Most of the people I meet who are on unemployment are people who have had jobs for 25 years, lost them; they've been knocking on doors every week.
Mitt Romney's only bottom line is the one at the end of his own bank statement. The problem is that he confuses his own narrow, self-interest - and that of people like him - with the national interest. He thinks as long as we do right by the Mitt Romneys of the world, America will be just fine.
The Tea Party people are ideologues. They are right, and no one can change their minds. There is no reason for compromise.

But there is a reasonable danger that he will be like Justice Thomas, the most radical justice on the Supreme Court. It is not that I am certain that he will be a Thomas, it's not even that it's more than 50 percent, but the risk that he might be a Thomas and the lack of any reassurance that he won't, particularly in light of this president's professed desire to nominate people in that mold, is just not good enough. I hope he will not be a Justice Thomas but the risk is too great to bear.

I take her at her word, but I certainly would like to know more about these phone conversations,
Middle class people, I think they realize that Romney is not for them because of his narrowness, but they want to make sure that Barack Obama is focused on them with things that will make a difference. They know he tried, but they also know that it didn't do as well as they would have liked.
The 2014 election was not a repudiation of government in general.
The president realizes that the views of the extreme right wing of his party are not the views of the American people, ... And for the second time in a row, he's sent us a nominee who we really don't know that much about.
The president ought to do his own internal investigation of the vice president's office, to see what happened, set some standards and if need be take the vice president to the woodshed,
To those who say ideology doesn't matter, they should take their argument to President Bush.
