Presidential Polls: Mitt Romney Leads Gallup Poll By Seven Points, Obama Still Leads Swing States
Presidential polls were good for Mitt Romney on Thursday. They were good for Barack Obama too.
As the bump from Romney’s strong performance in the first presidential debate levels out, the race for president in 2012 has settled in to be a very close affair with each candidate leading depending on the polling.
Perhaps the best sign for Mitt Romney is that he was able to extend his lead in the Gallup daily tracking poll, a snapshot of the national voting sentiment. One day after extending his Gallup lead to six points, Romney was able to again increase his standing and now leads 52 percent to 45 percent.
Barack Obama sees good signs in presidential polls as well, as a separate Gallup poll shows him with a 50 percent approval rating, an important factor for Election Day. A series of polls from the firm PPP also showed that Obama maintains his lead on the state level, leading important swing states like Nevada and Wisconsin. Obama has also consistently out polled Romney in Ohio, which pollsters are increasingly seeing as the key point to the election. Win Ohio, win the White House.
But presidential polls have yet to account for the second presidential debate, noted Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight, an election blog of the New York Times. The site analyzes a number of presidential polls to create national projections, and, after holding a close to 80 percent chance of winning the election throughout the summer, Obama has seen his likelihood of winning drop after the first debate. He still holds a clear advantage, however, with a close to 66 percent chance of winning the election.

What are they smoking? All the other polls show Obama up 5 points..
Oct 18, 2012
Let's go President Obama! You are doing a great job! You made sure to end the wars of Iraq and Afghanista. Also Osama bin Laden is dead. You created some jobs. I hope you win so you can finish what you started which is creating more jobs to boost the economy.
Oct 18, 2012
I just threw up a little bit…..in my mouth… ^
Oct 18, 2012
Obama your Marxist Father Frank Davis who had 5 kids before he impregnated your white mama will be proud you destroyed the economy for 4 years! To bad people found out your change was for socialism!
Oct 18, 2012
What polls are you looking at??
Oct 18, 2012
Your right. Great at lying to the American people, the UN, etyc. Great at getting our embassies attacked. Great at putting people out of work. Great at adding to welfare rolls. Great at playing golf. Great at being a complete failure.
Oct 18, 2012
The DVD dreams of my father shows the fact that Frank Davis was Obama's real dad and he in fact hated the white American society, and Obama is trying to destroy the American economy with the EPA look up "Al Armendariz" the EPA destroys businesses and can care less about the 27,000,000 unemployed!
Oct 18, 2012
Excuse me! Meredith Freedman, where do you live, planet X? Afghanistan is not over we are losing soldiers every week there. this summer your leader signed an agreement for us to stay there 10 years and pay them 1 billion to stay there. And of course, they don't want us there but love the American gift of money….
Oct 18, 2012
True that people are so ignorant its literally crazy!!!
Oct 18, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin What did you do look in the mirror?
Oct 18, 2012
Let's not count the lies.. because we can see the count… ROMNEY 47 LIES RYAN 18 LIES OBAMA 4 LIES
Oct 18, 2012
Haha good one did you think of that all on ur own??
Oct 18, 2012
obama's pole!
Oct 18, 2012
Um Yea sure Kit
Oct 18, 2012
Get on back to watching Glenn Beck and Rush, Troy
Oct 18, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin Throw up a little bit in my mouth is a dead term, update your material
Oct 18, 2012
Did anyone else notice how Romney was cut off when he mentioned Fast & Furious? To those Obama supporters what about his attacking all those countries in the mideast? This from someone who won the Peace Prize? And what about his passing the NDAA after he said (lied?) he wouldn't? The guy is a complete fraud and doesn't care about you or this country which seems to be circling the drain. But, neither does Romney. So either way we are totally screwed. And by the way whoever wins will be chosen via electronic voting by those who are in control, not the voters… Yup, only a matter of time before we are renamed Dumfukistan and our national motto will become Ignorance is Bliss.
Oct 18, 2012
Sure wish Romney would ask Obama why he wants to start taxing the internet.
Oct 18, 2012
What jobs did Obama create?! Has anyone seen the 2 CEO's that have said they will lay off workers if Obama is re-elected? This is because we all know (at least I hope) that when sh*t hits the fan it goes everywhere but…IE TAXES! The more you tax the rich, the more the burden comes down on the rest of the 99% of us Americans. I am a REALIST not an IDEALIST when it comes to economics. Greed is why Americans got pissed, not making money! If we make the rich accountable, but not over taxing them, then the benefits to become better will rise! Free handouts to those who want to live off of the Government are, and is NOT the AMERICAN Dream! Work hard, and earn! BTW…I am an US ARMY VET! I love our Constitution, and I support BALANCE in politics. I strongly dislike extremes on both sides, and OBAMA is NOT a Democrat, he is by definition a COMMUNIST! Read Marx's theories on society and Government and tell me I'm wrong! I am also educated in the Liberal Arts field, so I am not some dumb media junkie! The news is biased and if you want to know what the facts are go find them and research until your head hurts!
Oct 18, 2012
AMEN!
Oct 18, 2012
LOL…Obama's (POLE)! You probably are!
Oct 18, 2012
After 4 years of Obama, this country could use 4 years of R&R (Romney & Ryan)!
Oct 18, 2012
You must be high on govt-granted crack! We were kicked out of Iraq and are currently in Afghanistan & Syria & Libya & getting ready to go into Iran which will be the start of WW3. Obama supporters are completely blind & ignorant & have no clue. Just look at the deficit & lack of jobs & continued bailouts for the bankster cartel. On top of everything else he is a homosexual and his marriage was arranged by the members of the Down Low Club at Trinity Church in the windy city. Barry Soetoro is a complete fraud… Hello?
Oct 18, 2012
nope, don't have to my pole is way better.
Oct 18, 2012
I'm sorry but I think America has some really dumb people. How can anyone think this President is doing a good job? Stupid people should not be able to vote!
Oct 18, 2012
May the best liar win! I'd love to see a rational atheist running for office instead of someone who believes in the angry sky god but we're years away from that…
Oct 18, 2012
Oh no! 4 more years of losing jobs? 4 more years of paying for higher health and gasoline costs? 4 more years of higher crushing debt? When we have no debt THAT'S the only way we can be prosperous. I thought everybody knows that, don't they. If you have no debt aren't you more prosperous than if you had debt?
Oct 18, 2012
We Need Change! Romney/Ryan 2012!
Oct 18, 2012
Yes! We Need Romney/Ryan 2012!
Oct 18, 2012
Obama's 'hope' is to 'change' America to a socialist country similar to Greece, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Italy and France. Give him another four years and we will have 25% unemployment. He thinks jobsare manufactured in a government factory!
Oct 19, 2012
Then please don't!
Oct 19, 2012
You conservatives are nuts to think that Romney can do any better running this country than obama…smh Truly you guys are asinine
Oct 19, 2012
why do so many conservatives seem to be hateful? too much Fox news
Oct 19, 2012
So, how about that flip flopper Romney and the boy who cleaned clean dishes in a restaurant who had no business being in. Romney lied so much in the debate I turned the channel. Obama lied too, but Romney changed what he was going to do from the last time he debate. Matter of fact. Has Romney ever stick to one plan or is it just the media lying. At least Obama admit what he did wrong in Libya. I though about voting Romney, but with the way he is not making up his mind about what he will do in office makes it hard. I asked a lot of Republicans way they will vote Romney in to get back on his side if I miss something. They said because he is not Obama and the number two answer was "I don't know, I'm Republican."
Oct 19, 2012
Simple: housing market is back, jobs are back, people are spending, malls are packed, banks are lending, and all my investments have doubled!
Oct 19, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin You look like you did, maybe I can help you along GO OBABA
Oct 19, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin yes you seem pretty ignorant
Oct 19, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin Just a little bit?

