I'm happy to report the University of Maryland made it through Sandy in remarkably good condition. I will be resuming my studies in the morning as life in central Maryland begins to return to "normal". However, I certainly can't say the same for people further North and East and I continue to pray for their safety. I hope the lights come back on soon and hopefully everyone comes out of this thing okay. Best of luck to the power crews and all the emergency responders who will be leading our states out of this thing over the next several days.
Yesterday and today...oh hell, let's be honest, this entire campaign season, we've known the two men running for the presidency are VERY different. With Sandy came even more proof of that. We've now been shown who is a clear leader and who leans on others to get things done, to make him look good.
Brains and Class: Mitt Romney has completely suspended his campaign in order to help with storm relief efforts. As a former governor, he knows both how important this is and how to get it done. We have seen this in several ways so far. Before Sandy even hit, the Romney campaign was collecting donations from campaign offices all over the East Coast, piling them on a campaign bus donated to the cause, and getting them ready to ship to areas which would be in most need. Today Romney turned a scheduled campaign stop in Ohio into a massive donation collection center for the storm relief efforts. He was personally involved in collecting and loading donations down on the floor on the building they were in. Two televisions were also put on display reminding those who stopped by to send donations via text message to the Red Cross.
Stupid and Classless: So what is team Obama doing during all this? Although they've "suspended" their campaign, all that means is that Obama isn't out on the campaign trail anymore. But that hasn't stopped the campaign from sending Bill Clinton to replace Obama at every rally he was supposed to be at! Clinton appeared for Obama on Monday in Florida, on Tuesday in Colorado and will be making an appearance in the former Democrat stronghold of Minnesota tomorrow! That's no "suspension of campaign"! Romney's team is not out there having some surrogate replace him!
So that takes care of classless, I think. At least the simple part of it. Now onto brainless. Prior to the storm, Obama flew to Florida, delivered pizza to a campaign office and then flew home the next day after cancelling his rally appearance. As I saw one pundit put it, that has to be one of the most expensive pizza deliveries in history. Obama also made an appearance before the storm and reminded people to stay tuned Internet updates on ready.gov, Facebook and Twitter as well as to their televisions for storm updates. He didn't mention any phone numbers to call nor did he list any radio stations or frequencies to turn to. Last I checked, no power means NO Internet and even smart phones have a limited battery life. What a fool.
The choice has always been clear, folks. But it became a lot clearer today.

The Liberal Media Stuns Me
Good afternoon everyone. I'm sorry it's been so long since I've gotten a post up. I've had a decent amount of school work to keep me busy over the last week or so but thanks to Hurricane Sandy bearing down on the University of Maryland, I find myself with no classes and no job to go to today, so I figured I'd be productive and get a new post up.
Putting the trash heap and voter fraud breeding ground that is early voting aside, we now have just over a week remaining until the real Election Day. And now that things are starting to go downhill for Obama and in a hurry, the liberal media is spinning stories as fast as it can to try and save their boy in the White House.
Four years ago, Rasmussen was rated as the most accurate polling company in that election. Rasmussen has always been ranked among the best in election after election. Now, with Rasmussen projecting Romney pulling ahead overall, in the swing states and now today in Ohio, liberal media whack jobs are running around portraying Rasmussen as a hack who has no idea how to conduct a poll. What changed? Oh right, he's got Romney winning now.
When Bush was in office and when McCain was running against Obama, it was the president who ran the economy, created jobs and controlled gas prices. Four years later with Obama about ready to fall off of a cliff, the economy, jobs and gas prices AREN'T Obama's fault?! What changed? Oh right, Obama is a Democrat so it's not his fault.
Reuters ran a story just today entitled "Hurricane forces Obama to balance governing, campaigning." Oh you poor soul! You mean to tell me a sitting president can't do both? He can't chew gum and walk at the same time? George W. Bush ran a very effective campaign in 2004 and he still led the country effectively. I don't see how this is a story and I don't see how Obama should be having any problems figuring it out. I thought he had a "billion dollar campaign machine" doing it all for him.
And now that the newspaper endorsements are flooding in, now that paper after paper is flipping from Obama to Romney, now that Obama has become the first Democrat in 40 years who failed to secure endorsement from the Des Moines Register, all the sudden newspaper endorsements don't mean a thing! Just read the AP story about it below.
This is all really and truly sickening and disgusting. As someone studying to become a journalist myself, I am appalled. Journalism is supposed to be fair and balanced. This shows that it's not.

