Still passing off opinion pieces as fact? Still plagiarizing other people's work and passing it off as your own, eh?

'Cause we know your mental capabilities.

I'm trying to tell Pinocchio that he sounds STUPID. Let Romney keep talking and he's going to find his self catching a case. He said he created jobs through Bain, the people say he took the jobs, they've been saying this for months, now the SEC puts out his signature with Bain while the jobs were being shipped overseas. Anytime someone is facing legal charges they get very defensive especially when they know that they are guilty, that is how stupid Romney and his group is. Bain is not a little corner doughnut shop, no one owns that type of company and have nothing to do with it. Did he pay taxes on the $100,000 a year that earned at Bain?

You must be blind too, just like Mitts Blind trust. He he

Missouri has a saying and State motto! "SHOW ME" how stupid do you think America is? Remember mother said believe nothing you hear! and only 1/2 what you see.

Romney admits he signed Securities and Exchange Commission Documents showing himself as “sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president.” Regardless of his reasons, this action makes Romney legally liable and accountable for any and all actions taken by Bain. People have said that Romney is a regimented, well organized, cautious and a businessman who maintains control; this man may not be involved in day to day operations, but I find it hard to believe this astute businessman, who could be held legally liable, had no input or knowledge of what Bain did from 1999 to 2001.

In addition from the Globe article: "Also, a Massachusetts financial disclosure form Romney filed in 2003 states that he still owned 100 percent of Bain Capital in 2002. And Romney’s state financial disclosure forms indicate he earned at least $100,000 as a Bain “executive” in 2001 and 2002, separate from investment earnings.” The document shown on TV showed “over 100,000”.

In 2002 because Romney had been living and working in Utah there were hearings to determine Romney's eligibility to be Governor of Massachusetts, the Commission, as part of its ruling in favor of Romney’s residency eligibility, the panel noted Romney testified to the commission he traveled to Massachusetts where he sat on the board of one notable Bain-related company, the office supply chain, Staples. Romney “testified that he was a director of Staples, Marriott International and Life Like,” the commission’s finding states. Well based on his comments to this Commission he admits he was still active at some level in Bain.

So when did he resign as director of Staples, Marriott International and LifeLike all three Bain related companies?

When he left the Governor’s office he had all his e-mails deleted and hard drives removed, where there communications and directives between him and Bain Capital in those e-mails or on those hard drives?

Regarding Romney’s tax return: 'Just four years ago, Mitt Romney gave the McCain campaign 23 years of tax returns -- and didn't get picked for the VP slot. ( By Joe Trippi Published July 11, 2012 FoxNews.com)." If he was willing to provide that many years to be VP candidate, why would you do less to be Presidential Candidate? Mitt Romney’s response to provide more tax returns than 2010 and an estimate (so far) for 2011 is that he has provided what is required. Shouldn’t the man who wants to be President want to go beyond the legal tax requirements and release his tax returns from 1999 to 2009. President Obama released 12 years of returns, Former President George W. Bush and Bill Clinton released 8 years, and Former President Regan released 6 years. Shouldn’t the man who wants to be President not just want to do the minimum, but go beyond and go the extra mile?

Pinocchio The Etch-A-Sketch Man -- otherwise known as Willard Mitt Romney -- is an equal opportunity liar !

If you caught him with his hand in the cookie jar he would say : NO NO I am not stealing cookies ! I was just wiping cookie dust off the inside of the jar ! LOL

Further proof--not that it was needed--of Democratic trickery, deceptiveness and desperation is summarized in this The New Republic headline, "Bain Attacks Might Work, Even If It Can't Be Proven"

How many of you have a 401k or a pension? Do you know where those entities invest their money? Sounds a lot like a 'blind trust' to me. I blindly trust my 401k contributions to someone I don't even know. Guess what? They invest in US companies and foreign companies. We live in a global economy. Everyone is invested in foreign companies.

obummer - When you dont have a record to run on, You use scare tactics, When you dont have any fresh ideas, You make your opponent seem scary.

Willard Mitt Romney ls :

a liar,

a tax fraud,

a military service dodger,

a job destroyer for profit,

a business destroyer for profit,

a Howdee Doodee racist,

a homophobe,

a woman hater who uses his wife like a prop,

someone who used to be for women's right to choose,

someone who used to be for the individual mandate,

a raging Vulture Capitalist.

Did I miss anything ?

Sounds like the perfect Republican candidate to me ! He totally fits the profile.

Hope - that sounds like you and obummer. Most people who accuse other people of what you accused Governor Romney of without ant proof are usually the racists, the women haters, the homophobes etc., etc., etc.

sillyman2112 #1.9~~Romney does not have a record to run on. Romney uses scare tactics. Romney does not have any fresh ideas. Romney makes himself seem scary, very scary. Romney is very wealthy. Romney is un-patriotic. Romney is un-American. Romney outsources/offshores jobs. Romney hides his money in offshore banks evading his tax obligation to the country he wants to preside over. Mitt Romney is the o'bummer tax evader felon!!!

How many of you have a 401k or a pension? Do you know where those entities invest their money? Sounds a lot like a 'blind trust' to me.

Let's have Mitt Romney give us a few words on blind trusts

Romney lies, and and he ask Obama to Apoligize for pointing it out. Give me a break! Show the willard dope up for what he truely is. That would be a pants on fire liar!!!!

