I would like to say good luck to those in 2012 Presidential Election running. I wonder when we will have a year book review like in Middle and High School. It was passed around to friends, non-friends, teachers, and etc. to get feedback on people’s likes and dislikes about us. I believe, it is really needed as a tool for information and evaluation. “Changes” I hear load and clear still from approx. 4 yrs ago and many other promises from previous persons; however, words do ring strong without actions and statures of decree.
I remember a little boy years ago who was a book reader and quite level headed when dilemmas came about. He claimed he had read every book because he had to gain knowledge to leave a strong place to combate the things to make people safe, respected, and many other important things in life. I browsed through these 2012 President Election pictures of 2012 with this mind frame while remembering those year book pictures statements: I like pizza :boys :girls & etc. (pieces of me), and only one picture in 2012 could I hear that little boy ringing out strong with pure intentions of reading all those books. If this guy has a little tiny voice and discipline as that little boy than he would make changes and difference to reflect not only this country, but much more in the future.

I cant believe so many people still want Obama. I haven’t seen the trillion dollars he spent do anything. He passes a health care bill thats going to force people to buy it and everyone that has it to pay more. Way to go Obama

I agree with everything Seth said. I can tell he has done his homework and advise all of us to do the same thing. If we really want to know about something some one did or even about that candidate then we need to do our own research and not rely on CNN or FOX to decide in 2012. Do some homework and find out for our self!

12 Jean Blistering October 5, 2011 at 10:55 am

All I can say is the “Jobs Bill” that was given to the republicans to vote on was a waist of time. Why would they not vote on it? Who do they think they are? Are they in such a comfort zone way up in republican world they are blind? Self serving, manipulating, egotistical, arrogant
men! I just want you to know actions speak volumes! You are not worthy of your position. You are not good stewards for our Country. You are either ignorant or confident the fix is in. You sell your people out and hold your head up high? You just sealed the deal with this little move. I now, out of discuss with your behavior, will vote for him. I not only will vote for him, I will see to it most others vote!! I am very effective. You have no business other than your own, being in the position you are in. I don’t know how you look at yourself everyday. If I had my way, you would be down here with the rest of us. No job for you! You should be fired!

13 BLOWHARD October 11, 2011 at 2:26 pm: Perhaps you haven’t noticed that Harry Reid has not brought the proposed bill to the floor for a vote either. You see, the bill is more political crap spewing forth from the POS of the US. It is not a serious jobs bill. It is hate against those who earn money by those who steal money. Reid can’t pass it with a majority because it sucks, just like its author and followers like you…

obama should win

15 sheila September 19, 2011 at 12:30 am

I will not vote for a republican period they are for the rich. I am a veteran and the republicans are trying to take are retirements and not give us raises. ARE THEY CRAZY I serve my country for 22 1/2 years for those benefits for those republican itots to take them away this would be cruel. How would any of you feel if your son, daughter, niece, nephew, husband, wife came home with no limbs body have way burnt from war? well? how would you really feel? You did not go out there on those dangerous lines do you know what type of people those young soldiers was dealing with? Example is post 9/11 so think about this. Vote for Obama he is for the Veterans. His intention was to do what he said he was going to do, but what happens when their are wars and other issues he just can get to it plus bush did leave behind 8 years of mess he had to clean up which prevented him from doing what he needed to do. So get your facts right and read all the things President Bush did not do you didn’t condemed him oh I know why he was white.

16 :( September 23, 2011 at 2:13 am

Haven’t you been watching the news…we are in worse shape now than when Obama took office. We’re 3 trillion more dollars in debt and he can’t stop spending…he things more spending will create more jobs…it makes zero sense! As the world can see, this man cannot govern. He’s had his chance! He’s done more damage than all the years Bush was in office.

17 :| October 25, 2011 at 11:45 pm: Basic principles of Macroeconomics:

Right now we are slowly progressing out of a recession. History (and John Meynard Keynes) has proven what? That the reason this is so is the same reason we have been at full employment for all these years (neither at recession nor inflation)… we are a consumer-based economy (We spend on EVERYTHING). SPENDING = GDP.

During a recession, people are losing jobs and because of that, they save instead of spend. When they save, firms realize that they are producing more than they are selling so they have to lay-off more workers. These laid-off workers stop spending as well. Firms stop buying materials. GDP TUMBLES/STOPS. The only one who does end up spending (because it is NEEDED) is the Government. As the government spends on policies, jobs, etc… it (hypothetically) is expected to work with companies who will then hire workers who will then spend and then our GDP will be back on track.

