What really bothers me with Romney's statements .... is his very party - The Republican party ... are the reason Obama hasn't been able to do much... with the GOP in Congress obstructing one piece of legislation after another! Not even attempting to reach compromise solutions on many things!! Nice way to spin things in his favor. Hoping to capture the dumb, gullible ones, who don't know how to think! He talks about the economy .. Ummm .. the Economy became unglued September 2008. Obama assumed office January 2009. So .. if there's a president to put blame on .. for leading the country to a down economy that can be compared to the Depression in the 30s ... I believe that would be George W. Bush! aka - the Village Idiot! And lastly ... because this is the worst economic time period this country ever had ... since the Depression .... It's not going to take one man ... one term .. to fix everything. It's going to take LOTS of people coming together. Time and Patience! The country didn't come fully out of the Great Depression till the 1940s. Imagine Romney some 80 years earlier ..telling the American people in 1936 ... that Roosevelt doesn't deserve re-election because America hadn't fully come out of the Depression by that time! The economy is SO BIG ... can't expect a speedy recovery .. through one man (Republican or Democrat) within one term. Took Roosevelt 3 terms! Unless you want what the 1940s had .. and who wants that?!! I know too well the Republican party loves these two words - Military & War. No thanks! Not interested in a president that could be trigger happy .. a MORMON .. a lier ... assaulted a gay guy in his youth .. worse yet .. denied it! Oh ... and how is it that Romney is looking out for the middle class? I've been on this planet long enough to know the Republican party loves to cater to the 1% rich ... middle class (and especially anyone below that) just doesn't register on their brains! It never has! I despise that party .. I despise Romney .. and I despise his lies ... like .. what else is new ... now, with yet, another video and the outrages lies that come out of it!?

I remember history, but I fear that due to the ignorance of others we will repeat the stupidity that led us into the recent recession. Only I fear it may be worse.
