Listen to the Boss.

He knows who is working to help those that need it, and who is just going to help himself.

Born In The USA !!!

The Boss knows how to pick a winner!

By the way, an UNREGISTERED "voter" yesterday endorsed Romney ... Lindsay Lohan.

Obama / Biden 2012

You know your going in the right direction when "the boss" hops on your side.

"Baby he was born to run!!"

Bruce Springsteen "ROCKS" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dirtbag Harry "ASININE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Boss rocks on for The Boss. A total win-win arrangement!

I don't toss the term around loosely - thank you Boss!

Springsteen is an American Legend.

Your excellent comment!

.

Do you also notice good bird like 'Big Bird' is supporting the Democratic presidential nominee; and the bad bird - a vulture - IS the Republican Nominee (Mitt)?

People really need to know how to use and speak the English language if they want to be taken seriously!

No Repub will ever admit it but it just kills them that so many of our great entertainers are Dems and or Obama backers.. They like to call the Prez the "hollywood president" but you notice how gaga they go when any washedup singer comes out repub... can you say Ted "second ammendment solution" Nugent

John in Battle Creek: we will always have enough money for our young ,our elderly , single mother or dad and for our sick. the majority of tax money are wasteful spending. we need to stop helping every non profit organization including churches. In the church that I use to belong the pastor donated $250 thousand to his own church and then put it on his taxes as donation. Government should stop these tax write off. contribution of any kind should be eliminated.

gregorio057: Cheer up! Only your kids are like that, most aren't. Maybe you didn't get the message while they were growing up? They needed direction and apparently you closed your mind to THEIR needs. There's always a payback, good/bad/indifferent.

Today's kids have it rough, as do parents of today's kids. And from what I see, both sides are doing what they should be doing, growing up. WE have to be certain, tho, that their world is as stable as what we had and lost because of non-involvement. We'll be getting a start back when we re-elect President Obama. He wants for us what he wants for his family, stability. Only President Obama has the wisdom, patience and intelligence to pull it off. BTW, our deficit is down, unemployment is down, jobs are up, and the market it at 13 thou. Vote a straight Democratic ticket for all elections. OBAMA-BIDEN 2012

p.s. Thank you BOSS!!! you rock.

I don't know if it's just me but Ryan's head looked like it was screwed on in the debate, what's up with that ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? !!!! *** !!!!!!!!

Roadlesstraveled - your nickname says it all. You obviously haven't been much of anywhere, or seen anything of importance--if you have, none of it has penetrated your wee brain. Time to open your eyes, as Tom Petty so aptly phrased it some years ago.

I like the Boss. I have been to more than a handful of his concerts. Sad to see the passing of CC. Worse is to see people follow or sway because a guy can sing and play music. We all make a big mistake if we think people like the Boss or Cher or George are in the same boat as ourselves. You want to be rich... make a song millions will buy, act in a movie millions will see. If you do that you too can play the game at the top. Again I like Bruce but check into his farms. If you work for a living and believe if you CAN you SHOULD. Then perhaps you might want to do a little research and find out the small things which will make a difference to you and your family. One fact check: Obama is not taking 716 Billion from your own medicare. HE is telling the doctors that you (the doctor) will accept less in payment for the services you are providing at this time. I do medical billing and when that happens the Doctors of our clinic will cease to take those patients. And That's a FACT! So you will be covered, just no one to perform the service.

@ Pigotry:

Do you also notice good bird like 'Big Bird' is supporting the Democratic presidential nominee; and the bad bird - a vulture - IS the Republican Nominee (Mitt)?

Thank you! I know. He wants to fix the economy by "firing" Big Bird and give the money to gun manufacturers, or big oil executives.

Yeah, U got to listen to Da Boss...

Musicians and actors would not be my first pick for advice on who is best to lead our country. They have a right to campaign for any candidate they prefer just like the rest of us, but they still would not be my first pick for political advice.

I know this we use to have a really good charity program at our church but in the past 4 years people have given less and less. Our food pantry isn't full like it use to be. We are having to ask every week and it use to be we never had to ask people and businesses where donating food every week. Not now. We help those who are homeless. We have business leaders who have gone out of business or had to cut employees back to part time. We have doctors and nurses who are retiring early to get away from Obama Care.

Hey, Vivian-379841

.... We have doctors and nurses who are retiring early to get away from Obama Care.

But are we 'One Nation Under God'? I am sure your doctors have the freedom to retire...but as a nation...when more are doing well, we can do well. A real patriot believes in America - when more are doing better, more will be better.

.

It's exactly because the doctors you just mentioned that made it necessry to have health care reform nationally - because individually some doctors just want more profits, having forgot about service to patients which is as important, if not more.

.

the ObamaCare is promoting better market. Imagine when you have AMA has succeeded in limiting placements in medical schools to guarantee their selfish profits.

