So the environment has been turned into a derogatory phrase. Nice.
How about some long term input....How about some long term evidence that does not cost the tax payers millions of dollars...or how about not push something down our throats, unproven on the scale of the United States....
Green agenda....when it's ready, it will be here, forcing crap down someone's throat does not mean it ready....
Tell us what yo have done to advance the "Green agenda" in your personal life....
This is worthy of investigating further for details. I don't think money should run campaigns at all. Campaign Finance Reform should be something every American ought to be screaming for. If I'm not mistaken, it's mostly the right side of the aisle that agrees with the insane Citizen United decision. It actually is the left wing that is advocating for its repeal. That being said, if "hypocrsiy" bothered you so much, how can you throw support behind a Romney/Ryan ticket when they epitomize the very word.
what mccain-feingold didnt screw things up enough for you? as for hypocrisy, obama is the epitome of the word. he made more promises when running for office that he hasnt even bothered to keep. take the big one, "being the MOST transparent administration in HISTORY", and yet his administration is the MOST OPAQUE in history. nice try but you fail.
23 million unemployed or underemployed
GDP 1.3% (downward trend)
gas prices double since Obama's election
medium income $3040.00
16 Trillion in debt
47 million people on food stamps (this is a record)
Still in a very slow recovery that some even feel like we are in a recovery
Tactic of Deception:
Obama touts we are on the road to recovery
Rising uncertainty tied to the fiscal cliff confronting the US and an intensification of the European debt crisis have triggered a significant tightening in US financial conditions over the past few months. Moreover, these developments appear to have contributed to deterioration in the incoming economic data. As a result, we are cutting our second half GDP growth forecast to show no acceleration relative to the estimated +2% or so pace seen in the first half of the year. And, with less forward momentum than previously thought heading into late 2012, the vulnerability of the US economy to some fiscal drag in early 2013 should be more pronounced, leading us to cut our GDP forecast for next year to 1 3/4% from 2%.
But it didn’t happen. Although there was a big stimulus bill under Obama, federal spending is rising at the slowest pace since Dwight Eisenhower brought the Korean War to an end in the 1950s.
Even hapless Herbert Hoover managed to increase spending more than Obama has.
Here are the facts, according to the official government statistics: • In the 2009 fiscal year — the last of George W. Bush’s presidency — federal spending rose by 17.9% from $2.98 trillion to $3.52 trillion. Check the official numbers at the Office of Management and Budget. • In fiscal 2010 — the first budget under Obama — spending fell 1.8% to $3.46 trillion. • In fiscal 2011, spending rose 4.3% to $3.60 trillion. • In fiscal 2012, spending is set to rise 0.7% to $3.63 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the budget that was agreed to last August. • Finally in fiscal 2013 — the final budget of Obama’s term — spending is scheduled to fall 1.3% to $3.58 trillion. Read the CBO’s latest budget outlook.
Over Obama’s four budget years, federal spending is on track to rise from $3.52 trillion to $3.58 trillion, an annualized increase of just 0.4%. There has been no huge increase in spending under the current president, despite what you hear.
Food stamps - this is the new normal in a global economy until US adapts to the new $10-$15/hr jobs with no benefits.
Romney can't fix any of this. US standard of living declining and will continue that way until our wages equal that of the global mean.
It is called Global Labor Arbitrage.
Ok, waiting now to hear the sources cited above are in the tank for Obama.
No wonder Obama didn't ask Gov. Romney a question about Bain Capital at the debate.
Obama has been accepting campaign contributions from Bain since 2004 when he ran for the Senate.
Their managing director, Jonathan Levine, also gave between $100-$200K for his 2012 campaign.
The worst part is that most of Obama's criticisms of Bain were based on things that Leveine did after Gov. Romney stopped working there in 2002.
Obama keeps swimming deeper and deeper into a giant cesspool of deception!
--> Pay special attention to the last sentence in bold. <--
“President Obama has based his entire reelection campaign on a vicious, dishonest assault on Mitt Romney’s business career. The real question for President Obama is this: if Bain Capital is so bad, why have you taken nearly $120,000 in donations from them? President Obama’s actions are the height of hypocrisy,” Saul declared.
The precise total is $118,121, and Obama has been taking that Bain money ever since he ran for the Senate. Furthermore, as noted by ABC News “One of Obama’s top campaign financiers – JonathanLavine – is also managing director at Bain, bundling between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, according to estimates released by the Obama campaign.”
Humorously, Lavine is also the executive who is actually responsible for some of the decisions Obama has most stridently hammered Romney for, even though they were decisions made after Romney left the company.
Maybe I'm reading this incorrectly, but it seems like a copyright issue.
Sticky: Copyright Issues

This has nothing to do with Obama taking campaign contributions from Bain capital and their current manager and then blaming Romney for things that happened after he left Bain in 2002. He is a hypocrite and a deceiver and that's why he didn't mention Bain in the debate.
I thought dem was da, but I Do stand corrected! I see now it is DEM in dis case LOL
