Obama is a FRAUD
His record is a failure:
Obama: "we tried our plan and it worked". 7/252012
The results:
23 million unemployed
43 straight months of 8+% unemployment
45 million on food stamps
Black poverty at record highs
The middle class has lost 40% of its net worth under Obama
Black youth unemployment over 50%
Hispanic unemployment at 11.3%
Food prices up 15% under Obama
Gas prices doubled under Obama
Obama has the worst job creation record since 1945 (BLS)
Obama recovery the worst in 75 years
Median household income $4,300 declines under Obama
Average family health insurance up $1,500 under Obama
Added $6 trillion to our debt...more than all Prezs. Combined
Presided over only US credit downgrade
If it worked, how come so many Americans are hurting?
Vote Obama the Fraud out in Nov.
Wow NBC. What is your issue with ethnic minorities? It looks like NBC is a racist news organization. Not a single one of the many ethnic minorities included in this coverage.
so, NBC and their Marxist twin MSNBC made a point of cutting away from the minority speakers and avoiding any reference to them, to include photos. The liberal media is no better than the Soviet thought police.
And they are controlled by Obama. Obama, Wright, Sharpton and that gang are the only minorities allowed on MSNBC or NBC. I wish they would take Juan Williams.

that's funny but true!
you forgot friday at the dnc: 2 hours of muslims doing their "jumah" prayers. the dems stand for separation of church and state, you know, unless it's the church of islam.
I love how NBC and MSNBC both "white" washed the GOP convention last night by cutting away from every minority speaker and only covering what the white speakers said and again today by only offering video of the white speakers. This is inline with their narrative that the Republican party is the party of whites only. Anything else would confuse their audience and disrupt their agenda. And if they even mention at all that there are minorities represented in the party they make it into a racist statement that the GOP is trying to put a brown face on a white party. It's always about race with liberals. They see race first in everything, never the individual. And yet they call us racists? More of that quality government education I suppose.
I'm trying to figure out why this NBC website only has pictures of the white people that spoke at the convention? Where's the pictures and comment lines from Mia Love, Arthur Davis, and Ted Cruz? Seems NBC is prejudice towards minorities by not giving them equal coverage. That, or they just want their readers to think the Repub Party is just white people.
FOX, DRUDGE, etc., Please keep this story alive and ensure it gets maximum exposure. NBC is very close to being guilty of TREASON.
How lonely Condolessa Rice must have felt being the the most visible token Black female face sitting up there near Romney. I'm sure Romney had very little intentions of showing too many other ,if any, Black faces after the "warm" reception he received at the NAACP speech. He's already calculated that he would not need the Black vote to win (not). So, I'm sure the RNC is just returning the favor. No matter how human they try to make Romney, it's just no cure for fakeness and disingenuousness.
There are very few Black Republicans for a reason. The GOP is not willing to BUY their votes with a new freebie of the year plan.
romney is not a career politician like obama. he has not perfected the art of faking sincerity like obama. he's primarily a businessman and problem solver. obama is primarily a campaigner and (in office) a problem creator. obama agitated and protested for socialist aims in college and his early career. romney saved the salt lake city olympics to the extent of a $30-40 million profit.
Actually, Pete there was a number of black people in the audience. There was a notably attractive older woman in the audience that the public service channel showed several times...good lokking black dude too!
NBC BIGOTRY!
Mia Love was fabulous. So Was Ted Cruz.
NBC, please post her speech!!! And his.
And stop with the bigotry. People of color deserve to be heard too!!!
why do you only have videos of the pale face people. I'm pretty sure there were some black and brown people that gave speeches.
Obama, is the largest fraud ever to hold a seat in the White House. The media and his leftist cronies keep on pushing the agenda right under your noses. He is destroying America.
The destroying of America was exacerbated by the blank check Bush's blank check war (which just about every Republican voted on). Where was the loud cry for budgets and massive spending then. Many innocent Iraqis and Americans lost their lives in that illegal war(Afghanistan not Iraq). Bill, you are a flaming hypocrite right under YOUR OWN NOSE. JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH. i'M SURE YOU CAN SMELL IT.
hey pete-- i and many other conservatives were aghast at bush's wild spending, not only on the wars but on medicaid and education. rove's idea of trying to out-democrat the democrats in spending was a disaster. however, bill's not the only flaming hypocrite if you bash the gop for afghanistan and overlook obama's clueless continuation of that war. why stay in iraq til 2014 just because you promised to, obama? you haven't kept any other of your promises. get us out now.
Obama upset because his opponent won't release tax returns from the private sector portion of his life, BUT, Obama won’t release college transcript that was paid for with public tax dollars.
Notice NBC did not post any minority photo's Why not?
