Except about 2/3rds of the country think he took us through New Orleans and is headed for Dallas.

 

Right Direction or Wrong Track - Rasmussen Reports™

 

Check the history of the "right track/wrong track". I think it has changed in a long while.

I'm not poor, and get no checks from Obama. It would be kinda cool to get a check signed by Obama, though. I digress...In reality, I'm not that far removed from legitimately poor. Neither in personal circumstance, nor the circumstance of my parents and many aunts/uncles. All receive some sort of assistance...some are totally disabled. Some are elderly. Some are elderly AND disabled. Some are unskilled, never graduated high school and unable to find a job. I'm intimately aware of how government programs assist many in need, and have had to utilize certain services at one point in my life as well. What Romney vaguely describes would be devastating to a very large portion of the population. Many denounce those on assistance as "freeloaders". I know first hand that many worked their whole lives till certain circumstances prevailed, and they could no longer help themselves. There's the aunt who has a degenerative spine, who's been on social aid since her husband of 30 years died 20 years ago. There's the uncle who worked in construction until he fell through a roof, landing on his head, rendering him mentally and physically disabled. He probably could have avoided almost 30 years of social aid had his wife not divorced him when she found out he would never recover. There's another uncle who worked in construction until arthritis sidelined him. He opened a thrift store after that, which was doing quite well...then he had an aneurysm and now can barely function. There's my father who worked 30+ years making the doughs for the bread you eat, one of the lowest paying jobs in that industry. He had to take early retirement because he tore his calf muscles away from his bones pushing these 400+ bins of dough to the next point in the process. His pension is $300 a month. I have a cousin who dropped out of high school at 16 to get married because of an abusive, alcoholic father. She wound up divorced at 18, and a drug addict. Eventually she turned her life around and was able to finish school and raise her kids with some government assistance. Now, her own drug addicted daughter has left her own 4 kids with my cousin, and she finds herself back to needing aid.

 

But, I guess my family are idiots.

 

Don't forget that they are also freeloaders.

He defends his record every time I hear him speak. I think his record is very easy to defend. Think about a trip to Chicago. If I leave my house to drive to Chicago I'm disappointed if Im not there in five hours. If I leave from Miami, I have to evaluate my progress in much different terms. When President Obama took office, the economy was in Miami and headed to Key West. We may not be in Chicago yet, but we are passing through Nashville.

 

I'll have some of what Trinity Alum is drinking.:lol:

We may be in Nashville, but we have a flat tire, cracked windshield, busted radiator, & the transmission is slipping. We'd get all that stuff fixed, but we're only carrying a credit card & we've accumulated $5.4 trillion additional debt on it since we left Miami.

 

The bad thing is the GOP put sugar in the gas tank while we were trying to fix the other stuff.

We? You a congressman?

Laura Ingraham says the R party should start from scratch if they cannot win this election.

Might as well join the rest of the country in starting over.

Obama is doing a good job, The Democrats have a better Vice President Candidate, people like Obama better, Mitt's offshore accounts, Obama cares about the middle class, Democrats have a plan, Democrats have Bill Clinton, Republicans have Ryan, the Country doesn't want any more Voo Doo Reagan, Bush, Bush, Romney Economics. Those are just the tip of the iceberg. Even the republicans don't like Mitt. Oh, I forgot, Ryan will screw with Medicare, Social Security and banish the elderly to osshore islands. :lol:

You're great at one liners just as long as no one asks you to defend your positions. Are you :confused: or :scared:?

That should be "hasn't" changed in a long while. Like over a decade.

When you talk about Mitt's broad appeal, we are talking about a dude who averaged only 25% of his own party's supporters in the primary. Even Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain led him for a period of time! :clap:

What are you Obama supporters going to say when this country is 25 trillion in debt by the time he goes out of office if re-elected? We can't continue to operate our government like a credit card that no payments are ever made. We can't keep spending more than we bring home. It doesn't work very well with individual homes to have an unending credit card, and of wont work with the government either.

You didn't answer. You said "we" are trying to fix this stuff. What are you, 2 Hump Camel, doing to fix things?

I see, your point being that Obama is just another of the same old same old politicians. I agree.

Laura Ingraham says the R party should start from scratch if they cannot win this election.

 

Seems like we hear that from one side or the other every election. They certainly need to look at the candidates they are putting out there and break away from the "it's his turn now" routine.
