He claimed that General Colin Powell endorsed President Obama
because of race.
that there have been so many moments of truth spewing from the republiclans [ from both ends ]-

real rape
corporations are people
i am not a crook
i dont remember iran-contra

trickle down
i know how to create jobs
i will cut taxes & buy more guns
i will tell you the truth after you elect me etc etc etc etc
Yep. If you are too stupid to realize that is true then that is your problem. It's the reason nearly all blacks vote for Obama. And more than a few white liberals vote for him for the same reason. Get over it.
Because half of America agrees with what they represent.
Ummm sources? I hope you know you're making yourself look like an idiot by posting this worthless rant. I'm not even a republican, there is just no value to this post. Might as well improve it by putting up an ad for towing in Longmont, CO
"we don't negotiate with terrorists" RR
It's a black/ white thing; no biggie.
wrong , its an ideology thing.

Partisan campaign much?
Obama's socialism
Obama invested TAXPAYER money in!!
Solyndra---- Bankrupt
Ener 1 ----- Bankrupt
Beacon power----Bankrupt
Abound solar----Bankrupt
Spectra watt----Bankrupt
Eastern energy---Bankrupt
ALL of the companies were obama campaign contributors
Romney made almost three times as many bad investments as Obama, should we really judge him for his success?
http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-october-25-2012/picking-winners---losers
At least Mitt wasn't betting with taxpayers' money! Would also appear his wins outnumbered his losses if his current net worth is any indication.
Most of Mitt's money comes from not paying taxes on the money he took from investors, but if you like success you must love Al Gore he started out with about 2 million when he left the White House and now he's worth over 300 million compared to Gore, Mitt is an incompetent idiot.
If you think corporations don't feed at the taxpayers trough then you are naive indeed.
I didn't say that facts I merely said Mitt bet private money, as opposed to our Organizer-in-Chief throwing taxpayer money to his supporters and bundlers. Classic cronyism.
More of Obama's investments paid off than Romney's and the tax payers gets the benefit rather than the Romney Boys, as a matter of fact I think Obama should use some tax payer money and do a few start ups, owned by the government start running this country like a business since the business people don't want to hire anybody maybe the good old US government should just build solar cells and sell them to the public let the taxpayers keep the profit to hire more people ect.
Better to use the billions we give to the oil companies each year to do some start ups owned by the people.

Isn't socialism good?
It's OK to say racist, ben.
Lord knows there's a few of them running around in here, though as usual they won't admit it in public.
While race is a big factor, I see a bigger factor- most people don't like having a boss who is smarter than themselves.
remember when shrub won votes because people said "He's the the guy I'd like to have a beer with" ?
You pointed out something very important.
The conse(R)vatives are the ones always looking for a leader, or a better boss.
it is so much easier living your life - being told what to do -
than it is to think & reason
obama admitted he couldnt get beyond 7th grade math. what a dummy.
I was not addressing the candidates, I was addressing the stupidity of voters who are afraid to have a President smarter than they are
obama is the dumbest person in what ever room he enters.
not when you are there
How do you know this?
obama is dumber than dirt, always was, always will be.
Harvard Law Sxhool - anyone can do that
especially if your father contributes $25,000,000
He endorsed him because he's a warmonger and Obama refused to prosecute any of the Bush criminals.
"Just days after one of his puppet Presidential candidates wins the Presidency, the People will gather outside the front gate of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein's (aka Lord Blankcheck) not-so-humble abode." - occupywallst.org
Never a bad word for a Republican eh, hchc?
This is off the site you are on, not my own words.
Last I knew Powell was a Republican. And just another lying warloving politician.
We're already there!
Please to tell how that is recist ?
Let's see now.
Record foreclosures.
Record unemployment.
A national debt of $51,000 for every man, woman and child.
Taking his sweet old time while oil poured into the gulf.
Obamacare.
Not doing anything about reforming entitlements, which WILL sink us.
Bailing out banks and Detroit with tax payer $$$.
A stimulus which was fraudulently spent.
No credible budget for three years running.
Kissing the rings and asses of multiple dictators.
The arab spring...aka the arab tyranny.
Creating another war in Libya.
Cow-towing to the Chinese thru Geithner.
Stealing 716 Billion from medicare and giving it to Obamacare.
Pitting one group against another (black against white, gay against straight, business owner against non-owner, rich against poor, muslim against christian).
Turning us into a third-world schithole for his stupid experiments in "social justice".
Violating the constitution again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
Vote him the hell out of orifice PRONTO.
YES SIR! mr. koch - anything else I can do for you?