I don't think it's so hidden.

new information about goerge zimmerman about to be released that his lawyer DID NOT WANT RELEASED because they do not favor his client.

they apparently show racism, and how zimmerman "coached his wife and other relatives on how to hide tens of thousands of dollars" gotten from supporters donated online.

this should be interesting.

justice for Trayvon Martin.

Who are you saying sounds stupid? If it's Mittens well what can you say the GOP clown circus saw all their shining stars turn out to be just a pack of failed clowns.

Factcheck.org says Obama is lying on most of these elements and stretching the truth on others.

Poor rusty trying to use a piece written before the Boston Globe came up with the evidence that Mittens lied. Really rusty why do you lower yourself this way by trying to pass off such a dishonest tactic oh yeah that is right you have never been keen on honesty before why start now.

Bain Capitol bought out business's that were failing, They injected money into them, Changed the management team and had over 80 % success rate in saving these companies..... Remember these were business's that were going to go out of business. At some companies some jobs had to be cut to save the company and the rest of the jobs there. Bain was a huge success at saving companies. Ask companies like Home Depot, Office Depot, Staples, Etc, Etc, Etc.

Bain created and saved a lot more jobs then obummer ever did and it didn't waste almost 1 TRILLION dollars in taxpayer money!

It's funny that the CEO of GE, Jeffery Emmelt is on obummer's jobs panel. What a hoot. He is one of the worst offenders. By the way GE is part owner of MSNBC
I have personal experience, I worked for Marquette Medical Systems, a GREAT company, on the Fortune 500 top 100 companies to work for list. GE bought the company, sent all production to China and fired the vast majority of its American workers.
If the choice is between obummer and Romney, I have to pick Romney every time!

Right except like Mittens you have posted so many lies no one believes you except you.

Like obummer. No facts just accusations!

Okay,

Tax returns for College Transcripts. ...........Any takers? ............ I didn't think so.

No that would be you and your Fox news opinions that you try to pass off as yoyr own words. Yes siree Bob, another tea bagged republican who thinks his word has any meaning outside of providing entertainment and wonder how many times you will repeat lies.

Will you drop the name calling? You are in violation of TOS. This forum is for civil debate, if you can not be civil on this forum, then you need to move on over to another forum.

Sullyman2112:

MSNBC tells far more truths than what you care to believe. You get all your info from Fox News, don't you?

Romney has absolutely no proof against the documents stating that he still earned a salary after he "left Bain." Do you support letting a man take +$100K for doing absolutely nothing? Do you seriously think Bain would? If so, I guess that means you want another Bush in office who will take money and do nothing except what is good for himself and his personal/party views.

Our country needs change, but not the kind of change Mitt would bring.

Hey Great-- Virtually all of the name calling comes from regulars on this site--Don't discriminate--That wouldn't be nice!

Yah, the regular trolls. Like yourself. Like DB. Like sully. You get the idea. But like everything else, you do it and blame others. Same Sh*t differant day.

Romney got caught red handed and now hes trying to cover his behind ! Does Romney think we are stupid and will fall for his lies?

yes, Pam, that is what he thinks. he is hoping that we will be blinded by and envious of his riches, and just accept him as a "god", which he plans to be one day on planet kolob, where we will all be his minions.

RE: @suzette-3194003 (Comment #3),

why should the President apologize when mitt just expects him to take him at his word? he is probably lying. mitt should produce papers that prove otherwise, why is he so reluctant to do this?

Mitt's trying to pull the same trick he used when he ran for Governor of Massachusetts in 2002: Take my word for it!

Nevertheless, a few stubborn facts remain:

• At the end of Romney's term as Governor, he took the hard drives of all of the computers that his Administration used. Why? Any data on those hard drives that he or members of his Administration stored on those hard drives are presumably part of the public record. Therefore, the public would have a right to know what data was stored on those hard drives. That leaves a rather poignant question: What is Mitt hiding from the public, that he went to such efforts to keep hidden.
• Regardless of the fact that Romney took a "leave of absence" to rescue the Salt Lake City Olympics, he was still officially in charge, according to records filed with the SEC, and he was still officially in charge 3 years later, with involvement above and beyond what can be adequately explained by merely unwinding his ownership. Therefore, his involvement with Bain Capital in 2002, according to records filed with the SEC. Moreover, Romney is claiming ownership of jobs created in the US by Bain Capital or one of its subsidiaries between 1999 and 2002, when he also claims to be nothing more than an absentee owner, but denies responsibility for jobs lost or off-shored during the same period of time. He can't have it both ways, as that is a materially inconsistent proposition. Additionally, it's inconsistent to claim being an absentee owner not involved with management and claim that he helped add new jobs. Again, he can't have it both ways.
• In the vetting process for VP in 2008, Romney provided the McCain Campaign with 23 years of tax returns, going back to 1984. Yet McCain opted for Palin to be his running mate. What, if anything, was in those tax returns that would have made an essentially unvetted Palin more attractive? And, what makes Romney think that only two years worth of tax returns, with 2011 just an estimated return, so far, good enough for We the People, when it obviously wasn't sufficient for McCain. Romney might think it's acceptable to be "barely legal" and not provide more records for the Obama Campaign and pro-Obama/anti-Romney SuperPACs to possibly find a "smoking gun." However, Romney's hubristic arrogance, in saying "take my word for it" is not acceptable to We the People, who have problems with seriously accepting the possibility of Romney being President when there are so many unanswered questions of a rather crucial nature. Given that there are 23 years worth of tax returns provided to McCain in 2008 plus the tax returns for the two years following ('08 & '09) that he won't share with We the People, citizens of the USA, who he wants us to vote for and elect to be the next President, Romney's very act of refusing to make any of the tax returns for those 25 years makes it appear as if there is something he needs to hide from us. Why? While there may not actually be any damaging info there, nevertheless, it is obvious that Romney is not an Economic Patriot, given the extraordinary effort he's gone through to use tax shelters such as Swiss and Cayman Islands bank accounts. While what he claims to have done is the bare legal minimum, that doesn't necessarily make it ethical.

