You may have never heard his name, but David Bossie has already done plenty to influence the 2012 election and he’s not finished yet.
NBC's Michael Isikoff speaks with Citizens United President David Bossie on Aug. 26, 2012 about the Obama-critical film "The Hope and the Change," set to premiere this week in Tampa.
Now, the veteran conservative activist, whose political “oppo” movie-making triggered the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court that unleashed unlimited spending on campaign ads, is planning to make another big splash at this week’s GOP convention. This week, Bossie will be unveiling a new $5 million attack film depicting Barack Obama as an out of touch elitist whose presidency has been a complete failure.
The movie , “The Hope and The Change,” is the latest and most ambitious production yet of Citizens United—the conservative advocacy group that Bossie heads. It’s an ideological companion to “2016: Obama’s America,” another anti-Obama movie by conservative writer Dinesh D’Souza that made a surprisingly strong showing in the box office last weekend.
There's a little bit of mixing business and pleasure at the Republican National Convention. The delegates will be wooed at lavish bashes, many times hosted by big lobbyists. NBC's Michael Isikoff reports.
In Bossie’s movie, an advance copy of which he shared with NBC News, a parade of 40 voters—all of whom say they voted for Obama in 2008 and many with hard luck stories – vent about bailouts, subsidies for the wealthy, health care and their utter disillusionment with the president.
“There are some really unbelievably powerful moments in this film where you get choked up over,” says Bossie, as he discussed his high hopes for the movie in an interview Sunday. “ Because these people, they’re your average Americans. These are average Americans.”
The voters seen in the film weren’t selected by accident. They were culled from thousands of participants in focus groups in key battleground states conducted for Citizens United by Patrick Cadell, the one- time Jimmy Carter pollster (and now a regular commentator on Fox News.) Cadell teamed up with Bossie and director Steve Bannon—former executive chairman of Breitbart.com, the website of the late conservative activist Andrew Breitbart-- to make “The Hope and The Change.”
“It’s really a story of these 40 Democrats and Independents and their lives over the last four years,” says Bossie. “They bought into the hope and change. They bought into the rhetoric of, ‘I’m a uniter, not a divider.’ ... If conservatives can learn to talk these people – this group of people – they’re going to be able to win a lot of elections.

Not all of the commentary made by the voters in the film would withstand the scrutiny of fact checkers. Several complain about big bail-outs to big banks (“Nobody came to help me and bail me out,” one says) with no mention that it was actually President Bush, not Obama, who approved the TARP bail-out to banks in late 2008.
But even more arresting moments than the stories of these voters may be shots in “The Hope and The Change” of adoring, near hysterical crowds watching Obama speeches in 2008 -- images that one critic has already compared to scenes from the movies of Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl. (Bossie, for his part, rejects the comparison, saying he’s never even seen any of Riefenstahl’s movies.)
Slideshow: Republican National Convention
As the movie progresses, these are followed by repeated clips of a seemingly carefree president shooting hoops, playing golf, yucking it up with Hollywood celebrities and taking vacations in Hawaii and Martha’s Vinyard—all while Bossie’s “average Americans” are suffering.
Bossie, who earned his spurs as a congressional investigator on the Whitewater investigation and other Clinton era probes, has invited hundreds to the world premier of “The Hope and The Change,” Tuesday afternoon at Liberty Plaza—a sprawling white tent a few blocks from the Tampa Convention Center where Citizens United, the super PAC American Action Network, and a host of other companies and lobbying organizations have set up entertainment centers and rest areas for the delegates and GOP lawmakers.
But Bossie says the big impact from his film will become later this week when he announces what he is touting as a “major TV deal” to air his movie on its entirety on cable. (Portions were aired last Friday night on a special Sean Hannity show.) Following that, Bossie says, the movie will be spliced up and turned into Citizens United attack ads that will run right up to election day.
In producing “The Hope and The Change,” Bossie says he takes his inspiration from Michael Moore, the famed leftwing filmmaker whose “Fahrenheit 911” skewered then-President George W. Bush before the 2004 election.

Indeed, Bossie says it was Moore who prompted him and Citizens United to do an earlier attack movie on Hillary Clinton that led to the now famous Supreme Court decision rejecting restrictions on big money attack ads in political campaigns.
“Michael Moore made a film attacking George Bush, and he didn’t let the facts get in the way of a good storyline,” says Bossie. “ What we did was want to be able to do the same thing. That’s what the Citizens United case emanated from. .. And that’s why in 2008 I went to the United States Supreme Court to fight for my right, and it took me many years. And in 2010 we finally won our victory.”
Now, Bossie says, the legal gloves are off: He can make whatever film he wants, spend as much as he can raise to influence the election (and not tell anybody where the money comes from) and not worry about the Federal Election Commission coming after him.
“This is the first election cycle that we are now legally able to make a political documentary and show it and its ads on television,” he says. “And we’re really excited about that.”


