  • Politics are a financial disgrace

    Ted Koppel said this morning on the Today show that Obama will be spending $1 BILLION dollars and Romney will have $800 MILLION invested.

    No wonder our economy is in the crapper when we need to spend almost $2 Billion on political campaigns.

      ...

      And yet the Obama campaign and press is trying to question whether Romney is too rich to be in touch with the average joe. Obama is spending more than Romney.

          Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

          You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

            I'm not a fan of Obama nor am I a fan of Romney for that matter, but what you're saying doesn't make sense.

            Their campaigns aren't funded by personal wealth. Romney could probably buy Obama forty times over. *No pun intended*

              Think about what's already been spent on the primaries and what the superPACs will spend too.

              Don't forget those 535 in congress. Relatively it doesn't cost that much to raid the taxpayer's wallet.

                  I realize that they aren't funding it themselves. Still, they have no problem spending other peoples money to buy their election. Obammmy's media wants to try to draw a line between Romney and the voters, saying Romney can't relate to the common man because he is too wealthy, yet Obammy and his family spent millions of the taxpayers' dollars to go on family vacations and spring break. Talk about a disconnect from the voters.

                    one 1000 million is chump change

                    Obama is giving 1500 million to the muslin brotherhood. for real



                    oh and the American news media says nothing about this.

                    By the way, the airforce has ask pilots to fly slower and higher to save fuel, the estimated extra cost of fuel due the the oil prices for the airforce is 1 billion dollars. (1000 million dollars)
                    Don't worry about what you can't change.
                    Do the best you can with what you have.
                    Be honest, even if it hurts.

                      Just say, "billion," dude. It's easier than saying, "1000 million."