That is why he is spending.

Sheila you should learn to type. Plus can you even name three positive things Obama has done for our country??

19 Alexandria December 12, 2011 at 7:10 am

Sheila,

Obama is not for the veterans AT ALL! My mom served her country in the Gulf War, came back and now has chronic blood clots because of some of the chemicals her unit got into over there. Obama has passed laws that ban any service member or veteran with Post-Part-Depression from a firearm! Even a hunting rifle!! what service member doesn’t have AT LEAST minor PTSD? Obama is trying to take away funding for veterans. Do you read your bills that go through congress? i would suggest doing so.

Oh, and saying the reason why we are condeming obama is because he is black. WRONG! I am all for a black president. I am all for a women president. I love everyone, no matter the race, color, size shape. If you truly are a veteran i suggest you look at yourself. Veterans live with honor and dignity. I see it everyday coming from a military family. I have had 2 Uncles die in desert shield and storm. And I have had the best cousin in the world die in Afghanistan. Before you go saying that Iraqi freedom is a mess and a mistake… think of this. We all have had loved ones die in war. some more than others. thank-you for what you have done for this country; but please think before you write. God Bless

24 seth August 3, 2011 at 11:38 pm

Ok now about this list of Republican candidates… Seeing Bill O’Reilly’s and Glenn Beck’s photos made me laugh. O’Reilly wouldn’t get votes from the over the top silly social Conservatives, especially after his statement about gay marriage, and adoption. In which he states that he doesn’t feel anyone should be denied that happiness, and feels its ok for gays to adopt children especially if they’re going into a loving stable home.

Glenn Beck doesn’t like Republicans, doesn’t like Democrats, and he’s a Libertarian- and would also get hated on by the silly social Conservatives.

Only two people who will beat Obama is Mitt Romney, and Rick Perry if he decides to run. They would be the people independents go to, to turn the economy around. I could see Romney winning over Perry making him his vice, being that Perry is way more socially Conservative than Romney- which I think Republicans need to drop, because its silly. Sure the family is important, and the breakdown of families is a major cause in the increasingly becoming craptacular society. However I don’t want some politician telling me how I should live my life socially, especially if he’s sneaking about cheating on his wife.

The gay marriage, and abortion thing really annoy me, and I wish a politician had the balls to stand up and say….

On gay marriage

“When I think of marriage the first thing that comes to mind is one man, and one woman, coming together out of the love they have for each other, and creating and raising new life. Because of their differences both bring something to the table in raising children that creates the ideal environment ESPECIALLY if there is love, stability, and wisdom, which are the only important things in raising children. However there are many different types of families out there, always have been and when there is love, stability, and wisdom coming from the ones raising the children, its a good thing. I’m no one to tell two consenting adults who love each other, they can or cannot marry.”

That would kill the whole gay marriage issue right there, its also common sense.

On Abortion..

“I think abortion is horrible, especially given the reason why it was created. (created by progressives, to weed out undesirables mostly blacks, under Margret Sanger’s “Negro Project”). When I think of abortion I see it as a child who could have created something to advance mankind in great way, never having that chance. However there are incidents in which a woman is raped by her father, uncle, brother, or some random loon off the streets. Or there may be health issues involved, to where the woman may not be strong enough to go through the process and it ends up being, her or the baby. Or if its discovered the child may be mentally disabled, does the mother (if she’s alone), or family think they/she can handle giving that child the extra care he/she will need? Such decisions should ONLY be between the woman, the man if he is in the picture, the families- and god if they believe…. Not the government, not a politician. The woman who decides abortion based on the named issues, should get all of the help she needs if she is not financially sound.”

Abortion debate over.

God isn’t going to punish the country, or any politician who says such things. Anyone who believes so not only knows nothing about god. Politicians shouldn’t and never governed with religion. Our founding fathers created separation of church and state, not to keep faith out of the public the way many silly liberals believe. But to keep faith safe from the government, as these men came from Europe who’s government got its hands into the church, and ruled the people quite harshly through it. Its all about the personal relationship one has with god, as we are all judged as individuals, not as a nation. And those who are not without sin, should not be imposing their religious beliefs upon anyone.

