In his defense he's never run a business or even worked a real job a day in his life. Hard to expect somebody to have a grasp on something when they've never actually been exposed to it.

But he didn't have a silver spoon !!!!

If there is any question from anybody that Romney is just "Obama-Lite"; this should settle it.

Obama has abandoned any pretense of "reaching out".

He has made the decision to fire up the base, thinking that will be enough to win re-election.

He is showing disdain for entrepreneurship. He is showing his true colors & affirming what many of us felt that we already knew - he has a fundamental belief that the "rich" just got lucky or stepped on someone to get successful. AND that without some help from the government. nobody would ever have a chance to "make it".

And then there is what conservatives believe. The power of the government is something that is granted by the will of the people.

There is a fundamental "core belief" difference between the two men.

Barry needs to be sent packing, if for no other reason but to demonstrate that high office cannot be won by pandering to the extreme left.

I was talking to some coworkers on the last hour of work today about the upcoming election. As we were discussing it, it occurred to me:

What I cannot fathom is how there is anyone who still supports this idiot. We've got the worst economy since the 30's and they think a guy who's got less business experience than the manager at their local McDonald's is the answer.

It's because we tried your side's plan and it drove us into the ditch to start with. Further greasing the rich won't do s**t, they'll just sit on the $$. The only thing that will get the economy going again is if the middle class has some spending money. That's the only way these sainted 'job creators' will grace us with their benevolence

Worked a real job... This sh!t again? *smh* Just because you couldn't hack teaching doesn't mean it isn't a real job. And it's a hell of a more noble occupation than investing other people's money into companies before you rip them up and send their jobs overseas.

You know that the sayin is  "if you cant do, Teach"    This is really gonna piss you off  LOL


in response to Obamas people helped you get there.   Also people compete and try to go against you if its not in their best interest. In the end you did it yourself.  Like crabs in the bucket when one tries to rise to the top  people will pull you down.

I wasn't aware that you had personal control over 50 or 60 electoral votes by yourself. Do the Koch brothers know about this?

I really pity you sometimes. "My side's plan" had nothing to do with driving anything into any ditch. Here.... read and learn....

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government-sponsored enterprises (GSE) that purchase mortgages, buy and sell mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and guarantee nearly half of the mortgages in the U.S.^{[dubious – discuss]} A variety of political and competitive pressures resulted in the GSE taking on additional risk, beginning in the mid-1990s and continuing throughout the crisis and their government takeover in September, 2008.^[36][37]
HUD loosened mortgage restrictions in the mid-1990s so first-time buyers could qualify for loans that they could never get before.^[38] In 1995, the GSE began receiving affordable housing credit for purchasing mortgage backed securities which included loans to low income borrowers. This resulted in the agencies purchasing subprime securities.^[39] In 1996, HUD directed Freddie and Fannie to provide at least 42% of their mortgage financing to borrowers with income below the median in their area. This target was increased to 50% in 2000 and 52% in 2005. In addition, HUD required Freddie and Fannie to provide 12% of their portfolio to “special affordable” loans. Those are loans to borrowers with less than 60% of their area’s median income. These targets increased over the years, with a 2008 target of 28%.^[40]
In 2004, HUD ignored warnings from HUD researchers about foreclosures, and increased the affordable housing goal from 50% to 56%.
In addition to political pressure to expand purchases of higher-risk mortgage types, the GSE were also under significant competitive pressure from large investment banks and mortgage lenders. For example, Fannie's market share of subprime mortgage-backed securities issued dropped from a peak of 44% in 2003 to 22% in 2005, before rising to 33% in 2007.^[41]
In the early 2000s (decade), Fannie Mae aggressively bought Alt-A securities, where these loans may require little or no documentation of a borrower’s finances. In the early 1990s Fannie Mae had abandoned Alt-A products because of their high risk of default. As of November 2007 Fannie Mae held a total of $55.9 billion of subprime securities and $324.7 billion of Alt-A securities in their portfolio.^[42] As of the 2008Q2 Freddie Mac had $190 billion in Alt-A mortgages. Together they have over $500 billion in Alt-A mortgages

Guess who was behind virtually all of these moves that created the housing bubble which is what brought the economy crashing down?

I could give you a proper rebuttal of how dumb that saying is or of how many people were great at teaching because that was their calling, not a fall-back, but I think I'll stick with this photo. I guess you can have it all and teach others as well
