Is that the plug in electric?....I'm a Ford girl, but will not be buying a new one for a while.

If only I could afford a new car! I'm driving a 2003 Buick Regal and it's got to last for a long time!

A motorcycle might be O.K. in nice weather, but if we get a -10 or -20 temp, it's going to be a little uncomfortable! Along with 4 ft of snow! LOL

No, A bike is out for me to, you need to talk to the boys. I have a grudge against the guys, who ride them that live on my street. I only get to sleep late 3 days a week, and we live on a corner of a street with only one out-let. Each morning the drive up to that corner they wake me up blowing out their pipes. Can't they pull out, with out all that noise. More power to them for taking on the discomfort and saving gas. I have my dream car, and I'll drive it to my grave a 2005 T-bird. I have a classic 66 T-bird, which if money gets too tight I might have to give up. Everything is insured.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

See ya at the polls, troll

Have you ever to research your stupid lies? Please show sources for Obama losing more jobs than created. Also IF you ANY intelligence, you know GWB lied us into 2 UNFUNDED conflicts, 2 tax cut during those unfunded conflicts, Patd D Medicare, unfunded, $750billion bank bailout along with a host of other crap.

You might try googe. It accesses a world of information.

So what is the prognostication here?

My wager would be that Obama wins, that Pelosi is Speaker of the House, and that McConnell is President of the Senate. The two chambers will flip control.

McConnell is President

he really going to change party's? and become VP?

smiling.

rusty,

i am hopeful that the dems will retake the house. i believe they will keep the senate, and i predict that Elizabeth Warren will win in Massachusetts.

how do you see a win in the senate for repubs?

i believe (hope) that buyers remorse from 2010 will prevail in the 2012 elections.

McConnell should be president of the Robots Association!

Please stop watching so much Fox TV, it makes you ignorant. That would be George W. Bush, that has lost more jobs. Added to deficit. GWB added 5 Trillion, Barack only add 1 Trillion. Get educated and stop going around spreading false-hoods, just like Romney. Liar, Liar pants on fire.

There are 33 Senate Seats on the ballot in 2012. 23 of them are being defended by Democrats, only 10 by Republicans. Six Dems (including Liebermnan) are retiring, leaving the seat open. The Dems have a 3 person majority right now, plus Joe Biden to break ties. If the Republicans pick up 4 wins of the 23 and hold serve on the 10 they have, or 5 wins and lose Mass, they take Senate. It's a prediction based upon the numbers. Mizzou looks very vulnerable- Dem caught cheating on taxes with (of all things) a Corporate Jet. Montana, as well. Always been R until 6 years ago. Running against the statewide Rep who is very popular. Keep breaking down races, one by one and you can easily see Rs picking up the Senate. It will be an uphill fight for the Ds to keep it, based on the numbers and the races involved.

OR, your opinion: "he's one president who actually gives a damn about the people and not just special interests." is not widely held with those I meet, but we do travel in different worlds.

Guys I don't want to ruffle any feathers, Obama has done a lot of good things, and I appreciate your pointing them out. Thanks guys!

CA just look it up and your see for yourself I guess you can't, feel sorry for you.

Of course not Capt, no republican will ever even concede Obama is a US Citizen, let alone any other FACT. It's called the Bubble, and membership in the GOP comes with one gigantic bubble to isolate facts out of the discussion.

Stupid. Moron. Brainless. Jerk.

Say anything you think will work.

Everything you say is crap.

And that's the truth about you, Cap.

Dream on, little fellow, you will wake up and find him Back in the White House again.

Funny, but that statement is completely false, in fact, the president's lead in swing states has grown wider, with the exception of FL where he is not even with Romney after being almost 15 points down.

These trolls have no shame, or maybe Romney's continuous lying is contagious, who knows...

Tyler, wrote a seed on that this week. Lie, lie, lie.....so how do you know what is true. Got to call them on it over and over. They read the republican propaganda send on to each other in emails and never question the source?

But that is the tea bagging GOP supporter in a nut shell. About the only rational thought the insane doddering old fool they idolize had right was tying the GOP talking point into the GOP supporters religious beliefs. Once he was able to make that connection the religious right became unable to question anything the GOP said or done. That was what the founding fathers saw in their life time, the King was appointed by god and to question the king was to question god. That is the mess we find ourselves in today and notice every election cycle 3 things come out 1) morals 2) country 3) the greatness of the GOP protecting them from the evils of the world. All false beliefs yet not one rabid righty questions that false belief any more then they question the hypocrisy of their religious beliefs.

No a flat tax hurts the middle class and poor. Why is it that you can't grasp that the wealthy uses more of the services Government provides then any other group of citizens?

In fact why aren't you demanding that the banks that got the bailouts see their share of taxes go up they benefited from your tax dollars not their own.

TAP - just like our good friend Whom said, this is not and never has been fairness or equality or we would have a flat tax - it has always been about other people's money paying for things that they (liberals) want (well, to a liberal that is fair).

Whom - just curious how a person that receives subsidized housing, free healthcare, food stamps, welfare, etc and pays no taxes uses less services from the government than a person that does not receive those perks?

Whom - I will demand that when you demand that taxes on GM and Chrysler go up as well as on the UAW and their members...after all my tax dollars bailed them out.

It has a lot to do with the banks. The banks have been making record profit out of speculation and trading but they have not engaged the market with loans for investors and home owners.