One of the best lines heard lately was from Izzy Kapp, a now
retired shop foreman from the old Republic Steel Plant in Cleveland. At 17
Izzy immigrated to the USA from England after his family escaped from Poland
when he was 12. A more proud American can not be imagined. He often said,
"I am overwhelmed by the opportunities my county offers me!"
All five of his children graduated from college. One got an
MS, another got a JD, and the third an MD degree. It took Izzy 13 years of
night school to get a college degree.
When a young Black kid was being laid off at the end of his 90
day evaluation period he confronted Izzy in the huge Republic Steel Plant
break room at lunch and tried to intimidate him with all sorts of NAACP /
ACLU / Etc threats.
"I want this on-the-record in front of everybody." the young
man said. "You' firin' me 'cause I'm Black!"
Without even looking up from his sandwich the foreman said,
"No. We hired you because you're Black. We're firing you
because you're useless."
Hey Barrak, If the shoe fits.......
ROMNEY/RYAN 2012... it's time to get America Back To Work!
From the article:
wait, wait, wait....
He's trying to paint Obama as an "out of touch elitist?!?" What does that make Romney? Just a regular Joe with a trust fund and foreign bank accounts?!?
WTF?
sstalag
...You're a shining example of...
...The Romney/Ryan campaign ...
...to UNITE America...
Not even Ron Paul wants to be associated with...
...the out of control, racist right wing Romney/Ryan tax cheat, government/ America-hating express...
...He refuses to speak at Republican convention...
Obama-Biden 2012
For LEADERSHIP that protects EVERY American
"Out of touch elitist"? LMAO.... That sounds more like Romney, you know, the guy that had a multimillion dressage horse in the Olympics, the elevator at his mansion for his cars, Swiss bank accounts, cayman island businesses that dodge taxes, the guy who told us to borrow from Mom and Dad for college...
As for being divisive, Obama bent over backwards to compromise with the GOP in his first 16 months in office, before realizing he was losing his back bone and angering his constituents.
It's the GOP that is out of touch and elitist.... and oh, the majority of them are white, with a sprinkling of black and Latino.
If you have no problem with huge corporations and foreign entities anonymously pouring unlimited, unreported sums of cash into the American political system for the purpose of influencing American elections, vote Republican in 2012.
This is what Citizens United has done.
According to the report, America for Sale: A Report on Billionaires Buying the 2012 Election, here are the 26 billionaires who are trying to buy your government:
1). Sheldon Adelson, owner of the Las Vegas Sands Casino, is worth nearly $25 billion, making him the 14th wealthiest person in the world and the 7th richest person in America. While median family income plummeted by nearly 40% from 2007-2010, Mr. Adelson has experienced a nearly eightfold increase in his wealth over the past three years (from $3.4 billion to $24.9 billion). Forbes recently reported that Adelson is willing to spend a “limitless” amount of money or more than $100 million to help defeat President Obama in November.
2. The Kochs (David, Charles, and William) are worth a combined $103 billion, according to Forbes. They have pledged to spend about $400 million during the 2012 election season. The Kochs own more wealth than the bottom 41.7 percent of American households or more than 49 million Americans.
3. Jim Walton is worth $23.7 billion. He has donated $300,000 to super PACs in 2012.
4. Harold Simmons is worth $9 billion. He has donated $15.2 million to super PACs this year.
5. Peter Thiel is worth $1.5 billion. He has donated $6.7 million to Super PACs this year.
6. Jerrold Perenchio is worth $2.3 billion. He has donated $2.6 million to super PACs this year.
7. Kenneth Griffin is worth $3 billion and he has given $2.08 million to super PACs in 2012.
8. James Simons is worth $10.7 billion and he has given $1.5 million to super Pacs this year.
9. Julian Robertson is worth $2.5 billion and he has given $1.25 million to super PACs this year.
10. Robert Rowling is worth $4.8 billion and he has given $1.1 million to super PACs.
11. John Paulson, the hedge fund manager who made his fortune betting that the sub-prime mortgage market would collapse, is worth $12.5 billion. He has donated $1 million to super PACs.
12. Richard and J.W. Marriott are worth a combined $3.1 billion and they have donated $2 million to super PACs this year.
13. James Davis is worth $1.9 billion and he has given $1 million to super PACs this year.
14. Harold Hamm is worth $11 billion and he has given $985,000 to super PACs this year.
15. Kenny Trout is worth more than $1.2 billion and he has given $900,000 to super PACs this year.
16. Louis Bacon is worth $1.4 billion and he has given $500,000 to super PACs this year.
17. Bruce Kovner is worth $4.5 billion and he has given $500,000 to super PACs this year.
18. Warren Stephens is worth $2.7 billion and he has given $500,000 to super PACs this year.
19. David Tepper is worth $5.1 billion and he has given $375,000 to super PACs this year.
20. Samuel Zell is worth $4.9 billion and he has given $270,000 to super PACs this year.
21. Leslie Wexner is worth $4.3 billion and he has given $250,000 to super PACs this year.
22. Charles Schwab is worth $3.5 billion and he has given $250,000 to super PACs this year.
23. Kelcy Warren is worth $2.3 billion and he has given $250,000 to super PACs this year.
The thing that these billionaires love most about Citizens United it is that it allows them to operate in total darkness. The American people couldn’t fight back because the billionaires were giving their money anonymously. This same cloak of invisibility is what made ALEC so effective for years. The conservative billionaire cabal works best in private, behind closed doors, far away from curious eyes.
They're both out of touch. That's the point. Render the Obama hate & no change machine without a message.
Barack Obama's Main Accomplishments:
Signed the National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) Bill into Law allowing any US citizen to Be Detained WITHOUT trial (A federal Court Blocked it in May because it Violates the Constitution, but Obama is not trying to get it UNBLOCKED!).
He has Killed HUNDREDS of Innocent people (Including 3 American Citizens) in Pakistan and Yemen with Drone Strikes (He’s Ordered even more drone strikes than Bush!).
The rate of National Debt under George Bush was Around $60 Billion a Month. Under Obama, it’s been $190 Billion a Month, so that would be Nearly $600 Per US Citizen (Thanks Obama!).
Obama Care: Page 22. MANDATES, The Government will Audit Book of ALL Employers who Self Insure. Page 50, Section 152, Health Care WILL be Provided to ALL Non US Citizens, Illegal or otherwise. Page 126, Lines 22-25, Employers Must Pay for Their Part time Employees Health Care AND Their Families. Page 127, Lines 1-16, The Government WILL Tell you How much Money you can Make.
Obama has By-passed Congress to Enable the DREAM Act (Unconstitutional to By-Pass Congress, and the Illegals he allowed to become Legal Citizens has Committed over 19 Murders and Over 142 Sex crimes).
Obama Claims he Campaigned in 57 States (Maybe he wasn’t Born in this Country?).
Not that Romney is a better candidate, but they are trying to slow the progression to a socialist state. The debt is ballooning out of control (yes I do blame bush for starting that) but Obama has taken deficit spending to new levels.
When Obama was campaigning in 2007 he said:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
To think, all you people voted for someone who wishes to create a police state.
OK, Billy, I sent you an Email with all of the Sources.
Ugly, ugly, ugly!
Wake up now!
Not that Romney is a better candidate, but they are trying to slow the progression to a socialist state. The debt is ballooning out of control (yes I do blame bush for starting that) but Obama has taken deficit spending to new levels---------------
-------------------
You do realize that spending has come down over the last 3 years, don't you?
That line is an old joke and just another piece of propaganda.
Hilarious! "I'm a uniter, not a divider" is a quote from GEORGE W BUSH!
If these are stories from 40 average Americans dissillusioned and down on their luck, there is no question, they WON'T be better off under Mitt Romney.
Somewhere in the deepest bowels of Hell, Goebbels and Hitler are smiling. They invented this type of propaganda and we are witnessing the the largest scale implementation of it in history.
First it was FOX News and Rush Limbaugh and now it's Citizens United bankrolling propaganda films. Herr Goebbels will be so proud.
And don't throw Michael Moore in my face. He's cut from the same cloth and I havn't seen a single one of his movies. I'm an Independent. I am intelligent. And unlike most Fox viewers or Rush listeners I know the difference between actual news and entertainment and propaganda.
How sad. How very very sad.
But you're not listening. You're not reading my words and understanding what's happening are you?
The French have a phrase for this: "The dialogue of the deaf."
We had a "dialogue of the deaf" throughout the 1850's and it resulted in the American Civil War. We had a "dialogue of the deaf" in the run-up to 1914 and to 1941 and look what happened.
But nothing I can say will open your ears or your minds and based on historical precedent we are headed for unimaginable tragedy.
Obama/Biden 2012 Our last, best hope.
Thank You for your Input, Marxist.

Just for the record, no I am not a Marxist, I'm not a Communist, I'm not a Democrat or a Socialist. I'm an American and unlike you I can think for myself and string more then three words together in a cogent sentence.
You and yours are the problem and trying to talk to you rationally and respectfully is a waste of time because you are deaf. You only know and understand what is spoon-fed to you. You are not capable of independent thinking or reasoning.
I'd feel sorry for you if you and your kind were not so dangerous. I'm afraid if it weren't for the language barrier you'd feel right at home in Germany in 1933.
Obama/Biden 2012
I not only question Fox and Rush, but also Maddow, Moore, NBC, etc. I try to listen to all of them - and I find points of agreement with all of them - although I generally find more points of disagreement since they all seem to take more extremist views than I am comfortable with.
Overall, I think it's good for everyone to question all of their information sources. Unfortunately, it seems most people only question sources from "the other side".
I can Speak German, Moron, and Also, I think you would like Nazi Germany. If you Like Obama, you sure as hell would love Hitler.
That pretty much says it all - dishonest, deceitful, partisan hackery at it's finest.
For anyone that lived through the civil rights movement in this country, it as time of hatred and anger. The country was never more divided, until now. Obama has divided this nation for political expediency, he has made no attempt to lead. There is no Obama supporter that will not scream racism if there is any hint of disagreement with the president's policies or direction of the country. Blame, excuses, and hatred through class warfare, the war on women, and countless others devised for the sole purpose of dividing the nation. Division keeps politicians in power and the nation oppressed by a government of the people, but certainly not for the people.
BD Akron - your "intimidation" perspective has already been rejected by the SCOTUS in Buckley v. Valleo (1976).
Personally I think that it's important for the voter to see who is trying to influence a politician through donations. I'd like to see lists published in all major newspapers and on-line for all candidates, regardless of party.
I'd like to see this mandated and enforced for PACs and SuperPACs as a part of sunshine laws also.
"Excited??" Is that how you are feeling??? "Excited????" What the @!$%# is wrong with you???? You bastards just destroyed our entire system of democracy!!!! Thanks to you, we know have to undergo several more election cycles where candidates (on both sides) will have to pander to the 1% in order to win!!! If somebody doesn't overturn Citizens United and reform campaign finance, this country is no better than North Korea, Iran, or any other dictatorship that we castigate for being "undemocratic." Citizens United sounded the death-knell of American democracy; it is up to us to save it.
Oh come on, DB Akron!! When I first saw your posts, I thought you were a moderate Republican. But now, I think otherwise. Republicans used to believe in donor disclosures in return for unlimited donations; not something I would agree to, but still somewhat reasonable. But when you get unlimited donations, you say to hell with disclosures because now you're running the show. Freedom of speech should not involve money; if so, then America was founded as a dictatorship of the wealthy instead of a democratic republic. I don't care if you think that you are being blacklisted; no one person has the right to control an entire election and manipulate candidates because of their wealth and influence. NO ONE. If you and I want whatever remains of American democracy to survive, then Citizens United has to go and campaign finance reform has to happen. Until that happens, we as a nation are no better than the very dictatorships that we oppose.

CITIZENS UNITED OVERTURNED 2012
Izzy Kapp is an old email chain letter that finally made its way into a yahoo message board on June 18, 2012. It is a very old joke told in blue collar plants when affirmative action was a big deal. They (Internet Troll Right Wing Sympathizers) added "Izzy Kapp" to make it seem real but the real joke uses the N word to describe the kid e.g. young black man. I've been working in Union Plants Since the 1990's and I can tell you I've heard them all.
Nice dog Whistle racism there sir.
What!? There wasn't enough similarity between the republicans and nazi Germany already, so they had to start making propaganda films to make it completely obvious?
Ron,
I appreciate the civil response. I do not watch Matthews or Maddox and as stated I have never seen any of Moore's films.
What I'm suggesting is that we engage in a civil dialogue and LISTEN to each other and to what we are saying instead of the "dialogue of the deaf" in which we presently engaged.
F6zman. Good for you, then you would feel right at home in 1933 Germany.
No, I wouldn't get along with the Nazi's or Hitler and I think my exchange with you proves that point eloquently. Name-calling, tsk, tsk, tsk, the last resort of the mentally deficient.

That coming from someone who refers to Rachel Maddow as "Maddox" in the same post. What a hypocrite and an liar. And those are not names I am calling you skipper, they are accurate descriptions of what you really are, a liar and a hypocrite all in just one brief comment YOU made above. Way to go you mental defective!!!
p.s. You are actually the kind of guy who would get along great with a guy like Adolf Hitler.

