I voted for President Clinton in 1996 and I'm glad I did. Clinton has called Obama and "amateur" and Clinton was RIGHT. President Obama's people accused Clinton of racism in 2008 and that was dead wrong. Clinton is being a loyal party guy to support Obama.

Obama is no Clinton. Clinton was experienced in governing, Obama is not. Clinton had expertise in economics, in a way that blended good Republican and Democrat ideas. Obama's experience is basically a Liberal faculty lounge on campus.

I'll be fine regardless who wins. Life has been good to me, I'm lucky. But America will have a permanent, poorer under class if America doesnt' change course now.

Romney isn't some scary Falwell Republican. Heck he governed the most Liberal state in America. I'd rather have a guy who has real world experience, both good and bad, instead of a guy who went from campus, to campus, to Chicago thug politics, to the Senate for a few months, and then to the Presidency.

Clinton vs Romney? I'll take Clinton.

Obama vs Romney? I'll shine Mitt's shoes.

Obama and his supporters are committed to a heavy presence and respect of Pennsylvania votes and needs....I look forward to hearing Clinton help us stay of the path to recovery under Obama.

If you knew Bill Clinton or ever shook his hand, you know he is a man of the people & he would never support someone who was not looking out for all of US...Clinton is here, there & everywhere because he knows Obama is on the forward looking path to recovery for all, & Romney is a return to failed polices of the economic past & social conservativism that refuses to support equal pay (Ledbetter Act), Healthy Families Act, & Roe v. Wade...because he believes women have the right to be treated fairly & make their own decisions....Go OBAMA

As for Romney...I could never vote for a man who does not even know himself, & hopes by giving so many different positions on practically all issues, people will think he agrees with them & will back their positions even if he has no convictions:

IS today's Romney:
1. Pro-life (2012) or Pro-Choice (Mass)
2. Against bailout (2008) or for it after its succeeds (2012)
3. For Universal Healthcare (Mass) or Against (2012 Primaries) or for unknown goodparts & against unknown bad parts (debates 2012)
4. Against all Obama's Foregign Polices (2012 Primaries) or agree with most of them (Debates 2012)
5. Against FEMA (Primaries & debates) or for FEMA (now that they are needed due Sandy)

The list can go on, but I know people have mainly made up their minds, I only hope and pray for US that it will be Obama, as a return to failed policies under Romney will only be divisive to civility, independence, freedom, economic recovery....

Vote Obama 2012. The rest of America is just like Newtown. EVERYONE has great paying jobs, German cars to show everyone how smart they are, and a collection of overpriced yet mediocre restaurants. Everything has been easy for the rest of America.

Obama 2012

Gee TMFCAQ, a bit bitter aren't we?

Looking FORWARD to 2013 and beyond

Bitter? How about a president who tells his people to go out and vote for revenge! What the hell does that mean? Revenge for what? Obama is a desperate man who has failed terribly. I am still waiting for one liberal to explain the failures of Libya to me. Why were the pleas for help not answered? Every American should be outraged! These people who serve this of country proudly are mothers, daughters, sons, fathers etc...it's all so sad that they are expendable when the story doesn't fit the Obama agenda! So sad!

After someone trespassed onto my yard to slash my Obama/Biden sign with a knife, I felt that I needed to make people aware that the FBI has a hotline you can call if you feel that some of our more enthusiastic neighbors are trying to keep you from voting the way YOU want.
FBI Voter Intimidation Hotline: 202-514-1888
You can sneak onto my property in the dead of night and damage my possessions because you are a coward with a different opinion from mine, but I'll report you if you try to keep me from voting on election day.

Please listen to Obama's entire speech, not picking out one word out of context...Obama is advocating using the voting booth to express one's opinions instead of Republicans who are destroying signs, falsely telling people they need ID when they don't, sending notices of the wrong date of the election, showing guns to democratic voters as they "canvass", flat out lying, flip flipping for whatever their audience wants to hear at the moment...once you listen to the entire speech perhaps you will not only understand the this is another twisted and inaccurate distortion by Romney, but perhaps, you might finally be pushed over the edge by the lies and endorse a candidate, the President, who is proud to serve and listen to all the people....

