Obama Jobs Council Packed With Outsourcing Companies

WASHINGTON -- During the past two weeks, President Barack Obama's campaign has blasted Republican challenger Mitt
Romney as an "outsourcer," focusing on his career with private equity firm Bain
Capital. The Romney campaign hit back on Tuesday, claiming Obama's stimulus
package failed to protect American workers and helped create jobs overseas.

If Romney really wanted a juicy example of outsourcing, he would have to look no further than the president's
jobs council.

Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, 26
business leaders assembled by the president for job-spurring ideas,
includes representatives of several companies that have used outsourcing,
fueling job creation abroad and job losses in the U.S. Shipping work to
low-cost overseas labor markets has been a trend in American manufacturing for
decades. The White House has a plan to curb outsourcing, but companies represented on the
jobs council reveal just how pervasive the practice is.

There's General Electric, whose CEO Jeffrey Immelt has served as chair of the advisory board since January
2011. Since Immelt took over GE in 2001, the company has lost 37,000 American
jobs, and added 25,000 jobs overseas, according to filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Some of those U.S. job losses are inflated by the
company's sale of NBC to Comcast in 2009.

Chris Townsend, political director of the United Electrical Workers labor union that represents roughly
5,500 GE employees in the U.S., said the company has closed more than 30 U.S.
plants since Obama took office. GE would not confirm the number.

GE "is a company that,despite the constant claims of growth, continues to shrink in the United States," Townsend said. "These are a mixture of things from garden-variety,
old-line manufacturing plants to electrical apparatus service facilities, sometimes
something to do with servicing. Several of them were GE Capital."

GE's outsourcing-related job losses have occurred over a long period, Townsend said. Unlike some of the companies that Bain Capital invested in -- which quickly
fell into bankruptcy, faced layoffs or saw jobs shipped overseas as the private equity firm continued to profit -- the GE plant closures have happened
slowly, he said.

THE NOBAMA Campaign IS LYING!!!

Guess Rush call him and gave him his talking points.

Obama, and economic growth.

Just doesn't go together.

41 months and counting of over 8% unemployment.

I think the doozy lies with Obama saying he would not go after people who abide by state medical marijuana laws that motivated establishment of medical marijuana collectives that have since been closed down by Holder's DOJ and that met those very requirements, including that then Ca AG Jerry Brown stated dispensaries can be legal. Then Holder goes before Congress 06/07/12 and states "We limit our enforcement efforts to those individuals, organizations that are acting out of conformity with state law," which is simply not true. Is this lying or is Obama and Holder ignorant of enforcement they promised would not happen. For something more personal that really puts things into perspective, it doesn't get better than this Penn Jillette video in getting to the truth:

Growth is possible only when kick out right wing republicans from the congress.

They are only interested in feeding the rich, polluting the nation, subverting the supreme court & dominating the world.

where do these people come up with their "facts"? what they say is rubbish! their only goal is to take down our President and their rudeness and disrespect is sickening! Re-elect the President!!

Sununu, isn't that some kind of foreign name?

Ok for all those who think we were better off under the Bush administration here are some facts during the Bush administration the private sector jobs added were 1.5 million a growth of only 1.4 percent while Obama's administration created 4.3 million private sector jobs an increase of 4 percent. Here is the link and graph.

The Washington Post speaks out
on Obama, finally!............very brutal......timely though.

As I’m sure you know, the Washington Post newspaper has always had a reputation
for being extremely liberal, so the fact that its editor saw fit to print the
following article about Obama in its newspaper makes this a truly amazing event
and a news story in and of itself. Finally, the truth about our President and
his obvious agenda is starting to trickle through the ‘protective walls’ built
by our liberal media.

By Matt Patterson (columnist -
Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner)

Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when
he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said)
"non-threatening," all of which gave him a fighting chance to become
the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?
Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama
phenomenon - affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But
certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and
regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially
white liberals, feel good about themselves.

When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current
erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise
with such a man in the Oval Office.

56 Republican Quotes Against Mitt Romney Every American Should Take Seriously

July 16, 2012

By Stephen D. Foster Jr.

