regardless of whether or not you support his politics, it's exciting or at least interesting to see the president in person. I would have gone to see former president Bush speak while he was president and I feel about him how you feel about Obama. It's a privilege to be able to see any president speak.

Looks like you're wrong...the line in front of the MAC is HUGE. NO matter what your voting preference is, he is STILL the President of the United States of America and what a GREAT opportunity it would be to see him! Keep your negativity to yourself.

According to people employed on campus, the line for the tickets was long prior to 8 this morning...so I guess they can, in fact, "give them away"!

That's not true I'm sure that don't have enough tickets to go around for everyone that would love to see him HE'S THE BEST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD AND EVER WILL. If you know anything about a person's spirit which is what makes up who you are then you could see that president Obama carries within in him the spirit anyone would want to run a country a unselfish man is exactly what we need in office and now since he has been president everyone is trying to dod the copy cat thing an be just like him and his wife we never had a woman speak in honor of their husband as president and now that Michelle has done it everyone is trying to do it Barack Obama did and is doing exactly what he promised to do.

all real, you are the Patch record holder for the longest sentence ever posted (108 words)!

You are a college student and can't even spell "their" correctly. So much for your intelligent vote!

The line was down two blocks and then down another block and around another corner. The average wait in Kent was 2 hours. They ran out of tickets by 11. The line at KSU was longer! They expect over 7,000 on Wed, so I guess some people want to see him. I worked hard all my life (since I was 14) and paid my taxes so I could help those who need help.

I really don't think he is evil, I just think he is misguided. He had the unfortunate luck of being influenced his entire life by many others who have no great love for the American form of government. No other country in the history of the civilized world has ever offered the liberty and opportunities guaranteed by our constitution and bill of rights. People come to our nation from every country in the world to participate in these freedoms.

Sadly, our president's philosophy/ideology would diminish this which distinguishes us from all other nations. The left seems hell bent on supporting that diminishment. I really don't understand this mind set.

The recent turmoil in the middle east is somewhat frightening. Our state department has failed us miserably. Obama's 'Good Will' tour of the middle east when he was newly in office did not do a thing to change the tone or the hate. They will never 'love' us...and unfortunately the only safety for us is that they respect us and to achieve that, we must be feared.

Your Funny where have you got your information from.

god help you then, because polls show the majority of americans want to re-elect our president.

Just some info about Edward Klein, author of "The Amateur":
Klein is no stranger to criticism. The uproar over his 2005 book about Clinton, “The Truth About Hillary,” rang out from all quarters. One of the most talked-about suggestions in the book was that Bill Clinton raped Hillary, an act that led to the birth of their daughter, Chelsea. Klein never states outright that a rape occurred, but he fashions a scene, based on what he claims are two anonymous sources, that leaves an impression of violence and sex.

The scene begins with a drunk Bill telling friends, “I’m going back to my cottage to rape my wife.” The book was so inflammatory — it also suggestively painted an environment of lesbianism around Hillary — that some of Klein’s conservative allies parted ways with him. Political strategist Dick Morris, no friend of Hillary’s, wrote in the Hill in 2005, “These accusations do not belong in our public dialogue.” Morris declined to comment on Klein’s latest publication."

As in his previous books, his literary style in this one leans more toward the rhetorical than analytical. “The Amateur” repeats long-standing conservative opinions about Obama — that he is a Muslim, a closet socialist and riddled with delusions of grandeur.
“Ed Klein has a proven history of reckless fabrication in order to sell books,” said White House spokesman Eric Schultz. “Nobody in their right mind would believe the nonsense in this one.”

Mr. Simon,
classic "shoot the messenger" and "blame the victim" argument. I bet John Edwards feels the same way about the Enquirer.

Nicely said!!! I used to like curious george until his look alike entered office.

Interesting response. If you would do your research you could present some facts to support your thesis. Your presentation is emotion based regurgitation. Who are you mad at? LOL!

all real, check how many people have died in the Afgan war since Obama took over. Compare that to Bush. Then correct your previous post.

but is he worse then Billy Carter

No, not his grandfather Dunham. Frank Marshall Davis was a mentor in Hawaii, introduced to Obama by his grandfather, 1970. Davis was a member of the Communist party during WWII, look up his bio. Then we have Rev. Jeremiah Wright who was his pastor for 20 years in Chicago, famous for his anti-semitism and 'God Damn America'. Then of course, we have Bill Ayers, a neighbor, who gave the first political 'cocktail' party in his home for the aspiring Illinois Senator Obama. These fellows and their relationships with Obama are facts. Read up on Bill! LOL!

While I agree with the aforementioned statement, I do not recall posting it. I think there may be another MZ.

Hi MZ, this is MZ, nice to meet you.

Yeah, MZ...who have you become? LOL!

Huh? The liberals hate the liberal media? Try posting something that makes sense.

I guess it is childish to be concerned for this nation and its people? It was childish when we had all the disputes when the constitution was authored and agreed upon? This nation is worth caring about and expressing our concerns in spite of our disagreements. At least we are free to do so, whereas in some present forms of government across this world this is not allowed. Bod Bless America!

So you see, it very much matters who our representative is in the Statehouse, and it is a clear example of why all politics are local. The votes of the incumbent have directly affected all taxpayer’s in the district, and not for the better. It is very disheartening to have a state representative vote against the best interests of the people she directly represents.

Her voting record along party lines indicates that she is a mostly a cookie-cutter representative who seems more comfortable shaking hands and handing out award certificates than she is in fighting for her district. I believe that these issues make a strong case for her to not be re-elected.

Early by-mail voting is underway and begins in earnest Oct. 1. Whether you vote by mail or at the polls, please look down the ballot and watch for the name Anthony Fossaceca.

Foss will bring a fresh, thoughtful and informed voice to the Statehouse. As a small business owner and dad, Foss is highly focused on small business and education. He offers an in-depth storehouse of creative and common sense approaches to many issues. His handshake is firm and with a strong work ethic in place is well prepared to be an outstanding state representative for our district.

Our district deserves better and deserves to have Anthony Fossaceca represent us in Columbus. Please vote for Foss Nov. 6!
