Anybody but Obama

Obama has lowered the bar for future Presidents

They polled 800 people in Newark who are on welfare and want their checks to keep coming every month. I don't needs a job Obumer gonna take care of me. 47% of Americans do not pay federal taxes. Wake up sheeple.

Right now Repubs are bloodying each other in a contest for right wing voters. Independents, which tend to run middle of the road to slightly right of center (like Romney) now represent almost 50% of the total electorate. Think about that...50% of the nation is so disenchanted with the hijacking of each party by extremists, that we have deserted both parties. I put no stock in primaries because they are both controlled by kooks. Obama's record is very shoddy and getting worse. He inherited a terrible economic situation but is fundamentally changing the economy with just awful policy-making. If Romney can just run on the issues and appeal to middle of the road voters, he should be able to win. If he has to explain his Mormonism, or whether he is a dog-lover, or tries to be an "ordinary" American, he will lose. If he tells the American people what they need to hear about how bad the debt is and the reckless spending, etc., he should win in a landslide. I don't want my President to be a regular guy I can have a beer with. I want him/her to be an accomplished person with superior intellect. If Romney could be himself with Newt's edge and confidence that he displays in debates, Obama wouldn't have a chance. We always say we want someone who understand business. Romney has run private companies, a moderate state government, has integrity and is willing to be pragmatic/change his mind when persuaded. That is a good thing, not this ideological battle everyone else is waging.

Honestly, I cannot understand how anyone who has to get up every day and go to work could possibly vote for Obama. We are literally up the proverbial estuary without the proper means of locomotion.

The only candidate who is working to restore America, and contrary to the mainstream media's lies of him being a kook, is Ron Paul. If you don't know his record or his message, start listening. The rest of them are simply puppets of the same machine that is propping Oscama up right now. With the exception of Ron Paul, every one of the others will tell you exactly what you want to hear regardless of which side of the aisle you sit on.

I am an independent and I will not vote for him again...

Ahh, the republican grumblings begin. When the last republican president took office in jan. 2001, he was handed a $250 Billion surplus; over $450 billion of the national debt paid off, and according to the CBO, if all he did was follow Bill Clinton's path, the national debt would have been paid off in 2011. 8 years later, after mostly republican rule in both houses of congress and the White House, Bush and the republicans hand Obama a $1 trillion dollar deficit and worst financial crises since the great depression, the day he put his hand on the bible. Oh yes, sure look forward to the good old days of Republican rule.

I am sure that the people who pull Obama's strings are very well aware of the points you list. I feel that most of us are. The fault is that he is/was/should have been ready, willing, and able to do something about it. The very least he should have done was to stop all spending and start cutting back - just like every one of us has to do who over extends. He has absolutely no background, no experience and is simply a creation of the media. It seems he was always a child of privilege and was handed too many things. We bought the sizzle. I will vote for his opponent no matter who it is - even though I have preferences.

CaraGia
I agree about divided government. people are people and can't help themselves when they hold absolute power, thus the 26% increase in spending from 2000-2006 of almost entirely Republican rule. Divided government works best. Not sure what the other 3 wars you are refering to (wars?) but keep in mind, the last President who cut spending to the bone when confronted with an economic crisis was Herbert Hoover in 1929-seems like the majority of economists agree that it helped topple our economy into the great depression which we didn't get out of until WWII. I personally like Ron Paul (semi racist that he clearly is) but get over him, he dosn't stand a chance. Undecided as to who will get my vote in November, just waiting for the Republican primary season to play itself out and then get to some real debates. Whe forced to play to the right (or left) in the primaries, all we are left with are cartoon figures.

Outside of the war theatre we just left in Iraq (which we still have troops stationed in, btw), there is Syria, Afghantistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somolia and then there are those activities going on in Uganda, Korea, Australia and about 60 other places besides.

Unfortunately, we have yet to get American's to the point where anyone besides a few realizes that there really is no two party system anymore and hasn't been since about the time you mention HH. Those running the show in this nation do so behind the scenes for the most part in a shadow gov't. Why do you think that none of the policies ever really change and the agenda just keeps rolling forward on the same track.

That is the reason why Ron Paul is the odd man out in gov't and why he's not getting the media attention. In fact, it's all they can do to keep him out of the spotlight as his popularity continues to grow. His agenda is NOT their agenda and for him to achieve the position of POTUS would severely limit their plans of overthrowing US sovereignty with the intent to usher in the new world order, as they've discussed many times. Contrary to popular fiction, it is NOT a "conspiracy theory."

