   at a Red Sox game. Why was he booed? From what I can tell, he wasn't "campaigning." His video message was just commemorating Fenway's 100th anniversary. I disagree with Obama on several issues, but I'd never "boo" him. He is our POTUS, after all, and he deserves our respect.

      The office of the President should always be respected whether it is occupied by the perfect president or a buffoon, I don't think Mr. Obama is either. I don't think he is doing us right. He evidently believes that he is. Big difference of opinion. Not a booing offense.

         The economy improving, ending a useless war, killing Bin Laden, doing more on the war on terror than Bush would of dreamed, getting people healthcare where they couldn't in the past, etc. We're definately going down the wrong path.

            The pullout of Iraq was set up during the Bush administration. Obama said he would bring them home within a year and close gitmo. Obamacare is bankrupting the country. Obama didn't even acknowledge a war on terror until recently. Bin laden was ineffective by the time he was killed or there would have been better security around him. Although the people who did kill them deserve the credit not Obama. Neither house of Congress has been effective worrying about classes and showng none.Giving taxpayers money to defunct companies refusing to buck the EPA to alleviate gas prices. Yep, swat my fanny, he's a genius. I still respect the office.

            The economy is'nt improving, We are 15 trillion in debt. Factoring in all of those who've given up on finding a job sets unemployment at close to 15%. The O man did'nt kill Bin Laden, brave Seal forces did, using intelligence gathered from enhanced interogation methods the libs call torture, and is now outlawed per the O man and his libs. 16 million new patients have been added to the medicare rolls through Obama care. Regulations in Obama care stipulate what test doctors may order, lack of these tests opens the door for malpractice. These and other Obama care regulations have caused over 20,000 doctors to discontinue accepting medicare patients, more are following daily. Emergency rooms are being filled to capacity with these patients, causing Obama care cost to skyrocket. Insurance premiums for those who still have them are rising daily. Soon, long lines of patients will be dying before they recieve medical attention...Yeah were sure moving in the right direction alright.

               Or it is different somehow with Obama...and why? Why the lack of respect for him in the office he holds??

                  I have respect for any POTUS. It's like my children, I can criticize them, but not an outsider(Hostile foreigner). I've heard those who wish failure and uglier things on our POTUS. I'm not of that ilk. I just want the country back on solid footing, without all the class warfare and race baiting. America is loosing credibility with the rest of the world. There will be a world super power, I'd just as soon it be us. I don't think the majority of us would want to be ruled by most of the Rulers and Despots that exists around the globe. As for health care, I think there is merit with a single payer system. We are going to always need some form of safety net for others. But the current system of Medicaid is broke, both financially and managerially. Disability is awarded way too freely to hundreds of thousands. There's people drawing disability because they suffer "Social Anxiety", they've got to go off the roles. Life expectancy has increased from around 50 years for a man when the system began, to 74 at present, people are wiping out every dime they paid into the system within a few years of retirement. Unpopular radical cuts have to be made in every aspect of our entitlement system in order to save it for the true needy. We have a social dilemma with those who want the entitlements come hell or high water, until they are hopelessly spent into ruin. And those who wish to take action now to save them. The dilemma is hopelessly grid locked by politicians on both sides of the isle and in the middle because their reelection dictates that they keep kicking the can down to the next, and the next. Falsely leading people they are for them, and are saving their entitlements from the bad money grubbers of the other party, when in reality they are throwing a monetary band aid at it, in hope of being reelected in the next voting cycle. Then when reelected all the issues they divided the country over are not dealt with, because they wasn't concerned with those issues anyway. They were concerned with cajoling with other power players around the world and building up a fat nest egg of favors that will be returned, stock options that will be given, fabulous vacation villas, endowments to their presidential libraries. Their tremendous wealth will no longer be a matter of public record once their fortunes in I.O.U.s has been paid,  they're a private citizen again, So us suckers will be none the wiser. The can is about to be kicked into another Lame Duck Presidency, if we allow it.

      Maybe it's because his lawyer, Alexandra Hill admitted in court that the long-form birth certificate released April 2011 by Obama to prove his citizenship (and therefore his legal right to hold office) is actually a forgery; that Obama and his administration lied and falsified documents to fool the American people.  She then went on to insist that the forged document can't be used as evidence to confirm his lack of natural born citizenship status.
      
      So far, several states have ruled that he is ineligible to be listed on ballots because he is not a natural-born citizen.  From what I understand, people believe that his presidency is a fraud and Obama is a criminal who lied to the American people to become president.
      
