being a businessman (like Romney or that ugly assed Trump) does not make for a good quality for a President. Bain was for profits at any expense, that is not what government is there for. It is for quality of life for all not quantity of money for a few.

Does he think surging the war in Afghanistan is the answer? Does he think starting new wars in Lybia, Yeman, Syria, Bahrian, is the answer?

Does he think putting innocent Americans in Military Jails (NDAA) is the answer?

Does he think putting Alan Simpson.. the BIGGEST anti-Roosevelt Pol in the world... is the best thing to help Social Security?

Then again.. Mr. Obama says that Social Security is an "Entitlement".

Question: If you paid into Social Security your entire life (50 Years).. are you "entitled" to get some money back? I would think so.

They completely fuck it up. President Obama's much derided neighborhood organizing is much more apropos to the job.

And we all know the media will bend over backwards trying to put a positive spin on mitt's running away from debating if he does so.