All in all, it seems as if Romney wants to be the President with No Clothes!

Mitt gave up 23 years of tax returns in 2008, so why does he need to do it again?

Over 8% unemployment for over 41 months, over 40 million people on food stamps, over 12 million people out of work.

Those are the issues, people out of work, companies closing down, the economy in the tank.

Yep and the GOP have done nothing but stand in the way and say no. Mittens did not give up 23 years worth of tax returns as no one outside of McCains clan saw those returns. Gee not very good at anything are you.

Romney disclosed the 23 years of tax returns to John McCain, not to the public. That's why he needs to do it again.

Just as the economy didn't collapse overnight, it also won't recover overnight. This is especially true when congress won't do anything to help with the recovery. A president can only do so much; most of the burden rests on the legislature. It was designed this way by our founding fathers in the constitution, and that balance of power should remain.

How many filibusters are we up to now? And a useless vote... 33 times... on repealing the ACA is helpful how? How many abortion issues have been proposed? Yet there's no action on rebuilding the infrastructure, which everyone agrees is critical. The small business tax cut was just allowed to die without so much as a debate. The list is too long to post here, but those are two examples of a do-nothing congress bent upon allowing nothing constructive being allowed to pass.

They way you idiots make excuses for obummers failed presidency would be laughable if they weren't so sad

Says the guy who voted GWB twice.

Actually I never voted for Bush. In 2000 I didn't vote and in 2004 I voted for Kerry!

Again no facts just accusations, typical for a libtard!

And we are supposed to take your word on that what a laugh you are. Here is a clue you have yet to make 1 factual post, your word is about as good as Mittens word.

Thank you for the compliment!

I have made many factual posts. Idiots like you just don't want to believe them. You're too in love with obummer!

Reading your posts I see all you do is lie, name-call and distort the truth so why should anyone take your word?

As I said delusional. Right and what do you tea bagged republicans do? Why you lie and name call. Really what leads you to believe you word is any good or gives you the right to point fingers at others. Everything about you is fake so yeah Mittens is a reflection of the tea bagged republican, lies all the time, isn't liked by anyone and he believes he is better then everyone else.

www is due no apology. It might be nice to hear him say something nice about the President who does have the job right now. the job willard will never have. That is the obvious.

cow,

mitt released 23 years of taxes to john mcCain, another repub. if indeed he did release that many years to mcCain, it shouldn't be all that DIFFICULT to release 12 years to President Obama as many repubs have been suggesting.

in 2007, mitt romney was probably very proud to show mcCain how many jobs were outsourced, and how good he can play the game of NOT PAYING TAXES. everyone gets why this is something he doesn't want the democrats, and especially the american people to know, because mitt romney has been betting against america.

HE'LL DO ANYTHING FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR!

Personally, I think he's more afraid of the SEC than the Democrats or Obama. Releasing those taxes could bring a lot of scrutiny that he would rather avoid, and cause a lot of trouble for people he's been in business with.

Would it have been better for the company to stay here and go completely out of business because of the high cost of the labor?

just saying...

Right capt re reg, we can take your word that you are willing to work for $96 a month just like a Chinese worker makes.

The Realchris LOL! That's a good one! The FCC nailed his behind to the wall. The more he lies the worse he looks! Pathetic!!!!

Realchris, that was too GOOD!

If this doesn't go away for Romney, the GOP may have to call the bullpen and tell Santorum or Gingrich to start warming up cause they are going in the game. I like thinking fanciful thoughts, sometimes.

Good Chris!

I think the whole GOP needs to apologize to the American people. And we are still waiting for them to leave their corporations. And work for the American people.

What obummer is doing is the same as if I accused any of you of murder and that you must prove you innocence. Then when you asked for an apology I would laugh in your faces.

obummer is on of the most corrupt presidents in history!

Ah no Reagan holds that honor. In fact Reagans administration was so corrupt that 213 of his administration people ended up in court and many ended up in prison.

The bad penny returns...Willard

God damn it! It's spelled LIAR! How come all you inbred conservatives can't spell your favorite word?

TRFjr. SHUT UP jr. Obama owes Romney nothing, Romney is constantly putting his foot in his own mouth. The SEC said he had signed his name to the ownership of Bain. If he's such a good Business Man, how could he be so dumb to sign his name to something he has nothing to do with. Don't you read everything before you sign it. GIVE THE PEOPLE A BREAK.

These tea bagged republicans just got to crack you up with their double standards. When Obama apologized to the world for GWB's treatment of them they whined that the president of the US should never apologize for anything to anyone, now they turn around and whine that Obama won't apologize to Mittens for questioning Mittens honesty after Mittens has proof coming out about his dishonesty.

