How do you come to that conclusion?

Don't waste my time.

Now you have to have intelligence to bring it all together jj.

Those statements makes absolutely NO sense jon. Do you have comprehensive knowledge of what the government spends money on? Do you know which people actually rely on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid? Not speaking of food or housing.

A bit delusional to think these words alone encompass what's an American. Those words do not completely capture all Americans. You left out some important facts about the making of America. A person have to be brainwashed to NOT realize the people that make up America cannot stay the same as it was over 236 years ago. I still don't think you answered what this meant; "The man has NO idea what it is to be a real American and neither does his minion."

No Dog53, that's not the intelligent assumption.

What do you mean real American? And, don't forget the recession DinarMillionaire, or condition of the country in 2007 and 2008. My source? Do you really keep up with economics?

Just an ad yota, just an ad! FYI: Job growth uncertainty happens every 4 years, every presidential election.

...meant (they shouldn't be), but some people have to pay federal income taxes on their SS benefits if they have other substantial income (wages, self-employment, interest, dividends and other taxable income that must be reported on their tax return) in addition to their benefits.

From that perspective that's true BillBill... but his press conference last night didn't make it any better. What he said of the 47% wasn't totally true. That 47% that do not pay federal income tax also includes folks who make over $2.17M who only pay capital gain taxes. Also, about 50% of the 47% make less than $20k a year or they're senior citizens who are not taxed on Social Security (and they shouldn't be). So there is working poor that is not looking for a handout. Most people who receive SS have already paid in.

Romney Video: Another Gust of Wind for a Campaign Already Teetering In politics, timing is everything. And so it might be with gaffes. Mitt Romney’s declaration that 47 percent of Americans -- all of President Obama's supporters -- want handouts from the government, secretly caught on tape during a private fundraiser earlier this year and published Monday by Mother Jones, is the latest errant remark in a presidential race replete with them. But unlike previous gaffes, the timing of this one could be more troublesome -- because there isn't time for it to fade. Romney’s campaign has been besieged by reports of internal disputes and worrying poll numbers, and was already fighting to prove it remains on track to win in November. The perception of a dire predicament might not be fair -- surveys show Obama’s post-convention bounce fading -- but it was the reality faced by a campaign forced to deny rumors its chief strategist was on his way out. Concerns about the Romney campaign’s ability to win are now amplified. If the campaign wanted to change the subject from its own troubles, Monday’s videotaped revelation will make the task impossible for at least a little while longer. Instead of telling people why they should vote against President Obama during the race’s home stretch, the campaign will be forced to explain why it can still win. That’s not in itself fatal, but it’s hardly the discussion a presidential campaign wants to have in mid-September. Beyond timing, there are other reasons why Romney’s gaffe could leave a mark: In an election the Romney campaign has said will be a contest between each party’s base, liberals are likely to use the GOP nominee’s comments as a rallying cry. It reinforces the harmful narrative for Romney, crafted by a barrage of ads critical of his career at Bain Capital, that he is indifferent to the concerns of many middle-class Americans. Despite his suggestion that Obama’s supporters don’t pay federal income taxes, many voters in that category – seniors and working-class men and women – disproportionately back Romney. The former governor might have insulted many of his own backers. Anything related to who is and isn’t paying taxes gives the Obama campaign an opening to bring up Romney’s own unreleased tax forms. He's not making it easy on himself.

Hmm... and that's how it starts, birth certificate next.

Impasse???

My comment reflect all presidents have adverse situations and some have more than others. Look at history. My comment reflect all presidents have adverse situations and some have more than others. Look at history. Don't fail to Vote!

No bad feelings Dog. We hear you.

Folks speak as if the world is tumbling down with any adverse situation under this president. My comment reflect all presidents have adverse situations and some have more than others. These aren't new actions. We can only look to history jonjon. You should have been able to process that. If you think it's Bush fault that's on you bro.

MEDIA??? Do you watch and pay attention to the elections? Past not future.

He digress quickly. To what, I don't know. Basically rants.

How do come to those conclusions? Don't you realize U.S. Embassies were attacked at least 7 times under GW? Google it and tell me about failed foreign policies if that's your conclusion.

Tommy, Please post the apology!

touché!

I have business in Tunisia. My business partner is a citizen and we've been communicating all day. He said the police have arrested about 100 people. Also said these idiots are ridiculous and brainless and will regret it - just a question of time. I was there a few months ago and everyone was extremely polite.

I've seen the articles all over the internet. I can't say Tayyar.org is a rightwing site. Thanks jonjon. Accepted Parmenio, let's see how things go.