Oct 19, 2012
Obama is finally starting to turn things around. you can not clean up what was left him at the end of 2008 very quickly, but he is sure working on it and making good ground finally
Oct 19, 2012
Kit Elliott Your full of yourself or dealing drugs
Oct 19, 2012
Bill – so you can't deny my claims!!
Oct 19, 2012
We have plenty of dishwashers and outsourcers!
Oct 19, 2012
What jobs? I have no interest in politics, but if you actually think the job market is good then you must be smoking meth.
Oct 19, 2012
I'm not sure – haven't you seen the job growth and the unemployment.. BOTH are heading in the RIGHT direction since Obama has taken office!!!
Oct 19, 2012
Obama is the worst president ever!! I mean we all know how great of shape the country was in before Obama took over. LOL
Oct 19, 2012

So you won't be .
Oct 19, 2012
Jobs are back?? Hmmm idk about that what does 15 million more people on food stamps in the last 4 years tell you? does it tell you how BO loves saying how many jobs he created which btw is 5 million, but fails to explain in the process he also lost 4.4 million jobs, 125,000 jobs created, and wait the economy is growing at its slowest rate since the great depression? Usually facts are pretty fun to use you should try, it'll be fun.
Oct 19, 2012
good try
Oct 19, 2012
you ever hear of Ronald Reagan? i mean hes not that popular to american history…
Oct 19, 2012
WTF? These crazy conspiracy theories about the POTUS are never ending. Where you tea partiers come up with all this BS?
Oct 19, 2012
joyce. you are living in a dream world. he doubled the debt in 3 years that Bush spent in eight years. Plus everything else is worse. wake up .
Oct 19, 2012
Jefferhollandjr…You need to take an English writing class. The only reason I can read your writing and understand what you are trying to convey is because I'm a Special Ed. Teacher and I read writing like yours everyday. "I asked a lot of Republicans way they will vote Romney in to get back on his side if I miss something." What is that? If you vote for Obama and he wins, then you and your fellow idiots have no one to blame but themselves if our country totally falls apart. Are you one of the ones getting those free handouts that Obama loves so much?
Meredith Freedman…I just feel sorry for you. That's all I can say.
Oct 19, 2012
So you are saying this Davis guy "in fact hated the white America society" and yet you claim he got the President's mom pregnant and is the President's biological father? First you guys said he wasn't born in Hawaii, next he was muslim, after that he was associated with terrorists, then his Christian minister was in cahoots with him trying to destroy the country. What's next? No wonder you are so willing to believe the garbage that Mitt Romney says out of both sides of his mouth taking both sides of every issue depending on who the audience is.
Oct 19, 2012
It tells me that more people are lying to get food stamps.. and that's fraud.. We need to clean up the fraud!
Oct 19, 2012
something we can agree on!
Oct 19, 2012
start with your so called worthless of a president!
Oct 19, 2012
Gallup's polling methodology for likely voters is flawed. It discriminates against both 18-21 yr olds and new voters in a state they just moved to. Under their likely voter model, I cannot be a likely voter since I don't know where to vote( I vote by mail), I haven't voted before in this precinct, and I happened, by necessity, to miss the last presidential election(which is why I started voting by mail). According to their adjustments to their methodology I still wouldn't qualify even though I've never missed any other election for over 35 years. Here is the criteria for beling a likely voter:
Questions Gallup Uses in Its Presidential Election Likely Voter Model.
For the seven questions that make up the likely voter scale, respondents get one point on the likely voter scale for each question to which they give the response listed in parentheses (with a maximum of seven points possible). See the full question wording for each question in the "Question Wording" section.
1.Thought given to election (quite a lot, some).
2.Know where people in neighborhood go to vote (yes).
3.Voted in election precinct before (yes).
4.How often vote (always, nearly always).
5.Plan to vote in 2012 election (yes).
6.Likelihood of voting on a 10-point scale (7-10).
7.Voted in last presidential election (yes).
Gallup also measures the increasing trend of people voting before Election Day by asking people when they plan to vote and then considers this information when determining if people are likely to vote.
For the raw scores, Gallup makes the following adjustments:
•Respondents who are not registered to vote receive a score of zero.
•Respondents who do not say they plan to vote (see item No. 5) receive a score of zero.
•Respondents who report they already voted receive a score of seven.
•Given the rise in voting by mail, respondents who say they do not know where people in their local district go to vote receive credit for that question if they say they plan to vote before Election Day and say they have voted in their precinct in person or by mail in past elections.
•Gallup adjusts younger respondents' scores to account for their ineligibility to vote in some or all past elections. In other words, even though the model identifies voters based on past voting history, Gallup does not penalize younger voters for not being of voting age in past election years.
◦If aged 18 to 19, Gallup converts their scores as follows: 1=2, 2=4, 3=5, 4=7.
◦If aged 20 to 21, Gallup converts their scores as follows: 1=1, 2=3, 3=4, 4=6, 5=7.
You'll note the adjustment Gallup makes for the vote by mail people but to qualify for that adjustment, I'm required to have voted by mail or in person in the current precinct. "credit for that question if they say they plan to vote before Election Day and say they have voted in their precinct in person or by mail in past elections." Having recently moved to this precinct, I cannot have voted in in before. By the way, this is also a major problem for those voters who were redistricted this year into a new district and , therefore, into a new voting precinct.
As for discrinimating against youung voters, you essentially have the same problem. To be considereded a likely voter you must answer yes to all four of questions 1,2,5,6. The other 3 questions are not applicable to new voters. What that means is that any any young voter who votes by mail cannot get to the 4 points needed to qualify as a likely voter since they cannot get the vote by mail credit of question 2 because they've never voted in the precinct beforewhich is the adjuctment used to get the credit for voting by mail.
Finally, I question the validity of question #1. You get credit if you answer "quite alot" or "some". However, from the actual question scoring section, "some" is only counted if it is volunteered. It looks like the question is posed as.
1. How much thought have you given to the upcoming election for president — quite a lot, some, or only a little?
1.Quite a lot.
2.Some (vol.)
3.Only a little.
4.None (vol.)
5.Don't know.
6.Refused
However, answer #2 shows that it is "(vol.)" suggesting that perhaps the answer of "some" is not actually presented in the question. If that is the case, then many "some" voters might likely answer "only a little" rather than "quite a lot"…thus preventing credit for the answer. I would probably not get credit since I am a "some" voter. I wouldn't answer "quite a lot" since I don't obsess on presidential politics. I have a whole other life to obsess on.
Oct 19, 2012
I am open minded and weighed each candidates accomplishments and future plans. Obama has not delievered one promise the past 4 years. In fact, he has made matters much worse. Romney has a very cllear, concise campaign which is a good starting point for our country. He has all the qualities of being one of the best presidents this country has ever known.
Oct 19, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin…you're an Administrative Assistant in the 47% why would you favor Mitt? Makes no sense!
Oct 19, 2012
Meredith: you luckily survived your mom's partial abortion. What a dirtbag liar. Not worth commenting. Not worth arguing.
Oct 19, 2012
I never said I was a fan of Romney, Infact I voted for Obama in hopes of change but it never happened. I will vote Roney this election again in hopes for a better change. Obama didn't keep one promise and is about as worthless as a fly
Oct 19, 2012
I encourage everyone to read Wikipedia's and any other "reliable" source regarding the Governorship of Mitt Romney and decide for yourself if this is what you want to look forward too, especially if you get sick and need hospitalization or Medicare! Yes the economy is bad now…but wait till everyone making less than 7 figures are fending for themselves.
Oct 19, 2012
Hey Kit: Gallup poll showed Romney opened the BIGGEST lead over Obama in 2012: 52% to 45%. Another drunk dumbocrap who cannot read
Oct 19, 2012
I am a registered Republican and I am one of those "I don't know, I'm Republican" voters and you are absolutely right. I cannot think of one thing I could tell you about Romney that I know for sure that he would do without changing his story. At least I know what to expect from Obama, its not pretty but I don't think its dangerous which is what I fear Romney could be. I will be voting Democrat for the first time in my life. A bad choice is still better than a very bad choice made because of blind party affiliation. (there is a lot more irony in my voting preference this time but I won't bore everyone any further)
Oct 19, 2012
finish what? he never started created what? what country do you live in ?
Oct 19, 2012
of course, Obama.
Oct 19, 2012
housing market is back where? malls are packed news to me I was just there count the people on one hand and less people working where are these jobs ? what investments have doubled you must be in lala land people are shopping at the thrift stores they are jammed on sale days just drive by you can't convince me Romney is the only choice
Oct 19, 2012
WOW! I'm shocked by your responses.. I have NEVER seen a president do so much in so little EVEN with the Republicans holding us hostage.. I voted for John McCain.. but after seeing my investments double.. the jobs are increasing.. salaries are going up.. here's the problem and mark this page to come back to: IF Romney wins.. it will be BUSH all over again.. Here's what will happen: You will get a tax increase of $4,000 on the middle class because they will close those loopholes.. They will claim that the rich will pay more but remember, if you get a 20% discount on 20 million dollars.. they will gladly take that over the loopholes anyday.. however, the loopholes also affect the middle class.. Ooooops. Sorry Middle Class you get fuct again!! AND that pulls back demand on everything.. that slows everything down.. and recession again! This is very dangerous!
Oct 19, 2012
AND mark my words: Get your loans refinanced now.. get your car loans at 1.99%.. get everything done NOW before the election!!! HURRY! Don't wait.. House interest is at 3.5%.. Car Loans at 1.99%.. Get it done.. If Romney gets in.. we won't see those rates again for a long time!
Oct 19, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin yeah i know a lot of them right in my neigborhood
Oct 19, 2012
Ferdinand–Mitt would like to hire you to mow his lawn.
Oct 19, 2012
Helene Lemke Housing market – I just googled it.. shows STRONG! My IRA has doubled since Obama has taken office.. AND our malls here in Texas.. packed everyday! I hate going. This story of the USA being in shambles and people standing in soup lines.. this is not true at all.. You're sitting on the computer right now.. THIS is the picture they want to paint because it makes you blame Obama for creating this picture.. when in reality, that's not true whatsoever..
Oct 19, 2012
GO PRESIDENT OBAMA ,YOU HAVE ACOMPLISHED A LOT YOUR FIRST 4 YRS YOU GOT THE CAR COMPANYS GOING AGAIN,YOU HAVE THE BEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM GOING!YOU GOT BIN LADEN!YOU ENDED THE UNNESAARY WAR IN IRAQ!WHEN YOU FIRST TOOK OFFICE GAS PRICES WERE 4.99 A GALLON COMPARED TODAYS PRICES 3.52 HERE IN GA THAT STILL NEEDS A LITTLE WORK,AND UNEMPLOYMENTS GOING DOWN IM SURPRISED IT JUST TOOK YOU 3 YRS HERE SINCE IT TOOK THE OTHER FELLOW PRESIDENT 8 YRS TO SCREW UP WHAT BILL CLINTON HAD (A DEFICIT SURPLUSS )YOU WILL MAKE IT!!(YES WE CAN!
Oct 19, 2012
You are so SAD!
Oct 19, 2012
WELL YOU DONT NEED TO VOTE THEN
Oct 19, 2012
Mitt's plan is the same plan as Bush's. The plan the GOP was so proud of they did not even invite Bush's ass to the convention. The plan that had this country on the edge of collapse in 2008. All you trailer park republicans are a fucking joke. You stand up for the GOP party when 99.88% of their legislation actually works against you. If you do not make $200,000 plus per year you should be voting Dem. If you do not you are just a dumb fuck plain and simple.
Oct 19, 2012
@Jean – I see the Gallop Poll.. That just came out today! But thanks for the name calling.. class act you are!
Oct 19, 2012
WELL HAVE YOU FORGOT WHO GOT US IN THESE WARS?
Oct 19, 2012
Here's the scary thing: Go back one year.. Compare Romney's answers on everything. They have changed so dramatically and so many times.. that even now, when he flips – his own party has to say, "NOPE! That's not what we believe!" That's insane! The say anything to get elected.. That worked for Nixon! See where that got us!
Oct 19, 2012
One good thing this week was Obama DUMPTRUCKED Mitt's dumb ass in the debate. The look on that pig Ann Romney's face at the end was priceless.
Oct 19, 2012
Carl St Clair, i will be honored. your insult doesn't work sir. i'm proud of what i do for a living and i'm proud to live to my promised of not to be a burden of this country.

