Yep you summarize it pretty good! A good dem friend of mine on Sat said, Obama running scared! he could even see what is going on.

He said this time ain't no 0/8 and no hype will be beleived this time around. Unlike him, too many believe the lies, so i disagree with him.

Do ya think he is going to show ads about His Economy Failing Miserably.
