  Everyone should get to know political leaders. Not just the ones in their country and area, but the world. It's only good to expand your knowledge of the world. It leads to better understanding and can only benefit you in the long run.
  
  Romney or Obama... I think I'll stick with a write-in of Audrey Dyment. But odds are, Obama will win because of his popularity. Romney doesn't have that strong of a fan base.

  Not a chance. He has done nothing to better the country, he constantly casts blame for his own short comings, he has hired incompetent czars, (some were even communists), he has no plan to stop the debt crisis, all of his economics proposals have been unanimously shot down by congress, and to top it off he wants to impose socialized medicine on us to add more problems to our crushing debt.
  
  He goes around the world apologizing and bowing to foreign leaders, job growth in America is at an all time low, and all he seems to be doing is promoting class warfare. The list of failures is stupendous, NDAA, the patriot act, Solyndra, etc.

  Actually I watch all the news stations and come to my own conclusions, not brainswashed by any one or more news channels. So you're comfortable voting for Romneh, knowing he will most likely impliment the Ryan Plan? I keep hearing how's he's going to create jobs, but his track record as governor was terrible at best. If you believe in Trickle down, by all means vote Romney.

  I would prefer to see the job go to a guy who doesn't plan on sinking the nation into deeper more crushing debt.
  And although his job creation record wasn't stupendous he did add two jobs for every person who migrated into the state, and the unemployment rate went down from 5.6 to 4.7 percent, whereas Obama is officially the welfare president.
  
  The philosophies of the current administrations policies are racking up trillions of unfunded and unfundable obligations to the nanny state that can never be paid off. And instead of providing a savings and payment plan they, along with congress, provide an orgy of additional spending that will be looked on by historians as the equivalent of a drunken orgy by desperately terrified, gutless libertens in the back room of a ship sinking in dark and icy waters.
  
  I'm sorry but I am unwilling to give up my freedom to a group of elitist, race baiting, dependency mongering, liberal hacks who guilted the country into voting for them using identity politics.

  Anyone would have to be insane to want to come to Europe in the present climate, truly. And as for Obama, his economic policies are being looked upon as a model for growth by sensible European politicians. They've tried austerity, which of course always goes hand in hand with a tax break for the richest and look what happens; stagnant economy, no growth and more austerity, then a bit more austerity...wait a minute, we need more austerity. It's like a permanent ground hog day scenario. If I was an American I'd definitely vote for Obama. If you people end up with Romney you'll be trying to survive in the US version of Greece.

  Really Socialist Europe is thriving??? I guess you have not heard of the crisis they are going through. Our treasury secretary just flew to Europe to see what can be done, most of Europe was down graded by the rating agencies...even France!
  
  Why are all major companies not in Europe? Is it because they tax too much? why India or China? can it be because they let the companies keep more of what they earn? Yes it is because in most of Europe they take 70% of your earning! the same reason many companies are leaving here for India and China also Mexico. Regulations are also another reason for leaving or not starting a business.
  
  If regulations and taxes were lower more jobs would be available and less people would be on assistance and more taxes would be collected but greedy politicians have to put more regulations and taxes and drive everyone away!

  Josakposted 11 years agoin reply to this
  Well let's deal with this logically firstly it is necessary for my conscience to point out that there are no socialist countries in Europe and only one communist one (Belarus) France just elected a socialist president but France is not yet socialist and probably won't actually be in his term (socialism being defined as the government owning the means of production) however the most leftist countries in Europe are yes the ones doing best. Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Iceland etc. The only currently successful major European country that does not fit into that is Germany that is not quite as far to the left but certainly miles further to the left than Obama.
  
  So if you wish to define the leftist governments as socialist yes they are thriving compared to the US and the rest of Europe.
  
  Also as a business owner I disagree with all your assertions.

Romney and Republicans stand for prosperity and conservatism. Once we have prosperity, we will be able to help the other causes better. Not by taxing more. Conservatism will stop, or at list slow down, the downward road to lack of morality and corruption.

Read the Ryan Plan and get back with me about Romneys plan. Romney claims to be the business man with a plan? His track record back when running for governor was 10,000 jobs created, 47th in the country. Now using his same math it went from 10,000 to 100,000 or so Romney says. He's not a job creator he's a job destroyer with one direction in mind, make more money for the investors at the expense of the worker and the taxpayer picking up the tab for all those jobs lost.

  Changes in debt by political affiliation [source: Wikipedia]
  
  The President proposes the budget for the government to the US Congress. Congress may change the budget, but it rarely appropriates more than what the President requests.
  
  Economist Mike Kimel notes that the five former Democratic Presidents (Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy, and Harry S. Truman) all reduced public debt as a share of GDP, while the last four Republican Presidents (George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford) all oversaw an increase in the country's indebtedness.
  
  Economic historian J. Bradford DeLong, former Clinton Treasury Department official, observes a contrast not so much between Republicans and Democrats, but between Democrats and "old-style Republicans (Eisenhower and Nixon)" on one hand (decreasing debt), and "new-style Republicans" on the other (increasing debt).
  
  David Stockman, director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan, as op-ed contributor to the New York Times, blamed the "ideological tax-cutters" of the Reagan administration for the increase of national debt during the 1980s.
  
