Vote for America Obama is America!!!

Looser

Great speech by President Obama!

‎"We believe that when a CEO pays his autoworkers enough to buy the cars that they build, the whole company does better." (Obama)
What did you think of the focus both Biden and Obama put on the auto industry during their speeches? Just right? Over the top?
(And your friendly reminder: there is not a lot gained by name-calling here.)

As George Carlin commented years ago-- The 2-party system is really only ONE party: It's called The Money Party (with two branches).

For Michigan (and America) one focus has to be jobs. We can't recover in what will be a service based economy, health care and IT. We need to produce and sell and people need to have the confidence and the income to buy. Michigan is particularly hurting and saving the jobs of the auto industry and expanding on what can be manufactured here is important to sustainability. I am glad they touched on the topic. I think however it needs to be discussed as a separate issue and not linked to others. I was not impressed with Granholm's delivery of comments and wished she had not been there. Overall the discussion of the auto industry was and is important and the more jobs we can bring back, the better for everyone regardless of party lines.

Jennifer Granholm for President! Before you fall off your chair, I was reading a CNN article on the convention praising how great a job our former govenor did in her speech, bacially lamenting that its to bad she was a Canadian and can't run for President.

This either shows you how cluesless these writers are or how biased their reportng is. Anyone from Michigan would laugh at the prospect after her disasterous tenure here, followed by her quick exit to the left coast and Berkely. I thought I could no longer be surprised. I was wrong....

Agreed Doug, I was just as surprised she was there. Poor choice to come in as representing Michigan-even if it was our past. There (she) was no success story there for our State, nothing.

Nice of the archbishop to show up with a group that cheers and praises killing unborn babies, very Godly sir, NOT

Say No to War, Amnesty and Taxes. Say Yes to Limited Government, Secure Borders and Liberty.
For starters…
• Eliminate unconstitutional direct taxes on wages and salaries.
• Audit all Comprehensive Financial Annual Reports at federal level.
• Eliminate the Federal Reserve or at least the debasing of our currency via debt monetization.
• Encourage free trade with all nations and implement domestic energy independence.
• Remove industrial hemp from DEA control and create new jobs for Michigan in the automobile, agriculture, textiles, food and manufacturing industries!
• Eliminate the current military industrial complex to restore a strong national defense (not expand the current international offense).
• Restore a constitutional republic and the rule of law. Restore federal government role of protecting our natural individual rights instead of eroding them.
• Repeal the Patriot Act and NDAA.
• Withdraw all troops from the Middle East and around the world and re-position them to protect our borders instead.
• Withdraw the U.S.A. from the United Nations completely including Agenda 21 on a federal level.

Wait...no, let's just keep doing more of the same and expect different results.

For one, I don't understand the obsessed demagoguery of the GOP when it comes to former Governor Jennifer Granholm. If I were to fault her on anything is her desire to work in a bipartisan fashion and not understanding that the GOP would never let that happen.

Instead, the GOP in the state senate stalled every major initiative she brought to the table - all in an effort to destroy the state and the Democrats in the political arena. And, it worked. Too bad for Michigan which had to endure eight years of stalled progress as Lansing gridlocked.

For those who participated in these efforts, I'll say this: you violated your oath of office and your moral responsibility to the people represented.

This is what the Godless Party of Food Stamps supports. Hope & Change are now Lost & Destruction:

Brad, you're sorely misinformed. You say voting for Obama assures poverty. Did you know that Obama has created more private-sector jobs in four years than Bush created during his ENTIRE term? And, Obama did it with NO HELP from the Republicans, who have obstructed his attempt to move this economy forward. Worse yet, the Republicans do this with total disregard for American citizens who need jobs--just so they can win back the White House. It's shameless.

You also said that we "need the wealthy" to pay for those in poverty. My friend, don't worry about the wealthy. They are doing fine. In fact, they are the ONLY sector of our society who've done phenomenally well in recent years, thanks to endless tax cuts from the Republicans--all while poor and middle class incomes have stagnated during that same period.

Brad, answer this: Is giving tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires smart use of YOUR money? If you believe that the benefits of cutting taxes will eventually trickle down to you and the middle class, you're in for a LONG wait. It just doesn't happen. In fact, we tried it under "W" and where did it lead us? It crashed our economy.

Brad, finally, were you aware that in modern times, twice as many jobs have been created under a Democrat president than a Republican one? It's true. Look it up.