Such blind hate by all. Let me start with the most evident of the current day, though:
"Citizens United killed our democracy": Really? Citizens United means you can't vote? It means your vote doesn't count? I'll give you all a hint here, people can only buy your vote if YOU ARE WILLING TO SELL IT! Especially today with the internet, where you can look up any claim you want and find the facts behind it as presented by almost any side you choose, money spent on advertizing DOES NOT win elections. This was shown clearly in 2010, when the Dems outspent the Reps across the board, and yet the Reps won big. If Citizens United is buying the election today, does that mean Obama bought his election four years ago? The reality is that Citizens United simply balances on the corporation side what unions have been doing for decades.
"The Republicans are waging a war on women, they hate vaginas": This is about abortion. Dems believe that all women love abortion and thus anyone who opposes abortion is anti-women. The reality, though, is that women are divided between pro-life and pro-choice the same way men are. It's not about a woman's rights, it's about whether the fetus is human or not. If you believe it is, no personal right trumps the right to live. It doesn't matter what rights women have, the fetus' right to life is more important. This is something many women embrace. If, on the other hand, you believe the fetus is just a lump of cells, then the woman hardly needs any rights to justify an abortion. I won't say the government doesn't have the right to regulate medical procedures, but there should be solid grounding to do so.
No, the real war on women here is being waged by the Left. Numerous leftist groups and leaders, including the head of the National Organization of Women, have EXPLICITLY SAID that if a woman isn't pro-choice, she isn't a real woman. That's right, if a woman isn't a leftist, she doesn't count. That's a flat out political WAR on about half of all women in the US.
Now, yes, there's been similar hate from the right, but it's largely in the past at the moment. The reality, for the record, is that 99.999% of conservatives don't dislike Obama because he's black, but because of the policies and methods he supported in the past and has executed in recent history. That's right, imagine that, a conservative disagreeing with a liberal because of POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, not skin color! Wow. What a thought.
Bruce,
Nobody has ever gotten so worked up over a typo. Sheesh.
"Skipper", I love it, just another way of calling me names. Sad.
Why don't you read a book by someone other than Glenn Beck or watch something other than Fox and give your brain some exercise? Judging from your post, you could use it.
And thanks for the opportunity to once again say....
Obama/Biden 2012
Hahahaha. Citizens United ended the days of political accountability. Politicians realize that by getting more money, chances are that they will win. Whether that is true or not is debatable, but that is what politicians believe. Now, if a majority of those campaign funds (or even a large minority) comes from wealthy backers, that essentially forces that candidate to support the positions of the 1% lest his opponent gain their support and launch a blitzkrieg of ads against him. And Obama didn't get his money from undisclosed Super Pacs in 2008; and even though he got money from Wall Street, they've turned on him right now (see the GOP Super-Pac fundraising). And finally, Citizens United DID NOT level the playing field between corporations and unions. Unions used to provide strong support in politics years ago; after the decline of labor unions (only 11% of Americans are unionized), their political impact has shrunken. Corporations, on the other hand, have poured billions into lobbying campaigns that are much stronger than those of unions. Now, corporations practically own the campaign funding race, and you know it. Unions are a shell of their former selves; corporations are at their highest level and are still growing. Who do you think is the underdog????

More creativity is needed when dealing with the Koch heads
To the uninformed, this film is racist. Full of distortions and outright lies. But this is just the sort of thing that some people "need" to hide behind to vote against Obama. I really thought that this country was getting close to post-racial BUT not now. We are more divided than ever and somewhere down the line we are all going to be subject to the negative consequences of racism, oppression of the poor, etc. Only God's intervention will save us!
Funny.. are you talking about the left-wing? Sure sounds like it after playing the race card for five years. After manufacturing lying ads, after replacing the facts with innuendo.
Its about time we can get to see obama for who he really is. The uninformed vote Democrat.
Besides, according to the Democrats there is no god but obama.
More divided? I'll agree with you on that, but it's due to the current administration. Him, Holder and his boys are the ones that are pushing race all over. He is the one oppressing the poor by keeping jobs out of this country and buying votes with welfare.
Liberal politicians are the ones holding this country down. I'm not going to blame liberals in general since the average Democrat doesn't believe in a lot of what Obama does.
Ah...playing the race card. It would seem that YOU are the one introducing race into this. Obama is a terrible leader, race has nothing to do with it.
proudamericanveteran,
Liberals do not worship Politicians, many worship nothing.
Personally, I vote with my mind, not my heart. I know that the heart can be a fool, and "beliefs" should remain out of Politics.
Oh and Michel Moores BS Movies wasn't. Give us a break. The leftist Democrats and liberal have done more to cause racial hatred than any political groupin our time. Al Sharpton is nothing but a race baiter and hates whites. You got the Black Panthers who want to kill babies in the hospital nurseries and intimidates voters going to the polls. This was urged on by their democrat handlers.
And Pissedoffperson The people have woken up and seen Obama for what he really is. We all know about the Backers of the liberal Democrat left like SORO'S who is a COMMIE at heart Has vowed to Destroy freedom in America.
This is just the Beginning of American citizens taking back America, A new civil War has begun and we are going to rid the US of all the upsurpers and money changers who have bled this country dry for the last time.
Every time I hear the word racist you only need to look where its coming from. The only people that use that word today are the racists themselves.
It looks like everyone is forgetting the Republican Congressman that yelled N---R to the applause of several republicans seated with him at one of Pres. Obama's speachs. doesn't anybody remember that ? Racism , alive and well in the Republican party. This man should have been removed from office but got away with a simple "I'm sorry".
Suddenly every right-wing poster is calling everyone else 'racist'. Is this some Rovian reverse tactic? His mantra is to always accuse your opponent of what you are guilty of, just to confuse the issue in people's minds.
OK. I'll admit it. I didn't vote for him, and race played a part - but not the way you might think.
Obama being black was one of the things I liked about his candidacy last time. As a parent, my kids will grow up in a world that will no longer have to ask "will we ever have a black president". That has a real value.
But it was just one factor among many.
I voted for the other guy because I thought Obama didn't have enough experience, and seemed terribly naive. But I wasn't sorry he won.
Unlike 4 years ago, he is a politician who now has a record. People will vote for or against him based on that record.
So I don't think race (although still a factor) will be a deciding factor.
So while many decry the 94% to 0% lead among black people that Obama enjoys or the percentage for Romney among suburban whites.
I think he president stated it very well in 2008.... that there were just as many people who would vote for him as against him solely because of his race.
Oh yeah, anyone that criticizes Obama is a racist, that's a rousing defense.
To old man-3106200. No I don't remember that. I do, however., remember Joe Wilson yelling "you lie" when your messiah said that his health plan would NOT provide money to illegals. And that WAS A LIE!. Care to elaborate on your claim? Or is that too a lie?
Liberals.......
Obama won in 2008 by a large marjority. Is there racism in America today, sure there is. But because Obama is a failure on the economy and people vote against him doesn't mean they are racists.
I mean they voted for Obama in 08, but if they don't this time around they are racists? REALLY?
Come on Libs, you have to do better than that!
Unconventional: "there are just as many people who will vote against..." not true because many MORE voted for than against otherwise he wouldn't be our president. Voters will be smarter this time because now President Obama has a record and it's NOT good.
FreeThinker
Sorry, but many of Obama's were handled like worship services. They are supposed to be pep rallies instead.

Since 1964, it has been the democratic party that is promoting the republican party as racist.
Yet, no penalty for Harry Reid's clearly racist comment
In Real terms, using race for any reason to gain a political advantage is practicing racism.
J.C. are you going to deny that Rush and Fox aren't your messiah? You criticize those who don't agree with you without realizing that you probably get all your information from sources that tell you what you want to hear and you ignore or blast anything that doesn't fit your agenda. Both sides do this, none more than the right.
You're sheep being led to slaughter. Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.
Right wing, racist, white supremacist Republican-T-Party HYPOCRISY...

Why do liberals care about Rush? He isn't in any way, shape or form an elected official for anything. You can believe that he is the one calling the shots for the republican party, but CAN'T back that up. Do you ever wonder why liberal talk radio fails? Why isn't there a Rush for liberals? We know they have tried but they always go broke because no one listens to their crap.
Why hate on Fox news? They are CLEARLY the number 1 cable news channel. They have twice the viewership than MSNBC and more depending on what show it is competing with. You realize many independants and even democrats watch Fox, right?
I get it, you were trying to make a point with the other poster but clearly did it in bad fashion.
Stop hating so much!

