If #4, major conflict as in #3. Romney will accomplish little of his agenda.

If #5, gridlock like we've had the past two years, but some progress. With a different leader in the WH, some new things will get done, but not on the scale Romney would like.

If #6, many changes will happen. The "I like to fire people" plan will come together, and the 12,000 new hires for the Feds will cease, and many explosions in Fed employment of the past years will be burst with a debris field. There will be lots of other changes in regulations and taxation policy.

My expectation is #2 will be the outcome. Gridlock, but the economy will move because of the inherent cycles. Obama will take credit, spending will increase, taxes will rise, and businesses will continue to sit on the uncertainty and stifling effects of the Feds. I am prepared for a couple more years of stagnation.

Alex, your assertion falls apart when you fail to realize that not all businesses involve products.

Roger

6:52 am on Friday, September 7, 2012

Alex, your assertion falls apart when you fail to realize that not all businesses involve products.

I am fully aware of that, but it is the manufacturing sector that is the backbone of this country.

Alex, I guess it was all of the then-Senator Obama's experience in private enterprise that qualified him for election in 2008. It was his experience in creating a product vision, developing products, gathering resources and technology for manufacturing, developing sales and marketing strategy, and creating distribution channels. Am I right?

Yes, I cannot wait to hear what experience Obama had .... if he has ever stated it ... I must have missed that one.

You all seem to be missing the point:
Romney keeps promoting himself as a businessman who knows how to create jobs.
Barack Obama is not promoting himself as such.

Susan, why?

Why do people out there decide who they will vote for by what some pseudo celebrity thinks or says who they like? God, I don't need my Ambien when Caroline Kennedy starts to talk. And Michael More? What a hypocrite. He hates capitalism but he was able to make millions because of capitalism. People ..... do your own research, read, ask questions. Whether you vote for Obama or Governor Romney .. do not do it because someone like Eva Longoria tells you to do so ... think for yourself.

Susan, your reply is very confusing. Endorsements mean nothing, so that part can be discarded.

The part about the 1% is important. Your statement is in the form of a question, perhaps rhetorical. But, it implies that you dislike the notion of the wealthier getting more wealth. No, you don't say that, but the words seem to convey this is what you are meaning.

If this to be the case, then you are contradicting yourself. Under the Obama policies, the people of wealth have become wealthier. Why? Because they do not wish to invest their money into the capital markets, so have hung on to cash. Would you want to invest into the capital markets now? Uncertainty and lack of direction from the Feds have left these folks with little choice but to hang to their cash.

So, if you want more of Obama, and yet dislike those of means to gain more wealth, then you need to provide a reconciliation of those positions. As stated, they are contradictory.

You may have an explanation, so let's hear it, please. Thanks.

Founding fathers desired the most experienced candidates to serve and go home,
Street organizer with limited senate experience is not the best, experienced and brightest.
Romney will show his tax returns when Obama shows his college records.
If moving forward and compromising is what is making socialist Europe & Greece decline, no thanks.
Romney has clearly stated his first five priorities in his acceptance speech, those are his specific goals.
Our country will move forward when we have our fiscal house in order, not 16 trillion in debt and growing without any change.

Victoria, please give us three things that information from Romney's tax returns that are important in making a decision about being President, just three.

You already have information about his recent tax returns. What information in those returns is important to you, and why?

Yes, please provide three reasons, or even one, as to why Romney's tax returns are so bloody important. Will we discover that donation of old clothes to Vietnam Veterans in 2007 was inflated by $ 100??
Or do you want to bemoan the income shown on his 1040?
We know, of course, that no Democrats are in the awful " 1%", right? Why, George Soros, Warren Buffett, Oprah, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, et.al., donate all their income to charity, right?
Wow, Mitt's earned a lot of money; quelle horreur!

Victoria I heard the the Romney tax returns were with Obama birth certificate and college records

I can say that, Me, because Obamacare has already helped me. And not by taking anyone's taxes, by regulating the health care industry. Yes, I would agree, people over 70 would not need any sort of health insurance buy-in program via Obamacare because they would be on medicare/medicaid and covered. Obamacare has nothing to do with SS or what is in place for the elderly. No, a panel will not decide treatment, you can't believe anything fox news pumps out there. Here is another link to a post you obviously need to read:

http://beforeitsnews.com/culture/2012/08/obamacare-8-myths-about-health-care-reform-2435050.html

Yes, I know what it is like to try and talk to people who don't do any research for themselves and only get bits of misinformation from groups with a hidden agenda, like right now!