Debate Postmortem
Wow
was that ever a crazy debate on Tuesday night! I know I’m only 19, so I don’t
remember very many town hall presidential debates, but I’ve never seen the
candidates go face to face and repeatedly interrupt each other like they did
last night. And I’ve never seen a candidate duck direct questions as bad as
Obama did last night.
6. Obama YET AGAIN took credit for ending the Iraq War and for killing Bin Laden.
7. Romney and his schools claim.
Jimmy Williams
Obama
was certainly stronger in this debate than the last time out. Of course he did
so bad the last time that it didn’t take much to see improvement. But his
solution to “be stronger” was pathetic. He talked louder; he lied even more and interrupted more. But he
also had help. Without Candy Crowley’s repeated interruptions of Romney, she
interrupted Romney 28 times to just nine for Obama, and without her inability
to let Romney respond to some of the outright lies of Obama, it made Obama look
way better off than he really was. The bottom line is that Romney stuck to the
facts, stuck to his guns, didn’t really lose his cool and won this debate
despite yet another moderator out to get him. Some of the key takeaways:
1.
Obama ducked two
huge direct questions from Romney during the debate and Crowley helped him do
it.
A question about energy policy came up
early in the debate and Romney turned to Obama and asked him how far down new
drilling permits had fallen under his administration. Rather than answer the
question, Obama went to some BS talking point about how we were drilling more
domestically under him than before. Regardless of the truth that is or isn’t
behind that statement, that wasn’t the question! Fact: New drilling permits are
down 62 percent under Obama. That’s not the way to get energy independent.
The next question Obama ducked was about
investing in China. After Obama yet again accused Romney of investing in
companies that outsource jobs to China, Romney asked Obama was kind of
investments are in his pension. Obama’s pension apparently includes Chinese
investments. Rather than answer, Obama made a snarky comment about how Romney’s
pension was bigger, another attempt
at playing class warfare rather than getting serious about this election. Obama
then turned and looked right at Crowley, all the sudden decided this pension
discussion was off topic. He begged Candy to move on from the topic, it looked
and sounded completely pathetic.
2.
Romney finally
elaborated some on what he means by “China is cheating”.
On a question about why companies have
been outsourcing jobs to China, especially a big name company like Apple,
Romney finally explained what he means when he runs ads that say “China is a
cheater”. He said that China artificially holds down the value of its currency
to make things cheaper, among other things. He said that China steals U.S.
patents and technology, as evidenced by the knock-off Apple stores that have
sprung up in the country recently. Those ads finally make sense to me.
3.
Obama outright
lied about how Arizona S.B. 1070 works.
Obama stood on stage last night
following a question on illegal immigration and told the entire country that
S.B. 1070 allows police to ask for someone’s papers if they just suspect that
the person may be an illegal alien. That is not how the bill works! For those
of us who have actually read and understand the bill, we all know that a person
must be stopped for committing an actual crime first. Once the police have
stopped the person for an actual crime, then they can ask for papers to prove
identification if they have reasonable belief the person may be an illegal.
4.
Answers on
contraception should give Romney a boost.
Romney said last night that he does not
want to cut access to contraception, birth control, etc. if he is elected
president. He is not going to let his personal religious beliefs affect the
government, which is smart and sensible. Of course Obama countered with his
overused rebuttal that Romney wants to cut funding for Planned Parenthood. As
I’ve previously said, Planned Parenthood is essentially a PAC; it donates to
political campaigns and makes campaign commercials. As such, Planned Parenthood
does not deserve federal funding! No group which actively campaigns for one
candidate or against another deserves federal funds. Planned Parenthood isn’t
the only group like this, they are just the most well known. The group has
plenty of other sources it can turn to for funding besides the federal government;
ironically Susan G. Komen is among them.
5.
Obama made
himself look stupid by continuing to cling to his fantasy Romney tax cuts for
the rich.
It is well proven by this point that
Romney’s tax plan is revenue neutral without raising taxes on anyone. It allows
for tax cuts for everyone in America. Six studies have now shown this. Yet
Obama said three times in the first debate and at least twice on Tuesday that
“the governor wants to give the rich a $5 trillion tax cut and raise taxes on the
middle class!” and various restatements of that. The one study Obama keeps
referencing in debates and in his commercials even shows Romney’s plan to be
revenue neutral. Just last week the authors of this study told the Weekly Standard that Obama was misusing
their study. They said that Romney’s plan works with no new taxes. Yet Obama
claims they said Romney would need to raise them. It’s time for Obama to shut
up on this one, but we all know he won’t. Look to see him bring it up again
Monday.
6. Obama YET AGAIN took credit for ending the Iraq War and for killing Bin Laden.
Look, I’ve beaten this one to death in
multiple blogs already and so have so many others in the credible media. Of
course no one on MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, or any of the networks seems to be too keen
on pointing out that Obama cannot take credit for either of these things.
7. Romney and his schools claim.
Now I’ve picked up on this, and so have
many of my friends, but that’s probably just because we’re all from Maryland
ourselves. Romney has claimed in both debates so far that Massachusetts has the
best schools in the nation. This title actually belongs to Maryland and has for
the past four years running. But hey, every candidate wants to make himself look
as good as possible and I’m sure that at some point every governor claims to
oversee the best school system in the nation. Just like I’m sure every governor
has at one point said their SAT scores are above the national average, a
statistical impossibility. And if that’s my only major pick about Romney, I
think we’re in good hands.

