This was pretty poor of Mr. Caprio. The President has made it very clear he will not endorse any candidate for Governor and why should this man be any different? I just hope the people of Rhode Island are smart enough to elect this man for Governor and not go back to the old ways of the "good ole boy network" with the GOP so they can dig the hole deeper that they got us into in the first place!! Learn a lesson from history, you can't keep doing the same things over and over again and expect a different result, which is exactly what the GOP is trying to make us believe!

Thats a complete lie. Obama has endorsed several people for Governor

Caprio's point is that Obama ignores Rhode Island during their flood as he is just too busy or above it all. It isn't until the election that Rhode Island is considered by Obama the narcisssist.

Unfortunate choice of words Caprio selected, but can't blame him for being upset. It was only a couple of weeks ago that Obama chided his own party for not rallying together and now he doesn't support one of his own. Difficult to get behind him and his rallying cry for the Dems when he doesn't practice what he preaches.

No matter what your opinon MISTER Caprio, you do not tell the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA to "shove it". If the people of Rhode Island elect a governor as unpolished as you then it tells us something about the class of Americans living in RI.

Freedom of Speech my friend...

betterusa.......of course an American can tell the phoney obama to "SHOVE IT." Look, he's just an elected employee for we Americans. And, as a Democrat.....I think it is time that "someone" told him to SHOVE IT! He, Pelosi & Reid have destroyed our party. I wil never vote Democrat again. His "thug" politics have eliminated my desire to be associated with our once great party. Too bad, but it is true.

Betterusa, I would not use those words, but bear in mind, Mr. Obama and washington get paid by us, we can tell them to shove whatever...they are our employees, not the other way around.

The president is to forgiving --- what if this had been LBJ?

exactly rachel - isn't it funny how so many people actually forget that those in DC or any other government office work for and are paid by We the People??

You might think, no matter what party you belong to, that telling the President to 'shove it' doesn't do anything except announce to the world that you are an idiot.

You also might think that the average American is smart enough to see through all the BS and consider the actual issues...... Oh well......

[You also might think that the average American is smart enough to see through all the BS and consider the actual issues...... Oh well......] ---------------------------------------------------------- the proof is there that the average american is a complete moron who's more interested in who the first round draft pick is ... or who got voted off of dwts ... or does the current sitting president have a valid birth certificate ... than to actually pay attention to the real issues that affect their lives. what exactly are the real issues ... illegal immigrants are destroying the country?

I would not vote for anyone with an Obama endorsement.

If Frank C did not like some of the policies of the President, he should look for a better way to express that. Getting on the airways, sounding like a complete fool will not win him the vote. The man is trailing in the polls and willing to say whatever to win. Is this the type of elected offical you want in office? As for the Obama Haters; I know it's tough out there. And you want to blame the government for everything that wrong in the country. This %$#@ just didn't happen over night. We tried letting corporate American police itself, and that went horribly wrong. Tax cuts only got us huge deficits on every level of government, and as a result government service like police, and teachers get cut. That leaves you HATER crying about Obama himself, thinking he's a socialist, communist...whatever. What is your take on the isues we face? We don't need more mindless chatter from the gallery, we need solutions that will work. Until then SHUT UP.

Brad.....R U living on the same planet as the rest of us????
by Bisk1 October 25, 2010 4:55 PM EDT
Rachel262, on this planet and in this country - the Repug leadership in congress said this is not the time to find SOLUTIONS but rather to point out the problems - said they'll start working on solutions after the elections ... obviously this is why they've been saying NO to EVERYTHING for the last 2 YEARS and the many dumb Repugs will try to insult this POTUS ?? Especially with how hard he's working to change things and improve this country. Dumb dumb Repugs !!
by dkb218 October 25, 2010 5:03 PM EDT
Rachel262 Are you living in reality? Brad is correct. This crap started with the Bush Tax cuts and Billion dollar a day wars that were going to pay for themselves with the oil money. What happened to the oil money? Maybe you should look and see whats going on in the world instead of taking the medias view.

[Brad.....R U living on the same planet as the rest of us????] ------------------------------------------------------ not likely. he's on earth w/ a rational view ... and if you don't recognize it ... the problem is with you.

Obama is right to have nothing to do with this a$$.

He is and never will be Mr. Obama again. Please give him the title that was voted on to him. By the way I did not vote for Pres. Obama and often want to ask all those that did, "So how do you think he is doing?" I know all I have left is CHANGE in my bank accounts.
