A Nostalgic Obama Uses Webcast to Rally His Iowa Roots
President Obama tried to steal a piece of the Iowa spotlight tonight with a nostalgia-filled live address to his Democratic supporters over the internet, at times hampered by static and sporadic audio interruptions that made him difficult to understand.
But the technical glitches from Obama’s exclusive web tool couldn’t mask his rallying cry to the people who first helped propel him to the presidency four years ago.
“Because of you and the work you did four years ago,” Obama said, addressing Iowans, the accomplishments of his first term — from ending the Iraq War to imposing higher fuel efficiency standards and repealing “don’t ask don’t tell” — were possible.
Still, he warned, “there are a lot of forces that want to push back against it and want to undo some of those changes. And we’re battling millions of dollars of negative advertising and lobbyists from special interests who don’t want to see the change that you worked so hard for fully take root.”
“That’s why this time around is in some ways more important than the first time around,” he said.
The Obama campaign has launched an aggressive effort to keep Iowa blue in November, opening eight offices across the state, holding more than 1,000 organizing events and engaging hundreds of thousands of potential voters in person and over the phone. Democrats were also holding caucuses across the state tonight in a dry run for next fall.
Obama, who participated in the video teleconference from inside a Washington, D.C., Hilton hotel, took two questions from supporters who each appealed for new inspiration from the man who energized them four years ago.
“I’m wondering now in 2012 if you still believe in hope and change for America?” asked a woman from Coralville.
“First of all, I want to make sure you can hear my answer. How’s the sound coming through now?” Obama said, waiting for the audio connection to resolve.
“Well, in some ways I’m actually more optimistic now than I was when I first ran because we’ve already seen change take place,” he said after a pause. “And part of what 2012 is about is both reminding the American people of how far we’ve traveled and the concrete effects some of our work has had.”
Later, in response to a question from a woman in Cedar Rapids, Obama signaled he believes his army of volunteers will be the key to winning that messaging fight during the campaign.
“Frankly, not that many people watch cable TV. What they do is, they listen to their friends, neighbors and co-workers,” Obama said. “Nobody is a better message for the kind of change we’re talking about than you.”
“I will put my money on you. I find you a lot more persuasive than anybody on TV and that’s why I know we’re going to win.”

Two points not covered in the article, that SHOULD have been:
-How many dozen Obama-fans participated in the webcast?
-How bad were the technical ‘glitches’, and did they matter……..b/c again almost no one
participated, right?
Ergo……terrible article.
Ergo…….worst president ever.

LOL!… I guess that’s why Republi-C-R-E-T-_-NS, who are missing their brains, will be voting for a Republican?
REASON # 1 — Why I WILL NOT vote for a Republican. . .
. . .The results of the past 63 years show this:
–> If you want unemployment to remain above 6% four years from now, history shows us that you have a 100% chance of that happening if a Republican is in the White House.
–> If you want unemployment to drop below 5% four years from now, history shows us that you have a 75% chance of that happening if a Democrat is in the White House.
Going all the way back to 1953. . .every time we have had 8 or more consecutive years of Republican administrations in the White House, unemployment starts low with them (handed to them by outgoing Democratic administrations), but then ends up ABOVE 6% after those 8 years are done.

I fell for the Obama Deception. Now I realize that the only person who would vote for him again is someone who can’t admit they made a grave mistake. And besides, it’s easy.

Just a guy, Bin Laden is dead because president Obama kept the mission alive to get him and President Obama did what he said what he would do in the 2008 debate against McCain…
I meant Gay Americans can serve withoutlegal/illegal discrimination against them in the military..
No president has been Commander in Cheif while the military has killed such an American enemy as bin laden until President Barack Obama..
Only nuts that like to listen to Fox News propaganda and lies will say Bush got bin Laden…. Bush left a mess and if you look at some historical footage you will see that Bush said he didn’t know or CARE where Bin Laden was..
There is no such thing as “ObamaCare” that is right wing propaganda, an imagined bill,,, a catchphrase that president Obama haters and opposition have created and like lost sheep people keep this imaginary thing alive by repeating this nonsense…. There is an Affordable Health Care Act that Congress signed and President Obama signed… and if it is struck down by The Supreme Court it would be because of a “conservative majority in the court.
Most republicans are stiffnecked and most of the time a waste of time talking to. Hannity, Limbaugh, Palin etc are happy the president Obama is president. It keeps them rich by spewing nonsense and garbage about President Obama that low intelligence followers believe as fact.

