President Obama: "I don't jog, I run."

He had to learn how to act and sound black, just like anyone else from a White family would.

Too bad you got nothing but the race card to play. Desperate?

Let's let Mose decide:

at the beginning of that book, he SAYS that some characters are composites, etc. he is not just now admitting that he changed some things. that is in the book itself!

Considering all the other lies, half-truths and fictional people he made up in that book, I would take the comment with a big grain of salt.

Which book? Dream of my (runaway) Father?

And he can't run on his record. With 23 million people unemployed, underemployed or out of the workforce, voters are frustrated with canned speeches. Believe it Flagpole, the Obama era is over this November.

Uh, his record is fairly impressive.

Obama's promises have definitely left us wanting. I don't trust him to fix the issues we face. But, I also don't trust a single person in politics, because American politics are the problem. There are no victories for the masses anymore. Until we wake up and realize that cultural and social change are the only means of coming out of this mess, we will fail. Start holding yourselves, your families and your neighbors accountable. Until we do that, we will be lost indefinitely to the powers of globalization and corporate greed.

Obama has spent his first 3-1/2 years telling Americans the economy's continued sluggishness is all George W. Bush's fault, not his. That so-vaunted "charisma" factor of Obama's is wearing thin. Obama is the prime example as to why executive experience is of paramount importance for the Presidency. A strong executive will spread credit and accept responsibility. Obama is not capable of or willing to do either.

I get my lovin' on the run.

People are so desperate to pass Obama off as some kind of excellent athlete (is it racist?). In '09 I saw a magazine cover with him that read "Jock in chief". There was the shirtless photo. People talk about his weekly basketball game. Then this "running" thing. Nonsense. Where was all this when Bush was in office? Secret Service agents STRUGGLED to keep up with W on his morning runs. He threw a strike to home plate (BTW - for comparison's sake:

). And if he ever went bowling, he DAMN sure didn't bowl a bloody 37, I'm sure of that.

Please, liberals. It's so sad to watch you fawn over Obama. You want to have a discussion about policy? Fine. I'm sure you'd make some excellent points. But for heaven's sake, your boy is no athlete. Bush would beat him in ANY athletic endeavor... Except maybe golf - Obama's had way more practice at that ;)

"I don't trust any politicians, the system's broken, let's not take sides you guys, we can all be friends".

Good grief. To all of these "diplomatic" types: Take an interest in life and stand up for something you dolt.

Why does anyone want any of this mess saved? There is very little difference between anyone who can crack into the political system anyway. I hope all of these people run everything into the ground a little faster.

I don't see it.

Me neither. I just thought it was neat that I had something in common with the POTUS.

Nobody should dispute the fact that Obama throws a baseball like a girl.

Is there some kind of a list that describes the criteria for a real runner?

You have to have a candidate with a HUGE emotional backing to beat an incumbent president. Romney just has not whipped people into any kind of frenzy at all. Plus, really the ONLY thing Republicans can try to stick to Obama is the national debt. Every other measure of the economy shows we've been recovering for 3 years now...slowly yes, but the recovery is there. I know that the conservative talking heads (Rush, Glenn Beck, Hannity, etc.) make people who want Obama gone believe it will happen...it is their job to make people like you believe it so that you will go to the polls, but there is a lot of apathy towards Romney. Obama will win another term. I can (and have) listed all the reasons Obama will be given another term, but two big ones are bin Laden being dispatched, and the recession (that started under Bush) being over. If a Republican had been in office when that happened, the GOP would have anointed him the next coming of Jesus Christ and they'd have to change their shorts, telling their wives that the sweet lovin' would have to wait until the next day.
