If lying is a sin then Mitt Romney’s Magic Mormon Underpants are on FIRE! How can any intelligent American vote for a man clouded in secrecy who habitually bends the truth? Income inequality is endangering the Middle Class and making paupers of us all who don’t have those millions upon millions of dollars. Read more about the role of Romney’s riches in this election and the power of his sacred undergarments at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/05/mitt-romneys-magic-mormon-underwear.html The working class of our country can’t AFFORD to allow this election to be bought and sold!

The working class can't afford another term from Obama. We need a president that understands business. We need an administration that will work together. Ramming a health care bill through without a clear mandate is proof that this president is only working for his agenda not the American People. Another term will balloon the deficit to a level that we won't be able to even pay the interest off let alone the principal. I feel sorry for the youth of this country if we continue on the Obama agenda.

Obama WILL help the middle class unlike the spoiled little rich brat Romney. He and lyin' Ryan only care about the oil companies and the rich. Robme and lyin' Ryan will destroy this country if they're given four years in the White House!!

Andrea, do you not realize that Obama is also rich? He also has a brother who lives in the slums of Kenya who is destitute. If he cared wouldn't he start with his brother? I know many people out of work and on food stamps that are hard working people who can't find a job that pays enough to get them off food stamps. What has Obama done for us. I am tired of the scare tactics the Democrats like to use, the proof is in actions. Under Obama things have gotten way worse than they were. Romney made his state much better off than before he was Governor.

While it wasn't a knock out, I think President Obama had the stronger showing. Romney seemed to be the one on the defensive more than Obama, and still wasn't able to offer specifics to his proposed tax policy, how he would reduce the deficit, and which programs other than PBS and planned parenthood he planned to cut, nor was he able to differentiate much of his agenda from that which is already occurring under the Obama administration.

If taking away the middle class deductions of charitable donations, education, child care, etc. are going to be replaced with not being taxed on savings interest, you can tax the entire $1.91 I earned in interest on my savings account!!! Romney has no idea what the middle class makes or how they live their loves paycheck to paycheck.

No reason for name calling as there are plenty of facts to compare. Romney has a history, proven with the successes he has had in business and government. The President has had asuccessful history of............?

Romney is a dum ass don't know shit but how to lie and don't care about the middle class . Obama cares and he has done things to get the country back in order. The man needs time like he said before the election it might take 2 terms........ bush missed up the country and Obama is trying to fix it
