Our Disgraceful President
Barack Obama has done nothing but try to turn American against American based on income and accomplishment. He’s done nothing but sit silently by, smirking, while his defenders, allies, surrogates and staff have called Americans who disagree with him racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes, rednecks, idiots, Uncle Toms and anything else you can call someone when you can’t rebut what they say with facts or accomplishments.
Silence while disgraceful words are spoken on your behalf is just as disgraceful as uttering them yourself, which, of course, makes Barack Obama a disgraceful president.
When his attorney general isn’t dodging subpoenas and being held in contempt by Congress, he’s calling anyone who thinks we should have to present a photo ID to vote a klansman. MSNBC, a network that seems to exist only to parrot the president’s line, unsurprisingly gets praised by the White House. This is unity?
The White House has to use and condone this because the alternative is reality, and reality is not Barack Obama’s friend.
The administration of Barack Obama embodies the worst characteristics of the worst Presidents in our history – the abuse of power, the incompetence, the laziness, the bigotry, the disinterest, the dishonesty, the arrogance. The reason he’s still personally popular is the same reason we know the names Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Perez Hilton or that TMZ exists – A large portion of our culture now celebrates what it used to shun, cheers that which used to drive people into hiding and rewards existence over accomplishment.
That’s why the media parrots and trumpets attacks on Mitt Romney’s incredibly successful private-sector record but ignores President Obama’s public-sector failures. How people can question what Romney does with his own money but ignore Obama wasting literally trillions of ours is disgraceful. That President Obama would sanction the charge is worse.
November could not be more important, and it cannot come quickly enough.

So do we miss him yet?
Tell me another funny one...
The GSE's weren't the problem, deregulation was and the GOP wrote both bills and supported them as did the Dems... GLB and the CMFA...
It is not so much what Romney does with his money, but how he got that money by selling America down the drain.
He is a crook from the word go. He reeked havoc in Massachusetts, was a prime mover in outsourcing American jobs, and has three different stories about it depending on what group he is trying to con.
What a Crock of Cr*p!
K-B toys:
"... KB Toys was purchased and taken private in 2000 by the leveraged buyout firm of Bain Capital for $305 million, Bain announced the purchase on Dec. 8, 2000. Only $18 million of the purchase money was cash, the rest was borrowed against the assets of the company. Sixteen months after the buyout, Bain Capital paid itself $85 million in dividends (a 372% return on their investment) in 2002. Two years later, due to increasing competition from national discount chains such as Wal-Mart and Target and its enormous debt, on January 14, 2002, K·B Toys filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed 365 stores.
The K·B Toys brand and related intangible assets were sold by Streambank LLC to Toys R Us on September 4, 2009, for a reported $2.1 million. Because K·B Toys' 460 stores had been closed and liquidated, the sale applies mainly to the company's logo, website, and trademarks/intellectual properti...

Romney is a crook and he sold American companies for scrap (and their workers with it) all for the glorious dollar to be made on foreign manufacturing.
In Florida:
Dade Behring and Bain Capital
1994: Bain Capital acquires a division of Baxter International called Dade, a medical device maker with roots in Florida. In 1997, additional Bain acquisitions result in Dade Behring, based in Illinois.
$7 billion: How much Dade Behring sold for in 2007 to Siemens, which renamed unit Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
850: Number of layoffs at two Dade Behring plants in Miami in November 1997.
$420 million: Payout to Romney and other bain shareholders in 1999.
$1.5 billion: Debt Dade Behring had when it entered bankruptcy in 2002.

"... The Romney campaign is referring to jobs created through venture capital deals and are tallying up all of the jobs created at those companies even though their investment accounts for a very small portion of the investments made, and they are generally taking credit for jobs created well after Mitt Romney 'left' Bain and well after Bain pulled out of these deals (mid 2004). On the other hand, when defending against attacks over outsourcing and massive layoffs, the Romney campaign often absolves itself by citing Romney's departure' in 1999.
Another Flip-Flop to try and make him look good? U'betcha!
strategy gets 0bama.
If you want to see the king of resourcing look to 0bama and his economy/job committee chairman Jeffrey Immelt........ who not only chairs the 0bama
jobs committee, his company GE paid no income tax and shipped many of
his jobs overseas to China. Get real WGN....
0bama lies with conviction and unfortunately his supporters do not do the
research to see that he lies all the time. BTW, how many days has he
actually been attending to the economy and showing leadership in the
0val office. Over 150+ fund raisers..... now fund raising in foreign countries like China, and it seems every day he is out on the campaign trail, much of which
is on the public dime.
thats been proven time and time again to be lies told by Obama
You are repeating these pathetic, desperate and slanderous charges that the
0bama campaign is making.
Reagan gave up ONE year and last I checked he won the election both times.
To ANY Obama Sheep out there ........ PLEASE take the time to read Other Views from as many places as possible . Look at what other countries are saying about us .
This man has done more to Destroy America From Within than ANY foreign power ever could . What Power does he hold over the simple minded ? How could HALF of the voters in this country be mezmerized by a Carnival SIDESHOW that is the Rein of " The Man Who Would Be King " ?
