That 1% in reality is the entire USA. If reelected Obama will continue to plunder America, further declining her standing in the world, heaping unsustainable debt upon the nation. And those entitlements that most Americans rely on will be redused due to austerity measures, drastically higher taxes, an a possible demise.

You Better Know It He’s Just A Butt Kisser Of The Rich Man Another American Taliban TROLL!!! He More Than Likely Still Living At Home With His Mother!!!

Lynda, ole Toni should also be made aware of another FACT. The overwhelming amout of the National Debt was created by……REPUBLICAN administrations. Reagan, Bush I and Bush II are the culprits AND they had REPUBLICAN control of the House AND Senate when this happened. AT LEAST $12 trillion of the National Debt was done on THEIR watch. Much from cuts for the rich via tax cut legislation that THEY passed. Now the SOB’s want to DICTATE how to cut back on programs they don’t like because THEY created the problem. Only in America can they do this and make the rest of us think that the tax and spend DEMS. did it. F— them and their a—— Tea Party lambs.

Toni…perhaps you should break the Xanix in half next time.

Poor Poor Tony, no the rest is the 99% who will be hurt by the Ryan Budget. Your comment is supporting the 1% who will be helped by this union. Funny, the latest Gallup Poll shows Ryan is not the golden boy the repukes are claiming him to be. He just turned off the swing voters with this pick!!!!!!

Thanks JHG. If you consider my comments heroic, then I am in the company of heroes here, since there are so many of like mind. By the way, if your use of Jar Head is reference to being a Marine, thanks for your service and I’m proud to say my only child, an 18 year old son, just became a member of those ranks. Now more than ever I pray for wisdom in the highest office, so when he is called upon to do his duty, that he does so for just and honorable causes.

Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed

Please stop, the pumps can’t keep up with your flow rate. How do you do it?
Do what? Put out crap faster than the pumps can move it.

Well said! Sad that these people cannot understand this!

Thank you for this very informative, clearly stated comment. It won’t matter to the racists and the idealogues who populate these threads, but I think there may be a few rational readers who will gain insight from you. Please continue to get this message out.

I guess from your comments you have no position, except to play the role of a moderator with all the right answers & no opinions. Interesting. You must feel like you are a political science professor grading a paper. I should be somewhat pleased you at least confirmed I had some good points. But, even with that observation you covered yourself by saying this is not to say you agree with my statements. Talk about rambling, or better yet, double talk. Let’s make a deal that makes both our time more valuable, no further comments. If you feel Obama is the right guy, then vote for him and see what happens. Good luck and I hope you have a relaxing evening. Regards, ED

It appears you must have missed the first two years of Obama’s presidency when the Democrat’s had control of the White House, the House and the Senate. He had absolute total control do pass anything. I guess his priority during those two years were something other than fixing the economy, as he promised, or creating jobs, as he promised, or reducing the debt by 50%, as he promised. To mention just a couple of his ‘failed’ promises.

I strongly suggest you need to take a closer review of ALL the members of the House and Senate. These are the fools that voted for all these expenditures that have us at $16 Trillion dollar deficit. Bush may have been President, but who passes the Bills into Laws and approves the spending? It sure isn’t the President.

Now, you say I would not know a Marxist if one came up and bit me on the ass. Well, my friend, I have read both of Obama’s books and he makes it perfectly clear what he defines as a Marxist and proudly claims to be one, like his father, mother and grandfather in Hawaii claimed to be. You might consider reading the new book: “The Communist”. It will help you to better understand how Obama was mentored and molded into a Marxist. You have a lot to learn. By the way, it has nothing to do with race. Marxism has nothing to do with race. A member of any race can believe in Marxism.

Next, you presume to lecture me on paying my fair share. Who are you to tell anyone, much less me, to pay my fair share. I can assure you, I’m 69 years old and I can guarantee you I paid more taxes in 2011 than you have paid in your lifetime. Of course, I am assuming you have been employed, and earned enough to qualify you to pay taxes. After reading your comments, I’m more inclined to believe you are a life long member of the entitlement crowd who anxiously await their monthly checks for sitting on their ass watching TV and sending nasty emails about subjects they know absolutely nothing about.

