Obama is a communist. He wants the Government to control everything, and the people to depend on our Government for handouts. Go back to Kenya, liar. The only Change we have seen is: our Country going to hell since that forigner has tricked the week-minded Americans to vote for him into office.
Lets get a "Real American" in there who doesn't lie to our faces every chance he gets.

You wrote: "The only Change we have seen is: our Country going to hell since that forigner has tricked the week-minded Americans to vote for him into office." The country was already going to hell when Obama took office. As I said earlier, he has slowed or leveled off the downturn. Here is just one example, (These figures and dates are approximates. I don't have time to look up the exacts right now. If you don't believe my figures and want the exacts look them up yourself. They're public knowledge, they're out there) in October or November 2006 unemployment was below 5% (I think about 4.6%.) By the time George W. Bush left office in January, 2009, it was approximately 7.4%. The downturn had already started it's freefall. Before the Obama administration could put in measures to stop the freefall, it reached 10%. As of a couple of weeks ago, it was 8.1%. Under the policies of the Bush administration, unemployment went up over 5%. Under the Obama administration it has dropped almost 2%. No, it's not fixed, but at least the bleeding has stopped and the healing has begun.

20 some million out of work & they still want Union jobs that the taxpaying people pay for. Put about 18 million of them folks to work & the taxpaying Union jobs will fall into place. 18 million x's say even 1500.00 in Federal taxes a year would be a hell of alot.

Mitt Romney couldn't possibly be any more out of touch with the common American. He is an elitist through and through. He made his fortunes through leveraged buy outs where he took other wise healthy companies and sacked them full of crushing debt all so he and his wise guy cronies could rape untold millions from the deals. He made his fortune in a very, very dishonest and destructive way. You have no idea how bad the ass screwing will feel until we get a corporate sleazebag like Romney in office. His business model is quite possibly the biggest reason jobs began there exodus out this country in huge amounts beginning in the 1980's. These are facts. Do the research yourself or better yet read a book called "Barbarians at the gate" if you want to know how these company/job destroyers work.

ok, something has to be said here.
while it is clear you have a bias towards romney, that is your right. others may feel he can't be worse on a bad day than what we have.
still no matter what your bias is, there is no reason to propagate blatant lies.
from everything i have been able to find out about romneys business, it doesn't look like it was anything like you describe.
it seems romney's business was based on becoming involved with DISTRESSED companies that were in trouble, not based on hostile take overs of successful ones. romney's business also seems to have had a reported 78% rate of those business being successful. no one has total success, and i am sure that there were times when despite all efforts, a business was not successful. but that seems to be exception and not the rule.
i am not arguing that there are corporate raiders out there that do what you are speaking of. still as i said, it seems romney's company model was not what you say. as a matter of fact, it seems companies welcomed his association with them and a lot of them even asked him to be involved with them.
so while i am sure there are reasons to not like romney, i don't believe there is an excuse to blatantly lie.
happy race week end to you.
P.S. i don't mean to call you a liar to your face, i just realized how that sounded. sorry.
i understand you may just be ignorantly passing on the lies you have been told.
by the way didn't larson just come from the back to finish fifth i think at dover? nice run.
to indy and beyond!!

This type of thinking is what's most worrisome to me. The basic lack of understanding of things like "communism" and tired worn out bullshit like "lets get a Real American" is just plain disheartening. Its a sad reflection of the fact that too many people feel they have valid points even if its complete and utter crap. Turn off the Fox News and the Michael Wiener (Savage), that garbage is rotting what's left of your brain.

Do you think that the Obama hater give a shi#, or pay attention to "facts"?... I don't.
Sorry guy's, but there's not a snowballs chance in hell that Romney will be elected. But hey, cheer up, Hillary will probably be elected after his last term. Sleep tight..LOL

FOOD FOR THOUGHT, and then I'm out of here.
All that stands in our way (the people) of getting just for starters fair elections is 535 people. That's right, only 535.
There are 535 people in congress. Each state has 2 senators which is 100 and there are 435 representatives.
There are 535 members in the United States Congress.
435 100 in the senate (2 per state), the other half of congress is the house of representatives which is 335. The house is based on the state's population. These numbers when added make up the electoral college Take the state of Ohio for example there is 20 electoral votes for Ohio, 2 because of the senators, and the other 18 come from congressmen.
Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

I am a Kyle Larson fan, but I think an F1 car is probably just about the only thing (drag car? I'm sure there are others)) he can't simply jump in to & be competitive instantaneously. give him a couple weeks though... 
also, I'm not talking politics with a bunch of racing fans. you guys are nuts & way off-topic.
