    Obama is the WORST. Everyone should be ashamed and insulted that he believes Americans are so stupid they believe anything he says. Defeat Obama 2012.

    You're expecting to see it in Romney commercials or PAC commercials? I'm hoping, but that probably would be too easy. It would be smart, but it's so easy they probably won't get it.

    He is not smart enough to do it by himself, that is why he had to have 40+ extra people to help him I think they were henchmen that he called " CZARS " , So you know what a czar is ? no, well look it up in an older history book, if you can find one.

    Lol, you as well CC! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    Actually it's that I find the (more) option irritating (which unfortunately I am using this time, darn it) and, since you blocked me, I try to write my posts such that they can be read without having to scroll further, which causes me to delete my prior posts so that it will fit within the entire "box" without scrolling, just like I was writing to someone who hasn't blocked me. Of course if you hadn't blocked me it would all be moot (not that I expect you to take responsibility for that, you clearly indicated that's not your style) but, if my actions did cause you to clarify your post to bring forth authenticity and accuracy, happy to hear it!

    I understand that your character is contextual, as you would act here unlike you would in person, as you said you "don't consider ANY action on a social networking site such as SodaHead as being "brave" or "cowardly". I'm assuming other character traits also go out the window for you here. Honesty, morality, humility, courage, trustworthiness, etc. are all relegated to a different realm, I got it.

    I asked you to point out where I was a "braggart" on my profile, your lack of a response indicates that there was never anything there, so you lied. I understand, this is a social networking sight and you probably don't consider "ANY action on a social networking site" requires being truthful or accountable, so there is no need to be honest or factual, I got it.

    That type of thinking is what give folks free reign to be bullies of course, since there is no consequence, and total anonymity, one can chest thump to their hearts desire. Or name call "homely" or cower (by blocking). Unlike yourself I try and carry myself here, the way I would in person. It is unfortunate that "contextual character" runs rampant in here but (as my grandfather used to say) there it is.

    UPDATE #3 to sweet, homely chicago - I only respond to that which i choose to respond...If I don't respond, it does not imply that I am lying...But, that is your prerogative to think otherwise.

    I did not add that which you posted in your original post to my poll question for the sake of authenticating my poll question -- and neither did you post your original comment to authenticate it...You posted it to DISCREDIT it..But, it did not..lol

    And that is simply because the poll question is TRUE - exactly how I originally posted it.

    I added that which you posted in order to show that it did not make what was already ACTUAL -- an ACTUAL statement ( as your original comment asserted my post of Obama's QUOTE was NOT)..lol

    Finally, A braggart hardly ever realizes their own fault, but I am glad I have got you wondering...

    The best to you from your cowardly SH blocker, and real-life, lowlife, unaccountable, immoral, dishonest, untrustworthy scum...Woe is me!...lol

    Not only did I ADD to MY post what you thought YOU were adding in order to make my post to be an intentional, deceptive falsehood, but you actually DELETE the mistake YOU originally made...And without ever even acknowledging it.

    How funny...lol...No, sweet, homely chicago, I don't prefer to have dialogue with such a "balanced-thinker" as yourself...Apparently you can't even balance your own commentary enough to be willing to keep it up once you post it...The best to you, regardless.

    ______

    UPDATE #1 to chicago - I am glad my actions bring back some memories for you, but I don't consider ANY action on a social networking site such as SodaHead as being "brave" or "cowardly"...The importance that YOU choose to put on social networking participation is up to you, of course...The best to you my sweet homely chicago...lol.

    And someone told me you were a GREAT braggart on your profile...Uh oh, does that mean you are a merest COWAR -- Nah, not you!!!..lol

    ________________

    "Actual" words?...Uh, those ARE Obama's ACTUAL words...They MUST be in order to be called a QUOTE...lol

    The statements around the posted quote do not imply that Obama is AGAINST using such tactics in ANY way.

    If that had been so, I would have posted more information, or no information at all.

    It only shows that he is well aware of such political tactics, and will blame those tactics on others when he thinks it to be advantageous to him, and will USE those tactics when he thinks it will be advantageous to him.

    In a nutshell, Obama KNOWS, and USES these tactics.

    He also apparently dislikes them, BUT also LIKES them.

    I do thank you for pointing that double standard out, even though I doubt it was your intention.

    And I do realize your attempt of trying to appear as "balanced" and unbiased with your collective commentary across the site.

    But, please, spare me the political, self-righteous sainthood which I know you try to exude...lol

    I've dealt with you before via an old, now inactive SH account...We had a long, drawn out back & forth before we ended up the same way we are about to end up now.

    I really don't care for "moderates" on this site...I know, I know -- you call yourself a "Libertarian"...Sometimes, not much difference, if any...Sometimes a good bit of difference...With you, however, I would choose the former.

    Oh, and here is the entire speech transcript where Obama made the statement on which I zeroed in...Like I said, it does not change a thing about my poll question.

    On the broader question of Romney’s involvement with Bain during this time, we concur with Kessler’s conclusion. “The Obama campaign is blowing smoke here,” he says, adding “the weight of evidence suggests that Romney did in fact end active management of Bain in 1999.”Prime example

    Dirty, dirty, dirty............. he has never won a campaign without dirty tricks. Go back
    and check his record. Check to see how he won the US Senate seat after losing
    the first time he tried. And we all know how he won the POTUS..... Some of us
    more-so than others, who were smitten and had stars their eyes, by the romance of electing a Black POTUS and bamboozled by the rhetoric. But down deep we
    all know my avatar is appropriate and correct.