March/ April 2012 Obama’s Second half of Top 50 Accomplishments
By Paul Glastris, Ryan Cooper, and Siyu Hu
PART 2 of 2
26 Improved Food Safety System: In 2011, signed FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, which boosts the Food and Drug Administration’s budget by $1.4 billion and expands its regulatory responsibilities to include increasing number of food inspections, issuing direct food recalls, and reviewing the current food safety practices of countries importing products into America.
27 Achieved New START Treaty: Signed with Russia (2010) and won ratification in Congress (2011) of treaty that limits each country to 1,550 strategic warheads (down from 2,200) and 700 launchers (down from more than 1,400), and reestablished and strengthened a monitoring and transparency program that had lapsed in 2009, through which each country can monitor the other.
28 Expanded National Service: Signed Serve America Act in 2009, which authorized a tripling of the size of AmeriCorps. Program grew 13 percent to 85,000 members across the country by 2012, when new House GOP majority refused to appropriate more funds for further expansion.
29 Expanded Wilderness and Watershed Protection: Signed Omnibus Public Lands Management Act (2009), which designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, created thousands of miles of recreational and historic trails, and protected more than 1,000 miles of rivers.
30 Gave the FDA Power to Regulate Tobacco: Signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (2009). Nine years in the making and long resisted by the tobacco industry, the law mandates that tobacco manufacturers disclose all ingredients, obtain FDA approval for new tobacco products, and expand the size and prominence of cigarette warning labels, and bans the sale of misleadingly labeled “light” cigarette brands and tobacco sponsorship of entertainment events.
31 Pushed Federal Agencies to Be Green Leaders: Issued executive order in 2009 requiring all federal agencies to make plans to soften their environmental impacts by 2020. Goals include 30 percent reduction in fleet gasoline use, 26 percent boost in water efficiency, and sustainability requirements for 95 percent of all federal contracts. Because federal government is the country’s single biggest purchaser of goods and services, likely to have ripple effects throughout the economy for years to come.
32 Passed Fair Sentencing Act: Signed 2010 legislation that reduces sentencing disparity between crack versus powder cocaine possessionfrom100 to1 to 18 to1.
33 Trimmed and Reoriented Missile Defense: Cut the Reagan-era “Star Wars” missile defense budget, saving $1.4 billion in 2010, and canceled plans to station antiballistic missile systems in Poland and the Czech Republic in favor of sea-based defense plan focused on Iran and North Korea.
34 Began Post-Post-9/11 Military Builddown: After winning agreement from congressional Republicans and Democrats in summer 2011 budget deal to reduce projected defense spending by $450 billion, proposed new DoD budget this year with cuts of that size and a new national defense strategy that would shrink ground forces from 570,000 to 490,000 over the next ten years while increasing programs in intelligence gathering and cyberwarfare.
36 Invested Heavily in Renewable Technology: As part of the 2009 stimulus, invested $90 billion, more than any previous administration, in research on smart grids, energy efficiency, electric cars, renewable electricity generation, cleaner coal, and biofuels.
37 Crafting Next-Generation School Tests: Devoted $330 million in stimulus money to pay two consortia of states and universities to create competing versions of new K-12 student performance tests based on latest psychometric research. New tests could transform the learning environment in vast majority of public school classrooms beginning in 2014.
38 Cracked Down on Bad For-Profit Colleges: In effort to fight predatory practices of some for-profit colleges, Department of Education issued “gainful employment” regulations in 2011 cutting off commercially focused schools from federal student aid funding if more than 35 percent of former students aren’t paying off their loans and/or if the average former student spends more than 12 percent of his or her total earnings servicing student loans.
39 Improved School Nutrition: In coordination with Michelle Obama, signed Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act in 2010 mandating $4.5 billion spending boost and higher nutritional and health standards for school lunches. New rules based on the law, released in January, double the amount of fruits and vegetables and require only whole grains in food served to students.
40 Expanded Hate Crimes Protections: Signed Hate Crimes Prevention Act (2009), which expands existing hate crime protections to include crimes based on a victim’s sexual orientation, gender, or disability, in addition to race, color, religion, or national origin.
41 Avoided Scandal: As of November 2011, served longer than any president in decades without a scandal, as measured by the appearance of the word “scandal” (or lack thereof) on the front page of the Washington Post.
42 Brokered Agreement for Speedy Compensation to Victims of Gulf Oil Spill: Though lacking statutory power to compel British Petroleum to act, used moral authority of his office to convince oil company to agree in 2010 to a $20 billion fund to compensate victims of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; $6.5 billion already paid out without lawsuits. By comparison, it took nearly two decades for plaintiffs in the Exxon Valdez Alaska oil spill case to receive $1.3 billion.
43 Created Recovery.gov: Web site run by independent board of inspectors general looking for fraud and abuse in stimulus spending, provides public with detailed information on every contract funded by $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Thanks partly to this transparency, board has uncovered very little fraud, and Web site has become national model: “The stimulus has done more to promote transparency at almost all levels of government than any piece of legislation in recent memory,” reports Governing magazine.
44 Pushed Broadband Coverage: Proposed and obtained in 2011 Federal Communications Commission approval for a shift of $8 billion in subsidies away from landlines and toward broadband Internet for lower-income rural families.
45 Expanded Health Coverage for Children: Signed 2009 Children’s Health Insurance Authorization Act, which allows the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to cover health care for 4 million more children, paid for by a tax increase on tobacco products.
46 Recognized the Dangers of Carbon Dioxide: In 2009, EPA declared carbon dioxide a pollutant, allowing the agency to regulate its production.
47 Expanded Stem Cell Research: In 2009, eliminated the Bush-era restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, which shows promise in treating spinal injuries, among many other areas.
48 Provided Payment to Wronged Minority Farmers: In 2009, signed Claims Resolution Act, which provided $4.6 billion in funding for a legal settlement with black and Native American farmers who the government cheated out of loans and natural resource royalties in years past.
49 Helped South Sudan Declare Independence: Helped South Sudan Declare Independence: Appointed two envoys to Sudan and personally attended a special UN meeting on the area. Through U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, helped negotiate a peaceful split in 2011.
50 Killed the F-22: In 2009, ended further purchases of Lockheed Martin single-seat, twin-engine, fighter aircraft, which cost $358 million apiece. Though the military had 187 built, the plane has never flown a single combat mission. Eliminating it saved $4 billion.

