Shannon O'Brien: 'Make Or Break Night for Mitt Romney'

Democrat who debated Romney in 2002 says Barack Obama must be on his toes tonight.

 

Mitt Romney's been down in the polls before, says Shannon O'Brien, the former Massachusetts state treasurer who battled him for governor in 2002. "I've seen him turn things around."

O'Brien is referring to their 2002 debate, which was seen as a springboard for the millionaire businessman. Romney has since sparred in numerous GOP debates, in 2008 and 2012, and has smoothed out some of that stiff Romney from yesteryear, she says in an interview with Patch.

His is a familiar strategy, says O'Brien, who now owns a consulting business in Boston: 

  • Spend a ton of money on TV attack ads.
  • Target "punch lines" in a debate to crystallize said attacks.

Those punch lines she refers to are the supposed "zingers" Romney is reported to have rehearsed over the past month. How many will he fire off? And how well will the sitting president fend them off?

Obama has to be ready to parry or counter any of these attack lines, according to O'Brien. He has to be concise, stick to the issues, and present a vision for the country.

O'Brien recalls Romney, in their critical 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial debate, showed a "lack of empathy," including declining to say something nice about his opponent when asked by the moderator. In one exchange, Romney also chided his opponent for being "unbecoming." Their final debate also included an O'Brien joke that went over flat: "Would you like to see my tattoo?"

It's an opportune time for both candidates. Many Americans are only now starting to pay attention to the race. And O'Brien says people are only now starting to swing to Obama on the economy. Remember that secret taping of Romney, the one in which he remarks about 47 percent of the country? Expect to hear that tonight, too.

O'Brien calls it "the gift that Mitt Romney gave to Barack Obama."

And what about Romney, her old political foe?

"I think it is a make or break night for Mitt Romney," she says. "I think he's got to hit it out of the park."

That will be just about everything he says--let's hope that Romney brings up the tens of thousands of pages of new regulations Obama has waiting in the wings to force down our throats to shut down energy, weaken the dollar, depress private sector jobs, build the welfare state, squelch free speech and freedom of religion, rescind the 2nd amendment, and crash the economy. All of this adds up to one thing: totalitarianism and the end of the United States as we know it.

It is hard to count the number of times Obama lies. The biggest and most recent lie: That nothing could have been done to protect our Embassy in Libia. They had credible warnings in advance. That could have quickly flown in marines and navy seals. Instead Obama said, ever so crassly, it is "only a bump in the road" Obama owes a huge apology to the families of the Ambassator and the 3 others. Obama also lied that it was in response to a silly movie. It was really a planned for 9-11 highly coordinated revenge attack for the asssination of Ben Laden and others of their leaders. Obama lies and his lies result in deaths and embarrassment to our country.

To me Romney is so out of touch with anyone that is not a millioinaire. His refusal to send "complete" tax returns tells me the man is hiding something....He is smart...he knew that not giving out his returns would hurt him but he also knew that showing them would hurt him MORE. He is so far right on social issues that he and the Tea Party want to dictate our private lives.

Mike how about when:

- Obama promised that bills would be online for the public to read for 5 days before a vote was taken. Fact, the healthcare vote had to be stalled as they were still adding several pages to it (written overnight) when it came up for vote.

- Obama promised C-span coverage of all negotiations. Fact, he refused to meet with C-span when they requested access to negotiations.

- Obama promised transparent negotiations that would not take place behind closed doors. Fact, the Republicans were literally locked out of the room as the Democrats negotiated the healthcare bill.

Your close Lorna, but not quite.
Your first point is kind of a combination of statements made by congress and the President.
Plenty of the health care debate was televised, I doubt President Barack Obama thought it would be held up for nine months by Republicans. The President doesn't make the rules fro Congress.
Certainly after nine months of delay tactics by the Republicans, The adults had to sit down and get stuff done. Not really the Presidents fault.

He didn't promise that only some negotiations would be covered!

He didn't promise locked doors! Transparent means transparent! If the Republicans were being as unreasonable as they say, then why didn't he let C-span in to broadcast it? Did he want to hide something...like maybe just who the unreasonable ones were?

Increase 1.95

Average miles per year 15,000
Average miles per gallon 25
Gas used per year 600

600 times 1.95 equals $1,170

Oh, get real. The $1.95 price was an anomaly caused by factors way out of the White House's control, following a upward spiral that ended in the four dollar range. Gas prices in the US are still much lower than the peak during the Bush43 administration. There is no such thing as energy independence as along as you depend on fossil fuels for that energy, because fossil fuels are a finite resource, and when they're gone, they'll be gone for millions of years--long after humans have disappeared. Depleting resources always increase in price over time, and there's not a thing in the world Romney or Obama can do about that.