Mitt Romney is the presumptive Republican nominee who will face President Obama in the Presidential Election this fall. Despite this, even Republicans aren’t thrilled about having Romney as their dear leader. In fact, Republicans seem to only be pushing Romney out of sheer desperation. They are so desperate to make President Obama a one term President that they are willing to support a man who they know is completely wrong for America and unqualified to lead. Don’t believe me? Here are 56 things Republicans have had to say about Mitt Romney.

1. ⁠“If you have things to hide, then maybe you’re doing things wrong. I think you ought to be willing to release everything to the American people.“
~Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, calling for Romney to release more years of tax returns, AP, July 14, 2012

2. “Now Mitt is not a perfect candidate. He has a number of problems. It’s hard for him, for blue collar families like mine to identify with him. It’s hard for economic conservatives to identify with him. He needs to do more to reach out to Latinos…”
~Former Republican NY Governor George Pataki, “endorsing” Romney and then telling the world how weak he is as a candidate, MSNBC, April 2012

3. “They (voters) want to know what’s the truth. They’re not interested in a chameleon.”
~Michele Bachmann, criticizing Mitt Romney’s flip flopping, speech in Florida, December 2011

4. “Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch-A-Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again. But I will say, if you look at the exit polling data in Illinois, you’ll see that Mitt Romney is broadly acceptable to most of the factions in the party. You have to do that in order to become the nominee…”
~Romney Communications Director Eric Fehrnstrom, describing his boss as a man who can’t make up his mind, CNN, March 21, 2012

5. “There are a lot of other people out there that some of us wish had run for President, but they didn’t. I think Mitt Romney would be a fine President, and he’d be way better than the guy who’s there right now.”
~Republican Senator Marco Rubio, wishing there were another candidate to pick from, The Daily Caller, March 2012

6. “He’s not a bold decision maker like Newt Gingrich is. Every time I talk to him, he says ‘well let me think about it.’”
~Romney supporter Sheldon Adelson, describing his new favorite Presidential candidate as a weak man who can’t make decisions, Jewish Journal, March 28, 2012

7. “I do know that all of the Michigan delegation worked very hard as related to the revival of the auto industry. There was really a choice between bankruptcy and liquidation. There was no one that was willing to come up not only with the cash to keep them afloat but also to serve the warranties of everyone, you and I that drive all these cars. There was no one that could have picked up those pieces other than the federal government. [The auto bailout was] ⁠bipartisan from the get-go. [Without it,] Michigan would have hit 40 percent unemployment rates.”
~Republican Michigan Rep. Fred Upton, endorsing Romney and then disagreeing with him about the auto bailout which has been a major Romney attack point, WMUK Radio, February 2012

8. “Mitt Romney and I don’t agree on every issue and certainly housing is one of them. When you look at what is going on here in Southern Nevada, you can’t say you got to let the housing market hit bottom. We have been bouncing along the bottom for years. And the fact is we have to do everything possible to: 1) keep people in their homes and 2) get people who are out of their homes back into their homes.”
~Republican Nevada Rep. Joe Heck, endorsing Romney, then distancing himself from Romney’s call to let home foreclosures hit the bottom, Las Vegas Sun, February 2012

9. “Santorum connects with some people. Unfortunately, my guy has a hard time doing that.”
~Former AZ Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen, endorsing Romney and then tearing him down, CNN, February 2012.

10. “Gone are the days when the Republican Party used to put forward big bold visionary stuff…We’re gonna have problems politically until we get some sort of third party movement or some alternate voice out there that can put forward new ideas.”
~Jon Huntsman, saying that we need a third party not long after endorsing Romney. Also implying that Romney is not bold, nor a visionary leader, “Morning Joe,” MSNBC, February 2012

11. “He may not be Mr. Personality, uh, you know, this is a guy who gives a fireside chat and the fire goes out.”
~Former GOP Virginia Rep. Tom Davis, endorsing Romney and then announcing how bland and boring Mitt is, News Channel 8 interview, March 2012

12. “Self-deport? What the heck does that mean? I have no doubt Hispanics have been alienated during this campaign. But now there’s an opportunity for Gov. Romney to have a sincere conversation about what we can do and why. I absolutely advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. Republicans want to be tough and say, ‘Illegals, you’re gone.’ But the answer is a lot more complex than that.”
~New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, slamming Romney’s stance on immigration, Newsweek, May 2012

