Cheat sheet for third Presidential debate
Campaign ad: “Rebuilding”
I could not agree with this ad more.
Not only did the President get us out of Iraq and is currently getting us out of Afghanistan, but he got the man who planned the 9/11 attacks.
Regarding Osama bin Laden, Mitt Romney said “It’s not worth moving heaven and Earth and spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person.”
Romney also floated the idea of using a voucher system to help veterans get health care.
No. Not good enough for our veterans.
Clear choice here, kids.

Mitt Romney’s foreign policy approach: “blunder and bluster”
In a series of interviews, Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Senator John Kerry, Admiral John Nathman (ret.), and Former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michèle Flournoy explain why Mitt Romney is not prepared to be commander-in-chief.
They each lay out how President Obama’s leadership has made America stronger, safer and more secure while Mitt Romney has nothing to offer except bluster, chest-thumping, and a commitment to endless war.
Remember – regarding Osama bin Laden, Mitt Romney said “It’s not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one man.”
President Obama, on the other hand, is the president who gave the order to capture bin Laden. That’s a fact. Mitt Romney said wouldn’t have continued the hunt for the man who organized the 9/11 attacks.
Romney was also trying to make political gain out of the Libya tragedy within hours of the attack on the US embassy.
Think about all that – who do you want to vote for?
President Obama and Mitt Romney tied in new NBC poll
President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney are tied nationally, according to a new poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal.
Obama and Romney are tied at 47 percent amongst likely voters, and Obama leads 49 percent to Romney’s 44 percent among registered voters.
Mitt Romney still supports a federal amendment to ban marriage equality
“Governor Romney supports a federal marriage amendment to the Constitution that defines marriage as an institution between a man and a woman. Governor Romney also believes, consistent with the 10th Amendment, that it should be left to states to decide whether to grant same-sex couples certain benefits, such as hospital visitation rights and the ability to adopt children. I referred to the Tenth Amendment only when speaking about these kinds of benefits, not marriage.”
The above statement comes from Romney campaign adviser Bay Buchanan, clarifying to Buzzfeed that he still opposes all federal rights for LGBT Americans. Earlier this week a remark by Buchanan left the impression with some that Romney no longer supports a federal ban on same-sex marriage.
For the record, I find the statement detestable. The quote “it should be left to states to decide whether or not to GRANT same-sex couples certain benefits, such as hospital visitation rights and the ability to adopt children….”
Grant.
Give.
Bequeath.
Thank you Mitt Romney. You are so giving and kind.
America – is this choice really hard???
Campaign ad: “Made In Ohio”
Mitt Romney famously advocated letting the auto industry go bankrupt. President Obama led the charge to save the auto industry.
In Ohio, 1 out of 8 jobs is connected to the auto industry.
Mitt Romney now says what he “meant” was that the auto corporations should have gone through bankruptcy proceedings and let private industry money come in and save them. The problem is: no one with that amount of money was willing to step up to the plate.
President Obama made the right call, saved thousands of jobs, and the US auto industry is again on top.
We have a clear choice this election.
The guy who saved the auto industry, got us our of Iraq, is ending the war in Afghanistan, got Osama bin Laden, repealed Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and whose policies helped lead the stock market to almost double in four years and saw new home building starts jump 15% last month.
Is this hard to figure out, America?
p.s. that was not a trick question.
FOX News Poll: President Obama leads Romney in Ohio 46%-43%
All I gotta say: FOX News Poll!
Fox News poll has the President up over Mittens 46%-43% in Ohio. I keep saying “watch Ohio.”
AND – by a margin of 45%-40% Ohioans feel the economy is getting better.
AND – President Obama’s favorable numbers vs unfavorable numbers: 53%-41%
Mitt Romney’s favorable numbers vs unfavorable numbers: 48%-46%
This is not good news for Mitt Romney.
Do the math, kids…
President Obama disagnoses Mitt Romney – “Romnesia”
President Obama breaks down Mitt Romney’s case of “Romnesia.”
Good thing is – Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions, so there’s hope for Mr. Romney.
This is fabulous….
LOL.
Salt Lake Tribune endorses President Obama
From the Salt Lake Tribune:
From his embrace of the party’s radical right wing, to subsequent portrayals of himself as a moderate champion of the middle class, Romney has raised the most frequently asked question of the campaign: “Who is this guy, really, and what in the world does he truly believe?” The evidence suggests no clear answer, or at least one that would survive Romney’s next speech or sound bite. Politicians routinely tailor their words to suit an audience. Romney, though, is shameless, lavishing vastly diverse audiences with words, any words, they would trade their votes to hear.[snip]
In considering which candidate to endorse, The Salt Lake Tribune editorial board had hoped that Romney would exhibit the same talents for organization, pragmatic problem-solving and inspired leadership that he displayed here more than a decade ago. Instead, we have watched him morph into a friend of the far right, then tack toward the center with breathtaking aplomb. Through a pair of presidential debates, Romney’s domestic agenda remains bereft of detail and worthy of mistrust.
Therefore, our endorsement must go to the incumbent, a competent leader who, against tough odds, has guided the country through catastrophe and set a course that, while rocky, is pointing toward a brighter day. The president has earned a second term. Romney, in whatever guise, does not deserve a first.
