Simple answer to these questions is that when President Obam took office the Country was DEEP in the toilet. Around 850,000 jobs being lost each month........... A housing markeet collapse...... HUGE business closures............. The stock market collapse........... TWO expensive wars in both money and lives.
....and even after the massive loss of 800,000 jobs in one month that you guys think is a winning talking point, unemployment was ONLY in the 7% range. Obama then declared the Bush recession had ended, and the Obama recovery had begun, in June 2009. He was so confident that he knew the economy in June 2009 that he declared if he had not turned things around in three years, he'd be a one term president.

That 4.5 million figure comes out to less then 100,000 jobs a month, and since we need to create 150,000-200,000 each month just to keep up with normal ebb and flow of everyday life, which is why our total US workforce has lost hundreds of thousands of total workforce jobs, and it's why millions of people have stopped looking for work...because there are no jobs being created.

BTW................... 8 years of destruction cannot be cured in 4 years.
Your guy, Obama , claimed he could fix all of this, he did not tell us things would actually be worse in America at the end of his term. We have been in the OBAMA recovery for three and a half years, and it has done nothing but cause our economy to decline.
After all his promises, after all his predictions of how his policies and his vision fix everything, he failed, and all you are doing is buying into his rhetoric, as he makes the same types of promises and the same rosy predictions of what he will do, as he did back in 2008.
Whoever is president in 2013 will have inherited a worse economy then Obama did in 2009.
Because the man, Romney, has no position that he will not comprimise. He was a mormon bishop and his religion considers gambling evil and satanic and yet he willingly accepts millions from casino magnate sheldon adelson who pushes governments and people to gamble more.
He denegrades half the country as victims, when in fact many republicans do not pay income taxes, including him.
He states that people of entitlements are hopeless victims and gonna vote for Obama no matter what and yet his own parents were once on welfare (I guess this means they wouldn't have voted for poor Mitt).
He acts as though he had no assistance in his life when his parents and rich friends backed him in his endeavors. Poor son of a rich govenor and presidential canidate my azz.
He has not shown any backbone standing up to the crazy fundamentalists in his party and has indeed embraced them.
He wants to create jobs and yet he and the republicans have disdain for workers. Most people in this country are workers.
I am going to quit now because this could go on forever. If you can't figure it out then you obviously had no intention of being objective in your assessment of him.

I hear a lot of people that do not trust Romney or obama, so they say they are just not going to vote. All of it seems to be based on their "feelings". I can think of a lot of reasons why I would not vote for obama that are based on facts, not just "feelings". But, I haven't heard of a deal breaker reason yet to not vote for Romney. If you take obama completely out of the equation (I know that is hard), why would you just absolutely never vote for Romney?
Why did you post this thread if you had no intention of actually returning to it? I thought you were looking for a reason not to vote for Romney...
Unfortunately for Romney my list is absolutely true and the list hasn't got the destruction of Medicare/Aid or Romney being controlled by Israel as far as our military decisions or Romney deciding that to get a Education here, the student's should borrow from their parents.
Do you really think that Civil rights is not Important here...... The right for a Woman to control her own body or Gay's and Women and minority groups to be treated like second class citizens by Romney or outsourcing jobs to China and other cheaper Countries. To destroy any chance of a decent and affordable health system here for ALL American's or the fact that Romney is a war monger or Romney will make sure the wealthy pay less in taxes than everyday American's.
The Mormon church is even outraged by Romney's remarks about the 47%.
Please tell me what other issues are more important to America than what i have listed and just posted?
Romney cannot even run a successful campaign so how on earth can he run the Country?
He truly is a MORON wrapped in a IDIOT..........
Your list is only true in your mind.
Calling people names is infantile. Do YOU really think adults are going to take anyone serious when they resort to name calling?
You are kidding right?
Romney was brought up in a successful family. His Father was the one who built his fortune after being on a special welfare system implemented for the sole use of Mormon's returning to the USA. Romney WAS not the one who built anything............. he was working for his Dad's campaign for no salary as his Dad gave him any money he needed. He worked as a volunteer in the Gov's office because he did NOT need to earn money as his Dad kept him. He also went to Paris for three years unpaid as once again his Dad made sure he was financially ok........ Romney has never had to worry about losing a job as his Dad was there to keep him in money.
Obama was brought up in a single parent home and went to some public schools, one was a Catholic School.... bet Romney NEVER went to a public school.
Obama had to work hard to get grades to enable him to go to Harvard and did NOT have the money that Romney had to fall back on if he did not get good grades.
Do you really think Obama was living a life of luxury and Daddy's money as Romney did?
Obama is a great example to us all that with hard work.... help from the Govt. in tough times that we can all be successful.
Romney is a example of a kid who's life's already mapped out for him from a young age with NO money concerns and a complete elitist lifestyle that is now coming back to bite him in the butt as he has shown a COMPLETE lack of knowledge of how real everyday Americans survive..... "let them eat cake" comes to mind when thinking of Romney.
No I'm not. Obviously you are!
Who paid for Omaha to go to the most expensive school in Hawaii?
Are you claiming Obama got 100% scholarship money to attend his various colleges?

"Obama had to work hard to get grades". Prove it!
Obama was just a middle class kid that's about it. And that is because his grandparents watched out for him and provided a good education in which he obviously took full advantage of.
Why should anyone look to CD to see why they should or shouldn't vote for someone?
I used a search engine & looked through maybe 10 pages of political forums to see which is largest and did not find any as big as city-data.com/forum/. Therefore I felt this was the best as more people means more knowledge & opinions shared. On tiny forums, people stay there in many cases because everyone agrees with them on everything. They may all have false info, but that doesn't bother them as much as someone disagreeing with them.
If you go to a big newspaper site that favors almost 100% corporate control over your life, your comments may need to be approved before they appear, or could be removed quickly. And the article with comments is either erased or hidden after 1-2 days. So maybe 10 people see your post.
If you go to those social network sites, they ask for personal info, put cookies on your computer to see what other sites you look at, so your computer gets 20 times as much in temporary internet files, and then your e-mail box is filled with Spam.
So CD forums are good, but one should also look at various voter guides online. Best wishes, all.
