the fray, don't knock it until you try it!

      I can't speak for Howard, bless his soul, but yes I follow obama's every move as I have done for all presidents since LBJ...and I intend to follow this fraud to the exit door in November...I promise I won't let the door hit him in his @ss.

        THE ONLY FRAUDS HERE ARE YOU AND YOUR ILK WHO CANNOT SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS PRESIDENT BECAUSE OF YOUR PREJUDICES.

        How can you follow Obama's every move with your head up your a$$?

    Romney had a nice sit down with Republicans at a picnic table. They had ice tea and he listened to them tell him that they felt they needed and did not mind to pay more taxes for the betterment of schools. Two things Romney is against. Raising taxes and the Dept. of Education.

    • jerry

      doesn't mean a thing to you that our educational system is a mess does it? The dollar is worth half of what is was just a few years ago, the middle east is a mess NO one can see the end of nor predict, no jobs and no hope. You had better pray we get a change in DC...

        HEY JERRY, IT'S 2012. THE BUSH YEARS ARE LONG GONE SO STOP YOUR MOANING.

        @DEecember 2012,

        Well said my friend. Do me a favor and pass that onto the administration, it doesn't appear they know "Bush years are long gone" either! Thanks

    Jerry has been following Obama's every move by watching Fox News. So please excuse him. Jerry if you want change in Washington, vote the Tea Party out of Congress. That was this country's biggest mistake.

    @ HOWARD.....if Obama has 2 faces, then Flipper Mitt has greater than or equal to 7 of them. He loves to talk from the one located on his ARSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The State of Ohio has messed up sometimes in an Election. They usually correct in the next election. Isn't there a Senator also up for election this year in Ohio? If so he is also going to also get the boot. Don't forget, the country still has huge problems. Whoever gets elected thay ain't going away with this next electiion.

    As an Ohio voter, I will NEVER vote for Romney for the simple fact that I do not trust him. Just like Rick, Newt and all the other Republicans running for office, they are all liars, cheats and thieves and would sell their own mother into slavery to win the Whitehouse. Ron Paul is the ONLY GOP contender I would vote for so if RP doesn't get the nomination or run 3rd party, Obama gets my vote. Say what you like about Paul, he doesn't change his views to fit the crowd and he doesn't back away from his past or his statements.

    • Alesia

      Cheers! I with everything you've just said- including your thoughts about Ron Paul. If Obama wasn't running for office, I'd probably be a Ron Paul supporter. All the other Repub contenders are just saying WHATEVER it takes to appeal to whichever crowd for the day. Utterly despicable. A blind man with no ears, should be able to sense that Mitt Romney is the most disingenuous individual with a hidden agenda.

    • Howard

      ... And you trust Obama more ??? Obama's own videos reveal countless contradictions and lies. Obama relies on the gullible fools like you, who continue to believe his obvious B.S., even when there are mountains of actual video tape, proving his lies.

      April 19, 2012 at 12:00 pm |
      • DAK

        Yes, I trust Obama more than any Republican (other than Ron Paul) simply because if the Right has to tell so many lies about Obama, there must be a reason. It's like the boy who cried wolf and when the real wolf came by, no one would listen. The GOP has told so many lies about Obama, I don't believe anything out of a Republican's mouth now.