13. “Pick any other Republican in the country. He is the worst Republican in
the country to put up against Barack Obama.”
~Rick Santorum, calling Mitt Romney the worse Republican anyone can possibly pick to be the nominee, Racine, Wisconsin, March 2012

14. “He should release the tax returns tomorrow. It’s crazy. You’ve got to release six, eight, ten years back tax returns. Take the hit for a day or two. He has to give a big speech in defense of capitalism, and that will elevate, I think, this race above this tactical back and forth, which I do think he’s on the margin of losing.”
~Bill Kristol, criticizing Romney’s refusal to release tax returns on Fox News, July 15, 2012

15. “He glosses over and doesn’t even tell the truth. … Here is a guy who is the ultimate flip-flopper running for president, and he’s attacking me for not being principled? That doesn’t wash.”
~Rick Santorum, campaign event in Tennessee, February 2012

16. “Mitt Romney’s losing at this point in a big way. If something’s going to come out, get it out in a hurry. I do not know why — given that Mr. Romney knew the day that [Sen. John] McCain lost in 2008 that he was going to run for president again — that he didn’t get all of this out and tidy up some of his offshore accounts and all the rest.”
~George Will, criticizing Romney for not releasing more tax returns, ABC, July 15, 2012



17. “One of Governor Romney’s aides today on television said that Governor Romney, after he wins the primaries, will be like an [Etch A Sketch] — you take whatever he said and you can shake it up and it will be gone, and he’s going to draw a whole new picture for the general election.”
~Rick Santorum, Harvey, Louisiana, March 2012

18. “I do not yet know if I will find a Romney presidency more acceptable on foreign policy. But I do know that I must oppose the most recent statements made by Mitt Romney in which he says he, as president, could take us to war unilaterally with Iran, without any approval from Congress.”
~Rand Paul, National Review, June 2012

19. “We can’t nominate such a weak candidate. I’d love to be able to get one-on-one with Gov. Romney and expose the record that would be the weakest record we could possibly put up against Barack Obama.”
~Rick Santorum, ABC, March 2012

20. “Gov. Romney has claimed to have created 100,000 jobs at Bain and people are wanting to know, is there proof of that claim? And was it U.S. jobs created for United States citizens?”
~Sarah Palin, Hannity, January 2012

21. “I heard Governor Romney here called me an economic lightweight because I wasn’t a Wall Street financier like he was. Do you really believe this country wants to elect a Wall Street financier as the president of the United States? Do you think that’s the experience that we need? Someone who’s going to take and look after as he did his friends on Wall Street and bail them out at the expense of Main Street America.”
~Rick Santorum, Rockford, Illinois, March 2012

22. “I don’t know who all of his advisers are, but I’ve seen some of the names and some of them are quite far to the right. And sometimes they might be in a position to make judgments or recommendations to the candidate that should get a second thought.”
~Colin Powell, MSNBC, May 2012

23. “Running a business is not the same as being president of the United States.”
~Rick Santorum, CNN, March 2012

24. “If you’re not sure about whether to support Mitt Romney, whether you’re liberal, or whether you’re very conservative, you ought to be excited, because he’s been on your side at one time or another. So I’m not completely misunderstood. I’m not as excited as I am desperate.”
~Louie Gohmert, Republican conference, April 2012

25. “Governor Romney supported the bailout of Wall Street and decided not to support the bailout of Detroit.”
~Rick Santorum, Detroit, Michigan, February 2012

26. “At some point he has to show that he has a vision of a better way. He can’t just say ‘The future is bleak, follow me.’ Because no one will.”
~Republican strategist Mark McKinnon, according to Politico

27. “This is the free enterprise system. The only place in the world that I can recall where companies never failed was the old Soviet Union. This is what investors do in the free enterprise and capitalism system. And, yes, the free enterprise system can be cruel. But the problem with this administration is that small businesses have been the ones that have suffered the most, the kind that need investors, the kind that don’t need the hundreds of pages, the thousands of pages of regulations that continue to plague them and have them continue to hold back on hiring and investment.”
~John McCain, calling Romney’s tenure at Bain ‘cruel,’ Fox News, May 2012

28. “He changed his position on virtually everything. I’m a moderate Republican, that’s what I am, so I’d be inclined to support someone like Mitt Romney. But all those changes give me pause.”
~Rudy Giuliani, February 2012