Ooooops.

Compliments of the conse(R)vatives.

Bush and republican explode the debt. Dem admins are always more fiscally responsible.
In fact the current $1.1T deficit came from Bush. Pres Obama tried to cut that Bush deficit but congressional repubs prevented him.
So your repubs are responsible for the whole problem. As always!
You're nutz. The deficit is a year to year number. Harry Reid (D-idiot) won't even ALLOW a budget in the Senate and hasn't for the last three years.
You should try earth sometime.
no budget? nonsensicle repub takling point!. Every year we pay our bills (even though repub tea party tried to hold the faith & credit worthiness of the US hostage)
We have the same deficit Bush left us (Obama cut a fraction). All other real attempts to cut it has been obstructed by Norquist beholden repubs who continue to protect millionaires & billionaires at the expense of the deficit and the 99%.
Peace, true dat!
I see you got no problem redistributing debt, but I suppose you object if we were talking about assets? The way I see it the bottom 50% own about 1% of the country so they owe about 1% of the debt, that works out to closer to around a thousand bucks for most of us, the problem is getting those who have a bigger stake to share in the debt to the same extend they share in the country.
The way I see it, the bottom 50% get 50% of the vote, so they need to kick in like everyone else. None of this freeloading BS.
We were never this "progressive", even under Clinton. The problem is getting your entitlement mentality to realize YOU need to contribute also. Not always "some other guy".
The way I see it people choose between those that get on the ballot for that you need money, truth be told the whole thing is owed by them that write the checks that send'em to Washington, that's about the top .5%.
Who are these 50% you claim are freeloading?
You don't know what you're talkin about.
do you listen to fox all day ? or are you fox ?

Romney is the new Bush.
