Interesting listening to our Gov. take credit for several of the initiatives that were put into place under Gov. Strickland- I'm pretty sure there was a ballot vote on implementing an environment for technology and research- and then Kasich says that taxes are lower- I suppose state taxes are probably lower but local taxes are up because the state has cut funding in all areas of local support- counties, townships, cities and village governments have cut services- and many have money requests on the ballot- so in my opinion life has gotten worse with the Ohio Republicans having control of the statehouse-
The big question is if Governor Romney was 46 or 47 in creating jobs in Mass. how can he be credible in creating jobs in entire USA. What was his record as Mass. Governor? Mass. isn't even supporting him. If is so great why won't his own state support him. That is a big question. Also Romney is running from press. Why because he can say what pleases people in small groups but he can't do that with a wide audience.
Maybe, if Governor Romney is elected, he can recreate Carly Fiorini's job at HP. My guess is she blames President Obama for her termination.
Don't forget about State Senator Nina Turner. Let her tell it voters are coming out in droves for the President.
The last word - When you have a Replican Party that from day 1 says we are going to make him a 1 term President. How can you have bipartisanship?
Re: "The Last Word." This is from the bastion of conservative press, The Washington Post:
" The Facts
McConnell made his remarks in an interview that appeared in the National Journal on Oct. 23, 2010 — nearly two years after Obama was elected president. The interview took place on the eve of the midterm elections."
Of course, President Obama's talking points are "indisputable."
You missed discussing the biggest political story of the day. When Carly Fiorina brought up Benghazi, you dissed her and said we'd discuss later. Never happened. This is the greatest media/white house cover-up ever exposed, with no major media coverage.
Did someone say this was about trust? How can you trust a White House that doesn't protect America and then says they didn't know that the embassy asked for help and denied the request.
GIVE ME A BREAK!
How sad! This will be talked about by everyone. What a coverup. The White House watches (7 long hours) as the American Embassy is attacked, asking for help and denies (STAND DOWN ORDERS) their help. Then they tell America they didn't know there was a request for help.
Only people who are truely delusional would believe that the President's staff would stand by and allow their own personnel to be injured or killed when they could have done something to prevent it. The truth is 'bad things happen' sometimes. Ask the Bush administration about the attacks on the 11th September. The problem here lies with yourselves - and the unpleasantly large axe you have to grind re our president. Sad really.
They had all the time they needed to comment on "rape comments" and trash Romney, but no time to bring up Benghazi. I have been watching Meet the Press for years and am extremely disappointed with David Gregory's bias. Tim Russert would have been asking tough questions that need answers no matter which political party was being challenged, David Gregory just sits there spewing Obama talking points like “we need a balanced approach” and shutting down conversations that he thinks put Obama in a negative light.
Trust me, I am far from delusional sweetheart, look at the facts! I have no ax to grind, look at the record for the past four years. I would like to thank President Obama for my health care premium costs going up $100/month starting January 2013. Folks who support President Obama are either stupid or very wealthy, I'm glad Claire is independently wealthy.
The only show I watch anymore on NBC is Meet the Press. Not sure I am going to come back after cutting Fiorina off for mentioning Benghazi. Gregory did say it would come later and I waited and I waited...... It's pretty clear to me now that NBC nor any of the MSM are going to cover Benghazi but that means they are only endangering more lives by not reporting the truth. If this is being handle in the correct way and they have nothing to hide, then why won't the President address the country over this extremely sensitive and serious issue? I am still trying to decide who I want to vote for but I have a big problem with this administration and the MSM going to great lengths to hide this story from the people. I knew by the time they brought rape up, yet once again, that we would not hear a word on the pleas for help from Benhgazi. Nor would we hear the CIA had told the teams (that could have gone in to assist) to simply "stand done". Where are all the good journalists??
Why is it that no one mentions race. If president Obama was white, would the republican party have a least tried to work with him. It seems that a large segment of the republican party seems to have an issue with a Black president.
