I don't believe the stories about Caine (whereas I did believe Clinton). I find it VERY curious that Caine was in the public eye for months, yet these women did not materialize until he took the lead in the polls. Then, once he withdrew, they mysteriously disappeared.
Here are a few national stats to help fill in those blanks, Ttom.
There are 5.5 million fewer jobs right now than there were when Obama was inaugurated.
Since Obama was sworn in about 3 million people have dropped out of the jobs market. These people are no longer even bothering to look for a job. If they were still in the market – still hopeful – the unemployment rate would be about 10.8%.
For young workers 20 to 24 the unemployment rate is 13%. For Hispanic teenagers it’s 30.5%. For black teenagers it’s 37.9%
Through June of 2011 private sector hiring was 10 times slower after the passage of ObamaCare than it was in the 16 months prior to ObamaCare.
In the first months of 2012 layoffs have risen 18% from a year ago. Hiring plans have dropped 82%.
Under Obama food stamp use has increased by 41%.
Every 7th person you pass on the sidewalk is on food stamps.
You're 100 percent correct that all of this is just a distraction to the REAL issues pertaining to this election - but that is also part of Obama's strategy (and I would contend it is backfiring). Obama's poll numbers are terrible for a standing president - and they are still dropping. Of the $101 million Romney raised this past month, it is said that 94 percent came from little people like me who donated $250 or less. There is a ground-swell of people who remain fixed on the real issues and realize all these petty issues are just a deliberate distraction - but mostly by Obama's team, not Romney's.
"A nation-wide network of researchers has sprung up to attempt to fill in the blanks, but at every opportunity Obama’s high-priced lawyers have built walls around various records or simply made them disappear. It is estimated that Obama’s legal team has now spent well over $1.4 million dollars blocking access to documents every American should have access to. The question is why would he spend so much money to do this?
The president who campaigned for a more “open government” and “full disclosure” will not unseal his medical records, his school records, his birth records or his passport records. He will not release his Harvard records, his Columbia College records, or his Occidental College records—he will not even release his Columbia College thesis. All his legislative records from the Illinois State Senate are missing and he claims his scheduling records during those State Senate years are lost as well. In addition, no one can find his school records for the elite K-12 college prep school, Punahou School, he attended in Hawaii."
And just so you know, I truly love your fabulous country and am still considering a move over there. I also have a financial interest in NZ...so I'm on your side when it comes to doing what's best.
If you feel like a fairly dry read, here is the most concise listing of some of Obama's many mysteries. I distrust all media as a rule - but this particular article is helpful in the sense that it condenses all the very abnormal mysteries surrounding Obama.
I don't think it would have made any difference if he had been honest about it, but when you obtain the nation's highest office through deliberate deceit it's another thing entirely. One has to wonder the motive behind it.
Mitt has been in the public eye for most of his life and his past has been much more well documented than Obama's. From all I have seen and read in the past three years, the only "wiff of impropriety" is coming from Obama and his administration who seem to get caught in scandal after scandal.
If you're looking to protect your gorgeous country, you will be much better off with Mitt.
I think it's quite possible that Obama did claim Indonesian citizenship in order to gain entry to Colombia and Harvard. It would explain why he spent so much money having his college records sealed, and how he was able to travel to Pakistan during the time when US citizens were not allowed to travel there.
It's highly unusual for any standing president to be so secretive about his past...especially regarding college records. After all, nobody really cares about the grades, so what's to hide?
You keep forgetting that Bush was saddled with a Democratic Congress - and it's Congress that spends the money. Bush approached them over and over to reform Freddie and Fannie before the housing bubble burst and started the whole collapse - and he was systematically voted down by the Dems who claimed there was nothing to worry about.

RE: Absolute proof' Obama was Indonesian citizen
