Great point as it is not about the man it is about the policies! Obama's policies have failed. Look at the record
Romney makes me feel secure... Obama can't speak right!
Glad to know rushing home to my kids at the end of the day is going to level the playing field when it comes to equal pay.
Obama doesn't even really know what planned parenthood does or doesn't do. They do not do mammon's. Just another slipup like shovel ready jobs. Get in the real world.
Dee, Romney has never been a senator. The only election he has ever won was Massachusetts governorship.
The Prez and Mitt are both right, manufacturing jobs are on the way back. The Foxconn workers in China have rioted and gone on strike in the last three weeks. Those groovy Apple gizmos are soon goona be saying:
"Designed in California, Built in the USA".
Yeah, yeah, yeah Romney. Lets not forget the 47%. The cameras are on now, but if we put him in office Im quite sure that we will see more of what he really thought, the things he said in private then back to the 47%.
So Mitt if you're not going to let anyone illegally are you going to pick crops in the field?
Romney is so ill focused he couldn't even remember the lady name within 1 minute!
Obama is a lot closer to feeling the financial squeeze on the American people than Romney who has a trust fund and income coming from other countries to keep the bills paid.
Send the parents home but the kids get a pass? Is this not incongruent? Somebody check this but is this not a flip?
Now he is all for immigration? He now agrees with pathways for kids of unauthorized immigrants, the first time I heard this from him. Romney sure says what he wants to say when it will get him what he wants. Can't trust that!!!
If Romney was so great when he was govenor of Mass., why is the state supporting Obama?
reagan opened the door to ship jobs to mexico–i can see why reagan is mitts hero–job shipper
Im a republican and not crazy about Obama yet Romney can be trusted.
Doesn't Romney's father get dual citizenship if both his parents are Americans and his father was born abroad? huh?
Thought it was a flip......Romney would veto the Dream Act. Sick of the pandering.
Romney wants to deport Everybody because they're not what he calls middle-class
Romney doesn't seem to remember what he said why doesent he defend his views
Didn't Romney say that he will veto the dream act? Don't we deserve the truth? Romney can respect America and give America the truth
Thanks Betsy for fact checking, its sad when people want rely on lies than truth his camp has a track record of doing some very deceitful things.
Hey you people that are accusing Candy of not letting Romney speak might want to look at the clock that is showing speaking time.
Mitt has lost this one at least as bad as Obama lost the first. Over.
Romney has no integrity, its obvious 47%.47%.47%.47%. If he said it in private he should have said it in public, oops that would not put him in office.
Yes you did Willard. You said you agreed with that crazy Arizona sheriff.
