Mitt Romney’s California neighbors are not exactly his biggest fans (I am SO voting Obama now)

Mitt Romney called President Barack Obama's handling of the economy a "moral failure of tragic proportions," suggesting he's failed the American people by enacting policies that have been "muddled, confused and simply ineffective."

Speaking at a campaign event in St. Louis, the Republican nominee said it is "painfully obvious" that Obama was "inexperienced" and "simply not up to the task" of leading the country out of this "great economic crisis."

"We have waited, and waited and waited for recovery, and enough time has passed to pronounce judgment on the economic policies of this administration: They have not worked," Romney told supporters at a campaign event in St. Louis. "Your government has failed you."

The Republican nominee accused Obama of being unfriendly to "free enterprise" and said his administration has failed to deliver on its chief commitment to the country: helping "every American help themselves."

"I do not believe this has been done with evil intent or ill will," Romney noted. "But for a family watching their house being sold at foreclosure, or the family that is forced to spend their kid's college savings just to make ends meet,

"date night" with Michelle. In 3+ years, he has been her a dozen times

You mean he dresses up in her clothes and goes out on the town?

This article is the biggest load of BS I have read in some time. Obviously, the house is on the beach in La Jolla. All beach-front homes in CA are crammed in due to the property value.

As for conversing with one’s neighbors, as one can see from the photos, there really are not any front yards, only garage doors right on the street. So, it is not at all unusual to know anyone other than the neighbors on either side of your home as you simply do not see the others.

Then, we have the fact that it is a “vacation home” which likely is occupied a couple of months out of the year by Romney. As for the neighborhood being full of gays, I doubt it, more like a neighborhood full of wealthy homeowners - some full time residents and some vacation time residents.

Is there anyone in America planning to vote who has not already decided who he or she is going to cast a ballot for? Seriously. How could anyone be on the fence this time around?

.
People that paint fences are usually just plain stupid, or totally lacking in any sense of asthetics.

Painting a fence means having to repaint it about every 2 or 3 years, and also makes it warp. A bare wood fence looks way better, and lasts way longer.

It wasn’t Claudius who died from a poisoned fig, but Augustus.

“Or do we go with a pathological liar, Mormon Bishop, far left socialist in favor of every major Lefty agenda item, who paints his own fence?”


There, fixed it for you.

Even if you believe all the bad things said about Romney, the difference between voting for Romney or voting for Obama is the difference between hitting the wall at 20 mph or 90.

Thank you.

That pretty wll sums it up.

Anyone who says they will vote for Obama in preference to Romney is judgement impaired.

There's NOTHING confused about Zero's policies; they simply direct buckets of cash to his campaign contributors. What's to understand?

Yes, confounded the two but did a little research on Claudius and either was either poisoned or he died a natural death ~ given the way most emperors were dying in those days, getting poisoned might well have been nearly natural!

The point is when you are ON TOP you have enemies you never imagined ~ so, yes, time to paint your own fence so that you know it's harmless paint and not some arsenic based compouned that will be sublimating and wafting your way for years and years.

Anyone who says they will vote for Obama vote for Ron Paul/Not vote/write in Sarah Palin in preference to Romney is voting for Obama by default.

There. Fixed it for you.

One goes with the American Republican, unless of course one is a RINO or otherwise tolerates the obamanation running for reelection.

He gives the impression of being a small circle, cold fish.

Then again, if I were a Republican running for office in socialist California, I would probably be careful to shut out strangers, too. Chances they would be leftists and without honor.
