Not even president yet and he’s lying and twisting words. I’m so sick of that. I want to vote republican so badly but It’s so hard to bring myself to vote for a Bush Jr. clone that might actually be less intelligent than the original. But the sad truth is that if Obama wins another term, our economy may go into an actual depression. Obama does not make businesses & corporations feel safe enough to invest. And that’s what creates jobs.

Funny noone actually laughed at this “joke”, least of all Romney. He made his point once he talked about the hospitals, he didn’t need to go the extra and mention “birth certificate”. This was certainly in poor taste.

As an Evangelical conservative, I’m really concerned by certain Mormon beliefs concerning Missouri as the promised land, and the Mormon error as to the birthplace of our lord Jesus Christ. I don’t believe Romney’s church to be inclusive to me and my congregation – as opposed to George Bush with who I felt comfortable as a Christian. I think we really need to start asking ourselves about these strange beliefs – and if Romney as president would favor states like Missouri and Utah, over states like Virginia and Ohio. These beliefs deeply trouble me and other close friends at my church.

“Romney will deliver on jobs and restore American pride again!”

Right. You mean like Romney’s advice that the “free market” should have picked over the bones of a bankrupt GM? That would have rippled out to millions MORE jobs lost at the depth of the Recession. Romney was wrong and President Obama was made the correct decision.

So help us out with even a teensy bit of evidence. How would Romney – with a history of job outsourcing – actually deliver new jobs? Or should we just wander back into Republican supply side economics based on blind faith?

When Obama finally did release a birth certificate, it strangely had no county or state seal embossed on the paper as most all do?

But no matter, Obama will be out in November and Romney will inherit the huge $16 Trillion debt and a jobless economy with 47 million Americans on Food Stamps left behind by Obama!

Romney will deliver on jobs and restore American pride again! Obama had his chance and blew-it!

While millions of Americans suffered, Obama took 17 lavish vacations and handed out hundreds of $ Billions to his crony friends, then lied about it!

Obama was the first president to rob seniors blind by stealing over $700 Billion from the Medicare Trust Fund! Our seniors will start to feel the pain of Obama’s lies next year!

And yes Romney was joking but some facts remain, Obama did seal all his college records and his birth certificate is missing some important information normally found on such papers!

What Obama has done to this country is no joke! We still have 23 million jobless Americans to prove it!

WHY no one ever question Clinton, MacCain and some black folks such as Collin, Condi for their birth certificates. The birth certificate joke must hit right on the central nervous system of Barrack “s camp that’s why they are so offensive. Otherwise, they could not careless. Now WE know where it hurts the most beside the failed agenda four the last four year : the sealed college records that could reveal something that Barrack does not want to.

Mitt Romney knew exactly what he was doing when he said that. And if you don’t ‘get that’ or understand that…that is exactly what he is hoping for.Because what he is doing is ‘pandering’ to a mentality and ideological base that ‘anyone with a functioning and rational brain’…should be voting AGAINST.

Romney now can mark the checkbox confirming he made a birther reference. That is needed to assure the vote of the delusional paranoids who still and will always believe that the President was born in Kenya.

Another distraction from the real issues of this campaign. Romney shows a lighthearted side and it becomes a distraction from the issues. It would be so nice if those in the media that are actually ‘reporters’ would step forward and provide the public with relevent information, rather than looking for ways to reelect President Obama.

…and what if Romney did make a joke? If Obama jokes, liberal media laughs and comments the same day on the presidents ‘likeability’. If Romney jokes, the media dissects the comment and tries to make it sound like Romney had an ulterior motive in making the joke.

Wouldn’t it be great if more people focused on 1.) Obama’s actual job performance metrics (you know – the numbers, not his words…) and 2.) long after your tearful goodbye to your good buddy Barrack, you and your kids have to live with the debt NUMBER, the unemployment NUMBER,
