Up to now he has always been able to hide his past. Now it is about to eat him.

Obama`s problem: His record

The reason Obama`s record won`t matter: Mitt Romney

[cincinnati65]

“How you say it” is half the battle. It’s WHAT you say, and America ain’t buyin’ what you’re sellin’.

[SECURE AMERICA]

“The choice in this election is between an economy that produces a growing middle class and that gives people a chance to get ahead and their kids a chance to get a head,

Since Obama has DOUBLED our children’s debt why would we give him time to triple it? The economy sucks regardless of what his lapdogs in the media report. Obama has seriously hurt America....

[Texas Eagle]

Let’s see if Stretch-a-sketch has the brain power to pick up this gift of a gaffe and do something with it.

Will criticism of his record subject a person to SS investigation?

[Graybeard58]

If Romney is the nominee, (I do not concede that), it matters not a whit to me who wins. If Obama is defeated, that’s nice, if Romney is defeated, that’s nice too. Either way, we are so screwed.

"The reason Obama`s record won`t matter: Mitt Romney"

Ouch...yep. There's an eerie sense of deja vu these days. As was done with McCain, I can't help but feel he's been manufactured, packaged, and sold by the MSM fight fixers as the GOP's "contender." Requiem for a Heavyweight part deux…

[silverleaf]

the obam-economy is good for middle class people like David Axelrod, who just bought a $2 million Chicago condo

How hard are you running to keep up, David?
How about your closest friends and neighbors?
Breaking a sweat because of the evil obstructionist
GOP?

[BubbaBasher]

plenty of evidence to form opinions but no way to settle the matter

Hogwash! 0bama is practically illiterate and can't speak without a teleprompter. Even with a teleprompter he can't say more than three or four words without stopping to read ahead. It sounds like Jonah stuck that in there for PC reasons. He knows better.

[ScottinVA]

There's an eerie sense of deja vu these days.

It's even beyond deja vu... more like foreboding and dread. Even McCain had something resembling a base of support. Romney doesn't elicit excitement from ANY quarter. Most other GOP candidates could gin up excitement of some level. NOBODY outside the GOP-e bubble seems glad to see Romney at the top of the GOP heap.

[Redleg Duke]

It is obvious that the "Anti-Mitten Brigade" is going to be a continuous whine for the balance of the year.

They are busy marginalizing themselves merely because not everyone agrees with them. They forget that politics is the art of the possible.

If they don't plan on voting out Obama, why don't they form a circular firing squad and put us out of their misery?

[BubbaBasher]

Even McCain had something resembling a base of support.

That can be summed up in two words. "Sarah Palin"

[ScottinVA]

She certainly added hugely to it.

[ScottinVA]

They are busy marginalizing themselves merely because not everyone agrees with them. They forget that politics is the art of the possible.

How about... we simply don't agree with Romney's stances and don't believe he deserves our vote?

We've made a lot of noise, especially this year, about America's growing entitlement class. Well, I for one don't believe Romney is "entitled" to my vote simply because he sports an "R" after his name. It works both ways.

[ScottinVA]

why don't they form a circular firing squad

Oh, I'd say the candidates did a fine job of that during the primaries.

[Kaslin]

Because nothing would make them happier then to get that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave reelected and make sure the rats are keeping the majority in the Senate and getting it back in the House

[Jim from C-Town]

He elicits excitement from the GOP establishment. They are ‘certain’ he is the only one who can beat Obama. Why they think that is a mystery to me. I believe that ANYONE with even a modicum of conservative rhetoric and track record would crush this loser Obama. Yet, Romney with no Conservative background ids the ONLY one that can win?

[Texas Fossil]

Probably.