Google: January 2009: Paul Ryan Literally Plotted To Sabotage America's Economy
Google: Treasonous Republicans Should Stand Trial for Sabotaging the American Economy
Google: Republicans have Plotted Treason Now (YouTube)
On January 20, 2009 Republican Leaders in Congress literally plotted to sabotage and undermine U.S. Economy during President Obama's Inauguration.
In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy.
The Guest List:
Frank Luntz - GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX),
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX),
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA),
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R),
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R),
Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R),
Sen. John Ensign (NV-R) and
Sen. Bob Corker (TN-R).
Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich
During the four hour meeting:
Paul Ryan and the other senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.
Paul Ryan and these other Republican members of Congress were not simply airing their complaints regarding the other party's political platform for four long hours. No, these Republican Congressional Policymakers, who were elected to do 'the People's work' were literally plotting to sabotage, undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy.
Remember, these same Republican members of Congress supported the very Bush/Cheney policies that caused America to teeter on the brink of the 2nd Great Depression and caused the 2007 US Economic Meltdown.
Here's how they all voted:
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney January 2008 Stimulus
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney bailing out Bear Stern
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney bailing out AIG
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney TARP (sept 2008)
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney TARP (oct 2008)
Not only did these Senior members of Congress plot to destroy the American Economy more than it already was destroyed? They actually carried out their mission:
Every one of these Senior members of Congress have threatened Government Shutdown over things like:
- Funding planned parenthood,
- Raising the Debt Ceiling which, in-and-of-itself, would cause US Economic turmoil.
... oh, and stay current, these same House GOP members of Congress are still, today, threatening a Government Shutdown again over the Debt Ceiling.
Senators: Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, John Ensign, and Bob Corker have:
- Filibustered more Bills (over 300) than any Congress combined in US History.
- Voted NO on every single piece of Legislation brought to the Floor including:
NO on Al Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment,
NO on Lilly Ledbetter,
NO on Fair Pay Act,
NO on Anti-Outsourcing Bill (2010)
Representatives: Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Pete Sessions, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra and Dan Lungren have voted NO on every single piece of Legislation including:
NO on increasing FEMA during natural disasters.
Paul Ryan and these other same failed Congressmen have been on tv constantly chanting the lie that they were guilty of ... the lie that "President Obama's policies undermine the US Economy."

4 MORE YEARS OF OPEN, TRANSPARENT LEADERSHIP/GOVERNANCE!
Transparent??? That's laughable! You silly liberals crack me up!!! It might surprise you silly liberals to know that: a.) not every Republican watches Rush "Pass they Oxycontin" Limbaugh to be spoon fed his dribble, b.) not every Republican watches "Fox News" to get their daily news, c.) ALL Republicans think that the almighty bho is a dismal failure at every level as president (well, probably not that suprising, really...). So you silly liberals enjoy that "Hope and Change", and everyone else who has half of a brain will do everything they can to see that we move "Forward" with a new president!
Winston Churchill: "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."
Okay, first of all, I think we all can admit that race still plays a large role in American society. We are not as tolerant as we think we are. And secondly, while I have grown to get tired of the racist-accusing from my side (I see it as partially justified, but nowadays getting a little stale), I have to admit that there is still racism in the GOP. I mean, take the Reagan stance against welfare. Back in the late 1970s and early 80s, African Americans literally swamped the welfare lines (not being offensive) because social and legal restrictions allowed them to take welfare. As that time coincided with the stagflation of the 1970s and the recession in the early 80s, white blue-collar voters became discontent with the results of the civil rights movement, among them many formerly segregationists. Ronald Reagan chose to exploit this frustration by attacking the "welfare queen," which to those segregationists (and many other white Americans) represented the recently-empowered African American community. It didn't help that a few years earlier Reagan made a speech condemning the Civil Rights Act and promoting states' rights, would essentially restore Jim Crow to his racist throne in the South. Plus the fact that the GOP began to sweep the South and starting taking advantage of this social conservative fury added to the effect.
Again with George Soros??? The guy is only one billionaire; the Republicans have dozens. And even if the majority of wealthy Americans are Democrat, most of them won't even support the Party because they oppose Super-Pacs. That is the reason why GOP Super-Pacs are out-raising the Democrats. And I could easily call the Koch brothers a bunch of Nazi bastards who plans to enslave the 99%; would you appreciate that???
Then I expect that you would join hands with fellow liberals who want Citizens United overturned and campaign reform enacted, right???
OBAMA BIDEN 2012
And who exactly was in charge of House & Senate that wrote the bill? Oh yeah, Pelosi and Reid. If you remember, Bush's approval rating, along with congress approval ratings, fell among Republicans during this time.
Oct 3 2008, 2nd house vote on HR1424, Democrats voted 172 to 63 in favor of the legislation, while Republicans voted 108 to 91 against it. Why didn't you mention that
msnbc.comnbcnews.com? Is it just too easy to pander to the uninformed voters who think the POTUS is a one man show on passing laws?Somebody, please help. Unemployment for black youth doubled and for college graduates quadrupled under Obama so far. Thousands of us are Homeless and Hopeless.
Well Craig, if your God does intervene it'll be hard for you to find a liberal with all their ashes blowing around...
Haha! Craig calls it racist.... LMAO. How the heck can you come up with that when nobody has even seen the movie yet? You and the rest of your racisit friends yeah you libtards I'm calling you the racists... Are a joke.

"Citizens United seeks to turn 'The Hope and The Change' on President Obama."
In related news:
"Hamster seeks to become Great Dane."
To the uniformed:
Mr. Obama's "FORWARD" is nothing more than a continuation of his use of Executive Orders and Liberal Cabinet members changing regulations to get Mr. Obama's agenda on the books.
Gotta laugh at the AP for cherry picking Mr. Obama's statements during their recent interview with him.
Now why did the AP cherry pick Mr. Obama's remarks ? They left out the most important part of the above comments: "If I cannot get Republican support (for my agenda) then I will seek other means."
Same old agenda during Mr. Obama's term in office. When Mr. Obama knew he could not get his agenda passed through using Congressional Procedures, he used Executive Orders and his Liberal Cabinet members to change regulations to get his RADICAL agenda on the books.
Yep, same old Chicago Thug Politics: Top Down.
Work with the Republicans ? Another L** by Mr. Obama.
The Progressives HOPE and CHANGE does not continue.
Romney-Ryan 2012 to take back America from the radicals.
One can find people and examples to make a movie to push almost anything. Such propaganda films do not really prove anything. But there is no getting away from some of the big numbers and promises.
To help pass the stimulus Obama's administration produced a report that predicted that if the stimulus were passed unemployment would not exceed 8%. The report also provided an estimate as to how unemployment would be without the stimulus. According to the charts in that report actual unemployment has been a little worse than if the stimulus were never passed. The President called the stimulus a spending bill. The idea is that more spending by the federal government adds more cash to the economy. More money increases demand and jobs are created to meet the new demand. More jobs causes more money to flow in the economy that causes demand to further increase. The problem is that with so much of our goods and services coming from other countries the money just leaks out and we are left with the debt. The stimulus may have done good for some but it did not solve the unemployment problem and it did not spark the economy enough to turn it around. The stimulus was a gamble that did not pay off as expected.
Obama gave speeches concerning how bad deficit spending was. As he was campaigning for President he vowed to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. To keep his promise the 2012 federal deficit cannot exceed 229.27 billion dollars and according to the President's own White House, the President's promise id going to miss by almost a trillion dollars. I estimate that this additional trillion dollars that the federal government is having to borrow is going to end up costing the tax payers more than 9 trillion dollars before it is all payed back in 170 years. The President has mentioned paying down the debt but he has never issued a comprehensive plan to do so. The tax payers have a right to know how much all this federal borrowing is going to end up costing them.
Then there are promises like closing GITMO within one year of his becoming President. The President was so adamant that it was going to happen but GITMO is still open. Making promises is easy. Keeping them can be more difficult even if you are the President of the United States of America. The President has a tendency to say things that sound good but turn out to be just bs. He has been learning. President Obama seems to be making far fewer promises than he did four years ago at this time. The poor President is having to deal with reality.

Craig Browne " I really thought that this country was getting close to post-racial BUT not now"
Agreed - but it's because lots of people fell for Obama's rhetoric about 'drawing people together', but he has been the most divisive President in recent history, pitting groups pf people against each other along the lines of race, gender, labor, ethnicity and income.
The old saying that applies is "Fooled once - shame on them, but fooled twice - shame on YOU"
Now we are seeing what the GOP backers really are!! Enlightening isnt it!! Their convention is honoring them, All hail the GOP!!!
Ya think? Heil, Herr Mitt is more like it than All hail the GOP-
Perhaps it is Hell with the GOP.
GOP stand for Greed, Opportunistic & Power. It's ain't Lincoln or Grand Old Pop party anymore
Right on POP! All we need is this dishonest movie from one of the Whitewater hitmen. We all know how that worked out: millions of taxpayer dollars spent for nothing. Well, what's new? We all know how mean-spirited the The Repuglics are.
Silly liberals!!! :)
Have you even seen the movie (which isn't even out yet) or any of the clips? I am guessing no you have not!
From the clips I have seen on it, it interviews people who are self identified as democrats or independants who voted for Obama in 08, but will not vote for him this time around and they explain why.
WOW, that is some crazy racist stuff right there!!!! You silly liberals are funny today!
ahhhh
but mike moores films are filled with truth huh?????