It's time for "Round 2"! Debate Preview!
It's time for round between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney. Tonight's debate will begin at 9 p.m. in the East and will be a town hall style meeting at Hofstra University. Candy Crowley will serve as the moderator. There will be segments on both foreign and domestic policy.
By this point we all know what happened in the first debate. Obama messed up big time and Romney has gotten a big boost in the polls over the past two weeks (even the ones with a huge liberal tilt). Here are some thing to look at tonight, especially seeing that foreign policy will now be on the table:
1. Obama will need to be more aggressive.
This is something that he has vowed to do, but no one is quite sure what exactly this will entail. He may take a "Joe Biden Route" tonight, which would include talking louder, being more disruptive, sneering even more than he did in the first debate and, of course, outright lying. Hey, it seemed to work for Joe!
2. The plays on Libya will be different based on last night's news.
It came out yesterday that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is taking "full responsibility" for what happened in Benghazi on September 11. From where I'm sitting, it looks like Clinton took the fall for the Obama Administration in an attempt to deflect pressure from the president on this issue. Should the opportunity for Romney to attack Obama on Libya come up, look for Obama to try and pass the blame onto the State Department. That's not how it should work at all, seeing as Obama oversees the State Department as part of his job and is still very much accountable for what happened, but the media has found its scapegoat now and look for the media to do all it can to help Obama on this issue.
3. Obama will use the bogus jobs report to tout his "success".
The jobs report released on October 5 is supposed to make it look like Obama is succeeding at getting people back to work. The fact of the matter is that the numbers just don't add up! Anyone should be able to see that. Of course just this morning, my economics professor told a class of about 400 students that anyone who thinks the BLS cooked the books for Obama is crazy. She's the crazy one for being so compliant and willing to accept what she is told, but I digress. Romney knows what's really going on, most of America knows what's really going on, but "I've gotten unemployment back under 8 percent as president" will probably be a line out of Obama's mouth tonight anyway.
4. Crowley will not be a fair moderator and should not be working this debate tonight.
Candy Crowley has numerous problems that should have prevented her from being the debate moderator this evening. First off, she has called the Romney ticket a "death wish". That by itself should be enough to disqualify her! Clearly she is biased against Romney and will more than likely moderate as such.If she is allowed to "moderate" at all that is! The contract signed by the campaigns stipulates that Crowley is to simply serve as what one might call a "mic holder", taking the questions from the audience without restating them, commented on them, or adding to them in any way. That is what the Romney and Obama campaigns have signed off on. However, Crowley went on CNN earlier today and said that is not what she will be doing at all. She promised to interject herself into the debate instead of just passing the mic off to people in the crowd. She's biased, she can't follow the rules of the debate, great choice! NOT.

