Currently Romney is just asking us to trust him on this.

Would Republicans be willing to trust Obama like that?

It has very little to do with that. What IS feasible is getting B.O. out of office before he spends us into total disaster. His failed policies are bankrupting the country and the Bain capital dissection is nothing more than a diversion to keep the publics eyes away from B.O.'s massive failure.

Nope. It has everything to do with that.

Romney says he has all the answers. Well, some people will buy that without thinking, but others want to know what those answers are. Romney just says to look at the time he spent at Bain for the answers.

So people are doing just what Romney asked them to do, and now Romney is sad because some people are not liking what they are finding.

He was the one that bet everything on the voters being in love with the way he ran Bain, so if they don't like what they see then he should just grow up and realize that his way of doing things does not set well with some people.

Would whatever happened or didn't happen at Bain make you change into a Romney voter? I doubt it. Same with most voters.

The vast majority of voters are either totally opposed to Obama and willing to vote for Anybody But Barack, (which is casuing a lot of nosie pinching among the ABB crowd) or are Obama supporters no matter what is revealed about Barack.

The muddled middle will decide in October. With whatever the latest revelation has caused them to think.

It's going to be a mud rasslin' in a shytestorm.

Another one buying into the boo shwa reporting by the MSM? They are doing a GREAT job, with their baseless accusations diverting attention away from B.O.'s failed economic policies.

Just as bad is that Romney is falling for the trap. Instead of continuing to point out B.O.'s failures, he is responding to this crap. B.O. has one of the best political machines in place since the Clinton years. ANY political strategy done well enough to draw attention away from such a failure can be called nothing short of brilliant.

I keep hearing "Obama's failed policies" "Obama's failed policies" "Obama's failed policies" "Obama's failed policies", but don't hear what those policies are. It's beginning to sound like "WMD" "WMD" "WMD" "WMD"
Same old trick?

The policies that promised that no one earning less than $250,000 a year would pay an extra dime in taxes. How's that one working?

Or the policies that have increased to deficit --owed by every man, woman , child, and the yet-to-be-born to levels that may never be paid off.

Or how about the policies that have unemployment high and stagnant, and the business community scared to invest because the policy seems to be make successful businesses the enemy.

His entire approach to the economy is upside-down. It is a total failure.

Barry may or may not be a good man. Regardless, his presidency has been a failure. Time for someone else to take charge. I don't think he can get anything fixed if re-elected and may actually fark stuff up more. We are facing a re-emerging Russia, a nuke empowered Iran and a still destabilized North Korea, as well as a crumbling EU.

We desperately need a strong leader. That being said, I am not certain if Romney is up to the task either.

I have little doubt that on a personal level, President Obama is a likeable guy, good father and husband.

I've never doubted that either. I also think that he is sincere in his ideology. He believes in his heart that EXTREME socialism is the answer. The problem is that he apparantly also truly believes that the end justifies the means.

My meaning was that holding a pistol to a prisoners head takes no special intestinal fortitude. Is this yours?
