If he had just said that he could not convince 47% of the people to vote for him – that would be bad enough. What he did say is that he could never convince them to take personal responsibility and care for their life.

He is talking about combat soliders, he is talking about the mother caring for a handicapped child, he is talking about grandmothers and fathers in nursing homes. He NOW says that he has had a change of heart and disavows his remarks. He looked more truthful in Florida.

You are important, and my words reached you. Thanks for the fine compliment. We just all have to work on getting out votes, as the election is proving to be just as close as it was always expected to be. Obama/Biden 2012!

that was perfect. Why can’t that message be put into a campaign add–it is why I will vote for President Obama again and it is why I vote for the Democratic platform at the State level. thanks for taking the time to put your thoughts out there. I there is a way to get it to te ears of those who can spread it , I wish you would send it there, too.

The Bush tax cuts raised revenue to the government to nearly $2 trillion more than was being received previously. That was enough in one year to pay for the wars, but the money was spent elsewhere by the Democrat controlled Congress.

I believe those people would be with the IRS, who might be a little upset if Romney wasn’t paying his fair share.

The argument you make regarding Romney’s tax return applies just as well to Obama’s college records.

Fact check: No one except those who have seen ten or more years of Romney’s tax returns can be sure that, as you say, “Romney is paying
his fair share of taxes.” If what you claim were true, he would have no reason to refuse to disclose his tax returns.

So where were your concerns about the debt while two wars were being waged and NOT paid for or even included in the budget until President took office?

And they accepted it rather than negotiate.

PBS is non-critical. It is not a government function. It can be funded by those who enjoy its content. Simply because you get benefit from PBS does not make it a universal need for Americans that you must force on those who don’t want, like or need its content. It is just like a newspaper. If you agree with the editors of the paper, you subscribe. If you don’t like the content, you don’t subscribe.

Get smarter about big oil. It is not big oil that is driving the cost at the pump, especially in California. Do a little research and find out exactly what taxes they do pay instead of using partisan ‘common knowledge’.

It might be very advantageous for you to identify the ‘boneheads’ who changed SS so that it could be borrowed.

It also seems you are projecting what you would do if you were President and tasked with getting our deficits down. Think about how a business man might go about cutting expenses when he finds his costs exceed his income. Would you go for a big cut that might cripple your business or look for all the small things that have crept in over time?