  Bruce Bartlett, former domestic policy adviser to President Ronald Reagan and Treasury official under President George H.W. Bush, attributes the increase in the national debt since the 1980s to the policy of "starve the beast".
  
  While noting that that George H.W. Bush's budget deal was one of the main reasons for improvement in fiscal situation in 1990s and ultimately for budget surplus, Bartlett is highly critical of George W. Bush for creating budget deficits by reducing taxes and increasing spending.
  
  AV, take particular note of "Federal spending, federal debt, and GDP"

He will attack and attack and attack because he has very little to show for all his massive spending and lack of leadership. He is owned by the chicago mob and he fights just as dirty as they do. He has no real character, he is truly just another empty suit. Look at his record. Look at what he promised when he was running for his first term. If you have your eyes open and are willing to see him for what he really is, you will not walk, you will run to your polling booth and vote against him.

I'm today reminded of a John and Yoko song: War is over if you want it......

No more war in Afghanistan either. No more war in Iraq.

And unless you want war with Iran....you'd better vote Obama!

Politics aside, the bottom line is that the U.S. is a major corporation and we are all the shareholders. If the CEO is not doing a good job, using the position for self promotion, throwing away the company money, and failing to represent the company around the world in a positive light, he (or she) needs replaced.

  That's utterly simplistic and rash thinking.
  
  It's like blaming a new sea captain who has been given a neglected ship after it's been capsized by a Tsunami—the boat is still afloat and he's given orders to a mutinous crew to make repairs in a becalmed sea. The crew needs to be thrown over the side and a better one voted in come Fall!
  
  Besides, a country isn't a corporation— a corporation is a business and a country is not a business.
  
  No wonder America is going to hell in a hand-basket—its citizens are no longer capable of critical thinking—they can only criticize because they're afraid, angry and unaware of the facts!

  Yes, it is simplistic. Those in power are given the enormous responsibility of taking the taxpayer's money and investing it for the common good, something that this administration is totally ignorant of. There are a lot of us doing a hell or a lot of critical thinking, unfortunately, those who are locked into the promises and unrealistic expectations brought on by liberal hogwash are locked out of any intelligent conversation on the subject.

  Sadly, gonya, you prove my point. Obama has indeed tried to invest in our country with all kinds of infrastructure bills that a Tea Party Congress has blocked for the last two years.
  
  Instead of epithets and opinions that parrot Fox Propaganda, why don't you come up with some factual rebuttals that disprove the fact that we have an obstructionist bunch of Republicans who are out to demonize a hardworking president who is trying to do what many past and honest Republican's once agreed to.

  If you want facts, you don't need to watch the news. Look around you. I could, and have researched facts, but the right already knows them and the left couldn't care less. All Americans want what's best for the country. And, if I wasn't one of the those scary conservatives I'd complete the old expression as to what opinions are like, and that everyone has one. Proud that in this country we can still feel free to voice those opinions, and in the long run, that is what we are all fighting for, (well, that and some good old fashioned common courtesy and decency). Good luck with your fight. God bless.

  I guess you would rather rely on The Blaze or Fox News? The New York Times while it is editorially connected to the Democratic party is still one of the most respected newspapers in the world. A paper does not show it's fairness by only having negative stories about the president, and the New York Times has. Funny when some conservatives complain about the bias of the New York Times but link to articles that are not positive from the same paper.
  
  It is an interview with a Nobel Prize winning economist...they don't give those out for no reason.

To anyone that doesn't appreciate Obama:

We'll trade you Harper for Obama. We'll even throw in McGinty-two for one but you're really getting the raw end of the deal. I really wish that we had a politician like Obama here in Canada. We already have the healthcare-making his job a little easier. Harper and McGinty are in the process of undermining our unions and they're all for the wealthy. When Harper came into power our country had a surplus. Now that he's created a deficit, he wants the average citizen to pay for it and some of his ways for accomplishing this is by eliminating jobs, attacking the teaching profession and special education programs, etc. When Obama came into power, Bush had created a mess for your country. Obama has worked hard for the average citizen-he's tried to give you healthcare (read some of the stats for the life expectancy, etc. for the people of your country compared to other countries-it's a crime considering the fact that you're one of the richest countries in the world). Obama also wants the rich in your country to give a little back in order to create jobs for the poor and the middle classes. As stated, (in Canada) Harper is doing the opposite-he wants to take from the poor and middle classes in order to keep the rich in tack. If you elect Romney, you'll be in the same boat as we are with Harper. Then again, perhaps we could persuade Obama to come to Canada and run for office.

  There are a growing number of Americans who would gladly and willingly give you Obama in a New York Minute. However, you must understand, Obama's ideology and style of governing is more suited for places like Venezuela, Cuba, or North Korea where they have dictators rather than elected presidents or prime ministers.
  
  That being said, I'm one American who would be happy to let you have Barack Hussein Obama ASAP.

Some are either misinformed or in denial! Here's a few examples of why you "Should like what you call Obamacare!"
1. You will have coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions.
2. Your insuror can't drop you if you get sick.
3. Your policy WILL NOT have a "Lifetime Cap."
4. Children can stay on their parents plan until age 26.
5. You will get a rebate if your insurance company doesn't spend at least 80% of your premiums on actual care.

I can go on and on about additional medicare and medicaid and the like benefits, but hopefully you get the idea now!