Really Carley? "People vote for the candidate not the Party?" That's a nice thought, but statistically not very accurate. However in your defense, I agree with Arnold's comment a few weeks ago, that politicians need to remember that they are "servants of the people, not the party!" Why do you think so many are registering as independents? Looking for that servant of the people like me!
Re: Ohio Governor's assertion that "jobs" is a moral question: Does he know what moral means? Jobs are very important, but can't we please keep morality in the correct perspective? If you want to talk about morality, let's start with talking about whether greed motivates the "job creators" -- or politicians.
Carly Fiorina tries to bring up Benghazi and David cuts her off saying we'll get to that later. It was never mentioned in the remainder of the show. Am I to assume that David is trying to avoid this subject.
Everyone in mainstream media avoids this topic! David, I'm so disappointed!
Not only is David avoiding Benghazi, but NBC, ABC, CNN, and CBS won't cover the apparent cover-up and stalling by the White House. This is worse than Watergate and yet they give more air time to Snooky than Libya. Their bias colors have never been more vivid.
What has happened in Benghazi is worse than Watergate.
He sure was! He had three liberals sitting at the table, 4 including himself.
We need to change the national conversation and include the next two third party candidates in the presidential debates. Two party control over the national conversation is killing America.
What a surprise Benghazi Gate got shut down by David "not now, we'll get to that later" Gregory. I'm losing respect for Meet The Press more and more as time passes. First Williams, now Gregory. At least be a little discreet with your favoritism and determination to stay in the tank for President Obama. Sad, truly sad...
In 2016, I will vote for John Hickenlooper. His reasonableness is quite impressive.
Being from Wisconsin, I have to comment on Walker the Rabid. All he does is repeat himself. Wisconsin has not done well under his leadership, he is solely responsible for the radicalization of the people of this state and he would not be governor if he did not cater to the far-right of his party.
You rocked, Rachel! You nailed what's her name for Romney's "shift" re: the auto industry! He's a chameleon on soon many issues! Keep keeping it real! Here in CT, we need to keep McMahon from getting the senate seat!
WOW...so maybe just maybe, just maybe the Bengazi info was incorrect, that has happened with all Presidents. But all the lies coming from Republicans and Romney are not important? Its called TRUST. I would will trust Obama before a two faced, double talking, inconsiderate, phony like Romney.
AND Watergate. I lived it. NIXON lied on tape and set up illegal operations in his administration and got caught.
Listen to the tapes. He set back the Republican party, our countries image for 40 years. So you who use this incident need to read your history before making dumb uninformed statements. Your credibility is lost.
When an independant sounds just like chris matthews that person probably is not being honest...independant...really!!?
Nixon lied, but nobody died.
And the press coverage was 24/7 on Watergate. I lived it too. Now an Ambassador and three others die and NBC and the the main street media people won't say boo about it. What a shame they call themselves "journalist".
Is this a fair and balanced show? Carly Fiorino and three liberals!
David Gregory almost always has more republicans on his show than liberals and he is decidedly republican himself it seems. he has been more balanced the past two weeks, but has not been in the past, so much that I watched George S some days. Romneys shifting on issues is a concern, nobody knows what he would do in office. He is also truley dishonest. I am a person who has voted conservatively many years but I am dismayed by Romney and his campaign and I cannot give him my vote. Some people may not like where Obama's stand, but he doesn't change his major ideas every two weeks to fit the situation.
And don't forget, Obama has been endorsed by Chavez, Castro, and Ahmadinijhad! They must be Republicans too because like Gregory they are not talking about Benghazi either. We are in big trouble!
What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? What about Libya David? WHAT ABOUT LIBYA.......DAVID?????
Gregory is hitching his credibility to Obama...Russert was much smarter than that. Bengazi is an absolute cover-up by Obama being assisted by journalists at NBC and ABC. CBS covered it this morning. I guess thats where I will start getting my news. BTW I voted for Obama last time and was undecided until the debate.
If the press allow President Obama to get away with this COVER UP in Benghazi ... they will have failed in their function as a "free and independent press" ! The conduct is treason like in it's NEGLIGENCE !