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says President Obama's plan to overhaul health care is evil. "Downright evil." She used Facebook to reveal her thoughts on the debate. The former Republican vice presidential candidate made her her first online comments since leaving office, and according to a report by the Associated Press she said in the "Facebook posting that he would create a "death panel" that would deny care to the neediest Americans."
Obama Care - Sarah Palin Calls Health Plan 'Evil' (Image: WENN)
Obama Care - Sarah Palin Calls Health Plan 'Evil' (Image: WENN)

"And who will suffer the most when they ration care?" Palin asks in her online argument against the policy. "The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama�s 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."

***

I don't have my head in the sand like you do

Quoting Palin isn't helping your cause. She doesn't tell the truth, she just gets her rhetoric out there to get herself on tv. Please show me proof, with an unbiased article, link to a video, anything. She is not expert or even has a basic grasp on it. Call it what you like, but if you start calling me names because I don't agree with you, I will report you.

LOL, you don't think Palin is telling the truth but believe that obama is. he said he wouldn't run if he didn't fix this country in 4 years so why is he running again. obama has destroyed this country in 4 years, but us in debt almost 7 trillion and his first term isn't even finished yet.

obamacare is a joke with his comfort care, if your 70 or older, they will give you meds to make you comfy and not treat your illnesses, same if you have a disability and have a disabled child. we need obamacare gone now.

Marsha says, "... I think as a given nobody can enter the position of president, inherit all of the problems, the deficit, the screwed up budget, the opposing sides, the disgruntled people and the mess the country is in expecting that in a mere four years that he or she can undo all of the damage. ..."

Clearly, you did not live the recent history of the transition from the Carter Administration to the Regan Administration. Consider inflation rates, interest rates, unemployment rates, as a start point. Then look at the same information when Regan was asked to be returned for four years.

I think you took in the statement of Pres Clinton, hook, line and sinker. I consider Bill Clinton to be very good leader, but I had to wonder what he was thinking with his statement that you echo here. Yes, it made for great conventions rhetoric, but was just plain wrong.

When comparing Obama to Clinton with regard to leadership, there is no match. Clinton was the master at triangulation, something people chuckled about at the time. But, he was successful in getting things moving, unlike the current Administration.

Nice try Marsha, but you either didn't live through the era, or haven't read the history books. Time to regroup and develop your position on another platform.

The lesser of the two evils is Romney and I hope he gets in office. He said he won't take a Salary and will pay for his own vacations and golf outings. obama's have wasted a trillion on their own personal gains, million dollar vacations paid for by the Citizens of The United States so that michelle can take her daughter and 40 personal friends on a 4 day vacation in Spain. ALL PAID FOR BY THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES, PRIVATE USE OF 2 AIR FORCE 1 PLANES (suppose to be used to transport the President) to where he suppose to be, not take wifey and friends on a vacation. Lets not forget flying their dog to their vacation spot on his own Air Force One Plane.

Even if Governor Romney would take this election you know we will keep hearing Obama's name. We will have problems because there will be those out there who say it is racist or that it was unfair because voters had to show identification or something stupid.

I am an independent. I look at all the candidates. If I think that the candidate earned my vote I will vote for he or she. Right now Governor Romney is who I am voting for. I think we gave Obama enough time and he himself said that he would be a one term president if he did not do what he said he would while he ran and after he was elected. Time now for some change .... just saying what the democrats said 4 years ago. Time for a change. In four years, if President Romney isn't doing the job, it will be time for a change again.

I hope you leave this page and I never have to read your stupid comments.
Sara

Really, Sara......really??? What are you, 12 years old? Everyone is entitled to an opinion...and I happen to agree with cc.

Sara why don't you leave the pages if you don't like what people have to say. The first two Amendments says it all Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Press. I myself don't like how some Democrats are so winded in what they post, put up half of articles to make themselves seem smart but actually if they would go and finish reading the articles they post they would find out that their information has no meaning.

ml your one of the ones that I have to laugh at your comments. You think you are so smart but you contradict yourself on so many post it isn't funny. cc is entitled to what she post and if you don't like it then skip over what she writes. I just get a kick out of all the lies that you post.

Nazy it is you who is the child because someone stole your sucker It is you democrats that post false imformations and believe that obama is a savior. Sorry I do know what the amendments mean, it is you who do not know what they mean.

Jean, you lost me.

I am not a democrat.

Are you trying to say the constitution is about the government being allowed to impede on our rights? I can't believe you are saying that, it is the basis of our country.

