But that's still 119 hours more than should be spent on it.

No arguments from me there chuck

The question is. Has that idiot Romney, who likes to insult his greatest allies ever heard of it, or any other sport that is outside the USA. He really needs to buck up on his people skills with the rest of the world. Speaking as a non-american, it's quite scary that this guy could become leader. IMO of course.

Are you talking about Romney's remarks about the preparations for the Olympics? I honestly believe you will find him a much more trustworthy ally than the current resident of the White House.

Obama will cut anybody loose for his own personal benefit. He still hasn't backed the UK over the Falklands issue.

<deleted>. The USA needs to be close friends to the UK AND Argentina.

The Olympics was one example but he doesn't seem to be on Putins xmas card list either

You mean by repeating exactly what everyone in England was saying for weeks before he got there?What a tempest in a teapot. Keep a stiff upper lip old boy!

So he hasn't got his own mind and just repeats what others say. Even more worrying, a Parrot for a President. Come on UG, it's not too hard to understand that his job description includes being a diplomat. Maybe he should read the JD before the tabloids as not everyone in England was saying that, it was just the journo's trying to create a story, as usual.

since more than a decade i am wondering what crimes the Americans committed that the Lord punishes them with presidents such as a village idiot from Texas, a Hawaii/Kenya born with multiple birth certificates who thought he can and soon perhaps a former Mormon bishop who speaks French fluently. imagine! an American speaking outlandish! isn't that against all prevailing laws?

. Maybe he should read the JD before the tabloids as not everyone in England was saying that, it was just the journo's trying to create a story, as usual.

Well, the story that they were trying to create was heard loudly all over the world for several weeks before Mitt got there and politely expressed a few minor concerns when asked his opinion by an American publication.

If something like this happened in the US with a British politician, no one would even think about it. He was just stating the obvious. Much ado about nothing IMHO.

I haven't read this thread but it ain't hard to figure out who you are supporting.

What's your view on his statement about Russia, or Putin in particular.

Romney is a better debater and has been doing it consistently for years and the debates will make a big difference in how people vote.

Obama has real problems without a teleprompter and he can not use one in a debate.

Can't argue with that but it does lead to the question of why. As usual it is all down to the swing vote and that is not going to go Romney's way because his lies are facepalm lies. He could say the world was flat and the steadfast ® would vote for him.... Scratch that as many already do. He could say the world was shaped rather like a cube and they would believe him. Romney can and does say the most unbelievable falsehoods in debates which are highlighted but it will have no effect at all on the core support. If Obama turned out the same falsehoods it would, though this would I imagine be a vocal objection rather than a loss in votes.

Has Romney's campaign called Obama a murderer or a felon or a tax evader? Any Romney's lies that Romney has told pale in comparison to those of the failure-in-chief.

I agree that Russia is turning into a foe (again), but I would say that China is higher on the food chain. However, I have no big problem with Romney's opinion, but am not sure how wise it was to broadcast it. As far as Putin, goes, IMO, Romney was probably right.

Putin would like anybody that agrees with him. For instance here is Obama talking to Medvedev about Missile Defense Shields, and Medvedev's response that he will pass the information on to Vladimir. No wonder Putin likes Obama.

Totally agree that China is more important nowadays but you still should be able to conduct yourself in a diplomatic manner to other countries at the same time.

lol. Do you know what the top DMCA takedown notice on YT was before I left Samui a couple of months back? Romney's and as fast as they come up they get taken down.

Imagine the kudos involved if Romney released his records, if he has nothing to hide then he would do it in an instant but he will not. Why?

Have you asked yourself the same question about Obama's sealed records?

Because it would just give the democrats something else to nitpick about and distract from Obama's miserable record. They have been bringing up one silly issue after another for months.

President Obama raises more money than unemployed super rich dude Romney in August. So much for the theory that Romney can buy the election. So how is Romney going to win in Ohio? Because if he doesn't, and he won't, he is TOAST.

Four more years of Obama is what Americans deserve. And I don't mean that in the nicest possible way.

I'll take it any way you serve it up if Romney is the other choice. Obama was beatable. But the republicans didn't have even one candidate who could have beat him except perhaps Jon Huntsman or Jeb Bush if he had run this time.

Despair and Change

There’s no excuse for the Obama record.

President Obama has had four years to fix the economy, and it’s not his fault he’s failed so far. He’s tried very hard, and he’s made some headway. But the task is so great that no one, not even FDR or Bill Clinton, could have done any better than he has. Thus, on effort and good intentions alone, Obama has earned four more years.

That’s a pathetically weak argument for reelection. But aside from attacking Mitt Romney, it’s the best Obama, Clinton, and Vice President Joe Biden could come up with at last week’s Democratic convention to defend a president bent on imposing policies that have produced consistently poor results. http://www.weeklystandard.com/author/fred-barnes

There's no excuse for Romney's flip flopping. Romneycare. Obamacare. He invented it before he wanted to kill it. The problem for the republicans is both their extremist ideology and the extremely unattractive candidate they selected. They blew it.

Is that flip flop thing the same as Obama being FOR same sex marriages before he was AGAINST same sex marriages before he was FOR same sex marriages?

Not the same at all. Obama didn't INVENT same sex marriage, and believe me gay people knew all along he was the best president in U.S. history for gay civil rights.

What a completely inane argument. When is a flip flop not a flip flop?

I suppose it is when JT decides it is.
