Yesss!! And be Happy Know quality when you see it. We dealt with shhht and inequality for decades. Be pleases to deal with someone that's moving America forward. Mitt Romney Roni sure wasn't it. That's why he is not president.

Do you think we'll continue to exist as a nation for 4 more years? With the crime rate rising every day, no jobs, everything imported how long will we be able to continue at the present rate? It doesn't look promising at all. This man will certainly have his hands full if he tries to deal with all this. If he tries.

LOL, please see a psychiatrist, Al Day. Crime's going up? The nation will cease to exist? How many tin foil hats do you own?

You my have kicked your own butt.

Dow futures slumped 110 points to 13090, S&P 500 futures slipped 8.8 points to 1417 and Nasdaq 100 futures dipped 10.5 points to 2665. (Stock market this morning)

Nice start for the president. Wait until the military downsize starts.

What are you going to do when the checks dry up and the recession starts.

Buzz, we will have this discussion in 6 months. A single day's results a trend is not created. Like saying today's forecast of snow means a blizzard is on the way.

The Republicans tried to pin a bad economy on the President and almost succeeded.

And yes, the military needs downsized. I am tired of paying for troops in Europe, Japan and Korea while those companies sell goods and make profits off us.

Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." He warned us, except that the "potential" is now here.

Buzz, get a life. Cherry-picking the PRE MARKET trading of 1 index on 1 day proves something to you??? How about look at FOUR YEARS: the stock market rising more under Obama's stewardship than under any president EVER. Up, what, 75% since Obama took office? What a troll.

Yess!!!

Yess! President Obama is not a one side president he wants equality for all. Unlike the presidents of old. People need to stay awake. If you put up with all the negativity for all those year and now you want to ask the question about 4 more years, yes 4 more years toward cleaning up the shhhht that all the other presidents made.if they were doing so much why is the economy the way it is. it didn't get this way in the last 4 years, its been like this for almost a decade and some. Good post Honeygo.

Keep moving forward! Move forward with a real plan for access to health care, education and a secure retirement! Move forward with an administration who will work for all of us -- 100%.
I'm a proud and happy citizen this morning.

Re: Al Day
"The year 2010 was overall the most free of serious crime in almost forty years. The recent overall decrease spans all types of such crime, with violent and property crimes having reached an all-time low. The homicide rate in particular decreased 51% between its record high point in 1991 and 2010"

The crime rate is clearly not going up.

Deficit at an astronomical point and increasing faster than a Mexican can cross the border. The jobs outlook in this country worse than at any time since the great depression. The housing market sitting on foreclosures as far as the eye can see. And the government subsidized mental midgets that get to vote made sure there were NO changes to our leadership! Moving America forward! HA! Who will you idiots blame 4 years from now!

Well one thing is for sure Jag has the financial IQ of a turnip. It is obvious Jag does not understand equity markets. Obama has greatly assisted precious metal investors thanks to his irresponsible fiscal bailouts and unlimited quantitative easing initiated by his friends at the federal reserve. Thank God Obama was reelected! The next four years will offer exponential wealth building opportunities for anyone who understands what is happening. For the rest of the financially clueless, good luck you're going to need it.

Shawn, then quit being financially clueless. I'm not going to apologize for the size and gains my (and millions of other) brokerage accounts have seen under Obama.

Jag,

You are aware that our dollar is losing the value the faster the government prints more money, and the companies out there could be over valuing their stocks to make up for lost value of the dollar which could explain the fact that stock market has been "positive" mean while many of those same companies are not hiring new employees, because they simply cannot afford it.

I have found in the past people who feel the need to brag about "the size of their portfolio and their gains" have no portfolio at all. You have already expressed your ignorance concerning the equity markets. There is no need to continue to discredit your lack of financial IQ any further. After all Jag it's your story tell it how you like.

Shawn, if you knew what made the markets move you should would not be posting on the Patch. Talk about clueless.

FIFA, I never stated anything about knowing what moves the markets. I post on the patch simply for the joy of debating. That said to debate takes a minimum of another intelligent poster. Unfortunately as you and jag have proven, finding another intelligent poster can be difficult here on the patch. Cheers

Trapping liars, like you, is always fun, I enjoy it, I do have a substantial portfolio but that is my business. Anonymity is a good thing. But for the record, you said:

"Obama has greatly assisted precious metal investors thanks to his irresponsible fiscal bailouts and unlimited quantitative easing initiated by his friends at the federal reserve." This indicates you believe you know what moved the market as it relates to precious metal investors.

Although I may agree with you that there are many fools and ignorant people that post on the Patch, beware, I am not one of those.