29. “If Mitt Romney can be pushed around, intimidated, coerced, co-opted by a conservative radio talk show host in Middle America, then how is he going to stand up to the Chinese? How is he going to stand up to Putin? How is he going to stand up to North Korea if he can be pushed around by a yokel like me? I don’t think Romney is realizing the doubts that this begins to raise about his leadership.”
~American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer during his radio program, May 2012

30. “I’ve never seen a guy change his position so many times, so fast, on a dime.”
~Rudy Giuliani, MSNBC, December 2011

31. “We’re not going to beat Barack Obama with some guy who has Swiss bank accounts, Cayman Island accounts, owns shares of Goldman Sachs while it forecloses on Florida and is himself a stockholder in Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac while he tries to think the rest of us are too stupid to put the dots together to understand what this is all about.”
~Newt Gingrich, Mt. Dora, Florida. January 26, 2012

32. “Don’t just talk about Hispanics and say immediately we must have controlled borders. It’s kind of insulting when you think about it. Change the tone would be the first thing. Second, on immigration, I think we need to have a broader approach.”
~Jeb Bush, criticizing Romney’s stance on immigration and his attitude toward Hispanics, Q&A session, June 2012

33. “[Mitt Romney is a] Massachusetts moderate who, in fact, is pretty good at managing the decay.” He’s “given no evidence in his years in Massachusetts of any ability to change the culture or change the political structure.”
~Newt Gingrich, Des Moines, Iowa, January 4, 2012

34. “You can talk about the other back and forth, and flip-flopping and the other things. … If you’ve wrapped yourself up in too many pledges, that diminishes your ability to do what needs to be done in the final stretch to some extent.”
~Jon Huntsman, MSNBC, April 2012

35. “You can’t be a perfectly lubricated weather vane on the important issues of the day, whether it’s Libya, whether it’s the debt ceiling, whether it’s the discussion around the Kasich bill in Ohio, where Gov. Romney has been missing in action in terms of showing any kind of leadership.”
~Jon Huntsman, CNN, October 2011

36. “Can we drop a little bit of the pious baloney? The fact is, you ran in ’94 and lost. That’s why you weren’t serving in the Senate with Rick Santorum. The fact is, you had a very bad re-election rating, you dropped out of office, you had been out of state for something like 200 days preparing to run for president. You didn’t have this interlude of citizenship while you thought about what you do. You were running for president while you were governor.”
~Newt Gingrich, NBC News/ Facebook debate, January 8, 2012

37. “I would just have a different policy than what he has espoused… We need to recognize we are not going to deport 12 million people, and … we shouldn’t.”
~Haley Barbour, criticizing Romney’s ‘self-deportation’ immigration stance, Christian Science Monitor breakfast, June 2012

38. “Now you have to ask a question – is that really, is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of other people and walk off with the money? Or is that in fact somehow a little bit of a flawed system? And so I do draw distinction between looting a company, leaving behind broken families and broken neighborhoods and then leaving a factory that should be there.”
~Newt Gingrich, Manchester, NH, January 9, 2012

39. “Maybe Governor Romney in the spirit of openness should tell us how much money he’s made off of how many households that have been foreclosed by his investments.”
~Newt Gingrich, CNN debate, January 26, 2012

40. “Clearly while the president is overseas, he’s at a conference and while the president is overseas I think it’s appropriate that people not be critical of him or our country.”
~John Boehner, in response to a question by NBC News on whether Mitt Romney’s criticism of President Obama is inappropriate since Obama was in Russia at the time, March 2012

41. “Now, for Romney to believe that somebody’s grandmother is going to be so cut off she is going to self deport… He certainly shows no concern for the humanity of people who are already here… I think you have to live in worlds of Swiss bank accounts and Cayman Island accounts and automatic $20 million a year income with no work to have some fantasy this far from reality.”
~Newt Gingrich, Univision, January 25, 2012

42. “This is a man whose staff created the PAC, his millionaire friends fund the PAC, he pretends he has nothing to do with the PAC – it’s baloney. He’s not telling the American people the truth… I just think he ought to be honest with the American people and try to win as the real Mitt Romney, not try to invent a poll-driven, consultant-guided version that goes around with talking points, and I think he ought to be candid. I don’t think he’s being candid and that will be a major issue. From here on out from the rest of this campaign, the country has to decide: Do you really want a Massachusetts moderate who won’t level with you to run against Barack Obama who, frankly, will just tear him apart? He will not survive against the Obama machine.”
~Newt Gingrich, CBS’ “The Early Show,” January 3, 2012