Obama and Biden will not win in November he is a one term President as was Jimmy Carter. Many may blame his failed polices on Bush, but the bottomline, he is a great speech orator but one of the worse President to ever occupy the Oval Office. He has run up a 16 trillion dollar deficit, do any of you defending his spending have any clue what 16 trillion dollars is? 16 trillion dollars? Ricky do you have a clue or are you as brain dead as the rest of the zombies walking around singing kumbaya? LOL All Romney has to do at a debate is have a chart behind him with 16 trillion dollars written on it and everytime it is his time to respond to Obama>>>is smile and point at the sign>>>LMAO 16 trillion dollars 102% of GDP it wont be long till we are bankrupt you morons. 16 trillion dollars that is the deficit, it means we are short that money, yea great idea vote for him again. we'll be like Greece sooner than later we are rank the 10th country in the world with the worse deficit, and he said he would cut the defict in half by the end of his 1st term? yea OK sure you will,can any of you who are supporting him even write 16 trillion? Romney can run with Mickey Mouse and win. MSNBC has the worse ratings in cable news network of course if you watch MSNBC they have him winning LMAO this is comical 16 trillion!!!

Keeping them straight
"Moron's?" Zombies? "Brain Dead"? Really, is that what you feel about your neighbors and fellow citizens who have different opinions than yours? Jimmy Carter was leading Reagan in the polls by a large margin, and then the Iran hostage rescue mission failed and his poll numbers dropped, never to recover. I assume based on your infatuation with large numbers that you must absolutely despise Ronald Reagan, as the national debt tripled under his watch and he undertook the largest tax increase in US history. Obama proposed a 4 trillion dollar deficit reduction last August (remember?), which comprised of 3 trillion in cuts and 1 trillion in taxes, largely based on (like Reagan) cutting tax/subsidy loopholes to the oil industry and corporations outsourcing Amercian jobs overseas. What did the Republicans do? They instead engineered $35 billion in cuts, thus allowing the debt ceiling to go up. What cowards (and I mean both spineless Obama for caving and hypictrical republicans for putting their Norquist "no tax" pledge above their obligation to do whats best for the american people)). Sorry bud, but Obama is very likely to win a 2nd term. Of course, if the Republican convention is deadlocked and we could get Chris Christie to jump in, now that is someone who gets my (and your) vote.

@ Adam yea yea yea keep talking about the past and if my neighbors are dumb enough to give this guy a second term they are drinking the same kool aid as you. 16 TRILLION DOLLARS CAN YOU SPELL IT? we are broke and btw get your facts straight for two years he had a democratic contolled house and senate dont you remember nancy pelosi "well we have to vote for the bill before we can see whats in it" yea yea yea keep drinking the kool aid you will be the fisrt one complaining when they cut your pension, becaause it is already known by your defense of this current administartion you dont pay taxes and want the 1 % who have it to spread the wealth to you, keep drinking the kool aid pssssst ADAM 16 TRILLION can you spell it

When Carter left office our national debt was $1 trillion and coming down (10.3 million jobs created in fours years). Reagan left office our national debt was over $3 trillion and climbing (16.1 million jobs created in 8 years). Bush Sr. left our debt was over $5.7 trillion and climbing (2.6 million jobs created in 4 years). Clinton balanced budgets and kept our debt at $5.7 trillion and left a massive surplus (22.3 million jobs created in 8 years). "W"'s massive tax cuts, expansion of gov't, wars and invasion, etc... left us at just under $11 trillion in debt (less than 2 million jobs created in 8 years, over 750k in jobs lost, per month, his last months in office, unemployment 7.8% and rising his last day on January 19, 2009, plus the DOW was below 8,000, oh, and the Great Recession began in December 2007, etc...). Obama has increased the debt to just under $16 trillion (job creation is over 3 million, unemployment at 8.3% and coming down, the DOW closed today at 13,252 points, Osama is dead, etc, etc...).

As Reagan once asked, "are we better off today than four years ago?". I believe so.

LMAO KOOL AID keep passing it around 16 trillion keep talking about reagan and everyone else>>> anyone else>>> I mean the man is dead. LOL do you two einsteins have any idea what 102% of GDP? 16 trillion maybe four more years of this nonsense and we will be at 32 trillion yea yea you guys know what you are talking about keep talking just say 16 trillion everytime you open your mouth LOL

ulises you "seem" like a smart guy with your stats...got a question you claim unemploymnt is coming down, why is it that wages have dropped or have barely increased in 4 years? If unemployment is going dowm wages would be increasing and they are not. Second do you realize that if you are a black African American in this country under the age of 25 you are part of a group that is in the 20% unemployment rate? do you have any idea what you are talking about or do you just repeat what you hear on MSNBC?

