RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

A lot of studies out saying the mental illness in the US from 2008 to 2011 has increased. For many reasons....unemployment....job lose....housing be foreclosed.....all creating more stress in the society.

A 2011 report says 44.5m 18 to older Americans has some sort of mental illness in the country. That is 19.7% of the adults in the country.
1 in 5 with some sort of mental illness.

And you want to tell us that the course Obama took the country on is a good or healthy one? Over 60% of the country think that it is on a bad course.

No wonder we are seeing guys like Holmes pop up. Seeing Jesse Jackson JR in Mayos for mental evaluations.

All that "no crisis should be wasted", Dude. DEMs have made crisis after crisis in the country since Obama took office. And it is reflected in the mental state of the country. When people's dreams die, they have sever mental issues.....DEM crisis politics has been doing exactly that.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

You mean like the mood disorder that James Holmes was having prior to the Batman movie shootings? Holmes was seeing a shrink......as well.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

We like to read these kinds of post from strong Obama supporters....they reaffirms our thinking on liberals..............

Shifting topics.

Did you know that the political conservatives on the US Olympic team.....have a hand signal that is in protest of the Obama administration? No, not the single finger salute. Think the reverse of the Black Panther salute that was done in Mexico City Olympics on the medal stand.

Says allot, yes? Just think of several politically conservatives winning in London.....and bracing their arm straight down with a fist formed....on the medal stand. With the world watching.....

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

Since we have fallen to the Roseanne Barr level of politics and blogging in the thread. Dude since you are into the mental health field....can you tell us why Jesse Jackson Jr is headed to Mayo Clinic for depression? and stomache ailments?

What do they have common?

Jesse went public with the Mayo move during the Olympic Opening ceremonies. He has been in reclosed at undisclosed facility for the last several weeks.

So he seem to have some major problems.....

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

I will take that as affirmative that you approve of Roseannae Barr's tweets of degradation of chic o fli, Christ, AIPAC and the US military that might have to war with Iran.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

This just in. A Romney plane headed to a event inside the country....just made a emergency landing. Seems Senator Marco Rubio was on board. All seem to be safe after warning light came on in the cockpit.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

So you consider Roseanna Barr's tweets on Chic fli a, decent tweets? She heads the Green Party that you consider decent.....

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

So you are going to try to connect the DC Madam to Bain Capitol? Bain does not have a Washington office. But the Biden's have been in Washington for 40 years. I would walk carefully there, Dude.

Again you need a lesson in investment capitol. Bain invests in the firms.....but does not make the business decisions for them. So all that offshore job lose? Was not Mitt Romney's decision. Others made the decisions to go offshore. Your argument does not stick.

What I believe is that those 27,200,000 small business in America....most of them would call themselves ...Christians. Most all of the 170,000,000 that President Obama offended with his statement are Christian and they are a forgiving people because of that.

But we are in heat of the 2012 campaign.....and Romney's team is going to remind them of just what President thinks of their efforts to make a successful business in the country.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

So tell us Dude....is Obama going to throw a campaign card in to get Roseanne Barr and her Green Party to support him in the 2012?

Oh I do hope so. Roseanne Barr has become the biggest grins in American politics as she ran for the Presidency from the Green Party. It was political gaff after political gaff with her.

Her most recent? She just tweeted into the Chic o fil flap....that anyone that eats chicken sandwich from the firm should get cancer because they are eating anibolic tortured chickens 4 Christ.

Then she said "off to grab a ***t fil-A chicken sandwich, as am off to worship Christ and AIPAC and war with Iran."

She has since apologized....the most common tactic in American politics since President Obama took office in 2008. So linking Roseanne Barr and President Obama together is not hard to do.
They both say same kind of things to get themselves into trouble.

Oh please have Roseanne Barr do a public endorsement of President Obama.....oh please oh please......

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

That disputed South China Sea Island situation just got a bit more interesting.

Japan just said it was considering sending troops to defend the small islands. I maybe wrong here. But this is the first time since WWII, that Japan has sent troops on a armed combat mission outside of the Japan proper.

So with China, Japan, Vet Nam and the Philippines all contesting these small but vital islands with massive oil fields underneath....the days of a peaceful cruise to the South China Sea maybe over with.

