From our "under the radar" president

From the cited article...righhhhtttt...I don't know what's more ludicrous...the following quote from Ben LaBolt regarding Obama and the 2A or the other thread that suggests Big Sis might go down...

“The president's record makes clear the he supports and respects the 2nd amendment...” said campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt.

from the horse's mouth...

"They're doing a pretty good job ... as Obama has said, 'under the radar.'

I think Big Teddy pretty well summed it up!! And I have my fingers crossed for that landslide Dusty predicts. Obama by his own words and deeds have aligned the stars for his defeat, but if Romney and the Republicans run as if they are afraid of offending anyone and everyone like the last presidential hopeful in 2008 then we are in for another four years of God knows what.

People vote for reasons that are not always apparent, or logical, to someone else. It usually is to them.

I remember when Senator Goldwater ran for Pres.in 1964,the libs said if we vote for him we'll have an escalation of the war in Vietnam,and I did and they were right we did have an escalation..........

If Romney doesn't work out I'll vote for Big Teddy. A lot of people with knowledge of the issues support Obama, but anyone with actual experience on the issues is against him and his policies that seem to be coming straight from a 1950s Moscow.

I want Mitt to win just as much as any Republican. But if anyone thinks this old, stiff out of touch white as can be guy is going to beat Obama. Your living in a fantasy world. This isn't the same America as ten years ago. The Guy is having an elevator put in his house in order to bring his car into his living room. So he doesn't have to walk out side. Thats the republican candidate. Just sad.

And the problem with that is??? It used to be that if we saw someone like that, we would say "wow, someday, if I work hard enough, maybe I can have an elevator in my house." Now it is"do you see that f*&ing guy. Why does he get an elevator in his house and I don't have one? He must have taken something from me so that he could be better off"

That is the whole problem with this country. Everyone thinks the size of the pie stays the same, therefore if you have more, I must have less. Instead of the pie changes size, and even though you have a bigger piece, because the pie is bigger, so do I.

Class warfare at it's best. Not saying you believe that, but a majority of people now adays see it that way. Just the other day I was at a family dinner and my cousin was giving me shit about my mercedes, and how I think I am better than him. Well jackass, I have 2 masters degrees, and have steadily been climbing the ladder for 18 years. You on the other hand barely have a BA, smoke pot most of the day, and took a dead end job because it was easy. He thinks because I have it good, it is my fault he isn't as well off.

Tough Shit.

Do you know this for a fact, K.? Living in Hermosa Beach, I had several neighbors that had "elevators" for their cars. Parking is VERY tight and restricted in beach areas. It's easier (and potentially cheaper) to just hoist (the proper term) one vehicle over the other in the garage.

I hope so, too. When I get the case from you for the Romney win, I'll send it to the guy I owe for the Gingrich no-go.