My friend, I have never complained about paying my income tax obligations. You see, many people who are hard working and successful, and financially responsible, are proud to pay their income taxes. On the other hand, America has a growing number of deadbeats, like yourself, who are only interested in Obama’s free lunch programs and entitlement programs because they are too damn lazy to get off their ass and go to work. My guess, you probably went to a liberal college and got your degree in some social-
justice program and after a brief job search, discovered you have no job opportunities. And, then found the answer – apply for unemployment. Typical solution and the perfect candidate to be a Obama supporter.

Lastly, I am not whining. I think, if you read your comments closely, you are the one whining and looking for the handout. Well, dial ” O ” for Obama and maybe your guy will continue sending you checking for doing nothing. After all, that’s what you want out of life. I pray you wake up before the election and recognize you could have a future, but putting your future in Obama’s hands will cost ” YOU ” dearly. And, time will prove me right! Regards, ED

You are wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong are virtually all your assumptions. First of all, I’s 69 years of age and still employed full time, which means I’m still productive and my company is able to provide me with complete medical coverage until my 72nd Birthday.
And, for those people like yourself, who are not totally informed about insurance coverage, medi-care and social security. Everyone has the choice of even delaying their social security benefits until they reach 72 years of age. So, that means I am still paying the maximum required towards social security, and I might add, I have been paying the maximum every year since I began working. So, you are not funding my social security benefits and most likely not paying the maximum annually.
As for my employer, I have never been employed by the Government, except when I served my 6 years in the military. My guess the military was something that did not appeal to you.
By the way, I am not the one condemning someone for their political view. You should spend a minute and reflect on your comments and name calling. I sense a great deal of frustration and anger in your comments, which demonstrates your lack of maturity. As for Mr. Buffett, I respect his accomplishments, but detest his failure to pay his corporate taxes. The last report I read indicated he owes in excess of $1 Billion dollars in taxes and is in litigation with the I.R.S. And, yes, he is an Obama buddy. Makes me wonder why. I guess, like most of the White House Cabinet members, he feels Obama will give him a free pass on paying taxes. Mr. Gates has a pretty interesting history too. And, your are wrong about me or anyone else capable of teaching them how to be successful, unless you are more specific about your definition of successful.
If you have done so well for yourself and welcome the increase in your income taxes in 2013, that’s wonderful. I completely agree, it’s our civic duty to pay income taxes. The more one earns the more one should pay in income taxes. I think we are on something. What we probably disagree about is that 47% of Americans do not pay any taxes. In my opinion, everyone who benefits from America should contribute their fair share and nothing is not a fair share. As for my education, I received an outstanding education and was wise enough to get my Masters in Marketing. My education has been my best investment in time and money.
Now, you say I am whining. I see it the other way around. I have spent a life time of helping people succeed in business, eduction and life. And, I have discovered many individuals like yourself who cannot be helped. You make it clear in your comments, you have all the answers and you have a closed mind to new ideas. You are so caught up in labeling people for their viewpoint. I honestly feel sorry for you and wish you could get past your anger and frustrations with whatever has happened to disappoint you in your career path. Honestly, I do not get your references to viagra. Here again, I can only assume viagra must have some deep meaning in your life. I do not use drugs of any kind.
I sincerely hope you are able to find some happiness in your life. Politics is not something that will bring happiness in your life, that for sure. Good Luck. Regards, ED

Good morning, I have a few last comments and a suggestion. First of all, go onto Amazon and make an investment in a few books that will be very enlightening to you, two of them written by Mr. Barack Obama: “The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams of my Father”. You will find Mr. Obama does an excellent job of identifying exactly what he stands for and what he sees as wrong in America. Then, I recommend reading “The Communist” by Paul Kengor and “The Amateur” by Edward Klein. After you have had time to digest everything said by and about Mr. Obama, I think you will have a much better idea of why the American economy is in the condition it’s in today. Draw your own conclusions.