Dang we can have the China Premier coming ashore ala Gen MacAurthor on a islands.....saying "I have returned". We can have the Japanese Naval forces doing a Pearl Harbor surprise attack on a Philippine fishing village near Subic Bay. We can have the Vet Nam NVA doing its first every infliltration operation since the end of the Vet Nam war...as they pretend to be Chinese Army regulars. Lastly we can have the Philippine WWII underground army slipping ashore the Islands to kick the Japanese out.

And to think that Hillary Clinton is going to be the one that keeps it all from happening.......I feel so much better now.........

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

Well please enlighten us to the Bain Capitol. Are you going to give us a crying factory worker that was laid off by the management of a firm that Bain lent to....because the management made a decision to outsource offshore and decided to stay in business?

Gee....had Soldryn figured out that it could buy Chinese made solar cells and used the $500m for Chinese product purchases, instead of making a US solar cell plant with high cost American workers....they might still be in business today. Instead they are belly up because of poor management decision becuase they had a poor business plan that the Obama's administration failed to recognize. Remember GWB's administration rejected the Soldryn loan applicaiton.

Or are you going to give the Boston mayor position....that Christian firms can look to locate elsewere (chic fil a) because it has a Biblical view of marriage? Because even he has stepped back here. He has no legal authority to dictate a firm's managment's religious views.

So what is going to be? Try to condemn Bain Capitol because it is a successful firm? Or to say that Christian firms should not locate in America?

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

Mitt Romney helped to built Bain Captiol into a global investment firm with 8 different segments across the globe. Lending and taking partial ownership into local businesses. Bain Capitol today is a company of $65b in acquisitions and Corporate loans done in over 100 countries around the globe.

Not one of the foreign governments has found cause with Bain Capitol in making a illegal loan or investment. Started in 1984, Bain has steadily increased its net worth and its investment portfolio. Bain Capitol consists of 400 financial advisers with expertise in a number of business fields.

The firm has offices in Boston, New York City, Palo Alto, London, Luxembourg, Munich, Mumbia, Hong Kong, Shanghi, and Toyko.

And yes, Mitt Romney helped to build it.....

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

VP Joe Biden just played the 1% card again. Saying that his family was middle class and near the poverty level....maybe in need of food stamps even. So vote for me....I need to keep my family feed and in clothing. This to the International Firefighter Association.

Well the facts are just a wee bit different.....his oldest daughter Asley is social worker with the State of Delaware. And her husband is a plastic surgeon. She has a master degree from the University of Tulane. So can wee say she and her husband above the $250,000 break point? Um, I think so.

Then Joe Biden's oldest son....is Beau Biden. Beau is the Attroney General of Delaware. Only 52 of those in the entire country. He a former Federal Prosecuting attroney and member of the Bifferato, Gentilotti, Biden,and Balek law firm. If you don't recognize the firm's name.....think asbesto claims.....they have made bundles suing ship builders and the the US Navy on asbesto claims.But I am sure these boys put on a hard hats go dig ditches and lay roads every day.....

Then we have his youngest son. Hunter Biden. Hunter is a Washington DC attroney/lobbyist. He now represents a firm called Euroda Global....which is OH my gosh..... a investment and acquisitions firm in competition with Romney's Bain Capitol. Earlier Hunter represented one Solydrn Solar Cell maker to getting a $500m loan package from the Obama administration. But during the day, Hunter is putting out forest fires and driving the local EMS vehicles to calls to save lives... Before he was with Euroda, Beua was one of those bailout banks.....MBNA America Bank

So we have the Biden family into...influence peddling to get Solydrn loans, milking the government of millions on asbesto claims, and bailout at big banks.....so much for the hard hat family of VP Joe Biden.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

Selling like hot cakes....is the new Romney T-Shirt.

Stenciled boldly....very boldly I might say.....are the words.........

..........."The Government did not build my business, I DID"..........

What a nice change in political ideology, President Obama words are bringing to the country. A country with 27,200,000 small businesses in 2008. Each built by some individual, some family, so small group of dedicated people that he offended with with the statement.

