"Work but not for Americans"

"Obvious lie # 2 would be attempting to make hay with Romney's realistic, and so far, statistically accurate 47% comment."

-- Posted by Buckshot61 on Mon, Sep 24, 2012, at 7:52 PM

So of the comments made that night in Boca Raton, which category would these comments fall under? Truth, Distortion, or Outright Lie?

47% of Americans are "dependent on government"

47% of Americans "believe they are victims"

47% of Americans "will vote for the President (Obama we can presume) no matter what"

Yes, that bothers me too SW. We should protect our children regardless of what political party we belong to.

I don't believe that kicking a person when they have fallen from grace serves any purpose.

I will stand up and express my own beliefs, but not get in anyone's face, if they don't believe the same way.

Some horses no matter how you attempt to bribe them won't go through the barn door.

Most cows would prefer to jump a fence and tear it down than go through a gate.

A bucket of milk is only as good as the cow's temperament When the end is in sight for a gallon or two, they can put their nasty feet into the bucket and spoil the milk or kick it over so that no one gets their supper that night.

I believe it is all in the presentation and choice of words. And the intent behind your comments.

I can respect that someone has an opinion and that it may differ from mine. I don't like to call anyone names, but I will describe their behavior on one of my bad days.

I think that I am glad to have missed this weekend. I see where the "hacker" found his way in again. He must be just a whiz on the computer.

I must be on his list too. I am honored. I was feeling left out until he made his insightful remarks.

Bottom Line: MsM isn't going to change her mind ever. She is having too much fun. Wayne will always sneak into the movies. Lamont is a puzzle to me. I respect him and empathize with him. I have never been in his shoes, but I do know what it is like not to feel as though I belong. It can leave deep wounds.

So if you don't comment on some of the blogs, you won't be feeding the bears what they really want a reaction. I forgot myself on Friday and did just that. Sorry, I will put myself back on the wagon.

Friend of yours, Ms. Marilyn? He/she/it sounds like about your speed. Why don't you two go share a bottle of rum together and leave this site to the adults.

Funny----Obama's aunt and uncle (illegals) are on welfare. Up until a short time ago, his aunt had been in this country illegally. Ms. Rummy got into a great debate with me over this.

So Obama does not have clean hands either as far as welfare in his family. And his uncle is a drunk with a criminal history. Any guess why he is still in the US---illegally?

Interesting how the double standard works here. Needing welfare is no crime, the abuse of welfare should be.

I have been on welfare, foodstamps and other programs. Very difficult to make the transistion to work in some circumstances.

I did, however, make it out with the help of friends, church and family. Some others in the world do not have that same luxury.

There is a story coming out about Obama's supposed poverty referenced in his book. 15 points that are not quite true. I mention this because of the increased static about other candidates and lying.

States may very well go around federal law, that still does not make it right. And if Obama is in charge, he needs to own it.

That is what we have been saying all along. Own your mistakes and take your licks. Quit spinning things.

The difference between him and Romney is that he as been President for the past 4 years. It is not Bush's fault that he got elected. Nor is it Bush's fault that he has failed to do the job in hand.

Instead, we see one continous round of campaigning from the get go and executive orders when he didn't get his way. Or blame blame blame.

We have the right to hold him to the standard of the office. To critque his performance. To sift through the excuses.

Any CEO who comes into a business that is failing will tell you that the blame game only goes so far before you are held accountable for your own decisions. They will also tell you that 4 years is plenty of time to turn things around and not make them worse.

You cannot persuade anyone to think for themselves. If they are on a collision course with destiny, they will not swerve from it for any reason including catastrophes We can make arguments until we are blue in the face, but at the end of the day, What we see as an individual will always differ from someone elses point of view.

Hence the division. Had Obama suceeded in uniting this country instead of making the great divide even wider and deeper, we would have all cheered him on.

Why is he so special and exempt from blame? Every other president has taken their licks and a few have even learned from the backlash.