“…Conservatives want Smaller Government a Balanced Budget”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LMAO! …. and so when are you “conservatives” actually going to put forward a “Conservative, Smaller Government” president?
Ronald Reagan wasn’t one, and neither was G.W. Bush. IN FACT, the largest JUMPS in our national debt occurred under two Republican Presidents due to their “tax cuts” (for the rich) WITHOUT any simultaneous cuts in spending. IN FACT, both Ronald Reagan and G.W. Bush GREW government while they were cutting taxes… thus leading to this…
National Debt balance increase under Nixon and Ford = $292 billion
National Debt balance increase under Carter = $280 billion
National Debt balance increase under “fiscal conservative” (LMAO!) Ronald Reagan = $1.8 TRILLION
** First president in U.S. history to have the debt increase in the multi-trillions under his 1 administration. A result of the “Reagan Tax Cuts” WITHOUT simultaneous cuts in spending.
** Ronald Reagan taught all the presidents that followed him, how you can fool your minions that you’re a “smaller government” guy (even though you never reduced the size of government) just by cutting their taxes… and the Republi-minions believe it… LOL!
National Debt balance increase under Bush # 1 = $1.4 Trillion.
National Debt balance increase under Clinton = $1.6 Trillion.
National Debt balance increase under the so-called “fiscal conservative” (LMAO!) George W. Bush = $4.9 TRILLION
** Republican Bush # 2 becomes the first president in U.S. history to have the debt increase in the “5 Trillions” under his single administration. A result of the “Bush Tax Cuts” WITHOUT simultaneous cuts in spending (in fact, Bush # 2 grew government “BIG TIME!”)
So, stop with all the hogwash about Republicans being for “conservatism” and “smaller government”. All your presidents have done was “Cut Taxes”, keep government the same size, and then borrow lots of money to pay for the government that they never made smaller.

So TV…the “Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act is not “Obamacare.” I see. That’s like arguing that Kleenex and Scott Tissue cannot both be referred to as Kleenex. Everyone knows what the term refers to when it is mentioned. If you are arguing that it should be referred to with the name on the Congressional paperwork, that’s certainly your perogative…but, when the term “Obamacare” is invoked, EVERYONE knows what is being discussed. If you want to argue for it or against it, the term used to refer to it is meaningless. At least one commentator on EVERY major news network has called it “Obamacare” in the last 2 years. Argue the substance, man…not a name.

As far a fuel efficiency and the recent mandates that Obama signed that all cars must have backup sensors and cameras plus stronger roofs so you do not get crushed when you do stupid maneuvers plus the fact that cars will be so small they will resemble clown cars. About the repeal of DADTell…well the last shoe on that has yet to fall on that.

@Borntobepolitical… Obama did not end the Iraq war. The US-Iraq status of forces agreement which set November 2011 as the withdrawal date for US troops from Iraq was signed by Bush before leaving office in 2008. The war was ended officially before Obama ever took office.

The same sad, sad nonsense from the Republicans and their supporters – negative attacks, insults and name calling – nothing positive to contribute on any level, including policy.
And just as sad, the Republican presidential candidates can do little better than to call each other names. Santorum calls Paul ‘disgusting’. Gingrich calls Romney ‘a liar’. Romney is busy calling the President every insult in the books.

Tell me why we *should* consider 4 more years, without slams. And yes, saying “Well, Bush did it too/first” is NOT convincing me! If Bush DID do it first, tell me why it was bad then, but it’s all good now. I can’t figure out if there is more to the story, or if it’s just blind partisanship.

He appeased Russia by not installing the missile defense system, saying it is old technology, yet we are installing it in the UAE! He won’t sell F-16′s to Taiwan, but he will send 250 more Marines to Australia because of China. Appeasing China and Russia is not good foreign policy. Obama is inexperienced and needs to go.

How about fuel this year?Record highs. How about more people in poverty now than ever before? Record foreclosures. Unemployment 16 to 20 % even though they claim it is 8.6%But they do not take into account the ones working part time, given up, retired or holidays. Yes the change has happened.

Wow, what an analysis! With that kind of Democratic thinking, you would have thought they would have done something about it considering the Democrats owned our government for almost 2 full years? Obama could have simply removed the “Bush” cuts. Nah, had to get his Obamacare passed. No focus on unemployment (except to keep the checks flowing), no focus on the economy (except to give away more money we don’t have). Then, in a blatant display of hypocracy, we attack……Libya!

LAMO! …… you’re only proving that you have no idea how your government works, and that you missed a lot of news over the past 3 years. The Republicans have fought “tooth and nail” to fight to keep the Bush Tax Cuts i(for the rich) in place, even giving up on particular positions that they said they wouldn’t give up on.
For example, in December 2010, when the Republicans “whined”, and “cried” that they wouldn’t extend unemployment benefits because it wasn’t good for the deficit… AS SOON AS Obama offered to extend the Bush Tax Cuts for one more year, the Republicans rolled over “ON A DIME” (like Pavlov trained dogs)… and immediately changed their minds about unemployment benefits, agreeing to extend them in exchange for the Bush Tax Cuts…. LOL!
Yep, that’s right, the Republicans “rolled over” instantaneously on those unemployment benefits, like well trained dogs, and let Obama scratch their bellies with the Bush Tax Cuts.
Will Republicans ever stand on any principles? Their ONLY principle is this… “Keep Those Bush Tax Cuts (for the rich) in place” and we’ll “sit”, “jump”, “rollover” and show you our paw, President Obama… no matter what you do.
The funny thing is this…. Republi-minions are just as “WELL-TRAINED”, as the Republican party that they follow, to believe everything that the Republican dogs tell them.

