It appears he was born that way.
If President Obama has such faith in the American people, why is he trying so hard to put government in control of everything?

You're on to something, I too find it hard to believe that only two people support Obama when in fact tens of millions do.

As far as I know, Obama is not the one trying to put the Government in charge of women's uteri.

Mr. Romney said that change can ONLY come from inside Washington? I don't think he did. If I'm wrong, show us the quote.

I believe what he said was that HE can make changes from the inside, even in President Obama cannot. It was in response to President Obama admitting that he can't make changes from the inside.

If that's true, tell us why President Obama ignores what the people say, putting government in control of as much as he possibly can.

Tens of millions of Americans voted for Obama in 2008 and tens of millions more will vote for him again in 2012. Statistics don't lie. Calling your fellow Americans morons because they don't support your candidate only make you look like a moron.

What is said cannot be unsaid. It came straight from the horse's mouth:

Neither is Mr. Romney, despite your histrionics.

And actually, by putting government in charge of all heath insurance and health care, aren't President Obama and his Democratic Congress cronies doing EXACTLY that?

Go read it again, this time for understanding.

Mr. Romney said that he can change Washington from the inside. NEVER did he say that it can ONLY be changed from the inside. And there is a WORLD of difference between those two statements.

Well that makes him the bottom choice on the poll which was obvious all along. Thanks for admitting it.