VP Debate Preview
Last week's debate was very interesting indeed and shed a lot of light on how the General Election may shape up. However, tonight's Vice Presidential Debate between current Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan should not only prove to be informative and enlightening but could also be incredibly entertaining.
Joe Biden gifts of making gaffes and using racist or otherwise inappropriate jokes will be thrust once again into the national spotlight. He's already made a ton of mistakes in this election season ranging from implying that Mitt Romney and the GOP are slave masters to forgetting which state and century he was campaigning in to making sexually inappropriate jokes about high school cheerleaders.
This will be contrasted with the level-headed speaking abilities of Paul Ryan. Ryan has the ability to masterfully explain almost any subject and break it down into simplest terms for everyone. He has used these talents before to expose the Obamacare scam to President Obama's face, which is the major reason that is the only face-to-face meeting Ryan and Obama ever had. He also went out on stage in Tampa and made his acceptance speech for vice president without a teleprompter, according to reports.
With all that in mind, I'd like to make a few predictions for tonight:
1. Biden will lie big and lie frequently. Expect Ryan to go after him on that.
Last week's debate gave us the now famous Romney line, "Mr. President you are entitled to your own house and your own plane, but not to your own facts." Joe Biden will probably tout some of his own "facts" tonight, including his claim that the auto bail-out saved over 1 million jobs when there are only 700,000 jobs in the entire auto industry. Ryan will not be shy about calling Biden on those lies and he will slam Biden for them.
2. Biden will shoot himself in the foot by working in some sort of insensitive joke.
Biden just can't stay away from those jokes, his most recent being about how cheerleaders perform at basketball games (I'll leave you to figure that one out if you haven't already heard about it, it was incredibly inappropriate). Not only are these jokes highly insulting, they are embarrassing for Biden, if he even notices. Regardless of rather he notices or not, the American public will. And with around 70 million people expected to tune in tonight based on numbers from this same debate in 2008, those potential jokes will not go unnoticed.
3. Despite Biden taking 6 days off the campaign trail to prepare for this debate, Ryan will still win it and win big.
Simply put, Ryan is a way better speaker than Biden could ever hope to be, although Biden is known for being a good debater, a notion I really can't comment on seeing as most of Biden's national political career took place in the years before I was even born. Biden doesn't have any kind of positive record to run on and he lacks credibility, so expect him to try and make some credibility up. Ryan has a strong record of fiscal responsibility and he is clearly the more popular candidate going into this debate. I expect a big Ryan win and that the main stream liberal media will once again be beside itself as they try to break down the debate and make excuses for their man Biden.

Voting for the Voiceless
Today I saw a YouTube video shared on Facebook that speaks volumes about a demographic that always seems to get ignored: Those too young to vote.
That YouTube video, "Voices Without a Vote," can be viewed by clicking here.
Contrary to popular belief, young people do care about the electoral process and some of them care quite a lot, such as the young people featured in this video. When I was growing up, I was always involved in the political process, even though my friends would frequently ridicule me and tell me that "it didn't matter because I wasn't old enough to vote." Oh those few people couldn't have been anymore wrong.
As the teenagers appearing in the video point out, we who are of voting age now aren't just voting for the present, we are voting to set policy for years to come, to define the direction of America for years to come. It's always been that way, but the 2012 election is about that more than any other election in the history of this country. Although the left-wing media will never admit it, this election is not just Romney vs. Obama, this election is not change vs. status quo and this election is certainly not "two people, same choice" and third party candidates are trying to make people believe! No, this election is about self-reliance vs. government dependence and socialism. This election is about what made America great vs. what has brought Greece, Italy and Spain to their respective knees.
It is so reassuring to see young people who already know at such a young age what this election means for America. To me, it shows that maybe America still does have hope for the future, something I myself question at times when I see people blindly follow Barack Obama, something I question when I see the media outright lying and distorting the news that millions in this country consume.
I began writing political opinion pieces when I was 16. I helped on my first campaign in the fall of 2010 at the age of 17. And now as a 19-year-old, I find myself considering a run at a state-level seat as early as the next election cycle in 2014. The idea becomes more and more appealing almost every day. I and everyone reading this blog can only hope the teens who appear in this video are as politically active as they appear. I hope that some of them consider running for office and trying to make a real difference in this country. As America's youth, we are the future. We need to keep this country strong, we need to keep it fiscally sound, and we need independent citizens continuing to be self-reliant.