What Romney said was they were going to look at every program and ask "Is this program worth borrowing money from China and increasing our debt to China?"

@Pigotry, not anymore. We are judged by the color of our skin and our income ability.

P.Obama and Biden just threw Hillary, The State Department and the CIA under the bus to
cover Obama's butt on Benghazi.....

I wonder how much longer Bill is going to pretend to be enthusiastic for
someone he really can't stand ?!?!?!....He's watching Hillary's 2016 ambitions
swirling down the toilet....And it's Barry-O that just flushed her....

...cont. from #1.32...

.

the ObamaCare is promoting better market with time-tested exchanges to allow more customers - those being rejected by selfish doctors and insurers. Imagine when you have AMA has succeeded in limiting placements in medical schools to guarantee their selfish profits, making medical schools so expensive and so hard to get in. Don't tell me this is the result of market. NO, it's selfish medical profession that has ignored their humanitarian obligation to the larger society and wanted more obscene profits, artificially raising prices for medical care.

.

selfish...irresponsible...and self-destructive medical profession is not following market logic - government should come in and intervene. What's disappointing is the President has tried to please these selfish folks and did not get public option and single payer in the ObamaCare. But the ungrateful insurance companies and AMA have attacked the President ever since.

.

insurance are up

...continue from #1.36

.

The President has tried so hard to please everybody, giving mroe customers to the insurance companies with this ObamaCare reform. But ever since, health insurance companies have worked so hard to artificially raise health premium, hurting consumers and the President, making obscene profits for themselves, then blaming it on the president and his reform.

.

These jackarses - those insurers - that have raised premiums (unwarranted) to take unfair advantages of unsuspecting consumers and take advantages of the transitional phase of the healthcare reform.

@merry christmas 2010

springsteen isn't so popular because he makes music. many people make good music and don't share his kind of acclaim. springsteen is popular because of his musicianship, a unique voice and delivery AND for the content of his songs. they show an unusually thoughtful, respectful, kind, socially conscious human being.

the last quality is what gives his endorsement substance and value. if i had to be trapped in an elevator with a celebrity, i'd much rather be trapped with bruce than with "the donald".

Anyone who supports a candidate solely on the basis that he/she is endorsed by a celebrity is an utter moron. There is no hope for you and you don't deserve the right to vote. Everyone should decide which candidate to support based on his/her platform, not because of what some clueless celebrity thinks.

This country is doomed.

I now it's only been 4 years but I'm tempted to ask some of these posters if they're old enough to remember Bush. Only someone too young to remember 4 years ago could claim things are worse under Obama than Bush. Sorry right wingers you can't use averages but have to use what he left after the country ran 8 years as our president. Those who remember no it wasn't pretty.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Fleetwood Mac for Clinton 1992; 20 years later -

The Obama Boom of today and tomorrow is here, Bush Recession of Yesterday is gone.

Do any of the Democrats really understand why all these rich entertainers support Democrats? They have been out of touch with reality for so long... thats why.

Here's the thing,Gregorioo and the other Rommulans...

You say your son is a shrink? They say one definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome. Rommulus has surrounded himself with neocons and former bushies. We already KNOW where that road leads. We've been there . Remember??? We don't know where the Obama raod will lead, but the bush/Romney road leads to a train wreck. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT. WE HAVE BEEN THERE. Given that and given that Romney is the most shameless liar I've ever observed, even by political standards, this is really a no-brainer. I'm not in love with Obama but a vote for Romney is a vote for suicide.

You go bruce!!!

crystal, if you had a good point, i would listen.

Unemployment claims fell to their lowest level in 5 years. Unemployment rate below 8% and dropping...the big banks declared BIG profits last quarter. The real estate market appears to finally be headed north again. Jamie Dimon says the RE market has finally started to improve. As it goes, it will take the rest of the economy with it. The last 10-14 days have brought great news for all but Rommulus. You may hate Obama but his policies have finally taken root and the economy is starting to move.