You really are delusional. Obama apologies to the world of the middle east that all hate us for the actions of another president but will not apologies for his own behavior. Whether he lies or not- he accepts no responsibility for anything that he does that fails. The fact is that you foolish liberal dunderheads will have a large stack of real world facts in front of you and you will still sit there with your defiant noses in the air and deny it. Go ahead and fool yourselves. There is no point in arguing with people like you all because you aren't interested in the truth or facts, only your opinion. When you call someone a felon and you don't have the actual facts in your hand that proves it, then you make yourself out to be ignorant and foolish. At the very least, liable for slander. If he is so sure that Romney committed a felony, then why doesn't he go sick his little pet Holder on him because apparently there a has been a crime commit right? Yah, let's see that happen.

Cult troll back again for another ban.

Could this one be aka (Obama loses in November)

Yep.

Obama said, I'm going to go through the Budget 'line by line' with a scalpel and cut all unnecessary Government spending. He said he would cut the deficit in half. We have the highest deficits on record.

He said the ACA will not add one dime to the deficit. The 21 penalties (taxes) are expected to raise $503 billion dollars over the next ten years and the CBO just came out and said the ACA will cost $2.6 trillion dollars over the next ten years.

Where is the money going to come from for this new entitlement?

Sounds like someone is lying to me.

Mitt Romney has started his own line of asbestos pants called " Liar Liar Pants On Fire " cause his pants keep burning up while he is talking.

Nothing that Right-Wing Racial Trolls post on this blog site, or anywhere else, will EVER change the public perception of Romney being a liar and a destroyer of lives, jobs and businesses for profit.

So blog on trolls. You are changing no ones opinions with your wing-nut rantings.

Actually most people think obummer is doing a bad job on the economy.

That's the only thing obummer can do, spread lies about Governor Romney. He can't run on his lousy record.

You're a crap propagandist.

DB. Don't bother mentioning the list of 600 agencies President Obama gave Boehner and ask him to cut, combine or eliminate that Boehner threw in the trash. That was only a $600billion in savings. Boehner will have nothing to do with anything the President wants. Let the country default. Great Obstructionist Party.

Whoitmay, you absolutely prove my point. I appreciate people Iike you. I give you rational. good sense commentary on the subject at hand and you and your little friends here can only belittle someone that has an opposing opinion than you. Have any of you people talked to the doctors or small business owners about things Iike how the health care act affects them? Are you that clueless to see how much the CBO announced that it will cost this nation that is already broke? The cost seems to be going up every year. Just because Obama and his arrogant friends, pelosi and reed put their stamp on it, you blindly Accept garbage like this as good. If it is so good, then why is the senate and house exempt from the provisions of the healthcare plan but we aren't? Because it sucks and they want no part of it. A bill was introduced by a republican to state that they all must use the same plan that we have to use but the democrats shot it down. Imagine that!. I think it has some great provisions but the mandate has to go. We need to hire thousands of more IRS agents to keep up with the new taxed people that will not or cannot pay. That's a crapload of more government workers sucking up our tax dollars. Yeah, that's what we all need. But you all go blindly along accepting anything he gives you as good and mock anyone that doesn't see it your way.

I started watching msnbc news programs for a few days to see what others were talking about with the liberal bias. I found out how many soundbytes they take a small portion of then twist what was said to make the person look a liar or a fool or both, and you people take this garbage to fact. It says a lot about you.

Leave this nation up to the likes of you people and we will be bankrupt in very short order. Look at a heavily liberal state like California. How are they doing financially? How are some of their cities doing? Bankruptcy court,,, imagine that. Liberals, democrats and unions all got together to take that state right down the toilet. They have sanctuary cities that allows people to openly break our federal law which won't prosecute them anyway. They get a free ride on government services and healthcare but you say it's not fair to reject them and send back to Mexico or wherever. They (californians), cannot afford it!! We cannot afford it! Take that kind of thinking into a national scale and the very same thing will happen to the rest of the nation.

Go ahead and blame the California problem on Romney. Blame it on bush. Blame it on the republicans and the rich because you will never accept that their liberal ideology put them all in that position and given a chance, you will do the very same thing to all of us.

Now start with all your childish mocking and ignoring of all these points that are right there for everyone to see. tell me these things aren't happening right here and now. I'd love to see how you all can blame this mess on everyone else that you don't like or agree with.

To admit you were wrong is a sign of weakness in the business world.

Or if you voted Republican.

Tricked-U-All economics is like trying to pound a nail in head side down.

Truth? Really? If he committed a felony, shouldn't he be going on trial? Don't criminals go to prison? If your great arrogant leader thinks he has the hard facts to prove that Romney is a felon, then go get holder and the justice department to indict him. Go get all your crackshot lawyers after him. Well,, wheres the investigation? It sure it would save Mr. Obama a lot of trouble in the election if he could just get Romney sent to prison. You people don't know what truth is? Unless you were working in the white house and saw the paperwork, then you have no idea what truth is. Your really going to believe what a polItian says especially in an ellection year? Especially when his record of restoring a nation is shaky and his reelection depends on tearing down his opponant at any cost? How gullible are you? .You people are laughable like you absolutely know what happened every day of every year of the guy that you hate? You know no more about him than you do what color socks I am wearing right now. You think you got your information from this network? I spent some time watching it to see that they take small clips of a speech and change the meaning by twisting what was meant by the whole statement. Unless you were the to say what really happened and can attest to the truth, (the real truth, not the one you want to be true), whatever it is- how about stop calling people a liar. It makes you look ignorant.

