Please ask Romney or Gingrich what these so-called “classes” are. Romney seems to complain of warfare on his class — what class is that? In what class would he say the rest of us are? Is this warfare some lower class attacking some upper class?
I think you know what to do with this issue. Just don’t overlook it.
See you for four more years, Mr. President.

Consider this example: a company has a patent in the US; it produces the invention covered by the patent abroad, and imports the invention. With the US patent, this company can prevent any other company from producing the invention in the US. There is something wrong with that!
I think Congress needs to change how compensations for patent infringement are calculated. The compensations must be based on how much money an entity based in the US is loosing because of the infringement. If there is no entity based in the US that produces the invention, there is no compensation, even if the patent is infringed. That should help keeping jobs in America.

In order to keep jobs here, there should be a large penatlty or at least a large tarrif to be imposed at the time of merchandise essembled in other countries arriving United States. That way we keep jobs here and keep large corporations and manufacturers from benefiting cheap labor and contributing to the economy of other countries instead of their own.

This act will allow prisoners that are facing several years to reduce a determine number of years off of their sentence if they elect to be on a donor list. If some required a healthy kidney or a blood transfusion etc.. They will not only save lives it will reduce medical cost nationally. This act will allow a national donor registry from our over crowded prisons. I strongly believe that prisoners will have a higher incentive to donate for two reasons. 1. Term reduction 2. Some will want to do it out of remorse and good will for the wrong that they have done to society. This will help our economy turn around and save lives. Thank you President Obama and God bless you and America!! From Creative Thinker – Rickie Norman

“Take Back America” theme so popular with all the GOP, begs the question….”From who?”
1. The obvious answer is the “SuperPacs” and those that support them. Chris Matthews recent survey commentary suggest that 59% of republicand support SuperPacs, but only 3-5% Dems do. SuperPacs are Wall Street personified and we should turn this catch phrase back on them, at the right time.
2. We need series of charts “rhetoric vs. reality”. This administration is not getting credit for its good work and the GOP is hiding the results of the previous 8 years. A whole series of these charts on all the GOP talking points will, at least give those who don’t want to discuss the facts a little more of a challenge defending their position at the “country club”.
3. Romney is very careful to parce his words. That’s why he has such trouble when going off script. In NH and paraphrasing, he said that “this president keeps adding to the debt”. This is technically correct, but disguises and dismisses that 90% of the total debt comes from the Bush era. I put this in the category of “reading the fine print” and can be used to support the way Romney and Bain took advantage of less sophisticated listeners. Cynically, it is also why they don’t really want to support educational reform.

There is a great article on types of capitalism. Here’s the link:

I believe that President Obama believes in stakeholder capitalism and should let the US know this.

We enter a critical time for the US economy. If gas prices rise to $4.00 per gallon this year, it will stifle any shot at recovery. There needs to be a directed focus on getting gas prices lowered to an acceptable level (under $3.00) and we can all see the significant uptick in the economy happen immediately. Whether it is increased drilling in the US, off-shore, or increasing deals with foreign countries, I truly believe this is the highest priority to continue to spur the economy.

Use the phrase or motto “Obama Cares” (for the middle class, country etc.). This turns the republicans’ disparaging remarks against Obama Care against them. When people hear negative remarks against Obama Care they will be reminded that Obama Cares about what is best for the country, what is best for the middle class, and what is best for the economy.

“The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.
The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress. At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day…
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Unemployment… to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie – starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and the Democrat Congress
So when someone tries to blame Bush…
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007…. THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!”
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 &2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.”
The message goes on to say:
“There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!”
