I still don't understand what the point is of starting the thread.

It's like a train wreck of throughts.

The article? I didn't want to post it in it's entirety but got most of it. Perhaps it's clearer if you read it at the link.

I read it. It's pointless. Why did you post it?

I'm sick of hearing 8 million lefty commercials saying Obama saved the auto industry?

What is wrong? Romney not keeping up with his ads? Obama has 88 re-election centers as opposed to Romney's 36. Is he giving up there like he has in Michigan? Why don't you move to Indiana or Kentucky so you can live in a red state. Look on the bright side the witch from Delaware can run in 2016....

Oh. OK.

The auto industry bailout totalled what, maybe $96B. Bush spent $18B of that against his party's wishes.

Now his party has gone bat shit crazy and is grabbing at straws, so they argue that Bush should get all the auto industry credit simply for spending 18/96th of the bailout money.

It's obviously fluff to keep feeble minds engaged.

Ice, even better is the ads Obie's running on kids radio (pop and r&b/rap). He says, don't you want to own a home? Pay off your student loans? Live in a fair world? (I don't remember exact quotes, but that's what he's sayin')...

When he says his 'keep moving forward. Can't move backward' statement you can hear the midwest in 'backward'. It's kinda neat.

So, Bush is the visionary, and Obama an administrator?

Indeed. It is seemingly part of the same old chit whereby everything successful that Obama has done was actually Dubya's doing (including killing bin Laden) and everything that is less successful is solely Obama's fault.

It gets tiring hearing this sort of spinning silliness. I guess when your candidate is Romney/Ryan, what else do you have?

Was that a question or a statement? I do empathize with all of you in the swing states but just use the mute button if you don't want to hear it. You'll make yourself Bachmanized listening to all of those adverts, Pete. or as some wag advised me yesterday- go outside, get some exercise and fresh air...talk to your SO.
