Obama's a hypocrite

[southernhorizons]

Obama's supposed to be for the middle class, unlike Romney who supposedly favors the rich. But he is really just a hypocrite. I saw one of his ads while I was doing a survey, where he accuses Romney of wanting to raise taxes on middle class households by $2000. Really it is Obama who has already done that (actually more than $2000) with Obamacare! He can't fall back on the excuse that the healthcare taxes are fines, since the Supreme Court has ruled that it is indeed a new tax,  which falls squarely on the shoulders of the middle class, since the rich can afford the best private insurance, and certainly won't need to pay any fines or taxes. I know Romney lies as much as Obama, you can't believe a word of what most politicians say, and all the presidents are just puppets anyway, but unfortunately for our country there are too many sheeple that just blindly follow the media and still believe Obama's their savior. (Although the first time around Obama did tell the truth about a lot of his openly communist plans for the country, and people still voted for him! Americans today obviously don't care about freedom any more).

If you think for one second Romney would do better than Obama then ypu get what ypu deserve.  Obama is for the Middle class more than Romney is, so I rather have Obama than the rich, rich Romney making his friends and family richer.

I agree, those people in England and Canada have no freedoms because of government healthcare.  Go ask them how miserable there lives are because of it.  FREEDOM!

I don't think Americans don't care about freedom anymore.  What I really think is that too many Americans got FAT AND HAPPY and fell into a TRANCE.  Too many out there still think everything's just hunky-dorey and need to wake up and FAST.  Obama's done more damage to this country in 4 years than all the past Presidents put together.  He by-passes Congress on too many occasions.  He's buried us and future generations in phenomenal debt.  He spends money like there's no tomorrow, and mostly, he GIVES our money away to countries that are sworn enemies.  He tries to APPEASE these cretins by BOWING DOWN and KISSING A**.  Excuse me, but NO American President should EVER bend over and take it the way HE has!  His MAIN interest in the Presidency is flapping his lips in the wind but never making any sense, or worse, blaming somebody else.  When it comes to doing the JOB involved in being the President, he has absolutely ZERO interest.  Americans do BEST when they TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS.  This President doesn't know what the word "responsibility" means.

I don't understand where you're going with this.  If anything, obesity is more of a problem in republican states, which in turn means insurance companies have to pay more for their inevitable health problems, which means they have to raise their rates for everyone else.  Here's an article http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012/09/19/state-obesity-rates-could-skyrocket-by-2030/57799906/1

Obama's done more damage to this country in 4 years than all the past Presidents put together. 

All I have to do is look back less than 10 years to find two huge unfunded wars with tax-cuts that put our economy into this mess.

He by-passes Congress on too many occasions. 

I won't say it's right, but the tea party backed republicans have done nothing but gridlock congress.  They refuse to compromise which has always been what makes congress work.

He's buried us and future generations in phenomenal debt.  He spends money like there's no tomorrow, and mostly,

see above

he GIVES our money away to countries that are sworn enemies. 

Please provide just ONE example.  Otherwise stop listening to Rush

He tries to APPEASE these cretins by BOWING DOWN and KISSING A**.  Excuse me, but NO American President should EVER bend over and take it the way HE has!  His MAIN interest in the Presidency is flapping his lips in the wind but never making any sense, or worse, blaming somebody else.  When it comes to doing the JOB involved in being the President, he has absolutely ZERO interest.  Americans do BEST when they TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS.  This President doesn't know what the word "responsibility" means.

I just.....ugh.

I'm not carrying the rich on my shoulders, neither do I want to carry the "poor." Romney isn't going to get rid of medicare, just reform it so that there will be something left for us younger people who are paying in far more that the old people ever did, due to lower wages back then. Obama has had 4 years to bring back jobs, yet when it came time to approve the keystone pipeline which would've created a lot of good paying jobs, he denied it to appease the envirnomentalists. As for the rest, it's amazing how people are so adamant about their so-called rights, but they don't mind at all giving up the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution, rights that this country was founded to protect.
By the way, women have the right to do what they want to their own bodies, but not to the helpless little body that's growing inside them.

The thing that gets me,is after watching the state of politics for 20 years,the Democrats trot out the same bull every election.
"The Republicans are going to tax the middle class while cutting taxes on the wealthy!
Cut Medicare!
Scrap Social Security!
Outlaw Abortion!"

And in those 20yrs,with 2 republican presidents and several times controling the congress none those scare tactics have come to pass.When are people going to wake up to the same-old garbage from the left?Obama had his shot and made a mess of it.It's time for him to go and give someone else a shot to do what he couldn't.

Thanks Blacksheepny, Southernhorizones and Jedi. Between the three of you i don't think i need to add anything else you guys seem to have hit it all right on. And you are right Obama is a hypocrite and worse he is someones puppet.

[tammypete]

With Obama and government healthcare...Just wait.....There will be nothing but PA's treating the sick with there what 4 to 5 year education....Fewer tests will be done for diagnosis and more people will DIE!  THats OBAMA helping out!!!!!

I'm glad I don't put my trust in one person to run the country. People in politics lie when they open their mouths. They have to sound convincing so people will vote for them. So far, I have not heard one specific thing that Romney would do as President to turn this country around, just a bunch of promises. That's not good enough for me.

There all hypocrites but I dont care what you folks think of abortion. All though myself I have never had one, but it if I did want too I dont want a bunch of prolife junkies in my business about what I do with my body. Also Many folks dont like republicans because they are for the rich and they have borrowed from medicare and other things to pay for wars. To me Romney is a liar and no Im not gonna sit here and point out why I feel this way cause I dont have to. If you dont like Obama stop whinning and just dont vote for him simple as that.

Because not voting for Obama means that his policies will not affect me, right? You know whats great about this country? I can complain all I want to, regardless or whether or not I voted.

If you dont vote thats your choice. Im speaking to the ones who think that the only person on the ballot is just 2 people. There is other parties and if you dont like none of them then your choice is neither so dont twist my words like i was speaking to you directly cause you dont vote. I really dont care what others do with they vote I only care about mines.

I think you missed the whole point on the "outlaw abortion" comment. The Supreme Court has ruled abortion to be a fundamental right protected by the U.S. Constitution. That means the POTUS cannot outlaw abortion, nor does he have the authority to overturn a Supreme Court ruling in order to make such a law. The whole claim that Romney would outlaw abortion is just a scare tactic to get the vote of various woman's rights groups. Of course, there are plenty of pro-life groups that will vote for Romney in hope he will overturn the ruling even though cannot. Helps to explain some of the mess this country is in.
