NBC’s Chuck Todd Runs Down the Ways America Is Not Better Off After 4 Years of Obama
NBC’s Chuck Todd on Wednesday ran down a number of ways the U.S. is not better off than it was four years ago when President Barack Obama first took office.
Among them: median household income is lower, more Americans are living below the poverty line and the 7.8 percent unemployment rate is exactly the same.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 3:32pmSo — if the US of A is actually a subsidiary of the Crown Corporation. (see original Treaty of 1783 — notice in the first paragraph that the King refers to himself as prince of the Holy Roman Empire and of the United States.. no big deal) Why we fussing about it now??

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 5:17pmMost everyone suspected fraud, but these numbers prove it and
our government and media refuse to do anything about it.
As each state reported their final election details, the
evidence of voter fraud is astounding. Massive voter fraud has been reported in
areas of OH and FL, with PA, WI and VA, all are deploying personnel to
investigate election results.
In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. (A mathematical and statistical impossibility).
In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio , Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations – and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. (Another statistical impossibility).
In Wood County Ohio , 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.
In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast.
The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in St. Lucie County, FL had a 158% voter turnout.
Palm Beach County , FL had a 141%voter turnout.
In an Ohio county Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.
NOTE: Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo
ID and lost in every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 11:23pmThe results are correct it’s just too many believed in the others to carry the vote for Romney. My Brother said Romney is a shoe in so I’m not voting. Too many apathetic voters. Many are conservative but lacking enough common sense to pull a lever, fill in a dot, or to punch a chad. I felt it my duty as an American to vote, some American’s feel that they fulfilled their duty in foreign wars or military service. There will always be voter fraud but the freebies people want will push them to vote for self. Experiment with a child and you will see the immediate satisfaction will dominate a long term greater satisfaction. Moses called it sin for a season. Solomon said…There is nothing new under the sun. It is too late for America. The country will default in debt, family, and morality but will call out in the end to a God that they have heard of but that God will say… “I never knew you, away from me you evildoers”

Posted on January 18, 2013 at 11:30am@Jeff If you had a clue and realized where these areas are that voted 100% for Obama you would see it is not impossible! They are very urban areas with huge if not 100% minority populations. So if you have a minority running for President and an area is 100% minority it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who they voted for. There is no way in hell the people in those areas are gonna vote for some rich white guy over Obama. It’s simple common sense.

Posted on January 19, 2013 at 10:43amI would feel better if it was election stealing. The alternative is that the majority of Americans are not freedom loving people, who use logic to make choices. They vote for the black man because he is black, not because of his policy or leadership. They believe the propaganda and do not think for themselves, but parrot the elite media mantra. I know many who voted for Obama and if you talk to them, they never respond to your point, they just attack you or the other candidate or try to change the subject. I never have gotten a logical response to my point or a clear logical answer based in facts to my question of why they support Obama. Election stealing would be much easier to solve then the problems we really have. The majority of Americans make choices based in emotions, not logic. That is very scary.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 3:01pmHey, F. Chuck – nice try, but the majority of American people (and 99% of leftist media hacks like yourself) do not care. You could suddenly find religion and report what Obama truly is: A flaming Marxist…..and, the vast majority would not care. So, why are you even reporting on anything? Nobody cares about anything longer….at least enough to do anything constructive about.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 3:08pmYes but here’s the rub (to loosely borrow from the Bard).
Little Chuckie acknowledges all these things that are wrong right now, but as a lefty this is what he believes should be done to fix them: Higher taxes, tax the rich, vilify the successful, more government handouts, more government, more government regulation, stimulus, green projects, over-regulating and punitively targeting the energy industry, Obamacare…etcetera..etcetera.
The scales didn’t fall from Chuckie’s eyes…he’s just bewildered as to why his messiah can’t fix what’s so obviously wrong. He knows the country is in pain, he just can’t fathom why the smartest, bestest, coolest, hippest, ginchiest president ever, ever, ever can’t seem to fix the problems after he said he would. It’s always fun watching a liberal look for answers everywhere but within himself. It’s got to be the GOP’s fault somehow..even if Obama’s been in charge for over four years now.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 6:36pmNHWinter, and they wonder why we’re not giving up our weapons. My question is who will do the shooting? I have good friends and family in the military as well as law enforcement and they are just a disillusioned as we are. So whose sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husbands or wives are pulling will be pulling this trigger? If there is an underground offensive being created by Obama against the American people heβd better damned well stay in office for my lifetime. This is just sick and Iβm done fearing my own government. Iβm a pretty mellow guy being pushed purposely to a breaking point. To think our own President has created this environment is so unacceptably bad and I donβt care what the intent is here. If anyone doesnβt think that the possibility of a large number of our fellow citizens will not being around in 2016, Iβd think again. Iβm not paranoid, I simply concentrate on the downside as the upside takes care of itself and that has served me well.

In other words, they are preparing the battlefield again for the next four year agenda. He can’t affect “change” without the cover of “problems” to solve. Term 1: manufacture problems and exploit the problems Bush (puppet) set up. Term 2 manufacture some more problems and exploit the problems remaining from term I and the Bush era. We don’t want this commie to solve any problems and we want him to stop manufacturing problems. Notice the timing. Inauguration is next week.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 2:04pmActually, the unemployment number has gone up since he has taken office. It was 14.2% in January 2009 and now it is 14.4%. This is, of course, the U6 number which is a better indicator of actual unemployment. the U3 number is the same because they have changed the formula so many times to arrive at that figure.

I mean, I know not all conservatives are willing to believe whatever people say, as long as it fits in with their pre-established world view, but this is just silly! Seriously, watch it high and just crack up. The only fact they got right in the whole movie was Obama’s name. The rest is just science fiction on par with The Bible or Scientology.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 2:16pmIf I didn’t have my own issues, I would probably be emotional about this delay but WE have known these issues for so so long.
Heard on the radio a few minutes ago of why letters to the prez for families being in those numbers stated by Chuck Todd have never been at issue but the gun ban is.
With the idea that yesterday has NOTHING to do with guns nor the 2nd Amendment but with breaking up the constitution piece by piece.
I went through the constitution last night and kept an open mind as to what thier mindset would want to ‘modify’ via executive orders. It was scary…
Amendments that stood out: 2nd – 11th – 14th – 17th – 22nd – 22nd and the 26th
At least SEVEN of of the twenty-seven or ONE QUARTER of them.
Very concerned…
Keep the powder dry folks…
