Obama slams Romney on Letterman for 'writing off a big chunk of the country'

Carolyn Kaster / AP

President Barack Obama talks with David Letterman on the set of the "Late Show With David Letterman" at the Ed Sullivan Theater, Tuesday, Sept. 18, in New York.

President Barack Obama slammed Mitt Romney on Tuesday for "writing off a big chunk of the country" after a secretly made video showed the Republican presidential nominee dismissing Obama supporters as victims who are dependent on the government.

"One of the things I've learned as president is you represent the entire country," Obama said on CBS's "Late Show With David Letterman."

"My expectation is if you want to be president, you've got to work for everybody, not just for some," he said to applause from the studio audience.

In the video, the first part of which was published on Monday by the liberal Mother Jones magazine, Romney told donors that 47 percent of Americans would back Obama no matter what and "my job is not to worry about those people."

Romney said they did not pay income taxes and were people "who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them."

Obama said he tried to reach out to people who did not support him after his victory four years ago.

"When I won in 2008, 47 percent of people who voted, voted for John McCain. They didn't vote for me," Obama said.

"And what I said on election night was, even though you didn't vote for me, I hear your voices and I'm going to work as hard as I can to be your president."

Obama, who as a candidate in 2008 made a damaging gaffe of his own that white rural voters clung to guns or religion, indicated he thought Romney should admit his remarks were a mistake.

"When you run for president, you are under a microscope all the time. All of us make mistakes. That incident in 2008, I immediately said, 'I regret this,'" Obama said.

"What I think people want to make sure of is you're not writing off a big chunk of the country."

Despite the focus on the video that was shaking up the presidential campaign, Obama's appearance was not wholly serious in tone. Upon arriving on stage, Obama told the comedian that he looked sharp. 

"You haven't seen me naked," Letterman replied. 

"We're going to keep it that way," Obama retorted. 

Letterman opened his show, which airs later on Tuesday, by poking fun at an incident at the Republican National Convention in which film star Clint Eastwood delivered a diatribe addressed to an imaginary Obama in an empty chair. 

"I want to know before we get started if you want to say something to the empty chair," Letterman said. Obama smiled. 

"Late Show With David Letterman" airs at 11:35 p.m. on CBS.

Obama needs to get his priorities straight. What he needs to do is cancel his interview with David Letterman, cancel his meeting with Beyonce, cancel his meeting with Jay Z, and instead agree to meet with the Prime Minister of Israel. MB has is right...again...The ME is burning, and he's playing celebrity wannabe.

awwww. just because poor little Willard doesn't get asked, let's complain about it. It's an election year and the president is running for re-election (and currently leading), so appearing on a highly viewed show is considered smart campaigning. I know that's foreign to you.

Israel is a friendly small foreign country and cannot dictate to us when and how we treat other small friendly foreign countries. They want a war with Iran they can go ahead and cause a war. They have nuclear bombs so can any country with the technology to build one. USSR and America had enough atom bombs to incinerate each other for years and guess what stopped them from using it, mutual assured destruction of each other. Let this be a lesson for those building destructive bombs. I think Israel want our kids to go and die in Iran to prevent Iran from making their on bomb. Our kids will go only when a draft is established for all to participate. MYth never went to Vietnam and his Kids never went to Iraq or Afghanistan yet he is talking tough about sending other parents kids to go and die for his glory. No.

* Executive Order 11921 allows the Federam Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the president declares a state of emergency.Congress cannot review the action for six months.

It is more than clear that Obama is planning for the total control and takeover of America via Martial Law. Food, energy, transportation, work, banking, and health: he has it covered.

While Obama is busy pulling executive orders out of the sky to control everything inside our country, he has been issuing executive orders to force us to submit to international regulations instead of our Constitution.

Or do you mean the people in the Midwest who "cling to their guns and religion and have antipathy for those who are not like them"? (A veiled reference to conservative whites in America.)

Obama, the rest of the Democrats and the leftist propaganda media machine have been bashing conservatives, white people and anyone who disagreed with his destructive, radical Marxist policies as "bigots" and "racists" for the past four years.

If we had a REAL media, Obama would be confronted with his double standards, lies, and hypocrisy.

Read up Bev in chicago. That is if you got a better education then is currently being supplied in your city.

Netanyahu asked to meet with Obama and his administration said he was to busy.

Bloomberg.com reported that an Israeli official speaking on condition of anonymity said Israel asked the White House over two weeks ago requesting a face to face meeting between Netanyahu and Obama when the Israeli Prime Minister comes to America to address the United Nations this month.

The official said they were told Obama’s schedule was simply too busy to meet with the Israeli Prime Minister because he was “in the middle of campaigning for a second term in the Nov. 6 election.”

Pat Boston MA. 'I sure wish we had a few Republicans who possessed President Obama's manners, maturity, tone, intelligence, humor, work ethic."

I can't believe they are so many in America that see the tree for the forest.... We have a president that has lied over and over, he not only voted for the Born Alive Bill in the Illinois Senate, he was the only one that spoke against it... His man's hands is covered with blood. Oh, He has created jobs alright, jobs in the government that drain more to the deficit. He has done nothing to improve the economy becaues he and the others in his party knows nothing about improving the economy.

Pres. Obama says he is a Christian - That is a lie, a man is not known by what he says, but he is known by his actions. He says Islam is a religion of peace and that is a lie straight from hell.

Please, tell me again how Islam is a peaceful religion... How blind and stupid must a person be to believe that the Islamic religion is peaceful? This is a demonic religion full of hate, death and destruction... it has always been this way and they will change only when they come into contact with the only One True God and that is not the false moon god allah. Many in America thinks that we, America is the only hope for world peace, this delusion is a lie and God's judgment is coming for America.