Somebody brought up private charity. I can vouch for it's effectiveness. I am an atheist but can still see something for what it is.

While on the street, the main charity was the Mormon church. I used very little of their services. Not because of their religion or quality of services. It was because I was prideful and wanted to get myself out of the mess. However, I saw what they did many times and it was quite amazing. Looking back on it as an economist, it makes me wonder if should let charity be mostly private. There was little bureaucracy and it achieved the same goal as our public charity (food stamps and welfare) did.

They might have meant church welfare instead of Govt. Benefits. Big difference considering the time frame and what the Mormon church offers to their members.

And trust me, he worked hard for that welfare. It wasn't free by any means. Their programs are geared towards work opportunities not handouts.

Hey Blog Nazi we already know Romney is rich....... Did you know when his Grandpa came to America he received Government Benefits when Mitt's Daddy George was a little boy? WOW ! Idea's sure changed going down the generations to MITT!! Can you figure it out it was before Mitts Daddy became rich!

LENORE ROMNEY: "You know we've only owned our home for the last four years. He was a refugee from Mexico. He was on relief, welfare relief for the first years of his life. But this great country gave him opportunities.

Everyone needs to go to Edwards Cinema

In Boise and see

" OBAMA'S AMERICA: 2016"

It will scare you to death. Has anyone thought

about him declaring a state of emergency

and canceling the election?

Yes, MsM, the states do administer the contracts for projects like those mentioned in the video. However, the MONEY comes from the federal treasury. And along with the money come stringent requirements and a strict approval process.

Since the 1970's, one of the significant requirements for federal funding was a thing called the Buy America clause. It required that steel and iron used in federally funded bridges be made in the USA as well as fabricated in the USA. Exceptions could be granted on a project by project basis for specific types of steel or iron which were either not available or not generally fabricated here at home.

The premise behind Buy America was simple and straightforward. Buying steel from the USA supported mining, energy, transportation and construction industries in all parts of America and assured that the federal money (taken from American taxpayers) was USED in America.

This video would suggest that the long standing practice (supported by both parties for over 40 years) of supporting American industry has been discarded by our current administration. So the miners, steel factories, welders and shipping companies that will profit most are all outside of the US, specifically in China.

Yet another in a growing series of examples of change that this President insists will rebuild this nation?

I am going to the back of the bus. There is a still an emergency exit available there.

No matter what gets said or posted, you can't convince some people that the sky is actually blue or that the villian tying them up on the railroad tracks means them harm.

The entire government is corrupt and has been for a long time. When you feed the greedy, they starve the needy.

I could go on all day with pithy little statements, but here is my stop.

HEY Blog Nazi

Instead of calling me a liar why don't you prove to me what I said are lies? Just because you say something doesn't mean its true!

WOW you must be worried!! What place would that be? And now you think your reading my mind? Your antenna's are out of whack, they need adjusting whacko! Get off that addiction, its messing up your thought process!

It is okay for the media to bring up how Romney behaved in HS or that he strapped his dog to the roof of his car and be outraged. How many of us did things in HS that was stupid or cruel?

You miss the real point of character when you scoff at a video that is 14 years old. It ties in directly as to what his policies are today.

None of us are perfect, but it is the policies and the absolute arrogance of this current president which makes us angry.

I am so glad that he created more jobs for Letterman by appearing on his show. Or the fact that he is like JayZ makes my heart warm.

Yes, a Vegas fundraiser was his idea of being a President to all of the People when 4 of our own were dead and US buildings were being burned along with our flag.

No one has all of the answers, but one thing is for sure, whether we wanted him to suceed or not, he has failed the American People terribly.

Oh and by the way that video is a year old but not as old as the Obama one the Republicans are throwing all over. That one is 14 years old. Whats going on is their trying to take the heat off of Romney! Romney's blunders aren't going away!!

This is a lot like a picture of an anti-Obama billboard I got in an e-mail today. It says "I promised change, I'm just changing the promise".

Sickening....

Yep change to believe in....not support