"the companies out there could be over valuing their stocks to make up for lost value of the dollar which could explain the fact that stock market has been 'positive'"

Oh my lord in heaven. Could we get some financial literacy up in here, please?

FIFA again the need to brag about your "substantial portfolio" is a dead giveaway you're pretending to be something you're not. But hey on the internet you can pretend to be whoever you want to be. To be more blunt (so it's easier for you to understand) liar, liar pants on fire.

Once a fool, always a fool apparently. "Dead giveaway", you must be practiced at lying, oh that's right, I already proved that in your case.

Al Day, that is a lie. The crime rate has not gone up anymore than it usually does in a recession/time of economic troubles.

I doubt the Lord had anything at all to do with this man.

Oh Al Day :) Why yes he did! You should get to know HIM by the way. God Bless you!

AMEN!!!!! This country and the world is very fortunate!

Ditto to that! All of us who support President Obama are so very blessed and happy. Eventually, those who don't, will hopefully see the folly of their ways and hatred.

By morning Obama will likely be ahead in the popular vote - California is not in yet, and other states have more returns straggling in.

Republicans are typically negative-minded - it looks like you fit right in.

Every time there is a debt discussion the GOP talks about leaving nothing for the kids. It happened in the '70s & '80s, too. Yes it's something to be addressed, but not to the degree the GOP would have you believe.

Sleep on it - the world is not ending.

"And with less than a majority of the popular vote."

Completely false.

"the chinese who now loan us all our money."

Completely false.

Thanks for playing, though.

This is about earlier comments you made--couldn't find a reply option. As noted before, crime is down. Obama did win the popular vote. And did you notice the recession we just had? I don't want to be hateful (hate "enemies," hate immigrants, hate uppity women, hate blacks and Hispanics and foreigners, hate divorcees, hate gay people, etc.) like the Tea Party, but I think if we weren't born yesterday, we know the mess we're in is a Republican mess. 70% of our national economy is ordinary people (the 99%) shopping, and if you take all the money from them and give it to the rich, who don't spend it in OUR economy, as has been happening since 1970, you get the recession we just had. Great books by Bob Reich, Paul Krugman, and others show us how we got into this mess. I think you should be less aggressive and also should be more rigorous about the facts.

...of the Republican Party. Seriously. They need to get their act together, because they will never win the Presidency with the wingnuts calling the shots.

I totally agree with you, today the US has changed just as Obama Promised he would. Nation full of brainwashed people and media bias.

Totally agree! If anyone thinks that Obama "won" something they are delusional.This election was not a mandate on Obama. It was just the Gimmes wanting more of our hard earned money. Well are you going to do when all the money is gone and their are no JOBS for you?

Agree 100%. Obama has cashed in on the fact that his fan club are morons. He is a pop star and no leader. Glad my house is paid for and I have my nest ready for retirement - good luck 47% club. Hope your boy takes good care of you.

I'm proud of this country and, forgive me for saying so, we look less idiotic to the rest of the world and also to ourselves. Why express all this hatred? Why do you FEEL all this hatred, or is it just the way you express yourself. In my experience, people in this area are MORE civilized, more gentle, more kind than other people I've lived around. Do you act this way in public?

Somewhere there is a country frantically searching for its missing idiot. Please turn yourself in.

It's still the Free State - obviously, based on you being allowed to freely post ugly rants.

Need help packing? Where are you moving to?

We really need to keep screen shots of all of these doom and gloom predictions people are posting, so we can make them eat their words when none of it comes to pass.

job creation is going up; unemployment rate going down. Just not as quickly as one would like. at this rate, we will be in a better place in 4 years

Why did the deficit go up? You always do deficit spending in wars and in recessions--nobody but government has any money to spend to get things going again. AND who left the need for all this deficit spending; who created the wars and recession? Unemployment is falling, actually. We're in the soup, but Obama's actions are pulling us out of it.

My! My! Aren't we the sore loser? FACE it!!! Your pick, Romney, the man with no thoughts of his own, LOST BIG TIME. Get over it, and support our wonderful President, who represents what this country has now become. YOU ARE SO OUT OF TOUCH. Until you right wingers really change your hearts and souls, you will become a MINOR PARTY. Grow up and take your defeat as a lesson.

Make that $11 after MD tacks on another $1 tax to pay for the sweet deal O'Malley has offered up to the casino owners that will be funding his presidential bid.

I love it. Guy driving bus takes you into hell, then he gets off the bus, gives the keys to the new bus driver and now you blame the new driver for driving you around in hell? Wow.

So I say to you Lisa - WTF I thought you were going to start using your brain when you post. Cry me a river and ride off into your life of lunacy! D.B.