Also, Americans have been coddled by cheap oil prices. Try buying gas in Europe, where the average price per gallon is around $7.00. Having been to Europe twice in the last fifteen months, I've seen how that continent has adapted by downsizing their energy needs--smaller cars, wind farms, huge solar energy fields, and increased use of hydro power. They GET IT! We just keep consuming as if there's no tomorrow.

Every time I see a Caddy Escalade or a Chevy Suburban, it's just one more reminder of what energy pigs we are in the US. No wonder the rest of the world resents our wasteful and disrespectful ways. Grow up and stop whining. Not everything in this world revolves around you and your tightass wallet.

When Obama ran last he made promises based on a booming economy. Like the rest of us he did not expect it to collapse a couple of months before he took office. A lesser man would have run for the hills. If a this is a war against women and the poor why has he done so much for them?

Evidence supports Republicans LIE throughout this whole campaign, and more maliciously, throughout the Prez' term. From the moment he was inaugurated and they met vowing they would block and decline all attempts to make the economy better - just to see him fail; except it didn't quite go their way as he's managed to put us on a recovery path IN SPITE all the obstructionism!

Gas prices are higher in Europe because they impose higher taxes per gallon of gas then they do in the US. Energy Secretary Chu, a member of the Obama administration is on record saying that gas prices in the US should be "boosted" to be the same price as in Europe. Now, you will argue that Chus said this in 2008, before he was energy secretary, but, Obama chose him to join his administration with full knowledge that Chu believes in highetr gas prices.
Secondly, gas is made from oil. Oil is bought and sold in US dollars around the world. As such, the price of oil is tied to the US dollar. QE1, 2 and now 3 have increased the amount of dollars in the world, thus devalueing the dollar. As a result, oil prices rose accordingly.

Tim-I've been a life long Republican and most of my career has been in the Petroleum Industry. NO PRESIDENT has ever had 'control' of Crude Oil Prices or the Price of Gasoline at the pump. Over the past 30 plus years there have been two primary factors that have controlled/impacted crude prices and on the gas pump side in the US two primary factor impacting the price of gasoline at the pump. NONE OF THESE have anything to do with the President GOP or Democrat. . . I do not know how anyone can make that conclusion or judgement that knows anything about how commodities work.

I can go into detail if anyone really want to know. . . here are the bullet points

Crude Pricing
1] Value of the US Dollar against other currencies
2] World Supply as primarily directed by OPEC
The President alone can not impact either to a large extent. . . some policies by him and the Fed can impact crude by 10%+/- regarding the value of the dollar, but that variable is also dependent on OPEC as well. OPEC is the single 'entity' that has much impact on supply one way or the other.

Gasoline Pricing
1►Consolidation of Major Oil Co's
2► Distribution [pipelines] and Refining Capacities

Over the last 30 years there has been an extensive reduction of retail competition due to corp. mergers, resulting in less competition at the retail pump. Two no new refineries have been built in the US since 1960 & few pipelines either. A broader pipeline network would even out regional price disparities

If Romney has his way squeeze out what left out off the middle class,ship the rest of jobs off to China and let not forget in his own words middle income is $250,000 a year.Romney is out of touch Obama has done the best he can with the Republicans who stonewall and shoot down whatever they can to make it look as if he hasn't lived up to his promises.He walked into mess left by Bush and his buddies!And kept this country from a major depression and yes he bailed big business and I don't agree but saving the automakers was a had to do and some of the others have paid back with interest.It is still a hard situation but it was not created by him.One of the major issues we have is to have TERM LIMITS on these lifetime people in congress they by far are the major problem in our country.They are to comfortable,to long in office and too many special interest groups,lobbyist,big oil,etc,etc.That is a must do ,then our country will have a chance and then it will be for the people by the people not by the good ole boys club!!

President Obama has also said that middle income is income up to 250,000 a year!
Think about it, President Obama has argued that we cannot hurt the middle class and advocates raising taxes on those making more then 250000 a year. Meaning, if you make less then 250000 a year your middle class.

Romney only knows how to lie and utter personal and false attacks. I finally realized how so many have been deceived by Romney's blatantly false ads - it is those who are probably working and don't have time to pay strict attention to all that happens on the political scene that are susceptible to his false ads - such as the one about Obama gutting the work requirement for welfare - it never happened and was never even brought up or discussed and Romney and crew KNOW that but choose to continue running the ad anyway - even after it has been debunked! That SHOULD tell you all you need to know - someone so willing to lie so blatantly to the public has no business running for the highest office in the land. This is the old republican race baiting trick; the us against them ploy and those who HAVE been paying close attention to politics know the truth, but there are millions who just don't have that much free time. They've also tried to paint Obama as "lying" which is part of their 'transference' attack - pick your worst fault and accuse your opponent of it before he unmasks you before the public!