As for social security and medi-care, I still have a few years to decide if I wish to try and recoup some of the money ” I HAVE DEPOSITED” into “MY SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDI-CARE ACCOUNTS”. Yes, according to the two plans, every participant is suppose to contribute. It’s kind of like a 401K account, you and I deposit monies we have earned and expect to receive during retirement. These accounts were never designed to be robbed by the Politician’s to be used for entitlement programs. NEVER! Now, assuming I live to be 72, at that time I can elect to collect some portion of the funds I earned and the government deposited towards my retirement. I’m guessing, you think someone, like me, who has been successful, should be depositing those funds to cover other peoples retirement. Who gets to determine who those individuals might be – YOU or maybe Obama? I guess this is the social-justice plan Obama often speaks about. Kinda like the way he has elected to ignore his own flesh and blood living in a hut in Kenya, right?

I’m not claiming 47% of Americans do not pay income taxes. The government has reported these as facts. It’s interesting that you get to determine what a ‘disproportional amount of their income” might be compared to others in society. It sounds like you feel anyone inside the 47% should get a free ride and not be motivated to improve their future. At the rate Obama’s economy continues to decline, that 47% will soon be 57%, or 67%. Hey, maybe it should be 99% and let the 1% pay for the 99%. That sounds pretty good too. OF course, even if Obama was able to tax the 1% an amount equal to all their wealth, it would only pay our national debt for about 30 days. At that point, who gets to be taxed?
Surely, not you. After all, you earned your money! Right?

Young man, here you are again ranting the race thing again. Tell me, what has Obama’s race got to do with his failed policies and programs. I guess, in your mind, because he happens to be black and voted into office by virtually every member of every race, the race card is used to defend his failed policies and programs. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way in real life. His race has nothing to do with anything, it’s his Marxist ideals that he states clearly in his books and what he was taught by his mentors and family. Wake up and give the race thing a break. If you are disappointed about your identity and wish to blame everyone for your success, I get your anger. But, only you can look inside yourself and recognize ‘anyone’ can be successful with the right efforts, hard work and commitment. You might also read a few of Tony Robbins books while you are at it. You need to cleanse your mind of all this hatred, anger and distorted viewpoints. Obama is what he is and he will never change. Accept it. He states loud and clear his plan is working! Read his books, written in his words and you will better understand the man and his mission in life.

Yes, I am happy to mention I am 69 and still aging. I am a happy guy with very few regrets. I hope you find yourself and recognize all the great opportunities America and Capitalism has to offer you and everyone who has the vision to recognize. My last suggestion: Quit the race thing and quite trying to defend Obama!

Good luck. Regards, ED

Like I said, read both of Obama’s books. I was under the impression he wrote both books. Are you suggesting he did NOT write the words in these books that state they were written by Obama? If you really believe everything you say, then read his books. Maybe, after hearing what he has to say, you might have a clearer understanding of the man’s ideology.

As for your continued reference to race. I’m quite certain you are the one with the racial issues and insecurity about issues, or you would not almost label someone a racist for expressing their views about the President or anyone else.

In my comments, I never tried to compare social security to a 401K, except to point out they are both funded by each individuals contributions. One mandated and the other voluntary. In both cases, each individual at some point can hopefully live long enough to benefit from those contributions. I recognize Congress can make changes, after all, that’s the reason social security will probably go bankrupt by 2022, according to recent reports.

Look, you can continue living in the past and playing the blame game. Bush is out of office.
President Obama is the guy who made all the promises of hope and change, to reduce the debt by 50% and create all these jobs. Do you remember those promises? Yes, I know, he underestimated the problems. Well, he’s the President and the guy that is suppose to be a leader with all the solutions. All I have seen since the day he came into office is his constant blaming of the previous administration. Remember he said, if he does not accomplish his promises he would be a one-term President. Guess what, he failed!

Hey, my age seems to bother you more than it bothers me. I guess I’m trying to use my age to point out I have lived to see and experience many things in my life time. We all have the right to express our opinions openly. I’m not being critical of your opinion, I am simply trying to give you my take on the subjects mentioned in our exchange of ideas.
I hope one day, you will learn to have an exchange without trying to label the opposing person as a racist or twisting someones words to say they are stating something they are not expressing. I have never questioned Obama’s legitimacy. I have simply stated his policies and programs have failed to reverse the economy and unemployment numbers.
I get your point of view, he can do no wrong and you will support the guy. Great, that’s your choice. Go for it.