43. “Those of us who believe in free markets and those of us who believe that in fact the whole goal of investment is entrepreneurship and job creation, we find it pretty hard to justify rich people figuring out clever legal ways to loot a company, leaving behind 1,700 families without a job.” ~Newt Gingrich, January 8, 2012

44. “Now I have no doubt that Mitt Romney was worried about pink slips — whether he was going to have enough of them to hand out because his company Bain Capital with all the jobs that they killed, I’m sure he was worried that he’d run out of pink slips. There is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failure and sticking it to someone else is how you do your business and I happen to think that’s indefensible. If you’re a victim of Bain Capital’s downsizing, it’s the ultimate insult for Mitt Romney to come to South Carolina and tell you he feels your pain, because he caused it.”
~Rick Perry, South Carolina, January 9, 2012

45. ” I think it’s that program, just updated.”
~RNC spokesman Alexandra Franceschi, admitting that Romney’s economic plan is the Bush plan on steroids, The Fernando Espuelas Show, April 2012

46. “There’s a real difference between venture capitalism and vulture capitalism. Venture capitalism we like. Vulture capitalism, no. And the fact of the matter is that he’s going to have to face up to this at some time or another, and South Carolina is as good a place to draw that line in the sand as any. That’s not what we’re looking for in a president of the United States. We’re looking for someone that knows how to build jobs, create jobs. And that’s what I’ve done in the state of Texas. So there’s no use trying to paper this over. That is a problem for Mitt, and he’s going to have to face it.”
~Rick Perry, Hannity, January 2012

47. “I think that it has to be a very humane approach to this issue, and we have to come up with solutions to it. But we also have to do something about the drugs that are coming across our southern border that are killing our kids… I think there are some people who want to leave this country and return to the country they came from, but obviously it requires a broader solution that that, and we all know that.”
~John McCain, slamming Romney’s ‘self deportation’ immigration plan as an inhumane idea, Univision, February 2012

48. “I know the difference between venture capital[ism] and vulture capitalism. Venture capitalism is a good thing, comes in, gives that gap funding to help these companies get off and get started creating jobs, and work. But Mitt Romney and Bain Capital were involved with what I call vulture capitalism. And they walked into Gaffney and took over that photo album company for no other reason than to basically pick the bones clean. And those people lost their jobs.”
~Rick Perry, referring to a local photo-album manufacturer in Gaffney where 150 jobs were cut when Bain assumed control, January 10, 2012

49. “I believe most Americans want their next President to remind them of the guy they work with, not the guy who laid them off.”
~Mike Huckabee, describing Mitt Romney in a 2008 campaign ad.

50. “There is no one who’s gonna be sitting on that stage who has the record of job creation I have. There’s one in particular who’s created jobs all around the world. While he was the governor of Massachusetts he didn’t create many jobs.”
~Rick Perry, attacking Romney’s record of outsourcing and job creation, September 2011

51. “Romney, supposedly the Republican most electable next November, is a recidivist reviser of his principles who is not only becoming less electable; he might damage GOP chances of capturing the Senate… Republicans may have found their Michael Dukakis…”
~George Will, blasting Romney’s flip flopping, Washington Post, October 2011

52. “He spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver. And we thought nobody could fill John Kerry’s flip-flops! … [Romney's record was] “anything but conservative until he changed all the light bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for President.”
~Mike Huckabee, attacking Romney in his book for flip flopping, Do The Right Thing, 2008

53. “Bless his heart, I have respect for Mitt Romney, but I do not have respect for what he has done through this debt increase debate. He waited until it was a done deal that we would increase the debt ceiling and more money would be spent, more money would be borrowed and spent on bigger government, and then he came out and made a statement that he didn’t like the deal after all. You can’t defer an issue and assume that the problem is then going to be avoided.”
~Sarah Palin, ripping Romney for avoiding taking a position on the debt ceiling debate until after Congress voted to raise it, Hannity, August 2011