In conclusion, please stop spouting off about things you know nothing about.

Did anyone notice Jennifer G's makeover, facelift ,moles removed and she wanted to tax haircuts and manicures! She traveled the world on our tax dollars and brought maybe 200 jobs to Michigan, while others were being laid off by the thousands. She was also in cahoots with Kwami. So glad she is gone! plus Clinton as a speaker???? doesn't anyone remember what a liar he is? " I did not have sexual relations with that woman" or how about Didn't inhale".

Char you are too funny!

Lord, I'm so GLAD that our society no longer points-out a woman's LOOKS as their first attribute.

Oh dear Larry - really? So Jennifer never did anything wrong and was in an impossible situation? Oh - I forgot - it was the legislature that stalled all of her wonderful ideas!!!!??? Really, that is just not the case dear. She claimed while in office to blow us away - and if it wasn't for the Republicans in the MI House and Senate - we would be blown to Candada. She really is a great speech-maker, but her ideas are all wrong. Marianne Williamson and Oprah adore her, they have their little group of millionaires who supported Obama and are doing their best to brainwash the women in America. We shall see what they try to pull next. Oprah cried when Obama was elected, and so did I!!!!

I don't know a lot of people who are happy with the current administration. I work with union members, salary personnel, and outside vendors all day long. I would say that 85% of the people that I have talked to will not vote for this President again. I'm always surprised at the polls that show the race so close.
As far as Moley Granholm goes, she looked crazy. she keeps saying that BO saved the auto companies, but that's a lie. George Bush signed the bail out paperwork with a $17.4 billion dollar deal for GM and Chrysler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N5kRVfmMoE
I guess if you keep saying it enough and the media keeps things consistent long enough, people start to believe it. GM is going to file for bankruptcy again because their European sales have fallen way off. The taxpayers are already losing in the deal.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to try the other guy. It may not matter considering Spain is counting our votes now. http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-776220

What now Mr. President? Seems that Jennifer Grandholm was not telling us the truth the other night at the DNC. What's up?

http://therealrevo.com/blog/?p=83047

Random thoughts...
Jennifer-what was she on? Clinton-philanderer and chief! Wasserman-caught in a bold face lie. Biden-dufus, a heart beat way from the presidency. Clooney and Longoria-experts on the economy? Is this the best Obama can do to represent/speak for him? Scary, very scary indeed.
Obama Care-not good enough for him, the legislature or the unions-but good enough for me?
GM-$26 billion that will never be paid back. Forbes has predicted GM will go under 3-4 years. What then?
For, me it really comes down to the fact that we cannot keep printing and borrowing money from China. And this precisely what Obama intends to do.
Obama must go. He had his chance and he blew it.

Erin....

Please look up any other source to satisfy your curious mind. I used those sites because they were convenient. There are plenty other articles that state the same thing.

The difference between many on this board and I is that I LIVED IN MA when Romney was governor. I have seen what he can do first hand. If I wanted to get the economy started I would go with a very successful business man and governor over our current lead from behind occupier of the white house.
Our debt and deficit is already killing us. Obama says he'll use the money to support the war to building bridges and highways. That money is being borrowed right now. Is an empty argument and most people know it. Each person owes $140,000 to pay of the problems we have.

Is it fair that people have made welfare a lifestyle versus working? I don't know about you, but I'm all for taking care of the sick and old, but able bodied people should be allowed a window to use welfare and then come off it. Entitlement reform is needed as well as auditing the spending in our country. I don't want to see my taxpayer money going to artists who get paid to put a cross ina jar of urine, but we pay it regardless if we agree with it. I will support what I know. Mitt Romney will get the job done.

Erin,

Nice name. Neither of the candidates are perfect, but I can see Romney making a major impact in a positive way. I have seen him work with others of varying political beliefs.
I have more hope of a brighter future with Romney in office. I think if he gets in, jobs will flow because he will make things easier for business to succeed. I would also bet that he gets them to bring corporate money back from PO boxes in low tax havens in Europe for a one time tax at a reasonable rate.
Like I said before, I'm not blind in this process. I would rather believe in a brighter future for all Americans versus coddling the 47% of those who continue to be on government assistance. Job growth will help people feel good about themselves again and give them self worth.
People have given up and they feel that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. The existing president wants to keep people under the government's thumb to ensure the voting base is tied to the democratic party.