Again, I wish you only the best. Regards, ED

WOW! When someone disagrees with Obama, in your mind it will always be because the opposing party is a racist or using you favorite term; a bigot. You are obviously a very shallow person with a strong commitment to a President that has failed to live up to “HIS PROMISES!” You can believe he has done an outstanding job and believe he has turned around the economy and created millions of jobs. And, you can label anyone that disagrees with your assumptions all you desire. I look around and see a totally different picture. If any person is backpedaling, it’s Obama.

I stand by my comments about Social Security. I believe every participant is suppose to contribute towards social security based on their earnings and the current laws governing the amount to be deducted from every participants paycheck. Are we clear and agreeable?
The funds deposited into each participants social security account determine the amount of money they will receive every month after the date they are qualified to apply, beginning at 62 years of age. Some participants may elect to wait till they are 66 years of age and others, like myself, can elect to wait till they reach the age 0f 72 years. It’s all about the amount of funds social security has collected from each participant and when they elect to receive their respective benefit. Are we getting closer to what you feel is the correct description of the social security plan?
As for a 401K, here again I stand by my comments about every one elected to participate in a 401K plan has the right to contribute a percentage of their income, before being taxed. Based on the amount of funds deposited and invested over the period of the plan, a person can elect to make a withdraw and pay income taxes on those funds being distributed. Here again, their are too many 401K plan options to get any more specific. Most people have no idea how to create a 401K and depend on an employers to provide a plan. From my experience, most Americans fail to investigate their options for establishing their own 401K. They want 100% of their paycheck – to spend it, not save it for retirement.

I am not interested in your defense of Obama or your hatred for Bush. I believe the political system is broken, and all politicians have lost their integrity. I repeat, all politicians have lost their integrity! Get it. That’s bush, that’s Obama and that all the members of the House and Senate. They gave an oath when they took office to be responsible. I see total irresponsible actions by every Republican and every Democrat.

I will close by recommending you take the time and spend a few dollars on Amazon to buy and read the two books Obama wrote himself and in his own words. If after reading his books you can say with a straight face he is NOT a Marxist, I will be amazed, but not shocked. You really have a blind side when it comes to Obama and will defend him in any way possible, even if you have to call people names because they disagree with you and Obama’s failed policies and programs.

Let’s call a truce and respect we happen to disagree. Time will expose the truth. History is our greatest teacher.

Regards, ED

I forgot to mention something important. Go to your favorite search engine and run a search on Mr. Buffett’s battles with the I.R.S. – He has one outstanding litigation for over $1 Billion dollars and another more recent for almost $400 Million dollars. Now, this is not my jealousy, this is the I.R.S. who is suing Mr. Buffett for being a deadbeat on the taxes the I.R.S. says he owes. I must admit, it’s difficult to understand why a guy who is worth many, many Billions would not be willing to pay his taxes without any hesitation or reservations. As I said before, paying taxes is the civic duty of every American. Regards, ED

A truce it is.

Honestly, I formed my opinion about Obama after reading his two books. He consistently expresses his strong dislike for America and Capitalism. He openly admits being mentored by some self proclaimed Marxist and communist, like his father and mother, and many others. Look, I’m not into hating him or any other person, but I have very strong feelings about America and the great way of life that Capitalism has brought to most Americans. I cannot defend the actions of politicians, regardless of party, it is what it is. My theory is to only give them one-term, with no exceptions. Power has taken over Washington and they make decisions and deal without concern about the effects it has on all Americans. Somehow, these guys and gals have forgotten about integrity and being accountable for their actions. I’m for stopping the spending immediately and balance the budgets, regardless what gets cut. If you or I were bankrupt, the Judge would go over our debt, item by item, and determine what is necessary and what needs to be eliminated. That’s how I see us coming up with a solution. One term makes them honest and leaves them without power and a lifetime job.
As to your point on medi care, I’m not sure what exactly your thinking – I said. As I mentioned, I have been paying into medi care for years. Fortunately, I am still employed full time and have great insurance coverage for my wife and I. I will be forced to accept medi care when I turn 72 years of age. I guess at that time, assuming I’m still around, I will have to deal it what ever is left of the program – when these politicians get done moving the funds from one program to another. I believe every American should be able to select an insurance carrier across state lines, much like Auto Insurance. Give people a choice and the rates will get competitive very quickly. Hopefully, I have explained my position on medi care. One thing is for certain, the benefits will be reduced considerably after Obama care takes effect – remember, the Bill requires over $500 Billion to be taken out of medi care and transferred to operate Obama care. At least, that my understanding, after reading the 2,700 pages in the Bill Congress approved. I strongly suggest you take the time to read it too. It will give you thousands of reasons to agree with me on having one-term politicians.
Have a wonderful evening. ED