You just hate seeing those facts about your hero, Ronald Reagan, don’t you? Such as the fact that he was the first President to increase the debt “in the TRILLIONS”… the guy wrote the play book for all presidents after him to follow, on how to fool minions (“Minions” just like you CommonSenseParty) on how you can claim that you’re a “smaller government” / “fiscal conservative”) and then NEVER reduce the size of government, lower taxes, and then borrow to pay for everything…
Nixon and Ford National Debt Increase = $292 billion
Carter National Debt Increase = $280 Billion
Reagan National Debt Increase? (that so-called, “conservative”…LOL!) = a whopping “$1.8 Trillion”
… or that his unemployment rate was no better than Obama’s at this time in Reagan’s presidency… November 1984 = 8.5%.
Yet, the old wrench turner retired military folks, like CommonSenseParty, still run around believing that Reagan was “a great President”… LOL! … “brainwashed” during the Reagan era by Reagan himself, “Republican good / Democrat Bad”, just because Reagan dedicated more money to their paychecks. The fact is… Reagan started this country down the road of a “borrowing binge”. It ALL started with him, playing “Mr. Nice Guy” and introducing the Reagan Tax Cuts, but having ABSOLUTELY ZERO courage and leadership to deal with the spending side of the coin.

As early as 2006, top advisers to Mr. Bush dismissed warnings from people inside and outside the White House that housing prices were inflated and that a foreclosure crisis was looming. And when the economy deteriorated, Mr. Bush and his team misdiagnosed the reasons and scope of the downturn . . . Mr. Bush was still calling it a “rough patch.”
The result was a series of piecemeal policy prescriptions that lagged behind the escalating crisis.
“There is no question we did not recognize the severity of the problems,” said Al Hubbard, Mr. Bush’s former chief economics adviser, who left the White House in December 2007. “Had we, we would have attacked them.”

The Department of Energy-funded National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), based in Colorado, has recently been churning out technological breakthroughs at a breakneck pace.

It also handed out the first commercial license for innovative, high-efficiency ‘black silicon’ solar technology it developed in 2010.
And another big breakthrough it recently announced is a new method for creating solar cells which looks set to reduce the energy cost of manufacture by 50%.

No they don’t. And it was the Republican majority in the House that passed this bill long before it went to the President.
You explain that to us – why did the Republican majority in the House push this bill through if its such an infringement on our rights. Explain it . .. .

As early as 2006, top advisers to Mr. Bush dismissed warnings from people inside and outside the White House that housing prices were inflated and that a foreclosure crisis was looming. And when the economy deteriorated, Mr. Bush and his team misdiagnosed the reasons and scope of the downturn; as recently as February, for example, Mr. Bush was still calling it a “rough patch.”
The result was a series of piecemeal policy prescriptions that lagged behind the escalating crisis.
“There is no question we did not recognize the severity of the problems,” said Al Hubbard, Mr. Bush’s former chief economics adviser, who left the White House in December 2007. “Had we, we would have attacked them.”

The BP explosion made fuel prices go up along with any hurricanes. Liberals say that drilling oil will have no effect on fuel prices. Which way is it? I sure see the results during disasters or acts of nature,why not drill and see if it goes the other way. But Obam knows what is best for the peasants.

1) Bush homeownership plan aims at $5.5 million lift for minorities (2003)
President Bush announced an Administration effort to increase home ownership rates among African Americans and Hispanics by 5.5 million by 2010.
The plan would provide down payment assistance to 40,000 minority homebuyers each year . . .
Bush’s plan would be closely tied to some $440 million in minority loan programs offered by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. President Bush commended Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s efforts . . .
2) 2004: Under President Bush, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announces that it will require Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, also known as the Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) “to increase their purchase of mortgages for low- and moderate-income families and underserved communities.”
In order to meet these new requirements, the GSEs begin purchasing mortgage-backed securities made up of subprime loans.

