I do not know as to who is going to vote for these idiots–I bet none of 47%, and victims... Yes, on OBAMA12.
The nation is in shambles, and this is what the GOP decides is important to do right now. I see how it is...
Wow, those people look very enthusiastic! It looks like one of those old pictures from the USSR!
Saddest bunch of people around, all look like they are paid to be there.
Presidential debate broadcasts should fact check the candidates statements in real time and have it appear as a crawl at the bottom of the screen.
Since President Obama and Romney have both made several appearances before the public, most of their statements made at the debate could be easily fact-checked beforehand and then displayed in real time. New statements made could be easily checked by a relatively small group of fact-checkers and then displayed. All sources would be cited and a compilation of results (true, mostly true, false, mostly false, etc.), sources and detailed explanations could be posted on the Commission on Presidential Debates website.
This would put the candidates on notice that they can't lie during the debates – and would greatly help inform American voters.
How's the hotdog car business ,the only job your qualify for !!!!!
Why are we paying these elected officials when they are not working for us but are going all around the country talking about themselves to find their next job or to keep their job or both? Should they not take a leave without pay for these times? And who is doing the work needed to be done in the meantime? No wonder our country is in trouble. The Congress is not working and they don't even care that theya re not working. All they care is to get elected and relected.
If we can get buy such long election cycles without them, then perhaps we don't need them in DC anyway. Thus, let us send all of them home and then we can reduce the deficit someone. Also, this will show all these people what it is like to be without a job and without health insurance. They should learn their lessons so that they will know that they need to be serious about their jobs.
#GOP is full of regards: so its ok for Obama to go on the view and to a fund raiser with jay-z but not get together with world leaders at the UN. Thumbs up.
As a dem I like that. He's toasted as far as the election goes but good to see him out there rubbing elbows with the regular folks
Romney and Ryan are the worst presidential and vice presidential candidates ever. I hope they lose big because they will bring America down.
Romneyhood ........ Give to the Rich take from the poor
Did Ryan brag about how he ran a 3.9 second 40 yard dash??
It seems they changed picture now... still, I don't see a crowd there.... and they don't look particularly excited either!
pretty nice crowd there really diverse looks just like the GOP convention.
There is a team that can get America back on track.
They have the experience and skills to create jobs, increase prosperity and salaries, decrease need for government dependence, decrease national debt, and increase the strength of the USA again–at home and abroad!
Obama had his chance for four years–it's time to step aside, and give Romney/Ryan opportunity to fix things now.
If Romney/Ryan win in 2012, America wins!
If Obama/Biden win, then the opposite...
Is he telling them about that marathon he did in under 3 hrs.? What a stud!
The Ducks did it again !
Not many in the bar with Ryan.
GOP has not done anything constructive for us in the last 4 years except going against the President just to make sure he will be a one-term president. GOP did all these at the expense of us, the common citizen.
What scares me is both Romney and Ryan keep on changing their stories and telling us anything we want to hear to get our votes. They look like snake oil salesmen to me.
i don't know what you guys are thinking our debt alone is reason enough to fire obama time to give romney a chance or our children will never have the life that you @ i have enjoyed we owe it to our kids
