Our President...

A shoe anybody. And anything will be n
Better than obama

To further guarantee a loss! :-)

The Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency for 2 years Obama was in office. He got everything he wanted and he was a miserable failure. Good Lord, learn some facts before you embarrass yourself further, Sandy!

My God, we were heading straight for all-out 'Depression.' Are we now? He SAID unemployment would be the logest part of recovery.

Anyone remember a G. W. Bush Administration, that wrecked us? Bush rated "2nd worst president" in U. S. history. Why do you think he stays on his ranch, "won't be able to make the Republican Convention?" Just happen to be busy that week????

He will wipe the floor with Biden in a debate.

It surely is! Ryan shut Obama down in a debate in the White House within 6 minutes. Wait until the American people see him against that numskull Joe Biden. He'll eat him for breakfast.

right on ryan

Facts are facts, huh?

1) Obama has been president for 3 1/2 years, not 5. 2) Obama had a democrat house and senate for his first two years. He got EVERYTHING he wanted. The republicans could not stop anything. 3)The republicans won the house in 2010. Democrats still control the senate. 4) The republicans have sent bill after bill to the senate where they die because Harry Reid refuses to bring them up for a vote. Harry has not brought up a budget to vote on for over 1200 days. 5) Obama started campaigning for re-election in January. He has held over 200 fund raisers during that span. During that same span, guess how many meetings he has held with his jobs council? Answer.....zero.

You would think a president that thinks about jobs as he goes to sleep and thinks about jobs as soon as he wakes, would have those priorities reversed.

Optimist, I think you illustrate the issue wonderfully! Your argument that SS will never fail because it can always just be piled onto the national debt with every other program depicts the head in the sand mindset. Don't attempt to fix anything, just use the issue to scare seniors. Maybe it will be too easy - but it's also very. very, wrong,

Fix social security:
1) raise the age slightly
2) stop raiding the trust fund to fund Iraqi Police or preparing to invade Iran
3) rebuild our economy so revenues come up

@optimist
Your fix:
1) you are scaring "soon to be seniors"!
2) BWAHAHAHAhaha ha ha HAR HAR HAR har aah keff pant har har har har ------ trust fund? You mean the "lock box" full of IOUs? They haven't been raiding that for the past few years, have they? Nooooooooooooooooooo!
3) BWAHAHA... muffle, compose myself. The stimulus was supposed to do that. The 2009 stimulus alone was enough to build 1,567 Golden Gate bridges (yes the dollar amounts were adjusted for inflation). Where are they? Where's the first dozen?

We're about to do it with two countries overseas, under Obama's watch. That miserable joke of a President is going down faster than Monica Lewinsky with the last miserable joke of a President.

I know right. Why not pick rubio which actually may have helped him. I think they know they are not going to win. The others probably said forget it just like Condy Rice.

the older folks in Florida and going to be thrilled------NOT!

what could be better Eddie RYAN Munster & Ayn Rand----OBAMA 4 MORE YEARS!!

thanks a bunch Mittens what a pick!

I haven't heard a "NOT!" joke in about 15 years and it came from a movie that was released 21 years ago. No wonder you Liberals are so up-to-date on the facts.

with all those dead people voting, he's a shoe in

Really? Why is he up in every poll including Ras? You have no chance in PA. Voter ID might make it close but Rep. turzai and his beg mouth as well as no actual evidence of voter fraud may get that gem legislation tossed. The PA GOP lost on reapportionment and delaying the special elections and they may very well lose this one also. Won't matter though PA will stay blue and so will Wisconsin, Ohio, Nevada, Michigan and most of the other swing states if not all. You guys have no chance. You will have better chances in the Senate.

Really that's the video that's going to win it? Wow I thought you had something. This is coming off the W economy and is easy to refute. How many shut down factories as a result of Bain Capital loading them down with debt? This will be a cake walk! Romeny Ryan Reverse.

ROFLMFAO!!!

Don't forget, you bet your house that Romney would lose. I'll give you until December 31st to be out.

Didn't our President win one of those peace prizes.... while he was in the middle of two wars and preparing for a third... and reneging on his promise to close Gitmo.... and waterboarding prisoners there in what he called torture? Yeah, somehow, the prestige of the prize has lost its luster.