A crank.

You are an idiot.

Hanging onto anything you can, eh? I'll see your 4 and raise you ALL those that died in IRAQ thanks to that lie.

I bet your head exploded when while watching Fox 'news' at 11:13 they called the election...

I just loved the confused looks. You could read their faces... Wait, WAIT!!! Didn't we just spend the last 2 years predicting a landslide? That the polls were rigged?

Think anybody will be stupid enough to give Karl Rove another 300 mil? I sure hope not...

Funny...

You are right. You need to move to another country, quickly.

Why would you think that? This is the same country that elected Bush, the idiots pres of all times. Oh -wait-the country has changed and gotten smarter since then. Hence,
we elected President Obama. YIPPEE!

Rob, please don't hurt yourself by thinking. It only uses up the brain cells you require to function on a daily basis. Let those of us who are capable of thinking beyond which foot is the right foot do the hard work. Just go sit down and let us know when you are ready to put your shoes on.

Work hard and pay your taxes. You have little else to offer.

Amen ! Let's hope for a speedy 4 years...I for one will be watching every move He makes ( as I've done the past 4 years) and counting the lies He has told over & over again. You can't change peoples minds when, it's a popularity contest but...when He doesn't deliver what these people want...We can all say...I told you so...next President please !

Funny, we were saying that several years ago about you republicans and your misguided votes for Bush. And look, the Sun came up the next day every time. So quit acting the village idiot.

Work hard~ pay taxes~ teach your children that the world ain't fair~ and your government seems to be the enforcer of this cycle.......odd.

1ke it's a good thing folks like me work hard and pay taxes so the 47% club can spend my money - wish the folks wearing out their Independence card at Giant would at least say thanks while I wait for them to get off their phone and "pay" the cashier.

IF Obama was black (and he isn't, he's of mixed race with a very white mother), then I could see making this about race. It isn't. It's about the fact that there are two parties in this country, both of whom are so extreme that this election was about choosing the lesser of TWO evils. My life is not better off than it was four years ago and I don't think that it will be now, that's for sure. However, I also don't believe that Romney would have made it better either. That's why I don't subscribe to either party. I think for myself.

I would tend to agree with you PerryHallParent..

Really? I could care less what color a person is. It's what comes out of there mouth that bothers me and the actions that follow it. Only question I have for obama is who is he going to blame after this term?

PHP, why do you have this necessity to bring up Obama's heritage at every turn?

Nobody is judging him because he's black you fool - we are pissed off because so many people voted for him for that reason alone. Do you really think a middle aged white dude with his track record would have scored all those black votes? Who are the real racists?

JD1 you are an idiot, how many more votes did Obama get the Kerry or Gore as you describe?

FIFA - "idiot"? Thought you were taking the high ground? Kerry and Gore weren't incumbents running on a pathetic record. You missed the point completely. Sorry if it was over your head.

JD1, things fly over your head all the time, it's that sand in your eyes, ears and teeth that affects you. You don't know much about anything. Except where Obama was born perhaps? Got a little Trump in you or do you just hate Kenyan Usurper Hawaiian Devil Babies?

They're all in Balled-upSurfers basement. Uncle Ernie is leading a "memorial" service. Area store shelves will be out of Preparation H by lunch time.

What's YOUR favorite cheese?

My favorite cheese~ "Of course it's part of the plan"~ sliced thin...

Well, at least we will know when you are in the vicinity.

Being a true Republican, you understand about pulling one's self up by the bootstraps, taking personal responsibility, job creators and small businesses being the back bone of America.

You will do just fine.

You should have left it as a one-liner.

Have some cheese with that.

Joe, the candidates are just the front men. I understand that guys like you and me are the ones who really run things.

Hey, take a day off from the venom, buddy.

I'm right there with you Joe. Why should I pay for my iPhone when I can get the ObamaPhone for free? Joining the 47%.

My prediction is that this will be the last election in our lifetime. Welcome Comrade Obama.

Especially in MD. Though the law changes for our next election (how convenient) that the eletorial votes for president are determined by 2 precincts, PG and Baltimore counties.

hawkeye - maybe for you - perhaps you should pre-plan your funeral now. We will miss you in 2016.

I'll bet breakfast at the Koch Brothers' is a little tense, too.

It's remarkable how dumb a campaign they ran. It's as if they went out of their way to alienate anyone who didn't fall into the uneducated, white, rural, male stereotypical Republican voter. I'd love to be able to consider voting for a Republican at some point, but so long as they play for the highly medicated (or should be highly medicated) "THE WORLD IS ENDING IF YOU LET THIS COMMUNIST WIN!" crowd....uh, no thanks.