I received the statement from my bank, a major one, and they are clear and proud when they mention their record breaking profits last quarter.

They're trying to do what they did under Bush, took money from the FED at 0.5%, re-packaged the money as a loan to the Government, at 4%, didn't sweat one bit or anything and made a killing. They also killed the economy because they didn't face any regulation at all to foreclose on that possibility when the money they received was intended to be turned into refinancing options for home owners and investments into small business.

Prosecuting bankers who try to defraud taxpayers for profit is a MUST. I applaud Obama for trying to do just that. It needs to stop, free market works when players behave, and the banks have tendency to rig the game and perpetrate the so-called "legal scams" in order to cheat the system.

If the economic picture is so great.

who is saying that? think the economic is moving and trending in the correct way, slowly (and we all no mostly why that is so will not have to get into that) it could be faster.

Hey OR...hope you are doing great...I only have time for a little chat but....I just don't see the economy getting better. The unemployment numbers just look artificial in that people are giving up on good jobs. They either quit looking or the take something to just get by....If the economy was truly getting better the Fed would not have extended the projected date to raise the interest rate. This "recovery" is nothing but smoke and mirrors. I just can't believe that we are going to let Obama get a free ride out of his failures just because Congress has not gone along with his policies. He had two years to put "his plan" into place to cut the deficit in half (this was a major campaign promise) and we have zero reduction....In fact the rate of increase is going up. This is going to cripple our country at some point. The value of the US dollar is going into the crapper and that directly effects the price of Gasoline...Which is a burden on everyone....Gas was about $1.78 when Obama took office...Now it is $3.50....This is effecting everyone that has to drive a car to work. His performance in just plain unacceptable.

Again tap 30+ years of GOP abuse of the economy and you expect to see miracles after 3 years with no help from the people that created this night mare. Things would look a lot better if the GOP had gotten out of Obama's way and let him work on the economy, but that isn't what the GOP did because the GOP wanted to make Obama a 1 term president. Why is it that you support a party that is trying to cause another great depression? That is their goal because if the country crashes the rest of the world will to and basically they hope it wipes out the deficits they created pretty much like bankruptcy does when a company goes into bankruptcy. This is CEO businessman thinking at its best. Why are you blaming Obama for what oil speculators are doing? Obama had wanted to rein them in and the GOP killed that plan on arrival. Why aren't you on the GOP's back for that?

whomitmay,

well that explained why they want Romney cause of his experiences at bain in doing just that handling bankruptcy's.

Remember the 1929 depression caused devaluation of the dollar so prices of goods fell at a rate of 10% a year up until 1932. There was still deficits but with the devalued dollar that too started falling even though on paper it would show an increase. The problem is in todays global markets the banks are all linked unlike they were in 29 so a great depression wouldn't happen the same way as 1929, as we saw with the crashes in 84,92 and 08. What bothers me is how the GOP has reshaped events to fit their views, they want to say that the country remained unemployed at 25% until 1941 when the US entered WWII, but the US entered WWII in 1942 after the surprise attack of Japan, we just declared war on Japan and Germany the military build up didn't start until 1942, it took time to re outfit the US factories to go from domestic production to military production. Anyhow, what I was getting at was FDR's infrastructure building put America back to work and he had the economy on the mend until he caved into the GOP and gave tax cuts to the wealthy which pretty much killed the progress his programs were making. Funny thing is Americas industrial might wasn't in full operation until 1943.

whom....A Fed posted this and I think he has it correct....

TAP, here's a little tid bit these fiscal liberals always get confused on. It is the Congress that is reponsible for enacting legislation to spend/appropriate money. During the Clinton presidency, from 1994 onward there was a Republican majority in Congress and there were budget surpluses. During most of the Bush presidency and the first two years of President Obama there was a Democatic led Congress and there were large budget deficits. During the Reagan Presidency it was a Democratic led Congress and mostly you had deficits. But rest assured their response will be predictable. Clinton gets sole credit for the surpluses and Bush gets sole credit for the deficits and Obama's deficits are Bush's and the Republicans fault. Its really both both branches of Government, legislative and executive that are to blame/get credit for the Federal Budget since the Congress passes legislation and the President signs the legislation into law.

There are, indeed, two main heroes in the story of the remarkable budget surplus of 1998, but neither of them are Newt Gingrich or his Republican Congress. It turns out that their contribution to deficit reduction did more harm than good. No, the true heroes of deficit reduction were, first, President Clinton, whose 1993 budget—passed without a single Republican vote—raised taxes on the wealthy and dramatically altered the nation’s fiscal path, and second, a steadily improving economy. Those two factors, and particularly the interaction between them, account for virtually the entire fiscal improvement. Contrary to the Gingrich assertion, legislation passed by the Republican-led Congress of 1995 through 1997 combined to actually worsen the fiscal situation—albeit slightly.

So where is Obama's success story? Figure that one out and you can be on Obama's payroll. Good luck...so far all they have come up with is ...Bush's fault, Congress...Arab Spring .....Europe....excuses....excuses.

22 months of private job growth tap how is that for starters? How about instead of acting the fool like GWB did and pretend he was looking for OBL Obama actually sent in people and got him. Like I said before tap if you hadn't of wasted all that time peeking up J Lo's dress maybe you would know that stuff instead of your lame attempts at denial. Like the GOP logo says Greedy Old Perverts always trying to take peeks.

Greed Over Patriotism

Good Oil Protectionist

Greed Over People

And perversions over morals
