Former President Bill Clinton claims Mitt Romney will ‘come after Irish next’

MichaelMcGrath, You summed up the situation very well. My one fear with Romney is that he will involve us in another disastrous, costly war and he will handle himself poorly on the international stage (e.g. Israel and UK trip this past summer). Other than that concern, I can not see why anybody thinks that borrowing money for green energy jobs and Pell Grants for sociology majors is going to turn around the U.S. economy. That is Obama's economic plan that he has been babbling about for the past four years and envisions for the next four if he is elected. I can not believe the election is this close.

BXBovasso that old history move on

As a neutral Irishman who actually likes Obama I think that Romney would be more capable for the economy, with Obama more experienced on International Affairs. So it depends on whether you want jobs and wages ( Romney) or to be more popular in the world ( Obama) . That's my take on it, so if I needed a job or better wages I'd vote for Romney today.

I just saw an "interesting" breaking news on Republican Josh Mandel here in Ohio. Background: Mandel is our current state treasurer. He was a wallstreet broker (as was our Gov. Kasick who worked at now failed Lehman Brothers.) He is running against Sherrod Brown for his US Senate seat. Brown has been running ads about Mandel's incompetence in office and local papers like the very Republican Cincinnati Enquirer have said that Mandel has lied and is not ready to represent Ohio. THE NEWS: It seems that Mandel reinvested Ohio State Worker Pension Money, that was supposed to be conservatively invested, in an offshore investment scheme that has turned out to be a scam and millions have been lost. I wonder if Bain Capital was running the scam. WORKERS, DO NOT LET THESE LEECHES NEAR YOUR MONEY OR YOUR GOVERNMENT!

What he reportedly did may have been immoral, but it was still legal. Is it something you want a future President to do...........

No i don't, he could be a future President who avoided paying tax in the U.S on €80 million euros by routing the dividends from hedge fund Bain Capital through a tax loophole in the Netherlands using an Irish pharmaceutical company. (Don't be Thick man!!!!) lol

Bobby. Do you object to Romney making money? WTF man?

"Im in trouble"...Yeah OK. Clinton is an old time WASP from Arkansas and about as Irish as a bag of Doritos.

Your country is screwed either way. The hole is to deep.

No cigar BX

Hey rish!-keep in mind this is swill time in the USA when if you took seriously what one party was saying about the other partie's candidate they could all be arrested and jailed (not a bad idea) Just remember, --as we over here all do on election day,-- that sweet-lips Bubba was impeached for lying ("I never had sex with that woman". OH YEAH!

It's all over - Obama wins the vote. Next challenge will be to win the court fight !

Meg claims that Obama does not have a record he can stand on, he promised healtcare reform, he delivered! He promised to shut Guantanamo, Republican congress blocked it. He got rid of Osama Bin Laden. He saved the car industry, he has NEVER sent jobs abroad, ROMNEY did. Romney passed the healthcare bill in mass that he NOW apparently objects to. Obama has deported more illegals and issued less pardons than any other president, so you can make all the claims you want, you are just wrong. Romney has only released two years of tax returns yet wants TEN years from Ryan Michaelidaho, and IF Romney wants to express DISMAY at the loss of jobs to other countries WHY DID HE SENT JOBS ABROAD HIMSELF?? Some of you people are SO scary with the DELUSION, its almost funny!

I'd like to follow up (again) on EphraimKibbey's comment about Romney's anti-worker policies and union bashing. Remember that video made at the $50,000 a plate GOP fundraiser, the event where Romney slandered the 47 percent, who, he said, will always be irresponsible and dependent on gov't? The scariest comment Romney made then, when he did not know his words were being recorded, was about unions: "I wish we weren’t unionized so we could go a lot deeper than you are actually allowed to go." "A lot deeper"? Indentured servitude, maybe? Just then a waiter brushed past him, and he never resumed his train of thought....

A Romney victory will send all of you Irish Americans that "have arrived" back two generations. You really think you are part of the whole thing don't you. These are the people that say "why do truck drivers kids have to go to college" Statements like that multiply on down the line. There is an entire crew of old boys with familiar names waiting in the wings with a few surprises for all of you.
