You certainly cannot believe the polling that is taking place. They over sample Democrats by as much as 13%, and then say, "Oh look at this; Obama is up 2 over Romney!) If they oversample Democrats to get him up two, he is probably really down by 8-10!

I have heard some say that Romney is going to beat Obama in a landslide.

No, but it doesn't stop his biggest chearleader (BSNBC) from trying to hide the truth.

We're hoping that this shale play going on here will save us. Lot's of people already got bonus checks for their land lease. We're still waiting.

This, by the way, is no thanks to Obama, who is trying his level best to destroy all US energy development. So far, this is happening in spite of him.

Obama has already done more good for this country in four years than Bush did in eight.

Also, I'm busy laughing my butt off at all the conspiracy theories the RWNJ have come up with in order to avoid admitting the obvious fact that Romney is behind in the polls and his numbers are going down not up. Look, we get it, you have an irrational hatred of the nation's first black president but no amount of denial is going to change the fact that Romney is a sure fire loser and that Obama will be reelected by a handy margin. It's still going to happen even if you stick your fingers in your ears.

I don't have an irrational fear of America's first black president - I voted for him. My issue is that I am suffering from buyer's remorse. My problem with him is the debt he has left for my children and grandchildren, the strides he has made towards making this country more socialist, and his apparent shame in our nation as evidenced by his actions in regards to foreign policy. Obama is the anti American-pride president. Get it through your head, it isn't about his race. It is the economy and our national image.

An average of 380,000 citizens file for new unemployment benefits weekly.
That is roughly, 1.5 million a month.

36,000- 90,000 new jobs per month added.



Do the math.

Who is fooling who? Only the ignorant, don't see it.
Their brains are not programmed to think it out. They let others think for them.

Lay the graphs of this economy, to that of the Great Depression! The path of big government intervention, just like FDR, drew out and prolonged the depression. Only the rich made money back then, too.

Glass-Stegall was put in place so crashes like that would not happen. Bill Clinton eliminated Glass-Stegall.

10 years later..... Crash! The same thing that cause the Great Depression. Banks and unbridled scams.

Hurray for Obama -- he has ended the recession so it's time to kick all those still getting unemployment handouts, food stamps, welfare checks off and let them start working for a living.

I agree Glass-Stegall should never have been repealed (most regulations are there for a good reason which is why deregulation is usually a bad idea) but trying to blame only Clinton is just partisan nonsense. It passed the Republican controlled Congress by a veto proof majority so what was Clinton supposed to do? Yes, he did sign it but it would have passed anyway so he figured he'd go along with it and hope some of the bribes/donations would end up coming his way as well.

That's unfortunately how our government works.