That's your president? wake up….everyone…..4 more years and we are all screwed. You think America is based on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan…..you know nothing.
Oct 19, 2012
You do a great job at being sarcastic Meredith Freedman!
Oct 19, 2012
WOW!!! Did Rachel just say Romney is a business man and that's exactly what this country needs????? Ummm Bush was a Business man too…See how far that got us
Oct 19, 2012
Kit Elliott, sou you're saying that Carl St Clair did actually talk to mr. romney (soon to be presedent romney)and affered me a job. i may have come from another country, but i know an insult when i read one.
Oct 19, 2012
Well it's very simple… Ask yourself this… What the f**k has Barack Obama done for you? If your answer is nothing then should vote for the white guy!

Oct 19, 2012
What do you mean "forgot who got us in these wars?" Al queda got us into the war in Afghanistan, not Bush. Yeah Bush got us into Iraq, which in hindsight wasn't a good idea but in reality it was a very short war. It started in early '03 and in late '06 it was pretty much over. I was there, I saw how it went. In late '06 between the Anbar Awakening and the Surge the hostilities practically ended. Yes, we still lost people after that point, I lost friends myself, but it was basically a peace keeping mission to let the Iraqi government get on its feet after that. And the thing with Iraq is that we "supposedly", at least, had reports that they were manufacturing biological and chemical weapons, which saddam was always saying that he had, and all they had to do to stop the invasion was to let UN inspectors in to prove that they didn't have any and we wouldn't have invaded. So if you want to blame people for the wars blame al queda and saddam. And Obama still hasn't closed Guantanamo which was one of the main things that he ran on. He was constantly saying that he would close it within his first year. It is almost four years after his election and it is still open.

ATTENTION everyone! If any of you have decided to abstain from voting this time, well here's a little something to think about. Here's a letter to the editor of my local paper, the Richmond Times Dispatch I just fired off to them. Knowing how in the past they've refused some of my and other letters because they push too many hot buttons, here it is in it's entirety!
Barbara Plunkett Turner.
——————–
Editor,
I have keenly kept up with all the pre-election reports, debates, positive and negative ads (which I and most everyone else is sick of by now) and I also had the pleasure of attending Governor Mitt Romney's recent rally held here at the Mobility Center on Midlothian Tpke on Friday Oct. 12th and was equally humbled to shake his hand and actually tell him "you're our hope, we love you and Ann, give her our best and we wish ya'll the best." It appears that now that he is happily 52% ahead of his opponent who is behind at 45%, it would appear everything is looking good for Gov. Romney to become our next President.
My main concern, as should be on the minds of every other legally registered voter in this country is all the multiple and cross-state illegally registered voters who it appears are going to try to get the current President re-elected! It would truly be mind-boggling if indeed this President were to get re-elected allbeit illegally by the votes of those multiply registered voters! Let's hope that this is indeed a "fair fight" in that all registered voters are only able to cast their single vote onlyin their primary residence state.