The informations I put on my posts are facts, not made up in my head, like yours, Jean. Please stick to agreed upon facts. Seems when reality hits you in the face, everyone ELSE is child.

What sucker did I lose? I don't think Obama is a savior, I think the guy is good at his job.

Jon, did you happen to watch the NASCAR race last night.

"The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught." Isa 29:16

And, some contend that we are living in an era of enlightenment, that we know life so much better now than in 725 BC. Nothing on the basics of mankind has changed. The message of 2700 years ago remains true today.

Nazsy H, there are jobs here in Pittsburgh, but when you got 50 people applying for 1 job how many do you think are going to be hired. Did you not read articles this past week on people who gave up on looking for work because there are no jobs out there. Plus the Unemployment in this country just went up again, not down as you say.

Nazy says: "... Where were you when Bush was in office, where people lost jobs every day, he deregulated the stock market causing a huge crash ...."

Sorry, Nazy, ... Glass-Steagall was repealed in 1999, when Clinton was in office. This was the demise, not regulations during the 2000s being relaxed. Nothing in Dodd-Frank covers the transactions of 2008 leading to the demise of the large banks. D-F provided the opportunity to cover the matters, but did not.

Nice try about "God" and the RNC, but it does not work. Choosing to ignore the obvious reference shows you either do not understand the basic Bible lesson,or want to mislead by intent. Nobody has a corner on that market, either (D) or (R), but (D) certainly brought the principle to the surface with their platform discussion.

Yes, when Bush was in office, until January, 2008, people lost jobs daily. Fact. Bush deregulated the financial industry while in office. Fact. The financial meltdown happened on Bush's watch. Fact.

I am not being misleading, just using the info posted in the context of reality. And as you can see, it is silly and a terrible reason to follow someone who might have a very large impact on your life. I don't need to read the Bible to love God, thanks Roger.

Nazy says, "... I don't need to read the Bible to love God ..."

OK, that means you believe in natural revelation. Natural revelation is a great thing, but says nothing to the issue of eternal destiny. Remember the Bible says, "... even the demons believe in God ...."

The Bible is God's message to man, His message of salvation and redemption of mankind. To "love God," yet reject His plan for mankind is a contradiction. To "love God," your first desire would be to be obedient to His commands and His ways. Your statements make zero sense.

Failure to read the Bible and yet "love God" are two ideas that don't fit, for anybody.

Re: Stability during the Bush Administration.

In 2007, the Dow was 14,000 and the unemployment rate was 4.5%. The unemployment rates and bank practices had been in place for several years before 2008. Yet, I did not hear much concern about unemployment rates, nor banking practices.

If all these assertions of bad practices, lack of regulations, etc. are so bad, where were the detractors from 2000 to early 2008?

Nazy, again another nice try, but no cigar on this one either. You have either been out of the country, or living under a rock to believe the lack of investment. Perhaps you need to begin reading the financial section of the newspapers, watching the business channels on TV, or listening to business-related radio programs.

I think that your statements put you in the group that believes businesses exist for the purpose of giving people employment.

Why would anybody making money in business or in the financial markets invest in new business, or expansion at this time? Would you? [Same question has been asked repeatedly in these threads, and never gets an affirmative answer -- "OK, for others to invest, putting their money at risk, but not OK for me."]

Do you know the unemployment rate and the values of the financial markets in 2007?

I posted the story below, Roger, and I didn't find it under a rock. Maybe your rock is so dark and cozy you think everyone else lives there too! We don't.

No, I own a business, my main goal with working is making money. I do that by helping businesses succeed and when they do better, wait for it, I get more MONEY! Hand in hand, not one or the other.

Investing in new business and expansion is how we create more jobs and grow our economy, the entire discussion on this article. All the republicans point to joblessness but now you say, Roger, why would anyone expand and add jobs? Which way do you want it? Expand and add jobs or not expand and get the jobless rate down?

Why would I want or care to know that in 2007? Those were false numbers, since to get those numbers, we had to risk everything, and SPOILER ALERT - we lost it.

Victoria, those are primarily reasons for being nosy, not gaining useful information.

How many times have politicians been caught by the IRS when they come to the front as a candidate, or as an appointee? Several people that Pres Obama appointed to Cabinet posts because immediate exposures (Tim Geithner comes to mind quickly). The pattern is that these folks become targets of deep scrutiny. Do you think that you can be better at detecting tax irregularities than the IRS? If so, please apply to the IRS for an investigator so flush out those who circumvent the tax codes. We all will thank you.