Jag: Exactly.

New Rule 16 that was effected at the Republican Convention had a huge and truthful impact on many informed voters in my opinion...

The world is a Vampire...

No matter what they said, they were always playing to the base. There was no genuine attempt to attract other voters, and many examples of turning those voters against Romney.

They will NEVER get the White House if they let the wingnuts call the shots.

Agreed, Hal. And because I believe in checks and balances, I really do hope the GOP sees this as a wake up call and gets its house in order. The "old guard" Republicans need to reclaim their party from the extremists who've taken over.

How dumb can one person be? Since 1929 when a Republican has been President the average annual price change of equities has been less than 0%. In the same period when a Democrat has been President the average has been 7%.

The market is going to skyrocket.

Quiz for Buzz. Who is the single largest holder of the 16 Trillion dollar debt?

You can't get unemployment benefits if you quit. Get them to lay you off then you will be eligible. Better yet, get a job with a huge company and fake a workman's comp injury. Or you can quit your job and live off of foodstamps, and after a year or two qualify for medicaid after you lie about not be able to get a job. It's pretty simple and fun - good luck.

And you will lose your entitlements. I'm set for life so I can sit back and say I told you so.

Look at the market. A great note on your win Mr. President.

Where was Obama instead of dealing with the disaster. Playing basketball!

Love this post.

Buzz, the comment about Obama taking a day off of "work" to relax and play basketball is unfair. You know he was still working. He still had to run a country while running for reelection unlike Romney and the 535 members of Congress.

Sonia Dasgupta, I believe most of the comments made on this site should be flagged. It appears some writers are very immature (maybe even young folks). They are making very unintelligent remarks. I don't have time to spent flagging them all, but I do agree with you.
We all need to pay attention to what happens to our country for our future generation. If Obama can make it better, I will be happy. I voted for Mitt Romney. Obama will need a lot of help. It will be no easy job. I didn't see how the President pulled Congress together the last four years. There are reasons the Republicans played hardball. Let's see what happens the next four years. The election is over and if we want change we need to work for it. We are a democracy. I accept the results.

If Republicans thought Rand Paul could have gotten elected, he would have been the nominee instead of Romney. Fact is Romney was the most viable candidate for the the Republican party - and he got really close.

I understand that he had no shot this time around. He is young and will have more experience by 2016. He has already published himself and needs time to be heard. Fact is that the Republican party is losing favor with the ever changing voting base and some of the neocon ideals must be eradicated from the party.

I totally agree, Frank.
Problem is, this country needs a lot of change, more then it's comfortable with.

Although I still hold, to this day, that Jon Huntsman would have defeated Barack Obama. He just wasn't willing to be 'crazy' enough to please the rabid Tea party during the vetting process.

If the republicans nominate Rand Paul, you will lose again. His social views make Paul Ryan look like a liberal.

Given the chance, I might have been able to vote for Huntsman. He actually made sense when he spoke.

Following Republican tradition, it is Rick Santorum time for 2016!

"His social views make Paul Ryan look liberal."
I highly doubt you are well informed of his views, but at least he does not ry to enforce controversial 50/50 issues on the entire nation. For instance he opposed to same-sex marriage, but wants to delegate marriage laws entirely to the states without interfering. Nothing wrong with that even if you disagree with his personal stance.

LOL Rand Paul?? He is nuttier than his Old Man.

Frank, sorry, I am well informed of his views. Nominate him and you will lose again. No question about. The mainstream Republican party will never allow a Tea Party favorite to be their nominee. Move farther to the right and you will lose more elections. I would think you learned that this time. Guess not.

I'm no fan of Obama, but remember that he had little to do with the do with the deficit - it was mostly created by Bush's man Bernanke. He is the one who has been buying federal debt with imaginary (counterfeit) bucks he creates out of thin air.

When the apathetic majority begin to wake up....that's when the upheavel you speak of will begin...those human beings have not payed attention to educate themselves as to the ways of government will have no other option to draw from. Control is more the issue to speak of..

Buzz, you are being extraordinarily unfair for pinning the debt increase (you misspoke I believe) on Obama. The deficit was 1.2 Trillion on inauguration day and to imagine anyone making that disappear is unrealistic and I believe you know that.

Your graciousness is appreciated.

Regarding your point, that we can agree on. They (all of them) need to learn how to work at least 5 days a week and get something done. Taking off work for two month to go get re-elected is sick.

Eastsider: Here's something we can probably all agree on. There's lots of blame to go around. Heck, Bachman, one of the top crazies in the Tea Party, BARELY won re-election. Akin got beat. Paul Ryan was re-elected but his district also voted for Obama at the same time, not Romney.

