Pity, he was the only one I found more entertaining than terrifying. Romney is more nauseating, I think.

Right now it feels more like a skip the voting booth day altogether. If Obama can convince me that he does take the debt seriously, I can overlook his lack of leadership thus far... but we'll see.

He does, but the republican-controlled House won't raise taxes on the wealthy. We can only cut so much. Income needs to increase.

LBJ? That's when southerners hated the republicans for freeing the slaves. Now they hate the Democrats for ensuring civil rights for African-Americans.

Bain financial in Boston, is training all their employees on how to answer about the firing the company did under Romney. They are not to talk about it but if confronted can answer some questions with what they have learned at these training sessions. Interesting that the company is concerned enough to have training sessions for the executives on it.

I bet the company's not concerned at all, they just got a large donation from the Romney campaign to very thoroughly cover the costs of the training sessions.

I'm sticking with Newt, the candidate for thinly disguised racism. He calls Obama the "food stamp" president and has put forth the idea that low income youth should be assigned some kind of civic employment, so they can learn about the work ethic, since no one in the projects is available as a role model.

I also heard him saying on NPR this morning that he favors jobs over work stamps. Oh, Newt you job creator, you. Just don't say anything to all the people you laid off at Bain Financial.
