Sound Off

Debate

I do not understand what liberals expected. They got Obama without a teleprompter, in a one-on-one format where the media could not rush to his rescue by controlling the content of the debate. They saw exactly what conservatives have seen for five years.

Didn’t like it

The debate was the first time in four years Obama has been asked tough questions and held accountable for his own record — and he didn’t like it very much.

Turn signals

In 1938, the first turn signal was patented. Oh what a marvelous patent this was. No longer need we fret over slamming headlong into the vehicle in front of us as it went from 20 to rounding a corner in but a few seconds. The world was changed. A much better place it became. As cars got faster and people grew less cautious of the vehicle, these became crucial devices in order to protect all of our safety. People were considerate. Long since have these days gone by. Why has this become such a difficult thing for people to do? Why is moving your finger one whole inch in order to avoid certain death such an impossibility?

Speeding

News flash: The speed limit on I-93 is 65 mph. It’s clowns like you speeding and changing lanes who cause the crashes that make us all late for work. Wake up!

Warren

I’m tired of hearing Elizabeth Warren not owning up to the fact that she lied. She claims that kids don’t ask parents for documents. Hello, you are not a child anymore. Either prove your heritage or stop saying you are part Native American. Parents tell kids all sorts of non-truths, like Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny. Do you still believe in those, Professor?

Savings

The good news is that the Obama presidential library won’t cost much because there won’t be much to put in it. Obama will have shredded all the documents before he leaves office, in order to hide his crimes.

Keep right

To the caller “Buddy responds”: As you know both Massachusetts and New Hampshire have a law which says stay to the right except to pass. No one wants you to break the law; just abide by the law.

Unemployment rate

Is it not amazing that the media picks up so fast on the drop in the unemployment rate? The media never seems to state the reason for the betterment in anything they deem beneficial to Obama. The rate has changed due to the early upswing in hiring for the Christmas holiday season. The stores are getting an early start to their displays and hiring practices. Let the public in on all of the aspects — not only what they hope will fool the public.

Need facts

With all these political ads by all those running for office, not once have I seen anyone lay out an agenda of actual logical ideas to fix this economy. Enough of putting each other down. Give the voters facts and plans so we know what you will do if we vote for you.

Not stupid

“Stand with me, work with me. Let’s finish what we started.” This is what I saw in a campaign ad for Obama. How can he honestly say let’s finish what we started when he hasn’t started anything yet. Does he honestly think he can talk his way into another four years? Sorry, Mr President, but I’m not that stupid.