Go Obama ,thats right finish the job you started. Heavan knows you are trying and Romney is a lier,right. In four more years you can double or triple the national debt and creat at least 20 million more job loses, and all the banks will go bankrupt and you can put every one on food stamps and unemployment. Destroy social security and medicare and if possible pay for a new budget with a big fat loan from China. What will he use for his next stimulus plan, convict labor.
Oct 19, 2012
peoplke don't understand it will take more than 4 years to get out of the mess that Bush got us in. People hear Romney but you need to listen to what he is saying there is a difference. If you listen to him you will see he is not for the average person We have to vote for the lesser of the 2 evils.
Oct 19, 2012
@Mike Roback: Yeah and Regan didn't run around for four years whining about how it was all Carter's fault. He rolled up his sleeves and got to work, and got Americans back to work. Now, Romney is certainly no Regan but he would almost have to work at failing in order to do worse than Obama on the economy. @Shawn Halimi: I disagree with Obama's policies but there is no need to resort to calling him a socialist. Name calling in political disputes is one of the reasons that politics in America is in the state is is now.
Oct 19, 2012
the absolute only way Romney will get as much revenue as he claims he will is to do away with the middle class's deductions. Do you really want that? The rich got the money so let the rich pay.
Oct 19, 2012
Coward Romney draft dodger asking for 4 deferment living it up in Paris while my husband's fighting a war in Vietnam. He'll have US in a war so fast your sons and daughters will be off fighting God knows where. Investing in Companies in China, investing his money overseas so not to pay taxes, don't care about 47%,you'll saw him on tape, live saying so. Wake up America, he's scum, dirtbag, white trash.
Oct 19, 2012

Why would anyone vote for candidate whose positions change on everything on a weekly basis and whose positions do not have enough details to be analyzed? Etch a Sketch does not a leader make!
Oct 19, 2012

I don't trust Romney is a LIAR!

OBAMA WE KNOW YOU WAS FIGHT A BIG KKK TERRORIST….AND YOU DID A GREAT JOB.
Oct 19, 2012
Robme is a liar, cheater, scumbag,draft dodger,coward, who will probably let your man have 3 or 4 wives soon. Has no respect for women whatsoever, arrogant, doesn't care for the middle class, you heard him on tape,live talk to his millionaire friend behind closed doors. Use your brain for something.

what planet are you on Meredith…
Oct 19, 2012
jefferyhollandjr Two entirely different men from different backrounds and educations. Obama a law student, Romney a business and economics student. Obama wants to change the Constitution and Romney wants to make the business succeed….those are their basic inherent ideologies….simple as that. It is not about Race, Religion or popularity. It is very simply about what this country needs for government for the next 4 years. It doesn't even take a small amount of wisdom to realize the economic disaster that this once great country is in and it is not all Obama's fault but he has positively proven that he can not handle the business, nor can he staff a cabinet that is competent and efficient in their prospective fields….it would be very foolish to continue with this type of leadership. Not saying that Romney is positively the best alternative, but as Obama said 4 years ago, "change" is imminently necessary. Or this country is destined to fail
Oct 19, 2012
Joyce Cornett ……what???? ……again……what????
Oct 19, 2012
Karla Brown, then you shouldn't vote, because you are the epitome of stupidity.
Oct 19, 2012
Kit Elliott that explains why Obama should be reelected, good job explaining that fact.
Oct 19, 2012
Gallop poll are NOT to be beleived as they poll only those they choose to & hang up on anyony they don't want to hear from. You cannot return their call after they hang up on you & their website allows absolutely NO input or reply.This past evening at 6:51 p.m. I received a call from a strang & distant area code wint the name blocked. I answered on the first ring with "hello" , which was met with background noise/activity only. Upon my second "hello" the polster hung up on me! I can discern the difference between the breif rattle of a receiver being hung up & a sudden break in the communications conection. I know that pollsters have basic info on the people whose #'s they call.Being a lifelong registered democrat who has missed no more than 2 or 3 elections, even primaries, in over 30 of voting, I conclude that Gallup did NOT really want the opinion of someone of my demographic, only to be able to say they tried to contact me, I ansewered too quickly. All polls are suspect, & Gallup espically not to be beleived.
Oct 19, 2012
This election IS NOT being based upon who is the better man for the job. It's more of a black and white thing.Shows how much progress we have made and how immature this country stilll is!
Oct 19, 2012
Troy Hill you are a FOX VIEWS GEEK, keep on believing.
Oct 19, 2012
Jeremy sorry brother, but I was on Camp liberty iraq in 07-08 and we were getting mortared every day. I also ran convoys through MSR Tampa to Kuwait and the War in iraq was at it's peak at that point. I was also ther in 03-04 and 10-11, to close the place down. Dude you have no clue what your talking about. Don't just come on here and talk about stuff you have no clue about. Me and the soldiers that I were in charge of use to say all the time; What are we doing here? Because for us it wasn't politics. I love my country, but we were definitely mislead about Iraq.
Oct 19, 2012
Jeff Brown, it appears that youv'e been hibernating with your pet bear while the president has been fighting against the terrorists, with Drones, capturing Bin Laden, Awalaki and many others while trying to bring this war to an end, WOW, you hacve been trully hibernating, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE.
Oct 19, 2012
Kengeh, so you don't like Obama's white mother, huh, also you don't like his white GF he he, so you believe that your racist attack on the POTUS Maternal white side of of his family are all bad people, Man O Man, you are one really weird racist idiot.
Oct 19, 2012
exactly people like you!
Oct 19, 2012
Shawn Halimi, you are just a non white american of foreign caucasian origins who is trying to win the love of right wing racists with your statement. One day, the right wing bigots will come for you, once you identify yourself as being of foreign genes, but then again,you probably try very hard to hide your cultural roots, by hollering that you love burgers and apple pie, and that you never eat Kebabs, now am i right? You can run, and run away, but you can't run away from yourself. Thats what Bob Marley says in his music to people like Herman Cain, and I am sure that it can apply to you, Mr. Halimi.
Oct 19, 2012
I watched a tlk show today and was amazed how they adament that Romney constantly lying even when they showed the clips of him saying whatever depending on who he was addressing still believe that was not important. So they would have a president who dhows clearly he will say anything than what do u think he will do in white house AMAZING how gulable americans are. Listen ti the BBC and c how they are laughing at us around the world. We can c the proof in front of usvabd then gobinto denial
Oct 19, 2012
Daniel Ritch, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, but don't lit get it down, because these liars will never stop lying, because there is no shame in their game, you just have to be aware of the facts, and keep on fighting, you great warrior, until the vampires return to their sleeping quarters, and we bolt the doors so that they can not escape at night with their sinister ideas.
Oct 19, 2012
You all need to go watch Obama 2016. Very informative and hopefully changes your mind on how you think Obama is so wonderful.
Oct 19, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin WE are loking at all the Polls that you are obviously not looking at. You view the polls that you like, and Obama supporters view the polls that are facts.
Oct 19, 2012
they dont want to hear about your success story, or mine, with my fiance and I using obama's grants to get degrees in relevant disciplines and now making good money that supports our family. they want the country to do bad, simply so they can be right. its no bout America its about their ego.
Oct 19, 2012
You are the exact reason that we vote for Obama. to keep people like you from running the country, I would bet money if there WERE a stupid test, you'd pass with flying colors.
Oct 19, 2012
Troy Hill why cant you just let us feel the way we want? you think insulting us is likely to get your point across?
Oct 19, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin no what's crazy is supporting a man who thinks the way for you to get the same pay as a man for the same work is to get off work early so you can go home and cook dinner. You are the ignorant one. Did it ever occur to you that while the economy is an important issue some of us ACTUALLY HAVE EDUCATIONS and therefore have good jobs and hold other issues higher in our priorities? So what because you don't agree makes me ignorant? Or perhaps your close mindedness makes YOU ignorant? Before you label and accuse, try a little self-reflection.
Oct 19, 2012
Mr. Shawn Halimi:
You are so right. Four more years of Obama will bring this country to an economic collapse.
Not only this country but all the rest of industrialized countries. I cannot understand Americans who just do not grasp that. People talk about "likeability", Well LIKEABILITY DOES NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS". When are Americans going to open there head that behind this LIKEABILTY, lies a totally different image.
My deep inner feelings tell me, "I DO NOT KNOW OBAMA", he has several personality. In america, we atre so superficial, only surface count not DEEPNESS, and that is the major problem. If thie president is
reconducted to "the White House", Americans will feel sorry, and they will bite their fingers for a lifetime.
Yes for an Afro-American President but an Afro-American President who believe in FREE INTERPRISE, NO GAY Marriage, an Afro-American who does not attack the Catholic Church, who will not banned the Beautiful Almighty Name "GOD" . That is the Afro-American I wish for the White House.
Oct 19, 2012
Go Mitt Go!
Oct 19, 2012
@Kit Elliott, the freebies can't last forever, the money is running out. The malls may be packed but are people buying? Not in my malls here in California. And unemployment is still high. Maybe your democratic news agencies are telling you what they want you to hear. We were at 7.8% when Bush left office and we are at 7.8% now. The population growth is growing so we should be seeing an increase of jobs. Where are they?
Oct 19, 2012
I know it's cool to jump on the I hate Obama back wagon. But this picture that people want to paint and blame Obama is simply not true. Here are the markets right now: http://www.businessinsider.com/consumer-comeback-2012-10.
Oct 19, 2012
Priorties!
Here is a fact about the Obama adminstration.
Today marks the the third year since the Democrat controlled Senate has passed a budget, and the White House does not seem to care.
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 mandates that Congress must approve a budget each year by April 15. In the Senate, where Democrats currently control 53 seats, only 51 votes are needed to pass a budget. Considering it one of the few legislative pieces that cannot be filibustered, Senate Democrats should have had no problem passing a budget.
Meanwhile, the national debt continues to rise exponentially with debt at roughly $15,690,572,000 at the time of this article. With an estimated US population of 312,674,813, each person’s share of the debt is a whopping $50,056 – debt that will primarily fall on the backs of America’s youth.
What makes the situation even more frightening is that the Obama administration does not seem to care about the rising debt or the lack of a budget.
Oct 19, 2012
Carol Smith Yeah the population is growing and instead of making them citizens so they can start being TAXED SOMETHING GOOD OLE BUSH PROPOSED, you racist igits would rather deport them back to Mexico, and the other cause of population growth are infants and children surely you don't expect them to WORK do you?
Oct 19, 2012
Carol Smith getting a loan at 1.99 percent is a freebie? Buying homes is a freebie? What the hell are you talking about? And as a Texan myself as well GO KIT, YES our malls are packed. Who the hell goes to a mall and doesn't buy anything? "aint nobody got gas for that" Moron, lol. California has ALWAYS been RIDICULOUS when it cost of living amounts. Ghetto apartments for 1200 a month? WTF that has NOTHING to do with Obama and everything to do with your state.
Oct 19, 2012
Jeremy Laabs wow go tell those military men and women who died in 07 08 in Iraq that the war was over… damn fool.
Oct 19, 2012
Do you even know who Karl Marx is? Tell me about Class warfare? Who are the proletariat and bourgeoisie? When you throw these accusations, do you know we have been living on socialist principles since before you AND your mother were born? Do you have any clue at ALL what you are talking about?
Oct 19, 2012
Now don't google, this requires real collegiate learning. don't throw people under the bus for a label when you probably don't even know the definition of socialism or marxism. Do you know ANYTHING about John Lenin or how well it worked before the evil Joseph Stalin took over? EDUCATION IS KEY
Oct 19, 2012
We all know people like you and Romney like the jobs to go to India. But we prefer to keep them here on American soil, if its all the same to you, thanks.
Oct 19, 2012
Ferdinand Lopez You better hope you or youre got your papers in order they are gonna start rolling out that self deportation crap asap and according to the laws, you sure look "non american"aka Mexican to me..