54. “I don’t think that Mitt Romney can legitimately say that he learned anything about how to create jobs in the LBO (leveraged buyout) business. The LBO business is about how to strip cash out of old, long-in-the-tooth companies and how to make short-term profits. All the jobs that he talks about came from Staples. That was a very early venture stage deal. That, you know they got out of long before it got to its current size.”
~Former Reagan OMB Director David Stockman, on Romney’s job creation experience, Fox News, May 2012

55. “The fact is, there are a couple of years he may not have paid any taxes. Maybe he’s concerned about that. But if it’s going to come out, he needs to get it out now so he has a couple of months to explain it.”
~Former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough, “Morning Joe,” MSNBC, July 16, 2012

56. “All we have to do is replace Obama. We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don’t need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don’t need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate. Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become President of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.”
~Grover Norquist, calling for conservatives to elect a weak President they can use as a puppet, CPAC, February 2012. NOTE: While Norquist did not specifically mention Romney, other Republicans on this list have noted Romney’s weak leadership skills and his lack of spine in standing for what he believes in. Bryan Fischer stated in an earlier quote that Romney would be a pushover as President, which is exactly the kind of President that Norquist wants.

These are not ringing endorsements of Mitt Romney. These Republicans are merely speaking the truth about a man who has been running for President for years. He’s a flip flopper, a war monger, a vulture capitalist, a tax evader, an outsourcer, a job destroyer, a Wall Street puppet, a weak minded hypocrite who has no vision and zero leadership skills. He cares nothing for the poor or the middle class, and only seeks to help the wealthy at the expense of the rest of the American people. And his fellow Republicans know this. Republicans are not excited about Romney and they think he won’t be a good leader, yet they expect the people to vote for him anyway. They must think American voters are stupid. If even Republicans have a problem with Romney, voters shouldn’t make him our President. These are Republican quotes every American should actually believe and take seriously.

IN ORDER TO GET OUR MORTGAGE WE HAD TO SHOW THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF OUR TAX RETURNS. WILLARD DEMANDED THAT KENNEDY RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS.

AFTER SUPPLYING 23 YEARS OF TAX RETURNS TO LOSER JOHN MCCAIN...MCCAIN CHOSE BIMBO SARAH PALIN!

Keep it coming, John!

let's see. bringing in Bush guys to defend Robme....what's wrong with that picture?

came on Limbrain tell us all about college and drugs and what your mom said about you as you try to promote Romney. remember what your mom said.....you failed at everything Lompbrain.....oh my.....................this is the righties prophet....gag a maggot.........oh man..........

If the Republicans want to go back to elementary school years with Potus then the Dems should do the same with Mitt. Turn about is fair play. Also, His father George Romney had more of a good reputation than Mitt will ever have. I was a teen when his father tried for it, but I don't remember all these character attacks back then.

Face it republicans -- you pretty much crap in your pants on a daily basis because President Parack Obama is African-American and will do a second term as President of the United States despite your money, influence, polls, lies and power -- your unimpressive slot of republican presidential candidates emptied out and left you with the pitiful likes of Willard Mitt Romney as your presumed presidential nominee.

The average people sees through your tactics and if you think that you are going to skew this elections by "going all the way below the belt" - just remember the ball will be whacked right back on Romney's side of the court - can we say "advantage Obama"!!! You and your cohorts must simply have money to burn because this is a Romney going nowhere but we had to run somebody and make it look legit campaign!!

We the average, poor, middle class, disabled, disenfranchised black, white, hispanic, asian native american, people of the United States are going to fight for our interests amd our futures and we will not idly sit by and let you 1) send us back to slavery; 2) outsource every single job in this country to asia; 3) take everything that we have worked hard to acquire or achieve; and 4) accept the dishonorable likes of Mitt Romney as a viable choice for president -- he is not!!! 

We stand with and will cast our vote for President Barack Obama - and we do not accept the lying, pitiful, dishonorable, out of touch with America Willard Mitt Romney for president -- not in this lifetime!!!!!!

Ever notice when someone asked the liberals about the economy they use one are all of these four terms:

"GOP" "Filibuster" "Bush's fault" "Obstruction"

Guess obama and the democrats have no control over anything then.

"What about the over 8% unemployment rate Mr obama"? "The GOP....."

"What about the over 40 million on food stamps Mr obama"? "Bushes fault....."