I am from Utah, Where is the clip of Mia Love? Is NBC racist? She is a great speaker. Heard clips on the radio but surprised NBC drops the clip of the only black speaker.
arthur davis of alabama, the democrat congressman who seconded obama's nomination in 2008, was another black speaker.
Why aren't NBC and MSNBC posting video of the speeches of A. Davis (former African American Democrat congressman from Alabama and Mia Love (African American Republican congressional candidate from Utah) either on their websites or last night during their television coverage. Both were exciting newcomers of color. Seems like the media once again is trying to manipulate the election and the public.
MSNBC, please show us what they are doing to Ron Paul and report on RON PAUL!
Most of the comments seem either one sided, nasty or both. The real question here is why no love for Mia Love. Agree with her politics or not, she should be news this morning. Just sayin.
It's amazing that people choose this horribly biased network for their "news". There is a reason Microsoft dropped these idiots. They present the news with a liberal blowhorn as a filter. Funny how NBC only shows the white people in their video coverage of the convention. Like it or not my fellow Americans, President Obama has a horrible record and he will not return for a second term.
Listening and reading the cowardly and spineless comments being made for their economic falings during the past sixty-eight months (Dems took the House and the Senate in 2006, remember) raises a few questions:
1. What happened during 2007 and 2008 when Dems held the majorities in both the House and the Senate?
2. What happened during 2009 and 2010 when Dems held the majorities in both tha House and the Senate, AND President B.O. held the Presidency?
3. What happened during 2011 and 2012 when Dems still held the Senate and President B.O. still answered to the Telepromptor?
You know what happened? NOTHING - B.O.'s mission accomplished!
Now, they want to blame Congress when the Democratically controlled Senate has blocked everything sent to them.
4. What was the House makeup under President Reagan?
5. Reagan's policies set the economy back on track for multiple decades? Wow, guess what the makeup of Congress was during those years?
House makeup during Reagan's years:
1979-1981 277 Dems 158 Republicans
1981-1983 242 Dems 192 Republicans
1983-1985 269 Dems 166 Republicans
1985-1987 253 Dems 182 Republicans
1987-1989 258 Dems 177 Republicans
Wow! Democrats held the majorities in the House all those years so Reagn's plans must have been mainstream and not radical. H-m-m-m, maybe that is why so many Democrats crossed over and supported President Reagan.
Very difficult to argue against economic growth, job creation and prosperity now, isn't it?
Yet, very easy to point the fingers and blame everyone else!
So, can't help but notice that speeches from Mia Love, Arthur Davis, and Ted Cruz are missing. Don't fit your narrative of the GOP being a party of old, white men, do they?? How about posting their speeches, or are you too bigoted?
Right on, Kyle Smith, I agree with you 100%.
Weren't there some other speeches last night? I think there is something very ugly and dangerous going on in how you decide which speeches to include and which ones to ignore. I think it says something about the people who make those decisions.
To SUMKA-;the money to pay for the "wars" did not come from any existing social rather from suplemental defense authorizations that were not part of the budget.
SmuKa, you are lying about Romney and Paul. ObamaCare is going to take $716 Billion out of Medicare to pay for ObamaCare. You failed to mention that. Pretty arrogant to think folks can't check your BS. Obama has been a disaster for this country and you know it. Yea, and incase you haven't been keeping up with current affairs, Obama is Drone-Bombing Irag, Ahganistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Sudan and Northern Africa and yep, Gitmo is still open. Eric Holder has sued Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Arizona for trying to enforce federal immigration laws, but you go ahead and vote for the sob, you must like seeing Illegal Mexicans take American jobs, get free healthcare and free education for their multiple anchor babies. You do realize Obama has raised Welfare, Food Stamps and Disability Recipients from 19 million to 48 million ? You do realize Obama has carried over a $Trillion Dollars in debt every year for 4 years, you do realize Obama has not passed a budget in 4 years. Why is that ? Hell, he can't even get his own Democrat contolled Senate to pass his crap. Hey , you want to talk about Fast and Furious ? Or, how about Solyndra, Beacon Light, Iner1 or Light Source, all Obama's 'green projects' and 17 others that went bankrupt to the tune of $1.3 Trillion Dollars, all gone, every penny, of course they donated to Obama's re-election campaign before they went bellyup. Or, how about the $5 Trillion Bernanke lost in those two Q.E.'s . Or, how about the $60 Billion we lost on GM and Chrysler ? Or, how about the true un-employment at 15%. And gas is back at $4 bucks a gallon. You do realize the takers are about to outnumber the givers. I personally have lost over $67,000 in net worth since Obama got in office. You idiots are gona slaughter the golden goose. WTH you gona do then ?
Notice how NBC has omitted clips of all of the speakers who are minorities? The mainstream media will stop at nothing to paint a racist face on the Republicans. NOTHING.
Plain and simple, MSNBC is the most racist and bigoted network out there.