Most celebrities have no idea what it takes to run a country. They sing a song and that is supposed to help decide who wins the election? Is there something wrong with everyones brain. Thats completely illogical, not to mention flat out stupid. Big Bird is so wealthy, he can support himself and PBS. He doesn't need donations from the government or anyone elsse. Furthermore, most people, even lifetime welfare recepients have cable t.v. and do not watch Big Bird anyway. Bill Clinton has stated over and over what a great businessman Romney is and is definitely qualified for the job. Hope is creating opportunity, not more welfare recipients. Hope is taking advantage of the Federal Pell Grant (FREE COLLEGE FOR LOW INCOME PEOPLE)and getting a degree that is NEEDED and WANTED at the time such as medical or computer technology. That grant is available to ALL people and guess what, if you are a so-called minority individual, you get first dibs. So, what is your excuse for not taking advantage of this great opportunity you have been given? Is this Romney's fault? Is this Bill Clintons fault? G.W. Bushs fault? Try this, it's your fault! It's there for you. Plus, fair and equal for all... I feel there should be a flat tax for everyone. Guess what, all of you who get the earned income tax credit back at the end of the year...will be gone. You see a person that pays in only $500 in taxes a year can get back thousands of dollars because the federal government put the earned income credit in to place to help. This is the government already taking millions from the wealthy to give to the less fortunate. How much more wouldyou like? This is what you consider fair? Very illogical minds not thinking things through, not paying attention to the FACTS. Not looking at all sides. Don't for a minute think I am wealthy. I am just above poverty level. I lost my job and did utilize assistance temporarily. Single mom of two children. I did what I had to do and in approximately 9 months, started a new career because of my hard work, effort and pride and with temporary assistance from the government. Government assistance is not there for ANYONE to ABUSE. It's there for emergency situations. I am proof that what Obama is telling many people in this country is not true! Degrading and demoralizing people into thinking there is no way possible for them to survive without the government is a flat out lie and very unbecoming of a President. He is not fit to be in office.He creates hate and causes people to dwell and think bad about themselves. He is not a leader.

So much for rooting for the "Boss" all those years. He used to be for the down trodden, wrongly done, etc. Too many years under the radar must have made his mind soft & severly mis-informed. This isn't what this candidate is really for! Shame on you Bruce! Giving & giving is just NOT the same as HELPING! I surely would have thought he would have known better. Go ahead & join the "spend it all right now dammmmittt, all on meeeeeeee group". Watch & see what happens when all these free freaking loaders find that one day it WILL dry up. Of course by then, the whole country will be so far gone, we'll find it will take generations to recover. And then, it will only be those who fight, once again, for the freedoms & best will of our nation, & children.

Be very, very careful people. What we choose today, does IN FACT impact TOMORROW!

Just another successful person who has figured out how to keep the money coming in. I think it is hilarious how these successful celebrities seem to support socialists like Obama. But, I think they do so for their own self-preservation. They figure their is more money in it for them to feign being a liberal socialist than being a conservative. Let's face it, if they support the dems then they get a free pass by the press. Look at Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. They are the epitome of everything the dems hate. Yet, because they spew a few lines about how they should be paying more taxes and support the dem candidates, their "sins" are forgiven. Of course, they are hypocrits, just like Moore is. After all, they've made their fortunes in the Captialist system that dems so decry. I wouldn't be surprised that they actually vote for repubs because they know that, as we are finding out, if socialists actually get their way, then that is bad for the country. So, the Boss continues to get the support and money of the left while getting it in a system created by the right.

Blue,

Lowest level in five years, are you serious or seriously brain damaged?

Do you get those talking points spoon fed to you in the nursing home? Every month, the numbers come out, and the next month they need to be readjusted for some reason or other, and it's never lower. Trust these numbers will be adjusted, after the election of course.

Obama's policies have taken root and the economy is starting to move -- even Biden would laugh his ass off at that.

Georgioo57, Bill Clinton didnt ignore the first attempt on the Trade Centers, they had the men who did it cpatured and in jail within a week and they are still in jail. Bush is the one who ignored all the warnings, he ignored the warnings before 9/11, he ignored the warnings before Katrina and he ignored the warning about Iraq not having WMD, in all three cases thousands of people died and Bush's buddies profited. Please stop trying to rewrite history.

Anyway the Boss is a bad asa who is still going strong, Nugent is a washed up reject who can only get gigs at county fairs.

From Thomas Blue "We don't know where the Obama raod will lead,"

Does this not present itself as a problem. For four years Obama has been President and we still do not know where it will lead. How is that transparency working that was promised. Did you really not know it was a terrorist attack on 9/11? Until the president said so 2 weeks later? Do you really feel he has your back? Have you read his books? If something happened to Obama is Joe going to treat Iran and China like he did Paul Ryan. How will that help the country. Do your homework, learn about the men. Understand the dealings of wall street. Why was any one able to get a house! Why was this encouraged. You want the rich to pay more in taxes, change the rules, loopholes. Don’t penalize knowledge. I live right outside DC. Do you know how good BIG Government has been for my home value!! Check the shiller report. Know the game.

I remember Bush standing on the rubble after 9/11. He was the right man then, slept a little better that night. I remember 10/07 and the months afterwards. Lost more than ½ of our savings. I still believe in myself and my family and would rather control both than be at the mercy of the government.

I thank everybody should listen to the words to born in the usa he does not love this country.and i used to like bruce went to his concerts but not any more.if you vote for obama you sell our country out.watch fox news to hear the real truth.i am very worry for our country.o buy the way chuck norris is a true american

So much for rooting for the "Boss" all those years. He used to be for the down trodden, wrongly done, etc. Too many years under the radar must have made his mind soft & severly mis-informed.

