Obama: A year to Election Day, numbers good and bad

Romney as CEO of Bain Capital led as a greedy corporate corporate raider.

A CEO of any company has to make a lot of tough decisions that benefit the shareholders and the company something that liberals don't seem to understand. Bain Capital and Wall Street is giving a lot of money to Obama which dispels that obama claim that he is a champion for the average American. What is going to be on the ballot in 2012 will be the Obama record. If what Romney did at Bain Capital trumps the Obama record then by all means vote for Obama. I will be voting for Romney

If Wall Street give the most to Obama, that means they think he will win. They're not stupid.
 
Conservative said:
Wow, what a surprise, you voting for Obama! LOL, There is no surprise there as results don't matter and any support for Obama shows the leftwing leanings that you have and your promotion of a massive central govt. that produces the nanny state. This country wasn't built on those principles and the economic conditions in this country TODAY show that.

Just like results didn't matter to you when you voted for Bush in 2004 and the only reason you voted for him was because of the (R) after his name.

If he is the nominee and I doubt he will be I will hold my nose and vote to fire our one term liberal disaster.

Then you should be ok with those who do the same with Obama, since results don't matter to you.

This is exactly right. People like to bash Obama for getting the most money of all candidates from Goldman Sach's last election. Pretty much all of that came at the end of the race when it was obvious he was going to win and wall street was sucking up and hedging their bets. If you look at Opensecrets.org you'll see they were also filling McCain's campaign coffers but when it came to the end they overloaded to be able to say, "Look, we were behind you all the way!"

Snakes in the grass they are.

That flies in the face of the Obama supporters who are anti Wall Street and the Obama rhetoric which talks about the evils of Wall Street. Goes to show what he says is different than what he does. So which Obama do you support?

So can I assume you will follow suite with Wall Street (the 1%) and vote for BHO this time? Seems kinda hypocritical don't ya think?

Like I said before, the financial's that got behind Obama last election where last minute to hedge their bets. They were funding both sides and when it became obvious who was going to win, they threw more behind him to be able to say, "we were with you all the way!111!!!!" Of the reasons that I didn't and won't vote for Obama, I think this would be at the bottom because I think the policies are more pro-wall street on the right.

HUH? Ambiguous.

Romney balanced a blue state budget and has the business experience that "your" President can only dream about even today. "Your" President is a community agitator not a leader, Romney has proven to have leadership skills and as a Governor actually balanced a budget[/QUO

Glad to see you are getting with the program and rallying around your candidate. You are way ahead of your regressive peers that want anyone but the heir apparent.

He has. He hasn't actually been on the site since January 2010. His computer just robo-posts the same tired message 5 times a day. I heard he became the local leader of Occupy Houston. He just forgot his computer is logged on and still posting the non-sense he authored nearly two years ago.