      That's just my guess for why he'd get booed in public.

         you know, i could live with that! i guess as POTUS there will always be crazy conspiracy nuts too enamored of fantasy life to deal with reality.  That is certainly preferable to bush getting boo'd because he was so obviously less intelligent than most children, quail boo'd because he never learned how to spell and reagan boo'd because he ruined hundreds of thousands of families by actively waging war on organized labor unions.
         I imagine he's probably o.k. with the crazies booing.  what's really odd is use of the word "criminal".  now that we've proven reagan was illegally selling weapons to countries who were terrorizing America and American allies you would think there would be a good place for the word "criminal". instead ollie north plays the "don't-know-nuthin" patsy and everyone acts like he's a hero when all he did was get in the way of an investigation that would have resulted in reagan caught putting weapons in the hands of people killing Americans. 
         Instead like sheep we get worked up over clintons extra-marital affairs as though that affects the country at all.
         Obama is trying to make sure the people in this country who need help get it and the people working their butts off don't get raped by the rich corporations begging for corporate welfare and the people who will benefit the most are bust complaining about this ridiculousness?  Bankrupting the country? really?

                  You said it right in the beginning of your sentence, THEY MADE. Therefore they did not take. Now..Entitlements take and give nothing. But they cost everyone. Corporations make stuff, They hire people to make it, they sell it to people who work to make it. These worker's incomes are taxed and the corporation has to pay matching taxes. Then the corporations get taxed again when they sell their product. The government allows them to pay less tax as an incentive to invest more into their companies, thus creating more jobs. People anywhere can by a part of these companies through the stock market. These companies have to be profitable or the share holders go to another company that is. Investors may very well loose money so the government gives them a tax break if they are willing to take the gamble, because this grows companies,and the government wants taxes, so they hire more workers, thus growing the economy. SEE THE CYCLE HERE? If you tax the corporations at a higher rate, they have no incentive to invest in their company, so they don't create more jobs. If you tax the investors of these companies, they're rich and aren't concerned, so they will just put their money back into a tax deferred trust and not invest, thus creating no jobs. This is how an economy works. This is how a free market society will always work. When banks, brokerage houses and industries fail, they fail because the economy is going through a life cycle known as a market correction. The government who props up these institutions are only prolonging the correction cycle, causing consumer pain with inflation. That is why Americans are hurting, Place Blame where Blame is due. On Obamas Cronies Capitalism, not on corporations.
                  
                  And if we tax them for the 30% of 1.7 trillion....
                  
                  Well..Let's see...we'd have at least another 317 billion to prop up Obama's cronies at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
                  
                  We'd have another 60 Billion to prop up his gangster cronies at the SEIU, AFL-CIO,and UAW.
                  
                  We'd have 132.9 Billion for Obama and the gangster cronies at  UAW for the GM Bailout.
                  
                  Too many zero's for me, you can beat that dead horse for all it's worth.
                  
                  If your a member of the AFL-CIO, SEIU or UAW, Thank one of the 87% of Americans that is not a UNION MEMBER for forking over 60 Billion to pay for benefitslth benifits till 2018. THANKS TO OBAMAS GANGSTER GOVERNMENT BACK ALLY DEAL WITH RICHARD TRUMKA.

               "During the bruising Republican primaries, there was one candidate whose coverage was more relentlessly negative than the rest. In fact, he did not enjoy a single week where positive treatment by the media outweighed the negative.
               
               His name is Barack Obama.
               
               That is among the findings of a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism, a Washington nonprofit that examined 52 key newspaper, television, radio, and Web outlets.
               
               “Day in and day out, he was criticized by the entire Republican field on a variety of policies,” Mark Jurkowitz, the group’s associate director, says of Obama. “And he was inextricably linked to events that generated negative coverage”—including rising gas prices, the ailing economy, and the renewed debate over his health care law.
               
               In short, while the president was being hammered on both fronts, his message was somewhat drowned out by the volume of news coverage surrounding the GOP candidates.
               
               Not that the Republicans were faring all that well with the press. Mitt Romney’s news coverage “vacillated between mixed and unflattering,” depending on whether he was winning primaries, the report says. “He was constantly dealing with this meme of not being able to close the deal,” Jurkowitz says.
               
               Overall, it was no contest. From Jan. 2 through April 15, Romney’s coverage was 39 percent positive, 32 percent negative, and 29 percent neutral, the researchers found. Obama’s coverage was 18 percent positive, 34 percent negative, and 34 percent neutral. That means Romney’s depiction by the media was more than twice as positive as the president’s. So much for liberal bias."