It's amazing how many of Obama's statements need explaining. How any times have I heard the phrase "out of context" in regard to this sad excuse for a president!

Btw Ken....guess he DIDN'T listen to his people in Libya! Still no explanation for that?...crickets!

This is stunning: Even though Obama readily states on an unaired portion of his interview with 60 minutes on Sept 15 that it was a terroristic attack, it's clear that both he and his minions changed their story for the next 2 or 3, probably because it went against their message that they won the war on terror.

CBS is complicit since the interview they aired on that Sunday evening contained Obama's attacks on Romney but not the real facts on Obama's read of the incident that directly contradicted Susan Rice's remarks on the 5 morning shows earlier that day including Face the Nation, which is from the same news division! Here CBS comes clean: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57538689/emails-detail-unfolding-benghazi-attack-on-sept-11/

Why would the Obama team do this? It's just plain stupid. The unecessary cover-up was worse than the event itself (except to the 4 dead and their families). The Benghazi killings while being both tragic and serious would not have been much of an enduring story if they didn't create their own story. It happened and considering the risks in the unstable area, it wasn't too surprising or shocking to hear about it in the news, no matter how well protected (or not) the consulate was. I probably would have accepted it as a cost of conducting necessary business in a dangerous place and thank them for their service. Ultimately, this tragedy is irreversible, so why create silly false stories that added nothing. Just foolish.

I have to wonder what any Romney suporters are thinking. Who knows Romney better than anybody? How about the state who actually voted him in before, as Governor. So let's take a moment to look at how the only state who has any working knowledge about how Romney governs, is voting...

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/ma/massachusetts_romney_vs_obama-1804.html

The average of all polls, whether you believe some to be conservative or liberal leaning, still gives Obama a 20+ point lead. So my question is, why aren't more people paying attention to this? You can't shrug it off that it is MA and they always lean this way, because they voted Romney himself in as a Republican. The reality is that Romney can't even get close in this election in the only state that he has governed before, where the people actually know what you get if you vote for Romney. If he was the success that he pretends to be in MA, don't you think that he would be leading in MA or at the very least, have a close race going on there?

Romney's Words

47%

Let Detroit go bankrupt

Planned Parenthood- Get Rid of that

End Roe v. Wade

How many other statements of Romney do you need to hear to understand why both his birth state and the state that knows him best are going STRONG for Obama.

Watts...why weren't the calls answered? You are just like your leader.....no answers. No wonder you have a love affair with this loser! Make up whatever facts fit your story! If you watch the entire speech (the full context you seem to love) his reference to terrorism was not attached to his part of the speech regarding Libya it was a general statement about terrorism. It really doesn't matter. Bottom line...He still had his people go out and spread a lie about a freakin youtube clip. He never answered the calls for needed security prior to 9/11/12 for additional security. There is NO excuse for that! PEOPLE are DEAD. Maybe you would care if it were someone you loved! He is a disgrace!!!

Actually, he wanted to listen to his people LAST YEAR on Libya and continue the military presence, but was blocked by Republicans back in June of 2011. Even Senator Linsey Graham, the REPUBLICAN from South Carolina was disgusted. He said "“I’m very disappointed in Congress… Congress took an irrational view of the War Powers Act. I guarantee you that a lot Republicans who wanted the War Power Act invoked would not have asked for it to be invoked if President Obama were not president. To me, national security should be as bipartisan as possible.”

They were warned by their own people: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/2chambers/post/conservatives-warn-house-republicans-not-to-defund-libyan-mission/2011/06/20/AGqgcNdH_blog.html

Their desire to block the President is what lead to this debacle.

I would be more inclined to take you seriously if your name was Concerned American! Lol! You people are unbelievable. The crap you pull out and spin and mix and twist...all to serve your storyline....you deserve a gold star!

I just had some sneak into my yard and damaged my property with a KNIFE. You're insane if you think I'm putting my name out there.

Name calling gets you nothing. The fact is that they tied his hands, it lead to this. Their own party knew it was a mistake. Shame on THEM.

