You're not being... specific enough. Obama was charging Romney with not being specific about his plans for the future, such as with medicare, as he was laying blanket assertions such as "mine does this and that" without actually detailing what his plan is. It's easy to spout off possibilities from a non-committal standpoint when you're not in a position of power to do such things.
Yes it is. Obama took full advantage of that as a candidate in 2008. And if the democrats are crazy for specifics, just like they are for Romney's tax records, Romney should just bow and give them what they want, because... they're.. awesome?!
Why should we trust Romney? He is known to say whatever needs to be said to gain public opinion in any given situation. He is two-faced. I don't know how people can like him.
Well obviously you can't trust him. You made up your mind well before he was even nominated. So, he's not speaking to you. Why should he care about your vote? He shouldn't. He's not going to get it.
I have come to the conclusion that it is a default position to like Romney, because they simply can't stand Obama for ideological differences.
Well, get over it. This wouldn't be the first election where someone gets the anti-other guy vote. Obama was a big recipient of that in 2008.
People buy into the conservative hype of creating expectations for a president coming into term with a major recession, and based on this ultra-high standard, everything he does necessarily fails. They would never have applied the same standard to McCain had he won. No way. Therefore, it has nothing to do with what the president has or has not done since he was in office. It has simply to do with hating everything he has done, because he is not a conservative.
And you hate conservatives for their ideas. Pot, meet kettle.
In other words, it is one big ad hominem attack on the presidency, not attacking the "what" but attacking the "who," and when attacking the "what" it is only because of the "who."
Bullshit. When asked about the role of government, Obama basically eloquently detailed why the federal government needs to have it's fingers in everything. Romney's response to that question: listing specifics about the Constitution. Big ideological difference there. So, this whole "conservatives hate Obama because of the color of skin" ..sure, some do, but most hate him for his ideas. You hate conservatives for their ideas. Pot, meet kettle, again.
I find conservatives, for this reason, to be highly immature. With Bush, we had reason to be upset. He sent us into a war we didn't need to fight, and in doing so, spent money that we needed here. That is a good reason to be pissed. Being mad at a president for not miraculously fixing a major recession is not warranted, and is unjustified. The willingness to throw flame on a president trying to fix this situation because of ideological ire, is really immature.
Bullshit. The nonexistant economic recovery is just a byproduct of his ideas (in conservatives estimation), which is basically that government should at least have a hand in just about everything if it's not outright running it. To conservatives, that sucks.
