    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I started to say "That's amazing!" but it really ain't, is it?

    The Piper has resorted to recycling some of his SOS in order to maintain a steady flow of the "S" his disciples want to hear.

    Note: I'm not talking about that breakfast delicacy called SOS in military dining areas. That would be "S" on a shingle.

    Sad part is that ?IF? he gets re-elected then we will have 4 more years of that "ECHO" along with MORE wasteful Gooberment Spending.

    The Libbies are always using "outsourcing" as a weapon against their opponents.

    Again, we know where our president been and we know where he is going, does anyone think that we are done with any of the issues stated? Perhaps that is why they keep coming up!

    Consistency in values and beliefs is important to me, how about you?

    instead of crying and whining about bain capitol and jobs going to china you should concern yourself with WHY they are going there. it's not because of the scenery . obama has had 4 years and done nothing.

    Nope, I kinda just want a president who can run the country, eliminate wasteful spending, get some jobs going, and not be an empty suit reading a teleprompter because he can't think on the spot or presumably at all, and reads what someone else has written for him.. Did you know that, not only does Romney not use a Teleprompter, he also writes his own speeches, So when Romney speaks, we know it's him. When Obama speaks, I don't know who's words he is speaking, or even if he believes in it because he is an empty suit behind the teleprompter. Watching his wife and the way she nods all the time, it's pretty obvious she's just cought up living the high life, and so is he. I'm sure his golf game has improved in 4 years tho. We know where Obama has been and where he is going, and he's not the guy I want for President.. That said, I do not agree with Everything Romney says or does, but I think he is a better choice than where we know Obama will end up.

    When it really mattered Obama was racing to pass a healthcare law that many didn't want, only because he had full control then and couldn't have done it with a Republican congress.

    Nope, none of that, just pointing out that MR's rudder seems to be broken or non-existant.

    defend your candidate instead of attacking the other. talk about obama record. tell us the great things he's done . and dont throw the weak useless unemployment numbers in. they show nothing. go to the percentage of working age people working. the true unemployment numbers are closer to 12 percent .

    I agree, Compadre, but that's not the way the Libbies operate, unfortunately - HELL, you already knew that didn't you?

    OK, but other comments out here don't seem to do anything but bash our President. I guess that I was just following suite...

    Enjoy!

    1. Passed Health Care Reform: After five presidents over a century failed to create universal health insurance, 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.

    2. Passed the Stimulus: Signed $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009 to spur economic growth amid greatest recession since the Great Depression. Weeks after stimulus went into effect, unemployment claims began to subside. Twelve months later, the private sector began producing more jobs than it was losing, and it has continued to do so for twenty-three straight months, creating a total of nearly 3.7 million new private-sector jobs.

    3. Passed Wall Street Reform: Signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (2010) to re-regulate the financial sector after its practices caused the Great Recession. The new law tightens capital requirements on large banks and other financial institutions, requires derivatives to be sold on clearinghouses and exchanges, mandates that large banks provide “living wills” to avoid chaotic bankruptcies, limits their ability to trade with customers’ money for their own profit, and creates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (now headed by Richard Cordray) to crack down on abusive lending products and companies.

    4. Ended the War in Iraq: Ordered all U.S. military forces out of the country. Last troops left on December 18, 2011.

    5. Began Drawdown of War in Afghanistan: From a peak of 101,000 troops in June 2011, U.S. forces are now down to 91,000, with 23,000 slated to leave by the end of summer 2012. According to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, the combat mission there will be over by next year.

    6. Eliminated Osama bin laden: In 2011, ordered special forces raid of secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in which the terrorist leader was killed and a trove of al-Qaeda documents was discovered.

    7. Turned Around U.S. Auto Industry: 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. Since bottoming out in 2009, the auto industry has added more than 100,000 jobs. In 2011, the Big Three automakers all gained market share for the first time in two decades. The government expects to lose $16 billion of its investment, less if the price of the GM stock it still owns increases.

    8. Recapitalized Banks: In the midst of financial crisis, approved controversial Treasury Department plan to lure private capital into the country’s largest banks via “stress tests” of their balance sheets and a public-private fund to buy their “toxic” assets. Got banks back on their feet at essentially zero cost to the government.

    9. Repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”: Ended 1990s-era restriction and formalized new policy allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military for the first time.

    10. Toppled Moammar Gaddafi: In March 2011, joined a coalition of European and Arab governments in military action, including air power and naval blockade, against Gaddafi regime to defend Libyan civilians and support rebel troops. Gaddafi’s forty-two-year rule ended when the dictator was overthrown and killed by rebels on October 20, 2011. No American lives were lost.

    11. Told Mubarak to Go: On February 1, 2011, publicly called on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to accept reform or step down, thus weakening the dictator’s position and putting America on the right side of the Arab Spring. Mubarak ended thirty-year rule when overthrown on February 11.

    12. Reversed Bush Torture Policies: Two days after taking office, nullified Bush-era rulings that had allowed detainees in U.S. custody to undergo certain “enhanced” interrogation techniques considered inhumane under the Geneva Conventions. Also released the secret Bush legal rulings supporting the use of these techniques.

    13. Improved America’s Image Abroad: With new policies, diplomacy, and rhetoric, reversed a sharp decline in world opinion toward the U.S. (and the corresponding loss of “soft power”) during the Bush years. From 2008 to 2011, favorable opinion toward the United States rose in ten of fifteen countries surveyed by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, with an average increase of 26 percent.

    14. Kicked Banks Out of Federal Student Loan Program, Expanded Pell Grant Spending: 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.

    15. Created Race to the Top: With funds from stimulus, started $4.35 billion program of competitive grants to encourage and reward states for education reform.

    16. Boosted Fuel Efficiency Standards: Released new fuel efficiency standards in 2011 that will nearly double the fuel economy for cars and trucks by 2025.

    17. Coordinated International Response to Financial Crisis: To keep world economy out of recession in 2009 and 2010, helped secure from G-20 nations more than $500 billion for the IMF to provide lines of credit and other support to emerging market countries, which kept them liquid and avoided crises with their currencies.

    18. Passed Mini Stimuli: To help families hurt by the recession and spur the economy as stimulus spending declined, signed series of measures (July 22, 2010; December 17, 2010; December 23, 2011) to extend unemployment insurance and cut payroll taxes.

    19. Began Asia “Pivot”: In 2011, reoriented American military and diplomatic priorities and focus from the Middle East and Europe to the Asian-Pacific region. Executed multipronged strategy of positively engaging China while reasserting U.S. leadership in the region by increasing American military presence and crafting new commercial, diplomatic, and military alliances with neighboring countries made uncomfortable by recent Chinese behavior.

    20. Increased Support for Veterans: 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.


    Now, in return, here are a couple of simple questions:

    Why does MR make such a major point about stopping funding for PBS when the $445 million dollar congressional subsidy when that value represents about one hundredth of one percent of the entire federal budget? Does he believe that it will make a difference?

    or, if you want to skip that one...

    Where will MR find the funds to cut the deficit if he doesn't raise taxes on the wealthy or the middle class?

    As before, this thread and the discussions within are all indicators of a free, democratic society, God Bless America!
    ...at least I'm enjoying the ride!

    I may be off-line for a day or two. I have to take my computer out to have it steam cleaned.
