    I agree.... it's like all the crap floats to the top. Maybe the smart ones who should be president are all in hiding because of that old truth that says “The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

    IF he gets a second term at all. The Democrats don't have a great track record for getting second terms.

    Getting back to Romney, this really is ridiculous. The GOP/teabaggers have been up Obama's butt for everything from eating dog to being Muslim, but Romney has repeatedly said that him being a businessman is one of the main reasons to run the US. Now that those claims are being investigated, he wants it off the table. What kind of special pleading bullsh.t is this?

    Are you surprised that a Politician is a liar?

    I have been looking for a picture I saw on Facebook. It said something along the lines of Romney is the same kind of Casino Financial Politician that has gotten the US into trouble in the last two decades, and nobody is focusing on that. He is the absolute worst kind of candidate that the US needs right now.

    If Obama thinks that sailing back into office is going to be a breeze, then he is in for a bit of a shock.
    If he wins at all, it will be by a very narrow margin.
    He's definitely found office tougher than his first campaign. Conditions have been extra tough for him too. The economy, fixing Bush's ****, the employment situation may make it impossible for him to get a reelection, but the Americans are stupid if they think Ronmey can fix it. He's a rep and all for big business the ordinary american is screwed either way.

    Are you saying Obama would somehow become unintelligent if he gets another term. Don't compute.

    Lol, and democratic and GOP fan boys are trying to polish their turds by trying make the other one look worse.

    Poo slinging is a synonym for politics:

    You can't trust a meta-ethical moral relativist since such a person can abuse reason to justify any act.

    No, I don't where you get that idea from. Point being, the longer a person that is not too bright stays in politics the more time they have to screw up. Ask Bush, the same can happen to Obama.

    Not that he's lying/lied, but that he's actually taking umbrage at his lies being called out.

    Nah, Obama may have made a load of rubbish promises which he has failed to deliver on and hasn't been even close to as inspiring as his initial campaign promised but he is nowhere near the league of Bush. Bush pretty much destroyed global confidence and relations of America with other countries and that was just one his many mistakes. Obama inherited a deeply sick country so not everything happening to them is his fault, that said he still has failed to deliver and for that there is little excuse.