one CAN ONLY HOPE, but THEY'd rather let obama win again than one of us as president, lol.
Oct 19, 2012
oh yeah because Mitt is really going to help you out. too bad obama has done a lot for us that were smart enough to get it. did you go back to school and get a degree if you weren't already well off and educated? If not you're a moron and could have had a good job by now. #fail. here is a better question, what have YOU done for yourself, besides have a baby you obviously can't afford? Self-reflection buddy self reflection
Oct 19, 2012
who are you speaking for? is franklin university even real? haha no university I've ever heard of. cause yeah, you are making 250,000 a year supporting me with your "franklin university" degree right? #fail hahahahahaha
Oct 19, 2012
"franklin University" a "Adult distance learning college" or aka this dumbass couldn't get into an actual accredited university after high school so he came here. YOU can judge no one, my good man.
Oct 19, 2012
Why? Because people don't agree with your dumb ass.
Oct 19, 2012
you are a perfect example of that theory my dear.

Well God isn't angry, but He is a Just God! As you will find out one day!
Oct 19, 2012
Obama didn't get ANYTHING done! But he is smart enough to fool you! Oh wait! He didn't need to be smart to do that!
Oct 19, 2012
Their laughing at us because of idiot like you, Moron!!!!
Oct 19, 2012
Meredith the wording has changed but americans are still dying in Iraq and Afghanastan also now we have Libya Syria and Iran with issues. Policies have failed time to focus on American's and American jobs…

