BIDEN/Warren2016 the main problem will be his health and plagiarism(I think he can survive both), and it would be cool to have a president that curses…lol.  If he deals with the guns issue now–people will appreciate it by 2016. I can’t believe I’m saying it but I think it can work.  It should not be about supporting a woman simply to get a woman in the position–the key should be getting the right person for the job. Joe Biden has at least admitted the vote for Iraqi war vote was the biggest mistake he has ever made, Hillary Clinton has made no such admission and her recent actions on Benghazi make her a liability.  Biden is a fighter and he knows his stuff.  The republicans will be busy pandering to the Latino Vote because they will think it’s the reason they lost 2012 election; Democrats can get a woman in as Vice President and republicans will go down in flames–again.

It seems that online shopping is up and more and more people are making their purchases online.  I used to think I would never do that; I would never put my personal banking and credit information online.  I tried to resist as long as I could but going to stores made me more open to shopping online.  People shop online because they won’t be hassled by sales people; like how they are always following you around the store or trying to get you to buy things you don’t need by making small talk.  I particularly dislike shopping during the Christmas season—stores are usually crowded and sales people are trying to make their yearly quota on your holiday spirit.  I find when I go into a store I often walk out with things that were not on my list.  When online, my shopping stays focused on what I need and not the crap I think I need, and when I am done I just check out.  NO LINES!  I have less buyer’s remorse when I shop online.  Also if they give free shipping it’s almost the same as going to the store, the only downside, you have to wait a day or two or even a week to get your product—oh well.  Now I know some would say going to the stores keep people working, but couldn’t those people just be shifted to shipping clerks instead of check-out clerks?  I was in a store the other day and asked a clerk where was the hair products—they didn’t know, online I can just type “hair products” and I have a bunch of stores to choose or I can go to a particular store and do the same search and find the hair products.  It took me almost ten minutes to find the hair products because after he asked someone and they informed him where it was, he came back and told me “aisle five”—well the aisles were double aisles, so when you were standing in aisle four you were also standing in aisle fourteen and aisle five was tucked away around a solid wall in the store—online I would have found aisle five in three seconds, and I would have customer reviews—you don’t get customer reviews when you go to the store.  I have to admit I am still reluctant to buy clothing online, I guess it goes back to the old catalog days when if you ordered something, upon arrival it wasn’t anything like how it “looked” in the catalog.  There is something about touching the fabric of the clothing or trying on the shoes you are going to wear.  I think online shopping provides a certain level of control that is not available when you go into the store. 

Morning Joe Question:  What do you think of Lehrer performance?

MY REPLY—–

Lehrer was the worst moderator ever, the worst. He is obviously too old for this now and needs to just admit he screwed up. Also if he has a favorable opinion of Romneys performance he is just a hack. As many debates as he has hosted under no circumstance can anyone call Romney a winner of this debate. This debate was a draw–Romney looked sweaty, fidgety, agitated, and constipated. He talked a mile a minute, said absolutely nothing but lies, and interrrupted all the speakers—How could that person be considered a winner—that person is ba bully. We dont need that—and how come no one his holding Mitt accountable for what he said in the debates—so now you can go to a debate and just do whatever you want and say whatever you want–how does that help democracy. The media has lost all credibility—and your polls were of old white people, I guess those are the only undecideds left out there.

The advantage goes to the champion–which is the president–the president looked more presidential and gave more information–he had the advantage. You guys are trying to skew the perception people have of Romney–but we see it and its too late. he is the same guy that held someone down and cut their hair, the same person that bullied ann date at a dance, the same person that all the republicans hated in 2008 and the same person who took pictures of money falling out of his pocket when he knew he was shutting down companies and putting people out of work. He is the same person that carpet bombed his opponents with false ads during the primary–how come you guys are not challenging him on his statements about “needing a new accountant” and that he never heard of the tax incentives for shipping companies and creating jobs over seas. — I guess the media is just in it for the show–so instead of acting like you are reporting, you guys might as well eat your popcorn on camera.

The economy has always been bad for certain people, particularly the black and latino communities, but that is not President Obama’s main problem–and it is a problem only those communities can solve.  Overall the economy is doing great.  I think people generally have learned their lessons and are paying closer attention to their finances, and it feels like people might be getting more conscious to the realities of our existence here on earth.  But then are those 47%, what will we do about them? 

There are a few things I wish Obama would have done differently during his presidency and during this campaign. I am sorry to see that he still has not gone into the really “red” states and tried to reach out to those people personally, and the only conclusion I can come to is that it may to risky security wise for him to be able to have an event there, but not even an indoor event is possible?  This is just what I would like to see.  I do think The President is running a superb campaign, and the economic numbers reveal he is handling the economy and foreign policy very well.  I notice no one is talking about Israel bombing Iran anymore, our Embassies are being secured and he has the full cooperation of the Libyan Government in seeking out those responsible for the attack on our embassy. 

My DEBATE WRAP UP,  POSTED OCT. 4TH —

Once again I think the media is wrong and I will say this debate was more a draw and in the long run the advantage will go to Obama.  I think Romney painted himself into a corner on several issues and still no specifics.  Romney looked hot headed, agitated, a little aggressive and not in a good way…like a bully.  We will see what happens when the media finally examine his answers.  I will agree it was not Obamas best performance but I think he did what he set out to do, which was get Romney to make certain statements on healthcare and taxes….round two next week