The Ignorance and Immaturity of the Left
UPDATE Tuesday, October 9th at 3:35 p.m. EDT:
INCREDIBLY Disturbing video has surfaced thanks to The Schilling Show, a talk show based in the state of Virginia, which shows Democrats gone absolutely insane defacing campaign signs, GOP property, etc. PLEASE BE WARNED that the language is extremely strong and there are VERY graphic images shown. So if there are younger eyes and ears that will be near by, please ask them to leave before viewing if you don't want them exposed:

ORIGINAL POST Monday, October 8th
Sorry for the delay in posts. I've been very busy the past week and things are finally calming down some.
Recently I've been noticing increased hatred and vitriol coming from those who call themselves members of the Democratic Party, Liberals, the "Left", etc. To be completely honest, I've always considered these people to be full of hate, but in this election cycle in particular it is has reached particularly disturbing levels and I can't believe it is considered to be acceptable behavior. Then again, when your party controls the White House and the media, it's not that hard to get away with.
Earlier this week on debate night, a Facebook "friend" (I've really started to notice I need to clean up my friends list as this is my second post dealing with "friends" on Facebook), posted a status in all caps saying she wished she could smack Romney in the face very hard. I questioned her on this point, asking if it was because Obama was getting his butt handed to him by Romney. She then spouted off random stuff about how Obama was great, but he's done great things like bring the troops home (lies, it was Bush who took care of that), and how he killed Osama Bin Laden (Really? I didn't know that Obama was in Pakistan that night pulling the trigger on an assault rifle.)
She then said Romney was still an "asshole". So I asked her if she could prove that, if she had evidence. She didn't and convienently ignored my prods. Sorry for the common and overused phrase coming up here but, typical liberal.
And just now, late on a Saturday night, I received a Facebook message from someone else I used to consider a friend. The message was a simple, two-word phrase: "F*** Romney" with no evidence to back up the claim. Really? That's very mature of you, sir.
These examples just compound an ever-growing issue we have in this country. People on the left are insensitive, immature and straight-up ignorant. They're entitled to have whatever opinions they want and they claim that we as Republicans and Conservatives are as well...so long as their opinions are treated as fact. I'm not the only one who has noticed this, am I?
We present logic, facts, etc. to reject affirmative action programs and we're "racist". We don't rush to support Barack Obama and we're "racist" and "full of hate". We voice support of traditional marriage and we're labeled as "hateful bigots". We stand up against funding for planned parenthood and we "hate women". And that's just a small sampling.
A group of school children sings a song praising Barack Obama and they're "Brilliant". Another girl sings, "MMM MMM MMMM! Barack Hussein Obama!" and she is labeled "Amazing". But when a 6-year-old and his family make a YouTube video with seven simple reasons to not vote for Barack Obama they're hateful, awful, and deserve to be shot, according to hundreds of liberals and haters on the left.
The contrast is stark and awful. Despite the attempts of numerous people to try and contradict me, without credible success I might add, Conservatives would never unleash the kind of hate you see from liberals and the left. We don't wish death upon Barack Obama and his family but the left does that to Mitt Romney and his family. We don't wish hate on people who are pro-choice and pro-gay marriage but the left issues death threats on Jane Pitt when she writes a letter expressing a pro-life, pro-traditional marriage viewpoint. I believe the children who made those pro-Obama songs have been brainwashed to the extreme as they've grown up and that they were too young to know what they were doing, but I don't think they should be shot and killed along with their families. Yet the left thinks that of a 6-year-old and his family.
Hmm, which party is the party of tolerance again? The choice is yours.

INCREDIBLY Disturbing video has surfaced thanks to The Schilling Show, a talk show based in the state of Virginia, which shows Democrats gone absolutely insane defacing campaign signs, GOP property, etc. PLEASE BE WARNED that the language is extremely strong and there are VERY graphic images shown. So if there are younger eyes and ears that will be near by, please ask them to leave before viewing if you don't want them exposed:

ORIGINAL POST Monday, October 8th
Sorry for the delay in posts. I've been very busy the past week and things are finally calming down some.
Recently I've been noticing increased hatred and vitriol coming from those who call themselves members of the Democratic Party, Liberals, the "Left", etc. To be completely honest, I've always considered these people to be full of hate, but in this election cycle in particular it is has reached particularly disturbing levels and I can't believe it is considered to be acceptable behavior. Then again, when your party controls the White House and the media, it's not that hard to get away with.
Earlier this week on debate night, a Facebook "friend" (I've really started to notice I need to clean up my friends list as this is my second post dealing with "friends" on Facebook), posted a status in all caps saying she wished she could smack Romney in the face very hard. I questioned her on this point, asking if it was because Obama was getting his butt handed to him by Romney. She then spouted off random stuff about how Obama was great, but he's done great things like bring the troops home (lies, it was Bush who took care of that), and how he killed Osama Bin Laden (Really? I didn't know that Obama was in Pakistan that night pulling the trigger on an assault rifle.)
She then said Romney was still an "asshole". So I asked her if she could prove that, if she had evidence. She didn't and convienently ignored my prods. Sorry for the common and overused phrase coming up here but, typical liberal.

