What do you think of Romney's speaking style?

[NYcarbineer]

Romney talks to Americans like a nice man talks to children.

Mr Rogers?

lol, I swear, I almost said he sounds like a cross between Mr. Rogers and Sean Hannity.

Romney talks to Americans like a nice man talks to children.

LOL... He'd do well hosting a kids show or something.

By allowing the corporatists to push Romney on us, we've allowed them - once again - to ensure that we have virtually no choice. Democracy in this nation is a sad, pathetic joke.

Oh now it's the corporatists pushing MITT upon us...? Really?

Obama raised a record-smashing $153 million in September '08 and has drawn in more money than any candidate in history is a backward step in campaign finance reform.

He speaks like a CEO when he knows what he's talking about (business) and a robot the rest of the time.

Oh, dear Mr. Sallow, I have to hand it to ya, you do love your party. Unfortunately, they don't call it the Executive Branch for advertising purposes.

America needs an Executive. We're already organized to provide for the common defense, which we won't have if we leave the smooth talker who hates our allies as evidenced by his insults against Britain his first month in office, and shows mercy to bullies and cowards. I'm sorry, Obama has fulfilled Peter's Principle to the max.

We're going to do our best to repair his bad-hair carcrash, I mean his very bad Karma.

If only you'd take your good looks and charisma to the people, Mr. Sallow. You're a good sort, but unfortunately, nobody can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear that President Obama has proven himself to be. *sigh*

Exactly!

Those are contributions toward a virtual unknown junior Senator from Illinois.

While some sunlight has been shed on the hefty sums shoveled into congressional campaign coffers in an effort to influence the Democrats' massive healthcare bill, little attention has been focused on the far larger sums received by President Barack Obama while he was a candidate in 2008.

A new figure, based on an exclusive analysis created for Raw Story by the Center for Responsive Politics, shows that President Obama received a staggering $20,175,303 from the healthcare industry during the 2008 election cycle, nearly three times the amount of his presidential rival John McCain.

Obama Received $20 Million from Healthcare Industry in 2008 Campaign | Common Dreams


Currently, the Center's website shows that Obama received $19,462,986 from the health sector, which includes health professionals ($11.7m), health services/HMOs ($1.4m), hospitals/nursing homes ($3.3m) and pharmaceuticals/health products ($2.1m). Miscellaneous health donations (from which Obama received $860,411) are also factored into the current total health sector numbers but are not accessible on the site.

Health insurance industry contributions, however, are not included within the Center's current health sector totals. Rather, contributions from the health insurance industry are contained within the site's finance and insurance sector. Seeking a more complete total, the Center culled health and accident insurance donations from this sector (for which Obama received $712,317) and combined them with his existing health sector total ($19,462,986) to arrive at his healthcare industry total ($20,175,303).

The Center employed the same methodology in its analysis for John McCain and based all of its findings on the latest data released by the Federal Election Commission.

Awkward and inauthentic is a speaking style?

It's been working for Dear Ruler.

Who would that be? Kim Jong Il? He's dead.

No, no, no......he was North Korea's Dear Ruler. You know I meant your Dear Ruler, Obama. Don't be ashamed.

Valerie, it wasn't clear from your post whether you were agreeing with me, or what. But to clarify - my point is that the corporatists are supporting both Obama and Romney. I suspect Obama is their first choice, but in Romney they've installed a 'safety', ensuring that - even if Obama loses - nothing of substance will change. This is the dynamic of nearly every election.

I don't think so.

I think the American people are the ones with the vote, and I think the American people have had quite enough socialism to last this nation a lifetime.

That's why I think it will be the people who show Obama to the door in November with pink slip in hand.

That's not so.

Obama has declared open warfare on the energy industry and the budget.

Romney proposes to put that to a screeching halt, and he will too.

I'm putting my money on Romney. Ain't much money, but oh, well, it's the thought that counts.

 

[Polk]

For someone declaring "open warfare" on energy, it's weird domestic production has spiked during his administration.

 

[dblack]

I hate to indulge cynicism, but "the people" are largely comprised of slackjawed TV watchers waiting to be told what to do.

That's why I think it will be the people who show Obama to the door in November with pink slip in hand.

So we'll change the nameplates at the White House. Do you really see anything else changing? You see Romney going balls out to repeal PPACA, NDAA, PATRIOT, etc, etc...?

Romney is going to do what he can. He will go after the bottom line deficit and do all that can be done, plus he will balance the budget.

And some people won't like it.

 

[kwc57]

this place is dysfunctional. The inability of most to focus on a topic, avoid lame deflection and resist taking the cheap shot has overcome any good intentions.

To those who looked down their bullshit noses and claimed that they are interested in "substance" and don't pay attention to style.............fuck you.

So we can consider that an epic-fail taking into account all his efforts to prevent such a thing.

I also love the fact he stopped Keystone thus preventing us from getting oil at $79/barrel when everyone else is charging $120.

Thanks Mr President.

 

[Avorysuds]

It's hard for me to care about how someone talk when what they talk about is a load of crap. Mitt lies non stop, all you have to do is not be a "anyone but Obama" retard to see it, meaning you actually care about the country rather than just a party name.

Obama will have a billion dollars to make sure every Republican knows just how alike Obama and Mitt are… Depress the Republican voters by advertizing their candidate is the tactic.

 

[Polk]

I'd love to see the source for this claim the Keystone pipeline would cause a 33% drop in prices.

That's not quite true now is it? Production on private lands which Obama can't do anything about has spiked? Why? Because he has willfully crippled all other production. The "spike" the admin likes to tout is just a tree in a forest.