   The family left the US after it was deemed poligamy illegal to Mexico. Then with the onset of the Mexican Revolution the family came back to the US. The Army provided tents and food for the refuges, while Congress voted to give each refugee $100,000.00 for relocating back to the US. Later Mexico awarded them $2.65 per $100.00 which is what the Romney's used to purchase their home in Utah. I want to know where the line forms to get my $100,000.00! lol So they amassed their fortune with a legup from Congress.

      So, were the Romneys the only ones to get the money, or did all refugees receive it? Or as LMC implied, did only Republican refugees get the money? Is this Mitt's fault? You know how the Kennedys made their money, right? At least the Romney money sounds like it was legal. But like you, I'd like to get it!

      The only article I can find on this states that the 2,300 refugees SHARED the $100,000 allocated by Congress. Each one didn't get $100,000. Apparently, it was Mitt's great-grandfather who got the money - or was it Mitt's grandfather?

         Apparently his grandfather got it and all the refugees. And I'd have to go back but all got the 100 grand. But even if 10 thousand, back then it was a whole lot of money. Illegal acts, felony, leave country and rewarded.Then they all got money from Mexico. It just show's it wasn't "earned money that got them started". It was more like an entitlement which he's against. Apparently our relatives weren't entitled! lol  Kennedys made their money thru the mafia.

       Well if that's to be considered, then consider Romneys grandfather leaving for mexico, as a felon and loss of citizenship. But when he returned, all was dropped and rewarded with Congress bonus of money. Had the charges not been dropped, mitt's dad would have been a mexican citizen, and mitt as well. Just for argument sake! To still be on the birth cert is just ridiculous.

             Either way, seems one needs to be an immigrant to get ahead in this country. I don't know about your family members, but mine were'nt given any legup in the form of cash to start out here. No silver spoon in my mouth, just hard work. Whether it be 10 or 100 thousand, that was like being a millionaire back then. No wonder they're rich today. So his stand on his forefathers having it so rough just went out the window.

                The $100,000 Congressional fund was divided among 2,300 refugees. That's about $48 each.
                
                Our government still gives cash and low interest loans to immigrants and refugees, through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. I don't think these were in place in the 1600s, when my first Kilpatrick ancestor arrived in Virginia from Scotland. lol. Think I could get it now??

    Bottom line is this entitlement stance by one party or the other is bull. People from both parties use entitlements. Whether it be social security, medicare, medicaid, government paid jobs, disability and so on. So both parties need to get off the topics of diversion and start discussing "HOW they plan to create jobs, insure all, and strengthen the economy".

       I totally agree. You summed up all of many peoples frustration.The American people are being played for patsies while politicians revert to he done this,said that, was born there, stole this, is racial, is homophobe, hates women, likes women too much. Let me hear one say ...look, I know this will cause me to loose a large part of my base, but I know that history will prove me right for doing what is good and right for the country. The finest auditors in the world has been gathered to address every aspect of our economy from entitlements to income tax code. Their findings and recommendations will be relayed to me personally and televised on cspan. Once Given they will be immediately signed into law by executive order. Furthermore As POTUS, I have signed into law that all lobbyist and special interest are barred from capitol hill, and it is now a federal offense for any member of congress to negotiate with anyone representing any interest other than the interest of his constituents, which will be voiced to them via mandatory scheduled town hall meetings. All members of congress and their immediate families having acquired substantial wealth above their congressional salaries shall be made to account for said income then and for 5 yrs after leaving congress.  Lastly any member of congress will not be allowed to publicly denounce, or present allegations against any other member of congress, or to make allegations pertaining to race, religious belief, ethnicity or any other language that may cause division within the American public.

       It's really just tit for tat, the POTUS still appointed members to his cabinet by executive order, behind closed doors, bypassing congress, so he gets his way in the end. Nobody will undermine the POTUS. He's the most powerful man on the planet Ya'll. Stop playing him for the victim, and make him give us some relevant leadership. He's got to have something to define his presidency. There has to be a New Deal, A Cuban Missle Crisis, A Tear Down This Wall, somewhere in this POTUS. I'll Settle for a Billy Beer for chrisake. Has the POTUS been shady? Ofcourse, Has the GOP been shady? Ofcourse. Now that thats out of the way, what's the POTUS offering us right now to turn the tide of this economic snowball headed to hell?
