Whats sadder, is how some Americans find Delight and Joy in War.
I don't know those Americans.
Visited any of your fallen "buddies" graves lately?
Nope...
Maybe you could explain to their families your dissappointment.
I don't need to; they share my disappointment.
They aren't happy with a POTUS who abandons a mission their son died for just to earn reelection points.

Watch the romney speech, then watch obamas. Obama won the election tonight. Every undecided voter in america who saw both was captured tonight. his speech was brilliant, and there is nothing you obama haters could possibly say to make that untrue. That speech was inspiring and will drive countless americans to the polls for him. Break down every line you dont like from tonight and make your case on how obama is not the right guy all you want. The fact is, this week the DNC destroyed the republicans chances of winning this year. maybe 2016edit on 7-9-2012 by theconspirator because: (no reason given)

Obamas speech = proof that he doesn't understand basic economics.
He said he wants to build up America's infrastructure .. roads, etc. (GREAT!)
He said he'd get the $$$ from what he'd save by ending the wars. (What the hell???)
The money for the wars came from borrowed money.
Ending the wars does't mean we have a surplus. It means we stop borrowing as much.
But he intends to keep borrowing and adding debt.
Does he even understand this basic economic fact?
If he does understand it .. then he spat out a campaign lie at the speech.
If he does not understand it .. then he has no business being in office.

He also took a cheap shot at Romney saying he and Ryan have no foreign policy experience. REALLY??????
OBAMA: "We will reform and strengthen Medicare for the long haul, but we'll do it by reducing the cost of health care, not by asking seniors to pay thousands of dollars more."
THE FACTS: Some of the proposals the Obama administration has floated in budget negotiations with Congress would ask Medicare beneficiaries to pay more. Among them: revamping co-payments and deductibles in ways that could raise costs for retirees and increasing premiums for certain beneficiaries....
OBAMA: "We can help big factories and small businesses double their exports, and if we choose this path, we can create a million new manufacturing jobs in the next four years."
THE FACTS: Obama has claimed an increase of some 500,000 manufacturing jobs over the past 29 months. But this is cherry picking by the president. From the beginning of Obama's term 3 1/2 years ago, manufacturing jobs have declined by more than 500,000, according to the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Manufacturing jobs have been on a steady decline for nearly two decade.

I’m ready to debate the merits of his claims and promises. Did he say what you expected? Did he represent his record accurately? Do you believe what he promised?
Somehow I think this speech won’t live up to expectations.
My TV is ON!!
I'm waiting patiently.......

I would say almost no undecided voters seen either speech. it is a infomercial (both RNC and DNC) to capture the energy of their base.
The debates is when (some) of the undecided voters may check in for a few minutes.

In 2012, high oil prices were triggered after inspectors reported more evidence that Iran was very close to building nuclear weapons capabilities. Iran responded to international sanctions by threatening to shut down the Straits of Hormuz. The U.S. said it would reopen the Straits, using military force if it had to. This drove oil prices up until March, when slow growth in China and the eurozone debt crisis created fears of an global economic slow-down. Investors took money out of oil and put it into U.S. Treasuries,driving to their lowest levels in 200 years.