I’m sorry for the mix up on my part. And, thanks for your comments. They were very informative. Regards, ED

Ed, I’m not talking about letting the tax cuts expire for only those earning over $250,000- I’m talking about letting the Bush tax cuts expire for everyone. Why is it so unrealistic to go back to a tax structure that worked fine in the 1990′s? Look, I don’t relish the idea of paying more in taxes and, believe me, it will hurt me much more than it will hurt the 1%ers. It won’t change their lifestyle in the least. Mine it will. I’m self-employed and I do struggle to pay my taxes, but I would accept a tax increase for the good of our country.Maybe the people who post comments here on the National Memo can start a movement right now to tell the politicians that, under certain conditions of fiscal responsibility, perhaps a balanced budget that doesn’t harm the poor and needy, we will accept letting the Bush tax cuts expire for everyone. It’s time we all did something rather than to fruitlessly argue back and forth. Talk is cheap. Anybody out there with me on this?

First thing, I am not your friend. Second thing, you know absolutely nothing about me, so your ignorant rant about me having nothing is completely wrong. I too, have worked very hard for what I have. I did not receive charity from anyone.
And yes Ed, at one time in my life, I had to stand in line for food and shelter. But I climbed out of that misery and made a very nice life for myself. Gee Ed, and I even did it as a liberal. That righteous Republicans wanted to make sure degenerates like me went away.
Gee Ed, I persevered and thrived.
My future Ed? It is very bright. However, a righteous Republican like you would take away all of the opportunities that are available.
So Ed, your value judgement on me is very much like your politics-useless and uninformed
Gee Ed, Much to your chagrin.
By the way Ed, if you have any problems with the big words, thank an educator-someone who cares. But I doubt a righteous Republican like you would not know how to use a dictionary, unless there was money in it to show you how to use one. People like you usually just do what they are told-good little tea baggers!
But I digress ( Big word Ed). A righteous Republican like you probably worked for the government, sits on a nice pension, having lived off the misery of us poor liberal white trash.
Did you ever hear the terms, “of the people, by the people, and for the people?” No of course not. People like you only read and listen to what they are told. Good little conservatives.
Yes Ed, I make choices-informed choices. I don’t have people like Rush Limbaugh tell me what to think.
So, Ed, I have woke up. I look at righteous people like you and I just laugh at you.
I feel sorry for the way this country is headed. Very sorry. This is not the country of my Dad and Grandfathers. It is a country headed up by big business. It is headed by a special club-guess what Ed, you are not in the club. You are a wannabeeeee! Sad!
They need people like you, especially at this time-to get them elected-but building up your self-esteem because of pretending to be one of the 1%? Sad Ed, very sad.
Yes Ed, changes have to be made.I am all for cuts-but not at my expense.
I am all for shaping up medicare-but not so some fat cat that Ryan and Romney can have their friends make money off of me.
And just what is wrong with health care for everybody Ed? Go check with Paul Ryan. I am sure that he will give you the answer that you want to hear-for a donation of course! Gotta be a righteous Republican now!
Are you against Obama because he is Black? Probably. All of you righteous Republicans Tea baggers hate change-at least change that does not benefit you.A black man for president? Horrors-my God, Muffy, next they will have a female in the white house!
Now, I have wasted too much time on a person like you. So go back to what you were doing Ed. Be a righteous Republican-at least outwardly. Pretend you are part of the club, feel good about yourself and don’t waste my time with your pathetic rhetoric. I have little time for pretenders and wannabees!
. Don’t worry Ed, us useless liberals will clean up the messes that Paul Ryan,Tommy Thompson, Scott Walker and Mittens Romney will do. It will take generations.
Last thing, read the following excerpt (big word Ed, dictionary time!). See if any of this will sink in. After all, he’s a black president-probably isn’t real smart! I feel sorry for people like you Ed.
Please do not respond to this Ed-Your pathetic vitriolic words are amusing, at best.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree.
As would-be president Mitt Romney tells it: “I will lead us out of this debt and spending inferno.”
Almost everyone believes that Obama has presided over a massive increase in federal spending, an “inferno” of spending that threatens our jobs, our businesses and our children’s future.
But it didn’t happen. Although there was a big stimulus bill under Obama, federal spending is rising at the slowest pace since Dwight Eisenhower brought the Korean War to an end in the 1950s.
Even hapless Herbert Hoover managed to increase spending more than Obama has.
Here are the facts, according to the official government statistics:
• In the 2009 fiscal year — the last of George W. Bush’s presidency — federal spending rose by 17.9% from $2.98 trillion to $3.52 trillion. Check the official numbers at the Office of Management and Budget.
• In fiscal 2010 — the first budget under Obama — spending fell 1.8% to $3.46 trillion.
• In fiscal 2011, spending rose 4.3% to $3.60 trillion.
• In fiscal 2012, spending is set to rise 0.7% to $3.63 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the budget that was agreed to last August.
• Finally in fiscal 2013 — the final budget of Obama’s term — spending is scheduled to fall 1.3% to $3.58 trillion. Read the CBO’s latest budget outlook.
Over Obama’s four budget years, federal spending is on track to rise from $3.52 trillion to $3.58 trillion, an annualized increase of just 0.4%.
There has been no huge increase in spending under the current president, despite what you hear.
Why do people think Obama has spent like a drunken sailor? It’s in part because of a fundamental misunderstanding of the federal budget.
What people forget (or never knew) is that the first year of every presidential term starts with a budget approved by the previous administration and Congress. The president only begins to shape the budget in his second year. It takes time to develop a budget and steer it through Congress — especially in these days of congressional gridlock.
The 2009 fiscal year, which Republicans count as part of Obama’s legacy, began four months before Obama moved into the White House. The major spending decisions in the 2009 fiscal year were made by George W. Bush and the previous Congress.
Like a relief pitcher who comes into the game with the bases loaded, Obama came in with a budget in place that called for spending to increase by hundreds of billions of dollars in response to the worst economic and financial calamity in generations.