35 Mark B Graham July 30, 2011 at 11:11 am

I think the American People are tired of the Republicans and Democrats over all. I think we should make the Banking Institutions pay back money for the bailouts that was suppose to help but instead sent high executives on vacation. Also we should make these Countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and South Korea. to name a few to pay us to help them defend or create a new government. The one thing I see to help get control of our debt is to do a pay cut of at least 5 percent for all Senators and Representatives. If they cant help the American people then let them loose money, not the people of the United States. Let the United States use Fair Trade to earn money for goods not Free Trade where the country gets nothing. My name is Mark B Graham and I am Running for President in 2012

Many of us are not involved and engaged. People of USA needs to be more concerned and be imprative to be politically engaged. Here is a big problem, when we are not engaged, and we have no real idea what’s happening in the political circle, that time we stay un-informed. As a nation we have to be focusing devoloping pro-political schema and need to be fair with our president. President Obama came in power on Jan 20, 2009 when as a nation we were facing economic disaster and no doubt it was very hardship for him to takeover, howwever he did took the job. As we are standing on the sideline we need to be helping the man and give him support that he can perform the job as it needed. Yet we are creating problems, so please dont blame Obama, if you have to blame some one then blame Tony Blair and his close friend our former president W. Bush. because the war on-terror and so called Iraqi MAS-Distruction brought us as nation where we are in deep down recession.

Bottom line, Obama needs his 2nd term. Just dont be ignored like as we proved ourselves in 2003 with the vogus Iraqi War and still we are paying for it. So here is my request please come out and support Obama for his 2nd term. Obama for US Presidnet in 2012. God Bless Obama and God bless usa.

We need to have term limits, a full audit and investigation of the FED, defund the U.N., enforce or immigration laws, defend our borders, round up the communists/communitarians and put them in jail, and end favored trade status with Red China!

Amen brother!!Faux viewers are racist and too lazy to think for themselves.
It’s an inconvenient fact for Republicans, but a fact nonetheless,that the GOP and the worst president(Bush for you slow thinkers)has done more than any party to ruin our country! They don’t call this the Second Republican Great Depression for nothing!! They caused it, they own it, and they should pay for it at the ballot box!!
It doesn’t matter what party you vote for as long as you VOTE AGAINST REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE!!!
If they aren’t voted out they will bankrupt this country with invasions for oil and tax cuts for their campaign donors!
It’s simple, easy to understand and history proves this not once, but twice. Look at the Great Depression! Does anyone want to suffer through that? If so, vote Republican. They’ll take you and the rest of us(those of us smart enough to figure it out) back to that again!!!

78 Seth August 3, 2011 at 11:07 pm: Anonymouse… Both Republicans, and Democrats have acknowledged that BOTH parties are the cause of the economic downturn. In case you didn’t know (which I’m sure you do not). This country, as well as others- started sliding into a recession during Clinton’s last years. 9/11 made it worse, having to go to war didn’t help, and as always… Whenever a party has full power, they get stupid and start spending. This is what happened when Clinton first became president, which then lead to Gingrich becoming speaker, and him working with Clinton turned things around. A lot of spending started going on under Bush, which has been said many times on Fox by the way.

Then in 06, or 07, when the Democrats took the house… The spending continued, not a surprise Nancy Pelosi is a big government, liberal Democrat, why would she not keep spending going? Then when Obama came into power, instead of reigning in the spending, and cutting taxes… He spends more money, more than Bush spent. Doesn’t pass a budget, and starts implementing big confusing bills that nobody read, and continue to find mistakes in- that has caused uncertainty among businesses big and small… Which in turn hurts jobs, and of course the economy. So yes Obama owns this economy, his policies have made it worse, can’t blame Bush anymore.

There are quite a few Democrats who are unhappy with Obama… Not all Democrats are big government left-wingers… At the same time there were Republicans who weren’t happy with Bush, and the things he did- and then got their asses kicked in 08, which made them get their shit together. Many of these Tea Party people, voted for Obama, because they were so angry with Republicans, and Bush. They called, they wrote, called and wrote more but felt ignored. When they see Obama to be yet another politician, to continue on with enlarging government, and spending like Bush did, it made them angry and now we have them, so thank Obama for the Tea Party.

So finally I will say… If you like big government, and big spending- then by all means vote for Obama.. However before you decide to do so, do some studying on what happens when government becomes too big… Europe today is perfect example.

If you believe government plays a role but can be dangerous if too big, if you believe in turning the economy around on the right track, along with the country, and want our enemies to fear us, and our friends to respect us, then don’t vote for Obama in 2012.