So what if he pushes the envelope? I utilize provisions of the tax code for all my tax planning. I pay people money to advise me how to manage my finances to dovetail with what the code provides. I am one of many that makes these folks an industry. A deduction is a deduction. Some who have disdain for deductions call them "loopholes" (one regular poster on this board has talked at length about closing loopholes, but is unable to define a loophole).

You, and the others who try to make an issue out of tax returns, are really stretching for a reason to dislike Romney. There are lots of reasons I do not like his plans, but not releasing tax returns is not even on the radar.

Tax returns say little about where anybody has money invested. If you think this to be false, then you know little about investing and tax codes.

Nazy I'm glad you don't know anyone that doesn't have a job, but there are a lot of Americans that don't. We are fortunate to live in a state that has jobs but lots of other States do not have enough jobs for people to work.

What kind of TV do you own, Jean?
And where were your shoes made?

NE12Ukid My shoes are American made, and the last TV that I purchased was made in the United States. It is about 15-20 years old and when it goes then that is when I will purchase a new tv. My kids laugh because it is a big heavy balky set, but it still works and won't though it away till it dies and can't be fixed any more.. Granted you can't get everything made in the USA but I try to buy 90% or better of American made products.

Nazy H, why don't you go look at the pay rate for all of these manufacturing jobs that you are bragging about 7.25 to 8.75 an hour with no benefits. Most companies now go though employment agencies to fill these positions and until their contract is up with the employment agency they are entitled to no benefits nor does the time with the company count for anything. Most people do not want to find a job from an employment agency for this reason. It is cheaper for Manufactures to use employment agencies for this purpose and they end up keeping very few people that were hired.

Nazy, you are right about jobs open, but cannot be filled.

From the articles you posted, plus observations of mine from private discussions and other media sources:

1. The mindset of our nation is "college education gets you a good job." Well, that used to be the case, but not so much in the past few years. Far too many people think they want a "desk job," so ignore the technically, trade-related jobs. Students believe they need to be on a college campus (and their parent also, in many cases), rather than going to trade school to learn something useful, to be employed immediately. In other words, we have lost an appetite for doing skilled work, and our education system is falling short.
2. As one of the articles pointed out (2nd?), many applicants can't get through the first phase of the process. They don't fill out the application (8 pages was apparently too much), can't pass the drug test, or otherwise don't care to work at getting the jobs. I personally know of employers with stats similar to quoted: 100 applicants, 50% can't pass drug test, 25% can't get driver's license, and others who can't show up for an interview when asked. Ten (of the 100) are left, three are selected, and two don't bother to show up on the first day of work. The hiring process is expensive, so employers really need to ask themselves "is it worth is?"

3. Unemployment benefits are a discouraging part of people being interested in working. As one of the articles said, "... why should I work, when I still have X weeks left on my unemployment benefits." Personally, I know extended family members who have worked only a few months out of the last 48 months, "... easier to stay at home and collect." Shame on them! I have also know others who have no interest in even looking, until their stream of benefits is running out. Yes, they will make one meager attempt, get a sign-off that they have looked, so that the benefit stream will continue. These are able-bodies folks, but just too lazy, knowing they will get some money rolling in the door. Now that 1/8% of our population is getting food stamps, we have a mindset well established.

I have given employment leads to many of the unemployed folks over the past couple of years. My suggestions are usually discarded, because "it isn't in my field." Hogwash!!!

4. Our work ethic has been severely depleted, as a country. There is way too much to say, so will spare anybody still reading. This is no secret.

I agree with you Roger. Sometimes you post real information with real arguments that back it up, and other times you go off on your own tangent. What gives?

I hope we can agree, Jean, that the definition of a job is work that someone else pays you for. Then what I describe in facts above, are JOBS.

Are you trying to say with your post, "ok, you got me, these are jobs but we can't count them as REAL jobs until I personally deem the amount of money to be acceptable and they get free health insurance." Because that is what I am hearing. And someone who is on unemployment that wants to work would jump at the chance to start by making anything above $0. The health insurance issue will be less important now that Obamacare is going forward. So that shouldn't hold back anyone from taking a JOB. Any job if they don't have one.

So you are saying you would have 8+% unemployment for the country until "special, great" jobs can be had by all, and no one has to go through an employment agency?? Really, that is a lot of complicated restrictions, I guess that is why our country can't get anything straight.

