President Barack Obama counters rival Mitt Romney by declaring that government can't solve every problem but is not the source of every problem.

I'm reading this and can't get over Obama coming up with a rebuttal as lame, inane and moronic as this. Government has been the biggest problem by far, you couldn't find a more emphatic illustration of the government being the problem than our albatross-around-our-neck $16T deficit. So Obama counters with an asinine, churlish response that the govt is not the source of every problem. You mean the govt feels they could do worse than the 16 Trillion deficit we currently have? Let's start with biggest problem he government has created for the American people. Barack Obama. is that not enough to find blame against?

“He says Americans should not only accept responsibility for themselves but also for their communities and the nation.”

That’s true. Maybe 99.7% of problems.

Government is not the source of every problem, true.
But government these past 3.7 years HAS INDEED been the source of most of our major problems, or is at least aggravating most of them, especially the American economy and our national defense and security alliances, etc.
We need a new administration that is pro-American and which respects the American people and our values.

So this is their game plan for the coming week? Some little marxist strategist thought this through.

This should be fun for Ryan.

what the president does not understand is that the U.S. Government was never meant to solve any problem but keeping our borders well manned, and our military strong and ready to defend the country. We were not meant to bankroll the entire world, and our freedosms were given to us by Almighty God, not BY the government! Please, let us rely on our common sense, grow up and be responsible for our own actions.

CLEAN HOUSE IN WASHINGTON D.C., INCLUDING THE WHITE HOUSE!

Shut up, you nitwit. If we really ran the country, it would be in much better shape. That’s why a vast majority of Americans now say the nation is on the WRONG track.

For the first time in my life I agree with Osama Obama.I have dandruff for which the government bears no responsibility.There was a thunder storm the other night which caused a short power outage.Again,no government responsibility.But almost all of this country’s major problems *are* the responsibility of the *Rat Party*.

nepotism-government
patronage-government
uneven playing field?Government
favoritism? Government.