jonessedale lol you are funny!!!!
Oct 19, 2012
Kit Elliott good for you can I get a loan and a job????
Oct 19, 2012
James Nix BUSH is to blame for last four years!!!!!!!!!!
Oct 19, 2012
This article is more wishful thinking by the liberals. They would have us all believe it's a "close race" but if you were to see a REAL poll it would show Governor Romney at 70% approval rating over Obama's 30%. The liberal media wants you to believe fiction instead. Sigh…
The fact is our nation is in serious trouble financially and a lot of people are hurting.
Obama and the democrat-controlled senate got us there by ignoring what we the people want. Instead of giving us smaller government, lower taxes, fewer burdens, and more jobs we got more out-of-control spending from this president and congress. That's hardly good leadership and hardly responsible government.
Here are Obama's words about poor leadership and government – not mine!
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006.
We need a leader who will get Congress working on what ails America, not Obama who has encouraged democrats not to work with republicans. The democrats have gotten used to this tyrany and that's why these democrats need to go – NOW!
A real leader can work with any team. Democrat controlled as it was for Obama's first 2 years, or split between republicans and democrats as it has been these last 2 years. But Obama would rather have a "kingdom" of tyrants who work with no one and disrespect the very people who elected them. He even fails to work with his own democrats!
Well, these democrats may control the Senate and the White House but they do not control our minds and free will!
Let's get Obama and all those disrespectful, big-brother, tax-and-spend democrats in the U.S. Senate and House out of of there this November. Get them out of our businesses, out of our pockets, and away from our personal choices in health care and what have you. They think they know better than us but the fact is that WE THE PEOPLE are the ones who built government and WE are about to make some changes. It's time to send a clear message to the president and to the democrats in Congress who continue to ignore us.
The message is simply this : "You work for US and….. YOU'RE FIRED!
So vote for every REPUBLICAN you see on the ballot this year – even in your local town. That's the only way we can stop this country from becoming a third-world-nation.
Vote ROMNEY and REPUBLICAN on November 6th.
Thanks,
Zodi
Oct 19, 2012
Kit- what country do you live in?
Oct 19, 2012
I remember the dems demanding two votes in 2002 to authorize the war. The seond one was so more could get on board and appear macho before the election.
Oct 19, 2012
Hate to be a glass-half-empty guy but you're wrong. The housing market is not "back". After losing almost 100% of our housing market, gaining a mere 17% is not "back". We will be back when we gain the full 98% we lost and then grow beyond it. Doubtful since 9 million people still can't find work. Oh that's right – you dems say jobs are back too.
Look, 5 million jobs regained only brings us to the point we should have been at a 3 YEARS AGO. That's a year after Obama became president. Wait. Wasn't ujnemployment supposed to be only 5% by then? Anyway, we are three years BEHIND in jobs my friend.
Advice for you democrats : Don't piddle on my leg and tell me it's raining.
Oct 19, 2012
Meredith,
Are you on drugs or just government benefits?
Oct 19, 2012
Just curios Kit.
Do you pay your bills with credit cards?

Oct 19, 2012
It was a short war? Tell that to the 3,000+ men and women who lost their lives and the countless thousands who are injured. There was absolutely no reason to go into Iraq and your blatant intellectual dishonesty about this says alot.

I think the economy was destroyed when it was handed off to him 10 trillion dollar deficit, below 7,000 on stock market , banks failing, auto industry failing, housing market in shambles……don't be a clown now and try revisionist history.
Oct 19, 2012
Fiction ! If you could see real numbers you'd see Romney at 70% approval and Obama at 30%. Didn't the so-called polls predict a landslide democrat win of the House 2 years ago? Wrong again…
Oct 19, 2012
Great talking points, but you need to do more than just become a sounding board for Fox News..Read Shawn, don't just watch T.V.

If the president is evil – your words not mine! And if it will take 4 more years to fix, then who's to say Romney can't do a better job?
Vote ROMNEY and REPUBLICAN across the board on Nov 6th !!!!!!!!!!
Oct 19, 2012
like the prez said at the New York dinner. I don't have any jokes. He doesn't have any jokes because he is the joke!
Oct 19, 2012
Thank you, I respect your comments.
Oct 19, 2012
as opposed to adding on another 6 trilion to 10 trillion of Bushs debt? done in half the time that Bush did it in..yea I see the real genius in more of that by reelecting obama. WHY dont you try something different that blaming everyone else for your screwups. Put in a new guy see if it works.
Oct 19, 2012
according to who? liberals? that doesnt speak for myself or alot of other non-liberal americans.
Oct 19, 2012
You might get somewhere if you actually give examples of what the hell you are talking about rather than just spewing your liberal rhetoric. IJS
Oct 19, 2012
There are so many examples.. abortion, women's rights, gays, taxes, medicare, health care.. it's every issue!
Oct 19, 2012
for those of you that are undecided..Just for a moment ask yourself this. If Romney did such an outstanding Job as gov..Why is it that he can't carry his own state in the Polls and the election? Well republicans post because its a democratic state..Well ok..But he seemed to baffle them enough with his bull ______.. to win the election against a Democrat..And yes his approval rating in the beginning was over 60% but 30% in the end..Ok so he snowed the people and got elected only to fail..Now more important than just his record..WHY if the republican Presidents do such an awesome job leading this country, do you never see a former REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT on the campaign trail or on stage with the new candidate? Yes you are correct, they screwed up the nation so badly the party has to send them into exile..They just don't want them to be associated , so that they can stand up there and say WE HAVE A PLAN…and that's it..Really people are so shallow that those answers to every single question WE HAVE A PLAN, wins debates..This is Important , there are no Mulligans, you are stuck with them for 4 years..I was republican , I lived as a Republican, fought as a Republican, I just decided 12 years ago that I wasn't going to die as a Republican..These are facts..Not Lies not more #$%$ WE HAVE A PLAN…BUSH had a plan too..Sadly it was the same Damn Plan..Waiting for the day that the Republican party can have a former president on stage at a campaign..Been a long, long time..Their policies don't work and can't work..Plain and simple..
Yes , every single american is better off, From Detroit ready to close their doors, Housing prices, dropping drastically, Banks , wall street on the Verge of collapse, Losing 850,000 jobs a month to the economy..No it's not the world leading Economy Clinton gave us all..But I'll take 5.2 million jobs added , 120,000 this month alone..Record Auto sales this year..My house gaining $3000 a month in Value..from the perils Bush had us to Here,,, Yes, just like yours has to be my future is a hella of a lot brighter today than it was 4 short years ago…And Then These FACTS that the five former Democratic Presidents (Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy, and Harry S. Truman) all reduced public debt as a share of GDP, while the last four Republican Presidents (George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford) all oversaw an increase in the country's indebtedness…And for all of you that ask it has been 4 years. Yes in fact it has been almost 4 years..But if you take a shovel and dig a hole for 8 years..It will take 8 years with that same shovel to fill it back in…OR a lot more money to hire more people to get it done sooner..So any of you that voted for Bush or is even considering voting for Romney..Please no WHINING and Crying when we have to spend Trillions and Trillions of dollars to dig our selves out of the messes they have created..Good Day..And Vote.
Oct 19, 2012
perhaps only the 53% should be allowed to vote. Karla, a dumb and uneducated comment.
Oct 19, 2012
Troy..the President got our embassies attacked? Just like George Bush was resonsible for 911? The GOP voted against increasing security for the embassies. Check the facts.
Oct 19, 2012
Karla, are you really so short minded , Do not remember waking up and wondering is my bank still open? Has Detroit closed their doors today? Losing almost a million JOBS A MONTH…No Karla it is not the world leading economy we under Clinton..But I will take adding 5.5. million Jobs added 122,000 this month..Just think how much better things could be if the Republicans would do their job instead of trying so hard to sabotage the election process..Karla in case you Have not figured yet..If you are not one of Americas 120,000 wealthiest people the REPUBLICANS do not give one shit about you..You are just a tool so they can drive this countries economy into the ground..FACTS>>NOT LIES WE HAVE A PLAN…yes same damn plan that has sent the last 5 Republican presidents into exile..Because they failed so terribly..