Romney supporters must relate to his ideology and unethical behaviour; those people are hard to change; as they feel they're entitled to whatever they can get by lying, cheating, and stealing. Those supporters who earn less than the 250k and still support Romney.. are in for a very rude awakening - Romney could care less about them and they're going to be losers in the end. Romney is following instructions from his donors (the top 1%) who expect 'pay-back' as Bush did durng his terms. Those oil, finance, pharmaceutical, nuclear waste corporations want fewer regulations; that means 'no safety inspections'. When things start going wrong during their drilling, fracking, dumping nuclear waste in YOUR neighborhoods, etc., you'll have your inconic Romney to thank for that!

Romney is far from America's hope! President Obama took over with the US in a war, the economy failing and Bush and his Insane Clown Party using American Taxpayers as their personal ATM machine.
Passed Healthcare Reform, signed the Affordable Care Act (2010). It will cover 32 million uninsured Americans beginning in 2014 and mandates a suite of experimental measures to cut health care cost growth, the number one cause of America’s long-term fiscal problems.
As part of the 2010 health care reform bill, signed measure ending the wasteful decades-old practice of subsidizing banks to provide college loans. Starting July 2010 all students began getting their federal student loans directly from the federal government. Treasury will save $67 billion over ten years, $36 billion of which will go to expanding Pell Grants to lower-income students.
With so many soldiers coming home from Iraq and Iran with serious physical and mental health problems, yet facing long waits for services, increased 2010 Department of Veterans Affairs budget by 16 percent and 2011 budget by 10 percent. Also signed new GI bill offering $78 billion in tuition assistance over a decade, and provided multiple tax credits to encourage businesses to hire veterans.
In 2009, injected $62 billion in federal money (on top of $13.4 billion in loans from the Bush administration) into ailing GM and Chrysler in return for equity stakes and agreements for massive restructuring.

The accounting firm PWC which performed the summary on Romney's released tax records is the same outfit who did the books for JP Morgan, AIG, Tyco all with scandal of course. And Mitt wanted to brag about his millions in donations well most of those went to the Mormon Church and the rest to his own foundations which doles much of the money back over to?

To all of you who are just sitting around complaining about obama and what he isn't doing. Yall need to sto[ the real reason why that this country is in a mess in the first place is because of the tax cuts that was given to the wealthy. everyone needs to pay their fair share. Amercans have fail to forget that. you can't solely depend on middle class and poor working class people to pay and expect that there won't be a price for it!!! republicans were the ones that mess this country up you can't build or run a country like a business starting from top to bottom you will need to start from bottom then work your way up! that how bill clinton did it and that's how obama will have to do. in order to get this country moving foward again tax cuts will have to end to decrease the debut. If Mitt takes office there won't be a millde class left nor any federal fund such as finincal aid for college medicad or medicare for the elderly he plans to cut funding fot housing such as elderly people who need these programs in order to survive. It saddens me that this country fail to forget many things and pointing fingers and blaming a man who walked in when this country was already in a mess. so to those who have no hope or think mitt is going to help you or the working class and milldle that's left keep thinking.

The primary difference is that our current President is not quite as misdirected as Willard. Whether he has failed on certain levels or not, he did not get caught talking about how he thought half of our country was made up of opportunistic losers to rich socialites. That does not go well for you when you are trying to get elected by those same people and that is why Willard is the one that needs to be on his toes tonight.

Wow these republicans on here are idiots. You do realize that Romney and Ryan are the liars right? AND I will add that over 75% of what Obama promised he did. I don't get where you come from which is why Romney is loosing because Americans are not dumb and can see the blatant lies they spew out. All they can do is say "we will not be dictated by fact checkers" so in other words facts. Examples: work for welfare, Obama closing a plant that actually closed under Bush's watch, the Obama Phone, The "you didnt build that" crap that was taken out of context, and the REAL tax on the middle class that will come from Romney. FACT: Obama lowered taxes 3 times on middle Americans. But why even debate with you because any real fact you throw away as "liberal media" because the truth hurts too much. Just like Faux new's belief that the polls are not accurate. You are dumb for ever believing in this imaginary Obama that has never existed. Congrats, you're the reason we are 14th in intelligence.

I am a woman I have children elderly students who all have a stake in Americas future and i need someone in the white house who can relate to me not someone who does not even see me.

Conor C - Right on ! Obama would have accomplished even more if not for the
Republicans and their vow to make him a one-term President by road blocking any legislation he pushed. He created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - the creation of this agency was long overdue. The best thing Obama could do would be to bring charges against the banksters for the fraud and thievery that led to the financial meltdown in 2008.

The auto plant closed in April 2009. When Obama was President. So, everyone, why is the plant still closed? After all, the US taxpayer is the largest stockholder in GM and the Obama administration has members in management and on the board at GM. Why isn't the Obama administration using its influence to reopen the plant?

GM plant in Janesville closing for good this week
By The Associated Press April 19, 2009EmailPrint(0) Comments Janesville - Production at the General Motors plant in Janesville is scheduled to end for good this week.

GM spokesman Christopher Lee says operations at the southern Wisconsin plant will cease Thursday.