And I'm an American JUST LIKE YOU. But I try to stay based in the facts of the issue. Facts are facts. You can't deny what happened was started last year.

Right now I need to find a way to be able to express my opinion without some knife wielding republican supporter from coming into my yard.

The need for extra security was DENIED because it didn't fit the Obama storyline that the terrorist are on the run! It had nothing to do with last year...please! So sad if you truly believe that. Btw I didn't call you a name. I just didn't understand your need to be a Democrat over an American! I certainly don't use my full name! Also, my Romney sign was stolen. Does that prove anything, but there are a holes on both sides? Is every Republican a knife wielding sign slasher now? I would like to point out that the one man who promised to pull us all together has done more to divide this nation than any president before him. People on both sides are full of hate, intolerance, envy, fear etc...that is one good reason for change. We are on a horrible course as a nation. I have never been full of so much fear of what we are becoming. I knew I was in trouble when my president referred to me as his enemy. He forged through healthcare when the majority of Americans were against it. Don't forget all the deals he made to get that fiasco passed! He should have focused on the economy. We are in sad shape and he is still blaming Bush. Give me a break! What will he do differently? He already said it could take 10 years to turn things around. In conclusion, I do believe we all need to express our beliefs and frustrations. It is a scary time. This is one way we can come together, even if it is to disagree. No matter which way it turns out, I pray God watches over all of us!

Wow co2...very impressive! I don't think I have a rebuttal! Yours words of wisdom overwhelm me! Let's see what Tues. brings. Either way I win. Romney wins and we all win or Obama wins and he proves what a loser president he really is! Of course we won't blame him though because NO president could have done better! :( Even Obama said it will take 10 years for any president to bring things back! It must be so! He had it so tough! If he couldn't handle the last 4 years, how will he angle the next 4!

Susan@Watts, there is more than one woman with the same name, I do understand how The Supreme Court works. Again another angry Democrat.

Watts, is that a picture of you, Obama or Oscar Proud? Lol! You still haven't answered my questions...WHY WERE THE CALLS FOR MORE SECURITY DENIED? Can I make myself ANY more clear?

For those who don't know Oscar Proud, please google him! Ha ha ha!

Too much hate and polarization on both sides. A person should be able to express their opinion and state their support without ridiculous name-calling and assinine conspiracy theories leveled. You can hate Obama all you like, but it doesn't make Romney a better candidate. The GOP failed to put forth a worthy choice, and now their only hope is to marginalize their opponent as best they can, thus appealing to the most extreme fringe of the electorate. It's like common sense has gone out the window. The seeds of the recovery are taking hold, but that simply isn't enough to convince the fringe. They'd rather bet on the best of the worst that the GOP had to offer. Sad.

Amend, where have you been? What name calling and conspiracy theories are you talking about? Btw...We don't hate Obama. We hate his policies. That's what you people just don't get because you actually do hate Republicans and all they stand for. Yes, even you Amend, the most opened minded of us all. We all know what an intellect you are. We have all been blessed to read your NUMEROUS posts! I can't believe there are still so many who haven't been enlightened by your words of wisdom! Let's get real...there is NO Republican candidate that any liberal would find worthy! I can't wait to see all these seeds of recovery that you speak of! Lol I guess I just need a new pair or rose colored glasses!

@Kelly- your retort to my comment is a perfect example of what I was referring to; very little substance and an abundance of disdain, tho I did enjoy you calling me open-minded and intellectual...even if it appears that your intention was to be sarcastic. There are plenty of moderate republicans who would have been better candidates if the GOP, as a whole, would have gotten behind them. John Huntsman is one that comes to mind. But what was presented to the electorate was mostly a collection of the extreme; Michelle Buchanan, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and then finally Mitt Romney. Heck, Ronald Reagan would have been considered more moderate compared to them, and at least Ron Paul was courageous enough to stand on his own opinion. It's the GOP's job to find good candidates. Don't blame those you consider liberals for being unimpressed by the crop that they put forth. The GOP is an undefined mess right now. Thats not the other party's fault.

