@ Doug Z people like sharon are so brainwashed by this trickle down economics lie they vote against thier own interest. Even after mitt romney was caught on tape dimissing half the country as bums and victims people like sharon will still belive he cares for them its sad
Cash-strapped state governments and the federal government added thousands of jobs in July, August and September, boosting overall jobs numbers. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced today that it had revised jobs numbers for July and August upwards, with revised gains coming from public sector jobs.
James
Mit Romney tape was edited. It is a lie to use anything that is edited.That is not a good example of anything but propaganda.
Obama cares, I do not feel his love.
James reading what you have had to say is sad.
Question… If someone retires and you hire a replacement is that a job added in the Obama Bazaro world? Just asking.
@
James
The government is printing money by the trillions QE 1-2-3
Incomes are down under Obama
6 Trillion in debt added
Less people working than four years ago
Umemployment at 7.8
Gas at 4 dollars a gallon
The Middle East in flames.
Afghanistan a failure.
But hey why nit pick.
James don’t insult my intelligence I am an independent woman who can take care of myself so don’t patronize me. Brainwashed what are you talking about Mitt Romney is right . there is a certain segment of this country that are bums and will never vote for anyone that is talking jobs. That does not interest them. Look I am an independent thinker , know that if you are dependent on government you are obligated. So the 47% of the people who are dependent on government are now obligated to vote for the hand out government
James how many food stamps and well fare checks did you cash to buy that mustang.
Mystery solved–Jeffie and James are same. Only two on here who make up cars they drive to try and impress. Ignore both.
Next James will tell us all about his job and that he is a rich and powerful business man in California who kinda knows d-list celebs and has a blow up pool that he holds catered parties around but won’t be able to post becaue he is going to Madrid. Blah blah blah. What a tool.
Good for you sharon. People now days think the gov owes them. I bought my first car at 15, because I had a job. And that was the only way.

Q: what is the key difference between Obama supporters and Romney supporters?
A: Romney supporters sign their checks on the front and Obama supporters sign theirs on the back!
========================
Stupidest comment you’ve ever posted. There’s no sense in it.
Where is my prison shows MSNBC? That’s about the only time I watch.
@ Sharon if u missed it mitt told hannity on fox that he was completely wrong about what he said about the 47 percent even though that was B.S comin out his mouth but anyway you do know that veterens medicare recipients..social security benefiters and low income workers are in that 47 percent .
Btw sharon i have a good job and my 2011 mustang gt was because of my exellent credit and fat paychecks
And i own a nice house btw. But i believe in the teachings of liberalism. Fairness.liberty.equality courtesy.etc
Rachael Maddow, in her desperation for a “good” story to counter the Romney victory, said on her program this Friday night, the reason Romney was able to win with dead on facts is that Romney had illegally written notes on his handkerchief which he was using to blow his nose while reading !
HONEST ! This is not a joke. As incredable as Obama being effected by the altitude in Denver (which did not seem to be a factor for Obama back in 2004) which some how slowed Obama’s wit and mental agility and/or made him sleep and not as rested for the debate.
James_____Do you have any proof that was B.S? Two can play that game.
Sorry ..my bad . I meant to say when Obama was in Denver 2008 not 2004 bad typo. Thank you.
was able to win with dead on facts
uh what? They both lied. Romney lied a lot and so did Obama. The only difference is that Romney called out Obama when he lied, Obama did NOT call out Romney on his lies. He was wrong about Obamas medicare plan and Obama didn’t even look up at him….that’s the sad part.