About 1,200 employees were let go just before Christmas when GM ended SUV production at the plant.

Some 100 workers were retained to finish an order of small- to medium-duty trucks for Isuzu Motors Ltd.

Lee says most of those workers will be laid off Thursday. He says others will be kept on to help guide the plant's shutdown.

GM's long-term future remains in doubt. Chief Executive Fritz Henderson says the automaker may file for bankruptcy if it can't meet the strict requirements that came with $13.4 billion in government loans.

Part 1 of 2 parts

PLEASE GET THIS TO MR. ROMNEY PRIOR TO HIS DEBATE TODAY - AND PLESE BE ADVISED THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY PRESENTED A GREEN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY TO TWO MEMBERS OF THE ENERGY & COMMERCE COMMITTE, AS WELL AS T-BOONE PICKENS BACK IN SPETEMBER OF 2009, WHILE IN TEXAS - AND THOUGH I WAS PRAISED FOR SUCH A FINE ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, NO REAL INTEREST WAS SHOWN IN MOVING THINGS FORWARD, AS I WAS SHUFFLED OFF TO THE SECREATARY OF ENERGY (MR. CHU) WHO THEN TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE WHITE HOUSE, AND YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW THAT WENT....

Mr. Romney - it's SIMPLE - and here's what needs to said to Americans TONIGHT :

1). If you don't feel you're better off than you were four years ago, what makes you think that you will be four years from now ?

2). If one of your reasons for voting for Obama is for the protection of your personal social issue rights, then remember when the the crap hits the fan, the ONLY thing that will matter is SURVIVAL !

3). People, do you trust the Banking Institution, the Chinese, and more bail-outs to improve our economy ? If you do, then stay on course with Barack Obama - BUT - if you vote me in, I will issue an ultimatum to China to pay up or get out, ( honor the $750 BILLION of matured Chines Bonds, that Americans hold - or get out of our financial markets, like Great Britain told you to do, and you PAID -UP )

Fact: Romneys 2010-11 tax returns showed he owned quite a bit of stock in a government owned Chinese business which he sold before going into the primaries. He also sold stock from a company in Israel that worked on stem cell research (apparently would not look good to the tea party) and yes he made a good profit on both. So its OK to deal with China when it benefits his bank account.

4). Want jobs, then let's bring on the Green Energy, that the Obama Administration has been stifling for personal gain from the fossil fuel interests !!!

5). THIS TIME - you WILL have a president that will grant each & every American access to the Oval Office, via a sizable staff of volunteers - whose only job will be to sort out e-mails and compile them into similar categories, to be submitted to me, so that I can TRULY consider the view point of each and every person that voted for me, and act accordingly - UNLIKE what your outgoing president promised, only to shut down his office's accessibility immediatley upon being sworn in, and though he campaigned with that promise !

Anthony.... you're beyond help. You are so mis-informed and 'brain-washed' all I can tell you is to listen and learn; do the research. Romney is not the person you think he is.
He's been caught on video inside a Chinese plant; people were in line standing by the sides whle Romney was touring along with American investors he took with him trying to persuade into investing into this Chinese plant. He asked the Chinese plant owner why he had so many security guards along the walls. He replied, oh no, those aren't security, they are people wanting jobs so they're on a waiting list! Romney said to his prospective investors; "see? this is what we need America to be like; people anxious to work for us at a mere buck an hour!" That's how we'll reap the profits!
A huge Chinese Oil driller attempted to buy into one of our California owned Oil companies (China oil co name: Cnook); they were stopped. They've since made attempts to buy into another large Oil company here in the U.S., still in progress. Guess who has large investments into Cnook China Oil ... Romney does!
This man does not have America's best interests in mind. But most people already know that.

Your number are correct. . . Bush managed a surplus his first year also, then with the cut in taxes, along with an 'unfunded war', plus the follow on unfunded drug program, things went south. From a technical stand point the Afghan, 'incursion' was considered funded through the first 12-18 months. . . the follow on 'activity' was not funded. The relaxing/elimination of mortgage oversight, led us further down to the financial cliff. . .

The most interesting thing about the Ryan Romney ticket is that they will be whatever you want them to be. Credibility and integrity is what is key to being the leader of the free world. The Republicans have flipped positions so many times based on polls or the audience they are in front of. President Obama has moved the country in the right direction and taken us from the brink of collapse after the Bush policies put us there. Bill Clinton said it best nobody could have turned that around in 4 years. There is job growth every month and we are on right path. Republicans can no longer scare Americans that they are safer if they are in control because our President has showed the world that we mean business (Osama Bin Laden). The Romney/Ryan ticket is built for the rich people that is why they have donated billions to keep lower income people in their place. Our President is fair to all including minorities, kids in college and will keep the entitlements that seniors deserve without turning them into a Paul Ryan voucher program. Debate doesn't mean a thing because Romney again will say what you want to hear. Like the kids in movies running for class president and promising every Friday and Monday off, free school lunches simply to get a vote, but no intention of delivering. President Obama is a President for 100% of the citizens not the 53% that Romney wants to include, because the 47% are so called victims and dependents. Seniors, disabled, military, are not dependents

You all are assuming that Romney is going to keep every promise that he makes. You are dreaming. Some of you say that Obama hasn't done anything, well guess what? The republican majority congress had a lot to do with that stuff not getting done. Open your friggin' eyes people. Politics are not black and white. If you all expect ANY politician to keep all campaign promises then you are very naive. Most promises aren't promises, they are plans. Plans that require bipartisan cooperation to work. Republican congress is just as at fault as the President for this stagnant economy.

