Why do so many Republicans really hate Obama?

Those efforts are paying dividends with negative views that originated from these hate filled diatribes that run 24/7 on AM radio on FOX news 24/7. Unfortunately, many of our friends and neighbors who are not politically informed hear these rants and after 4 years they come to the conclusion that 'this must be true' whether it's a birther issue, Kenyan, Socialist, Muslim . . . .whatever but this campaign has been underway from the get go and that explains much of the vitriol that lingers in the minds of other voters creating the air of distrust and then disregard the qualifications or lack thereof of his opponent (Romney). It is disgraceful but it is what it is.

There was a constance drum beat of negativity before he got elected because we dont subscribe to his type of governing. you know , the gov has the answer to all type.

The negativity goes both ways unless your a complete fucking idiot that cant see all the negative ads coming from this moron odummer.

OBAMA HAD NO QUALIFICATIONS TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

what in the hell had he done?

there is no way in HELL the left would have let slip all the types of associations that obama had such as 20 years in a black theology racist church, or dealings with anti american radicals who blew up the pentagon. I could go on but this would have been enough to make sure our candidate didnt succeed in a honest run for the highest office in the nation.

matter of a fact. we wouldnt have put someone out there with his background. It really is in-defensable.

When will you stop believing gossip and false accusations?

You're joking right? What drumbeat of negativity? For over four years he has had all TV and print media pushing his agendas. People have come to see through all the smoke and mirrors.

As for being a Marxist/Communist/Socialist, simply look at the people closest to him, his self avowed mentors. Even he told us that we should judge him by the people with whom he surrounded himself. I believed him as did many others. You did not do as he asked and more and more people are realizing the truth.

When will you?

When will you stop believing gossip and false accusations? You would have made a good Joe McCarthy.

Most people in this country don't have the mindset you and your ilk have.They are intelligent and informed people who judge people by their character not what someone else did 20 years ago. In fact, most of the country view people like you in this area as some of the most ignorant and backwards people to exist. Granted there are intelligent and sophisticated people in this area but the majority are not.

he was in rev wrights church right up till he ran for election. rev wright baptized his daughter. and as far as bill ayers bloing up the pentagon, yes, I think thats big enough to hold onto for more than 20 years. bill ayers veiws hasnt changed, hes still a radical just like obama. they just found another way to change this country.

and I dont know about you, but everybody around me, work or home life all veiw me as a very inteligent person of whom they love to conversate with on a variety of subjects.

I stick by what I said. theres no way republicans could have gotten away with running a man for prez with all the stuff in his background, crooks, terrorist freinds, racist preacher, admitted communist grand parents, muslim fathersat a time when we are in a war against radical islam.

it really is a sick joke someone played on us. Hopefully they got thier laugh and will let us elect a real president now.

CA debt much larger than reported

May 29, 2012

By Katy Grimes

Reports of California’s debt usually just include the $17 billion budget deficit. But California also owes the federal government $14 billion, and public schools $10 billion.

While California sputters under the massive debt, legislators continue to take up ridiculous bills and resolutions, and ignore bills which would begin necessary reforms.

Last week the Assembly voted to adopt Assembly Resolution 99 recognizing September 2012 as National Coupon Month. ACR 99 by Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, D-Sylmar, “would acknowledge the value of coupons in achieving significant savings for California consumers.”

How much is California in debt?

California Debt Revised Upwards

As we reported earlier today, California’s cities are going bankrupt left and right and are desperately awaiting help from the cash-strapped state government. Unfortunately, it looks like they’ll have to keep waiting: a new report from the State Budget Crisis Task Force shows that the state’s debts are much higher than originally thought. The New York Times has the details:

The task force estimated that the burden of debt totaled at least $167 billion and as much as $335 billion. Its members warned that the off-the-books debts tended to grow over time, so that even if Mr. Brown should succeed in pushing through his tax increase, gaining an additional $50 billion over the next seven years, the wall of debt would still be there, casting its shadow over the state.

The report acknowledges that Governor Brown is trying to steer the state in the right direction by cutting spending in the state budget (although killing the $68 billion high-speed rail boondoggle hasn’t made the agenda). But California’s problems are getting too big for one well-meaning governor to solve. Unless broader changes start happening, and fast, the Golden State will be past hope.

We, in Florida, were wise to refuse the tempting lure of billions of federal dollars with strings attached for a HSR unwanted and unneeded in Florida.

We don't have cities destroying themselves with riots for more freebies. And WE'RE the ignorant ones? Really?

Yeah boy, I do envy the "brilliant" folks in California.
