Romney and Obama: Is There Any Difference?

[bedub1]

I think it should be Romney simply because we know he isn't afraid to speak his mind... Certainly his comments aren't appreciated by everybody, but he's not bowing and scraping like Obama, either.

Say what? Romney's position changes so frequently, how can you know what "his mind" is? As well, "speaking his mind" behind closed doors to his supporters doesn't really count, does it?

When rMoney speaks his mind, people run and scream because he's insane. When he sticks to saying what we want to hear, we know he is lying.

May I introduce you to the Progressive wings of the Democrat and Republican 1 party system. Both parties rode Washington for a few decades, right into the ground.

Whose chart should you trust, mine or Juan's? They are both random pictures with unknown authors that simply appeared on the internet. They both have sources, though neither provides you enough of a bibliographic reference to check those sources. That means, (a) the figures cited represent a correct and accurate synthesis of sources claimed, (b) the figures cited have simply been made-up by an anonymous person in the great void of cyberspace, (c) some combination of A and B.

How should we evaluate which is correct? It's a difficult choice, however, mine spells "Department of Labor" using correct syntax and separates sources using commas - indicating the author had a more advanced level of education than the author of Juan's chart so is probably better qualified to provide statistical synthesis. As this is the only non-content difference, it seems mine is more trustworthy.

Saxi's in no way is more accurate. It lacks a background pic of the US with all these faces in it.

"Presidents wield supreme authority over the creation of jobs, stock market return, GDP, and income growth." - Juan Bottom

There obviously has to be some correlation. Bloomberg and everyone else seem to think so.

Painstakingly, I just finished a Boolean search on bloomberg.com for the phrase "total jobs created" and couldn't find any reference to any article that supports these numbers.

However, I find it very difficult to believe a random image found on an unknown site on the inernet, authored by an anonymous person and that has basic grammar errors, might not be accurate (it's the Internet - there's too much riding on this for someone to do that). It's possible (likely) this data is archived in a hidden portion of Bloomberg accessible only via a hardline connection in a terminal located in a bunker outside the UFO crash site in Roswell and guarded by the Loch Ness Monster.

Also, here are some funny pictures I did find in an article on politico about how Mitt Romney makes babies cry (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81763.html) - I like how it appears he's becoming increasingly more frustrated with each child ... also that ginger chub monster in picture 3 is funny ... if I still lived in a gingerbread cottage in the Wermsdorf Forest like I did for four months back in '87, I would put him in a stew and cook him up!

Another difference is that Romney deeply loves America.

Obama...not so much

I'm sorry you're so upset, Woodruff.

I'm sorry you're such an unrepentant jackass who wants to be able to make statements without any supporting data, Phatscotty.

Against my better judgement I chekced the "sources in the accompanying column." Half of them are Barack Obama speeches and press releases! These pic posts are going from funny to hilarious ... but I think they're on a trajectory to sad. Schools don't teach students basic logical reasoning or critical thinking skills, helping to establish a regime of voting by the least informed and most easily duped. Mike Judge's "idiocracy."

Person A: Saxi has the biggest dick on ConquerClub.
Person B: Source?
Person A: this Saxi post in which he says he does ... (Link)
Person B: oh, guess you're right

[thegreekdog]

Thanks Saxi. I didn't count it as a difference because it didn't involve anything actually done.

I'm also retracting the gay marriage thing since the Bamster hasn't done anything about it yet. So we're back to zero. Actually, I'm going to make it 0.5 since Obama got rid of DADT and Romney would reinstitute it.

[Gillipig]

Romney is a religious fruitcake, Obama isn't, that's all the difference you need to know.

Reminds me of the sad joke that people will get upset when they hear that 40% of sick days are taken out of the working week on Mondays and Fridays.

Glenn Beck? I don't know what you mean.

Are you under the impression that Mitt Romney and Glenn Beck are the same person?

Romney loves this country like a Mormon loves America

Obama has contempt for our founders and our freedoms

You do realize that Romney is in favor of almost everything that Obama has done regarding "freedoms", right?

No...you probably don't.

Al this seems to suggest is that all Mormons look the same to you?

[BigBallinStalin]

Romney favors Hispanic Makeup more so than Obama.

When Romney gets angry is a positive. When Obama gets angry is a negative.

Scotty, I've found your brain! It was in my drawer. Here you go, now try to write something that actually makes sense.