WHOS THERE: Clearly no one of substance is there as your lack of logic is astounding. You claim supporting a democrat is no longer showing concern for the poor and downtrodden as if supporting Romney is. Are you insane? The party that wants to dump all social programs on the states and reduce funding for them all by 20% regardless of need shows concern for the poor? The 47% that you and Romney consider freeloaders include the elderly many of whom have paid far more over their lifetime than you ever will with many never living to see a fraction of what they've paid into social security back. It also includes many military who pay no taxes as part of their pact for fighting for our country. You blame democrats for taking and spending others money but ignore the 300 billion for Bush's drug plan crafted by Ryan thats' unfunded. Guess who pays for that and the 2 unfunded wars? The Boss get's it but you clearly don't. You talk about concern for the poor and downtrodden on one hand then spout off about the freeloaders taking your stuff the next. You're a fool, a liar and a hypocrite.

Tina's.....Well said!

First: Programs are there for a reason....to help those who NEED it, and have PAID into it, and DESERVE it, and will BENEFIT from it....NOT A CRUTCH!

Second: A country, any country CANNOT bear the burden of thousands & thousands who have the mentality of whooo, hoooo, hooray for me....watch me "rape" this system while I collect monies from the flippin morons.... that would be US..... the USA. Shame on those who just "feel warm & fuzzy" about throwing our hard earned monies away, while the TAKERS just keep on taking & laughing like it is just too dang easy...and still learn NOTHING! Thanks sooo much: PRES. , CONGRESS, SENATE, & ALL THE REST OF YOU BOO HOO-ERS! So damn easy when it's not really YOUR monies, huh? HAND UP,,,,not hand OUT! AND I cannot afford to raise all the children YOU keep having!! But then again, that IS your lifeline to the easy life in the US.

Third: STOP, STOP the illegals! As it is, we can't even take care of our own!

I worked for 35 yrs, non-stop. Made a good living, paid my taxes, paid all my bills, loved my family, friends, was a good neighbor, obeyed all the rules, was a model citizen. Never made the "Forbes" list, never wanted to anyhow.

Laid off after 20 yrs on the last job. Because of age, (early 50's) "perceived" "possible" health problems down the road driving up insurance claims, I am just about a throw away at this point. SO many out of work certainly gives those who are hiring the benefit of choosing from so many. Cheaper & younger.

SO, I ask: Are we getting BETTER, BIGGER, & STRONGER?

OR: Are we just getting weaker & more DILUTED?

Tinas unbiased views, (sarcasm)

Big Bird and all the muppets are now owned by Disney.

Celebrity 1%ers usually come from humble backgrounds, and they remember the struggle before they 'made it.

80% of all super pac money comes from only 196 persons. They want to buy this election and get their 20% tax cut, and gut regulations that that cost their business money. They won't care if the air is gray like Beijing's, profit trumps everything.

Larry, Larry. NEVER did I say anthing about Republican or Democrat. That would be your word. No, I am neither a liar or a cheater, and how you could ever, ever glean that from my post is puzzling to me... are you a mind reader in disguise, or in this case a type reader in disguise? Irregardless of how I register, I vote for the BEST candidate in the end in my opinion!

In regard to the elderly & service men & women comment: My father was in the Navy. I had 3 brothers in the Army & 1 brother in the Marines. My father fought in the war as well as 2 brothers. One brother did not make it home, he was 19. Do NOT tell me about how I feel about the service men & women! And by the way....they DO file taxes every year just as ALL Americans do!

As for the elderly, I feel today, just as I always have that we take care of our own, and always will.

Yes they paid into the system....MY WHOLE FLIPPIN POINT! They pay in, they take out.

What has ruined it is the PRES & CO has decided, along with other pee-brains, that it's there for everyone....whoo, hooo, party for those who wanna vote for me.

STOP, STOP, STOP the ILLEGALS! SHOOT THAT FLIPPIN MONKEY ON OUR BACKS!

Merry christmas,

I remember Bush in a kids classroom, frozen after the plane hit the second tower. Did he soil himself, (or was everything going according to plan). He always wanted to be a War President and that is a common theme with those republicans who seek the presidency.

Celebs have a right to voice an opinion like everyone else.When entertainers endorse a political candidate it can be a double edge sword, not only for the candidate but for the entertainer as well. Celebrities when rational promote a positive outlook for the candidate and visa versa. When they're irrational they become a liability., this works both ways too.

I wonder if any candidates have ever admonished endorsements from lunatics such as Nugent ?

I guess you have to take the good, bad and the ugly when your running for public office. In the private sector that's not as much the case. Which leads me to my next question.

How dumb is it for businesses to jump into the endorsement game? Talk about burning bridges! When ever I see companies doing this a red flag goes up and I question the leadership abilities and intelligence level of the Ceo's or owners. As smart as it is to keep a separation of church and state it's equally important in my opinion to do the same in most business scenarios. Now if your selling three corner hats or bumber stickers that's another story.