Arrogance can carry a person or nation a long ways in this world.... Thinking that they are so much more righteous and morally right over everyone else. But past history has shown us that no man is too big that he can't be taken down and it is the same with all nations in the past.
To read God's judgment for America's future or lack thereof, google: "The Message For America, Hand of Help Ministries." To read how I was led to this, google: " Watchman On The Wall, America ~ Mystery Babylon? " To read the message of 2nd major terrorist attack, google; "The Eagle and the Serpents, Hand of Help Ministry." And for where I believe the location of the 2nd attack will be, google: "Watchman On The Wall, The Eagle and the Serpents (Part 2)."
Man's so called wisdom in thinking he knows all that there is to be known has always amazed me. True wisdom is gained from what man has experienced in life. There is nothing in this life that man can say for a certainty, unless he has seen, or experienced directly or indirectly that which pertains to his statements, beliefs, or faith. In other words, for man to say, "I know God does not exist," just because he personally has not experienced a life changing event is nothing less than pure ignorance.
Nothing happens that God is not aware of... He gives man free will to choose for a season and than He will work His miracles in trying to redirect man's steps.... He allowed America to elect and the most unrighteous president in America's history because the vast majority is unrighteous for supporting the abortion and gay rights agendas; and the worse abomination of all is man's rejection of Christ.
One revelation from God is worth far more than the knowledge gained from all the books in the world written by men who have no understanding or comprehension of the absolute truth of God's WORD.

Obama missed the very next intelligence briefing following the attack on our embassy that left Americans dead. That pretty much sums up his work ethic and dedication to the job. Obama sees fundraisers and hobnobbing with celebrities as his top priorities. Shouldn't have left out golf as well.

Mr. Cain emphatically denied having been a culprit to such, stammered and stuttered and bombed. A week or two later, he withdrew his bid for nomination.

The few issues I see here:

1. Obama was in NYC with world leaders, during a time when there is huge unrest in the Middle East and many developing fronts with the Iran nuclear issue and the Iran/Israel tensions. He had the ability to meet with these leaders, but he chose to be a politician instead. Not liking that.

2. Letterman show and the Jay-z fundraisers. Calling these excuses for not being able to meet with world leaders over actual issues is inexcusable to me. I'm sure that Letterman or Jay-z would understand that world issues take precident and/or would find a way to modify their schedules for the President. Not impressed.

3. The Letterman interview. Well, we all knew that Letterman was a fan of the President's so it was pretty much as it was scripted to be. I don't think anything in that interview was spontaneous. I was waiting for the President to pull out a saxiphone.

I recall, David Letterman once told Republican hopeful Herman Cain "you do realize the road to the White House passes right through this stage?" and then proceeded to grill him

On the other side, Barack Obama looked and sounded very presidential last night.

David Letterman is a committed liberal who will as you say "grill" republicans while laughing it up and throwing softballs to Democrats. Letterman is NOT a journalist (not that they are less biased), and he is not someone to be taken seriously, he is an entertainer who likes Obama, like so many other rich Hollywood liberals. Do you honestly think Letterman is going to grill Obama, or say anything that would not help him in his campaign? Letterman is an Obama tool which is why Obama meets with him while ignoring real questions and problems.

As yes, the Obama secret "not so much anymore" Narwhale room has two shifts pumping out the BS for Obama this morning. Bottom line

Wiped out our space agency and turned it into a make nice with Muslims org. Is trying to wipe out our military strength. Has added more to our debt in 3+ years than all the Presidents before him. Has written more executive orders than anyone and all aimed at giving himself dictator status. Loosed the mobs in the Middle East with his ignoring Congress and the Constitution and aiding the rioters in those countries, bombing Libya where our Ambassedor was dragged out and killed.

What more do you people need to see his agenda. Unless of course all you can hear is the pipe he is playing to walk you all off the cliff.

Harley Chic, I went and read the article on the jobs act being a fraud. And now I can't stop laughing. That article was complete opinions from one side with little to no facts. I have a study done by an INDEPENDENT researcher that clearly shows that Prevailing wage cuts cost on public funded projects. Especially when building high schools. The Department of Economics, University of Missouri-Kansas City, it's called "under construction" and was led by Michael Kelsay, PH.D..

A big HEAR, HEAR to Harley Chic for beating you-know-who to the punch; and, you're absolutely right. Obama needs to stop being "Celebrity-President" and just be plain old President.

But that's way beneath him, isn't it?

As for what Romney said; the shame of it all is that he's absolutely correct. 47% to 48 % of the voting population believes that the government owes them something, and that they'll get it from Obama. In that sense, they would never vote for someone who they thought would either not give them government paid social benefits (such as welfare, food stamps, or S.S. disability) , or who might cut back, or even take away, the free "boonies" that they're already getting.

He simply spoke the truth, and I don't see how that's "writing off a big chunk of the country."

Since Obama took office there are more people on welfare, more people on food stamps, and more people drawing unemployment benefits than there were before he was President.

For some unbeknownst reason, Obamaniacs seem to think that this is acceptable. We are becoming a lazy assed share the wealth society, instead of a "work for it, earn it, & take it!" society, which is what always made America great.

I can't imagine what this country will look like in four years, if Obama gets reelected.

But, I can tell you now that it isn't going to be prettty.

It's time for leadership, not "showmanship." We need a statesman in the Oval Office, not a reality-TV-celebrity.

Moreover, we need a businessman. Not, someone who's in so far over his head that he has no idea whatsoever what he's doing.

I sure wish we had a president that actually acted like a president. We are in a crisis. A weak foreign policy is creating and accelerating violence because our country is too weak to respond and what is our president doing? On a TV late night show criticizing a challenger when Obama has no plan and has not had a budget in Congress during his entire presidency as well as no coherent foreign policy plan. Total lack of leadership.

Then we have an economy collapsing before our very eyes. The only reason it hasn't collapsed is because he borrowed $6 Trillion. That is like a small business failing and getting $100,000 loan from the bank to pay vendors and employees. But the problem is the actual PROBLEMS with the business are not resolved so when that money runs out - so does the business.

Same thing with our country. Obama hasn't fixed anything and all indicators show he has made it worse. 8% unemployment for 43 straight months. 1 in 7 on Food Stamps. 1 in 6 in Poverty. Lowest labor participation rate since the 80's. Most people unemployed since the Great Depression.

So now that the $6 Trillion spent inefficiently has worn out the economy is starting its collapse and what is our president doing? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. When was the last time he sat down with businesses to ask "what can this government do to help you?". He hasn't. When was the last time he asked the consumers "what can the government do to help you find a job?". He hasn't.

This president has been an absolute failure - but still spends his entire time either golfing, being on late night tv, or campaigning. I have a better idea - why don't you act like a president and do something.

PERSONAL attacking HARLEY CHICK-an well as others--YUP fits with the OBAMM LOVERS--

NOW as to theobama---HE SAID---

"One of the things I've learned as president is you represent the entire country," Obama said on CBS's "Late Show With David Letterman."

