| Washington, Oct. 20 (ANI): Former US President Bill Clinton has said that President Barack Obama is facing a tough re-election race because "impatient" Americans haven't fully recognized an economy on the mend. Campaigning for Obama in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Clinton urged voters to judge Obama on the past three years since he took office, in which private sector job growth has made up for lost ground. "This shouldn't be a race. The only reason it is, is because Americans are impatient on things not made before yesterday and they don't understand why the economy is not totally hunky

LOL...let me see - the uneducated folks are flocking to Obama, but the economists, business leaders, MBA's, etc., the people who best know how to read signs of an economy, are flocking to Romney. And Clinton thinks the problem is that we can't see the light? What have they been putting in his moonshine?

clinton should take his crooked body home, enjoy his retirement, and shut up. We all know how he tortures the truth at anyone expense as long as it benefits his twisted person.Obama's problem, one among many, is he operates in the dark or ignores all.

Dang! Can we not ever learn? In 1979 Carter said this 'malaise' was all our fault, but we didn't listen and look what happened! That awful Ronald Reagan came in and soon everyone was awash in money. The 'decade of greed' they called it.
Now, The Clinton is out reminding us of the error of our ways. Why, if we're not careful, it could happen all over again, as in the 1980 election! Horrors!

FTA- Bill Clinton- " The only reason it is, is because Americans are impatient on things not made before yesterday and they don't understand why the economy is not totally hunky-dory again," Wow. Could Clinton be any more insulting ? The Democrats really do hold the general population in contempt. Of course, 2008 did show that the majority of voters deserved to be treated like the Democrat base. The Democrat base happily laps up the usual ignorant pablum directed at them by their leaders. Normal citizens find it to be an affront to their intelligence and common sense. And talk about being out of touch..

This is Bubba Clinton's revenge. Read the article with the idea of a double message and it becomes really funny. Obama played the race card on Bill when Hillary was running for POTUS and now it appears that Obama has thrown Hillary under the bus with his rhetoric about Benghazi. It is payback time, and Bill is definitely thinking about 2016. Bill and Hill need the next four years to regroup and to try and burnish Hill's sorry record as SOS.

I think you're missing it on this one. Bill Clinton is in this world for one person: Bill Clinton. I believe he is now subtly doing what he can to undermine Obama. Every statement he makes reminds voters how bad things are. The fact that they need Clinton's support makes it very difficult to counter. From Obama's point of view, Clinton is the gift that keeps on taking.

I have been very remiss in not thanking the state of Wisconsin for causing the liberals to spend Tens of Million$ in the last couple of years. That state is not going to elect Obama, again. I'm convinced that all the WI polls are taken in or around Madison and bluest areas of Milwaukee. The balance of the state is full of real Americans. The same holds true in MI, OH, PA and all of the so-called swing states.It's getting very close to the time that the pollsters have to start telling the truth rather than what their customers in the MSM have been asking them to concoct.
"But they like him as a person" is one of the most egregious pieces of propaganda in political history.

Bubba's team was still in place due to democrats stalling Bush appointments at the time of 9/11. Policies put in place under Bubba by Jamie Gorlick prevented intelligence sharing between CIA and FBI. Bubba's attorney general Janet threatened to prosecute banks that did not give out loans to people who should never have gotten them leading to the mortgage meltdown and now his corrupt wife and female Butch gang run a broken state dept. Bubba is all Obama has got left to throw at Romney sounds like the O is in really bad shape.

No thanks, it was 1.68 a gallon when GW left office. Gas prices are hurting every business and every family in America through rising prices.

There is not enough patience in the whole WORLD for people to wait for the Current Regime to "turn things around".
Because there is no intention for anybody in the Current Regime to turn things around, if that means taking their collective boot off the throat of the economy, and bringing genuine prosperity back to America and the world.

"Impatient." Right. Got it.
The US fought WWII for about 2 months longer than Obama's been in office.
BTW, given what's known and proven, and what's reasonably suspected, about Bill Clinton, how does he get public attention? Who would ever allow themselves to be in his company, much less seek to be?
#17: I'd bet a Victoria's Filet that Hillary's heard bigger ones....
#19: Here's an anti-Obama point I've raised a couple times, and it doesn't require anyone "changing sides": "even those who agree with Obama's policies have to admit that, after all this time and all this spending, he's just not getting it done."

