The Current Political Campaign

Fires and presidents do not mix !

On TV, the Colorado Springs police chief begged Obama not to come as he had no resources to protect him, and didn't need the extra burden ....but Obama came here anyway..

Colorado Springs ...…they had to suspend flights of the fire fighting tankers because the big O came to town. No air traffic could be in his vicinity, so the firefighting planes had to stop. The big O (zero) spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayers money to fly across the country in Air Force One to Colorado to make a campaign stop in the middle of a tremendous fire, thereby totally disrupting all the firefighting and police efforts, and causing millions more in fire damage to forests and homes.. and peoples lives.. all just to make himself look more prominent in the news. This is what we have for a President of our country now folks. He sure has the best interests of Americans at heart doesn't he! We got "change" alright

This is a boring election.

What strikes me as VERY odd is that it is Obama who is carrying out a scorched earth policy in the campaign thus far. Romney has had no choice but to respond, but not to the extent that Obama is going to. I don't understand why a standing President feels the need to run a negative campaign. As far as that's concerned, I don't understand why either side would run a negative campaign. I just want to know what they intend to do, not what they think the other side would do. I know that's naive, but I can only hope to see it in my lifetime. If it does, it will have to be QUICK!

Obama is running a scorched campaign because he does not want to face up to the issues like (1) unemployment, (2) national debt, (3) or the budget.

The Democrats do not want to write a budget because then they would be expected to live within that budget. They would rather just be free to spend, spend, spend.

Also, Obama is afraid that he may be asked a question for which there is no answer on his teleprompter.
