Hey, silly boy, I thought you said if Congress wouldn't "help" you that you'd do it on your own? Well??

Voters have to take some action. This rise in unemployment is unacceptable.

I'm not going to fall in love with Romney.

But it does look like I will be voting for him.

His main attraction for me is that he doesn't hate the USA.

Obama does.

Not sure Mitt will do any good but he won't be actively working for things to get worse out of sheer spite.

( I am not sure if that is damning with faint praise or praising with faint damning.)

Obama spent 3 years playing Golf

Now he has been to 143 events to raise money while GW Bush only has 80

Marx, Engels are in charge of economic policy..I feel bad for whoever the current press secretary is. GUARANTEED EPIC FAIL. Gibbs and the Iraqi Information Minister have both been fired by Team Obama as Press Secretaries. Meet the new White House Press Secretary.....Jim Mora.

"Layoffs!!! Layoffs??? Don't talk about layoffs. Layoffs??!!"