Got any facts troll?? Thought not!

Capt. Ron. Please don't feed the trolls. lol And one rule, never, never expect a fact. All their "facts" come from Fox Lies.

And I suppose this network tells you all the truth right? You don't want facts. Go talk to a doctor. Go ask a large group of small business owners how it will affect them. This mans tax the rich and feed the poor idea is defiant of the American dream. Your gonna tell me that if you went to school, finished your masters, studied and worked hard and, started a small business. Your business grew larger and you became more successfull and make more money, that you believe your government should take continually more money from you and make sure that illegal aliens have education, housing and healthcare. That people that are lazy and don't want to work because our Feds extended unemployment and opened the doors for food stamps for just about anyone. Many people need this stuff but many are also abusing this. So they deserve the money you worked for by your paying a higher tax for them?

So let me understand your thinking. Work hard, earn more then get penalized for that by paying even more so I can give to someone else that didn't earn it?. All of this just because I can afford it? Never mind the jobs I provide. Never mind the households I support by my hard work and inovation. There is no reward for that. Just more government regulation and taxation right? So you make $10 and your fine with giving the Feds $1 but then you make $20 and your happy with now giving them $5?

If that all sounds well and fine with you. Then you can be taken to the cleaners by your current president but don't expect the rest of us to sit around and let it happen.

Is there any truth or common sense to what I have said? How much time have you spent watching fox or any other network that you call liars? If you spend all your time watching this network, then I get it. Most of the people posting at this site are real big on calling people liars and criminals and whatever other kind of slander they can think of but really don't know what the truth is. If you weren't there, then you don't know and if you criticize on what you don't know, then you are a fool and you deceive yourself. Maybe most people should just shut their big mouths when they don't know what the hell they Aretaking about.

Those are the facts but you will likely deny them and go on scoffing and ridiculing with something like the troll comments you all are so fond of here.

Can I get an AMEN !?!

@civiltongue,

I really hoped that Obama would turn this economy around. He didn't. He failed. We elected a Community Organizer to lead the greatest nation on earth and look where we are today.

Our President said we will be "Brazil's biggest customer". Are you kidding me? Brazil should be our biggest customer.

Our President went on an apology tour of the Middle East after he was elected and look at what we have now. We have the Muslim Brotherhood knocking on our Ally's doorstep.

This President is in way over his head and doesn't know what he's doing, period.

Oh really ?

What has President Barack Obama done so far?

Answer:

In his first week in office, Barack Obama did the following:

• Froze the salaries for top White House staff members. This is a largely symbolic act, but might be an important one.

• Set a deadline for the closing of Guantanamo Bay. Some of his supporters would say this is a great thing because they believe it operates as something from the Dark Ages. Others believe this characterization to not be true, and that no plan will be put place to determine what to do with the prisoners. Time will tell.

• Fast-tracked the process to apply new fuel standards to 2011 car models AND initiated steps to allow California to set its own standards for auto emissions that are stricter than that of the Federal government. Again, this is a measure that some of his supporters hail as a grand step forward, while his detractors (or flamers) point out that it could provide an additional severe drag on the economy, especially in car manufacturing areas.

• Signed a detailed executive order to ban torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners.

• Asked the military leadership to engage in additional planning necessary to execute a responsible military draw down from Iraq.

• Released the interrogation memos without consulting the Bush staff and/or Bush about it. And they were only partially released some of the information in the memos were not made public.

• Signed an executive order that restored a 30-day time frame for former presidents to review records before they are released. It also eliminated the right for the vice president or family members of former presidents to do the reviews.

• Signed an executive order that requires that appointees sign forms saying that they were not hired because of political affiliations or contributions. This is far from an unbeatable measure, but is an important early step towards cleaning up governmental hiring policies. It is easier to prove someone lied when their signature is right next to the statement in question.

• Signed an order banning gifts from lobbyists and banning anyone from working in an agency they had lobbied in previous years. Promptly made the order toothless by immediately granting a waiver to a former defense lobbyist.

• Lifted a ban on giving federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide abortion information.

• Granted his first TV interview as president to Al-Arabiya, a channel described as a "voice of moderation" to the Middle East. His supporters call this a very smart move to help angered nations and groups feel a bit less cast aside, and let them know that they need not resort to violence to be made a part of the world discussion. Detractors point out that this is the type of thing Neville Chamberlain would have done, though a TV interview and "the Munch Agreement" are leagues apart.

In his first 7 months in office

• He's done quite a lot actually.

• He has so far passed an economic recovery bill which has met mixed criticism but is slowly progressing. He has passed the AMD Stabilization and Support bill which was tailored to help stabilize and strengthen the United States Military, and has shown improvement within the standard. President Obama has also been working on other proposals, bills, and acts to be passed on topics such as Health Care reform, Education, the Mortgage crisis, the war on Al-Qaeda, and Domestic policy.

• Promised to send additional troops to Afghanistan in March and began the pullout of troops in Iraq.

• Passed the bailout of the auto industry and pressured their management to tow the party line.