Romney has my vote because he has talked about making America great again. Obama has old stale quotes that the public does not believe in anymore. He has been exposed as a big government President and out country needs a more nimble entity versus the bloated behemoth it has become.

Good bless everyone as they make their decision.

Well Mr. President..........explain this one? Hypocrite? We know you are! Can the Patch .......patch this onto the President so we can get a reply?

Ahh! Such short memories we all have.

4 years ago, I was out of work, and of all the people I know, most of them were too. Notice how quiet the do nothing congress has been? The republican majority Congress?

It's not Obama holding us back, it's the republicans and their "Jam it down you throat" mentality.

Wise up! The Presidency is being bought! Nobody living in Shelby Twp. is rich enough to be a republican.

That's too funny! Wyandotte, Shelby, and everywhere else in Michigan has no conservative people living in your area! Keep telling yourselves that.
There are plenty of conservative people in or state.and you may even live next to one of them.......ooooooooh noooooooo! It can't be!
If Obama gets elected again we'll all be worse off. Since he has come into office, there has been no budget and that doesn't have anything to with republicans. Obama's last proposal got voted down with no support from anyone in his own party. He was like the Lions 0-16! Even his own party knows his money management skills are terrible.
The Democratic led Congress has failed to close the check book and.we as taxpayers have suffered for it. By the way the house is led by republicans and Congress is led by democrats. On top of that Obama had super majority for his first two years.
Don't give me that republicans are the problem. Obama had to use the nuclear option to get his health care through. He operates by executive order versus working with the process. He is officially the worst President in the history of the US. He lacks the knowledge to make the economy go and how would he? He was a professor and community organizer in one of the most corrupt cities in the world. This has been one of the biggest disappointments or country had ever experienced. When he goes, it will be.for the better.

The Republicans critized President Clinton because he was not a military veteran, where is that argument with Romney? Where is the argument that you don't change presidents during a war? I heard all this criticism from republicans for 20 years, so now it is not an issue! Interesting how the hypocricy is so rampant in the republican party. Oh yes where is Sarah Palin and her devote following? looks like they have been shut down by the republican party. Where is the T.E.A. party and its devote followers in the republican party?

Lets not forgot "don't ask don't tell" can't have gays in the military because the military would fall apart, another republican obstructionist attitude and vote getter for the radicals that rule by fear.

The tea party will vote Romney because they know BO will continue to ruin the country. They also work on a local level. Watch the congressional votes. Just like democrats, the tea party will fall in line to get rid of BO!

Good Luck out there getting a job if Obama gets another 4 years. He has used our tax dollars to outsource oil, coal, automotive jobs, yes automotive jobs, as well as our technology to Russia & China (aren't these communist countries?). Romney is doing legally what a free man wants to do with his own money. He is not using ours and throwing away billions on energy that doesn't work instead of using our natural resources here. Obama wants to give the U.S. a smaller footprint in the world - using our money to do it! Wake up America!

Senator Carl Levin has now jumped into the snake pit like the rest of the Democratic Party and has been spreading lies and innuendos about the challenger to Barack Obama. For this, he should resign.

"Osama Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!!!!!"

I can just hear them prepping Granholm for her big speech: "OK, talk sort of black but not as much as Joe Biden or Obama would...Just add as much ebonics as you can get away with considering your pasty white complexion and Canadian birth." Her performance was so gratuitous I wanted to PUKE! It was really that bad and that hackneyed. And the idiots cheering for her? I say Honey Boo Boo for the Democratic nomination.....I bet even Ed McNamara wanted to puke from beyond the grave. How can African Americans hear someone like Granholm or Biden speaking to them like that and not want to punch them in the nose? What are they thinking? "Listen to her! Jennifer Granholm is just like us!" She should stick with her talk show because she has to be one of the worst actresses and orators I've ever heard.

"Osama Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!!!!!"

The SEALS blew Osama away and Granholm blew GM away.....

Shall we forget "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"? Such anger

Let's not forget republicans saying during President George W. Bush's re-election campain "You don't change presidents during a war." I believe there is still a war on.

Is Romney a war veteran??? That arguement was used by the republicans against President Clintons election. So easily led. President George Washington warned of party loyalty, and I see why.

The republicans policy is no goverment interference in the free market, so you can not blame President Obama then. Especially from a party that called President Obama a Muslum, and oh yes what about not being born in the United States, the good old birth certificate baiting that the republicans were using even up to this year.