Nazy I hope that Romney gets in office and tossed obamacare where it belongs in the garbage. Or if he does keep it makes everyone pay for their own healthcare as it should be. Why I want obama gone is not because of his color, it is because of his entitlement, that people think they should be handed their healthcare on a silver platter. I don't want to be paying for your birth control or for you to get an abortion. There are jobs out there and people don't want to work for minimum wage or close to it. Kids coming out of college want jobs making 50,000 or more a year so they can pay off student loans. It is people like you that has turned me off of obama with their entitlement.

Nazy:I hope we can agree, Jean, that the definition of a job is work that someone else pays you for. Then what I describe in facts above, are JOBS. Are you trying to say with your post, "ok, you got me, these are jobs but we can't count them as REAL jobs until I personally deem the amount of money to be acceptable and they get free health insurance." Because that is what I am hearing.>>>

Maybe that is what Jean is trying to say, but sounds more like partisanspeak to me. Had the same jobs appeared under Bush or Romney chances are they'd pass her litmus test.

obummer only has one person's interest at heart his own. He does not care about anyone but himself and blowing the TAX PAYERS money in Trillions on nothing. Lets see, he wanted solar power and that flopped. He is trying to destroy Coal Mines and lost the support of the Unions, obummer has alienated a ton of people. No wonder you and your husband have to work 2 job each under obama. Things in the Unites States were so much BETTER when Republicans are running the Whitehouse. I will pray for you. obummer 2012 on a plane to kenya where he belongs.
Romney/Ryan 2012 where Americans will do so much better.

What about Bush, Jean? He started a very big, huge ball rolling with the debt, not Obama. You might check the interwebs to see that Bush is the big winner there.

http://www.thefoldblog.com/2011/12/no-president-added-more-debt-than-bush.html

We don't work two jobs because of Obama, it is because we have 2 disabled children and because of the amount of time away from work to deal with my children, fight our school district to follow laws, I cannot focus on my business and make our money the way we had before. And to add to it, Corbett is adding a Disability Tax to our bill.

That's right, we get to pay the Disability Tax this November! Corbett is calling it "copays" which means we will pay hundreds of dollars equal to our mortgage payment or more, each month. This is on top of the health care we already pay that is equal to our mortgage, so it is like owning 3 houses and in return getting disabled children and only 1 house to live in.

We are lucky neither of them are severely disabled, or we would get to pay 5% right off the top of your annual income, a TAX/punishment for having given birth to children who need help.

Corbett 2012: Making sure disabled children become disabled adults so they can earn disability instead of a paycheck.

Nazy where once did Jean say that she didn't want obama in office because he was bi-racial. You were the first one to bring it up. She has valid points on why she doesn't want him back in office as you do. But you slander everyone that doesn't like your way of thinking. This is 2012, people don't care about color anymore, but you think because someone won't vote for him that they are doing it because they are black. Get Real.

The President's last name is Obama. Have some respect for the office of the President and some pride in the fact that you're an American.

poor nazy is just like ml, thinks they are right about everything yet they are so far out in left field.

I am not the one who is right, I am the one who understands facts and uses them! Please, don't believe me because I am awesome, do some research before spouting off Jean!

But i guess nothing you have said matters, the bottom line is you won't vote for a black guy.

Nazy what goes for me too............

What goes for me too...........

lol jon, love when you talk in Pittsburgese

"hightened"

America is divided between those who can spell and piece together an intelligent sentence and those who cannot.

That is a typo, Mikey. The sentence is intelligent. The critic.....................?

Mark - The critic thinks everyone should focus on the content of what they're saying, along with the spelling and grammar.

And you're completely wrong about President Obama's so called strategy. It is a Conservative fantasy, nothing more.

No one has unified conservatives like Obama. For that I am grateful.

Robert I agree with you there and so does others that when people don't like obama because he is a lousy president were racist. We need Leadership back to running the Unitied States and not a social planner. This is why we need Romney/Ryan in office

With rights come responsibilities. Citizens should always respect the office of the President of the United States, regardless of who holds the office.

Of course, you won't be prosecuted for disrespecting the office of the President of the United States. However, just because something is legal doesn't make it proper behavior.

Until obama produces a TRUE Birth Certificate, his college records and everything else he has hidden and now trying to place into law a bill that will seal his records for every. I hope the Next Republic that gets into office exposes obama for what he is a Fraud and he ends up going to jail for all of his lying that he has done to get elected in 2008, because we will find out he wasn't a True American Born Citizen of the United States and that he came to Colleges in the United States as a foreign exchange student.