Whether Mitt Romney becomes the 45th president or not, Politico's Jonathan Martin insists that the Republican Party is on the verge of a looming crisis. Sticking with the same overgeneralized racist narrative, it is basically a 'fact' at this point that the GOP's conservative ideology and a lack of diversity will ultimately lead to its downfall. Conversely, the Democratic Party is poised to dominate in future elections. Nevermind that we heard this before in 2006 and 2008, with Clinton acolyte James Carville forecasted 40 years in the wilderness for the GOP. No, Martin insists that demography is destiny,

President Obama’s big rally tonight turned out to be just like his first, opening salvo of the 2012 campaign: a half-empty arena in Ohio. According toRealClearPolitics’ Scott Conroy, there were “empty seats scattered around the upper-level of Nationwide Arena … Four years ago, after all, Obama was easily filling venues larger than that …” The event even featured Bruce Springsteen and Jay-Z, and Obama still couldn’t fill it out. As it turns out, the empty seats didn’t look exactly “scattered.” They looked like substantial portions of the upper bowl of the arena, according to photos tweeted by those in attendance:

Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday struggled to draw 1,000 people at two campaign events in Colorado, one of the most important swing states this election. Republicans in Colorado have said they have not seen this much enthusiasm for the top of a Republican ticket in a decade, which is a contrast from Democrats, who are seeing a diminished level of enthusiasm from 2008. At an event in Englewood, Colorado, Biden's crowd "fell just short of a thousand people"--while an event with Romney drew 18,000--and another Biden event drew 1,200 in Pueblo, Colorado.

Today, speaking in Concord, New Hampshire, trying to look bipartisan, Barack Obama made this incredible statement: “As long as I’m president, I’ll work with anybody.” He can’t be serious. For a start, let’s take a look at immigration reform. In June of this year, Sen. John McCain, who has always championed bipartisanship, said bitterly: “This idea that this president or his people reached out to me is patently false. To somehow allege that I didn’t somehow respond to their overtures, that’s patently false. That’s their narrative, and I understand their narrative, but it’s not substantiated by the facts.”

The Illinois Republican party claims early and absentee voting has precipitously fallen since the 2008 presidential election. According to the numbers, at this point in 2008, there were 260,376 early voters and 304,290 absentee voters. Now, the party maintains, there are 195,064 early voters and 46,232 absentee voters. That's a loss of 57 percent of voters, since the last election. This, the Illinois Republican party says, is a terrible sign for Democrats. "Chicago is the heart and soul of the Democratic Party," says Illinois Republican party chair Pat Brady. "You can't get much more solid blue than Chicago

On this weekend’s broadcast of “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on ABC, Will revealed his prediction and added a bonus surprise by saying traditional Democratic state Minnesota would go for Romney as well. “I’m projecting Minnesota to go for Romney,” Will said. “It’s the only state that’s voted democratic in nine consecutive elections, but this year, there’s marriage amendment on the ballot that will bring out the evangelicals and I think could make the difference.”

David Axelrod, a senior adviser to President Barack Obama's reelection campaign, dismissed on Sunday the notion that Mitt Romney is making Pennsylvania competitive as the GOP presidential nominee heads there later in the day. "They understand that they're in deep trouble," Axelrod said on "Fox News Sunday." "They've tried to expand the map because they know in states like Ohio… they're behind and they're not catching up at this point." Axelrod argued that Romney's trips to Florida and Virginia are signs that they haven't locked up states where the Republican should be performing well.

The Pueblo County Republican Party has asked the Colorado Secretary of State's office to investigate the matter. A voter told KRDO Newschannel 13 that a checkmark appeared next to Obama's name after she cast her vote for Romney. "I wonder where my vote really counted," she stated.

Despite the frosty temperatures, over 1500 people who could not get in attended the “overflow rally” outside the event. The energy was enthusiastic and upbeat for Romney supporters. Female voters spoke to me about the most important issues to them this coming Tuesday. The overwhelming response was jobs, the economy, and a better future for their children and grandchildren. Many expressed tremendous concern for their kids, who are already struggling to find jobs, even with a college degree. They also flatly rejected that there

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are separated by just 1 point in Minnesota, effectively making the race there a toss-up, according to polling taken for the conservative American Future Fund. Romney takes 46 percent of the vote to Obama's 45 percent in the poll, which was conducted by the GOP firm NMB Research and shared with POLITICO. The Republican presidential nominee is up 13 points among independents, ahead of Obama 49 percent to 36 percent. They survey breaks with recent public data, which has shown Obama maintaining a single-digit edge over Romney, but gives Republicans reason to hope

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video. It appears to be the same state news channel.(Snip for video)This latest dispatch from North Korea´s state television

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