The Norquist Pledge needs to go. it's a nice idea if your nation's debt to GDP ratio isn't over 100%. Meanwhile, 'true liberals' need to accept Obama's idea of balancing the budget based on a premise of 2.5 to 1 ratio of cuts to taxes, and NO, increasing revenue does NOT mean you spend it. It goes towards balancing the budget and nothing more. That's still talking about a resolution that's 71% spending cuts.

Would doing this hurt the economy? Absolutely - for a while. Reality is, as a nation we've had it too easy for too long. It's time to pull together and - seriously - start chipping away at the debt we're leaving the generations ahead. It won't be easy, but I feel like it's time to pay for our collective fiscal mistakes, and get that deficit down to about half of what it is over the next 20 years.

Thanks.

Progress (not necessarily as in the keyword for the left) is what we need. Compromise is how we get there.

Glad you mentioned Congress! Neither Obama, nor Romney would have a chance to accomplish anything with a Congress as divided as either the old one or the new one is. The lords and ladies of wealth prevail on their Republican satraps to push the National Debt over onto the heads of the serfdom, but we are swiftly approaching the "fiscal cliff", and unless they give a little, everyone is going over like a pack of lemmings! It'll be great for the tax preparers, though.

How do you recommend that the President or even the Republican Party deal with the rising tide of fascist ideology and untenable economics embodied by the Tea Party?

I reckon you are a decent enough guy, Eastsider, too vested in the mythical power of the President.

What do we talk about now?

Buzz, Mr. Obama inherited the (then) highest deficit in history from Mr. Bush's 8 years. And the Congress (Dem and Rep, alike) just kept demanding more! And Mr .Bernanke keeps accomodating them with imaginary bucks. Where am I wrong in that?

Amen to that!

Agreed. Biggest thing that hurt Romney was that the idiot didn't know when to keep his mouth shut and lambaste his own part on those statements about forcible rape and other things.
It did not help that he came out as supporting those positions and/or his friends came out with recollections of him supporting those positions in the past.

I think the Republicans should have the same platform as the Dems to win office. When they get into office, do what they want. It's the American Way. LOL

Don't let the door hit you on the way out and try laying off the pot so that you have some REALITY in your viewpoint.

Buzz, the problem is that he HAS fixed everything except the jobs situation. Period and done with, he has fixed the economy save for jobs.

That is out of his hands and out of Congress's hands (unless they are willing to start DIScouraging outsourcing). It also didn't help that the corporations and rich had a plan to make Obama look bad by not hiring and making their workers do the work of 2 or 3 people.

Promises are cheap - everyone makes promises they suspect they can't keep. And all politicians lie thru their teeth. Romney made a lot of promises - if he'd been elected we'd soon be asking when he was going to do what he said, and he'd be hemming and hawing just like Obama. HA!!

Buzz, we are not in a hole at all in anything but the jobs situation, which was and probably will still be manipulated by big companies outsourcing overseas in order to make the Democrats and Obama look bad.

They had a PLAN to make Obama a one-term President by manipulating the job numbers. Thankfully, the American people saw through that plan and voted Obama back into office anyway.
Now, Obama just has to find the right way to steamroller over Republican objections and get some laws PENALIZING companies for outsourcing to countries that don't have at least equal environmental protection laws to the United States, unless those companies adhere to American environmental protection standards even overseas.

I'm with you Mary, if you can't beat them join them, I'm sure there are some Obama handouts available I can make myself qualify for, food and the cell phone bill keep going up so i'm going to start with them first. I would definitely pull your money from the market in this country, surprisingly enough China's is up today so that's likely a better place for it. On the charitable contributions I was thinking the same thing this morning, I already donate to charity via my taxes so sorry Red Cross and United Way but the Government beat you to my wallett.

Right in one. It's a known historical fact, the numbers (linked from federal websites) are easily available on Wikipedia.

False. Once you take into account Blue Dogs and DINO's, the Democrats never had control of the House nor the Senate.

It's also extremely hard to get a Democrat to vote in 'lockstep' with the party while it is infinitely easier to get a Republican to do that.

You're kidding yourself if you think Romney's "plan" would lower the deficit faster than Obama's. "Tax cuts for everyone, oh, and increase defense spending a couple trillion. Don't worry, I'll find a magical, unnamed loophole to close and that'll make up for the 7 TRILLION in increased spending I'm proposing!" You're surprised the electorate didn't buy that crap?