From the comments by the rwnj's about celebreties someone, they must be thinking about the "empty head" talking to the "empty chair" at the Repug convention. I don't blame you for not liking celebrity endorsement after seeing that.

Obama/Biden 2012

4more for 44

How Ironic I have never understood the entire gaga over Springsteen either.... go figure birds of a feather. No use for either of them. Four and done.... we can only hope.

Another one of Obama's rich buddies.

I remember Bruce campaigning for John Kerry and you all know the end result.

Both Candidates came prepared with their ideology & rhetoric. And Paul Ryan tried to go the Mitt Romney route early on with interruptions, trying to bully the Moderator & answering a question with a mini-stump speech. But Joe Biden was having none of that . and in essence, Biden opened up a can of whoop-donkey on a Ryan who came across as cocky and SCHOOLED him with experience, practicality and facts of the points/accusations made by Ryan.Last week, Conservatives pounced on & praised Mitt Romney for his Style and this week, they are complaining about Joe Biden for doing the same thing except Biden's performance was loaded with facts, truth and context. Joe Biden came across as passionate about the average American man & woman with the type of ease and swagger that could only be described as AVERAGE JOE! That's where style counted. Winner - Joe Biden

Never listened to his bubble gum music anyway so I really don't give a rats azz.

Isn't "The Boss" a one percenter? I like his music but don't give a whit who he or any other self absorbed star wants for president. If they're really concerned about the poor and down trodden they can live on a paltry million a year and give the rest to charity. But I'm sure he doesn't think he should give up ANY of his money. Bruce and his ilk want the government to take it from eveyone else.

Look at who is endorsing the repubs, Ted Nugent, Donald Trump, and Clint Eastwood. Now Lindsay Lohan has decided to support Romney, although she hasn't yet decided to register. Of course that's why they are decrying the celebrity endorsements. Maybe they can get Lindsay out to campaign for Romney in between her rehab stays.

I think only a fool would vote for someone based on a celebrity endorsement, but I also think someone like Bruce can maybe get some people more excited about voting.

Bruce "The Boss" is a multi millionaire

Why isn't Jay Z and Beyonce bouncing around in Ohio? ( Like I would ever care what uneducated actors and musicians think about politics. )

Just remember Obama was all into SOPA and he tries to protect the Hollywood moguls that want to infringe on your internet rights. There is a method to the madness.

janice: Thanks! I was waiting to see if anyone realized that before I commented on it. It's funny how there are a number of songs that don't mean what people commonly think they mean just because they don't use their brains to figure out what they really do mean.

Janice,

If you think you can find the truth on Fox news then you are lost and beyond medical help. Foxitis is insidious.

watch fox news to hear the real truth.

o buy the way chuck norris is a true american

I personally think one needs multiple sources to determine truth on any matter now a days. NPR does a good job of that. NV does a good job of that.

Endorsements of any kind carry consequences and risks that can potentially change peoples perception of you in an instant. Good bad or otherwise. Anyone who publicly endorses a brand or individual must be prepared to except the consequences of that decision and yes this includes voting . That is a public endorsement though most times confidential and one that only your conscience knows if your true to yourself. If you endorse a god do you mirror his values? Is your endorsement from the heart or motivated by other factors such as monetary gains, fear, intimidation. etc.? Unfortunately some individuals have no conscience and are motivated by my last examples, And yes their vote counts like it or not.

Hmmm, I'm wondering if there is anything that I have to do Thursday. I think I'll take a drive up to Parma...

I'll take more than 4 more years of the Boss, 6 more years of Senator Sherrod Brown, and 4 more years of President Obama.

Looks as if Christie the Hut is going to an Obama rally!!!

Story telling and songs to help remember those stories are the oldest form of recorded history. They are just as crucial today as they ever were. They take us back to where we used to be before we got old, self-centered and set in our ways. Many of us refuse to ever get that old. They call us progressives and liberals.

Conservative Republicans are the ones to promise a return to the good old days. They use scare tactics to reverse the many accomplishments that have lifted many of our own out of misery. The days before Medicare that now allow the elderly life-saving health care instead of choosing between food or medication. The days before Social Security that left the elderly eating out of trash cans. The days before SNAP and free lunch programs that allow hungry children to focus on education instead of hunger pains. The days when women had no choice and no voice in governmental affairs. They long for the days when personal responsibility applied only to the race for great wealth instead of responsibility to others in the community and our entire nation to lift us all. All of this to allow people like Romney a $20M annual income that pays nothing in income taxes instead of the paltry 14% he paid last year.

I don't want to go back. I'm old enough to remember that the good old days were not good old days at all. I want to go forward to even better days than today. That is why I'm proud to be called a progressive and a liberal. Words that are spoken in disdain by those pushing fear to seek even more great wealth and power. Words that are spoken in disdain by those that are cowering in fear by the lies of vultures.

