		<description>Federalization of private business is socialism, if not communism - even Anglia Merkel told Mr Obama not to federalize the worlds largest auto makers which by the way Chrysler only paid 1/3 of the taxpayer&#039;s money back because the value of the stock had devalued - GM has attempted to pay back the government and they are not allowed to. To date they have only paid 1/4 of their bail out and at best they will only pay back 1/2 of the funds Mr Obama gave them. Now ask yourself the question you asked me, was it really worth it? Do you realize millions of middle class people lost their life savings and pension investments because of the way they were federalized? Hugo Chavez said he and Fidel Castro seemed &quot;right&quot; compared to Obama&#039;s leftist move federalizing the auto makers. Track records speak louder than campaign promises and Mr Obama&#039;s track record is obvious.</description>

		<description>Why is Mitt Romney so scared to answer tough questions on welfare, his taxes, his foreign bank accounts, etc.?:

Could it be, that he has a lot to hide from?</description>

1) Romney does not and has not presented a specific plan to create jobs.  In fact, he cannot even lie straight.  He first said he created 1,000 jobs when he headed Bain. Then, he said that he created 100,000 jobs when he headed Bain.  Now, he has backed away from a specific number. 

2) Four years later, as you pointed out.  The country is growing economically, from the Great Recession.  Job growth is steady, but can be much better.  Through his action, Obama saved auto worker&#039;s job instead of putting them out of work and having them go on food stamp.  Remember, Romney said let Detroit go under which would have resulted in auto workers going on food stamps. So do you still stand by your statement Obama wants Americans on food stamps. 

3) Romney lied, but what else is new.  Romney, as Gov. of MA, requested for a waiver, like 5 other Republican Govs., under the same Welfare to Work program.  Obama&#039;s administration is granting the waivers for those states that help increase working opportunities.  Next time get your facts straight.  Don&#039;t be troll like the other fools who are willing to follow and lie like Mitt.</description>

		<description>Obama has increased food stamp recipients by the millions - his welfare policy is clear - he wants you on it! Romney however, would like you and the 14 million people who are still unemployed 4 years later to have jobs - now which option would you like? Extended welfare programs that include you and your family - or jobs? I think everyone would like to have a secure job with a secure income and a secure future. Obama&#039;s policy looses!</description>

		<description>Cutter is just flat out lying again, but what else is new with her, her cronies, Obama, and 90% of the media.

Like amnesty for illegals, why do you think BO is using executive order again to amend the Welfare Reform without going through Congress?  Answer: because he knew it would never pass because he is giving states the flexibility to redefine &quot;work.&quot;  Read below:

		<description>Romney is copying Bush and Carl Rove-- telling huge lies which grab headlines.  Unfortunately, most voters do not bother to get the facts.  Questions?  Look it up at factcheck.org</description>