Rofl, Ebpookie, you sound exactly like everything you’re accusing Hazel Miller of… Not to mention the typical brainwashed liberal twit.

Nobody on Fox has called Obama non-American… His policies however are not very American, as they mirror more of what Europe is now trying to move away from, because it has ruined them. Obama has a big government, liberal, Keynesian economic view… And no I don’t mean Kenyan… Do your homework on Keynesian economics… It doesn’t work.

Americans like myself, who actually pay attention to the world, aren’t slaves to parties, or get enchanted by silly slogans like “Hope”, and “Change”, didn’t buy into the crap Obama was talking in 08. Not only that but we also paid attention to who he’s surrounded himself with, and in one interview (which I’m sure you do not remember). Obama says “If you want to know who I am, and where I stand- look at the people I surround myself with.” Well I’ve been looking at many of the people he’s surrounded himself with, did research on them, heard them speak at events… They’re nothing more than big government left-wing socialist types, and some are even entertainers of Communist ideology… Very un-American.

I will agree with anyone who says Obama got a lot thrown on his plate, he did… Though Ronald Regan also had a lot thrown on his plate. When he began to reign in the spending, cut taxes, and reduce the size of government- the failing economy turned around- which gave birth to what people called “The excess 80′s”. Why can’t Obama do this? Its because Obama and co. have the big government, big liberal, big spending economic view, that DOES NOT WORK. Him blaming Bush now definitely shows how incompetent he is as a leader. Its been like what? 3 and a half years now? 08,09, 10, 11… His economic policies if he were doing the right things, would clearly have a positive effect on the country by now, we’d start seeing HUGE signs of great turnaround. However his policies have created more uncertainty, among businesses big and small which in turn has lead to, businesses taking their business elsewhere like to other states doing the right thing like Texas, or to other countries- all of which hurts jobs- which in turn hurts the economy.

Brain dead Liberals thought America would be loved and respected by the world if Obama became president. The opposite has happened. Obama has become the laughing stock of many around the world, especially with his embarrassing behaviors in the UK, and then the constant bowing which is ridiculous. We’ve been treating or biggest allies not so well, and most offensive was when he sends back the bust of Churchill, which was a gift to us from England, after 9/11. Our enemies become more bold by the day, and he’s not dealing with the boarder situation, which also leads to the drug cartels who’s violence has spilled into American states, and have taken many American lives… Not to mention these drug cartels have aligned themselves with Islamic terrorist, as they’ve not only been finding OTM’s (other than Mexicans), down there- but also Islamic literature, and IED’s the same kind our soldiers see in Iraq, and Afghanistan… Soooo I sure as hell won’t be surprised in the slightest if something far worse than 9/11 happens.

I applaud his decision on getting Osama, and sticking with the policies Bush had implemented in dealing with this whole crazy war.. I do not support his actions in Libya, or his reasons for doing so- when you had the same crap happening in other Middle Eastern countries.

Sorry but anyone who votes for Obama in 2012, is a bloody idiot. As a black American I find it embarrassing that the first Black American president (as he is seen by many), had to be a huge Liberal epic failure. Only thing Obama is good at, is raising money, campaigning, and going on vacations, he sucks with everything else- though I’m sure he’s a good dad, and nice person to hang with.

Mr.Gallops, thanks for suggesting Mike Pence as a possible candidate for the 2012 presidential election. Mike Pence is a member of the House of Representatives from Indiana’s 6th district. Pence is currently the Chairman of the House Republican Conference, which makes him the 3rd highest ranking Republican leader. I found no public comments from Pence on him contemplating a 2012 presidential run but we will monitor him.

Barry, thanks for suggesting Governor John Hoeven as a potential candidate for the 2012 presidential election. Hoeven is a former banker & ceo of the state owned bank of North Dakota. A banking background would be something beneficial to a president in these trying economic times. As Governor, the gdp of North Dakato has grown 75.8% & 40,000 new jobs have been created during his tenure. Hoeven will be another one to watch as we get closer to the 2012 presidential election. I will add him to the 2012 election poll.

Matt, you are correct that Mitch Daniels may run for president in 2012. I did some research on him and he looks like a good candidate for the republicans based on his record on reforming government, reducing taxes, stance on cap & trade & his ability to connect with voters. Daniels has publicly stated he will not run for president in 2012 but we’ll keep an eye on him as a possible candidate. I am also going to add Daniels to the 2012 election voting poll.