Bill Clinton has stated over and over what a great businessman Romney is and is definitely qualified for the job.

Correction: Clinton said that Romney was qualified to be president. However, there are only 2 qualifications to be a president: 1) natural born citizen, and 2) be at least 35 years of age.

Based on the Constitution, then yes, Romney is qualified to run for president.

Hope is creating opportunity, not more welfare recipients. Hope is taking advantage of the Federal Pell Grant (FREE COLLEGE FOR LOW INCOME PEOPLE)and getting a degree that is NEEDED and WANTED at the time such as medical or computer technology. That grant is available to ALL people and guess what, if you are a so-called minority individual, you get first dibs. So, what is your excuse for not taking advantage of this great opportunity you have been given? Is this Romney's fault? Is this Bill Clintons fault? G.W. Bushs fault?

If you do some research you will see that George W. Bush cut Pell Grants during his presidency, and Paul Ryan has further cuts under his budget plan.

I have personally benefited from Pell Grants and vividly recall in 2001 when my Pell Grants were denied under Bush.

Fortunately, I was able to stay in college and get my Bachelor's degree, largely due to federally subsidized loans (with some unsubsidized loans) and thanks to Obama I was able to go back to school and get my Master's Degree funded in large party by subsidized loans.

I am now much better off than I ever was under the Bush Administration.

Don't for a minute think I am wealthy. I am just above poverty level. I lost my job and did utilize assistance temporarily. Single mom of two children. I did what I had to do and in approximately 9 months, started a new career because of my hard work, effort and pride and with temporary assistance from the government. Government assistance is not there for ANYONE to ABUSE. It's there for emergency situations. I am proof that what Obama is telling many people in this country is not true! Degrading and demoralizing people into thinking there is no way possible for them to survive without the government is a flat out lie and very unbecoming of a President. He is not fit to be in office.He creates hate and causes people to dwell and think bad about themselves. He is not a leader.

Tina, you are being extremely hypocritical. You admit to using Government Assistance, but then degrade the president who made it possible to utilize those programs. Would you prefer to be laid off and have no other means of assistance whatsoever?

Neither the President or the Democratic Party want anyone to be dependent upon the Government; but instead they want to ensure that the programs and security will be there to lean on should you need help.

And before you cast aspersions regarding creating hate, please remember that it was the Republicans who met in not-so-secret the night before Obama's inauguration and pledged to obstruct any plan or proposal he presented. In fact, the Minority Leader of the Senate boasted on the record that their #1 priority was to make Obama a one-term president.

So please, tell me, who is the one that is creating hate and division? The President that has sought compromise? Or the Minority Party that has undermined nearly ever proposal the Majority Party has presented?

roadlesstraveled: this is just insane....I cant believe how many people just vote for a celebrity....your votes are not for Obama, they are for his pets (err celebrity)....

Yet, all the right-wing lowlifes were pissing themselves for days over Clint Eastwood.

Short memory? Or are you just another right-wing pathological liar

oh good this is what an election has come down to what celeb is backing which candidate.comon people lets start getting back to who will do the best job! you people follow your partys like you have no mind of your own. its gotten to the point of who has the most money or the most bs. the best guy for the job will never be elected because people cant think on their own. america is becoming a joke! instead of coming together you people are just pushing away with all your nasty name calling and remarks. we are a better nation than this . grow up!

Nice gesture, but I still cannot understand a word that comes out of his mouth.

Fox is a Disgrace to news, Sean Hannity destroyed the network !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regarding Obamacare, Vivian said this of doctors seeing patients:

We are judged by the color of our skin and our income ability.

Uhhh, Vivian, that is against the law. We do have discrimination laws in this country. It is against the law to deny care based on the color of a person's skin.

It is also against the law to deny care based on the ability of a person to pay. That law is called EMTALA (look it up), and every place that provides healthcare is required to follow this law or be fined.

So much for your argument.

Smlfry2 surely you jest... why is it that every application you fill out it wants to know your ethinicity. Government has mandated inequality in hiring based on the need to mandate a certain percentage of minorities get hired, qualified or not. Exactly where is the fairness and unbiased in that? It is racism at it's best condoned by our government and created by Jessie and company. And you think it won't wind up in healthcare as well???? Seriously? You people are just ignorant and blind enough to buy into it... until one day you figure out you have totally screwed yourselves. A vote for Obama is just another foot in the grave of the US. If he gets in you will find out by the end of his term.

@ Jersey Grl...

Well done...spoken like a true RWNJ. When you can't dispute the numbers, just attack the messenger. What color is the sun in your world, baby?

Blue,

Lowest level in five years, are you serious or seriously brain damaged?