"My expectation is if you want to be president, you've got to work for everybody, not just for some," he said to applause from the studio audience

HEY BUDD---is that why YOU IGNORE what WE THE PEOPLE WANT---YOUR CRAPCARE is just that CRAP!

LIE CHEAT and BULLCRAP is all theibama can do at this point--HE has FAILED at EVER TURN OF HIS SCREW THE AMERICANS--WE will survive and prosper ONCE he is gone---wonder if his MUZZIE BROS have a spot for a person of his small status!

For those who bothered to watch the FARCE--DNC CONVENTION you should have been WATCHING THEIR BODY LANGUAGE---NOT a ONE believed what they were saying and MO was the worst with HER LIES---THAT person is the FUNNIEST I have ever seen trying to cover her bull and convince people that SHE was TRUTHFUL!

AND as to theobama SWILL on how GREAT hE IS----

THEN= BUSH-------NOW=OBAMAA

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Then . . . . . . Now
Unemployment . . . .7.8% . . . . . . . 8.3%
Median income . . . $54,983 . . . . . $50,964
Gasoline / Gallon . .$1.What85 . . . . . . . $3.78
National Debt . . . . .$10.6 T . . . . . $16.0 T

How's that "Change" working for you?

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically, and internationally. Leadership means; “The buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem, and a failure of leadership... Americans deserve better!”

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006!

. . . it was so nice of NOBAMA to give us this great quote for posterity!

NOW take a look at the reality he has given us regarding the debt that NOBAMA 2012 has added $4 Trillion dollars on his watch in 3 years and now recently another $1 trillion was just added:

$413 Billion on interest payments 2010

That amount of money exceeds all the following departments COMBINED!

Department of Health & Human Services
Department of Transportation
Department of Energy
Department of Veterans Affairs
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Department of Justice
Department of Homeland Security
Department of Agriculture
Department of Commerce
Treasury Department
Department of Labor
Small Business Administration

According to the non partial Congressional Budget Office, by 2021, just 9 short years from now, that $413 billion dollar figure for interest payments will go up to $1.1 TRILLION dollars! That is NOT money we can spend on anything. It just leaves the country and makes other countries rich, leaving us in more debt because none of that money is going to pay off the original debt!

To pay this debt, Congress would have to stop spending ANY money at all and pay $100 million dollars per day for 389 years! Who's going to pay this? NOBAMA? Bush? Reid? PELOSI? Nope, YOU and I are expected to do this with our tax dollars.

NoBAMA 2012 You FAIL

Meanwhile, libbies have tried desperately to look "cute" by referring to Mitt Romney as RobMe Hood ... and there were audio clips of Barack Hussein Obama talking at Loyola University waaaayyyyy back in 1998 where Obama was clearly saying HE FAVORS "REDISTRIBUTION OF THE WEALTH" to give "everyone a shot" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would make Obama "ROBBING HOOD" !

So if I earned it, and I saved it .... the Distributor in Chief wants to REDISTRIBUTE it through food stamps, increasing dependency on government welfare and giving only "LIP SERVICE" to jobs ??????????????????

When do you meet with your jobs council Mr. President ? Are you still hitting the late-night talk shows ?? ARE you auditioniong for "Dancing with the Czars" ?

I find it interesting that Mr. Obama's supporters on this site have not challenged the premise of Mr. Romney's videotaped comments...that the "takers" in our society, as usual, will be lined up to vote for Mr. Obama or any Democrat candidate running for office to keep the booty coming their way. Which is, by the way, a truthful statement.

With all the insults that I've seen hurled about "unintelligent" or the classic "low information" voters in the Republican Party...I'm shocked I'm not reading from the more liberally inclined Newsviners about Mr. Romney being incorrect about the voters he classifies as a 'lock' for Mr. Obama.

I'll say it again...in 2010, the Democrat candidate for Governor of Connecticut won election by about 6000 votes out of 1.13 million cast...a squeaker of an election. In just the six poorest Connecticut cities, the man won by over 70,000 votes. And the cities here are tiny, with populations of just over 100,000 and down from there. And we have more than six "poor" cities. The new governor did not win a single community that is classified as a town...you know, the places where parents wake up and go to work, raise their children, and pay an overburden of state, local, and federal taxes.

So I'll take it as an "acceptance" from Newsviners that no matter how much they hate and insult Mr. Romney, they fully accept his premise that Mr. Obama, or any Democrat candidate, are proven magnets for the votes of those who contribute the least to this nation, while taking and expecting the most from this nation.

    The average raise in the national debt is about 4 trillion, possibly 5 and I remember when Obammmmmm came to office and everyone said he was putting us in debt more and more and the dems came out with the stats of how every president had raised the debt up 4-5 trillion "but Bush sr raised it 8 trillion" and so forth....so basically, the dems were trying to show that obambam only raised it 3 trillion but that was early....now it has been raised 6+ trillion and he has not (aand hopefully will not) finished his 4th year......and yet the dems are still on their soapbox

    Now, bamalama says he is the peoples pres? really? Hows that job percentage? National debt? Military...oh you people dont know about that one? Well, it seems that you cdr in chief there has been passing bills to reduce our forces, downsize as it were but also places other restrictions on the workers of our government on our bases and posts to the point where positions are disappearing. But he is doing....good? for who? How about he is doing good for those of you that want to sit on yourbutts and not go out and work hard for your money and actually participate in a solution instead of being a problem.

    How many on food stamps and welfare have television sets? Cable? Cell phones? food in the fridge? Drugs in their system? and probably disability checks coming in as well. And yet, the dems still back him up....... funny how that it is...until their job goes away, until they are made to pee in a bottle to be eligible for food stamps, unemployment and welfare....ohhhh touchy subject there isnt it? Yowza

    Once again, if you support bamdingdong then you have drank the juice. I with fingers crossed, hope that he does not get elected for a second term because I truly believe we will never be able to recover from that and Canada is only so big! I think that we are sort of screwed either way but the lesser of both evils is Romney...and I am not happy about that either.

    So, fo ryou dems out there with your stats and nothing better to do but keep on patting slimeball on the back and go after others that have educated comments regardless who they vote for, I say: I somewhat feel sorry for you but it is obvious that o2 is being wasted every inhalation you accomplish.

