  1. About what we expect

    And yet another day where Obama does nothing to help the American people.

    Over 6 months since he met with his own jobs council.. we can clearly see where his priorities aren't.

      Obama has always been a coward. After registering minorities to vote in Illinois, he ran for senate, only to cancel out their votes, by disqualifying his opponent (a black woman) on a technicality. Obama attended Wrght's church for TWENTY YEARS, to create a political base in the Black community ... only to throw Wright under the bus, when it benefited him, for political expediency. Obama ruthlessly used baseless character assassination to destroy the reputations of all who stood in the way of his self-serving ambitions. Obama is a lying snake oil salesman, who will say, or do anything to hold onto power. America is much more important than Obama ... Obama is replaceable ... America is not ... Save America, replace Obama with Romney & Ryan in November.

      It's so easy to tell the college student, don't worry you can move back into your parents house and have them support you, I already made sure THEY pay for your healthcare insurance.

      AMERICA'S CHOICE:

      OBAMA ... WHO PUT US 16 TRILLION IN DEBT & 8.3% UNEMPLOYMENT

      ROMNEY ... Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in
      Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores
      employing 90,000 people.

      Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds of business
      miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy,
      Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group,
      Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.

    Obama uses America's diversity as a wedge issue for his own political gain.
    America deserves a president that celebrates our diversity through unity.

    Heres what the seals think of the inept admin. Biden told "lame jokes" no one understood, reminding him of "someone's drunken uncle at Christmas dinner." if the shoe fits ......

    Shoting Osama multiple times after he was already shot in the head is proof that Seal Team Six had orders to kill Osama, not capture him. Quite a contrast to the lies from WH about Osama reaching for a weapon.

      You're an idiot and always be an idiot and no amount of money spend on your education will change that. What a waste.

        DEcember 2012 worships Obama and thinks he can do no wrong. Even I can't be fooled the third time...

      COME ON, I AM JUST STATING THE OBVIOUS. NO NEED TO GET ALL UNCIVIL LIKE A COMMON REPUBLITARD.

      IF YOU THINK THAT I DON'T SEE OBAMA AS A REGULAR PERSON WHO CAN MAKE MISTAKES, YOU MUST BE A REPUBLITARD. YOU MORONS JUST TAKE IT INTO A WHOLE ANOTHER LEVEL. IF YOU CAN STOP THE BUTTHURT COMMENTS, THEN I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO RESPOND TO NOW DO I? IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE EVEN A CHILD CAN UNDERSTAND IT. YOU REPUBLITARDS HAVE GONE STUPID ON SO MANY LEVELS THOUGH, I DOUBT YOU STILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY.

    Until the President explains his taking the exit to health care in the middle of our recession his chances of re-election will remain in doubt. He must explain how urgent health insurance is for many and thus demanded his immediate action. Then he can lay out his new agenda on moving forward now!!! Hopefully Reinstating Glass-Steagall will be his top priority. Our nation is foundering without guidance particularly in financial responsibilty starting with Wall Street!!!

    He is courting college kids because most of them do not have to worry about the jobs numbers for another few more years.

    By that time it is after the election and then it wont matter anymore.

    If you're a mormon:
    You believe in a man named Joseph Smith that declared himself a general against the American Government and then said he would create a Theocratic Monarchy with himself at its head.
    You also believe in a man named Joseph Smith that married a 14 year old girl – even though he already had plural wives – because he told the child's family they would receive instant eternal salvation if they gave her to him (Smith).
    You also believe in becoming a god after this life if you have committed to and followed all of your temple rituals sincerely and without deviance.
    You also believe that anyone that is not a mormon will NOT be allow to be with Jesus Christ or God, no matter how good they are, if they do not accept your gospel (religion) to be the only true church. For example. Mother Teresa will not be in heaven if she does not accept a posthumous baptism in the after life.
    You also believe that you must take on secret temple names, wear garments (underwear) that has secret symbols that are used in secret rituals in the temple as well as a blood oath that began in 1843, but ended in 1990 when there was a general uproar amongst non-mormons that found out about this particular ritual.
    You also believe Blacks and Native Americans were marked with dark skin for being evil in the pre-life or because they just displeased god.
    You believe that once you are a god of your own world, you with your heavenly wife will create spirit children that will then fill the earthly bodies of human on your own particular planet that you rule over...meaning that you are already (in certain terms) better than the God that created this planet.
    You do believe that Lucifer and Jesus were and are brothers. Sign A TRUE Conservative Republican."

    So the Republicans are going to settle on an east coast, elite, millionaire from an aristocratic family? What is his experience that will make him a successful Conservative President?
    1. He fires people, lays off employees, and outsources jobs while pocketing the pension funds of those same employees.
    2. He is comfortable in an upper class setting. After all, America IS the upper class, isn't it? The little people, like you and I, are not really very important. People of Romney's class and background see us as livestock that can understand English.
    3. He does not care if Americans suffer. He has made lots of them suffer so far in his life. He's made of tough stuff. No weepy compassion will ever cloud his judgment.
    4. He knows how to destroy corporations and sell off their assets. He could use those skills to destroy the federal government, a stated goal of Conservatism
    5. After the Romney Administration is over in 2016 or 2018, Conservatives will say, "Hey, you can't blame us for the disastrous Romney Administration. He wasn't a TRUE Conservative. What we need is a TRUE Conservative like Ron Paul or Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum … or maybe govornor Palin."

    I used to be a repub till congress was taken over by the tea party and Romney as our candidate.I cannot support a man who is a draft dodger and a tax evader.The repub congress has done nothing for vets,nothing for the middleclass.All of the good repubs have gone or have been forced out by the extremists that care nothing for the average joe or veterans like myself.Until we get real candidates that care for the middleclass and vets I will not vote for the repubs.Honor and respect,and caring for this nation is what the repubs used to stand for ,now we have wackjobs from the tea party holding america hostage and thats as un patriotic as it gets,it is hurting many americans,our economy and soldiers who are looking for work. Romney is not the answer he is the problem with America with his lies and phony religion...Sorry this voter will stay an ex repub till the party becomes honerable again.