Figure if each small business employees only 4 adult persons and in own by a family with 2 voting adults. President Obama in about 1 and 30 seconds was able to offend 170,000,000 adults of voting age with his comment.

What a gift to the Romney campaign. You know Mitt Romney knows only to well how a political gaff can end a Presidential campaign. In 1968, his father was leading the REP polls, when he made the infamous...."I am brain washed" statement. From there it was all down hill for then
Michigan Governor Romney.

President Obama realizes this as well. now the REP are taking out of context and slicing his words to mean something else. But we ahve been very careful to include the entire quote.....because when you read the complete statement....it is even worse.

Dude has totally ignored the hottest political issue in America for the last week. The Obama gaff or ideological statement....depending on the listner/reader...is a potential campaign ender for President Obama.

Polls that him leading, now have have him losing. Rasmucssin had him leading....before those infamous words....now has Romney at 49 and Obama at 43. A near 10 point switch.

So has the man that made his way to the Presidency with his words....just sunk his 2012 Presidential campaign? Unless surrogates like Dude can come in find the IND voter were Romney leads with a 14.4%
The good ship Obama is sinking. Obama has played his last minority card....he has done blacks, gays, hispanics, and women....slowly and steadily Romney pulled even.

Then the big gaff or the big truth on his political ideology came. Suddenly Romney in the quality polls drew to a big lead. That is without naming his VP.....which will only help him by a few points more.

Right now it Romney vs the Obama & Biden team. So Romeny is pulling to a lead all on his own? Or is he pulling to a lead because of the inability of Obama & Biden tean to connect with the American voter this time? With a big gaff or the real ideological position of the Obama & Biden team now known.....I think that it is the later.

When Romney adds his VP next month. A good choice will give him a good bump.

If Obama gaffed himself to losing the 2012, it is the biggest political mistake since George Romney said he was brain washed.
Mitt is not going to make the same mistake.......

RE: JUST THE START OF PROBLEMS AT THE OLYMPICS

Oh my gosh.....some Romney was not being a mitten head when he said there were "concerns" at the London games?.....

The reason they don't have AC in the athlete village....is prepare the athletes for the warm British beers. The only way you can stomache them, is if you are totally parched......

Just goshin....but I know the Ire of England is coming on me.....

RE: FUTURE OF THE EURO

How happy the English are they did not join into the Euro mess. They have to be just twittering in their tea. As the pound stands solid and the Euro nose dives.

But still whether the Pound or Euro or Dollar, it is the debt rung up by a country that weakens its value. Unless you have high GNP, you cannot run up high debt.

But I see the Euro surviving with fewer members.....as Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Greece return to national currencies.

RE: Where the Americans tax payer money goes to?

One thing American tax payer money should do...is to provide for the defense of the country and its people. If foreign country harbor individuals that are threats to not only their own people but also to Americans, then some of that tax money should use to deter such threats.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

TARP I and TARP II.....remember those Washington programs to save banks? Remember your post on how all the money was being repaid?

Well....according Neil Barofsky, special investigator of SIGTARP and author of the book "Bailout: An Inside Account of how Washington Abandoned Main Street"....TARP was a total failure on getting the banks to lend on the housing foreclosed.

The reason Congress voted for TARP was to keep people from being foreclosed on. If you have not noticed in some areas of the country 1 in 10 houses was foreclosed on.

Barofsky says that the banks under both Bush and Obama played the major role in were the TARP funds went. I quote "It was somewhat shocking how much control the big banks had over their bailout
and the overall difference show by the Treasury officials."

So the Fed Gov't pored money into the big banks.....and does it trickle down to the small banks, housing and main street? No. While Obama is big on how trickle down economic has failed. He is the author of biggest attempt in modern time to trickle down TARP funds to main street.

But here are Barofsky numbers on the big bank bailout that has to repaid. Government is expecting to lose...from $32b to $70b that it loaned the big banks in TARP. The biggest loser to todate is AIG with 61% still owned by the government. But more than 50% of the 325 banks that recieved TARP have either missed a payment or interest payment.

Obamaeconomics....good for the rich and wealthy, bad for main street.

RE: Mayan News Flash----Doomsday has been cancelled.

