FACT is, Clinton isn't running for president. He is in the unfortunate position of having to endorse failed leadership and if Obama were to for some reason be re-elected, Clinton would be once again ignored. These two people are not exactly of the same mind. I still respect Clinton for what I believe was a great record in his presidency. I feel sorry for him having to knuckle under and defend dishonest rats who are stinking drunk with power but have no idea how to handle it.

Clinton was moderate. Obama is extreme left and those who defend his failed policies are no longer doing their country a service. Romney is a good man and he does have a vision. He is just keeping it from the leeches and douchebags who are hell bent on defaming him. These people need to be pushed back into their hole so America can get on with the business of growing again. Not for one extreme side. For all.

Wow, SJR - you just did a helluva job embodying what this article way describing about predatory lending. "Romney is a good man and he does have a vision. He is just keeping it from the leeches and douchebags..."

Yep, just trust the man in the suit who is talking about how much the other people suck. Good strategy.

I haven't watched Clinton's speech yet, and I doubt I will. The Obamney campaign is ignoring or celebrating their single most destructive policy: the wars. Warfare is going to bankrupt this country, and it's certainly skewing our national priorities. Half of all federal income taxes are being spent on the military, we wouldn't need cuts to other parts of the government if we could just take 10% of the military's budget. As an example, we've spent twice as much money developing the F-35 fighter jet (which isn't even operationally ready) then we did for the entire Apollo Program (inflation adj $). For the same money as the War on Terror we could be colonizing Mars.

The Portland Mercury is the most pathetic Democrat pandering website I regularly visit, and I really can't figure out why. Your readers are hipsters, if they gave a flying fuck about politics they would know that Obama hasn't helped them with shit. Maybe when the dollar collapses you can trade those birth control pills for bread and drinkable water.

Clinton's healthcare plan, tax hikes on the wealthy, FMLA, etc. etc. would all have been described as a hostile Kenyan-Communist takeover of the government, and the most radical thing since the French Revolution if introduced today. He was a moderate to sensible people in the 90s, but by the right's standards today, he's left of Mao Tse-tung.

And by 1990s standards, we could have easily seen a Dole/Obama ticket for president

The right's standards are to blame? Who exactly is in charge of our country? Republicans control the House. That is it. When are you people going to quit blaming the other side for failing to get the job done? What we have is poor leadership in the White House. He needs to be replaced with someone who can manage the day-to-day operations of our country successfully. It's really that simple. He failed miserably to do his job. The fact that he even has the nerve to stay in the race despite his poor record and considering how many campaign promises were broken during his first term, why would anyone give him another chance?

Because he flip-flopped on gay marriage?

Because he passed his own version of the "Dream Act"?

Because he is the only one who cares about women's issues?

Because the rich don't pay their fair share (even though they really do.)

Educate yourselves, for chrissakes.

So many scandals. The Justice Dept. The GAO. Secret Service. Our economy is about to get much worse and other countries are pulling their support for our dollar. Obama tried to spend his way out of it and it hurt America in the worst possible way as you will all see if he is re-elected. All we can hope for is for Romney to restore order.

Obama doesn't deserve a second chance.

Hi guys! (Sorry to interrupt, just doing a test to make sure our commenting system is working correctly. That's not a slam on your comments thus far, btw. However, on second thought....)

Want to have a conversation about why deserves to be elected, Humpy? Social grandstanding aside, I'd be very interested to hear your views. All I've seen recently is bits and pieces of support for Obama. Please indulge us all why Obama is going to succeed next time around.

Look, people. The truth of the facts of the matter is/are that the values and leadership of our failed economy has damaged the potential to recover from the gaps that are, this very day, too large to skyjump across without a proper harness and that frankly is going to be off-shored to the lowest bidder without even fracturally considering hardworking US workers to justify the cost. And so I'm all to Obama, "Don't go there! Because four years is like forever when you think about it, brostaff." And the fact is that I'm totally right about this stuff, because I've done the research. EOM.

Man, you are either the best troll in Portland or you are an even bigger fucking idiot than I thought you were.

"Obama is extreme left" Are you fucking kidding me?!?! he is a right democrat if anything.

Seriously, go fuck broken glass.

Another tolerant liberal comes out with a ray of sunshine to share. PREACH!

You don't sound very progressive. You sound like an angry, frustrated teenage boy who can't get laid. By anyone. All alone. Frustrated. Angry. Hostile. When's my time, Lord? When is my time? Tension........tension......so much tension.....

See how I responded to you? I did it without saying "fuck you motherfucking fuckbag fuck".

This is how intelligent people communicate. Take notes if you like. I'm not afraid of educating people here. Relax. Hate will only separate you from normal society.