• Waffled on sending troops and allowed those serving no suffer from lack of support. (If you had to send 30,000 Americans to a war zone I bet you would hesitate unless I realized lives were at stake and I was in charge)

• Refused to allow open meetings regarding health care reform as promised.

• Passed more tax increases on middle America than any other President.

• Encouraged Cap and trade passage to increase demand of foreign oil and raise the cost of our supply. (How does cap and trade increase demand? (See discussion))

• Promised to make tough decisions regarding the ability to continue paying medicare payments. Cutting $400 billion from their budget.

• Insulted police doing their jobs making the office look foolish. (How? (See discussion)

First Year:

• Sent troops to Afghanistan but pulled troops out of Iraq (What planet? He has NT pulled out of Iraq!) we are now at 115,000 troops as of 2/11/2010! Zero actual draw down.

• Made a more transparent form of Government (almost daily daily Facebook Q&A's with his staff) Has had more closed door meetings then any previous administration. Even his open door committee only has closed door meetings!

• Tried several times to get the Republicans to join him and get bi-partizanship on the destruction of democracy. Republicans did not wish to contribute!

• Passed a stimulus package that is creating no jobs across the country. This bill has given more to the rich then every previous President combined!

• Well on his way to passing the HC bill which will ration health care to most Americans and help less then 12 million. The cost will destroy our children's and grand children's future.

• Managed to have the two worst months for deficit spending ever. (The two Februarys he has been President)

This list is too long for a conservative to read. Short attention span, too many facts and they have to wait too long to make an insulting reply.

@civiltongue,

I really hoped that Obama would turn this economy around. He didn't. He failed. We elected a Community Organizer to lead the greatest nation on earth and look where we are today.

So to fix that we should elect the greatest political flip flopper coward on Earth...some upgrade....

Our President said we will be "Brazil's biggest customer". Are you kidding me? Brazil should be our biggest customer.

That's interesting considering Brazil has vast mineral resources so why would they need to buy from us? More importantly are you so foolish as to believe these resources and standing can really be changed in four years? I'm mean if you want deep water horizon on land I'm sure the oil companies can accomplish that in four years time.....you can't stick a straw in the ground and make oil pop out it takes years to get a site ready and most leased federal land isn't even used......domestic oil production is up and that has no chance of changing in the near future so if Obama hates fossil fules and wants to shut all the world's oil companies down he's really sucking at that effort.....

Our President went on an apology tour of the Middle East after he was elected and look at what we have now. We have the Muslim Brotherhood knocking on our Ally's doorstep.

Who did he apologize to? Where were these apologies? Just curious if you could produce those and show them to be uncharacteristic of any other president......I didn't hear any complaining with Bush was meeting with the Al Sauds....those two families are well acquainted apparently....

Honestly Bush had so many meetings with them and went to church practically never in his entire presidency and Obama's the secret muslim? LMFAO

More importantly what should he have done about Egypt? Supported Mubarak? Mubarak who was attacking his own people for trying to protest, he should have backed him? Should he have sent in US military to seize political control? Should he overthrow Muhammed Morsi? Should he tell the Egyptians that they have to find a more suitable leader of face US punishment?

If you've got any better ideas I'm sure Panetta, Clinton, Napalitano and Obama would love to here them. So how would you have done better?

And by the way in case you didn't know the Muslim Brotherhood is already and has always been on Israel's doorstep....hell they've been on their doorstep, in their backyard, poked around the garage, looked into the kitchen...mmmkay..they've been there a while

So make whatever case you want on the economy but don't give me this fake foreign policy routine unless you got some ideas to put on table

Drillbaby, I know some people are disappointed in the president... I don't agree with everything he does but to blame one person for everything that is wrong with the current state of the union is a little naive. When congress refuses to act, due to partisan politics trying to ensure"Obama is a one term president", signing tax oaths put out by Grover Norquist (a who has been involved with Jack Abramoff) when their oath should be to the American people etc., etc. Saying and doing things like this is not productive. I say be for the American people first and foremost... all the American people, rich, poor and everything in-between. If we elect a president, be part of the solution not part of the problem.

Realchris? Your comment and ones like some of your buddiesare why the other side always has to come back with something. All you can think to say is some condescending comment about a group of people that vary in values from yourself? The other side is not a group of 10yos that only like to read books that have pictures. That's all the maturity you have?

Hope42, I went through some of that list, and yeah, like the ridiculous giant of a healthcare plan that we all were supposed to vote yes for before we even knew what it was, I didn't read it all. Some of the points are just ridiculous. Noble peace prize? What did he do? Did he invent a new aids vaccine? Did he wipe out starvation in Africa? Really, what did he do to deserve the thing?

In the rest of the list is one thing after another that any president is suppose to do during the normal course of business. Yes some are good accomplishments but to list some of these things that anyone would have to do to make him out to be the great achiever is reaching. The same kind of to do list could be brought up for bush or anyone so don't make out like Obama has done nothing but great things for this country.