This isn't about President Obama. This is about a specific political ideology that is a direct result of the policies that Romney supports. It is about the EXTREME and GROWING inequality between the very wealthy (the ones who bankrupted the country, the so-called job creators) and everybody else. Stiglitz also implicates the glaring need for tax reform, so that the disappearing middle class can be restored, as well as the loopholes that allow American corporations to avoid paying taxes. After all, didn't the Supreme Court say that corporations are people? This article is neither a critique of any one person nor of the Nobel Prize but rather of a political bent that will usher back the policies that bankrupted us during the Bush years. To get back to the original question of Paul Ryan...I think he was a fine choice.

Fascinating, there is a quote from that very same Nobel Prize winning economist talking about the Obama administration's bank bailout. He said that the people who designed the plans are...
“either in the pocket of the banks or they’re incompetent.”

Bravo, Wayne!

My feelings exactly...But have you seen the MO (modus operandi) these clowns are doing?.. Misinformation, voter IDs, uneven voting hours in OHIO (Republican hours only) among others.

Frank....Your the only Democrat that is pumped. Pumped about what ????
8.3 % unemployment . ...15 trillion in debt ....bad foreign relations..
Is this the Hope and Change you voted for in 2008???? You want four more years of this ??? If you do your either stupid, fiscally irresponsible or all of the above.

Phillyboy - I believe you're either stupid or ignorant to think "I'll Say Anything" Romney is your answer to higher employment.

What about the lying Obama Campaign? Lied about Romney being responsible for that lady's cancer! They should be ashamed of themselves. Implying that Romney has not paid his taxes for 10 yrs? Without any proof! I want to know when Obama stopped beating his wife!

The pro-Obama ad about the woman dying of cancer was not APPROVED by Obama. Meanwhile, Romney came out and approved a message claiming Obama dropped the work requirement for welfare recipients... Blatantly false, but Romney wants Obama to come clean...Who is the dirty one here?..Put up or shut up indeed...Remember the birth certificate debacle?..Obama showed his certificate...When are we going to see Romney's tax returns?..FOUR MORE YEARS FOR OBAMA...ENOUGH PRO-RICH IDEOLOGY!..People have suffered enough already...Let Barack get us out of this muck the Republicans got us into...Let Paul Ryan carry Biden's bucket of water.

I might guess, Mr. Eichfield, that under a repub administration, they will find many new ways to squander American treasury and lives in new wars overseas.

Mr. Tea party,
When is your movement going to concern itself with cutting the military, corporate welfare and mass subsidies to oil companies? I get that you want to gut social security, medicare and you especially hate education spending.

People here seem to have a total lack of what's going on with Soc Sec and Medicare. For over the past year or two SS has paid out more than it takes in and there is nothing that's going to reverse that trend, even a better economy. It's demographics, the ratio of people collecting to those putting in. So it has been taking out of the "trust fund - lock box" which in reality does not exist other than a number on a ledger somewhere. The money is spent and it its place is a promise to pay it back. So now that we are paying it back it is a strain on the budget and contributes to our insane borrowing/debt. Medicare is in similar fashion growing out of control as a percentage of our budget/debt. This is actually the most predictable financial disaster - every time there is a gov't report out on this the day of reckoning it closer. We are bankrupting ourselves and our children. Only a few politicians dare speak out on it. We need more - from both parties.

You are correct Wayne.

Everybody needs to read the book "The Debt Bomb" by senator Tom Coburn.

Social Security is a relatively easy fix. You can tinker around the edges and extend the program. Medicare requires much more extensive structural changes. Changes that affect people under 50. If you you want end the program as we know it, do nothing. It will collapse on its own.

Something that cannot go on forever.................. won't.

Romney and Ryan would be WORSE than cancer. And by the way...are you sure you know how to use a calculator? I'm making $200,000 a year and I will save on taxes next year. Taxes are also the lowest now than they have been in years. Don't be fooled by republicans thinking they will cut spending either. Just look at what congress spent in the 90's under their control and what they spent from 2000 through 2004.

Frank are you insane???? You make $200,000 thats not middle class thats wealthy. You deserve to pay more but under Obama's plan you will save more while people like me will pay more. Did you go to my link, its straight from Obama's page.

Bill, You may call $200k wealthy, but with the cost of living, I do not. I'm right at the figure where my taxes would not go up ($198,000.00 to be exact) however, if I do better in business next year and go OVER $250,000.00, then I will pay a bit more which I do not mind one bit. I believe the 1% in this country should pay their fair share. It wouldn't even be that much more...just the same percentage as when President Clinton was in office. My taxes will go UP, if Romney and Ryan get into the White House. And the economy is not the only issue for me...I don't trust republicans as far as I can throw a stick on just aboutn EVERY other issue in this campaign.
