Rubio says Obama has lost himself and has lost what makes him different....I say Rubio is pathetic

Things keep getting worse under his watch. He's accountable for that and so obviously he doesn't want to run on that record so he wants this campaign to be about anything but his record on the economy," Rubio said.

Criticizing Obama for turning the raid on Osama Bin Laden into a campaign issue, Rubio argued the president is consumed by winning re-election, causing him to lose the qualities that set him apart in 2008.

"In his obsessive effort to get his win, his re-election, he has lost himself and he has lost what makes him different," he said.

Rubio, who is widely considered a lead contender for the Republican VP spot and sits on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, criticized Vice President Joe Biden's foreign policy decisions and also poked at him for some of his verbal mishaps.

This is going to be so ugly - unbearable to watch.

Every time they get a little press time, the meanest shit comes out of their mouths.

..is after a touchdown.

We can only imagine how "great" we would be doing right now if McCain and Palin had won? My hunch is that we would be discussing how long this depression is going to last?

Somebody in the media please ask this question and make them present facts rather than rhetoric.