Where is Sarah Palin and why did she not speak at the RNC?

"NOMINATION" ???? H-mmm
Accept "responsibility" first, Mr O.
Accept the "JOB DUTIES" to get things done.
Accept the Facts: You inherited "The Greatest Military in the World"
Accept the Facts: There are "MORE UNEMPLOYED" today than the day "YOU"
took office.
Accept the Fact: Obama-Care? There is No care in Obamacare-- IT IS A Health-TAX. Only Doctors, nurses,hospitals, Rx can provide health care.

Why shouldn't 26 year olds and pre-existing conditions be paid by those who want it. over 250mil people already have sufficient health care.
Let's just give anyoone who "Proves" they earn less than $20,000 the necessary $5,000 to buy thier own Health insurance.

That plan would save your "stupid" obama-TAX from all of us.
Anyone who votes for Obama because of the Health-TAx is a "hypocrite" to society.
That you would force others to pay for non-workers, lazy people, drug addicts, unwed mother babies, in the name of "COMPASSION"
The real "free-loaders" are those who spend their money on Luxuries like ipods and cable and car radios while never saving One cent for that doctor visit.
Yet, those are the ones that like Obama--He feels their pain.
Give me a break, because I feel Obama supporters are "selfish" and contribute to the crime of "stealing" from hard-working Americans.

GM (A Corporation) is "PEOPLE" it is Alive! Declared Biden & Granholm.
Rebuttal Corporations "ARE" people.
Why? Corporations:
1) Have checking accnts.
2) Can be sued
3) Can sue
4) Pay taxes PAY TAXES! PAY TAXES! (well sometimes)
5) Are 'born" (articles by the people stockholders)
6) Are "aborted" (by stopping business)
6a) Can file BANKRUPTCY like people.
7) can Die ( by dissolution)
8) Get sick-- (that's losing money some years)
9) can gamble (develop new products)
9a) Can sign CONTRACTS. Like people.
9b) Can hire lawyers.
10) can own cars
11) can buy medical insurance
12) pay bills---Can invest in stocks--can own computers--

YEP! So next time Biden says: GM LIVES! remember that's WHAT PEOPLE DO.
I guess Biden agrees that GM LIVES! (It has a "life" like people-persons)

Obama "Resurrected" GM from the Dead. !!!!!
The "Messiah" has certainly proved that-- GM (A Corporation) is a Person-PEOPLE coming back from the Dead..
(he saved millions of "people" jobs by the many Corporations doing business with GM). ( Catholics believe in 3 persons in one GOD-- so is GM millions of "Person's" in one CORPORATION?
Any one person self-employed or (Corporation) is a "PERSON"
Geez-Democrats love re-defining America. It shows on every thing they say.
Corporate wedding is called "A MERGER"
Marriages Between a (steelmill-steelmill), (CornFlake-FrostedFlake)
Group marriages between (Apple-Ipad-netflix)
WOW! Coporations are Democrats!!!!!

Why won't Romney release 12 years of tax returns like his father stated........

Mr. Paul Revere, Please be respectful. I do not appreciate being called "ignorant", "uninformed" "lazy".

Both sides of the spectrum have their talking points. Many of the things that have been discussed can be twisted to either side. The government is bloated and we do not have enough revenue to continue to grow entitlements including healthcare for EVERYONE.

When will we address that? The democrats have put forth no budget since BO has come to power. How does this continue? As far as Bill the cigar king, republicans controlled the purse strings and got the surplus.....not cigar boy.

The republicans kept Bill in check. He had to work with them. BO may use executive orders at a lesser rate, but the issues he bypasses are big.
Can we all agree that the spending needs to stop? Or are we so partisan that we can't even see that? I don't know about you, but I REFUSE TO LEAVE MY KIDS WITH A MESS LIKE THIS. I would like to see a flat tax and Everyone pays. No more freeloaders. It's time everyone has some skin in the game.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Everyone should watch this video before they cast their vote for President.

In his own words:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8R5GvwUFU8&feature=share

@ FH and Erin,

You really should go see the movie, 2016 - Obama's America before you vote for Obama....you will see what will be left of this country. You won't have to worry any more about the mess your children are dealing with... for in another four years he will bring this great country and it's people to it's knees!!!

http://2016themovie.com/

FHVoice, Very intelligently stated.