@Kelly- and anyone who can't, or won't recognize the progress being made isn't being honest. When Obama first entered the office, the economy was in a collapse. Today it's in a much better position. That is simply undeniable. Sure, one could argue that things could be better, but it's disingenuous to imply that Obama's policies are a complete failure, just as it's equally disingenuous to insist that Romney will do it better when his plan for growth begs more questions than answers. I still have yet to understand how a 20% across the board tax cut will result in unprecedented economy growth or how it won't add to the deficit.

Obama is best course to return to Clinton's success, Clinton knows it and is returning to PA to share why, from someone who has been there.... any former President's campaigning for Romney?

Amend, what you fail to realize is that we don't pick a candidate based on who the liberals would like. You are amazingly naive! The key people are the independents. Just because my life hasn't been improved by Obama's policies doesn't mean I'm not being honest! I just don't see it. I am sorry! That is my truth. What are you talking about...undeniable? I am glad that you who have 2 jobs and rely on your wife's full time job and benefits, are doing so well! Good for you! I still don't understand how 4 more years of the same policies will get us to a better place. So sad that you are willing to settle for the status quo! And can one liberal please explain the failure to get our people in Libya the security they requested? For that reason alone, I will vote Romney!

@Kelly- personal attacks are an attempt by those with a weak position to marginalize the opinion of others. Discuss the subject, not the individual. Continued job growth, a strengthening housing market, increases in retail and manufacturing, consumer confidence is growing, the Dow is giving around 13,000, Osama bin Laden is dead, Al Qeada is splintered. These things are undeniable. What has Romney got to offer other than stories of what he might do backed up by flimsy math?

Amend, as I stated...it is NOT undeniable to ME! Get it through your thick skull! There are a lot of people who aren't as lucky as you and feel the same way I do! I don't have a weak position for me. It doesn't matter how weak YOU think my position is...it's MY position. You are a hypocrite as usual. You say not to make personal attacks yet I have read your numerous posts and you have made plenty! You can ramble on all you want with all your so called facts. it doesn't change people's reality! Your ramblings come across as blah blah blah! P.S. Still no answer for Libya...SHOCKER! I am moving on to reading about Romney's kick butt rally in Pa.! Later!

Ken, Obama is NO Clinton and the only reason Clinton is campaigning for Obama is to set things up for Hilary in 2016! As for Nick, Just wait for the facts to come out...AFTER the election. Let's face it....you are the fool! The CIA comes out with this lad of b s and people like you eat it up! Fingers are being pointed in so many directions that heads are spinning....just like the stories coming from the White House. You guys are the naive ones! As I said to Amend...I am moving on!

I can't wait for this election to be over just because I am sick of adults acting so childish. I can never read or hear anybody debate politics without getting nasty and childish. I very rarely am able to see an intellectual conversation happen on articles about the election. Why can't everybody just say their point of views, use actual facts and sources for everything they state and stop picking on each other!

@Kelly- denying facts is the essense of a weak position, and is usually motivated by an emotional response which is typically the worst platform from which to form an opinion. Everyone is allowed their position, but that doesn't mean all positions are equal or that some aren't more valuable collectively. Logic dictates. And disagreeing with someone's opinion, based on the logic, isn't a personal attack. That's just the nature of debate.

Got a story to tell about Hurricane Sandy? Call in to todays radio show, at 12 noon

@Watts, it was not me, I make comments on subjects that I have knowledge in.

Interesting board - sort of like the talking points from both campaigns.
Forget the rhetoric and ask youself :
1. Did the President and his administration lie/mislead/etc the public?
2. Would you share a two-man life raft with Obama?
Age has the advantage of having seen or smelled it before. So do your due diligence, analyze the facts, and vote your conscience today - voting is a privledge and a responsibility.

An interesting video on what is misleading or just saying hat you think people want to hear.

Long lines are great for America....I just hope all VOTES are counted and people know they do NOT need ID to vote this year...only first time voters, no-one else.... Very concerned because I know of some Democrat absentee ballots that are list as unreceived and uncounted, and when asked, they said it was sent in over a week ago... PLEASE be OPEN & FAIR... PLEASE for US