Fox is losing viewers and progressive is the most popular political label in the United States.
The big story out of Iowa is a splintered GOP field and that the only GOP candidate with a loyal and enthused group of supporters is Ron Paul, the anti-war candidate (who also happens to push economic proposals that would hurl us into a deep recession.) Okay so now Rick Santorum is the latest GOP alternative to Mitt and RP. He will nosedive too. The guy compared our military to hobbits. He got whooped in PA in his last election.
Under Obama, the Iraq War has ended. Osama bin Laden was captured and killed. Economy back from the brink. DADT repealed. More consumer protections in place. Overhauled credit card industry. Ended pre-existing conditions and recission travesties in health insurance. Taxes not raised on the middle class. Doughnut hole closed. Health care access expanded. New START treaty. Strong counterterrorism and national security. Veteran’s needs focused on and better met. There’s more too. Stopped defending DOMA in court. Extended benefits to same-sex life partners of federal gov’t employees. Overhauled food safety system. Appointed two women to Supreme Court. Passed the Hate Crimes bill. Got help despite Republicans for those whose health was impaired during the cleanup of 9/11. Made a lot of important steps in the right direction on the energy and environment fronts like removing a ruling to now allow individual states to enact automotive fuel efficiency standards above federal standards,ending the Bush-era policy of not regulating and labeling carbon dioxide emissions , signing the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act.

First off, the BP disaster didn’t cause the price of gas to go up. No idea who told you that, but I would need to see your proof of such a statement to believe it. It was only one rig, and it did not affect any refining capacity. Hurricanes can, because of the potential for shutting down the rigs and the refineries in the Gulf. More drilling here won’t lower the price we pay at the pump. Why would it? The recovered oil would still be refined and sold on the open world market. Business as usual. To the great profit of Big Oil, but not for OUR benefit at the pump. And it’s not just Liberals who say this.

Can’t blame it on ATMs, Bush, Iowa, the ‘evil’ rich, gun owners, the white middle class, China, racism or that somebody had the unmitigated audacity to say ‘no’ to him for once in his life. The only one to blame here is Obama. He is an excuse…and a pathetic one, at that.

Obama had little to nothing to do with killing bin Laden. He happened to be sitting in the seat (of the oval office) when all the intelligence came together.
Bush’s policies mad it possible to have gotten bin Laden. Factually, that cannot be disputed , but those that do dispute are quite fuzzy on the facts anyway, Yes, I’m aware of the video of Bush talking about bin Laden. That was a result of the left attacking Bush for not having gotten bin Laden at their unrealistic timetable designed to make Bush look bad.
Why do you disparage the term “ObamaCare”? It was his top priority legislation of his presidency. One would think the left would be honored to have this supposed great law bear Obama’s name. It’s as if you people are ashamed to have this supposed great law bear Obama’s name.

For the Obama worshipers, a question. I was laid off the week he was elected (college educated with substantial work experience).
I finally got a job in October. In the last 3 years I’ve gone through all my savings, my kids’ college funds, was forced into bankruptcy, and had to sell my home of 15 years (and no I didn’t use my home equity as free money).
We now live in an apartment, as we slowly rebuild our lives.
Do you good little leftists think I should support Dear Leader this time around? Should I thank him for all the great policies he’s put in place that helped get me back to work?

We can tell you that in the last three years of the obamanation, many Americans are already experiencing austerity. That would be due to the Won’s misguided policies and mis-spending of our tax dollars. Just look at the record number of foreclosures and people on foodstamps, the 1 in every 45 children that are currently homeless, spiraling costs of gas and health care AND and the true number of unemployed in this country. This has all happened under the downgraded one’s watch in between his numerous, expensive vacations, all taken at the taxpayers’ expense. And no matter who is responsible for it, he has done nothing to rectify it. In fact, he has made everything worse. Come November, the orangey-glowey 1%er is so outta here!
Repeat after me – One and Done!

Without looking into it, you can figure that it would likely be polls from shills like CNN, NY Times, Washington Post, NBC, ABC, CBS, TIME — you know, the usual sellout useful-idiot outlets which the batcrap-crazy brainwashing victims turn to for their “news.”
Then there’s polls like Rasmussen which show dismal ratings for Dear Leader.
Accurate polls are the only polls which count. The rest amounts to just more of the same mainstream media smoke-and-mirrors intending to shape public opinion rather than gauge it and address reality

We can no longer afford Obama!! This is just one pathetic example!!
Keep your eye on Waukesha, Wisconsin……
Their biggest employer just moved out.
Thanks Jeff, you’re a “real” American….give Barrack our Best !!
General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha,
Wis., to Beijing, China. In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will
invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create six research
centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year but
paid no taxes-the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in
the United States. So let’s get this straight.
Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission
on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create jobs.
I guess Obama forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed
to be creating those jobs.
If this doesn’t show you the total lack of leadership of this President,

Even the Republican presidential candidates can do little better than to call each other names. Santorum calls Paul ‘disgusting’. Gingrich calls Romney ‘a liar’. Romney is busy calling the President every insult in the books.