Liberal is not a bad word in my mind! But Conservatives are a weird bunch!
Yes all hail the GOP -- clean out the empty suit and his cow out of the WH, he has flaunted his dislike of America and the taxpayer and has divided this country worse than I could EVER imagine. So you keep hating you left wing racists that's EXACTLY want he wants and expects from you.
James,
You know that the idiots that made this movie purposefully went out and found those most disillusioned right? These small number of people do not make up the entirety of the Democratic party. This movie is nothing short of a smut film that is exploiting the hard times those people have fallen under to influence people not to vote in the GE.
This is voter suppression 101 and even a war tactic, try to break your opponents spirit so they become apathetic. Smart people who know that the movie is trying to manipulate them will see through it. Those not quick enough to catch that they are trying to be manipulated will either be affected by it or have someone tell them what is really going on.
These types of movies, including M. Moore's, are subjective not factual in the sense of what a fact really is. They may be true but at the same time the people in these videos represent only themselves not an entire subsection of a economical class or political group. People that do not have that understanding will reap what they sow.
The trolls are at it again. Nasty! Maybe one day we can have a discussion of facts......not BS. But what really caught my eye was when I read this.
"Now, Bossie says, the legal gloves are off: He can make whatever film he wants, spend as much as he can raise to influence the election (and not tell anybody where the money comes from) and not worry about the Federal Election Commission coming after him."
Let me get this straight. If Moore could make his movies without election commission involvement, what exactly is Bossie saying here? It's all about the money and his donors as I see it, as is this election. Republicans want total control! How can this be good for the country? We are now witnessing "The Age of Ignorance".
Whether you are a grandparent, parent or young adult, the upcoming election portends unprecedented implications for the future of America. For a short time 2016: Obama's America is now showing in communities across America. It would be a great injustice for any American to go to the polls this fall without being fully informed!
This film provides the requisite “unbiased factual information” necessary to make an informed decision in November. If you or anyone you know is open minded, willing to listen to reason and/or sitting on the fence, I implore you to take them along on this epic journey into the mind of our commander and chief! No American should be caught hiding behind ignorance or unjust bias in this all important election!
Those who believe the upcoming election is somehow about political differences between Democrats vs. Republicans are the saddest of creatures serving only as pawns in a cleverly cloaked war of ideologies.
In the face of an overwhelming abundance of new information, it is now evident Obama is not a true American Democrat, but rather a closet Marxist whose dangerous anti-American and anti-colonialism agenda has metastasized into a pathological cancer on our society.
In the face of this evidence an every growing segment of principled insiders within the democratic party now believe they must abandon Obama's candidacy and return to fight another day when the once proud Democratic party can submit a candidate who is more willing to uphold traditional American values rather than to function as an architect of policies that will ultimately destroy the country from within.
I would close with one more frighten, but absolutely factual conversation I had late this spring with an officer, who after retiring from the US Army, now serves on a National Security think tank. Essentially, this officer pointed out that a recently revised United States Army Military Police training manual outlining Civil Disturbance Operations has been updated to describe how military assets would be used to handle riots, confiscate firearms, and kill Americans during mass civil unrest.
This massive civil unrest is anticipated to occur as early 2013 in direct response to a potential US economic collapse created as a by-product of Obama’s reckless fiscal policy and massive deficit spending. He also pointed out that Department of Homeland Security recently purchased 450 million rounds of .40 caliber hollow-point ammunition in view of the fact an armed uprising is likely in a nation where significant portion of the population is armed. They also believe the impact of Obama’s carefully concealed agenda was being played out in the issuance of his March 16, 2012 Executive Order eviscerating any due process or judicial oversight for any action by the Government deemed to be in the interest of "national security”
The term surreal has been used to describe many events in life, but never has the term been more effectively applied to any experience in my lifetime than to describe the reality of Barack Obama’s presidency.
The beast (666) is upon us, FOX news F=6, O (15th letter)1+5=6, X (24th letter)2+4=6. Revelations tells us the beast has 7 heads and 10 horns and 10 crowns which equal 27. If Romney iselected he will be the 27thelected Republican president. (Remember the Democrat- Republicans and the Whig Parties both turned into the Republican Party). FOX (Murdock) also owns 27 television stations in the USA. Revelation 13.1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Hosea 4:6 God Says, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget
thy children. FOX is the Blasphemer and you if believe its lies, you allow it to destroy your knowledge. God says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Bain Capital (Romney’s Baby) owns Clear Channel which owns 866 radio stations and Premiere Radio Networks, a national radio network that serves nearly 5,800 radio station affiliates and has over 213 million weekly listeners. Programs include the Rush Limbaugh Show, Glenn Beck and the Sean Hannity Show (Revelation 13:11 and he spake as a dragon)
Both FOX (Murdock = 1st beast) and Bain (2nd beast) work together.Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound washealed. [13:13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, [13:14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. [13:15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. [13:16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [13:17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Ezekiel 33:7, So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
We as knowledgeable Christians cannot let the beast in, we must resist his lies, gain knowledge and give warning.

Why,
I do not entirely trust Fox as much as the next Centrist/Democrat however I think your post is going a bit too far. Plus all the numbers stuff is BS. There are billions of ways to get 666 from any number of random incoherent jumbling of letters/numbers.
A good example of how stupid the idea of doing that is can be seen in a season 4 episode of Lexx entitled Moss, I think.
Dan,
Your dramatic rendition of cognitive understanding and communication may impress those with single or double IQs, but provokes only laughter from the rest of us!
It's pretty funny how all the RETHUGS are fawning over the pompous Ann Romney, and the over-rated Christie. Ann (YOU PEOPLE) thinks she's put one over on America in a totally PHONY speech. Only to be followed by the biggest empty suit politician we have seen since Pres Garfield. These are the worst group of right-wing so-called leaders since........Oh, buschcheney!!!!

Take your sons, take your daughters. take your neighbors, take your fathers, but most of all, take your libtard handouter friends to see this fine movie that attempts to show you what the mainstream media doesn't want you to know.
A vision of Obama's America can be seen offscreen by checking out the fine crime statistics in his hometown Chicago this weekend. The town that spawned and embraces the POS potus's version of dirty politics shows how well that ideology works for America.
This movie is just another domino falling on the path to the landslide that is ROMNEY/RYAN/MANDATE in the election this November.
Don't Miss It Libtards/turds.
And now we have "Hope and Change" The next domino. Don't you just love it

Jerry you sound like a very bitter and ignorant individual.
You really should seek professional help and focus on things you can control, because at this point I find you to pathetic to even ridicule.
Sandy - I haven't seen the movie. What is presented in the movie that is not correct? Or are you just listening to Soros?
by using the word libtard you prove your just a right wing idiot. I'd rather be a liberal than a useless waste of space conservative. CONSERVATISM IS EVIL. YEs I said it. Conservatism prevents countries and societies from moving forward it keeps them chained to useless traditions and does nothing to help society move forward, thus any conservative is a waste of oxygen and space.
Jerry40yeardipsh!t is a lying sack of garbage.
American,
of course he is. That is what the Tea Party has done to the entire GOP, turned them into bitter, hateful, people that are unrelentingly incessant on parroting conspiracy theories. By any means necessary, make Obama a one term President. Those were the very words that came out of Mitch McConnel's mouth the day Obama was inaugurated.
Since then we have seen every type of attack in the book, and a few new ones, to try and drag the perception of Obama into the mud. And a lot of good they have done, no one believes them. Obama is still way more likable then Mitt by the polls and all they have done is cause the corrosion of their party.
However that will not make them stop. To them Obama is literally the Antichrist. So long as even one TP Republican with money remains these attacks will keep coming because that is how fanatic they are in their hate for Obama. The ironic thing is their Knight in Shining Armor Mitt is cut from almost exactly the same cloth as Obama is in his policies.
After the convention bumps have subsided we will get a clearer picture of what the real score is. I am not worried about out spending because there are not enough lemmings in this country for their ads to work on. All they serve is to whip Republicans up into a frenzy. Everyone else with a level head on their shoulders will take the ads with a grain of salt knowing that most of them are filled with inaccuracies or even outright lies that have been debunked tens of times.
If they do not know this they will eventually as fact checking of these ads becomes more important (and it will as we get closer to the election). IMO the more dirt the R's throw the more sticks to themselves. Come election time the GOP is going to be so covered in mud you might mistake them for a cow pie from Moozilla (Godzilla reference for those that won't catch it).
Jerry needs to crawl back under the racist rock from which he came. There had been crime in America, and in Chicogo waaaaaay before this president took office. The biggest criminals were bush/cheney!! Now, jerryrethug want to take us back to the good ol'days of 2 unfunded was, stock market crashes, housing bubble bursts, auto industry crash, and so-on. Then, to compare the First Lady to a chimp just shows the racist nature of his mentality. This first Lady has more CLASS, BEAUTY, and HUMANITY, then all the rethug first ladies COMBINED.