    Perhaps the person who penned that line today keeps watching a loop of the President's announcement that a Navy Seal raid had resulted in Bin Laden's death. His announcement was all "I this" and "I that" and "I determined"...worst case of 'I-itis' I've ever seen.

    It would be better for Pres. Obama to stay away from Late Night Shows. He must project he is bigger than that as President of the United States; it looks cool and could be a call for desperation.

    Staying on the campaign trail in all States is where he should be, among the masses here, along with updating the American People on his voice and plans for the worldwide chaos that is going on--He must address Foreign Policy.

    Those monsters in the Middle East will try to bring us down with another Terrorist Attack like 9/11 if ignored.

    @Radcliffe4,

    Please don't post like your smart, we right wingers understand that the economy went south because of policies but in place by Democrats. The Affordable housing act which REGULATED banks to make risky and careless loans combined with Freddie and Fannie (Both ran by Democrats giving money to democrat campaigns along with special loans) backing bad loans and packaging them as triple AAA investments with no oversight from congress (rejected by Barnie,Maxine and other Dems) had the largest role in the huge bubble and down turn.

    We also know that Bush INHERITED the dot come bubble plus the largest attack on American soil yet unemployment never went over 7%. We also know that after his tax cuts Unemployment dropped to under 5%. We also remember the Democrats took over his last two years in office right before the time the economy started to tank.

    We also know that Reagan INHERITED a similar if not worse situation from Carter as Obama and had 6% growth by the end of his first term. He ran on what was an obvious recovery, not on a plateform of "I need more time".

    You are backing a man who has been President during the worst recovery EVER, record breaking numbers of people on food stamps and disability, and the middle east, along with tensions between Japan and China are at World War III levels.

    Who is it that is an idiot?

    I love the way liberals talk about Republicans "deflecting" but isn't it the liberals that are deflecting? Here are the facts:

    1) We were told by Obama if he was allowed to spend nearly $1 Trillion unemployment would not go above 8%. It has been above 8% for 43 straight weeks.

    2) Obama has added nearly $6 Trillion in debt that we as a country have no way to pay back.

    3) GDP is stagnant at less than 2% annual growth - not even enough GDP growth to keep up with population

    4) 1 in 7 on Food Stamps - highest since the program was started

    5) 1 in 6 in Poverty - highest since the "war on poverty" was even started over 50 years ago

    6) Lowest labor participation rate since the 80's

    7) Highest percent out of work 6 months or more since the Great Depression

    And the sad part is Obama has not even offered a change in what he has done as to what he plans to do. Only Obama can convince the unintelligent that he will do the same thing for the next four years and expect a different result as the LAST four years.

    We have a choice in this country. To "stay the course' and expect a different result or elect someone in Romney who understands business and how to grow the private sector. Remember, ONLY the private sector can create jobs and economic growth - the federal government cannot. So we either grow the private sector or we don't. Romney will help grow the private sector but Obama will continue to attack the private sector as he has done the last four years.

    Now liberals won't believe me, but why would liberals ever be interested in the truth, and many businesses now are simply "waiting" to find out what happens with this election. I do a lot of business consultation and the last couple years many businesses delayed expansion and hiring. That's why GDP is not growing because any hiring is "on hold". If Romney is elected businesses will believe the government will try to HELP them and support them and you will see GDP growth in the 4% to 6% annual rate within 12 months. If Obama is elected I know a number of businesses who plan to close. They say, and I agree, that Obama will make it difficult for them to make a profit that is worth the risk. If the "risk" is higher than the "reward" they will get out of that investment and business. If Obama is elected again I see 12% unemployment within 24 months and in a recession that is worse than what we have in 2008. The next recession, if Obama is elected, will be closer to the Great Depression. That is not MY opinion it is what I see and who I talk to.

    So I have a suggestion for you - make sure you stock up on ammo and get some emergency long term food to have as backup (at least enough for 7 days) because if Obama is reelected we will see an economic collapse within 6 months and finding food and protecting your family will be most important. We will see riots not seen since Rodney King in the early 90's and crime will skyrocket with armed robbery and home invasions occurring on a daily basis. Again, that is not MY opinion but what occurs during an economic collapse because when unemployment skyrockets, and cities and states don't have the money for unemployment insurance and the federal government cannot borrow any more money, things are going to get nasty. Real nasty.........

      I think most intelligent people recognize by now that Obama can't run on his record of failure. But a less-recognized corollary of that is that he can't fool the people with grandiose-sounding promises anymore either. Imagine Obama giving a campaign speech now saying: "Elect me and I will close Guantanamo within one year!" or "Elect me and I will cut the deficit in half by the end of my next term" ... If he tried those lines on us again, he would be laughed off the stage.

      He can't run on his record, he can't run on his lies and empty promises. So how can he run? Attack, attack, attack ... That's all he has left.

      Romney say's he donated his entire inheritance and did it solely on his own. He failed to mention that he made that donation 3 years after receiving it. How many could, 'Do it on their own', if they had 20 million or so to bankroll them for 3 years?

      Romney claims our navy is the smallest it's been since 1917 even though in reality our tonnage exceeds the total tonnage of the next 17 largest navies combined. When Reagan was elected we had 3 naval task forces, today we have 11. If there's any argument that our military is strained it's not lack of spending it's the constant wars we've been fighting for 11 years in republican wars.

      Romney suggests the mere thought of Reagan being elected was why Iran released the hostages on the day he was elected ignoring the deal Reagan made to supply parts for Irans American made tanks and planes they couldn't legally buy parts for.

      Romney intends to cut the top rate from 35% to 25% and eliminate capital gains taxes which is most of his income and means under his plan he'd pay zero or close to zero with no explanation as to who or how this would be paid for or how the country would benefit.

      Well said Kannin. The only chance hussein obama has is too convince his loyal sheep that anyone else is bad news. The thing the sheeps don't know is how their dictator is selling them out.

      * Executive Order 10990 allows the Government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

      * Executive Order 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

      * Executive Order 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.

      * Executive Order 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

      * Executive Order 11001 allows the government to take over all health education and welfare functions.

      * Executive Order 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

      * Executive Order 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

      * Executive Order 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations.

      * Executive Order 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.

      * Executive Order 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen-year period.

      * Executive Order 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

      * Executive Order 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice (NOTE: that's Fast and Furious Eric Holder!) to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute Industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

      * Executive Order 11921 allows the Federam Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the president declares a state of emergency.Congress cannot review the action for six months.