G-Man, need we keep reminding you: Nearly 90% of that debt is due to George W. Bush Jr.'s two wars, from Presidents dating back to Reagan, and from unfunded mandates left by George W. Bush Jr. when he left office.

The 'debt' that Obama had the nation take on was done by BIPARTISAN votes for things such as the bailout of GM and other companies.

Agreed, Cynthia. I have some relatives on welfare and it is nowhere near being like it was in the 1980's. In order to draw welfare you have to work wherever they can get you a job or be sending out massive numbers of job applications every month, just like with unemployment.

You are also right about the corporate welfare. With 2/3rds of companies (even huge multinational companies with billion dollar profits) not paying any taxes or even getting money back from the federal government while their employees are on the social assistance programs..... we have a serious problem today.

To many conservatives however think that they will someday 'be rich' if they keep working themselves to exhaustion for their employer when the truth is that they will never be rich and they are being taken advantage of by their employer most times.

Cynthia please explain "Affrodable" in my opinion that means someone can afford their monthly payments. Insurance companies can still raise your Premiums as they please. Someone now who makes $30,000 a yr is paying the same as someone making $100,000 a yr. What about the self employed and small biz owners? My insurance agent said by 2014 nobody will be able to afford Health Insurance. A cap needs to be put on Lawsuites I believe that is the majority of the health care cost besides working folks of course paying for the nonworking. I hate the fact that we have to choose between a mortgage, car payment, light bill or Health Insurance....don't try to tell me there different plans becaue they don't cover squat. Since there are so many "Arm Chair Quarterbacks" here any suggestions or opinions...I know there are. Thanks.

There is no Santa, Buzz. You know that. A subsistence wage, every penny of which gets spent and recirculated throughout the economy, is no great gift. Nobody who makes policy or influences policy gives a hoot where money comes from.

Welfare, unemployment insurance, and subsidized health care all are efforts to mollify the negative effects of structural unemployment on GNP and to keep people in the greatest country in the world from triggering bread riots.

Glad you got yours, Buzz, and no need to worry.

Straight from Rush,s lips to you, Buzz?

Sorry, Buzz, I don't believe in Santa, gods or other myths, pretty as they are. The Dems, unfortunately, exist, as do the Reps, unfortunately.

Chuck, so does the debt, deficit, unemployment, the finical cliff, a dead ambassador a global slowdown and a recession.

Gee, thanks for that mental image...

Number one I never thought Romney could win because he ran a bad campaign or could win with Obama giving all the goodies away to those who live off the government.

Number two the congratulations card from the market was 300 points down which means we may be on the way to a recession.

Over 80% of immigrants are from the South America and are poor and illiterate. Like you it's "Rush's" not "Rush,s." I guess that is why i see many comments that refer to you in a negative way.

Was it Boeing that just announced a large layoff after the election.

Mark my words we are in deep trouble despite despite the fact that most blacks and Latinos voted for Obama. You can't overcome a 16% trillion debt.

If Obama doesn't turn the economy around in the next four years the Dems are dead.

Again, your childish remark reveals you work at Purdue the farm and your diploma might be rapped in a McDonald's rapper. But I expected that. At least you can get your SS supplies for four more years.

Psst Michael, let go of the banana. Your man lost, its over, the fat lady is singing away. Romney has packed his bag and leaving on a jet plane, etc., etc.

Michael, what you are describing happens everywhere, including Republican controlled states. That one on the Eastern Shore is going to be hard to get.

Jim Graves came VERY close to defeating Michele Bachmann with only trailing by 1.2%. Maybe he can throw her out in 2014. Tea Partiers like Joe Walsh, Roscoe Bartlett, Allen West, Charlie Bass, Frank Guinta, Sandy Adams, Bobby Schiling, Quico Canseco, Denny Rehberg, Todd Akin, and Rick Berg will no longer be a threat to American Intellectualism. Thank God they're out!

"In Silver We Trust"

Silver of the Times called it. What does he say about his paper's profit being down over 30%. They are facing bankruptcy like the country.

Why do a lot of people call you a moron? Obama won because he faced a less formidable candidate. It's hard to beat Santa Klaus.

The market was down over 300 points. Good start. When your goodies stop so does Obama's halo fade away.

The market dropping is grossly overrated. It'll bounce back in the next couple days. Life goes on.
The market's gone up over 3500 points since Obama's been in office.
Even this is marginally relevant to his presidency.

Steve,

You sir are a complete brainwashed moron. How the hell do you fabricate so many documents that discuss the history of Benghazi, and why it was so vulnerable. Our President and those that needed to know watched the entire thing unfold overhead via Drone. There were also numerous state cables and emails dictating the impending assault. Obama willfully lied and mislead the american people in various meetings by blaming it on a Video wake up.

