If a Democrat is under 50% he's done!

$70k a year is about 70th percentile for American households. Sorry, man, you'd need to double your income to break the top ten percent.

Using that tool, 70k puts you at 25% percent, decidedly middle class.

Full refund, since wife was in school last year. Obama bucks baby.
Wow at everyone shitting on his 70k a year, I'm sure bugerflip-gaf would be happy to hear this.

You need to call him up about paying your rent for you.
This year is going to be NICE for tax returns. two kids (2nd to be born in December)
LOLWUT... 70K would be a great income for nearly everyone on these boards. Nobody is saying anything negative about his income, only his description of him being upper class.
Government handouts, ftw!

Congrats!
Heh, yeah, I can see that.
Thanks!
I would have died to make 70k even just 3 years ago, but, as all things go, now that I am making more, it is still not enough.
I was never begrudging him his income, though, but his description of 10% and upper class were way off.

Our daughter was born on the 10th of January, so we missed out on last year. But in addition to her this year we'll have made almost double what we did last year, plus we both just started grad school so that will add to the refund. Obamabuxxxx

Yeah, and won't Mitt be surprised when those secret Ron Paul delegates show up to the convention and hand Paul the nomination.

I got a guy in today that was swearing up and down that Romney said in a campaign speech that, "he could relate to blacks, since his ancestors owned slaves."
I told him that was ridiculous, but the thought of him saying that cracked me up. I pulled up snopes for the guy, but he refused to disbelieve it. He also swore up and down that Romney was going to swoop in and steal the election.
I am sure stuff like this will be merely taken as fact by some groups from now on, sort of like how Radio Shack's CEO doesn't even understand how the company stays in business (an Onion article).
Funny stuff.

A good number of Dems voted against it originally, it's not surprising some vote to repeal it.
Rombot really, really needs a reboot.
I think Romney will have a decent future as a comedian.
I know that's taken out of context, but hilarious nontheless.
A lot of poeple say ' "quote" This quote "end of quote" '.
(I just hurt my brain trying to type that).

hmmm, don't see it with this one. A lot of people say "end of quote" or something similar when quoting somebody.
I was expecting the funny when instead I got another contrived slight towards Romney when there are so many real, insightful, and funny ones.
This election is going to get really boring/annoying if this is our idea of fun. This is no "Fool me once, shame on...fool me twice...you don't get fooled again" or whatever verbal retardation came out of Bush's mouth in that speech.
It's in the way he says it. You can use the phrase "end of quote" and have it work, but Romney uses the same inflection as if it were part of the quote. He reads it like it's the punchline. :lol
I'm surprised my congressman Rahall from WV-03 didn't vote to repeal it. He's basically been running as a Republican this year.

The big laughs would have Cain, Santourum, Bachman, and Perry.
Ron Pauls would have been the biggest I can't imagine some of ungodly dumb things that a speech by him to the NAACP would have been.

Perhaps, but with how the video cuts, he might have started his next sentence with different inflection or anything else. Needless to say, this is super reaching. It is almost as bad as the Fox News Mole video with him doing the Hannity interview which did more to humanize him to me than anything else the man has ever done. Yet, people were acting crazy that he talked privately with another very wealthy man about how his wife's horses are very therapeutic for her and how they own a few of them. Wow! What a scandal!

He voted for it in 2010. That kind of flip-flop would be a hard sell.

Cain - yes
Santorum - would only make me roll my eyes and shake my head.
Bachman - a mix of Cain and Santorum, but that only makes me angrier.
Perry - I actually enjoyed the way he spoke. It made me laugh, despite the fact that he is a vile human being.
Paul - wavering between making tons of sense to batshit insane in record time.
I would love to see what Cain would say in front of NAACP. That would be some interesting crazy stuff.

He could have said I didn't vote for a tax increase or something similar.

I think Ron Paul would receive a nice, warm welcome from the NAACP tbh. He has many views that coincide with the concerns of black people

You know I think that's a pretty good breakdown. Speaking of Bachman when I was in the Capital recently one my biggest laughs was see who Bachman was across from office wise (Bob Brady from PA), some great odd couple shit potentially there.
I think the ratio of batshit would have been far higher as few if his very few good points would be relevant to the NAACP.Paul - wavering between making tons of sense to batshit insane in record time.
Yeah Cain would have been gold and possibly would have sung.