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.
Lol debt is just under 16 trillion like that's not that bad. Obama added more to our debt in 3 years then Bush did in 8 years. Looking at the unemployment number as a real number is a joke and why is it racist to require a photo id in order to vote. Husein Obama is a Socialist America hating Alinsky radical who does not deserve a 2 nd term. Look who he surrounds himself with and tell me otherwise. Ignorance is sweet the truth is bitter...................

I agree with your concerns about the debt because we're going bankrupt. If we close corporate tax loopholes, decrease the size of government, leave the middle-east, lower corporate taxes and bring personal income taxes to the levels under the Clinton Era, not the Bush Error, we'd create growth which will drive up revenue, which in turn will lower our debt. But the Repulicans want to bomb Iran, keep the Bush tax cut in place, and continue down the path that lead us to most of the mess we're still getting of.

I like Ron Paul. He's the only one that speaks the truth, such as war on drugs, borrowing from the Chineese to give $3-6 billion to Isreal, etc... but he can't win. So, I think Obama wins in November.

Just try to be less combative to those that disagree with you so more civil discussion can occur here...

Off topic here, but how about you all read this and think about the ramifications of what the agreement means. Bill Clinton did this to us and it's a doozy, I assure you. Did any of us even have a clue?? Pay real close attention to the details when reading the first page. http://www.theantechamber.net/Mirror/StatutoryInstrument1997.html

CaraGia, something is brewing, I say, why else are there so many TV shows all about end of the world, survival, bunkers, sons of guns, etc... Are the powers that be trying to tell us something? Or am I watching to much Discovery channel? ;o)

That's not what msnbc said. Half of Americans have their head in the sand they will all realize when it's too late. And easy with the facts and numbers liberals get very emotional or pull the race card. The govt machine is full speed ahead. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is looking for contractors to construct temporary emergency camps inside the United States which can be ready for occupancy within a 72 hour time period and used to house emergency responders as well as “displaced citizens”.

The National Responder Support Camp contract, posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website, calls on contractors to “provide all necessary supervision, professional staff, labor support, material, supplies and equipment as necessary to make a RSC within a disaster-impacted area anywhere within the CONUS (Continental United States) within 72 hours after notification.”

Ulises, You may be watching too much TV, but there's no doubt something is brewing. Have you noticed the gov't billboards that are so prevalent in Bergen County lately advising on being prepared? That's no accident. They know what's coming because they're the ones who will implement it. Well, not really "them". More so those who are pulling the real strings behind the scenes.

Why would those all too powerful NGO's such as the CFR and TLC be responsible for "creating" US policy? Why is our nation's banking system run by a private corporation that the US gov't has absolutely NO authority over? Why was the falsified 13th Amendment substituted for the real 13th Amendment and the unratified 14th Amendment allowed to stand. Why, after the Reconstruction Act did US Citizens become corporate entities and no longer private citizens? Why does every state or federal gov't document that you receive have your name in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS?? It's NOT an accident! YOU ARE COLLATERAL to the United States of America, with none of the privileges formerly provided under the original Constitution. You are a slave to the state. Don't believe me???

Study your history friends. THINGS ARE NOT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TAUGHT TO BELIEVE. American history we were taught in schools was either an outright lie or misinformation. You need to know the truth before it's too late. The clock is ticking down rapidly!

All of this is very real. And YES!! You should be alarmed. If you're not, go back to sleep!

Derrick, Let me burst a few bubbles (hopefully the ones around the heads of most sheeple today). The gov't already has, at last count, about 650-800 FEMA camps already established in the continental US. They are referred to as Civilian Detainment Camps. As of last year, on the Reserve web pages, there were adverts for Civilian Detainment Specialists to staff the camps. The camps are already built, stocked and staffed. The only thing missing is the Civilian Detainees, unless you count the few odd ones here and there that already have some unknown persons being held there. I suspect they will start seeing them fill up sometime come late spring or latest mid to late summer.

Remember Oscama promising in at least one of his speeches (I believe it's been several in fact) that ALL American's would work? Remember the Nazi concentration camps and Auschwitz's sign above the gate? It read "Work Makes Free" If not, familiarize yourself with it.

Keep in mind that recently lab created new "super bird flu" they created "just because" and those recently created vaccinations that Oscama gifted his crony pal's company with millions to create when he gov't already has millions in stock for the supposed exact same thing....

