I'd say about as much as a 3.00 bill.....

I would say a lot less distorted than any world described by the National Review.

Besides he has the pleasure of a National Intelligence summary with breakfast. That is as real as it gets.

I am older so recall very well things like Bay of Pigs, Marilyn Monroe, Chappaquidick (not the President but very real), Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, Watergate, Tricky Dick Nixon, Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and more. So much unwanted stuff and unwanted advice surrounding all of it. Did it make any of it the right way to do things..NOPE..could any of us do better...probably not.

Obama? Now there is a conundrum. I don't think he has much experience and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton isn't far away most of the time. He seems like an ok guy, I do like his wife and think his kids are adorable. As for being President..not sure it was such a great idea but he is here now and I think we should at least try to support him. Perhaps Hillary will run next time? One can only hope.

Ann Romney is just as real as my mother who dealt with MS, had to work manual labor, and had a fatal allergic reaction to the steroids which eventually stopped her heart when I was nine years old and saw my father struggle to put a roof over my head.

I am not voting for Obama, but I certainly will not vote for that "everyday guy" that Republicans are painting out Romney to be. Republicans are nothing short, but disgusting.

Why don't you Republicans grow some balls and elect a real Conservative, like Ron Paul? Why does Conservatism scare you so much that you rally behind a RINO that is most similar to Obama, yet complain about Obama?

Disingenuous at its finest.

Hillary? ROFL

Please explain what makes Hillary qualified in your estimation. I'd love to hear that. This ought to be good....

None of them know the "real world". They are all part of the 1% that so many detest.

Your world is more distorted than obama's if you believe any of what you say. The man is corrupt and incompetent and will finish his destruction of our great country if he is re-elected. If you want to live in Cuba, vote for obama, that is his goal.