      It is more than clear that Obama is planning for the total control and takeover of America via Martial Law. Food, energy, transportation, work, banking, and health: he has it covered.

      While Obama is busy pulling executive orders out of the sky to control everything inside our country, he has been issuing executive orders to force us to submit to international regulations instead of our Constitution.

      @IPCMFG, wow that's a lot of writing with no understanding.

      There is in the Constitution a Vague Understanding of Executive Powers in Article II, sac 3, clause 5. Executive orders are Constitutional and used to direct the officers of The Executive Branch to carry out their DELIGATED Duties. They are usually sent out as Administrative Orders rather than Executive Orders. They pertain to:

      1. Security of Government

      2. Homeland Security

      As I read your (the) list of Executive orders One can see they all are directed to security measures thet must be taken if we are attacked again or under threat of attack.. As times and Technoligy change the security of this country must change to meet the Situation. We have come a long way from the days of hanging a couple of lanterns in a church tower. I don't think you have a clue as to what an Executive Directive (order) is. Did it ever cross your mind to find out what an Executive Order is first? I think not!

      Last night I watched two asses on television. One was pretending to be a comedian and the other was pretending to be a president! Both came out as complete frauds!

      I must be part of that one percent! I worked all my life, paid taxes, including Social Security, and Medicare! Then I retired only to find something I had paid into all of my life was now considered an entitlement! Like they were giving me something!

      Now I would not want you to get me wrong! I understand that all the money paid into Social Security was stolen back out to fund the welfare nation started under LBJ! It just is not there!

      Bill Clinton tried a unique approach! He just wrote off the money owed to Social Security, and all of the interest on it! Low and behold there was now a surplus and everyone cheered, until it was understood what he had done! His accounting tricks made him look good for awhile and some people still believe it!

      Unfortunately, accounting tricks will not solve what is going on in this country! It is not just the National debt that is a problem but the worthless money Obama is still having printed, Sixteen trillion and counting! That's right, just printed up and put into circulation with nothing to back it!

      Some of you will say that I belong to the 99% but I disagree! I am not dependant on Government handout! The Social Security I draw was paid for in advance! If it gets taken away I will go back to work if need be to survive! Those who rode the welfare train on Social Securities dime will have a problem! They are used to be subsidies all there life and think it is a birthright to be taken care of by the government! These people do fall into the 99%

      The Liberals have worked hard to try and convince us that old Mitt is talking about us, but we know the difference! If you felt insulted, tough!

      If the top ten percent of wage earners pay 90% of all federal taxes and the top 50% pay 100% of all federal taxes I'd say that pretty well some up the state of affairs in this country! One half wanting a free ride and the other half paying for it!

      So let’s redefine that 99% you are throwing out there! half of the country is taking all they can get and the other half is paying for it! The only way the takers can get ahead is to have the payers pay more taxes! No wonder you scream every time there is a tax cut!

      Your propaganda always centers on single moms, teaches, firemen and police. If we reduce taxes we will hurt ourselves!

      Single Moms need to give up the name of the father! Once they are known we need to determine how many children the have made! if the have more then two children they are not supporting they need to be surgically castrated! The same goes for the mothers!

      I have watched single moms around tax time! They come into stores and buy fifty dollars worth of lottery tickets at a time! Thank god for that earned income check! If it wasn’t for the money coming out of the payers and going to the takers she would not have the money to play the lottery!

      As for the Teachers, Fireman, and police, I agree they are needed! What I do not agree with is how they give Hugh amounts of money to certain candidates to get them elected so they have the person they want to negotiate there new contracts! States are going bankrupt trying to cover the contracts already in place! In this sense they to are takers!

      Now states and counties are raising the tax rates on homeowners to pay for the ever increasing burden of Union contracts! The worth of our houses has gone down but the price of owning them has gone way up!

      If you want to live high on the hog, try finding someone else’s ass to chew on! All civil servant union are parasites! They feed on the ones they are supposedly helping! For them to get ahead they have to take it away from those who pay taxes! In this case, homeowners! So when they actively compete to get someone elected who will give them a better contract they are hurting the homeowners! In recent years the homeowners have become enslaved to pay for ever increasing pay and benefits for these groups!

      Of course there is a vote on School budgets! That is when the takers show up in droves to vote for something they do not have to pay for! Making it highly unlikely for school budgets to get voted down!

      So, if you want to put me into that so called one percent that we all know is the fifty percent, I would be proud to be there! Let’s call that fifty percent the payers and you can be the takers! Now isn't that much easier?

I don't depend on society to feed my family, and I'm sick of paying more taxes than most people make in a year because others failed to prepare for real life.

      And if Obama really represented ALL of America, Obamacare wouldn't have been signed. Last I checked it was still wildly unpopular except in the blue "gimme" states. Several of which are on the verge of bankruptcy. I'm looking at you California.

Obama claims to be creating 90,000 jobs every month for the last 44 months ... there is one problem, we need to create 275,000 jobs per month just to employ the new new people entering the work force ... Additionally if we are to cut the unemployment number down we need another 490,000 for the next 48 months !!!

      So, what we needed was 766,000 new JOBS per month ... In other words, Obama needed to CREATE 33,000,000 million new jobs over the last 44 months not the absolutely pathetic 4 million he is bragging about. Why does the press allow Obama to even brag about 4 million when he should be creating 33 million, it's like Obama saying I raped 9 women not 10 ... yeahhh Obama you're swell.

      For President Obama, being interviewed at the David Letterman Show was not a good idea.

      Letterman is associated with a bad reputation in his TV and personal life---he is a has been with many demons..

      It would be better for Pres. Obama to stay away from Late Night Shows. He must project he is bigger than that as President of the United States; it looks cool and could be a call for desperation.

      Staying on the campaign trail in all States is where he should be, among the masses here, along with updating the American People on his voice and plans for the worldwide chaos that is going on--He must address Foreign Policy.

      I mean the question MUST be asked because I was also once "Suspended for a day" for making reference to someone as having a "rectocranial inversion" (which actually requires someone like yourself a few seconds to ponder) .... while libbies like yourself get by with comments like you made in #2.29 ..... with a total PASS from Tyler !

      Cannot wait to see President Obama on Letterman tonight. He is so well liked and Letterman has great respect for him - unlike his complete disdain for Romney. President Obama always comes across well and it will be good to have him in front of the public as Romney - once again - shows how stupid he is in everything he does.