Then deny he knew it might happen! He is also ignoring our safety and that of our families when he keeps cutting back on our military defense budget . Don't you get it?

Romney is more capable of helping the nation as a whole. Obama has been more selective in who he helps out, like the UAW with the auto bailout (you see by helping them out, the price's of a new vehicle has went up), green energy projects which Obama gave 650 million to one of his 2008 donor's who opened Solyndra and just after one and a half years, went belly up leaving the taxpayer once again to foot the bill.(2,000 people canned with no notice while owner gives himself 16 million bonus). Mitt is the way to go and I will support him.

Roger. . . this blog is not a wise choice for making up one's mind. . . I'm still a bit on the fence myself. The name callers here certainly don't engender me to their point of view in any case or from either side of the equation. I've gone and have found places where I can fact check the info both sides are putting out. . . there has gotten to be way to many dollars coming in from special interest groups and political 'super packs'. . . I'm distrusting all of them that are blaming and pointing fingers, which pretty much is all of them.

Very little good info coming from shows on Fox [Hannity & Mr. No Spin] and much the same on MSNBC [Ed Show and others I forget now]. . . CNN has some decent fact checkers. . . Anderson's 360 is an example.

I'd say get digging and look at some of the off air fact checking web sites. I'm looking for more but this one is a start . . . http://www.politifact.com/

To all you so called Republican patriots out there. you dont make enough money for Romney to even care about you! if you think his so called experience in business will help America, then why did he say to a bunch of rich people "we dont even have to do anything, the economy will get a boost just by us being elected!" Mitt and fellow "sub middle class Repubs. the world doesnt work that way. Your own genius and experience is not enough. You must work at it, and work for the majority of people, not the rich that will prosper no matter who is elected. If you think one man be he the president of the US or any other person other then God can turn this mess around in one term then you are dreaming!! And Reagan didnt do it either with trickle down (or p--d on!) either. There is no golden man, or anyone with a silver bullet to change instantly. There is a congress, a senate, stubborn governors, and a world economy that a US president cannot change. I personally do not make 200K, and most of you dont either, so quit propping Romney up at the savior of the US! He has no specifics because the problem is huge and takes more then 4 or 8 years to solve or reverse.. get real ya'll!!

He's a millionaire. What about Nancy Pelosi- Millionaire. What about Reid- Millionaire. The 47%- that's Americans who do NOT pay taxes- not those who do. Hello?? Also, Romney spent one week while governor, working all the jobs that were being threatened- including being a garbage man for a week. Not a big deal? How many of us have ever done that, much less a politician!
Obama spend a 2nd term in office- why on earth would ANYONE want that? At least Romney has the credetials and KNOWS how to make money. This is CLEARLY something Obama, his advisers and his cronies do NOT know how to do! Why would you want Obama for another term? We are accruing debt so fast that in a few years we will be where Greece is!

Oh good lord. I am a Republican and I used to be proud of it. Now, not so much. There are too many liberal money giveaways in my mind. Here is one thing to remember. This country had its first major economic crisis BEFORE the 2008 election. Just think McCain and Palin could have inherited this. How would they have done? Not any better in my opinon. There are 2 issues I have with the current Republican mantra that is trying to shove me out of their party. 1) I am a woman. The party wants to take away any choices I have over my own body. 2) I am not rich. According to the current view, I am not even middle class. I make a good income and yet I do not even count. I am lumped in with the homeless on the streets. Thanks. I would rather take another 4 years of eeehhh than 4 years of losing my current lifestyle because I am a 'poor' female.

I say ronald reagan their buts, privitize local law enforcement. our stupid republican gov. halted a road project that would have generated billions into the florida economy. but romney told him to block it because it was started by democrats. florida state college in jacksonville (republican ran) was inept in dishing out $15 million worth of college aid that was not supportted by the feds. graduated 350 students who failed or did not take the teachers state mandated test for all teachers. the president of the college spent over $200,000 on his expense account, he makes $600, 000 annually. republican backed board kept his sorry but there. he had to pay back $12,000? you figure so before the rep can talk about washington we get shafted by the local repub. the catholic church is crying again about birth contol, you mean women control, a man has not been successful in having a baby yet. by the way keep the people minds on the dems and obama so that they will not unearth another priest , little boys scandal. you thought we forgot did'nt you:) that's enough !!!!