Just because Glen Beck and Limbaugh told you that doesn't make it so....

Steve its all out there on other news sources. Oh and by the way I dont listen to Glenn or to Rush Limbaugh. And they arent real news anyways they are opinion based entertainment.

And non-fox news related. SO have fun playing the FoxNEWS is terrible card.

People died in those events. You still can't write. "AS", what is that? Turn the light on in the basement and listen to your mother, she is calling you.

One last English lesson you don't capitalize "President". Have you ever been right in your life?

You really do have mental issues Old Man.

Even Geraldo Riviera knew that Faux News Fabricated the story.

There weren't any SEALS there at all. They were private security contractors that were killed.

Don't forget my favorite Romney quote..

"Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually."

You mean libbie winners? BlOb, you got poo poo in your nose? Just admit you were all wet and lost. Translation = Man-up, dude.

Frank the Times is the # one paper in the world. It's not the Towson times. It indicates a troubled economy and I predict a deep recession based on what the economists are saying.

When Obama cuts the defense budget (Boeing had a large layoff today) The trickle down theory will have a tremendous effect.

I knew Obama would win because it's hard to beat the uninformed and Santa Klaus.

Hey, look who left his uncles behind - it's Balled-upSurfer!

Back from Boston? Had to close up shop? You'll be over that hangover soon.

Buzz, repeat after me, multi-tasking. Obama is very good at it.

Patton and Rommel were generals - they had fronts to lead from. Obama and Romney are politicians, and have desks and podiums (maybe playing courts) to stay behind and try to get others to believe their lies and do what they are instructed to do and take the blame for the boss's mistakes.

It's stature not in circulation. China has more people than the U.S. be we are still the number one country in he world. Face Book just went the numbers game.

Numbers are not always the indicator of success or stature.

That's fine.

Buzz, the debt will NEVER be repaid...it's absolutely impossible...unless Mr. Bernanke just prints up enough imaginary bucks to do so. After that, a Coke might cost you a thousand bucks - or a hundred thousand - even a million.

Please learn English so that, in the future, you might properly communicate a point. Thank you.

MDB - I wonder the same thing. Hopefully he will have to answer for this at some point. Lucky we have Seals to watch our backs so libbies like jag have time to read their grammar books. Good luck with your business - lets hope the golden boy can put down the microphone and actually lead this time around.

MDB you must have had Govt. contracts, they always take the lowest bidder and pay when they feel like it....been there!! Contractors from outside of the U.S. can bid here such as we do in other countries,but I say we need to keep more contracts "in house".

Did you make that up all by yourself? Genius...bet you can open a beer bottle with your teeth too. Do you do parties?

Whatever you say, MDBronco. Not sure why you expect me to have a "thought of my own" as I'm simply encouraging you to learn English if you'd like us to give weight to your opinion. I'd love to know what you were ranting about, but "why did he he leave to Navy Seals....What does that say what he cares about domestically?" just isn't close enough to English for me to decipher. Sorry. There are a number of adult ESL (English as a second language) classes out there; I think you'd do well to enroll in a couple. Cheers.

Because they are real live soldiers of of the U.S. One thing they don't wear water wings and diapers like you do! They won't even let you in the pool because you leave a ring around it!

You would not get past the S and a small s at that with SEALs. At least a Seal knows how to use grammar and aren't illiterate.

And my money goes to people like you so you can eat! And you are the future or this country! What a waste.

I doubt the Talabond would take you.

And by the way they killed that guy; what was his name?

Code word alert! Anytime someone uses the words welfare, free cell phone, worst president, couch and get a job in a paragraph they just might, just maybe be exhibiting racist tendencies. Come clean lifer. You getting any gubmint checks?

Harfordlifetimer, WFT? He is an American. PERIOD!.

My great grandfather was French, immigrated to this country and became an American.

Unemployment was much higher between 1929-1938... As a percentage of population, and actual number of unemployed.

The President has NOTHING to do with gas prices. You want cheap gas? Don't teach the Chinese, Africans, or Indians to drive. It's supply and demand, and unfortunatly, there really is a limited amount of refining capacity, even if there was some excess crude production capacity.

Yes, he wants to raise some taxes. You can't cut simply cut sending, to attempt to fix our problems. But, if he raises taxes on those making 1 million a year or more, how does that affect you? Heck, it doesn't affect me at all.

The World is poised to become one....tricky business....but it's happinin..

Got him, hook, line and sinker. Birther Alert! Call Trump!

Republicans want to raise taxes too, just not on the rich people. And, before some fool blows his top, I could not bring myself to vote for either Obama or Romney. Wasted it on an Independent.

