President Obama continues to seek credit for saving General Motors and the entire U.S. auto industry when his administration made the unprecedented move to takeover, nationalize, and use taxpayer funds to bailout the bankrupt company. In November of last year, the Treasury Department, which is a cabinet position in the Obama White House, admitted that losses to the taxpayer would be in excess of $35 billion, even after the promise by the President of no costs to the American people in 2009.

I see you didn't answer my several requests to list the socialistically derived things you have received this month. Exactly, because you are playing make believe and have no evidence of ACTUALLY socialism, you
You don't know what you are talking about and this is just fluff because you are not listening to me and you don't want to know what is going on. You have no viable arguments to counter my points.
I am getting tired of this obtuse stuff from you.
I have tried my best to explain things but you are unwilling to understand. I can't make you understand. So I am going to leave you with thanks for helping me to show that people who support a popular President don't always know what it is they are really supporting.
Ironically, I don't dislike Rachel. In fact she seems a likeable person. I don't have to agree with her positions though. It's funny how she rants about how Romney ran in Massachusetts as a Progressive but how he ran as conservative in the Presidential election, which appears to be true, but Democrats have painted Romney as an extreme right winger.
But can you really blame any man for saying they believe in a woman's right to abortion? Men are afraid to cross women on this issue. Would you blame any of them? Wanna cross a radical feminist?

While rumors of an “October Surprise” -- purported secret talks between the United States and Iran -- appear to have done little to affect the outcome of the presidential election, new reports suggest Valerie Jarrett, President Obama’s senior adviser, may have been facilitating communication between the two adversaries.
The reports suggest that Jarrett, who was born in Iran to American parents and who served as senior adviser to Obama’s presidential campaign, may have held clandestine meetings, bringing together officials from the Obama administration and the Iranian regime.

grandmakw, here is your chance. Point out exactly what was false in the OP posting? And please do so with facts, not opinions.
As far as this country being ripped in two, your anger at the facts presented show it has already happened.

If your point is that Republicans are tiptoing around the medicare and ss issue and silencing Ron Paul, yes I would say that is correct. Ron Paul has been marginalized by operatives of both parties. Why is this? Because both parties have been corrupted by socialism.
However I would say that Paul Ryan is trying to work within the construct of what is, and yet keeping us from going over the financial cliff. And for that the Democrat Party has tried to destroy him and his reputation.

Way to rip the nation further in two!
A fantastic example of name calling and belittling that hurts our nation so deeply it may never heal from the rift.
Keep it up OP and keep encouraging the split of our nation in two because of intolerance and a non-acceptance of people who hold different ideas than yours.
Way to heal the nation, name calling, ridiculing etc.
How do you respond when a person calls you stupid, ridicules you and puts you down and then tells you to accept their ideas as the correct one? Think about it OP.

GREAT commentary by Rachel. IMHO, she is the smartest person they have on MSNBC. The GOP should listen to her, she is absolutely right. The Republican party of religious fundamentalists is fading fast. I'm beginning to think the two next major parties will be the Libertarians and the Democrats.
and yes Ohio really did go to President Obama last night,
President Obama must have run a great campaign considering the tremendous numbers he put up in numerous big cities. Over in Philadelphia, he was lucky enough to get 90% percent turnout in some districts with over 99% of the vote.
In Cleveland, in some districts he did even better with an astounding 100% of the vote in dozens of locations. For example, in Cleveland's Fifth Ward, Mr. Obama won districts E, F, and G 1,337 to Mitt Romney's... 0. And in case you're wondering, Gary Johnson received more votes than Mr. Romney.
Well, maybe that's just a fluke. In the Ninth Ward, Mr. Obama won districts D-G with a paltry total of 1,740 to... 3. Hey, at least Romney got .2% of the vote!
1,337-0
Okay, what if we look at an entire Ward? No way this trend continues, right? An entire ward. Why not do the First Ward? Obama won that one 12,857 to... 94. This time Romney got .7% of the vote. He's moving up in the world!
In total, there are 21 districts in Cleveland where Mr. Romney received precisely 0 votes. In 23 districts, he received precisely 1 vote. And naturally, in one of the districts where Obama won 100% of the vote, there was 100% turnout. What a coincidence!
By the way, in case you are thinking that Romney did so poorly because maybe those districts were not very populated: Nope. In those 44 districts, Mr. Obama won 14,686 to 23. That's .16% of the vote for Romney.
But Ohio's not important in the electoral college, right?