      Romney has nothing to run on and those tax returns are still missing. Isn't it funny he thinks it is beneath him to do what every other Presidential candidate in modern time has done? His father must be rolling in his grave knowing his son is such a loser!

      Hopoefully we can vote out a majority of the Republican obstructionists in November so President Obama can move the recovery faster during his 2nd term!

      "After examining 77 Bain investments made between 1984 and 1999, the [Wall Street Journal] found that 22% of the companies declared bankruptcy or closed within eight years of Bain's initial investment. And poor performance led Bain to forfeit its investment in another 8%.

      He founded, acquired, or invested in hundreds of companies including AMC Entertainment, Aspen Education Group, Brookstone, Burger King, Burlington Coat Factory, Domino's Pizza, DoubleClick, D&M Holdings, Guitar Center, Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), Sealy, The Sports Authority, Toys R Us, Unisource, Warner Music Group and The Weather Channel. He was behind the start up of Staples. Starting with one store in 1986, Staples now is the world's largest office products company with $24 billion in sales in 2009.

      Your premise was wrong. Its not 70% of the companies but 70% dollar value that according to WSJ is:

      • Bain’s returns came from just a small number of investments. Ten deals produced more than 70% of the total dollar gains. (4 of the 10 of these businesses later ended up in bankruptcy court).

      So its 10 out of 77 and later 6 out of 77 that survived. Not a pretty good batting ave. if you ask me.

The fact that you refer to a man who has that kind of ability as "stupid" says more about you than about Romney.

      The problem is that the 70% that survived Bain did so despite Bains attempt to milk verything they could not through any desire to, "save them". Here's some examples of how Romney and Bain made their money. I defy anyone to explain how anything Bains done was intended to do anything but maximize profits.

      Bain bought KB toys putting up 17 million and bringing in investors for the rest. The immediately borrowed 65 million, the maximum they could borrow on KB's assets and made a special distribution of the entire 65 million solely to the Bain partners. After waiting the minimum time a judge couldn't claw back this special dividend they filed bankruptcy. 3700+ employees lost their jobs, the suppliers and other investors lost most of their money but the Bain partners walked away with a 48 million dollar profit.

      Burger King has long been an enrichment scheme for clever financiers, who have sucked hundreds of millions of dollars out of it over the years. Financial engineering has been part of the Burger King story for so long that it’s hard to believe there is still anything worth plucking from its carcass. “It’s been run as a cash cow for Wall Street,” said Bob Goldin, an executive vice president of Technomic, a food service consulting firm.

      In 2002, Goldman Sachs, along with two private equity firms, TGP and ... hmmm ... Bain Capital, teamed up to buy Burger King. This is exactly the kind of situation private equity firms like to trumpet: taking over a downtrodden company and nursing it back to health. And to get them their due, Burger King’s new owners did some good, stabilizing both the company and the franchisees, many of whom were in worse shape than Burger King itself.

      But the private equity investors also cut themselves an incredibly sweet deal. Their $1.5 billion purchase price included only $210 million of their own money; the rest was borrowed. They immediately began taking out tens of millions of dollars in fees. Four years later, they took Burger King public. But, first, they rewarded themselves with a $448 million dividend. In all, according to The Wall Street Journal, “the firms received $511 million in dividend, fees, expense reimbursements and interest” — while still retaining a 76 percent stake.

      Does it need to be said that Burger King was soon back to its old struggling self?

Look at one of the posts up above...one of the President's fan boys said that the President planned out the attack on Bin Laden whlie "simultaneously" doing something else ! So even a limited invasion into Pakistan to take out Bin Laden in the house he hid in didn't even require the full concentration from Mr. Obama.

        ooopsie....hey Mitt...your base in the red states are the moochers....

        The truth of the economics of this country are pretty clear: The producers, the Blue states drive a majority of the GDP while the Red states have economies based on cheap labor and resource extraction and TAKE more from the federal government than they contribute.

        When you add up all the spending the federal government does, it's the Republicans areas that suck out over 170 billion dollars a year more in federal spending than they contribute in taxes. That basically means they pay not a dime for all the federal programs.

        So, which voters are really 'dependent on government'? Those that pay for our federal government or those that are net beneficiaries.

        If you're living off the government indirectly, chances are you're a Republican. Like Bachmann decrying big government while benefiting from subsidies, they aren't even aware of it and if they are, they won't admit it.

          Heard an interesting phrase turned tonight:

          "Do you want a President who cares for the Few, or do you want a President who cares for the Many?"

          What planet are yhou from? Obama cares about the military? You must be joking. Is that why he let the world know about Seal team 6 and suddenly a group of them are killed in a helicopter crash? Is that why folks in the military have consistently voted Republican at a rate higher than 70%? The military knows who truly cares about them and working to provide them with the tools they need.

          I want an american president that works for us, not against us, as hussein has.

          * Executive Order 10990 allows the Government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

          * Executive Order 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

          * Executive Order 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.

          * Executive Order 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

          * Executive Order 11001 allows the government to take over all health education and welfare functions.

          * Executive Order 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

          * Executive Order 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

          * Executive Order 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations.

          * Executive Order 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.

          * Executive Order 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen-year period.

          * Executive Order 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

          * Executive Order 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice (NOTE: that's Fast and Furious Eric Holder!) to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute Industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

          * Executive Order 11921 allows the Federam Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the president declares a state of emergency.Congress cannot review the action for six months.

          It is more than clear that Obama is planning for the total control and takeover of America via Martial Law. Food, energy, transportation, work, banking, and health: he has it covered.

          While Obama is busy pulling executive orders out of the sky to control everything inside our country, he has been issuing executive orders to force us to submit to international regulations instead of our Constitution.

          IPC.....good intel but way beyond the intelligence for these libs....you would have to put executive orders in a cartoon format for them to see....start with disney characters like GOOFY and MICKEY. Next is use puppets with strings and put in some islam characters (not hard to find). The libs also relate to real life cartoon characters like botox -pelosi, nasty dirty-harry and so many funny ones in the administration.

            If you think Obama has issued Executive Orders now wait until after the election...win or lose... he has NO ONE to answer to and the pardons! No reason to close Gitmo...just pardon them.