So we should elect someone who started two of the first job exporting companies and who will not release more than two years of tax returns but has stock in China's oil company and bank accounts all over the world as the leader of our country because what..........?????????

I must say after reading for the last 10 minutes the comments i must admit I have no idea. What I do know for a fact is : 1- I lost my job because of cancer.. I get to be touch in my personal every time I travel from a island i live on because I have steel in my body from the cancer.. Before O bama I was frished yes never was actually fondle by a male.. TSA. 2- I lost my insurance and have lost my home all in the name of the law because I got cancer.. I paid for 3 year all of my medical bill and living cost until the asset just ran out.. . My 2 boys can not find any type of job including fast food ... I can not get any social security because i am not 65 or older. I have no ability to work since no one will even interview me since I am a medical liability and that goes to walmart and any other group that do hire 60 plus people. Even if insurance was available when is this suppose to happen and if you have no work how can someone pay for it but the government says oh you can work and some one will hire you.. that was 2 years ago. So you do the math and yes I do have 2 BS's and a dual masters in accounting but seems everyone likes or needs turbo tax or quick books for their accounting needs. Oh well good luck to the younger generation... Because one day you will be 60 or will be dead .. H out

Those who know Romney Know that he is Very Kind & Generous!
The Rep. Nat. Convention was Full of Testimonials as Proof!
Romney has been Successful his Entire Life in the Free Market!
Started Companies, Grew Companies, Grew Wealth, Hired Thousands.
Free Enterprise is What has Made the USA Prosperous!
People from All Over the World Come to the USA for that Opportunity!
Romney Donated his Entire Inheritance to Charity!
He Donates 30% of his Earnings to Charity.
He Pays a Lower tax Rate on Investments, because that is what Everybody Pays on Investment Earnings!
Without Investments, the Entire United States Economy would Collapse!!
His '47% pay No income tax' statement was Correct.
But 17% have earned that via Military Service or Social Security.
So still about 30% pay no income taxes, so would Not vote for R/R.
So he mis-spoke that once about 6 Months ago, and Dems Go Wild! LOL.
Also Mitt Saved the 2002 Winter Olympics from corruption & bankruptcy.
But I realize All these Facts mean Nothing to Indoctrinated people.

Bill Clinton signed the trade agreement with China, which I blame as the biggest factor in our failed economy today. This allowed China to take away a huge percentage of our manufacturing jobs. Until this trade agreement is dissolved, our unemployment will never get any better.

Okay honestly, all of you are sitting here arguing about the past and who lied about what and what kind of backgrounds they have. What is the point in all of that though. Is life as great as we all want it to be? Unless you are a millionaire and live in a bubble.. no, and it never will be. But instead of thinking about all the problems we have today and pinpointing it on Obama simply because he is the president at the time, and thinking that Romney is so much better based off the very little we know about what his plans are, we should all be thinking about what a democrat and republican means, what we individually stand for and what we want in life. Simply because in the end, the person that has the same values and goals as us is gonna be the one to get us there. So first of all, Bush put us in a dump. Last time I checked, Obama is not God, nor is he a freaking genie. He never said he was gonna poof into office and make the world perfect. He has to deal with overpriced gas, troops being in countries that does not want us there which cost tons of money, gaps between upper classes and lower classes, extreme cases of unemployment and much more. Now tell me honestly, how many of you think you could have stepped into office four years ago and made everything work out by now? ...

Obama WANTS high gas prices, dummy.
And as far as I can see, the easiest way to fix our economy is to kill the trade agreements with China, and possibly Mexico also. That is the ONLY way that we will bring manufacturing back to this country. What does that mean? It means we create our own products. It means millions and millions of new jobs. It means people will be working, not sitting at home collecting welfare and food stamps.

Unemployment will never get better under Obama's command.

The president does not have control over everything, there is a system which takes time to make sure that no one has too much power. So i suggest all of you people sitting here simply blaming Obama off of pure ignorance to do a little research and understand the government before making arrogant comments because it's embarrassing. We are dealing with a huge dilemma, the schools systems must be fixed because if you do not know, we are not the smartest based off of statistics and if China becomes the worlds most powerful nation, we could possibly have serious changes in our lifestyles. So start looking up things and i'm not talking about "What lies have Obama made?" etc. I mean actual research like "What has Obama done so far?," "What are Romney's plans?" (I know i have no idea since he seems a tad, what's the word, general about everything). So unless you have a million bucks underneath your pillows, you might want to consider understanding what is going on in the world around you.

Many Americans are only now starting to pay attention to the race??? Where the hell have you been for the past 4 years? The country is literally divided in half. The presidential race has been the top story in every newspaper and news station nearly every day since the presidential primaries started.

