jimbo I actually think Romney " came from the planet of "ROMMULA". He dosen't have a clue what he"s talking about. He's using words to describe how he's going to chang the country but has NO FACTS OR FIGURES to back up his BULLS---. He looks at the United States as a "big corporation" and expects to be the PRESIDENT and CEO of it. His clowns this morning on CNN couldn't believe how Obama's camp was ATTACKING Romney about the lies of the Jeep jobs to China that he continues to make. Romney calls himself a christian, talk about a TWO FACED HYPOCRIT, TAKING OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH. His wife isn't any better she's a phony just like he is. Took advantage of the auto bailout invested 1 million in stock at $.67 now at $32.00 a share which cost the TAX PAYERS more money because of it. The so called BLIND TRUST he put in Ann Romneys name to hide it. If he's elected i feel sorry for not only this country but also the people that voted for him because he going to FORGET EVERYTHING HE PROMISED THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR HIM mark my words. His only concern is going to be HIMSELF, FAMILY, THE BIG DONORS & THE 1%. They remind me of DAGWOOD BUMSTED & BLONDIE. Whats really disgusting is that stupid look he gives when makes a statement and the CONSTANT SMACKING OF HIS LIPS. OHIO IS OBAMA COUTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So did Romney finally speak about or answer questions on the fact that he wanted to eliminate FEMA? No? I didn't think so. It is easy to talk crap, until you may find yourself up against it. He folded like a lawn chair when this nation wanted to hear about FEMA. This is what you get when you stand with the flim flam man.
Michelle November 4, 2012 at 08:57 pm
Only stupid people vote Obama
Chris November 4, 2012 at 09:04 pm
OH Michelle. What a harsh thing to say. True but so insensitive.
Stupid people vote Democrat in general. Nasty Nancy Pelosi, Slobbering Barney Frank, Dingy Harry Reid, John "our military are terrorists" Kerry, Bill the rapist Clinton, Jimmy appease all terrorists Carter. Just to name a few PUKES.
Chris November 4, 2012 at 09:05 pm
And of course OBAMA the present PUKE in chief.

Michelle November 4, 2012 at 09:42 pm
Not 5, but have not heard an intelligent argument FOR Obama yet. Just stating the obvious.

Once you leave the sandbox and learn to read like the adults do, then you will easily find all the good rationals. In fact some adult will probably help you learn about a search engine called Google and you can simply enter "reasons to vote Obama" and all your questions will be answered. In fact, here are 218 reasons from Forbes and these are all pres Sandy and the absolutely stellar accomplishments that FEMA has been able to do under him, compared to Bush's inaction during Katrina:

Colter95 November 4, 2012 at 10:21 pm
I saw Obama yesterday claiming the new job numbers are proof that his policies are working and that we are in an economic recovery... Fact is, that is not the truth, or even close to the truth...
First, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9% and the year-to-date monthly average of 157,000 payroll jobs is barely enough to keep up with population growth -- much less make up for the 8 million jobs lost during the Great Recession. Second, the so-called real unemployment rate (U6) remains elevated at 14.6%, albeit down from 14.7% the prior month. Similarly, the labor participation rate is at 63.8%, up from its multi-decade low but still incredibly weak. Third, average hourly earnings fell a penny in October and average hours worked fell to 34.4 from 34.5 in September. Stagnant wages means "we're not generating income," Reinhart says. "That's a problem in terms of the durability of an economic expansion, which is usually fueled by consumption. To get consumption you've got to generate income." Also, just look at your checkbook. We are paying a lot more for everything now than we did in 2008. The price of gas has doubled. At the same time, wages have gone down, and that's if you're lucky to have a job. In 2008, 25 banks went out of business. In 2012, 48 banks have gone out of business. Almost double the amount. Does that sound like recovery to you? Don't believe the Obama lies!! Romney/Ryan 2012

October Jobs report
with the unemployment rate ticking up to 7.9 percent but the economy adding a better-than-expected 171,000 jobs. At the same time, the number of unemployed grew by 170,000, roughly the same amount -- to 12.3 million. .......................really +1,000 jobs gained thats 20 jobs per state or 1 new job for every 4 counties in ohio
tom m November 4, 2012 at 10:38 pm
what is even more interesting is that Jimmy Carter was +6 on the sunday before the election against Reagan based on all the CBS and NBC polling data

I see Joseph had another personality split while I needed to step away. And, it looks like a few others have joined the spam train. Also appears some of those on here were actually part of that original Joseph, Jean, Beth,... entity - I have noticed lots of similarities in some posters comments recently as they are trying to blast this NE Ohio area. They tried to change it up with comments but in their haste, they tipped their hand!
By reading these posts by the out of staters, its easy to see people are getting desperate.