Civil, your the first poster I have seen here that doesn't seem hell bent on making fun of anyone that's not a liberal. I am one of those that wants Obama to be one term. When Obama slips up and forgets the mike telling the leaders of the soviet nation to be patient and wait because he will have more wiggle room in reference to missile defense treaties after his reelection-I get nervous. Is he holding what he might want to do till after his possible reelection because if he didn't, it might cost him the election? I don't even want to know what it was.. I have seen too many clips of our president telling one group of people that a president is supposed to act this way and or that and that he has this authority and not that.Then we see him do exactly the opposite of what he knew he was not allowed to do in his own statement a few years before. No GOP spin. No conservative lie. A turn around of his own words. Things like the gay marriage issue and about making executive laws without approval from congress. The gay marriage doesnt matter, he can believe what he wants. He evolves and republicans flip flop apparently. He cant just come with a law and decree it to be so. There is a reason we have 3 houses that make laws. So that the president can't turn into a dictator and arbitrarily make his own laws. Syria,iraq,iran and n. Korea to name a few have people that sit in high places that do things and make laws without accountability. He said he knew the constitution.

Parties on both sides represent the people that voted for them or should and I would want the person that represents me not to give up the fight on some things as would the other side. So there we have it. It's not partisan politics, it's ideology and values that we both hold to be best for the nation and these days it ends us up in a stalemate.

What "executive laws" has he created? You do know there's no such thing as what you just made up there. There's no such thing as an "executive law". Executive orders are made however they are not laws in any sense of word.

Do you member the "soviet nation" doesn't exist anymore? Why is it that you righties still believe we're in the Cold War or something....the USSR has been dead for quite some time know. Nothing to be scared of from Russian, their economic and military power is so diminished it is not a significant threat.

There's a difference between changing your mind and flip flopping. Politicians and all people have the right to devolop new opinions on things that's life. Romney is a flip flopper because of the shear number of vast unexplained policy reversals he has under his belt.

Romney said he would never endanger a women's right to choose because of the death of one of his relatives in a back alley abortion. Now he says he has always been anti-choice and anti abortion....what changed his mind he hasn't said. Pretty big switch don't ya' think.

He was for the individual mandate and gun control. Now he claims he never was. What happened there?

Gay marriage.....why the sudden shift?

Let detroit go bankrupt

I've always been severly conservative but was an "independent" during Reagan/Bush

Green energy

Marco Rubio's dream act

This list goes on for quite a while. We've got a guy who no one on either side can connect with and talks about "biscuits and cheesy grits" to southern crowds.....

Mitt Romney has time and time again in the words of John Fugelsang "....his fearless, fear of taking a stand which makes him all things to no people". Romney has no core and even the republicans have said this. He is not shown himself to be trustworthy so if the Tea Party can understand that it's not that complicated to figure out.

When did we get three houses to make laws I was always under the impression that we have a bicameral legislature....constitution in all......no surprise since people like Rick Santorum are proud to support the patriot act and said nothing when the GW administration used warrantless wiretaps on US soil. That is a blatantly illegal action yet none of the right wing constitutionalists that seem to be coming out of the woodwork that raised any objections.

Ok whatever, executive order, executive law. What does it matter if I miss wrote it? You know what I mean. The escence is the same. He wants something done that he knew he could not get through congress so he did it with out their approval. He has done that several times during his visit to the white house.

Don't be stupid about the Russian comment. You have to comment on some irrevalent subject that I didn't address or even care about. II said nothing about the threat from that country. I could care less. Id be more worried about china or Iran. The subject was that you ignored was a president that secretly makes a statement that he wants to do something with regard to missiles but has to wait till after an election. You people love him so much that that doesn't send up any flags at all. Why wait till after the election to move forward with his plans. Does he fear losing votes because the people would disapprove? to me, a president that feels he has free reign to do whatever it he wants after being reeelected makes me want to send him packing.

I didn't know that there was a certain number of evolving choices you can make before it turns into a flip-flop. It has nothing to do with how many. C'mon man. If you lie one, your a lier and it's a lie. It's not a fib the first few times then after to many, they are lies. Obama made several critical statements about what he believed in one interview and then years later did exactly the opposite of what he said a president is allowed to do. You would be all over that if Romney or any republican did that. What would you call it when Obama does it? His privilege? His right? He is the great Obama that can do what he wants because you like him. If your going to hold the other side to one standard, then you better hold your side to it as well.

The house and senate create and make the laws and the president signs, enacts and enforces them. That is unless it is about immigration when he tells agencies not to enforce the law. I do believe this is how govnment is supposed to work but Obama does not see it this way. I know your going to go back and go all, "well what about bush!?!?". If he did something illegal, he should go to jail, I'm not defending him or exempting anyone in the party I support but right now, the man in charge is your guy and if he needs to be held accountable for overstepping his bounds and breaking constitutionall laws, then he needs to be put in check or voted out of office. We will see soon enough who believes the man is good for this nation.

We don't want any years of Mittens and his magic underpants nor do we want another lying republican who is not capable of running his own business. According to Mittens he was in charge of Bain but he did nothing which he got paid for nothing. Sorry you can't run the dog Mittens on Obama's record which you know nothing of rather all you have are Fox news lies, when your dog has done nothing or said anything other then I have a secret plan.

Magic what?

Has obama ever had to make a payroll? meet a budget? hire/fire anyone? had a private sector job? ever run a company? manage a company?

Is obama a Chicago Democrat? you know why they call it the windy city? due to the fact the politicians lie through their teeth.

