keep talking IMA, remind everyone what the real problem is: RIGHT WING NUTS like yourself. Obama was vetted and even thought you tea partier conspiracy theorists couldn’t ‘make up’ enough crap, he was vetted even by you. Try living in a democracy. Your guy lost, Obama won. If you’re a true American then try to work with the system. If not go somewhere else.
I wish they had just given some of the billions of dollars they spent on flyers and TV hate commercials to me so I could have used the money for something useful. Like cat food.
…and, Darren, in 2012 Obama had more experience in elected office than Mitt Romney. But I guess that doesn’t count, because as a secret foreigner, he wasn’t really president… the cartoon is very funny, by the way, and shows about the depth of understanding being brought to the issue. I like when Hispanic Republicans stand up and say “what we need to do is moderate our message on immigration” and the same old white guys say “No, no, that’s not it. We just need to communicate our positions better.”
I think Mr. Golfer’s point was that the amount of dollars spent on ads could have been put to better use, if only to pay down the debt a couple of billion. Every “little” bit helps.
It makes sense that Obama had more personal attacks, as Mr. Romney had no policies, only talking points. For example, in the first debate, he told us that his health insurance plan did not contain exclusions for pre-existing conditions, but that was right after he said that his plan was to abolish Obamacare and let the states deal with it.
For a second example, in the second debate he told us that government does not create jobs, right after he said he would create 12 million jobs.
Plus he told us that emergency room care was free.
And, once again, please tell me how many people on food stamps cost as much as Mitt’s tax deduction for dance lessons for his horse. Government gives to agribusiness by letting their cattle graze on federal land for pennies on the dollar charged by private ranches, and you can deduct costs for your corporate jet. There is government giving away money to everybody, whether we work, whether we deserve the salary we get….regardless. I’m happy to take it all away, but we should be evenhanded about it. I would rather a child born into poverty have a decent lunch at school than to pay for a CEO’s private jet maintenance.
If O had been vetted like all the Republicans he would have never even become a Presidential candidate in 2008.-Vetted? You mean like releasing tax returns?
Agree totally, President Obama won in both 2008 and in 2012. He IS the president of the USA, get over it ultra conservatives. Disagree with his and his administrations policies all you wish, but this constant carping about the man himself is not only not helpful to the US, it could even be construed as downright undemocratic, and in extreme cases even un American!
The Latinos have delivered a message to Obama: “You Owe Us”. Obama is not up for re-election so his behavior will be: “Nothing”.Republicans may realize that Latinos have values: Family, Church, Work Ethic, Build a Future. By working hard, Republicans can give Latinos what they want and get a landslide of Latino votes in 2014.
As someone who for many years relied on his memory to make a living I stand in awe of ansonia’s ability to recall verbatim a conversation he heard over 4 years ago.
So President Obama was not voted in as the POTUS of the US?
That would certainly be news to most Americans!
As for the last part of my comment, have you or Ima or any of the other ultra conservatives ever had anything even neutral (let alone good) to say about our current president?
The problem with the GOP is that they will try to co convince hispanics (and every other minority) to act like they do. That’s always been their problem.
Reasonable liberals and others disagreed with many of the policies of the GW Bush administration. But they never treated the man himself with anywhere near the contempt that I see ultra conservatives and even some just conservative posters treating President Obama on these boards.
In fact, GW Bush did do some good and even some very good things, and he himself was actually very likable (sorry, I can not say the same for Dick Cheney however).
But then, an analog clock that does not even run is correct twice each day!
If you can not say anything good about a president, then perhaps you should not say anything at all!!
“..without teleprompters”..you didn’t see the 2nd & 3rd debates?“Obama is not very smart”? Think you (or Palin) could teach law at the U. of Chicago? Come on….

Nope.[]The sad truth of the matter is that Palin had more time in elected office than Obama did.

Correction to my previous post: Romney, in the first debate, claimed his plan DID include an exemption for pre-existing conditions. I apologize.

When the GOP gets Rubio as the candidate and they try to force the Book of Genesis into our science classes, that should change their image.