My list could go on and on. If you're not aware, time to start catching up. The picture isn't pretty and if you have a family, you really do need to prepare, but make sure it's for long term and that you stock beans, bullets, band-aids and Bibles.

All I can say is that the more who wake up now, the fewer zombies we'll have running around later. We'll have enough to deal with when the pillbillies & junkies can't get their stuff and that goes for both the legal variety and the illegal variety. Read Survivors or Patriots by John Wesley, Rawles. Read One Second After by Forstchen (can't remember the first name). Any of those will give you a real healthy idea of just what it is we are facing. That is, if you're one who wants to know and likes to be prepared.

Remember the Boy Scout motto....

The poll numbers on this town location are useless. They are filled with first time unnamed posters. What a waste.

To CaraGia
I do not think a generation goes by without someone talking about a shadow government operating an agenda to enslave us (remember the Tri-Lateral Commission of the 1970's?). Now we have Zietgeist, the scary Federal Reserve and international bankers as the new boogymen, working hand in hand with the government to enslave us. Sorry, but just don't buy it. People are greedy and they do act in collusion for their own benefit, but such a conspiracy (involving thoudands, maybe tens of thousands of people, the press, etc, all acting in concert) just dosn't wash. The only verified conspiracy that I can recall involved the death of Baby Face Nelson. If you saw the movie/read the book, he was killed in a shoot-out with several G-Men in 1934. In the mid-1980's the last living FBI agent (formally gmen) who was at the scene called reporters to his death bed, and revealed that Nelson (SOB still holds the record for most Federal agents murdered, by bullets at least) had surrendered, was on his knees and pleading for his life. The G-Men surrounded him and executed him on the spot. This was a conspiracy of 8 men and yet the truth did come out. It's easy to blame all that is going wrong on some shadow business/government conspiracy, and I agree that there are crooks and dishonest folks out there, but you give way too much creedence to such folks. Does the defense industry love for the USA and other countries to go to war? Absolutly! This is greed, been going on always.

Of course, by denying that such a conspiracy exists, I may very well be "in" on it. Hmmmmm! People should be talking about the Keystone Pipeline. The real issue is not the route over some environmentally sensative areas, but why it is being routed to the Gulf of Mexico instead of Cushing, Oklahoma, which has more than adequate refining capabilities and whichthe finished oil products get trucked/rail road throught out the USA, keeping our oil prices low. The oli companies want the pipeline routed to Texas so it can be processed and then loaded on tankers and sailed to south america, china and other points where then can make much more $$ than keeping it in the USA. There is no loyalty to this country, folks, just fat profits for the executives and shareholders of these international corporations. Route the darnn pipeline to Cushing and watch oil prices drop! (3 months ago, Connoco Philips, needing $$, sold one of 3 pipelines that go from the Gulf to Cushing to a business group. This group received federal approval to, for the first time ever, change the flow from south/north (gulf to Cushing), to north (Cushing) to south (Texas Gulf coast)-Gas prices shot up 10% on the news (please look this up in the WSJ-nice article on this). PIpeline witll produce 20K jobs, but the intent is to get oil to the highest bidders, which unfortunately exist outside the USA.

A poll like this is meaningless. Disapproval of the job the president comes from both sides. Extreme right-wingers believe that this very centrist president is a Communist. People like me fault him for insisting on believing that he can make common ground with people who hate him and will not compromise on anything. I want to see a president who understands that the things they hold dear, like Social Security and Medicare; public schools and clean water, are programs developed by LIBERALS -- and we should be proud of them. Obama has allowed extremist Republicans to frame the debate. So to the extent I disapprove, it's for that reason.

Regarding the Keystone pipeline. There is nothing in this that assures that the oil would stay in the US. Oil companies make more money on exports, so they ship the oil overseas.

adies and gentleman, there is no conspiracy theory that Obama is going to steal your souls, and change america into cuba, but when these polticians get on tv and try to sell you the idea that people in the middle east want democracy, well thats like white people in Alabama want to wake up black, it's just not happening. as far as Obamas job performance, the only job he has performed well on is his handicap on his golf game, he has spendt more money than the the last 4 administrations, put together the deficit stands at 16 trillion, that is what middle income americans care about, they dont give a crap about all the crazy analogies you try to compare and argue relentlessly on this blog with each other. 16 trillion can you even phathom what that number is? can anyone of you even write it down? and you actually want to give this guy and his merry band of cluless lawmakers an additonal 4 years, not too mention half of his economical advisors have left him? are you folks clueless to even begin a debate defending such spending policies? thank God for us you are here blogging on the Paramus patch and are not in washington making policies. 16 trillion!!! 16 trillion!!! and you actual defend it, LMAO