for those of you that are undecided..Just for a moment ask yourself this..? If Romney did such an outstanding Job as gov..Why is it that he can't carry his own state in the Polls and the election? Well republicans post because its a democratic state..Well ok..But he seemed to baffle them enough with his bull ______.. to win the election against a Democrat..And yes his approval rating in the beginning was over 60% but 30% in the end..Ok so he snowed the people and got elected only to fail..Now more important than just his record..WHY if the republican Presidents do such an awesome job leading this country, do you never see a former REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT on the campaign trail or on stage with the new candidate ? Yes you are correct, they screwed up the nation so badly the party has to send them into exile..They just don't want them to be associated , so that they can stand up there and say WE HAVE A PLAN…and thats it..Really people are so shallow that those answers to every single question WE HAVE A PLAN, wins debates..This is Important , there are no Mulligans, you are stuck with them for 4 years..I was republican , I lived as a Republican, fought as a Republican, I just decided 12 years ago that I wasn't going to die as a Republican..These are facts..Not Lies not more #$%$ WE HAVE A PLAN…BUSH had a plan too..Sadly it was the same Damn Plan..Waiting for the day that the Republican party can have a former president on stage at a campaign..Been a long, long time..Their policies don't work and can't work..Plain and simple..
Yes , every single american is better off, From Detroit ready to close their doors, Housing prices, dropping drastically, Banks , wall street on the Verge of collapse, Losing 850,000 jobs a month to the economy..No it's not the world leading Economy Clinton gave us all..But I'll take 5.2 million jobs added , 120,000 this month alone..Record Auto sales this year..My house gaining $3000 a month in Value..from the perils Bush had us to Here,,,Yes, just like yours has to be my future is a hella of a lot brighter today than it was 4 short years ago…And Then These FACTS that the five former Democratic Presidents (Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy, and Harry S. Truman) all reduced public debt as a share of GDP, while the last four Republican Presidents (George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford) all oversaw an increase in the country's indebtedness…And for all of you that ask it has been 4 years..? Yes in fact it has been almost 4 years..But if you take a shovel and dig a hole for 8 years..It will take 8 years with that same shovel to fill it back in…OR a lot more money to hire more people to get it done sooner..So any of you that voted for Bush or is even considering voting for Romney..Please no WHINING and Crying when we have to spend Trillions and Trillions of dollars to dig our selves out of the messes they have created..Good Day..And Vote.

Medicare/healthcare Ill give you! I still dont know where he stands there. But Im pretty sure he is pro choice and just doesnt want the tax payers to pay for it, his stance on taxes hasn't changed (not that I agree with it, but he has stayed with his tax proposals), and women's rights and gays are non issues right now.
Oct 19, 2012
@Rob Singer. Not a bad idea to have a Black country within the U. S. Let's see, oh I remember now.
That was done recently where all the whites were simply kicked out of the country and things have really gone
well. The country is Zimbabwe, where a loaf of bread runs about 2 million dollars. Recently the sewer
system in the capital got clogged up and they told everyone to flush their toilets at 7 P.M. one evening. I wonder
if this country is maybe Third World now. What do you have in that head of yousr – I know it is not brains!!
Oct 19, 2012
DUMB ASS TELL ME WHO THE LAST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT WAS , THAT did not declare war on some 3rd world country ,,IRAQ did not attack us..BUSH AND CHANEY's buddies did the FRIGGEN ARABS..you know the same ones that had lunch at the white house monthly..See that is our problem in the entire world They know these war mongers have to declare a war to smoke screen the damage they are doing to the economy..Why do you think the service BRAIN washes you to vote Republican..To insure a solid base so that when the rest of the Country wakes up and figures out the patterns..See If you are not one of Americas 120,000 wealthiest people , you do not matter ,they do not care about you ..You are just a tool..It is not by chance that every single Republican President Runs the economy into the ground…It what they do on purpose..Know that in a down economy the very wealthy do just fine..Stealing yours…lol..So Jeremy Really you still have not figured it yet..You will ..I think it has been over 50 years since a former Republican President could actually be out in public during election year..EXILED becaue use of the horrible job they did…IT's ALL in the plan..I switched parties 12 years ago…I'm 60 now Lived as a Republican fought as a Republican..Just caught on to their methods and decided I was Not going to Die as a Reoublican..Sad but True thats what they do…
Oct 19, 2012
Kit & Tuenesha, As a fellow Texan, I think you guys are a little blind to the rest of the country. You should know that Texas never really got hit that hard by the recession. Housing never really declined, jobs declined a little but nothing compared to the rest of the country. I cant stand either one of these candidates but I will vote for Romney strictly for the fact that Obama had the House and Senate for 2 years and got no significant measure passed except Obamacare that was slammed down our throat. Even some dems didnt want it. If you cant get the job done with complete control of the govt, you deserve to go.
Oct 19, 2012
Mr. Bower. You ran through the list of wonderful Democratic Presidents and were stupid enough to include Jimmy Carter. From the looks of your picture, you were too young to remember Carter – I do. When he left office the country was destroyed. We moved to a new state with a good job offer and the interest rate
on our new house was 12%, thanks to Carter. He was a nightmare and until now, was considered
our worst President.
You are also too young to remember Bill Ayers and his lovely wife Bernardine Dorn. I remember them
well from the 60's. The minute I saw that Obama had dealings with them, I knew our country was doomed.
These radicals tried to overthrow the U. S. government back then and failed. Now they are doing it with
this nice looking, smart, light skinned Black guy. Very clever move to kill the free markets and Capitalism and
replace it with Socialism and ever worse. Do your homework – the guy hates America and white people.
He was a member of Rev. Wright's church for 20 years and heard the sermons about, "getting even with
the whites". You and others will have serious regrets if he is re-elected, starting in early 2013. Look at
all the radical Czars he appointed – all Socialists of Communists. Go see the movie 2016 and Dreams from
My REAL Father and you would never consider voting for this man in November.
I hope you have a basement full of food because in a matter of months after Obama is re-elected, you are
going to need it to survive!! Good luck!!

More Facts Boys…The TRUTH.
$3.5 trillion – Economic changes (including lower than expected tax revenues and higher safety net spending due to recession).
$1.6 trillion – Bush Tax Cuts (EGTRRA and JGTRRA), primarily tax cuts but also some smaller spending increases.
$1.5 trillion – Increased defense baseline budget and non-defense discretionary spending under both the Bush and Obama administrations.
$1.4 trillion – Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
$1.4 trillion – Incremental interest due to higher debt balances.
$0.9 trillion – Stimulus and tax cuts since 2008 (Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, ARRA and Tax Act of 2010)[24].
Several other sources have used CBO data to summarize the results in various ways.[25][26][2..90% of this Debt is from BUSH HIS WARS , INTEREST from the Huge amount he added, And the gaping holes in the Economy he created..Good day dreamers..Truth hurts huh...There is Your Debt and Why do you not See Bush..Standing next to Romney,, Because they know just how much alike these 2 really are..Spitting Images of Each other...AT least the Republicans will have 4 more years to regroup and come up with a better Idea..What they Have done for the last 60 years has not and Can not work...

Oct 19, 2012
Troy, you need to remove the blinders from your eyes. Before you analyze Obama, try to analyze the men you are following blindly.
During the primaries, Romney said he would repeal Obamacare. Now he says he’d keep some of it. He said he would overturn Roe v Wade. Now he says he’s not against it. In Massachusetts, he said coal was a killer. Now he advocates for the coal industry. This month, he said, to the hearing of all, that he did not care for 47% of Americans. Now he says he cares for 100% of Americans. There’s not issue he hasn’t had more than one position on. I could go on all day, but I trust you get the picture.
What about Paul Ryan? Just this week, he volunteered to work in a soup kitchen. The problem is: there were no homeless in the place when he visited. So, he went to do the dishes. Problem is: the pots and pans he was washing were already washed and clean. During the debate, he said the embassy attack in Libya was because Obama ceded veto power to Russia at the UN. Really? He did not seem to know the difference between Democracy and theocracy in maters concerning women affairs. I’m glad Joe showed him.
Two of them are trying too hard to deceive America. If you have to undergo extreme makeover to impress America, then you are nothing. We’ve known Obama from the get go. What you see is what you get. Who’s the liar now?