These Men (and Women) They Call “Journalists” Part 2
Today I will continue with the
feature that I started last week about the intense media bias that clearly
favors Barack Obama and his campaign by touching on a few more topics in which
the media would like you to think one way, but the reality is starkly
different.
And what about Afghanistan, Mr. President? You promised that war would be ended within 16 months of your assuming the presidency. Now here were sit just over a month from the 2012 election and our troops won’t be leaving Afghanistan until 2014 at the earliest. Now more troops have died in Afghanistan under your watch than during Bush’s entire Presidency! Because of your inability to act, someone I consider to be one of my close friends was just recently sent over for a minimum 5 month tour of duty. One would think since Obama “ended” the combat in Iraq so efficiently that he’d be able to do the same in Afghanistan.
Mitt Romney is the one out of touch? Really? Mitt Romney has the plan to balance the budget, improve global trade and create 12 million new jobs in his first term. And that’s 12 million real new jobs, not the job record Obama wrongly claims to have. Mitt Romney isn’t the one who spends what seems like more time hanging with celebrities than he does running the country.
There may be one more part to this series depending on what develops this week, I’ll keep you all posted and thanks for reading!

Obama/Media
Claim:
As president, Barack Obama personally brought an end to the war in Iraq.
Reality: Barack Obama
did nothing to end the war in Iraq
that a different president, i.e John McCain, wouldn’t have also done. Obama ended the Iraq war on the exact
timetable that his predecessor, George W. Bush, established before he left
office. The Bush Administration
negotiated and signed a Status of American Forces (SOFA) with Iraq and signed
it near the end of Bush’s tenure in 2008.
An article in The Daily Beast explains this, the link for which can be
found below.
Yet
Obama goes on TV, goes to fundraisers, runs all across the country spiking the
football and claiming it was him who
ended the war in Iraq. That without him we would still be engaged in major
combat operations in Iraq. Mr. President,
you are a liar, and a big one at that.
But asking him to tell the truth is next to impossible these days.
And what about Afghanistan, Mr. President? You promised that war would be ended within 16 months of your assuming the presidency. Now here were sit just over a month from the 2012 election and our troops won’t be leaving Afghanistan until 2014 at the earliest. Now more troops have died in Afghanistan under your watch than during Bush’s entire Presidency! Because of your inability to act, someone I consider to be one of my close friends was just recently sent over for a minimum 5 month tour of duty. One would think since Obama “ended” the combat in Iraq so efficiently that he’d be able to do the same in Afghanistan.
Obama/Media
Claim: Mitt Romney is
out of touch. He knows nothing about the
problems of most Americans.
Reality: Yes, these
people really say that and imply that on a nearly daily basis. But last time I checked it was Barack Obama
who is absolutely in love with Hollywood and it is Barack Obama who out raises
Mitt Romney among people in Hollywood by an enormous margin. It was Barack Obama who just recently held a
massive fundraiser with Jay-Z and Beyoncé that pulled in millions. It is Barack Obama who goes on talk show
after talk show, avoiding hard hitting questions from the media at all costs.
Thanks
to Obama’s policies, this country faces the massive “fiscal cliff” come
January. Barack Obama told all of us to “tighten
our belts” and not take to go on vacations.
But he’s spent millions of dollars going on upscale vacations in Hawaii,
Martha’s Vineyard, etc. all on the taxpayer’s dime! Not to mention he’s gone golfing 104 times as
of September 14th! As a side
note, regardless of your opinion of George W. Bush, at least he owned his
ranch, which kept his travel costs way down.
Mitt Romney is the one out of touch? Really? Mitt Romney has the plan to balance the budget, improve global trade and create 12 million new jobs in his first term. And that’s 12 million real new jobs, not the job record Obama wrongly claims to have. Mitt Romney isn’t the one who spends what seems like more time hanging with celebrities than he does running the country.