"Gary Johnson's 7 Principles of Good Government
1) Become reality driven. Don't kid yourself or others. Find out what's what and base your decisions and actions on that. 2) Always be honest and tell the truth. It's extremely difficult to do any damage to anybody when you are willing to tell the truth—regardless of the consequences. 3) Always do what's right and fair. Remember, the more you actually accomplish, the louder your critics become. You've got to learn to ignore your critics. You've got to continue to do what you think is right. You've got to maintain your integrity. 4) Determine your goal, develop a plan to reach that goal, and then act. Don't procrastinate. 5) Communicate. Make sure everybody who ought to know what you're doing knows what you're doing. 6) Don't hesitate to deliver bad news. There is always time to salvage things. There is always time to fix things. Henry Kissinger said that anything that can be revealed eventually should be revealed immediately. 7) Be willing to do whatever it takes to get your job done. If you've got a job that you don't love enough to do what it takes to get your job done, then quit and get one that you do love, and then make a difference. www.garyjohnson2012.com

Lots of the best human beings that ever walked this planet, eg. Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Einstein, Tesla, Nikola Schauberger, Emily Dickinson (only published 10 poems in her lifetime), Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul, Clara Barton, Rosa Parks, VanGogh, Frida Kahlo, Dr. Brian O'Leary, Frederick Delius, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and Walter and Lao Russell, etc. ever compromised their principles.
Gov. Gary Johnson is walking with some big name people if his integrity, and refusal to compromise on his principles, sets the bar high. Go, Gary. Wouldn't it be nice to have a real leader who can lead us somewhere worth going? www.garyjohnson2012.com Have a Free and Equal debate party tonight on Monday night. It IS a historic debate, and WILL be enlightening. Tell everyone you know, and anyone you don't know but can reach out to now, and tell them to make sure and watch, Mon., Nov. 5th, 9:00-10:30pm Eastern. The debate will be between successful and self-made former NM Gov. Gary Johnson (Libertarian party) and thoughtful and articulate Dr. Jill Stein (Green party). http://freeandequal.org/?v=1

There are going to be a lot of surprised people when votes actually start coming in. The campaigns internal polling is why Romney is campaigning as someone in the lead, and Obama is grasping at straws. There information is much more accurate.

Again, while I am very grateful for the outcome for my Mom, I also have a lot of compassion for theRead More other residents. The move for my Mom is only temporary, since the South Westerly will come under the same guidelines within a couple of years. This can only be changed by an act of Congress. I have already written letters to the politicians involved, particularly Marcy Kaptur -- Ohio Congressional District 9. Hopefully, all concerned will do the same.
Duane Hoyt June 7, 2013 at 08:25 am
Marcy doesn't care about Lakewood. Dennis Kucinich wouldn't allow this to happen, but thanks toRead More Republican (Kasich) redistricting, Dennis had to run against Marcy, and he lost. Remember this when Kasich runs against local Lakewood man Ed Fitzgerald runs for Governor.
Ron Dodson June 8, 2013 at 07:10 pm
Members of Congress tack on amendments to bills all the time that only benefit a handful of theirRead More constituents. If there was ever a time for a pork barrel move, this would be it. You're right Duane, this would have never gotten this far if Dennis was still next door to the Westerly.

So I think an important part of any action is to get those residents who are being evicted and areRead More willing and able to picket in front of the Westerly, out there, with signs, supporters and the media. Are any of the residents willing to do that, or their families/friends? The oldest could sit in chairs with signs. Signs could say things like "The Westerly is throwing grandma to the curb" or "Evicted by Big Money". I'm just shooting from the hip here but you get the idea. I would come out as a supporter. I have few contacts in that building, but the two that I do have are activists. Could you organize something like this with your contacts? Look out Westerly, you will be on the news and it won't be pretty.

They can't ask these seniors to move at this point in their lives. This just does not sit well withRead More me at all. How can the bank and IRS be okay with this? Something definitely needs to be done to allow these people (who have done NOTHING wrong by the way) to stay right where they are.

Colin and Tim - walk around both Madison and Detroit. LOTS of empty storefronts on both streets. WhyRead More aren't our city officials thinking outside the retro/Rust Belt box and offering options for this losing population city? Check out what Tucson, AZ, did with many of its empty storefronts - they offered them to artists and were turned into Pop-Up Galleries! Madison Ave would be great for this idea - and then link these galleries to the Ma and Pa galleries/shops on Madison already existing. It could be done 4 times a year - Pop-Ups up for 4 weeks and turned into an Art Event! The city could sponsor a weekend where a shuttle bus would go up and down Madison to see the galleries, eat and shop. In other words, something DIFFERENT for Lakewood, and at least, some use of empty storefronts and an opportunity for artist to show their art.