23. Kelcy Warren is worth $2.3 billion and he has given $250,000 to super PACs this year.
The thing that these billionaires love most about Citizens United it is that it allows them to operate in total darkness. The American people couldn’t fight back because the billionaires were giving their money anonymously. This same cloak of invisibility is what made ALEC so effective for years. The conservative billionaire cabal works best in private, behind closed doors, far away from curious eyes.
man you need help, obama has torn this country apart, he will tell any lie he can to get people like you to vote for him.obama doned more for illegals then he has done for the american people. i feel sorry for you
You guys are all pretty much morons. You honestly believe that the President of the United States is responsible for everything that happens in this country? You all want to blame Bush for the financial disaster we are in then you all want to blame Obama for the financial disaster we are in.
The power of the purse lies with Congress. The Executive Branch of government is responsible for enforcing the laws. The decisions that an administration makes are collective with the entire US Congress. These decisions have longer economic impacts rather than short ones. The mess we are in today is more from Reagan than Bush or Obama. Economic cycles at a minimum usually take seven years to go from boom to bust. When the housing market began imploding, the long term effect will take over a decade to heal. (Remember that it was still senator Obama when this happened and I still have yet to find an executive order of President Bush directing the financial demise).
The movie they are making is clearly stated without any confusion that the intention of the movie is to discredit the current administration. Sounds fair and balanced to me.
If I think I heard it right I'm hearing anybody who votes against Obama is a racist. Is that because he has a different color skin so you must vote for him because he is, I think anybody the votes for him under those conditions is a racist. Vote for the man because you believe in his policies ;-} not his color. Me I think he should be impeached.
Big Fool............................. aren't you the libtard who tried to get a payday loan on your welfare check by pledging your food stamps as collateral?

Giving an illegal order to the law enforcement agencies to not uphold all the laws of the land. Right or wrong they must be upheld, he cannot give an order otherwise. Obama saved me from nothing, he cost my wife her job, hard work saved me, that is all. I'm also from the South side of Chicago!

And if he lived in the country he's trying to create, he would be arrested and jailed.
Let's all see the movie!
Jerry - have a little respect and take down that vulgar photo. You are a political buffoon driven by hate and that photo proves it.
Jerry, your avatar simply proves you are a racist hater and therefore anything you say will be taken with a slight grain of salt...
Typical Libtard. I have seen you libturds refer to Romney as the scarecrow, cracker, alien, robot, etc., etc. The photo is what it is. Why in the world would the photos show hate or possibly be as vulgar or direspectful as your words are.
So I must conclude, Bite me upset.
That's funny Jerry, I haven't heard one of those words used to describe Romney... You just made them all up.
Your photo was purposely chosen to represent your inside feelings... now we all know that you are a racist baiter...
Jerry - who took the picture for you? You are next to the First Lady right?
I'm not sure? Which one is the first lady?
The avatar proves nothing except in the hypocritical irrational mind of a libtard/turd.
And Ray, you are either lying about the words used to describe Romney or this is your first day as a poster.
Grow up Jerry. You are a big part of what's wrong with the republican party these days.
Right back atcha upset.
Raise your hand if you saw...

big papa,
There is no winning with the people running for President! There is only Hope we can hold on until someone comes along that will lead us, and the Government for the people.
Does the GOP stand for anything, besides being "Anti-Obama"?
And there it is.........
yes... tax cuts for the rich;
deregulation for those who pillage the Earth of resources;
the freedom to shoot each other whenever they want, at any venue;
keeping minorities, gays and women down;
and don't forget... (what would we be without it?)... WAR!
bill bob philly
Its all yours in 4 years and 3 months.
Because NO ONE wants Biden.
Big Boob Philly...............................Get a job libtard/turd.
And Ignore is derived from Ignorance. It's how you got there.
Not a single piece of legislation has been presented to cut taxes. A flat tax would increase taxes on the rich and the Democrats said no. All other proposals were for leaving it where Pelosi/Reid said it should stay. That's not a "cut".
Again, you're just making slanderous accusations with absolutely no proof. Deregulation came in the form of the repeal of Glass-Steagall.
What??? You sound like you're getting foaming-at-the-mouth mad and completely irrational with statements like that.
Herman Cain, Powell, Rice, black conservatives, women conservatives (Palin, Rice again, Christie, "Mrs Romney never worked a day in her life and shouldn't have an economic opinion"), Log Cabin Republicans overturning DADT and Obama saying "Now is not the time", etc, etc, etc. We all know where the hate and intolerance is coming from. Usually the bigots don't realize they are bigots because they honestly believe in their stereotypes against entire groups of people.
Do you know which wars were started with US involvement with a Republican president prior to 1991? Try googling it.
Do you know which economic crises were started by Dems? Uhhhh... none. Why? Because the policies which were undertaken to actually create the crisis, were instilled by the GOP.
Now, how many Republican Presidents ever did anything for anyone, except for their own kind (meaning: Business)? Businesses are not allowed to vote. So why allow them to donate huge sums of money to Rove's 501c3? How much money is coming into the 501c3 groups from overseas? Can you name one idea from the GOP which DOES NOT have lowering or eliminating taxes for the wealthy within it?
We need a 2-party system and one which can enter into sane, intelligent debate over issues. We NEED both Liberals and Conservatives. We need the balance. We DO NOT need one side wishing to crawl back into their mother's wombs. Many Conservatives wish to return to the old days. Many Conservatives enjoy the disparity of incomes in the US and the gap twixt the rich and poor getting wider and wider. Many Conservatives seemingly don't give a hoot about the poor, the sick, or the religious. They only care about the power and the money which comes with it.
The Dems are not saints and never claim to be righteous. They/we only wish for fairness to exist and majority rule. We are a Democratic Republic. Let's act like the best democracy on the face of the Earth. Until now, we have failed miserably in that aim.
Finally, if you hate... you lose. Hate comes from fear and fear is incredibly destructive. Desperation comes from fear and it appears Romney is very desperate.
Throwing insults and vitriol is not going to win anyone points. Having more money to throw at the media in trashing the other guy is not the way to win. Limiting those who can vote, even though they may be citizens and are registered to vote, is not acting like a patriotic American. Allow every citizen the ability to register and vote, and if you win... so be it. If you lose... so be it. Anything else is trashing the Constitution and all it stands for.
Anger, cheating and violence will not do anything but produce a dictatorship. Do you really want that to occur?
(A political parody song by Bruce-1628250, sung to the tune of "I Wish I Were an Oscar Mayer Wiener!")
The article should label it Hope and Change the Republican Propaganda.
Beyond that, the article is wrong saying "Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl". Her 1936 Olympic film was used for propaganda which is not the same thing.
Isn't the entire Republican platform propaganda?
"tax cuts pay for themselves", "Deficits don't matter", "Get the government out of our lives". How are these foundations of conservatism NOT propaganda?
Get a job libtards.
deficets dont matter is obamas motto
The fact is the NAZI's were very good at using films for propaganda, and the Republicans are quite obviously taking a lesson out of the Nazi Playbook to use for their own propaganda purposes.
Thankfully, we will never find out, because Romney is a loser!
Dont mess: That is cheney you are quoting. Just thought you would like to know.
If you liberals want to see how your ideas work go live in California for a year. It's broke, broken and it USED to be the #4 economy in the world. There's your sign morons.
Jerry40yeardemocrat, you are suspended for a week for violating rule # 1 of the Code of Honor.