            Red cloud...I hope Obama does NOT do business as usual on Air Force One when campaigning because he stated on national TV that he takes a case of his home brew on AF ONe when campaigning. why do WE have abrewery in the White House and who paid for it?

            BTW presiden unite the country? Why did Obama ask on national TV for this is the year that ALL BLACK PEOPLE MUST GET OUT AND VOTE FOR ME? Remember that? What woulld happen if Romney would ask all white people to get out and vote for me? All hell would break loose liberals would have massive strokes!

There was also a movie created about the hypothetical assassination of President Bush. Where was your outrage? Would you be outraged if a similar movie was made about Obama?

            Bali Bob,

            Well I am sure you and I would be capable of having a rational and productive debate then. Unfortunately there are hypocrites on both side of every argument. It is my opinion that liberals are more prone to ignore the failings of this president. When Bush was in power I emailed my congressmen and told them to stop the out of control spending and posted my opinions on blogs because Bush was failing. The media is running overtime covering up for Obama when the same media did nothing but attack every word out of Bush's mouth. The press has become a lap dog for the government and not a guard dog for the average american.

            I see you have access to the internet. As such, you should be able to search a variety of sources and discover just about anything you would like to know. I suggest you not wait for some mythological Walter Cronkite type transformation of all media to bring you the truth. You'll have to take the initiative and find the truth yourself. Good luck.

            First of all the President is very capable of doing more than one event at a time. Second, the President is very well aware of what is going on in the Middle East more than we do. This President is understands the politics of the Middle East more than we do. This President already has a plan, and he is not one to show his hand to quickly or carelessly. He ordered the mission to take out Bin Laden, and at the sametime he went to a dinner rippping on "Trampy Trump" the "Chump On The Stump." Some misguided citizens think incorrectly that this President only thinks on one level. FOOLS! This President thinks on several levels at the sametime, and he knows exactly what his next move will be. It is better for now that our President keep those Foreign Policy "Cards" to himself. It is very important that the President carry on as usual on the surface, and keep a careful eye on the dangerous developments in the Middle East. Our President is already very aware of the following. One. America must NOT be drawn into another countries Civil Wars. Two. America cannot afford anymore very expensinve wars financially. Three. The human toll on our brave armed forces has already been very high, and will take years to repair. Four. Blindly bombing everybody is NOT good Foreign Policy. NO Foreign Government is going to challenge the resolve of this President. That is fact! One wonders what Bin Laden is doing now? Oh yes! He is dead!

            Obama is a the master of campaigning, hasn't quit since elected.

            Under his watch we have been downgraded twice and are now 7th in the world of business. Our dollar is worth?

            Obama is one of the people most responsible for the mortage bubble and the mess we are in today. He sued City Bank as a community organizer to make sure mortages were given to people who did not qualify. As a senator he and the dems. worked even harder to force banks to lend to people who did not qualify.

            Today there are more people on the dole than ever.

            I have not idea how taxing a millionaire will help the middle class. When was the last time you worked for a middle class person and made a living wage? When was the last time you were hired by a person on public assistance? Why is it bad to succeed, everyone can.

Sad thing is our Democratic governor worked hard to make this happen and celebrates it like it is a victory to have increased the number of people reliant on the government. Too bad they don't work harder at finding these people decent paying jobs that they can work at and be proud to support themselves.

                  I do agree with Herondel on one point. If you are going to collect welfare and have the ability to work then you should be doing something for that money. We need highways cleaned, parks maintained, etc. We don't even have to displace people already in the field, the welfare recipients can just provide additional help. Hell they don't even have to work a full week, just 20hrs and have your supervisor sign and submit your time sheet so you can continue to receive welfare. Teach a man or woman to work and he will support himself eventually.

                    Romney is approaching the dreaded fate of a candidate who has lost control of his image by one gaffe after another and for whom no remedy will put things right. No "reset" or "reboot' will salvage a candidacy now in tatters. Next stop for the Romneytron is an irreversible downward spiral of diminishing returns. At that point, funding dries up, Obama becomes invincible, and Mitt awaits the inevitable with sickening anticipation.

                      I hate to break it to you genius .... but nobody gives a damn if Obama is black, white, pink, yellow, green or chartrese !!! But it shows the desperation because you libs are not capable of understanding the financial harm Obama is doing to this country. Obama is likeable personally, but he is not and never has been up to the job of being a true statesman and LEADING this country !!!!

                      I think that Romney was a little off with his numbers. The number of people in this country that feel as though they are entitled to everything and are victims of everything far outway those that feel they should work for what they have and get over whatever has happened in the past and move on to bigger and better things.

                      That should be "outweigh" genius. But let's be realistic, some in the 47% WILL be voting for Romney because they truly WANT JOBS and Obama has been a total failure at that ... because jobs come from the private sector which Obama wants to control, raise taxes and regulations upon and disparage.

                      If Obama is defeated, the jobs picture will begin to slowly improve even before Mitt Romney is inaugurated ... because businesses will no longer fear the "Incompetent One" ... a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama.

                      So when Obama said rural voters cling to guns and religion, he thought that was representing everyone? As President, he is a disgrace, a joke and a threat, all rolled into one.

Personal integrity and character are meaningless to the unwashed and semi-literate trailer troglodytes of the far right. Middle America doesn't identify with these hillbillies and they definitely don't embrace your failed political ideology. That is why your candidate is losing the race for president.

I read many posts everyone trying to outwit,outsmart,or simply vent their point to at least try and be heard.But Time will be the teller of all, the truth will alas be undeniable just like in every generation of great debate,the real question here is can you really afford to stick to your peverbial guns?

                      I mean Dollar wise can you afford to stick to what your party is SAYING? Do you even really believe in your party anymore? Is it sinking in that your party may not be who and what they represented themselves to be? or are you sticking with your party because you so believed in the line they fed you so wanted it to be true that you cannot even admit to yourself... IT IS JUST A LIE.

                      What Obama said didn't even make sense. Romney made it was clear he was talking about who he should focus on in relation to what demographic could be swayed to vote for him. Obama is pretending to misunderstand which makes him to appear dishonest.