Do you get those talking points spoon fed to you in the nursing home? Every month, the numbers come out, and the next month they need to be readjusted for some reason or other, and it's never lower. Trust these numbers will be adjusted, after the election of course.

Obama's policies have taken root and the economy is starting to move -- even Biden would laugh his ass off at that.

Those STATISTICS, not talking points, were reported on every major news channel Friday. Maybe not Faux, but they're not major. It must be painful to see outside groups with no axe to grind reporting favorable numbers. It's amazing and disappointing to see Eeyores like you and your fellow repugnicans hoping for bad news and being angry at good news. Realty Trac says that the RE market is now finally heading into positive territory. Are they partisan? I don't think so. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is non-partisan and extraordinarily secretive and staffed with career lifers that don't show partisanship. Furthermore, an attempt by Obama or his people to falsify these numbers would be an impeachable offense that could and should land you in prison. Kinda like Richard Nixon. Remember him? I bet you do. These numbers are all easily researched. Do some homework, Eeyore. Have a nice day, sweetheart.

I believe you have to know Springsteen's music to understand the importance of his endorsement. I would find it hard to believe he performs for the money. That would be Romney. Bruce is more forthe love of music. You can listen to Bruce Springsteen and tell he understands the United States and where his heart is. He is but one person voicing his opinion.

Who do you think has a better understanding of American lives. Mitt or Bruce?

@merry christmas 2010

Does this not present itself as a problem. For four years Obama has been President and we still do not know where it will lead. How is that transparency working that was promised. Did you really not know it was a terrorist attack on 9/11? Until the president said so 2 weeks later? Do you really feel he has your back? Have you read his books? If something happened to Obama is Joe going to treat Iran and China like he did Paul Ryan. How will that help the country. Do your homework, learn about the men. Understand the dealings of wall street. Why was any one able to get a house! Why was this encouraged. You want the rich to pay more in taxes, change the rules, loopholes. Don’t penalize knowledge. I live right outside DC. Do you know how good BIG Government has been for my home value!! Check the shiller report. Know the game.

I remember Bush standing on the rubble after 9/11. He was the right man then, slept a little better that night. I remember 10/07 and the months afterwards. Lost more than ½ of our savings. I still believe in myself and my family and would rather control both than be at the mercy of the government

I just loving dealing with reich-wing pseudo-intellectuals. It's like being in an as-kicking contest with a one-legged man. You post is so silly and convoluted, it's hard to know where to start in addressing it.

Let's start with your Boy George Bush. You felt better seeing Boy George sit in shock like a deer in the headlights? You need help,dude. Furthermore, he was warned by Clinton's outgoing administration that OBL was a severe threat. He ignored it. He and his people ignored repeated warnings and red-flags leading up to 9-11. Bush spent half of that 8 months between his coronation and the attack "working" on his "ranch". If he had been doing his job, this could likely have been averted. But at least you felt good. That's what's important. As far as having control, do you remember who signed the Patriot Bill? Control? Really?

As to Joe Biden's aggressiveness, you must be joking. You're okay with a jackass cowboy wannabee like bush and support idiots like Rmoney who is beating his chest about Syria and the ME but you're worried about Biden???? Are you really this stupid or just pretending for me?

And I daresay, Sparky, that I understand the economy as well as you. As usual, you're just another condescending RWNJ who assumes that anyone who disagrees with you or points out evidence that refutes your shallow thinking is ignorant or stupid. Look in the mirror. I read constantly. I also read that the shrub's own Sec of Treasury advised him and Cheney against the second tax cut and they ignored him. All three were together when informed of the passage and he stated that " we just destroyed the US economy." And yet fools today -like you- want to act like you know more than he did and want to blame Obama. The Obama road looks pretty good right now- it's headed in a good direction and the fact that Jamie Dimon hates Obama is a good thing, IMO. I suspect that you're the one who needs to read and stop the hate. The blacks have arrived. And Latinos are next. Get over it. Your day has come and gone. You and Rmoney are dinosaurs. Lay down.

I'm glad someone brought up the fact that Lindsey Lohan was on the celebrity shows and saying, "not sure yet, but right now it's Romney".

What the h#** does this chick know about politics. She isn't even registered to vote so she needs to zip it and worry more about her mothers relationship and cocaine use. Then calls for her fathers help. The next day, Mom and Lindsey have everything all patched up and Dad is the one being thrown under the bus. It was over money. I imagine she asked Dad for money, he said no, Mom finally came through and then all was well. This family can't even keep their own house in order so I don't think anyone should be taking political advice from any of these yahoo's. And certainly not Lindsey flippin' Lohan. Good grief. Who is she a role model too?

Obama/Biden 2012

Another "entertainer" that earns their MILLIONS off of others..... no wonder he likes Obama..........

Maybe the BOSS can teach obama to be a leader.

Love the Boss!!!!!!!! But this blue-collar, Vietnam Vet is voting for Romney/Ryan!