Google: January 2009: Paul Ryan Literally Plotted To Sabotage America's Economy
Google: Treasonous Republicans Should Stand Trial for Sabotaging the American Economy
Google: Republicans have Plotted Treason Now (YouTube)
On January 20, 2009 Republican Leaders in Congress literally plotted to sabotage and undermine U.S. Economy during President Obama's Inauguration.
In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy.
The Guest List:
Frank Luntz - GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX),
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX),
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA),
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R),
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R),
Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R),
Sen. John Ensign (NV-R) and
Sen. Bob Corker (TN-R).
Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich
During the four hour meeting:
Paul Ryan and the other senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.
Paul Ryan and these other Republican members of Congress were not simply airing their complaints regarding the other party's political platform for four long hours. No, these Republican Congressional Policymakers, who were elected to do 'the People's work' were literally plotting to sabotage, undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy.
Remember, these same Republican members of Congress supported the very Bush/Cheney policies that caused America to teeter on the brink of the 2nd Great Depression and caused the 2007 US Economic Meltdown.
Here's how they all voted:
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney January 2008 Stimulus
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney bailing out Bear Stern
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney bailing out AIG
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney TARP (sept 2008)
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney TARP (oct 2008)
Not only did these Senior members of Congress plot to destroy the American Economy more than it already was destroyed? They actually carried out their mission:
Every one of these Senior members of Congress have threatened Government Shutdown over things like:
- Funding planned parenthood,
- Raising the Debt Ceiling which, in-and-of-itself, would cause US Economic turmoil.
... oh, and stay current, these same House GOP members of Congress are still, today, threatening a Government Shutdown again over the Debt Ceiling.
Senators: Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, John Ensign, and Bob Corker have:
- Filibustered more Bills (over 300) than any Congress combined in US History.
- Voted NO on every single piece of Legislation brought to the Floor including:
NO on Al Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment,
NO on Lilly Ledbetter,
NO on Fair Pay Act,
NO on Anti-Outsourcing Bill (2010)
Representatives: Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Pete Sessions, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra and Dan Lungren have voted NO on every single piece of Legislation including:
NO on increasing FEMA during natural disasters.
Paul Ryan and these other same failed Congressmen have been on tv constantly chanting the lie that they were guilty of ... the lie that "President Obama's policies undermine the US Economy."
"Does the GOP stand for anything, besides being "Anti-Obama"?"
Yes - They stand for everything that represents a vision of America that is not Obama's vision. A vision that is flawed, failed and even sometimes bad but that at least promises a future. Obama's vision only allows room for a transformation along his personal ideals, a vision where all people are forced into equality and that equality is measured by the state. A vision where the president can do what he wants so long as it "gets something done". A nation where we simply print money to pay for increasing debts, where we demonize anyone who stands in your way because in Obama's America difference will not be tolerated and those who rock the boat will be dealt with Chicago style and unlike a Chicago style Hot Dog which is pretty tasty Chicago style politics is nothing short of poison.
But keep telling yourself this is a popularity contest that any disagreement with Obama is about the man himself and not his failed policies. And if he wins a second term the victory will be a popularity contest and then, when he no longer has to look to an election lets see how much of his popularity remains.
Romney is not great for America but Obama is a Greek Tragedy for America.
Qualifications for the Office of President
Age and Citizenship requirements - US Constitution, Article II, Section 1
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
Term limit amendment - US Constitution, Amendment XXII, Section 1 – ratified February 27, 1951
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.
sorry libs but reading the qualifications I do not see TAX RETURNS as a requirement.. Im willing to go out and say if Romney releases 20 years of tax returns not one democrat on this blog would vote for him... The people that will decide this election is the independents and they do not care about tax returns, birth certificates, college transcripts so all this non sense is just talking points to rile your base.... bla bla bla
Hope & change has become deflect and defame.
No requirement for honesty either, so I guess Romney is still in the running for now.
What does it say about income evasion? Does that qualify you for president? Show the tax returns or we don't believe you are honest! Simply but true!
MSNBC You are lying again!!!! The Tarp bailout wasn't signed till after Obama took office. You lying dirtbag, Scum SH#T. Why do you always have to tell lies to the people are you that desparite.
I call for what ever companies with commercials with NBC to cancel them. Why would you want to do business with a News organization that knowingly lies.
The TARP bill was signed on October 2008, before the election even took place...

