Oh oh.. another Republican talking point down the drain.. LOVE IT..
US deficit down $207B and going down
The Congressional Budget Office has released its estimate for the fiscal year 2012, just ended on September 30 and the news is good. The federal deficit was just under $1.1 trillion, compared to just under $1.3 trillion at the end of fiscal year 2011, a reduction of $207 billion. As a percentage of the GDP, the 2012 deficit dropped to 7.0 per cent, down from 8.7 percent in 2011 and 9.0 percent in 2010. The actual deficit numbers will be released later this month by the Treasury Department
The September 2012 numbers show an increase in receipts of about $23 billion, or 9% higher than the same period a year ago and a decrease of $115 billion in spending.Coupled with the recent good news of unemployment falling to 7.8%, its lowest level in four years, this is proof positive that the policies initiated by the Obama administration, despite the most obstructionist Congress in living memory, are working. Furthermore, the CBO has released the estimate for the effects of enacting Obama’s budget proposal for 2013 and found that, if enacted, the deficit would shrink to $977 billion, or 6.1 percent of the GDP, a full 2 percentage points below that of 2012 and effectively halving the budget deficit inherited when Obama took office.

The thing that's really sad monolith is that this disappoints Republicans. They don't give a shit about the numbers getting better - not for a second will they applaud this. They want to see it get worse so they can get the chance to fuck it up even more.

I guess what I'm saying is, as a country, positive improvement for the economy is something that EVERYONE should be happy about regardless of political affiliation. We should all be happy about this. But it genuinely makes Republicans mad. It shows that things might be working. Republicans talk all time about being "American" and having pride - what better to have pride in than that things are getting better? Divisive to the last breath, all of them.

the romney campaign, and much of the republican party, is betting hard on the short attention span garnered by the 24 hour cycle. that it doesn't matter when falsities are claimed, because you can apologize a day later and the news likely won't go on and on about it because then there's always something new to cover, and they care more about new than actual journalism.
it's not a bad bet to make, all things in the media considered. but it's sure doing no good for america. patriotism, my ass.

So Romney's argument is Obama's had long enough to fix a shattered economy but 11 years on, the Bush tax cuts need more time to have their full effect. Got it.

Where are the tax returns, mr romney? Fess up to declaring amnesty for holding illegal swiss banks accounts with the express purpose of avoiding paying taxes.

What an asshole. talking about a soldier giving his life to protect the embassy in Libya and talks as he was his buddy and uses it as a talking point as if he served or is on the equal footing with this guy.
Fuck you! You scumbag piece of shit. There's a reason why that soldier's family came out and told you to eat shit and never use his name in your political speeches.
The balls on these guys.. after the fact that these Republicans assholes CUT the funding for embassy security by 500 million dollars and directly caused these embassies to be vulnerable.
Mind blowing how anyone sane and with 2 brain cells can support this scumbags and assholes.. It's appalling.

Glen Doherty's lifelong friend on a radio show
Doherty told him that Romney kept introducing himself to Doherty over and over again forgetting that he had just met him"I think the ultimate count by the end of the night was four times. Romney actually approached him using the private gathering as a political venture to further his image and Glen believed him to be very insincere and stale...
He said it was pathetic and comical to have the same person come up to you within only you know half an hour, reintroduce himself to you, having absolutely no idea whatsoever that he just did this 20 minutes ago and not even recognize Glen's face"
