Neither does Mitt, and that's the sad part. Folks seem to think he's the "Great White Hope" of the nation, and he's basically Bush all over again.

Be careful what you wish for folks, it just might make things worse.

Lex-

Send out that resume, as you will need to find another employer after November. Your attempts to "rally the troops" is like Hitler trying to defend Berlin.

EVERYTHING is stacked against Bo-

1. 8.3% unemployment and rising
2. $16 trillion in debt and rising
3. annual deficits of $1.3 trillion with no budget
4. failed $1 trillion stimulus
5. money wasted on failed "green" startups
6. largest tax increase in US history under Obamacare
7. No US oil, coal, or natural gas exploration
8. Fast and Furious
9. Solyndra
10. Black Panthers
11. Suing Arizona
12. granting amnesty to the children of illegals
13. gay marriage
14. independents have left Obama
15. Record turnouts of young and minority voters will not repeat
16. The economy is the issue most important to voters- Romney leads by over 10%


The headwinds are too strong for Bo. This election will be a certain victory for Romney, however, it is stacking up to be a landslide victory.

Hawkeye,

Do you seriously think that the young and minorities who are disappointed in Obama will turn to Romney?

Or just hoping they don't turn up at the polls?

Looks good on paper hawkeye, you got it all figured out....but i'd suggest wearing a heavy hat come election day as you gonna be scratching your head real hard as your logic has a major epic fail and Obama wins a second term.

Sure, politicians gave them the keys to the economy but it was bad decisions by business men who did the deed.
Politicians have made bad decisions, so how can it be a good thing to put a politician in charge of the whole thing? Maybe we should do a seach and figure out what group millions of people have never had any of them make a bad decision and just let them decide who would be the next President. It would be easy because they only make good decisions and would have a unanimous decision.

Who would want and if they did why would they want to be the president of your insane country? Just the fact that someone would want to be potus MAKES THEM SUSPECT.

Hey- If Obama wins, send all the derision you want my way. I will not deny making these statements at all.

However, the numbers are all against Obama. To win, Obama is banking on the majority of voters abandoning common sense and reason and voting against thier own self interest, as well as that of the nation. Given that the economy is considered to be THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE, do you really think that people will go to the polls and vote for the person they trust the least with the issue they value the most? Of course not! To suggest an Obama victory is living in a fantasy land and defies common sense.

Obama loses big in November. The independents are gone, as well as the throngs of young and minority voters. The numbers don't add up for Bo, unless he can get the democratic party out to register all the dead as democrats and have them vote for Bo.

I;m sure if Romney wins you guys/gals on the right are going to have a field day of sending derision our way,thats ok ,all part of the game we seem to play here.
As for people who vote for Obama voting against there own self interest? we couldnt disagree more on that point, i see those voting for Romney advocating the dominance of the 1% over the 99%, a move that Romney has said would immediately end Obama care, and slash/cut/gut many social programs that now help many. i think you may find come November that you got it all ass backwards.

3. The doctor who knew this pill would keep the patient ill.

Businessmen knew the financial product they were selling was designed to keep people's credit bad. That way they could bet against them and make money. who is the least ethical ,the politicians who says "lets make it easier for people to afford a home" or the businessman who says "lets see if we can make money selling people loans that are designed to make them default on?"
Quite simple isn't it? They'll never American the suits buy the poor will always get the blame. Some folks made so much money off those poor folks its not even funny.