I do not understand the loyalty to the republican party after the republican party has accused President Obama of not being born in the United States and calling him a Muslum! All lies.

I think we should agree to disagree and give our inbox's a rest. And Vocce....You need to get a grip and throttle back on your racist remarks. I think we can all agree on that.

Mike don't you remember that Movie last election Farenhit 911! a democrat farce about a very tragic time for Americans. Why did people go see that?

Okay, now we're talking about a movie. Time to close this down!

We're talking about a movie because it reveals who the President is: a man with a troubled background raised by radical socialist/communist/ anti-colonialism people and less experience than anyone on this blog....someone who duped America! People liked Hitler too...

Barack Obama..........."Forget all of my promises". Is this guy for real? What a loser! Democrats fall for his continued failed policies. They are now known as "The Godless Party of Food Stamps"!

" Mission Accomplished"

The party of fear! LOL

I'm convinced that nothing I or any of you are saying is going to sway any of us one way or another. I just hope you recall the Bush years and how they worked out for the country.

2 wars, deregulation for the super rich, ending in a financial meltdown and huge bonuses for those who brought it all crashing down.

Stop letting the republican fear mongers, talk radio spewers of hate & political ads brainwash you. You're absorbing their hate! Exactly what they are striving for. (aka: brainwashing). Stop watching those ridiculous youtube videos created by those who want you to cram their beliefs down your throat! Make up your own minds, based on your own life and those you love and how their situations were at the end of 2008.

Hell, GW and Dick Cheney must've done ok.....they didn't want to be part of their convention. What does that tell you?

geez life is so full of choices.... Hmmm... do i wanna be one of the sheep or praytell aspire to be a shepherd?

Even his some of his liberal supporters are beginning to see what a failure of a leader he is!

Arrogant, aloof, and unprepared is how Bob Woodward portrays President Obama in his new book The Price of Politics, set to be released next week.

http://washingtonexaminer.com/woodwards-devastating-account-of-obamas-failed-leadership/article/2507195

By listening to Fox news and the likes of Rush Limbaugh, a person has already become one of the herd.

Why are so many Americans politically "illiterate"... why are so many Americans not understanding the real meaning of our Consitution, why are so many Americans not understanding what Socialisme has done to Western Europe.... May be our educators and the school systems agenda fell short...?
This is our country, our Consitution and the Government belongs to us, we don't belong to them...
When are we going to wake up and institute some real "change"...I hope soon..

GM- Corporation IS ALIVE!
It must be a "PERSON"

Yep- Bankrupcty coming again--"DEAD"
That make GM a "Person Corpse"

Or will it Get into a "marriage"? Maybe (Merger?)
What about a mixed Marriage? Maybe Amtrak marries GM.

Or (Same-Auto-mariage)-Corporation marriage---Gm marries-the subsidiary VOLT!

Wow! Is GM a Liberal?
GM is still getting major subsidy from Obama.
1) It does not have to pay taxes on it's profits for 10 years.
2) Every Volt sold gets GM a $9,000 checks from the Govt.
3) GM pays No interest on the loans.
4) GM will never pay back about $25Billion received to keep jobs of the highest paid workers in America.

AND BIDEN DECLARES GM IS ALIVE.

It will be history in 7 years. Without the subsidies, GM would be reporting Losses.
Wake up OHIO and Michigan, It's your Governor's who are turning your state around. Not Government-Motors.

Go! Jan & Sarah:
So much Truth in what you say.
I'll soon become history again after this election.
But, You guys are real Patriots. Keep speading the truth.
Maybe just one Major media outlet will come to tell all the people that
this country is not doing that well. The question should be "Is the Country better off than 4 years ago".
Why, because Public Service employees are doing just fine.

Paul Revere was a patriot. PaulRevere is not. The real Paul Revere did not waste time exalting the virtues of the East India Tea Company - a corporation - over the rights of human beings. In fact, he played a significant role in the defense of this country, rejecting rule by plutocrats of the day, and would never have rooted for our country to fail to advance the interests of partisan political hacks.

The writer here using Paul Revere's name in vain. Answering his missives (such as his regurgitating the same stuff on Sep. 8 & Sep. 10 for example) is like playing whack-a-mole. The only real answer for this kind of troll is to make sure his posts don't appear on the front page.

GM is alive?
GM is on a respirator.
Sadly, time to get real, end the hemorrhage and pull the plug.
