TYT: How Obama Can Win A Second Term

Last edited Sun Oct 21, 2012, 04:41 PM - Edit history (1)



Cenk discusses what he thinks the Obama team should do to secure a second term now that we are down to the stretch: complete the narrative of Robme being a Bain man whose only concern is making money for himself and his friends witnessed by his dismal performance as Mass. Governor (47th out of 50 in job creation).

Love me some Young Turks.

I think that OFA is aware of these things, but I still think that it's good that Cenk says these things.

Big TYT fan.

4. You know I had a discussion at work

about the uncaring nature of Romney and the potential exploitation of the middleclass to enhance the rich, the teabaggers reacted like this.... What do you mean Romney gave over 35 percent of his pretax income to charity, an uncaring man would not do that. Romney left the private sector where he could have been a billionaire but instead went into public life so he could help the people of MA, an uncaring man would not do that. Did you watch Romney at the Alfred Smith dinner, an uncaring cold man would not be able to pull off that routine...

and on and on....

since we cannot view his tax returns, we only have his word that he donates to any charity or the percentage of his income. Many thieves go into govt. in order to be able to steal more (or to set himself up to run for president where he could steal like Cheney). His speech at the A.S. dinner was to get votes, not a demonstration of his core.

because Romney did release at least 2 years 2010 and 2011, the idiots I work with had them printed off from some Forbes website with the heading "Romeny Tax returns a stellar example of citizenship and generosity". They hung them up on our news board just to "PROVE" it to me..

PUNCH ON IT HARD and NOW. And yes, attack the MittTwit on his MA record. He isn't even contesting his own state. WHY ARE THEY NOT ATTACKING HIM ON HIS MASS. RECORD??
