He was here in Portland Oregon today to campaigning and to see his brother in law Craig Robinson who looks exactly like his sister. Christ the traffic was screwed all over all day. Hope the trip was worth it and the waste of tax payers money! It's a predominant liberal State that is going to vote for him, so why spend-spend the Air Force One at 180K per hour.
Take a look at which states are doing better now. It is the repub gov states that are doing much better than the libtard nanny states like brokedik california where entire cities are confimed BUSTO. Stockton is a prime example of what this entire country will look like once Obama is done with his fair shot, fair share reparations schtick
Don't worry Balco, in 4 years, if Romney is President, he'll be flying to Oklahoma and Texas to campaign. And guess how he'll be getting around? AF1.
I honestly think any time the president flies it has to be on AF1. Just a price we pay to protect the president of our country.
Just business as usual in Washington.

If you can be more specific about how I've stereotyped you in a wrong way, I'll gladly apologize.
I'll double my apology once you admit that SBR has higher than normal tolerance (and even encouragement) for racists and bigots.

Obama taught at the University of Chicago, he was a Senior Lecturer there for 8 years, used their resources there to get where he is today.
J D Rockefeller founded that University, built it from scratch, funded that.
"If you have a business, you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen"
Really Barry? Who made University of Chicago happen. Rockefeller, and Rockefeller only.
Yet Barry targets people exactly like a Rockefeller.
Nothing was taken out of context, Barry spoke his mind, got called out on it, now is back pedaling by crying "out of context"
How is this quote taken out of context?
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business. you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
Did someone else besides Rockefeller make the University of Chicago happen?
Obama still trying to explain ‘you didn’t build that’ comment

Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Amid signs that Republican Mitt Romney’s attacks on President Obama’s economic views are having an impact, Mr. Obama is trying for the second straight week to clarify his comments that self-made entrepreneurs aren’t entirely responsible for their own success.
At a campaign event in California Monday night, Mr. Obama accused the Romney campaign of “splicing and dicing” his controversial comments for partisan gain. And he tried to emphasize his belief in American entrepreneurship.“I believe with all my heart that it is the drive and the ingenuity of Americans who start businesses that lead to their success,” Mr. Obama told supporters at a rally in Oakland. “I always have and I always will.
The ability for somebody who’s willing to work hard, put in their sweat and their sacrifice to turn their idea into a profitable business, that’s the nature of America. That’s what helped make our economy the envy of the world.”The president is still trying to explain away comments he made on the stump on July 13 in Roanoke, Va., when he implied that entrepreneurs don’t deserve all the credit for their own success.“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help … Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive,” Mr. Obama said at the time.
“Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”Mr. Romney and his Republican allies have seized on those remarks, turning into an anti-Obama TV commercial and a campaign theme that the president doesn’t understand American capitalism.And there’s evidence the attacks are gaining traction with voters. A USA/Today Gallup poll released Monday found that a record number of Americans express skepticism about Mr. Obama’s view of the activist role of government:
61 percent say the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses. Gallup said it was the highest number since the polling outfit began asking the question in 1992.And despite the Obama campaign’s relentless attacks on Mr. Romney’s record at Bain Capital, the survey found that 63 percent of the public believes the Republican would do well handling the economy as president, with only 29 percent viewing him unfavorably on the economy.Even Sen. Bob Casey, Pennsylvania Democrat and a friend of the president, suggested Monday that he didn’t agree with Mr. Obama’s remarks.“Everyone knows that when someone builds a business and is successful, they’re successful for a variety of reasons,” Mr. Casey told an audience in Harrisburg, Pa.
“One of the reasons they’re successful is they work hard. Usually, sometimes they just get lucky, but a lot of the times — probably most of the time, at least in terms of people I’ve talked to over the years, it’s hard work.”Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said the president’s views are revealing and wrong-headed.“Americans everywhere — including Senator Bob Casey, a prominent Obama supporter — all agree: government isn’t responsible for building our nation’s businesses,” she said in a statement.
“It’s just the latest out-of-touch remark from a president who has consistently made life more difficult for job creators and middle-class workers. Mitt Romney will deliver a new direction by pursuing pro-growth policies that help entrepreneurs create new businesses and hire new workers.”The president said Monday night that this latest attack on him is just election-year politics.“Now, look, in politics we all tolerate a certain amount of spin,” he said. “I understand these are the games that get played in political campaigns, although when folks just omit entire sentences of what you said … they start kind of splicing and dicing, you may have gone a little over the edge there.”He said there’s a “real choice at stake” in the election and accused Mr. Romney of favoring “top-down” economics that go against the American tradition.
We built this country together — individual entrepreneurs taking advantage of opportunities and putting their sweat and tears into it, and all of us making investments in things like public schools and public colleges and universities, the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge,” Mr. Obama said. “That’s how we sent a man to the moon. If Mr. Romneydoes not understand that, then he doesn’t understand what it takes to build an economy where everybody has a shot to succeed — from the worker who punches a clock to the entrepreneur who wants to take a chance on a new idea.”

That's all you could find? Hmmm,,,kind of like Obama's record, let's pretend it doesn't exists. Here's a few I guess you somehow missed(apology accepted);

I was in Amsterdam when he held a short news conference. People scurried and crowded around the TV to get a glimpse of the new American President. For the first time in a while I was proud of my President.
I dont agree with many of his policies. But I am one conservative that can honestly say I'm glad he is the President of the USA.

