Romney has "walked" that back.

And as President he couldn't fire him.

What would you want him to do on Day One? Override Congress and impeach him? And you believe in what the Founding Fathers wanted?

<<Romney would get rid of Bernanke. Your statement is simply one born of ignorance.>.

So getting rid of Bernanke is more important to you than the danger Romney would put us in by gettng in bed with Netanyahu and bombing Iran?

Voters shouldn't give into intimidation by billboard: editorial

Published: Sunday, October 14, 2012, 7:53 PM Updated: Sunday, October 14, 2012, 7:54 PM
By The Plain Dealer Editorial Board

Stan Donaldson, The Plain DealerWard 5 City Councilwoman Phyllis Cleveland stands before a billboard at East 35th Street and Cuyahoga Community College Avenue in Cleveland.

The appearance, mostly in Cleveland's predominantly black neighborhoods, of billboards warning against voter fraud is constitutionally protected speech.

It is also insulting, demeaning, belittling speech -- coming from people who choose to remain anonymous -- and a despicable election tactic.

The billboards, posted here and in Cincinnati and Milwaukee by what has been identified only as a private family foundation, insinuate that the neighborhoods in which they are found are hotbeds of voter fraud, which, of course, they are not.

The real point of these humiliating billboards is to intimidate voters in poor neighborhoods and to sow confusion.

Critics want billboard owner Clear Channel Outdoor to remove the message. But Clear Channel has the right to sell its space as it sees fit, and it's subject to a contract. The contract includes an anonymity clause for the buyer -- a provision the company says it won't allow any longer. Good.