@leftist...Are you being disingenuous are just plain ignorant? TARP was signed into law by Bush. Even a 10 year old kid knows that.
Leftisreporting clearly only gets his "news" from Faux. THE network for the terminally misinformed.
Rosso -
True, but half of it was reserved for Obama's use when he became president. Besides, most of TARP has been repaid, especially the portion that was doled out under Bush.
Mr. Obama wanted and approved of the TARP.
On the TARP:
Obama=Bush
Citizens United are such losers !!!! A bunch of angry white men who lose sleep at night because of the big bad black man in the "white" house. All you have going for you is your money and money will not buy you the "white" house. Just think what positive things Citizens United could have done with the money being wasted on attacking President Obama with the smear campaigns (Secret: those who you are trying to reach with the smear tactics are not buying the craziness you are paying big bucks for). Why don't you do as your name implies: UNITE !!!!
...and Obama hasn't engaged in smear? Oh please. Another race baiter. He's a terrible president who is leading this country down the toilet. That's enough reason to vote for "anybody but Obama".
LB-3426829 -- Because I mention black/white.....why does it have to be "race baiting"....why can't it just be the "TRUTH"......??????? If it were not because of the fact that the GOP/Tea Party planned and plotted against this Administration's success (e.g., Pres. Obama) from DAY ONE, we would not be in the position we are in today. You can say what you want....but success is either black or white, it is there for us all. Say what you want but Pres. Obama is not out there day after day telling bold-face, out and out lies!
"NEITHER" not "either"
We HOPE Obama is not in office too much longer as we were short CHANGEd.
Obviously, the person who posted this is another completely misinformed fox news viewer. President Bush signed the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) into law. Look it up. As for the rest of your anger and English composition problems, I'll just say good luck to you.
A 60 year old comment by a previous washington inside, If the Republicans quit lying on the Democrates, they promise to quit telling the truth on the Republicans.
How can you in good conscious want a man that is a liar, we know he stole from workers by taking their Retirement funds and putting them out of work.
Your organization should be ashamed. But I guess you do not know the meaning of that word.
You've obviously been drinking the cool aid so long you believe their lies. Ashamed...you should be ashamed. He's successful, you're not, and your envy is showing through.
Myth Romney's pillaging of the middle class does not qualify him for the Presidency. In fact, it should dis-qualify him for it.
Willard is the last thing this recovering nation needs right now.
Obama and his justice department has already stiffarmed the banks for money for allegedly making improper loans to minorities. The banks knowing that Eric Holder is black and has the power to shut them down complied rather than spend millions in litigation even though they were innocent. The Obama administration sues states for political motivated reasons, Arizona and Alabama and Utah who want to enforce existing immigration laws. Obama's administration has spit in the face of the constitution and has chosen minorities over others for payments gained by Holders biased lawsuits. If the news media had any integrity Holder would be impeached and Obama would be 15 pts behind in the polls. NBC is part of the Obama campaign.
For those who still argue dems and repubs and think either of those 2 parties will give voters any relief--wise up and get a life. How long have these 2 parties run this country and where have we gone except down (you do realize I am talking about the working middle class). The old saying has never been more true "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer." American workers have continued to toil even harder to keep these rich bastards getting richer and then they actually think some politician is going to help them out of this hole we are in. This is all you need to know----the rich politicians running this country don't care about us. They never have and they never will. Doesn't matter if the are dems or repubs---them and their friends continue to get rich and we continue to be the people making them rich. Just like the kings and their serfs in early England and the Czars and their slaves in Russia and the ruling class in China and the poor working class. I would sure hate to head into communism but I sure hate socialism. Get rid of all the jerks and put the federal government back in its place. Let the states run themselves.
What, no Feisty, Beverly, Ron? Where are those liberal mouthpieces? Notice their courage disappears when the topic comes from the other side. I'm disappointed!
Like you tossing insults and accusations around behind a fake name is some kind of courage. Typical.
Did the people who went out to see this D'Souza movie google him before going to see his propaganda flick? That quack is as loony as they come. His arguments are disingenuous and logically flawed.
"That quack is as loony as they come. His arguments are disingenuous and logically flawed."
Then he must be a libtard. I would have never thought a libtard/turd had made this movie.
Jerry - Please save it for hate radio.
And Michael Moor isn't a 'quack' and loony?
like the king of liars..mike moore????
You have two clear choices this election. If you are a government leach vote for the welfare president. If you are a hard working American who needs a job vote for the job creators.
Everything Obama claims about Romney's past including his time at Bain Capital is a fairy tale designed to propagandize the public into thinking he's something he's not.
Obama has no record to run on in 2012, so once again he relies on racism, polarizing tactics and lies to keep the focus off of his record. Smart voters will not fall for his lies.
Dear Mr President. Please run on all the wonderful things you have done for our economy. Run on Obamacare. Run on the fact you are taking 700 billion dollars from medicare to fund Obamacare, Run on 15% unemployment. Run on the failed 800 billion dollar stimulus, Run on 47 million people on food stamps, Run on bankrupt government funded green companies, Run on a 5 trillion dollar debt. Run on the failure to close the borders. Run on llegals released by thefeds that committed 19 murders, 142 sex crimes. Run on Fast and Furious, Run on the National Security leaks coming from your administration, Run on $4.00 a gallon gas.
Obamas new campaign slogan. Forget that hopey changie crap its now " Gloom and Doom"
Hope your head doesn't explode if he's re-elected in November.
And you better get a job if he isn't.
I know you're a racist so I won't even respond. I've seen most of your posts here and I wonder how you see properly with that white sheet covering your head.
Try some fact checking! You are a little uninformed!
The decision is pretty easy to make when you look at all the facts.
Top ten reasons I will never vote for Republicans (much less vote for Romney) to the office of the Presidency.
1. Failure on 911 and the lies given as the official story. Every year little bits of facts are being forged as to the real story and every year it looks more like a coup by the government to facilitate removing our freedoms and reasoning to spend from 400 billion in 98 to over 860 billion in 2010 - money that went to the 1% owners of the war machine.
2.The complete and utter proliferation of changing state and local laws as written by membership companies of ALEC - most were for privatization of public goods and services under the auspices that it would save money....it hasn't.
3. Their preoccupation of forcing Religious morals on society and fighting costly political battles again and again Roe vs Wade.
4. Their deliberate attempts to help those who need it the least through tax cuts to the highest earners all in the name of trickle down.
5. Continued support of big oil at the expense of developing industries.
6. Complete disregard for the environment to induce even higher profits - Fracking companies do not have to abide by the Clean water and air act, cause it would cost too much. Allowing private companies to ruin BLM land.
7.Republicans signing the Grover no tax increase pledge.
8. Claiming Fiscal Conservatism - They absolutely say one thing and do the opposite.
9. Global Terrorism - which really is Global Domination. The proliferation of world-wide military installations. In 1998 there were 470 bases in 63 countries with 1.3 million staff and an operating budget of 470 billion In 2011 there are over 900 bases in over 130 countries with over 2.5 million in staff at a budget of 800 billion per year.
If you look at a world map....these bases just happen to consistently be near large natural resources whether water, mineral or oil.
These bases are the leading cause for us to lend "Foreign Aid" - because without the payoff to the host country they would not allow it. Foreign aid is not foreign aid - it's rent due.
We do not need 900 or more military installations across the globe; unless of course the Republican desire is to rule the world.
10. They have done NOTHING to HELP America out of this depression I offer the following
44 Bills..........on Abortion
99 Bills..........on Religion
71 Bills .........on Family Relationships
36 Bills..........on Marriage
67 Bills..........on Firearms/Gun Control
522 Bills........on Lowering Corporate Tax
445 Bills........on Government Investigations
0 Bills………...on Jobs!!!!
'Billionaires United' are now free to spend anything, say anything, and do anything, to whip up as much hatred in the public as they themselves feel toward anything that doesn't benefit its wealthy patrons. The goal is control, not consensus or compromise that Americans expect of their politicians. Only those who pony up the tens of millions of dollars for these projects will be considered 'real Americans'.
Right on darrall! Have you noticed you never hear the term log-rolling anymore. Our government was built on checks and balances and compromise, but it sounds like most of these conservatives never got out of kindergarten they are so ignorant. They have no conception of how our government is supposed to work, and why it is not working now.
So America wants to give the Republicans a shot at reviving the same economy they tanked in 2008? In addition, they provided NO help to the current president to fix the situation they caused in the first place.
I swear we Americans are dumber than I tell people.
Wasn't both houses of Congress Democrat in 2008?
No I think Americans would like to give a different person a shot because obviously the fool in the white house now doesn't have a clue as to what he is doing. Is the good choice obama? Definitely not. He has had his 4 years and done nothing but make things worse. Is it Romney? Probably not. Is it Paul? Probably more of a shot than either of the other 2 idiots. To be perfectly honest none of these men will help out with too much but one of them is a very dangerous man who supersedes and goes around the Constitution whenever he pleases and he needs to go. I don't believe the US can stand another 4 years of this man because he really has no conscience or morals from what I have seen. He has a wife who hates the US but will gladly spend the taxpayers money and he believes if he wants something he can just make an executive order that can make it come true. We don't need that. Someone who does nothing is much better than someone that is a danger to the United States.
Hey bobm, or should I call you whit11, or...? Even with multiple accounts your misspelled drivel gives you away.
Sorry darrall------I have one account and don't need to hide behind others. And what part of my supposed misspelled drivel do you speak of?????? Actually you really say nothing of merit and perhaps you are the holder of multiple accounts otherwise you are just another person not smart enough to react or reply on your own so you just throw out insults hoping it might make you look like you have some sort of thoughts of your own. Nice try.
Delusional Jerry again completely forgets the facts. Yes they held both the house and the senate, but then one must consider the record number of filibusters by GOP lawmakers keeping needed legislation from even making it to a vote. Then after they filibustered it all, they actually blame democrats for not passing the things they prevented from even being voted on.
ZZing! Zzyn!
Sometimes when I hear the FOX illiterate viewers call the President of the United States a fool, it begs the question, how did the most uneducated viewers in the United States describe George Bush?
Now that would be very interesting...
Bossie is a simple liar. His organization is really Corporations United--and it denigrates the rights of citizens (real persons) to have the leading voice over our political process. What we need is
A Simple Amendment
"With respect to federal elections, Congress shall ban contributions or expenditures by corporations, associations and non-citizens and may limit the amount contributed or expended by citizens. State legislatures may do so with respect to state and local elections."
When I voted in 2008, I voted for the Alternative not the Almighty. Since then, I realized that it would take the ALMIGHTY to dig us out of this MESS that George Bush left us in.
Now I am faced with a similar dilema. The almighty isn't running. No one man can fix the economy. There is no democratic or republican solution. So what do I do. Which one do I TRUST. Which one is more transparent.
My vote is not for sale. No amount of money can influence it. So, I continue to question myself. Who do I give the benefit of the doubt to? If both men were standing in front of me asking for their trust, which one is more TRUSTWORTHY!!! Which one would stare me in the eye and which one will look away !!!
I am so tired of hearing about Romney's tax returns.
With all that Oblamo is about, do you not think that he has had the IRS thoroughly scrutinize those returns looking for something to smear on Romney?
AND WHY ARE YOU MORE CONCERNED WITH WHAT ROMNEY DID WITH THE MONEY HE EARNED THAN WHAT OBLAMO IS DOING WITH OUR (LEAST US THAT WORK & PAY TAXES) MONEY.
If he truly accomplished anything, he would run on that & not on his defect and blame campaign.
He has made the US a laughingstock of the world.
OBLAMO is the biggest racist of all, bet Moochelle will now be ashamed of her country again.
Tell me why he won't release the fact that he got money for college as a foreign student? Why is all his records, transcripts sealed? AND YET HE IS THE ONE SAYING IF YOU RUN FOR PREZ YOUR LIFE IS A OPEN BOOK.
Well Oblamo, open yours then.
PUT UP OR SHUT UP, PERSONALLY I THINK THE COUNTRY IS GOING TO SHUT YOU UP IN NOVEMBER.
Bainers and Tax-returners are much more lame and stupid than they thought Birthers were.
"I am so tired of hearing about Romney's tax returns.
I'm sure you not tired of hearing all that birther stuff either. You guys would have been picketing if Obama failed to release his tax returns in 2008. I guess Romney is special huh?
You can tell where your information comes from. It is the same thing from so many people without one person fact checking just repeating, repeating, repeating hate radio/tv. The language used in your post is just sad! Do you think we would vote for anyone you would recommend with that type of a post!
Hopefully, I think the women of this country and the Hispanics will simple vote all the rich white forked-tongued GOPs out of office.
The Republican supporters on these blogs prove the old adage true, because they offer nothing of substance but simple name-calling and nasty comments that have no factual basis. This is why they almost never provide links to their sources, because their sources are dubious Talking Points from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck or whatever liar who does their thinking for them.
As the old saying goes,
And the GOP/Conservative/Republican/TeaBaggers on these blogs have fallen for the lies of the Party of Romney/Ryan.
The little people are giving their money to Obama and 44% of his money is coming from women.
I'll vote for Romney if and only if (iff) he can show me that he paid more taxes than I did.
He paid 6.2 million - how much did you pay?
If you can't see then difference between birthers and people that want to see tax returns of a candidate, like every candidate over has in recent history including Romney's dad who argued we should see more years, because a couple could be a fluke or purposely done for the election, then my friend you have the IQ of an money.
Personally, I wouldn't normally care so much, but he does want to lower the tax rate for his income level, because they are too high for the "job creators". What is to high, shouldn't we see what to high is?
i havn't heard or seen any dem. in office do anything for the american people. all i heard or seen is them cutting people down who don't think obama the greatest. obama has done nothing for america, im sorry obama good at spending the taxpayers money on things that he thanks will help this country, but everything he does has backfired.and the dem are to blind to see it, all they see is a black man just like oj. who's only black when he need help from the black people, obama don't care about the blacks whites or brown people all he care about is being in the spotlight, thats why him and his wife are always in hollywood or on some talk show so they can act like there moviestars. we need a leader not a actor.
I agree, people need to open their eyes, use their ears to really listen and use their brain to think, not just listen to Obozo speak.
Obama is just one man. There are 435 people in Congress and 100 people in the Senate who are in charge of making our laws and spending our money. Just what have they done for America? If you want hope and change, get new players in Congress and the Senate. If you want hope and change, start at the local level and at the state level. If you want change, you have to make the change.
Linda,
It is leadership in the executive branch which unites those elected officials to make changes and/or pass bills which will greatly influence what needs to be done. He does not show any leadership ability at all. Many Presidents in the past have shown great leadership and things were done...Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George Bush, President Kennedy and so on. It is the leadership...not the makeup of the Senate and the House. obama purposely divided this nation and there have been bills passed in the house for a budget which does not get passed through the democratic strongholld of the democratic party. We have not had a budget for three years. Ask a democratic congressman "why". Don't ask them...this is an election year and no one will speak the truth.
"Save this Nation", What planet are you from? George W. Bush....a leader? More like a pied piper being followed by a collection of rats. He destroyed out economy and set the stage for these same rich guys to steal 13 trillion dollars of our money then gave them another 750 billion to keep their banks afloat while they sat on their pile of gold.
Stop this nonsense! There is no way anyone can pass a reasonable budget in this TP congress and you all know it. "My way or the highway" does not work! As my mother said, "If you have nothing constructive to say, keep your mouth shut!".
It amazes me all the hatred and disrepect the GOP has for the President and their followers do the same - all you have to do is read some of the comments above. That is what the GOP teaches - disrespect, hatred toward anyone who does not agree with the GOP's thinking and that to me tells me they are plain dangerous for this country and anyone who wants to keep their freedom and rights in this country. I as a woman am sick and tired of the GOP telling us what rights we have when is comes to making choices.