More gems from Sonono... hope they will invite him along with Bush, Cheney, Palin, Bachmann, O'Donnell, Cain and the rest of the Wacadoo tribe to the convention - they would really get ratings - oh, and Trump too, they will need him to tell us how good the ratings were because HE was there.

I got to be honest. I didn't know John Sununu was still alive.

The right wingers bringing up things that happened when President Obama was in high school or college is absolutely pathetic. Most people are still growing in this age group up are still trying to find out who they are and what they will be doing with their lives. Peer pressure is another thing people in this age group must contend with. Probably most of us would like to go back in time and change some things we did when were 18 or 19. For many people in college the first year is depressing, lonely, and hard. Then things get better as you figure out what your goals are and who you should be with and who you should avoid.

What is the logic behind this right winged diatribe? Rush Limbaugh is a pathetic specimen who failed out of college and got hooked on pain killers. At least President Obama graduated from Columbia and Harvard Law School. These are not easy achievements for anyone. So somehow I doubt President Obama was doing lots of bad things during these years. President Obama spent much of his time in class and studying in the library or in a room by himself writing papers or law briefs for demanding professors. As far as we know he also has been an excellent father and husband to Michelle and their daughters. How many times has Rush Limbaugh been married? I rest my case on personal morals. Let's get passed high school and freshman college and look at the whole person during adulthood.

What is going on here on a deeper societal level? The cranky, miserable, bigoted, and ornery geriatric types, who are nearly all white, in the right wing are almost in apoplexy that President Obama was elected in the first place. These cranky, surly, white bigots can not stomach the thought that Romney may not win because they know Romney is a weak candidate. These pathetic right wingers are in fear of losing their culture because more babies were born this year to minority women. Much of this hyper right winged focus is as a result of racial hatred of blacks and other minorities.

These old time neo-racist types on the right, can not stomach the thought that President Obama has been an excellent Commander-in-Chief who got Osama bin Laden and Bush did not. President Obama also has ended the war in Iraq and is winding down the war in Afghanistan. Ending wars is hard difficult work with disaster waiting at every turn. Yet, President Obama has not only done it once he is doing it twice. The anti-terrorist drone war and Special Forces war is going very well. Qaddaffy was successfully routed out of Libya to his deserved ending without one American casualty and for the cost of about $2 billion. Contrast the $4 trillion that Bush's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will cost us. Don't forget those the 50,000 casualties suffered so far because Afghanistan is still going on and Americans are still dying. Wouldn't it be nice to shutdown an insurgency war like a water faucet. well guess what its impossible to do. Military commanders have a lot to say about wars once they start. Its not so easy to shut them down once they start. Insurgency wars sometimes last for a generation not just a couple of years. Considering that President Obama inherited these wars, he has done a good job at winding them down. Remember, these types of wars are hugely complex and its not just a matter of leaving because the opinion polls start to turn against the war. Once these wars start they take a life all their own. Bush's advisers knew these things but President Bush went into Iraq without finishing up Afghanistan first nor was Iraq a just war, it was a war of choice and President Obama has spent many long days and nights cleaning up the complicated mess left behind by the Bushies.

None of this right winged propaganda stuff will create a single job for millions of unemployed American workers. The Republicans in the Senate filibustered down a Small Business tax credit bill that would have created one million jobs. The GOP House failed to pass the American Jobs Act that would have created or saved two million jobs. The GOP did this because the poor abused "job creators" would have had to pay Clinton era taxes if they were billionaires or multi-millionaires. So three million Americans remain unemployed today because the GOP would rather make President Obama a one term president than to do the right thing for the country.

The modern GOP are just a worthless, unpatriotic, and the biggest bunch of reactionary radicals who want to bring America back to the 19th century. They are losing their culture and live in a world of full of xenophobic fear, anger, bitterness, and hatred. White people will not longer be the major majority in a few years but so what? If the minorities adopt the American dream and work hard who cares? The country will just grow stronger and prosper assuming we educate people and assimilate them properly. President Obama wants to lead America into the 21st century because we have to compete against the BRIC's and the Asian-Pacific rim countries. Do we move forward with President Obama and prosper or do we move backwards with Mitt Romney and destroy the middle class in the process all so a rich oligarchy at the top can prosper at everyone else's expense? This is the real question at a societal level we all must make in November?

Again More lies...
