It's obvious you have been sleeping for 4 years. Nothing has changed since Obama took office it has just gotten worse. It's like having Bush for 4 more years and we know how bad that worked out. Both parties are one of the same and until you people realize that we will just keep going down the toilet.

Anyone that believes Obama is for the little man knows absolutely nothing about his voting record for the past 4 years, instead you just watch the MSM and buy everything hook line and sinker. Americans are to lazy to find the truth on there own.

Obama didn't do that. Somebody else made that happen.

I did notice once Osama was killed the economy picked right up, jobs were everywhere, people starting getting off food stamps, house prices climbed faster than ever before, gas dropped in price, food became affordable for the poorer working people.

Sorry, killing Osama did nothing good for our country. It only made the radical Islamic type just a little more pissed off at America. But then CNN did not tell me that so I guess I am wrong. That's the problem with not being a sheep. You start using common sense and thinking logical, try it once.

We're supposed to "take his word" that he didn't take advantage of the system like is the custom of the rich people who support him. Absurd.

Deceptive marketing is the foundation of his campaign. It is common knowledge that Bush's presidency was a collosal failure and that the Republican policies that Mitt promotes were a complete failure. He and the GOP want us to pretend that Bush didn't happen. They want us to pretend that the tea party in Congress did nothing but oppose everything President Obama put forth, like a bunch of pouting crybabies in diapers refusing to cooperate because their feelings were hurt. Romney, as the representative of this bunch, the most bigoted in this country, is a loser. This is being clearly exposed this week.

In the coming weeks after the DNC, we will see Romney's numbers begin to fall as the superior President Obama begins to show his obvious superiority. Pubs want to focus on the results of Republican obstructionism. President Obama wants to focus on the progress that he's making despite historically pathetic GOP opposition. I'll take the President's view.

Pubs, are you getting the message yet that Romney hasn't a chance in hell to unseat this popular, effective President Obama? Wake up.

Hate to break it to you. Actually I don't. Presidents don't get reelected with his approval ratings. He has run a hate filled and dishonest campaign(something you know a lot about apprently)which shows what an empty vessel(or chair)this guyreally is.

I really hope Obama wins this one. This country is on a death spiral and neither Obama nor Mittens can stop it. So when it does fall apart (which could likely happen in the next 4 years) I don't want a Republican President in office. For better or worse the ideas of the free market, capitalism, private property, and liberty are tied in most people's minds to the GOP. When the housing market collapsed "capitalism" and "deregulation" got blamed even though capitalism and deregulation had nothing to do with the collapse. If Mittens and Paul "Marathon Man" Ryan are in office when the currency starts to collapse laissez faire capitalism, and the free market will get blamed once again and some Democrat idiot will get elected to "clean up" again.

Even though Mittens and Marathon Man are ideologically very similar to Obama and wouldn't do a single thing to cut the government most people think that Obama is the "big government" one. So if and when the debt bubble explodes I want Obama in office, the clear statist that everyone identifies as the big government Keynesian. I don't want capitalism left holding the bag again for a Keynesian mistake.

A long long time ago, you would have been the guy going "Hitler being dead isn't going to do anybody any good!"