I expecially like how you brought up the 47% thing about Romney. Let's not forget about Obama telling Russia that "he'll have more flexibility after he's re-elected." That alone is a huge threat to this country. Let's not forget about how 80% of Obama's green stimulus went to overseas companies.
Let's not forget about Obama saying "Americans should be paying more for gas." You democrats can blame Bush all you want for being an oil man, but gas prices where I live hit around $3.20/gallon at peak with Bush, dropped back down to about $2.30 when Bush left office, and now it's almost $4 under Obama. What happens when gas prices go up? So does the price of everything else: groceries, shipping, flights, heating bills.

I don't recall Obama specifically stating that we should be paying more for gas, he did say that he wanted gas to be at $4 per gallon, but that was based off of gas that was basically already hitting the margin. Also, he did state that he wanted gas prices to be lower because he understood that the cost were hurting families and making things a little difficult. Secondly, how could that ever justify Bush and i don't know where you live but I don't recall things getting better when Bush left. You can't put America in this kind of situation where things will definitely get worst before they ever get better and miraculously manage to fix a few things before the end of your presidency.

No, Obama was not able to fix every single problem in one shot but could you and do you honestly think Romney will.

Stock market and auto industry current results IF a republican was president - good or bad? How can something as a whole be either good or bad depending on what the current presidents political affliation is? Isn't something either JUST good or bad - no matter who's in office?

haha that's so funny, so based off of what you said..

Did Obama get a gun and shoot people?
Did he not create new jobs and save jobs being closed down?
Did the economy suddenly become bad as soon as Obama stepped into office?

If YOU care, you should at least try to be honest with yourself first and stop pinpointing him for everything that he is trying to fix. Do you have a million dollars? If you want Romney to be president, help the middle and lower class... help us be rich too.

I cannot believe the main stream media and their blatent bias. As I logged onto AOL/Huff Post there were 44 pages of featured News followed by two columns of prominant News Events. In all of this I could not find one story that reported about the actions President Obama did or did not take in the attack ast week that left an American ambassador dead, or one story that explained the blatent mis-information put out by President Obama and his staff to explain why the incident happened. Further, FOX NEWS Released portions of a video of President Obama in 2007 that had not been shown before. In these portions the President is in rare form. I guess he left Hope & Change back in his hotel room that night. In this speech he railed about how Hurricane Andrew, 9/11 & other national calamities received Financial Assistence with all normal requirements waived. He baited the crowd, where is you Stafford money, where is your financial help (paraphrase) Funny he forgot to mention that a large majority of the Senate had voted to send this money and HE was one of only 31 Senators who voted against it. The president then gave a shout out to his friend, Mentor & Pastor Rev. Wright. In closing President Obama left no doubt to this audience that racism was the reason New Orleans had not received the money/ (Read It: www.foxnews.com,

Our Border Guards don't have enough beans in their beanbags, that The Obama Admin makes them use, to go up against the 50mm rifles they gave the Mexican Drug Cartels.
In Benghazi they weren't allowed to have bullets in their guns to protect the Embassy but Hilary and Obama gave millions to the killers to buy all kinds of equipment. In fact Obama released two Gitmo detainees to help in the massacre. Another strange thing, we lost a whole lot of our Harrier jets in the attack and there's no mention of it on the news. Reminds me, Obama gave Iran an in tact drone and gave Afghanistan a blackhawk helicopter.
Then think about this: Bill Clinton balanced the budget by closing HALF of our Military Bases and Obama is in the process of doing even worse. Obama is destroying us on every level.

Yes. Like the one for the illegal immigrants. People went on and on about how awful it was that they weren't legal and so on and how great it was the President did what he did. There was a reason why the Dream Act hadn't passed the house or senate. Of course off the top of my head it's gone, but I think was because it wasn't considered legal the way it was written, but I could be wrong. But of course our Dear Leader knows better than any other politician and goes ahead and bypasses the law/constitution and exerts his executive privilege.

As to lies told by Obama, One is that he said he grew up with a single mother on food stamps. That is not true. His dad left when he was 2 and his mother remarried when he was 4 and they moved to Indonesia. He lived there until 10 when he went to live with his grandparents in HI. He lived there until he was out of HS. Also, I believe he said something about the way his dad was treated after serving in WWII. Neither his father nor his stepfather were old enough to have served during the war.

Funny, I saw and heard Obama say the same thing just yesterday! Or did he say that because the report had already come in from frustrated losers, looking for a handout? Did she mention the speech Obama gave back a few years, when he asked where is the help for the people in New Orleans, when he, himself voted against advancing aid to them because of the flood there, ten days before he made this inflammatory speech? He is the world's biggest liar, and can look you straight in the face, promise the moon and then change his tactics. The "slip of the tongue " by his cohort, Biden also tells a story.... well the middle class sure has been buried the last four years, and that hole will get deeper and deeper if he wins this election.... now we know what he meant by shovel ready! Not to mention the atrocity that took place in Libya, torturing and murdering four patriots, who dedicated their lives to the service of this country of ours.....Their cries, their pleas for help went unanswered because "someone" either ignored or refused to help Every topic, every page,every portion of " the budget that has not been there in four years".... has destroyed everything this country stands for. Tonight, we "may" see some results, then again, everyone knows that some, if not all of those who will pose the questions, are already in BO's pockets!