Nice to see you back Conrad.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

I got a invite to contribute...... .....to President Obama campaign. If I send over $3, I might be the lucky winner to get a free airline ticket and invite to his 51st Birthday party.

So I have a choice to make.

Send President Obama $3 dollars and miss my next Big Mac at McDonalds.
Take my chances that he will have a $30,000 per plate birth day party.
A very nice 10000% return on my $3 campaign contribution.

Or

I can take my $3 to McDonald's and have a Big Mac. A pretty sure thing.
That McDonald's will have the Big Mac and even toss in some fries and a drink for $2 more. Is pretty good.

Since he is the President and only has a $1.5trillion dollar government budget and $1b dollar campaign fund so does not seem to be missing my $3.....I think that I am headed to McDonalds.......I like sure things.

RE: Syria. Things are, and, will get more compicated.

Assad never tried to shut the Syria/Iraq border down following the US invasion of Iraq. 100s of alQeada bomb vehicles made the trip to Iraq from Syria. He never shut the manufacturing sites were the bomb vehicles were made. He let foreign fighter from Lebanon across the northern part of the country to Iraq.

But suddenly he is the enemy of alQeada? When alQeada did not have any major strike in his country from 2002 to the SFA rebellion?

Personally, I see a whole lot of quid pro quo here. Assad lets alQeada operate freely inside Syria from 2002 to 2010. In exchange alQeada did not do any attacks in Syria.....well again except for that one failed strike on the US Embassy.

The old (bin Laden) Al-Q considered Iran heretics as well. That does not stop bin Laden's four sons from taking safe house in Tehran.

RE: Syria. Things are, and, will get more compicated.

Pretty sure that when Assad moved his WMDs near the border with Israel.

Israel went on 'high alert'

Meaning Israel's IDF was ready for anything. Speaking of in one small Israeli border town in the north, the Syrian conflict is spilling over.
Seem fleeing Sunni are trying to use it to leave Syria. They don't want to go Lebanon or Turkey.....so are fleeing into Israel.

Funny how Israel knew Assad was moving his WMDs. Almost like they had someone sitting next to him in his war room......

RE: Syria. Things are, and, will get more compicated.

*****Disregard wrong thread post*****

RE: Syria. Things are, and, will get more compicated.

Presidential Polling became a issue last night on Fox's O'Reilly show.

As Bill pointed to one poll that gave President Obama a 6 point lead and then to a another poll that gave Governor Romney a 3 point lead. Bill ask how two polls can have 9 point difference? With two different leaders?

Bill went on to answer his own question.

One poll was done a DEM area with unflitered responses from 'voting age Americans'

The other polls was done from across the country among 'American register and most likely vote' being polled.

Now one poll was sited by a liberal new agency.....and the other poll was sited by FOX. I will let you guess which. But the liberal news agency failed to mention the criteria from which the poll was done.

But anyways, with the London Olympic games beginning. Seems almost right to say the American Presidential Polling Games have begun as well.

RE: Syria. Things are, and, will get more compicated.

You know what is interesting. That alQeada before the SFA rebellion never made a major attack in Syria. You have alQeada doing the bombing of the Turkish bank. The Jordian wedding party. And so many inside Iraq, that everyone lost count. All around Syria from 2002 to 2011.

But in Syria proper, alQeada did very little.

The SFA rebells and suddenly alQeada is around every street corner in Syria.

Well there that one alQeada attack in Syria.....on the US Embassy in Sept 17, 2006 that the Syrian Security forces stopped by killing the four attackers.

So either Assad had alQeada so well inflitrated that alQeada could not strike in Syria. Or Assad was so close to alQeada that they did not attack in Syria.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

Thanks Albert....Dude consistency in finding uTube DEM "facts" while not being able to find hardline REP stats and polls has always been of interest to me......

I had heard the poll figure on _ _ _ Channel....I hated to bring the network name up......it causes so much grief here.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

James Holmes is no right wing loon, Dude. In one of his profiles he said....he is a "mid road". But I don't think so. He is left loon.
I have read net rumors that he vote DEM in last election and was a member of the OWS. Nothing is confirmed yet. So I call them what they are.