Romney did that himself. In trying to win the nomination, he had to appease the nutbag far right, in the primaries. How many times did he and Mr Ryan evade, backslid, flip flop, or flat out lie on a position?

Jeep sending all jobs to China? Lie
Anti Abortion in all cases? Yes, then, Nope not me...
Being either misinformed or just pandering to old, rich, white donors, by actually saying what he thinks, (or worse, just what they want to hear), with the 47% remarks.

As a Party, the Republicans and Mr Romney went about ignoring, or insulting the fastest growing demographics. (Hispanic Americans, Black Americans, and single Women) While counting on white males to carry them. Sorry, but that dog won't hunt anymore.

While Republicans mostly held onto congressional seats, for now, (where local is more important,and you can get away with being a nutbag fascist.. See Michele Bachmann...), on a state wide, or national level, they got their butts kicked.

Akin, Mourdock, Smith, Burg... and 5 other right wing nutbags all lost Senate races. Really? North Dakota elected a Democrat for anything? Just how bad was their guy? Must have been awful...lol

Oh, you mean the excuses why Romney lost? That would be your territory.

You ever heard of the Glass Half Empty/Glass Half Full analogy? Well, Fox Noise takes a full glass, puts a false bottom on top, and somehow convinces folks like you that the glass is empty. Wake up and smell the coffee.

I am hoping we fall of the cash cliff and hit the ground hard, people in this country need something to wake them up. Some big spending cuts and major tax hikes will get everyones attention.

Thanks for that enlightening discussion Jack.

Also what I just wrote above should be viewed as satire. I was just making fun of the guy above me.

It's not out of spite, it doesn't matter who won the elction Romney or Obama we have a Government that gets nothing done yet we keep sending the same idiots back to Washington.

That cash cliff thing is beginning...the market?

okay, so you want to do it to send a cruel message to someone on the hill. That is literally the definition of Spite.

The entire manipulation is just another step toward more control...

For those of you who stated welfare has gone down under Obama you're absolutely wrong.

"America’s welfare state is not a principality. It is a vast empire bigger than the entire budgets of almost every other country in the world"

Thanks Frank I get your point but I could have a will made online for under $100 that would cover most of those things. The average working family doesn't have estates and trusts to worry about so unless you're wealthy they're non-issues. Insurance is the only benefit I would agree with.

And if I found out about you, I'd get you locked up. Fraud is fraud.

OBTW she wouldn't qualify for benifets, because I'd garnish your wages you deadbeat.

By the time the Government did anything and caught up to my wages I will have a few years of easy living under my belt, then we'll just drop of the Governments dime for a few months and then start again, it's brilliant! Thanks for the inspiration O!

Frank you're getting free money? You've been holding out on me, where do I sign up?

Frank needs a job? So how is it that Harfordlifetimer gets to spend all day on The Patch?

What facts? Where? All you do is bitch and whine, and spout Fox 'news' tidbits.

And your comment about being better under GH Bush shows how far you have you head stuck in the Republican bubble...

This country is 50 times worse now than it was with Bush???

I would agree if one less war, more jobs, tuition reform, Wall St. reform, equal pay for equal work, military service for ALL volunteers, health care reform (specifically, pre-existing conditions), and a list of other accomplishments have made it worse...but it doesn't...and I don't.

I say we kick all the politicians out and start fresh, like I said in a post above we have a Government that gets nothing done, it's not one side it's all of them.

just_my _opinion, I agree1000%!!

And that's where the problem lies....too many people are worried about their own agenda instead of focusing on what is best for the U.S.A.

Because religions are simply political parties in disguise.

I am a Republican and you sir are correct!

Indeed!

"With the oher files....."

LOL What does Michael Oher have to do with this?

Old man you make me laugh calling someone else "illiterate".

Isn't it nap time?

Get real, pal. Being in the military is a job that the dark, imperialist side of America pays for. It is a good living for people who have an inherited stake in it or who are for one reason or another willing to take a dangerous job with travel perks. Really talented people make a decent living doing it and anyone who can hack it can take the option of double-dipping beginning at at relatively young age.

The day of the citizen-soldier who saved the country is over, Buzzy-boy. Were you asleep somewhere when the switch-over to mercenary military happened? Were you pissed and had a twenty year black-out?

Steve, by the way is a free-thinking patriot and a fine American. If you take him to court, he may wind up owning your house. What county? I thought this was a cosmopolitan chatroom.

LOL So what was your draft number then Beeker?

That's easy to understand. Rove started searching himself asking "How would I do that?" and landed on one of his own dirty tricks.
