""His business" and his cronies will come first; the rest of us - good luck."

Sadly, we have already experienced a very expensive "crony" payoff with Obama when he bought GM (unions won big at our expense) and paid back his Solyndra investors again, on our dime.

That much 'business sense' he has displayed but nothing to benefit the country.

Nancy: Obama gets it. Just because Romney has business experience does not a president make. It may help in some areas, but you also have to look at the man. In that respect, there is no way as an average citizen I would vote for Romney and get thrown under the bus. "His business" and his cronies will come first; the rest of us - good luck.

"@ Nancy "You DO know who put that in place don't you?"

Uh... loaning money has been around a while..." - moderator hater.

Oh my goodness. See if you can address who allowed bad loans to people who couldn't afford the mortgages - there was a certain legislative (federal) policy put in place. Start there.

"Being successful in business is not a credential to indicate that anyone is qualified to be the president of the United States, to think so is a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of government."

Oh, ok. How's that working for the economy? Not too well. It was very clear in the debate that Obama believes stimulus spending is how you create jobs, we have seen that didn't work. Obama believes in using federal money to bail out private companies that he gets to choose, while other businesses fall off the cliff.

Business experience does make a huge difference. And knowing the role of government is not to interfere selectively with private business but to encourage growth by getting out of the way and not over regulating, over taxing and burdening business with things like a health insurance mandate.

We're experiencing his lack of experience in many areas, the economy being the main driver of our country. Consumer confidence has been at an all time low for his duration.

Stands by itself, doesn't it? - storcheim

It certainly does.

"The posts here show that racism is very much alive and well in North Carolina."

It's very much alive everywhere and it's certainly not one sided.

The posts here show that racism is very much alive and well in North Carolina.

ROMNEY DECLARES VICTORY AFTER ONE DEBATE!!!!!! One of the main things holding back progress in this country is the Republican's massive effort to block everything Obama has attempted, and the country has suffered. It is very disturbing to me that they have spent so much energy doing that instead of trying to move the country forward.

@BubbaDukeforPresident "We might actually be able to come back from the Democratic mess"

Last time we had a GOP president we were losing 800,000 jobs a month and "too big to fail" banks were dropping like flies.... things were very dire...

Is this the come back you were referring too? Or, was this sarcasm?

@ BubbaDukefor.... ..."and decimating our defense programs" Actually it was the inability of congress to reach any compromise that will do this... It is very easy to ascribe all ones ills to the President, only, this one is on the Legislature... Just a fact.