The President's last name is Obama. Have some respect for the office of the President and some pride in the fact that you're an American.

Amanda Gilooly, I really think if your going to remove remarks then you need to remove some of ml and nazy h as those two are on the attack of people who express their opinions and then get called liars for what they post. If you remove one person's remarks then please remove the others. I normally don't write on these but love to read them, but they cry babies remarks always get to stay.

Amanda thank you for removing those attacks from 2 people on here. It is a shame in this day and age how people attack others yet they can't take it when they are attacked back. I would love to see Nazy H comments removed when he is calling people racist because they won't vote for obama, and no one on this tread had said they would not vote for him because of the color of his skin. I don't think anyone really cares what color our President in, but people do care if he was purple.

Nazy why I say to put obummer on a plane back to Kenya is because I don't believe his birth certificate that he put out last year. Most don't believe it is a true birth certificate beings that he was born in a hospital that didn't exist till 2 years after he was born. It also listed on his birth certificate that he was African yet back in the 60's the were using the term Negro (no offense to anyone). Why isn't he releasing any medical and school records is because he came to school in the United States as a Foreign Exchange Student. That is why I want him shipped back to Kenya as that is where he was born and raised Even legal experts say his birth certificate is a fraud. He also wants all of his records sealed after he leaves the White House and trying to sign legislation to that fact. I hope when Romney gets in office he exposes obummer to the fraud he is. I am not the only one that calls him obummer, I got this term from a Dean down at Pitt that teaches Political Sciences as he is a big disappointment.

I don't believe you, Jean. I find your post inappropriate and has nothing to do with who will win the election, and only strengthens my argument about your ulterior motives for voting for Romney.

nazyh i don't believe anything that you post so who cares if you don't like what Jean Smith post. At least she is using her real name, unlike you hiding under nazyh. We all don't like what others post or agree with them. Guess What, your the one that brought up the race card no one else did and everyone is entitle to speak.

nazy h then all your comments should be flagged to be removed as they are inappropriate to others.

Nazy H
9:01 am on Thursday, September 13, 2012
I don't know why the Patch writes these articles and then flags everyone.

They don't flag everyone, they erase certain ones. Several of cc posts had to be erased recently, and rightly so. Also the writers themself can "delete" so to speak, which is what some do when things get out of control and they prefer not to be associated with it, or when a simple error is made and one hits that send button too fast. While I applaud the removal of some of those remarks, you are correct that ad hominem attacks from JeanSmith still remain. Some of us will continue to flag those and hope ms Gilhooly gets to those.
When you read the way a school board member speaks in public its no wonder some of these posters go a bit crazy at the keyboard, eh?

Adding, the names mentioned are examples, which must be acceptable as MattA did it several times above and has not been erased.

where does Jean say that she wants obama shipped back to kenya because his father is black???? would it make a difference if she said Japan, Mexico, Canada, South America, Italy, England, Spain. She did not state to send him back to Kenya because he was black, and do we know for a fact that all of Kenya is black, that there isn't white people living in Kenya

"The People of Kenya, Social Issues

The social structure that evolved in Kenya during colonial times emphasized race and class. The dominance of whites over blacks was reinforced through segregation of the races and, within the black African population, of the various ethnic groups. Within each ethnic group, status was determined largely by wealth. After Kenya gained independence in 1963, race ceased to be an important indicator of social status, but wealth and ethnic identity remained significant. Today, a number of Kenya’s problems result from disparities in wealth. These problems include pervasive urban and rural poverty, overcrowded and substandard housing in urban areas, and a relatively high rate of unemployment. In the 1990s the country also witnessed periodic clashes between ethnic groups, particularly between Kalenjin and Kikuyu peoples in west central Kenya.

Tropical diseases, including malaria, have long been a public health problem in Kenya. http://www.countriesquest.com/africa/kenya/the_people_of_kenya/social_issues.htm

Well, I am certain you are beaming with pride how the Unifier in Chief has been doing this last past 3 ½ years. To be honest, a week a go I hope he lost – I think now I’d like him to win. I have an 18 year old nephew and his inclination was to vote for BHO but he is taking some economic classes and is starting to think about the job market he will face in 4 years. We have a legitimate shot of watching the Democrat “brand” go into a death spiral for the next 20 years. If that is the case, then let the Dems through – let’s watch them blow up on their own.

It's " elicit", not illicit.

That's sad that a typo is all you got out of my postings. No America is in the state it is in, no one sees the big picture!
