Cardinal Dolan to Romney, Obama: Pledge to Play Nice

[ProVobis]

I am suspicious of his claim to want to repeal the affordable healthcare act, when it was modeled on the plan that he championed in MA. That smells of hypocrisy. I don’t trust him.

I’m having trouble with this myself, especially when there seems to be evidence that Romneycare has actually reduced the number of abortions performed in Massachusetts.

There are 16 TRILLION reasons President Obama does’t deserve a 2nd term.

The National Debt Is Now $16.0 Trillion Dollars. (US Department Of The Treasury, TreasuryDirect.gov, Accessed 9/4/12)

Since President Obama Took Office, The National Debt Has Risen $5.3 Trillion, An Increase Of Over 51 Percent. (US Department Of The Treasury, TreasuryDirect.gov, Accessed 9/4/12)

Under Obama’s Watch, Each Citizen’s Share Of The National Debt Has Risen $17,454 To A Total Of $51,874. (US Department Of The Treasury, TreasuryDirect.gov, Accessed 9/4/12)

Obama Has Added An Average Of $4,073,237,142 To The National Debt Every Day. (US Department Of The Treasury, TreasuryDirect.gov, Accessed 9/4/12)

On Average, Obama Has Added $1 Trillion To The National Debt Every 245 Days. (US Department Of The Treasury, TreasuryDirect.gov, Accessed 9/4/12)

Politifact: Barack Obama Is “The Undisputed Debt King Of The Last Five Presidents.” “So by this measurement — potentially a more important one — Obama is the undisputed debt king of the last five presidents, rather than the guy who added a piddling amount to the debt, as Pelosi’s chart suggested.” (“Nancy Pelosi Post Questionable Chart On Debt Accumulation By Barack Obama, Predecessors,” Politifact, 5/19/11)

Obama Is Responsible For “The Most Rapid Increase In The Debt Under Any U.S. President.” “The latest posting by the Treasury Department shows the national debt has now increased $4 trillion on President Obama’s watch. The debt was $10.626 trillion on the day Mr. Obama took office. The latest calculation from Treasury shows the debt has now hit $14.639 trillion. It’s the most rapid increase in the debt under any U.S. president.” (Mark Knoller, “National Debt Has Increased $4 Trillion Under Obama,” CBS News, 8/22/11)
Congressional Budget Office: “The Amount Of Federal Debt Held By The Public Has Skyrocketed In The Past Few Years, Rising From 40 Percent Of GDP At The End Of 2008 To An Estimated 73 Percent By The End Of This Year.” (“An Update To The Budget And Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2012 To 2022,”Congressional Budget Office, 8/22/12)

According To The CBO, Federal Debt Held By The Public Will Reach The Highest Levels Since The 1950s. “Federal debt held by the public will reach 73 percent of GDP by the end of this fiscal year-the highest level since 1950 and about twice the 36 percent of GDP that it measured at the end of 2007, before the financial crisis and recent recession.” (“An Update To The Budget And Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2012 To 2022,” Congressional Budget Office, 8/22/12)

I’m not sure what part of Catholic social doctrine supports bankrupting the entire country, including the poor. President Obama’s silly solution (no Medicare or Social Security reform needed) is the class envy “soak the rich” approach for those who “don’t pay their fair share”.

The result? $48 billion in increased revenue over a decade that sees a $7 TRILLION scheduled increase in CURRENT SPENDING OBLIGATIONS.

Simply put, President Obama’s policies have been a dismal failure.

Matt, Moore is a liar and propagandist. Notice that NO ONE enters Cuba when they need a serious operation, but millions come to America. The “same policies of the past” have given us the greatest health care system in the world, despite it flaws, many of which have been CAUSED by endless government regulations. I am truly sorry that so many of your generation trust the vile Michael Moore, a man so loathsome that he treats his own subordinates like garbage. uch:

Is calling someone a loathsome liar playing nice? Anyway they come if they can afford it. That’s why the health care system in the US is not the greatest in the world imo. Health care is rationed based on how much money a person has. The more money, the better coverage one can afford.

I appreciate the balance posters such as yourself and Matt and the few others who show up in these very one sided political forums contribute. I just regret, because of the one sided partisan presence, most finally throw up their arms never to be seen again.
Thank you , I hope you will continue on. Peace, Carlan

Carlan, thank you for your kind words but I would definitely include yourself among the few others.

Donating money to charity does not qualify someone to be a US President. I also wonder how that information became public? Why would someone wear charitable donations on his sleeve, unless the intent is to purchase approbation?

The same way his tax returns don’t become public.

The same way his tax returns don’t become public.

Romney did publicly release tax returns, just not sufficient enough years to satisfy the class envy warriors.

Perhaps we can get President Obama’s college transcripts released?

We got to hear how stooopid President Bush was for 6 years, until John Kerry proved himself an even poorer student.