I agree. $16 trillion is $4 trillion more than than the $12 trillion it would have been reduced to if the Republicans last August had taken Obama's $4 trillion offer of deficit reduction seriously ($3 trillion is spending cuts and $1 trillion in revenue enhancers, largely by cutting subsidies and tax loopholes). Instead the republicans, holding the debt ceiling hostage, pushed through $35-$40 billion in cuts, patted themselves on the back and went home for end of summer vacation. Safe to say the American people will be reminded why our national debt is so high and who is responsible for why it has not been lowered. Of course we can all grow and sell $600 woth of Christmas trees on our property like our "new" congressman Scott Garret and, totally legally, pay $350 in taxes on 4+ acres of land and shift the tax burden onto our neighbors.

4 trillion 6 trillion 8 trillion...should have would have, it is irresponsible governance and the 1st two years of his admin he had a democratic controlled congress and senate and did absolutely nada except pass healthcare and doddfrank instead of focusing on an emploding economy, he bailed out banks, he bailed out auto makers and he provided money to failed green intiatives, so dont you try to pin this solely on repub, the ass who was in the prior got enough blame for de stabalizing the middle east but when he left he handed him a defcit of 500 billion...we are now at 16 trillion and for you to defend his intenetions showsm enothing lees than yopu worship at the altar of a democratic party no diffent tahn those who support the likes of a santorum

Did you not watch Bush in his emergency speach to the nation in November, 2008 about the imminent financial collapse and his executive order to pump $850 billion to the banks? Did you not see outright terror in his face and speach (The Republican operative Ed Rollins said the next day that if you saw that speach and did not immediately take every dime out of your bank and hide it under the mattress, you were nuts). Obama was handed a 1 trillion dollar deficit (not $500 billion) the day he took office. He followed a Kensian economic model of pumping $$$ into our economy to stave off collapse. I believe Bush & Obama when they said that without an immediate and continuing cash infusion into the banking and financial system, we would have very likely slipped into a Depression far worse than than 1929. Most economist would agree that, when looking back at the most recent depression in 1929, the knee jerk reaction of the Hoover administration, to cut spending to the bone, turned a very bad recession into a full-blown depression. 3 1/2 years after this near total meltdown, jobs are coming back and are economy is on solid ground and gaining. I have seen reasonable proposals coming from Obama, including multi-trillion dollar spending cuts and revenue enhancers (identical to what Ronald Reagan enacted); other than proposals to gutting social security and medicare I have yet to see any reasonable debt reduction proposals coming from the Republicans. Have you?

Adam you know absolutely nothing about me, and quite frankly if you think I am a republican you are as empty as the arguements you are pressing. 1st of all you are justifying the meltdown by capitalizing banks and creating too big too fail...keep drinking the kool aid my boy, secondly Bush according to your left hanging rag the Huffington Post handed Obama a 458 billion dollar defict in 2008, for the last 1000 days count em, you can count cant you? the senate control by your democratic warlords havent past a budget, a budget, can you imagine the largest economy in the world and the pied piper of Colorado cant even pass a budget and lets just say for arguement sake we assume your re right and the deficit was a trillion when Bush left office, didnt your guy promise he would cut it in half by the end of his 1st term? in half or did he mean I'll increase it by 16? no Adam you keep repeating the nonsense your hearing on msnbc and keep getting that chill up your leg, you obviusly are as financially assute as your memory serves you, look kid we are 16 trillion in the hole and the guy at the top gotta go, and if he doesnt guess what in 4 years you will be throwing stones and bottles at the cops the exact same way its being done in Greece. but you can stop arguing with yourself, because it doesnt matter what you say, I'll just point to teh sign behind me>>> $16,000,000,000,00, btw did you know the interest on taht number is more a minute than you make a year? LMAO

@ Keepin...although your points of the deficit are well taken...you need to understand this administration has had a Keynesian style fiscal policy. They believe that government stimulus will add to the neccessary spark needed to ignite GDP growth...with that said, many believe without government intervention the system would have collasped causing systemic risk throughout the entire world...it was neccessry to save teh financial institutions, a run on thebanks would have brough the system crashing...I do believe eventually the FED will begin raising interest rates and you will see the dollar index rise causing commodity prices to stabalize.

OK folks, line up on the pro side or the con side. There may be an interesting story here. If only we could have a few people who demonstrate a tiny bit of intelligence.
