Seems to me that Andrew Kavlan is saying Obama is an asshole. But don't you think Romney is a bigger asshole since he is not polling higher than Obama particularly at a time when the unemployment is this high? Just think before you post. I presume that the bulk of your posts on SI are on the stock threads. Folks like you are presumed to be quite savvy because your thinking on issues is what causes you folks to be winners in the investing world. To back a person like Romney does not fit that image. Romney has built his wealth as an opportunist (the damsel in distress phenomenon). America has always applauded successful people who made money the old fashioned way: They earned it. That is not the case with Romney. His success has fashioned his opinion which is that 47% of American people are "muchers" Also notice how he like people who holds a similar view as he does. The only difference: Ryan believes 30% people are and Romney says that it is 47%.

Out of their fascination with the color of his skin and their mindless awe at his windy teleprompted rhetoric, they constructed a man of stature and accomplishment. Now, with the White House on the line, they’re waging an ongoing battle against the undeniable evidence that he has never been, in fact, that man. Actually, he's been more; much more.............he's the first president to give real hope to blacks and Latinos that they too can be equal and respected in this country. From the black boy who rubs his nappy head and is delighted that someone like him is in the White House to the Latino teen who now can think about college instead of deportation, President Obama is their hero. For whites like me, who had become accustomed to voting for the lesser of two evils, he embodies what a president should be...........someone of character who serves all the people, not just the corps and the rich. He is smart, competent and caring.........all the things my president needs to be to make me happy. That's why Mr. Obama broke a campaign fund raising record in September, raising $181 million. From where did that money come...........from the little guys in this country..........millions of them: The Obama campaign said it received donations from 1.8 million people last month, including 567,000 first-time donors. The campaign has received more than 10 million contributions from 3.9 million individuals. You see.........Mr. Obama is much more that that article you tout............he is the peoples' president.......and they love him for it!
