The vast majority of the people who will vote for Mitt in this coming election realize that he is not perfection wrapped up in diety.

Please remember that it was Obama who claimed the oceans would cease to rise because he was nominated by the democrat party to run for president...

Mitt, has changed positions on a few issues. But Barak Obama made us promises and has failed to live up to them. Barak Obama said that if he didnt fix the economy he would be a one term president. I intend to make sure this is a statement he lives up to.

Please post that quote. Forgive me if I don't hold my breath waiting for you to produce it.

Obama has kept more promises than the GOP:

Billions upon billions in waste but Republicans want to cut education spending, free lunch programs for poor and needy kids, which are tiny in comparison. It's very hard to take any conservatives seriously.

Yeah, did you even look at your links?
Pressure Sudan to end violence in Darfur
The Promise: "As president, Obama will take immediate steps to end the genocide in Darfur by increasing pressure on the Sudanese and pressure the government to halt the killing and stop impeding the deployment of a robust international force."

Update June 15th, 2012:
Some progress, but violence continues

They rated this a compromise..

And the GOP ones have been stalled by Democrats.. stop being ridiculous.

Certainly.

Obama's Nomination Victory Speech In St. Paul June 3, 2008.

Here is the link to the first page of ABC's full transcript of the speech:
FULL SPEECH: Obama Declares Victory - ABC News

The actual quote is on page five of the speech. here is the link followed by the wording:

Page 5: FULL SPEECH: Obama Declares Victory - ABC News
I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.

Everything Obama does fails and a lot of Democrat leaders are jumping ship.

Obama has made enemies with unions and the economy ain't gettin' any better.


Barack has 5 months to convince the unemployed that he is their man.

I don't see it happening.
Only in your repub mind. And what is this triple-spacing of simple sentences fancied by right-wing posters? I am curious.

You saying that Mitt has changed positions on a few issues, is like saying someone is halfway pregnant. LOL. On almost every major issue, he has changed positions. From healthcare to the bail out, it's been hard to get a good feeling on where he stands. I think he is a likeabkle guy but out of touch with everyday working Americans. I don't fault him for being rich but he tries to hard to fit in. You can see it in his interviews. He is desperately trying to make an impression with a soundbite and it turns into disaster. Saying idiot things like..."I'm unemployed too"... "Let Detroit go bankrupt".... "$300,000 is not a lot of money." His media team needs to be fired.

Repubs certainly DO want to privatize education, along with everything else, and have said so! Who are you listening to?
