Everyone knows the unemployment numbers are meaningless because so many people have been out of work for so long that millions are no longer counted. The fact that few jobs are available and wages continue to slide will be Mr Obama's downfall as we head into November.
The unemployment is really 16.1% nationally and 19%+ where I am in California.
The press will falsely claim that unemployment is down to 7%.
Gas will be made for two months to go down to 3.29 a gallon.
The Fed will throw money toward the election onto stocks again to make them look good.
The press will discover Mormanism, that Romney has money, and will spook voter with the same old crap. Going to take old people's SS away and run over black people.
No surprise, the man is an utter failure. I think it is instructive to note, the Obama defenders do not tell us how great he is, only how weak the Republican candidate is. This guy is in serious trouble, his own supporters can't defend him on policy.
Exactly!
However, it is really sad to see that there are some that also still try to blame Bush. The regime of blame and shame is coming to an end. Thank goodness!
Considering he had to outspend his opponents 50:1 to win among his own party, he'll need to raise somewhere north of $50 billion to win the White House.
no, not really. Obama only won 28 states and the popular vote by 3% last election. This election wont be anywhere near as hard for Romney
I always hear that argument, doesn't make much sense. The formula is the same now as it has always been. The people who have "given up" would do the same in any economy and the same would be true. I don't see any other number being reported by a reputable source. All I know is the people around me who weren't working from 2008 to 2011 are now working. I only have one friend who is unemployed and thats because he got fired.
No, the formula now isnt the same as its always been, and while I dont know anyone who is out of work either, thats probably more because of my environment and who I associate with and not an indication of society in general.
The Obama campaign has 533 people who have each raised at least $50,000 for his campaign and the Democratic National Committee, including 90 who joined the campaign in the last quarter. The total nearly matches the 558 people who were listed as volunteer fundraisers for the 2008 campaign.
Of this year’s bundlers, 117 are in the top echelon, raising at least $500,000 each, nearly double the number the campaign reported at the end of the 2011 and more than double the 47 who reached that level in 2008.
The lengthening list of top fundraisers is a sign that bigger donors are coming off the sidelines as the outlines of the race against Romney become clear.
