Or simply ask them why they are ignoring the concerns of the American people. Poll after poll that asks the people what their major concerns are, show that it's the economy, jobs, run-away government spending

Here are the top ten. People were simply asked to list if they were important issues that will influence who they vote for in the midterm election:

Economy - 75%

Health care - 71%

Job creation - 69%

Gov. spending -67%

Gov. ethics and corruption - 64%

Social Security - 63%

Education - 62%

Taxes - 55%

Immigration -51%

Small business - 51%

So let me see if I understand your position.

The worse the deficit is, the better it is to not make efforts to reduce it?

He is caught in an obvious lie, so what.

If someone found a video of Obama killing kittens the libs on this board would find a way to justify it.

Open you eyes.

If there is ever a video of Obama killing kittens, then I will regret not voting for him.

If you can't kill a kitten, how can you kill a man.

Oh for crying out loud. You guys will make ANY excuse for this guy. Obama lied. He lied about the IRS. He lied about Benghazi. He lied about healthcare. He lied about Guantanamo. He lied about no lobbyists in his administration. He lied about transparency in his administration. And that's the short list. He lies because no one calls him on it. You folks have it so bad for him you'll grab your ankles and close your eyes for anything he tells you, and then tell us to grow up. It's pathetic.
