Your link includes subsidized loans, pell grants and medicare. Be practical. One someone says handouts, you know full well they mean food stamps and welfare/section 8.

Actually, if you look at the poll it would indicate that Obama would lose.

The ABC poll in a revote had Romney up by 4%.

Actually, I watched several of Obama's stump speeches and the sheep herd wasn't being enticed by handlers with Hope and Change placards to mindlessly chant their mantras. Can you find me a video of 2012 where Obama's rallies pass out the 2008 slogans and/or the mantras are chanted?

SO what exactly is your argument here. That Mitt Romney did not have campaign mantras, that mantras are dumb, or that you have to use the same ones as 4 years ago ?

all 3 arguments would be untrue. You do realize that forward is indeed the logical extension of Hope and Change right ?

But if you want to play that game....

You must really hate the military, elderly people, and college students because you keep using these half in line for handouts meme over and over even after you have been corrected many times on who make up that half.

And even better, Obama has three more years to really screw up this country. Let the excuses begin.

From wanting to kill Social Security and Medicare to his lying about his love affiar with Ayn Rand and her BS of the producers and takers. Jezzzz I could no more vote for them than if they dug up Hitlers bones and said they were running.

Do you use your brain?

You just proved me right.

ZERO Hope and Change placards.

ZERO Hope and Change or Yes We Can chants from the herd of sheep.

But what you did hear was Obama blasting negative ads...who holds the record for most negative ads run in US history? Oh...Mr. Hope and Change who ironically shuns negative ads. You are such a sheep you were probably applauding Obama for those hollow and hypocritical words.

P.S. It is "Forward" as in don't go backwards to Bush, Romney equals Bush policy.

I think many people are realizing that Romney would have been a far superior president than "If you like your doctor/healthcare plan you can keep it" Obama.

Not really, the OP just LIED. The 71% regretting their vote was not 71% of all Obama voters. 79% of Obama voters said they would vote for him again 10% said no, 11% said not sure. Of the 10% that said they would not vote for him again 71% of those said they regretted their vote. So anyone who can do basic math can figure it out that 7.1% of Obama voters regretted their vote, not 71%. The OP LIED.