WOW! Thanks for the awakening. Here I thought it was August 14th, 2012 and that Romney & Ryan were running in the November 6th, 2012 election.

I guess, if I’m living in the past, you must be living in the future. Must be wonderful to know everything worked out. The $16 Trillion in debt has been balanced to zero, every American desiring a job has been employed, social security, medi care and Obama care are operating within the budgets and solvent and of course, everyone of the rich cats have been taxed at 100%, and every American receives the same amount in their paycheck. This is truly your and Obama’s dream come true. Fantastic!

Talk about lies. Who gave you the crystal ball to know who is telling the truth and who is lying? From where I stand, it more than clear, the only stupid Americans are the ones who continue to vote for these politicians that have voted for all these spending bills and entitlement programs. I sense you are a firm believer of the social-justice philosophy and cannot be persuaded to consider being a contributor to society. Unfortunately, we have millions of Americans who want to sit home and collect a check for contributing nothing towards society.

If you are happy with the way America is declining, great. I’m not. So, if I’m living in the past, fine. I worked hard all my life and I am satisfied with my accomplishments and contributions to society. Hopefully, you will one day look back and feel your vision and achievements make you happy with yourself. Regards, ED

Hey, if your happy with your life. Great! I am delighted with my life and my 69 years of a fruitful life. If you are articulate in words like ‘Snorting’ and ‘Viagra’, it would appear you have the dependency and need to seek help. I hope you find it quickly. Now, I better understand why you are so angry and disappointed in your life. Maybe you should call Obama for help. I’m sure his Obama care offers free services that can help your dependency problems. Good luck. ED

Well Ed…I prefer the toned down reply, that speaks of you and not the GOP speaking points or B.S. rhetoric. The post office is profitable but they have been strapped by BUSH to super fund their pension to match 70 years in advance, that has proven to be impossible, but they tried. And yes UPS and FEDEX are profitable fast and efficient but even a letter via them cost $8-$10. As for your mom’s plight re ID, it didn’t sound easy or free. That is why the new laws passed by the GOP lawmakers from state to state are reprehensible. Voting should not be hard or have any expenses. Jus ’cause you have to have id for travel, as I do a passport doesn’t mean everyone else does. Vote out most of the incumbents…McConnell, Boehner, Ryan, even Pelosi and Reid. But don’t start with Obama he is new to the game, and trying to fix it he has been blocked completely the last two years. And I would suspect the JOB has a learning curve. Vote in Romney and we are back in the Cheney greed years.

