When Obama joked in the debate about how busy Romney would be his first day in office, trying to do so much... that really should have been picked up on by the media.
I wish Romney had just replied 'Yes, I do plan to be busy as President. I plan to spend as much time possible working with the House and Senate. I plan to spend as much time as possible creating jobs for Americans. I plan to spend as much time as possible working with world leaders to solve international problems. I plan to spend as little time as possible playing golf, and appearing on talk-shows.'
Which would be a dumb as hell response. Obama has taken less in the way of holidays than most presidents, golf is a desire time activity which he apparently does less than twice a week (oh my god the president does something relaxing in his private time!) and the talk shows are of course part of campaigning just like all the speeches and rallies which both sides are doing now and that every president does at election time.
There are plenty of criticisms to be made of Obama but a lazy or do nothing president is not one of them.
Right, it is of utmost importance to appear on Letterman, or to be on The View instead of meeting with world leaders, or showing up to talk with Fallon/Stewart/Colbert.
Sorry, no. Trying to score a point by saying Romney wants to do too much is the dumb as hell thing to say.

Turns out that Romney showed the press a partial tax statement for 2010. It was discovered thereafter that a significan section of his tax form is missing. That part, by law, tells what the overseas investments do. For example, does Romney's company in the Cayman Island hold controllling stock in a...

At this point, who are you voting for? Romney or Obama?I realize it's a pretty redundant question, but I'm wondering what some of my followers(and hopefully new followers) actually think. Give me some legitimate reasons why you chose who you chose, and please try to refrain from...

What do you think about Mitt Romney being the first president in U.S. History to have millions stashed in offshore Tax Havens. You know I saw this tonight and it really bothers me that we keep letting people like this run for the US President. I'll tell you right up front that I don't support the...

Do you think there's still a chance that someone other than Romney or Gingrich will emerge and become the Republican nominee. Both Romney and Gingrich both have good, but not spectacular levels of support, and there is a sense that neither one of them quite fits the bill, in terms of what the party...