"Mitt Romney just barely won the Republican primary in Ohio by 1%. Then Romney made the mistake of saying, 'Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is a victory for the 1%!'" –Conan O'Brien

ho-lee-cow: Has obama ever had to make a payroll? meet a budget? hire/fire anyone? had a private sector job? ever run a company? manage a company?

That old canard again? The 44th President is a politican. "Leader Of The Free World" and "Commander-In-Chief".

It is time to solidly and soundly push-back against this rubbish. President Obama was overwhelmingly elected President of the United States by the peoples of the United States-whether you casted a vote for him or not. Oh, and some of his votes came from Leaders in Industry.

Hey Ho Chi Minh you think Romney ever did any of those things, manage a company, develop a product........

Aren't you people always talking about how being a Harvard professor makes him out of touch....isn't Harvard not a state college.....seing as how it's named "Harvard" not University of something or other state?

Romney to paraphrase Newt Gingrich has an idea of what being an entrepenuer means that is rather different than how most Americans would think when they hear that word...so this doesn't take a political genius to understand.

Look up what private equitty does as it appear you're not aware if you think they are your traditionally believed definition of entrepeneur. They buy companies, they don't start or manage them. They are far more like lawyers than business men, Romney may be adept in the boardroom shuffle but that is far different than building a business. They don't worry about payroll unless they are deciding whether or not to fire people or reduce their salaries or pensions.

Do people who flip houses count as the same as the people who construct them?

You think Mitt Romney and his wife have ever had to work to earn a wage to survive? Have the Romney's ever struggled to put food on the table? Have the Romney's ever been middle class? Have the Romney's ever in anyway struggled with having too little money not just figuring out what to do with it?

You will lie and call what I just asked class warfare but to head that foolish narrative off at the pass this has nothing to do with the rich. This is not about any group other than the middle class, Romney is not the avatar of wealth, business or success for he is one man. Critiquing him does not have anything to do with capitalism or anything of that nature this is a ploy to deflect attention. A ploy it would appear most of the right falls for. Cut the pious baloney and stop pretending this is about anything or anyone but Romney. What it is about is whether these questions about relating to the middle class is important. If you believe these questions aren't important then you don't think we should have a president who can relate to the middle class in these trying times.

Tee Potty was a failure and now the Neo-Nazis know who and where to find them when it comes time to round them up for slaughter! I have no doubt they will go willingly go right into the extermination unit. Hell they will be in a line still cheering power to the people. The fools...

Any idea how the tea party started??

Large government & spending never got any country out of any economic bad times.

Go read the events of 1929-1939. High tax rates double digit unemployment.

The high tax rates killed all growth.

None of the ed show bloggers have ever owned a business.

So they have no idea what happens when the government reaches into your pockets.

Funny thing about the democrats, they think it's their money that you make.

Be-the-cow zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . . oops . . . were you saying something ? LOL

I do I do!

Once upon a time in a not so far away land and not so long ago, There are two evil brothers named Charles & David Koch. The evil brothers loved money and had billions of dollars. They polluted the land air and water time and time again.

One day an Uncle came and told them to stop doing this! And they did not. So the Uncle made them pay a fine for doing evil upon the land air and water. The two evil men decided they would do anything to stop from paying the fines again and again.

The two evil men bought lobbyist and sent them to the Uncles town and they lobbied the Uncles friends to let the two evil men to let them do the evil things but it didn't work as well as they had hoped.

So the two evil men decided to have a party! The two evil men made up a fake political party and called it the Tea Party! The people who liked the two evil men's money went to the Uncles town and made up lies for the two evil men's doing!

Some of the educationally challenged liked what the evil two men's people said and voted for them.

And that is how the Tea Party was formed!

Yours Truly Sarah Palin 1/2 term governor of Alaska

And look at the events of the last 50 years where there were periods of higher taxes and lower unemployment

Anyone who's owned a business knows that what they're being taxed isn't as important as how much the customers are. No customers=No Business. Nobody on the right seems to be able to understand that.

Consumer demand fuels the American economy not material supply.

The right believes if they make something people will buy it and that drives the economy. It never has and never will. DEMAND/middle class drive the economy. It's really simple economics 101.

Mittens choose to use the name Mitt his real name is Willard, can hear it now tell them Willie boy is coming.

No one is denying anyone the right to vote..

All that Bull$hit is about convicted felons, most states if you are a convicted felon then you have given up your right to vote & own a gun.

So lets give guns & voting rights back to these very fine people.

Charlie Manson never killed anyone so let him and let him vote.

You liberals are off the rails. But nothing new.

"Mitt Romney believes that marriage should be between one man and one woman. Which is better than his grandfather, who believed that it should be between one man and five women." -Jimmy Kimmel

Right a recession started by the GOP and a recession prolonged by GOP obstruction. Nice try but to bad for you that to is a lie taxes do not kill jobs or else GWB's economy would have produced jobs after 2 tax cuts not lose more jobs.

The recession started due to the fact the sub-prime home loans all went bad.

Now rewind the tape to 1978 when carter signed into law allowing banks to sell stocks & bonds & insurance.

No fast forward to 1999 and Clinton signs the repeal of Glass-Steagall.

Not many republicans in that bunch.

Now get to 2003, when bush wanted to put Fannie & Freddy under control of the fed, due to the fact both were under water.

But barney loves franks said "I want to roll the dice". One more democrat that could not see the writing on the wall.

So not seeing a whole lot of republicans at fault here.