Screw the 1% out-of-touch entertainers. Obama fits in well with that crowd.

Bruce Springsteen will hit the campaign trail on President Barack Obama's behalf.

I always listen to the Boss.

Like Bruce's endorsement will make any difference, not a chance. Both he and Obama suck. I've never cared for his music, even the 1st time around.

Great, one has been supporting another. Next subject.

If anybody is a closet gay person, it has to be Paul Ryan.

Standing in line, are you? Is that jealousy talking? You're wasting you time, bud.

You want gay? Gander at Ryan, hair piece and all. Just don't tell anyone.

And btw who cares. WE support LGBT. Equality for all! except maybe a few repub/tpartiers.

Bruce Springsteen is close to get out of the closet and accept that he is gay, very proud about it and very soon he will marry his boyfriend. Bruce, next you are going to join the San Francisco Ballet...

Typical right wing response. You do realise if the only people who voted republican were the straight white males you accept as real Americans you couldn't get a dog catcher elected right? I've heard the right wingers on these posts refer to anyone who disagrees with them as gay, homos, fagots, chinks, wetbacks, lesbians etc. I've heard our president on these blogs called a ni**er, eggplant, Muslim, Monkey, communist, socialist and more. You never understand when you post those types of comments and spew hate instead of reason why you can't get people to see things the way you do. The truth is the rest of us have no desire to see as you do.

Jay Goes Down Below; a Log Cabin Republican are ya? That would help explain the confusion in your posts.

@midnight,ORC and Jay

I served in the first Gulf War with 2 guys in my platoon who were gay and I guarantee they could knock all three of your pathetic,homophobic asses out in no time flat. You and the traitorous scumbags who booed Stephen Hill at that GOP debate all have one thing in common...

...you can hate gays and lesbians all you want,but at the end of the day YOU'RE the faggots.

My friends,and I have several and cherish every one of them,in the LGBT community know what I mean by that.

Thank God your kind is coming to an end.

Godspeed and rot in Hell.

Sheesh!

The truth is that Barney Frank appears to be very comfortable in his sexuality while the suspicion continues to grow in mainstream circles that Paul Ryan appears anything but (no pun intended).

'Gay-dar,' that unscientific yet often surprisingly accurate instinctive identifying response that nearly all gay and many straight people claim to possess, especially younger, more sophisticated, and generally cosmopolitan (urbanized) women, often rings off the hook whenever they scan either staged or candid photographs of Paul Ryan, hear him speak without seeing him, or see him in person or on videotape without actually hearing him.

Not that our instincts prove to be correct 100% of the time, but that is why they're called instincts.... because many times they DO prove to be correct.

No one that I know believes Paul Ryan to be exclusively homosexual, no more than they believe that he is exclusively heterosexual. In short, they suspect that he is more likely a closeted bisexual, having created for himself thus far an enormously successful public life while navigating the complex waters of an apparently equal successful family life....alongside his other 'interests'.

So where does that leave us? Does it matter one iota what sexual preferences a candidate might possess? Well, for Democrats, as a rule, no; for many Republicans, however, yes, very much so.

There is a significant element of the Republican Party which supports limitations on protected social equivalencies for millions of Americans from the LGBT community.

There is a growing element of the Republican Party which truly believes that sexual orientation is a choice rather than a biological imperative (Bachmann, et al) which somehow can be 'corrected' ("Pray away the gay").

There is a smaller but highly-committed element of Christian fundamentalists in the Republican Party which not only supports but actively promotes the lawful and literal extermination (yes, the outright execution) of LGBT Africans in the nation of Uganda (social engineering taken to the extreme, a la Nazi Germany).

For Paul Ryan to continue to appeal to this conservative Republican base, he has no choice but to publicly embrace many of these extremist social positions. Who is to say how many he might be embracing in
private, while at the same time, perhaps, living the lie?

It is this increasingly contradictory perception of Paul Ryan which unsettles so many in the roll-up to the election. While we may remain perfectly capable of supporting a conservative Republican nominee, and while we may remain equally capable of supporting a closeted bisexual politician, it is proving rather difficult to support a conservative Republican nominee who, while publicly embracing extremist political and social positions, might one day prove to have been a closeted bisexual all along.

Might have figured gay rights would eventually take place in these comments. Do you really know if any of these people are gay? And does it really matter? Obama changed from against gays to approving of gays when he decided it would help him in the election -- just like he all of a sudden decided to let the illegal immigrants stay in our country.

I feel no one has any right to call someone gay or bisexual without proof of same. This is showing a lack of class when you call Ryan "gay" and "bisexual" with no proof. Same with Springstee -- do you have proof he is gay? If so, what does it matter? You libs need to prove that you have a brain and care about someone other than yourselves. And you think only Republicans are against gays. Let's try the "live and let live" theory.

Take them meds!!! Please