I just think the President should have full command of the issues and have a near 6th sense of good judgement. He is extremely highly respected in the world and that makes the world a little bit safer. It is possible that anti-American sentiment could decrease under this man. And stronger relations may well lead to better trade and security deals with the world at large.
Bottomline is I still dont like higher taxes but I'm willing to take a dose of the bad. He is no Ronald Reagan who was the greatest but I get the same feeling that America is making a comeback just like when Reagan took over.

Lost, Dwight, Obama and the rest of my fellow conservatives; Let's give him a chance. This is not Johnson or even Jimmy Carter. The problems at home call for some intelligent and creative thinking and not simply down party lines. The problems abroad scream for a clean, fresh approach and this guy has one.

Right now he is dealing with problems in the banking and auto industry in a smart way imo. He is working hard and looks to be working smart. He is smarter than I thought and looks to be doing a great job so lets give the devil his due.
I just like the way he is not following party lines and just jumping in and tackling problems. America is standing tall again in the world. Now we need him to realize you can not tax business at 40% when the rest of the free world has a tax rate closer to 30%.

Obama seems like a decent enough guy. He screwed me on my GM bonds but hey, wtf. The bailouts seemed to have worked, Hard to imagine if Bank America, Citi and most of the major banks and insurance companies failed and two of three autos also failed. I doubt in fact, check that, have no doubt that McCain would NOT have done a better job with the financial crisis. I still will not vote for people trying to over tax me but like I said, Obama seems like a decent enough guy.

Obama is doing a decent job but is just not moderate enough to be a uniter like a Reagan or even a Clinton.
Search my posts from the 2008 campaign. I was a big Obama supporter. You should apologize for sterotyping me but I won't hold my breath. The man promised change, promise to compromise and promised to unite us. He did none of these things. His Marxists comments are un American and nauseating. They hardly unite anything except the far left. He is an utter failure and should be replaced. We should always vote out failures.
I really thought you'd said you supported Obama before but couldn't remember. You don't think he compromised on the debt ceiling and other issues? I think you're wrong. I hear one of the main complaints on the left is his answer to compromise is "you want chicken for dinner and I want fish... sooo... we'll go with the fish."
And how's he suppose to comprise or accomplish bi-partisan anything when the other party has made it very clear the only thing they are willing to do is make Obama look bad so he won't be re-elected? I don't know what you consider to be Marxists or UN-American on Obama part but the GOP's refusal to do anything that might help US citizens until they get back the WH is pretty sickening to me.
And what makes you think Mitt will get any better response from the Dems on getting things done? Plus what does he want to do? So far most of his proposals have been "I'll do it differently then Obama... How? The health care proposals on the GOP home page are get rid of the ACA and three vague concepts with no explanation of how they'll do them and a statement they want to get rid of abortion.
I agree with voting away our failures but but replacing them with a another failure is no answer either. I'd support Mitt wholeheartedly if 1.) He was putting forth details plans. 2.) Didn't change his position on major issues on a regular basis. 3.) Was more open and honest about his finances. I don't need to see years of his returns, likely wouldn't make any sense to me anyway. But I'd like to know he's not hiding his money overseas to avoid paying taxes during a time of war. 4.) If his plan wasn't to increase military spending while the budget and spending is so out of control.
Exactly!Mitt the Mormon moron.
Exactly!
Fixed.
OK, Mitt (the next POTUS) Mormon moron.Sorry for our choices for pres.
Andy, andy, andy when ya gonna stop lying and bring some facts to the table? Everyone knows that Insuurance salesman don't work hard and i will offer u this bet. I will put up ten thousand to your 100 dollars that i haven't been on unemployment insurance since Bush or Obama took office. Instead of constantly lying u no good piece of shit put your money where your mouth is. Surely risking 100 dollars to get back 10 thousand is a sweet deal. Andy stick to your ponzi scheme job which is in the top three of most disrespected jobs in all of America. Just behind a tout and a used car salesman. Andy you do not work hard. You prey on the misery of others. Stop trying to tell people you work hard. You are an insurance salesman for goodness sakes?Opie, during the Obama administration both you and I continued to work hard and were rewarded for it and liberal idiots like Thor sat on the couch and collected their extended unemployment checks.
Instead of trying to pull themselves up, the only thing Thor and his gang of liberals want to do is bring us down which is why Obama continues to cater to them with his class warfare bit.
Our country could be saddled with the worst nightmare possible (a 2nd Barack Obama presidential term) and come 2016, you and I will still be doing just fine with people like Thor complaining even louder about how unfair the world is.
What we're both scared of is Obama taking away the opportunity that every American currently enjoys.
Thor's ideal political climate would be a country that has no private sector with the public sector controlling everything. A country where hard work doesn't get you any separation from those who refuse to produce.
A COUNTRY LIKE NORTH KOREA which is exactly where Thor should go.
Muldoon, I'll reply to your liberal rag piece (post #175) in due course.
jIf you can't see how they are spinning his words then maybe you should stay out of the discussion. You are the type of guy these spinning of words target.