3) Only in America could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
4) Only in America can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

His campaign has flip flopped on every issue. In the end how can we trust someone who changes their position depending on the audience. President Obama will be re-elected and this country will be better off than with incentives and perks for the rich people. Romney has been running for President for years now and has not had to even work because he is so rich. Yeah he can relate to the working people give me a break. Obama will make history again.

It would be absolutely shameful to allow a fraud such as obama to continue as president.

If obama has any integrity and interest in keeping America a great country, he should use this opportunity to resign and fully endorse Romney. We truly need a quailified individual who can correct the misguided course obama has put us on during his failed presidency.

Furthermore, if you knew anything at all about the Mormon church you would know that polygamy has been outlawed by the church. Maybe you could do some research on things before you speak? You would sound a lot more intelligent.

Rob....Since I can't be bothered to watch trashy reality shows I can't be bothered to inform the producers of the show. By the way, your sentence should have started with "You're" not your. And the word is MORMON. Can you give me proof of all these Mormons you are talking about that are still for polygamy or are you basing that on the tv show? Recently is a relative word. Please clear that up a bit would you? I have read of black church leaders in the Mormon church. You can vote for whomever you chose. You like Obama. I think he sucks.

Terry Munroe - I think you need to inform the producers of the tv show Sister Wives that polygamy is over, instead of telling me. You’re as stupid as the Mormon "Bob Young" if you think that Mormons are not still for multiple wives (unofficially). Just because you think it's ok that the moron Mormon "Bob Young's" mother is probably ALSO his sister doesn't mean I have to support that horrendous lifestyle. Furthermore, Mormons only recently stopped "officially" hating black people. Very sad. NO WAY will I ever vote for or support a MORMON candidate!

Funny how there was an insurmountable view that obama was an abject failure in the debate and his presidency, and then along comes this bigot named "rob" who then starts denegrating Mormons. Romney will be the next president, and what a relief to get a competent adult back into the white house, who will truly bring America back to the greatness that will benefit the world.

No physical threats Mike healey, just asking "rob" to tell me to my face what he said about my mother, sister, Terry Monroe. Mormons and me to my face. How is that a physical threat? Did I say Id also kick his butt? Do you believe "rob" should be allowed to insult my mom, and me not be able to confront the bigot?

@Bob Young. Thanks for sticking up for me. Appreciate it. But I think it's time to let it go. Let Rob have his love for Obama. You and I understand what he is really about. Hopefully more and more people are waking up to that fact as well. There are always going to be those who think Obama is the second coming. I am not sure why that is but they do. And as I said, hopefully more people will wake up to what he is really about.

You may as well pack up your hopes over Romney taking New Hampshire. Even with that fluke debate and the following bump, Real Clear Politics still has Obama up by 4.5 and there just aren't that many undecideds in New Hampshire. Not happening.

Hey News Fish, those figures on Real Clear Politics actually include Rasmussen and weigh it very heavily (25% of average), so that 4.5 lead in New hampshire is actually inclusive of the traditionally Republican biassed Rasmusen poll figures. Without Rasmussen bringing the figures down, across all other polls, Obama would have an average lead of +6 in New Hampshire.

And I know how intellectually lazy you are to actually research anything, but if I am proving a link that includes the Rasmussen figures (which is obvious from the second that you look at the page at the link), you appear rather goofy to come back and say "wrong" and then reference the Rasmussen number as if it wasn't already in my post. That may work for people who are equally, intellectually lazy, but for anybody who would take the time to see the facts at the link, they would see how foolish you are with that type of response.

Before you get hot and heavy on how well they did in 2008, that one thing that they got right was actually their final poll just before the election and they actually had a pretty rocky 2008, from primaries on through. That is why they are frequently referred to as the broken clock, which is always right twice a day. For the sample sizes that they poll, they really should be far more accurate than they really are and because they most frequently err to the side of the Republicans, that is why they also have the tag of being a conservative poll.

Rasmussen nailed 2008 presidential election and was off by 40 in Hawaii so being that i am lazy i just figured that that screwed their averages up. New Hampshire looks good for Romney now, it was not even in play a short time ago. Obama up by 4.5 must be a liberial polling group you looked at in order to come up with that figure. Must be those few undecideds that saw the President screw the pooch in the debate.

@annew...Yes, I know that about the ad about Romney and the insurance. It's been a while now and I can't remember if I mentioned it in response to another comment or what. But yes, it was one of the many lies that have been told during the whole campaign. I may have been trying to point out what a lie it was.
