To Obama it's "The State of The Election". He has no higher priority than reelection.

Give me a break----Obama does it and it's something new and unique to him, others do it and it's just fine. Get over it, he is going to be in office again:) You guys can't come up with anyone that can touch him.

Well what little income taxes you put into the system, you ought to know that the money goes to people who pay nothing and they have more disposable income than you.......

IF that happens, you will spend the next 4 years hearing: "Don't blame us, we didn't vote for him". I predict right here and now that IF he is re-elected, this country will be praying for the misery index we saw with Carter and that will look like a walk in the park. Obama is a true disaster for this country. This past 4 years has proven that.

Talk about making assumptions, I'll never know why the right on here likes to act like they know everyone and just assume anyone on the left is a deadbeat.

what did you expect when the only jobs the gop produces are minimum wage jobs geared for high school kids living at home? Lower wages means the need for entitlements will go up and the chance of you getting beat and robbed also increases. eventually you wont like the environment you helped create. it sucksto be you.

My University aged kid took on 3 jobs last year and works two during his attendance at class.... He has friends who think most jobs don't pay enough..... My Son tells me that the jobs are out there and they are too lazy to work..... He buys his own plane tickets for Spring Breaks and stays at the Hilton when he goes.... He also has a 50" LED TV he bought, pays his own insurance for car and health..... He also buys his own Season Tickets for Ski Resort up North.... He does have jobs where he doesn't get beat and robbed.... It sucks that you have given up on your family........ Why are my kids successful? Maybe they didn't have a loser for a parent who thinks this Country is "Unfair"........ Go back and watch more Disney films.....

All these low paying jobs you speak of seem to be popping up under the Obama adinistration. Are you blaming Bush for that also?
The time to stop blaming Bush for everything is long over.

The dems seem to be running against Bush again. It seems to still work with the ostrich sect of libs who bury their head when Obama does the same exact thing as Bush, but I'm not sure the independents are going to fall for it again.
As for conservatives, blaming Bush has lost it's sting, much like the baseless race card flinging. They've done all that so much it's pretty much become a joke at this point.

Your fairy tales sound like you're the one watching disney films to get ideas for topix... You know nothing of my families accomplishments which I am sure are much more positive and successful than anything you or that spoonfed kid of yours will ever do. The kid must not put many hours per week in or it can only handle one class a semester anyway bragging about his job at taco bell and the Sunny mart station wont pay for tuition room and board it sounds more like he wastes it on vacation items and goofing off while the tax payers are footing the rest of the bill. Most people looking for work are not lazy they have pride and they want a job that will support them without the need for entitlements something you corporate welfare reciepients couldnt do without. Like I said eventually you will dislike the environment you helped create and I can tell by your constant whine that you already do and that makes you the loser.

Now dont forget bush I and II created the environment for business to offshore but I'm also blaming people like romney who brag about job creation at places like not enoughstaples or that pizza joint as creating good jobs that are nothing more than minimum wage jobs for high school kids. These jobs may be popping up under Obamas term but it is republicans like romeny and the likes who are creating them and people like you who vote for them.

Oh and he pays his own rent and utilities without receiving Fed or State aid. Also he is not in any of the industries you describe. So get out there and get a job. Stop your whinning.......

I have learned from another, that Fox has snubbed Newt Gingrich, by not airing his victory speech, after winning South Carolina.....while the major media sources all aired his speech.....anyone here watch Fox enough, to know if this is true?......or, maybe they aren't allowed to notice such things?