Hey, looks like you are a happy with the Obama economy and all his new policies, i.e., Obama care, higher taxes beginning on January 1, 2013, forecast for higher unemployment in 2013, etc. That great!

Now, let’s see how you feel when you get your fist pay check in 2013. Then, let’s see how Obama manages Syria and Iran. It will be interesting to see him negotiate with the Muslim Brotherhood. Oh well, maybe he will remind the Brotherhood what he did to Gadhafi and Osama – right? He will simply apply a little fear to keep them in line. Right!

Do you think Mr. Obama will have jobs for the thousands of troops returning? After all, he claims his new energy programs will provide millions of jobs.

Well Mr. Liberal, it appears you have everything figured-out and know all the answers, so good luck with your efforts to get Obama reelected. I’m sure you will be able to handle all the challenge his reelection will present you over the next 4 years. Regards, ED

It’s really interesting how you respond. When someone disagrees with your opinion, you immediately start labeling people. How do you come up with ‘racist phuque’ from any of my comments? Or, the label you use when mention Mr. Romney – RoMoney the Morman crook? Talk about disrespecting someone. Had he not taken over the Salt Lake Olympics when he was asked, you and millions of other Americans would not have been able to watch a truly successful event. It could have easily ended up like our current Obama economy. As for Mr. Ryan hating the poor and middle class, I think you have him mixed-up with Obama, the guy who left his half-brother and Grandmother living in camp in Kenya. As for the seniors in Florida, let’s see what happens when they see how Obama has reduced their medi-care benefits by over $500 Billion dollars. When their doctors cut their services we will see who they vote for on November 6th. As for the election out-come, I’m not going to be effected one way or another, it people like you who will get screwed out of your future. You will see what I mean when you collect your pay check in January, 2013, assuming you work for a living. Yep, this election is all about you younger folks and your future. The $16 Trillion in debt is yours to pay back, not me or Obama. As for the Taliban and the Muslin Brotherhood, they are gaining momentum, thanks to Obama. So, come November, the ball will be in your end of the court. While you are walking into the voting booth, remember one thing, this is Obama’s economy, his failed policies and his policies that failed to create jobs across America for our young graduating classes this past June. Lastly, remember too, with the current members serving in Congress and in the House, you will not see a single Bill passed that will reverse the current downward trends, so think about every single person you vote for in November. By the way, IT’S YOUR BUTT AND FUTURE THAT’S ON THE LINE! Regards, ED

My friend, you are really hung-up on Race and Bush. Give it a rest. The President, regardless who gets voted into Office, makes promises to all Americans to improve the economy and the future. We all know Bush failed, and now we know Obama has also failed. The color of their skin has nothing to do with their failures, it’s all about their failed policies. If you take the time to look around the US, you will see exactly what I see and is isn’t very promising. Based on your comments about ‘white guys’. I have to assume you are black. If so, consider the fact Mr. Obama has failed the black community to the tune of 17% unemployment, that’s much worse than any prior President. I’m think you are caught up on the 1%, 4%, 96% and the 99% movement. Well, my friend, those occupies are a bunch of worthless thugs who have no interest in employment. They are looking for entitlement programs and the hard workers in our society to pay for their life style. I’m sure you noticed they had all the newest iPads and iPods, and they all found people willing to pay them to demonstrate and occupy. Did they accomplish anything? No, they wasted their time and proved why none of the companies they may have applied for work would hire them. Its sad for young people to waste their lives thinking they can walk through life without any motivation to succeed and only contempt for those who apply themselves and become successful. I hope you wake up and get this chip off your shoulder about race, politics and the definition of success in life. Good luck. Regards, ED