                      Apparently you were listening to his explanation not the tape. He said clearly that 47% of the country pay no taxes and a little bit later rely completely on the government and they are not responsible and at all and want everything for free. Including healthcare, food, housing etc. Which is a pack of lies. And besides over half of those freeloaders are from the red states in the south that support Romney. Besides Mississippi on a different note are the most obese state. A Romney stronghold of course. The tape fixed Romney good. Since he didn't want to give specifics the tape did that for him. Watch the tape. Watch it all. Including the tips he gave to Iran to cause problems for us if they didn't agree with us. This tape was stupid and ignorant just like some republicans said and I love it because when he was explaining this to some Fox News dj, you could tell he was fuming. He just wrote off 47% and he can't reframe, make it more elegant or anything. And after it all. 3 of those percent make over 2 million dollars. I do not see how Romney has any intelligent voters left. He doesn't check anything out, plan anything or have a response for anything. And in the meantime his plan to run our government is clear that he plans to do nothing! That will work great.

                        When Obama was elected Senator, he spent the overwhelming majority of his time as a US Senator running for President, now that he's President he's spent the last four years trying to get re-elected. Our nation needs a full time President not a full time campaigner who is obssessed with his over-exaggerated sense of self-importance. He's a master with the Liberal News Medias help in diverting attention from the fact of his vast and many failures to exploiting sensationalistic cosmetic issues of shallow and insignificate importance. It's sad and pathetic that this person not only will be re-elected by the ignorant naive masses, but that they elected this incompetant individual in the 1st place. A peron who by his own merit would never have qualified for or pass a National Security Clearance, but yet this national disgrace is President

                        "I’ve done more for Israel’s security than any President ever."

                        "I will not rest until the BP Oil Spill stops" - then he went on vacation.

                        "I will cut Deficit in half by end of my first term."

                        "I had a uncle who was one of the, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps."

                        "I have visited all 57 states."

                        "My father served in World War II."

                        the interview with obummer and letterman has already been taped lol that statement was made on tv news a couple of hrs ago. as for obummer 'representing the whole country' that is a crock of crap!! he only represents the extreme left wingers and the ones too lazy to work. as for those who wont work - plan to u bums!! we are tired of supporting u. illegals - go home, we cant afford u any more & our bums need those jobs, yes even the ones they say no one wants - they are gonna have to work if they want to eat.

                        obummer is dishonest when he says anything other than the fact that he is a socialist and a muslim. he said right at the beginning when he was running the first time that he was going to redistribute the wealth of this country & he sure has been trying to do that. his obummer care is going to do it even more!! anyone who doesnt believe that better go check in with the toothfairy and the easter bunny. even his co-horts are dishonest - the one who taped romney's private funraiser had to be. that tape is months old & being released now?? come on ppl, get with it.., guaranteed to be 'spliced' and adjusted for sound bites - as we all know they are the dems speciality.

                        the media has proved over and over that obummer is their darling boy. only in their eyes & polls is he the front runner. find some honest polls - if u can - guarantee romney is ahead by a lot...

                        on election night - run it fair. do not release ANY returns until the last poll closes in Hawaii !! see who wins then... but it wont happen. will be like nixon and kennedy. nixon got on the plane as president elect according to the votes, got off the loser.... i bet if there was an honest recount, obummer didnt win 4 yrs ago... as someone else said, he has no business in the white house. he isnt a citizen anyway, no matter where he was born, he was adopted, & that changed his citizenship..still aside from that - VOTE THE O-BUM OUT IF U LOVE THIS COUNTRY AT ALL !!!

When asked about the economy his answer was to do NOTHING! Just let the capital that people are holding come back into the economy. Those snakes. And who is the leader and who is the pretender. Someone said surely this tape was made up cause nobody would actually say that stuff. And be that ignorant and stupid. Wrong. Romney is there plain as day and doesn't even pretendhe didn't say it. You guys have no room to talk about anything at all! If you didn't realize this is what Romney is like, watchthe tape.

The prime minister was aked to clearified and he DID just that. So shut..it about Obama not meeting Israel Prime minister. And he went went on saying that there isn't any meeting set with the president at least not for now.

                        The fact of the matter here is repubilcans needs to bring some mature leaders, so far i have not seen any. I love MCcain but he brough Sarah Palin and embarassement to the society. "Mitt has the tendency to shoot fisrt and aim later" rememebered that quote from Obama? its so truth.

Point being, although they have obviously met, in times of crisis you don't go on Letterman(complete idiot), you talk to your ally when they are "begging" you for help here.

                        Romney has always shown that people are more important to him than money. Obama writes off his own family, while Mitt has given millions to people he doesn't even know, and has tried to keep it a secret. Who do you think you are fooling, besides yourself?

                          ryanwin. Tell me one time when Romney thought people were more important than money. Maybe corporations that are people. And btw do you know how much Obama has given to charity to people he don't even know.Do you know how many people he has actually helped get out of poverty. You see it helps to have been in poverty to instruct someone how to get out of poverty. That leaves Romney and Ryan out on the curb.They both had wealthy parents. In fact the reason Obama went into politics was to help people. Can you say why Romney did. We know that Ryan did because of Atheist Ayn Rand, the Russian atheist. And as I used to be a republican we had a saying that said give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. I would like to know in the missing Romney/Ryan plan where the teaching comes in. They want to cut education and you are snob if you even think about going to college because everyone shouldn't go. Instead they say get a job. Okay so if they have no boat to fish, you say get a job. What if there is no job. Blame Obama? But then wouldn't they say well go borrow the boat from your parents. And if they don't have one which they won't or you would have one like Romeny and Ryan do because they got it from their parents, they say you are on your own. Quit being lazy. GEt a job. Either way I do not believe in helping anyone because that is what Ayn RAnd told me. Romney and Ryan are not typical republicans. They are on your own people that if you don't inherit from your parents I guess you just had bad luck and you starve. Can anyone tell me anywhere you have read where Romney or Ryan disagree with that. And furthermore you know all those programs where people don't pay taxes were mainly created by republicans. Romney and Ryan sure wouldn't have created them. Because their answer is get the stuff from your parents. I guess that means a lot of rich people should be adopting people. Otherwise how can that work? Romney and Ryan are both jokes. This video and ones regarding Ayn Rand and Ryan just confirm it loudly. I as a former republican will vote for the person more like the republican I used to know and that would be Barack Obama. HE cares about people instead of money.

                          Romney give money to people he doesn't even know?? Well he says he does and since we have not seen his taxes I guess we will have to take his word for it. Also, I guess we won't know who he receives money from either since Citizens United PACs do not have to disclose who they are.
