Gee, why have an election then?

Economy- even after 3 1/2 years, the economy is not where Obama said it would be. And even though he himself said if he cant get things on a better track he doesnt deserve a second term. But no matter, its just someone else's fault so Obama shouldnt be held accountable for it

Foreign Policy - We are as hated as ever. Libya terror attack could have been prevented. Admin lied about it. But so what, right? It has to be someone else's fault. Lets just not get too touch on the Admin over this and lets just keep it as quiet as we can and from the public.

Layoff notices - Even though Obama is skirting the law by trying to block layoff notices, lets just keep quiet on that too. After all, it must be someone elses fault

So the excuse is, its just not his fault. So why should he be held accountable for anything....So the answer is to go hard after his rival and treat him as if he were the sitting President instead. Afterall, Obama has enough pressure as is, you know, going on The View and Letterman while skipping out on meeting world leaders. Why should he want to meet with world leaders after a terror attack that killed an Ambassador? He has more important things to worry about like saving his job.

Nothing is Obama's fault. Nothing. That about sums it up. So I guess everyone who is against Obama and his policies might as well just shut up and pack it in. Barack Obama is not liable for anything.
A) The press is corporate-owned - in many cases with a corporate republican agenda.
B) The economy is slowly improving. He did not bank on republican obstruction. Obama is not a dictator and does not control the economy - Congress does.
C) We are hated by our enemies, you know Al Qaeda, terrorists. You are not paying attention (or listening to Fox).
D) Seems to me this is just paranoia and sour grapes after having things your way for decades.
E) Righties keep complaining about his "policies, but never say what these "policies" are. This is, in many cases, just code for the "black guy in the White House". Otherwise, these policies could be named.

You're pretty defensive about a little 2-sentence post.
You are just repeating yourself - perhaps you answered some of those ads I mentioned. Doesn't matter...

If one wants to avoid service, then one should keep one's mouth shut where it concerns the lives of others.
A lot of men thought to go to that war. When they started the draft it changed who went and when. Romney had no way of knowing what number would be his.
Are you in the service? You are saying Mitt should keep his mouth shut....what about yours? If we all tell each other to keep our mouths shut, whose freedom of speech is it?
We allow all the media to report, even if we don't agree with what is said. Each individual also gets to say their side if they want to.

I'm not talking about the draft. What don't you understand about hypocrisy?

Actually Romney is being treated like Kerry....it is baffling that the Cons on here don't see that.

The Vietnam war was a draft war. So if you are talking about serving during Nam, you are talking about the draft.
Please then explain what exactly you are talking about.
to quote the president "let me be clear", I do understand hypocrisy.

If you are talking about Romney policies today, that he would send people to war...guess he and President Obama have something in common after all.

People can volunteer for any war they support. Nobody had to wait for their "number" to be called.

No I am talking about Romney's character and past behavior. No clue??

Okay, so you don't like Obama - good for you.
You're not aware that Obama is winding down the wars handed to him? Where do you get your news?