Polls have some validity but actually referring to the popular votes. Popular votes are normally split, electoral votes are usually not close.

Why o why do you guys do this? And do you really believe this trash? Shi-it Happens right! Was Bush too close to Bin Laden? Come on Deep!!! But Seven U.S. Embassies And Consulates Were Attacked Under George W. Bush - Or was it 12 hmm 2002: U.S. Consulate In Karachi, Pakistan, Attacked; 10 Killed, 51 Injured. From a June 15, 2002, Chicago Tribune article: Police cordoned off a large area around the U.S. Consulate late Friday and began combing through the carnage and debris for clues after a car explosion killed at least 10 people, injured 51 others and left Pakistan's largest city bleeding from yet another terrorist atrocity. No Americans were among the dead, and only six of the injured were inside the consulate compound at the time of the blast Friday morning. One Pakistani police officer on guard outside the building was among the dead, but many of those killed were pedestrians or motorists in the area at the time of the explosion. The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad reported that five Pakistani consular employees and a Marine guard were slightly wounded by flying debris. Suspicion for the attack immediately fell on Islamic militants known to be active in Karachi. [Chicago Tribune, 6/15/02, via Nexis] 2004: U.S. Embassy Bombed In Uzbekistan. From a July 31, 2004, Los Angeles Times article: Suicide bombers on Friday struck the U.S. and Israeli embassies in Uzbekistan, killing two local guards and injuring at least nine others in the second wave of attacks this year against a key U.S. ally during the war in Afghanistan. The prosecutor general's office also was hit in the coordinated afternoon attacks in the capital city of Tashkent. It sustained more damage than either of the embassies, where guards prevented bombers from entering. The attacks came as 15 Muslim militants linked to the Al Qaeda terrorist network went on trial in a series of bombings and other assaults in March that killed 47 people. The explosions Friday caused relatively little physical damage but rattled a country in which the U.S. has maintained an air base crucial to the battle against Islamic militants in neighboring Afghanistan.

From a December 6, 2004, New York Times article: A group of attackers stormed the American Consulate in the Saudi Arabian city of Jidda today, using explosives at the gates to breach the outer wall and enter the compound, the Saudi Interior Ministry said in a statement. At least eight people were killed in the incident, in which guards and Saudi security forces confronted the group, according to the ministry and news agencies. Three of the attackers were killed. Five non-American employees were killed, an American embassy spokesman, Carol Kalin, told Reuters. She declined to provide the nationality of those killed, but said they were members of the consulate staff. Reuters reported that Saudi security officials said four of their men also died in the incident, which would bring the death toll to 12. [The New York Times, 12/6/04] 2006: Armed Men Attacked U.S. Embassy In Syria. From a September 13, 2006, Washington Post article: Four armed men attacked the U.S. Embassy on Tuesday, killing one Syrian security guard and wounding several people in what authorities said was an attempt by Islamic guerrillas to storm the diplomatic compound. Just after 10 a.m., gunmen yelling " Allahu akbar " -- "God is great" -- opened fire on the Syrian security officers who guard the outside of the embassy in Damascus's Rawda district, witnesses said. The attackers threw grenades at the compound, according to witnesses, and shot at the guards with assault rifles during the 15- to 20-minute clash, which left three of the gunmen dead and the fourth reportedly wounded. [The Washington Post, 9/13/06] 2007: Grenade Launched Into U.S. Embassy In Athens. From The New York Times: An antitank grenade was fired into the heavily fortified American Embassy here just before dawn today. The building was empty, but the attack underscored deep anti-American sentiment here and revived fears of a new round of homegrown terror. Greek officials said they doubted the attack was the work of foreign or Islamic terrorists, but rather that of regrouped extreme leftists aiming at a specific, symbolic target: a huge American seal, of a double-headed eagle against a blue background, affixed to the front of the boxy, modern embassy near downtown. [The New York Times, 1/12/07] 2008: Rioters Set Fire To U.S. Embassy In Serbia.

Witnesses said that at least 300 rioters broke into the embassy and torched some of its rooms. One protester was able to rip the American flag from the facade of the building. An estimated 1,000 demonstrators cheered as the vandals, some wearing masks to conceal their faces, jumped onto the building's balcony waving a Serbian flag and chanting "Serbia, Serbia!" the witnesses said. A convoy of police officers firing tear gas was able to disperse the crowd. [The New York Times, 2/21/08] 2008: Ten People Killed In Bombings At U.S. Embassy In Yemen.
