One sunny day in January, 2013, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he'd been sitting on a park bench.

He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."

The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here."

The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.

The following day the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."

The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here."

The man thanked him and again just walked away.

The third day the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama." The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I've told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"

The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir!".

Don't forget to vote (for all the good it will do! With the choices they "allow" us only the faces and names ever change, not the politics!)!

WARNING!!!.....NEW STRAIN OF AN OLD DISEASE!!!!

Hope none of you are afflicted with this horrible disease!!

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called, "Gonorrhea Lectim." It pronounced "Gonna re-elect him" and it is a terrible Obamanation.

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008...But now most people, after having been infected for the past 3 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.

It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose now and the second dose in Nov. 2012 and simply don't engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.

yep, same crap. the pres will be elected
before the west has finished voting. elected
by the paid for electoral votes which
isn't you or me for sure,,,


I may not be a Romney fan and I did support other candidates before he got the nomination but he is a lot different then Obama and he is a better choice. Romney has held an actual job, he has founded successful companies, ran companies, built a business model some of the most successful companies across the world use on a daily basis, acrosss managed people, created budgets, donates a good amount to charity, saved failing businesses, saved a major international event that was on the brink of being cancelled because of mismanagement and debt(kinda like our economy), was a successful Governor (Executive experience).

Now what has his Obama achieved ummmmm, we he was a community organizer, umm a state senator, US senator. No management experience, no business experience, no financial experience no executive experience. What has he accomplished? He has increased the unemployment % (hasn't met with his jobs council in over 6 months-23 millions out of work and hasn't met with his jobs council in 6 MONTHS!), deficit has skyrocketed and he has gotten the United States the first credit rating downgrade in history! But hey, the guy can sure give a speech. whoa

They are far from the same and only one has the qualifications end experience needed to fix the messes Obama has gotten us into.

I think he will be elected because public perception views Romney and Ryan and republicans in general as pro elite and neutral to ANYONE else


not supporting abortion of insured birth control(which turns many women voters off)

not supporting same sex marriage (which turns many homosexual voters off)

not supporting aid for the middle and lower class social programs(which turns many middle and lower class off)

supporting the privatization of medicare (which turns off many ill, and elderly)

supporting more perks (Tax cuts) for the wealthy (which turns off many middle and lower classs)


,,,the repubs this year have managed to TURN off alot of voting demographics, which is very likely to cost them the presidency

my boy Bill said it best 'we left you a mess, you havent cleaned it up fast enough, so let us back in to keep doing what lead to the mess'

And this is just women voters....he is also losing the youth vote....stay tuned...

New ABC/Washington Post poll finds His Arrogance "underwater."

Barack Obama approaches his nomination for a second term with the lowest pre-convention personal popularity of an incumbent president in ABC News/Washington Post polls since the 1980s. He’s also at his lowest of the year among registered voters, with trouble among women.

Just 47 percent of registered voters in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll see Obama favorably overall, down 7 percentage points from his recent peak in April, while 49 percent rate him unfavorably. He’s numerically underwater in this group for the first time since February.

See PDF with full results, charts and tables here.

The decline has occurred entirely among women registered voters – from 57-39 percent favorable-unfavorable in April to a numerically negative 46-50 percent now.

Excerpts from a great article about young American voters and current administration...

On June 15, 2012, adding insult to injury, the president issued an administrative fiat from the White House Rose Garden extending what amounts to work-permit amnesty for an estimated 1.4 million undocumented younger people brought to the United States before their 16th birthday “through no fault of their own.”

Estimates of U.S. citizens of all ages currently unemployed or under-employed range from 25 million to 40 million. Hispanic unemployment is at 11 percent, while unemployment among black Americans is 15 percent, with black youth unemployment as high as 40.5 percent.

Obama’s “prosecutorial discretion” bastardizes the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, Education for Alien Minors) that was making its way through Congress. The president’s temporary provision has no real purpose other than to secure Hispanic votes in November

A New York Times story on July 2, 2012, quoted a Central Michigan University student as saying, “But there’s a lot of discouragement going around.” A recent Gallup national poll shows support for Obama in the 18- to 30-year age group dropping 20 percent.

America’s rising young stars of business, engineering, law, medicine, and the sciences who have jobs suspect that government-controlled work in a second Obama term will resemble indentured servitude. Mediocrity is becoming the national norm.

A recent Harvard University study found that young voters think it important to protect individual liberties from government control. Yet, the Obama administration means to fundamentally “change” the United States of America into a European-style socialist government.

Obama's decisions to relax U.S. immigration laws and regulations can only advance an open-door immigration policy. Meanwhile unemployed U.S. citizen “youths” moving back home with their folks face the realization that American exceptionalism could become a thing of the past.

Obama is losing the young vote.

the numbers are interesting

as of july , seasonally adjusted unemployment is
7.4 for whites
14.2 for blacks
10.3 for hispanics


the race remains close in all demographics
but I think that will change the more Romney talks

kind of like what happened to McCain when Palin started talking