Jason, come back from the planet you are on so we can tell you what’s going on here on earth. Where would you place Bush 1? What about Bush 2 who took us from budget surplus to deficit in eight years? You want Obama to fix eight years of bungling Bush in 4 years? Talk about clueless.
Oct 19, 2012
Kengeh, do you mean the unemployment your master Bush set in motion? Now, I know why you are such a liar. You father and his DVD dreams are liars. He taught Romney and Ryan how to lie

I agree "stupid people" should not be allowed to vote. Democrats are consistently shown to have a far higher education than Republicans on average.
Oct 19, 2012
You have had your comment responded to with a bunch of uninformed lies. Troy and the brilliant Kirsten have no doubt strong knowledge of their political system and could offer far more details explaining how Mitt' system of policies would work better but choose to slobber instead. Housing numbers up, employment down, a far more respectable world image ect, ect.. And remember, these people voted Bush!
Oct 19, 2012
What does his father and the colour of his skin have to do with it? You would do well to look at the record of "socialist countries" like Sweden before shooting your mouth off.

how can you vote for someone who does not have a plan to get us out of this mess? i'm a Vietnam Vet. If the republicans had a good plan I would listen but if all you are going to say is no, and make stuff up as you go, how can any clear thinking american vote like that? dems. or republicans. My neighbor is not my enemy, maybe we should try thinking as Americans I don't Know just a thought!
Oct 19, 2012
Worst president ever? Do you forget where you put your keys and leave the stove on often? How stupid is it you have to be to forget the lowest your country has ever been and how it got there. Oh, and I will give you another little refresher, the economy was strongest under Clinton.
Oct 19, 2012
The polls that are consistently accurate show Obama ahead.
Oct 19, 2012
The real concern is the answers that change so frequently.. He's pro-choice… then pro-life to get the nomination.. then pro-choice again.. now he's pro-life and will appoint 3 new justices to overturn Roe vs. Wade.. He's against the women's right to choose.. NOW he has to spin out of that one in order to calm the women down.. He's said .. medicare will have a voucher system.. now he says he will get with each side to see what the best solution is.. healthcare – he crafted the Obamacare .. most of it.. Now he's ANTI-obamacare.. Taxes – he is for lowering taxes without telling us how he's going to pay for anything.. He's already said he's going to appeal every gay rights thing that comes through.. poor gays… fighting against discrimination and they have to deal with that.. MOVE on already.
Oct 19, 2012
I guess you can't vote Karla. Your as stupid as stupid gets. Obama will win against the two clowns who can't remember what they said 5 mins. ago.

To all the repub-licking-their-cans here, stupid is as stupid does. That's you LOSERS. See you at the polls. Obama wins, landslide, biggest ever. Palin's look-a-like is going down along with his tea-bagging idiot running mate. Good pair though. Couldn't have put together such a LOSING team as this myself!!!!!!!!!

Oct 19, 2012
HE'S HAD 4 YEARS and done nothing. NOTHING!!!!! 2 of those he held the senate and house?!?!?!? Hes not a bad guy, hes just not a leader. Romney is not the answer either but I believe he can get the economy going a hell of a lot quicker than Obama will. And those are our only "real" options. Obama had a shot, he failed. Time to go and let someone else try. All the other issues are gunna have to take a back seat for a little while till we can get this country back up to status economically . Obama has proven he cant do that.
Oct 19, 2012
Facts you want facts….
-The price of gas – When Obama took office, a gallon of gas cost you $1.85. Today, it’s up to $3.59 per gallon (July’s rise was 17 cents a gallon).
-71% of small business owners believe we’re still in a recession — Despite government claims that the recession actually ended years ago, a majority of small business owners feel very differently.
-You have to work 107 days each year just to pay Federal, State, & Local taxes – That means you don’t earn a penny until April 18th.
-More than 30% of unemployed Americans have been out of work for more than a year – In 2007, that number was 10%.
-Low income America – According to NBC News, virtually half of all Americans are considered to be “low income” or living in poverty.
-Propping up the economy by monetizing our massive debt — In 2008, the Federal Reserve bought “negligible” amounts of our debt, last year the Fed purchased 61% of the government debt issued by the Treasury Dept.
-Speaking of “no faith in the US Dollar” – The price of gold when Obama was inaugurated, $850 an ounce. Today, gold is over $1500.
-The disappearing family farm – In the mid-1930s, America had an estimated 6.8 million farms. Today, the EPA estimates that number to be right around two million (and getting squeezed more and more by constricting regulation).
-Another (bad) trade record set with China – In 2011, our trade deficit with China was almost $300 billion dollars. That is the single highest deficit that one country has had with another… ever.
-A stunning amount spent on stupid studies like Why do chimps throw their poop? – Almost $600,000 of your tax dollars was sent to the folks who studied chimpanzee poop tossing, plus $198,195 paid to find out if “tweeting” makes people happy…
I can use google too gary! Just depends on where you look.

Oct 19, 2012
Its very simple, One candidate has prior experience as a Governor, Ceo , A Successful Businessman with a proven track record of success while the Oblunder continues to borrow away the future for our kids and grandkids. Obama has no plan at all to create jobs and the only thing he always says is have the wealthy pay more, Even though they are the job creators. His healthcare plan will further bankrupt the country while we lose good Doctor's by mass exodus. This idiot has not balanced a budget in over 3 years and promotes gay and lesbian marriage as normal?, I have no idea why anyone would vote for this amateur a second time.
Oct 19, 2012
yes I agree, so please don't vote karla,,, us intelligent people will vote the right way.

Kemmie, you are as about ignorant as one can get, Robert Harrison, well said. Obama lied about alot and even if romney is lieing, I do think he will have more leadership skills than Obama. I do think the Dems and Repubs are all crooks so I will be voting for (what I think) would be the lesser of two evils
Oct 20, 2012
Yeah Gary…..can you imagine future democrat candidates having Obama on stage after what his final talley on this country will be? You are just a democrat and that is all….Romney's governorship was sucessful, ran a balanced budget and left state better than when he took office. Approval polls are meaningless. Obama studied law, Romney studied business economics….simple as that
Oct 20, 2012
Robert J. Harrison and then Robert….who is the best candidate for the job?? The past 4 years have proven that the Democrat candidate is certainly not…
Oct 20, 2012
Kit Elliott …reguardless of who wins, this country is headed back into recession, any economist will tell you that. And recovery over the past four years?? You are in a bubble….sorry, about 5% of what you have stated is based on fact. Unemployment is NOT down, the benefits are just dropping off. Small business that made this country great is almost completely dead. Housing is only good for the investor vultures that are feasting on other people's missfortunes and losses. Banks ARE offering low interest rates but are not qualifying an unbalanced ratio of applicants, the middle class has shrunk like never before in the history of the US. I run a small business in California currently with 4 full time employees, in 1996 I had 19 full time employees and in 2008, I had 15….I used to pay taxes on a personal 6 figure income, now a mid 5 figure income. If Obamacare is ever enforced, I will be forced to close my doors completely.
……buy any distressed sales or foreclosed property lately?
Oct 20, 2012

To all concerned about the up coming election:
GOOGLE: SENSATA in Freeport Ill. As we speak Romeny, Bain Capital is sending jobs to China and closing a Sensata plant there. Mind you, the company made over $500,000,000 in profit last last year, where the average wage was $17.00 hr. not a bad starting wage. The Chinese will be making.99 cent an hr, 12 hr a day, 7 days a week. Romeny is doing this while he is running for President. How can he be tough on China when he is sending another 170 decent paying jobs there. He is for the rich only and wants the rich to control and destroy the middle class ( those of us making less than$ 250,000), as they move everything to China.
I would rather pay taxes, have a good job, than lower taxes no job or a lousy paying one. He alone has moved over 16,000 jobs over seas, that is HIS MODEL FOR AMERICA.
I hope everyone is very informed before they vote on Nov. 6th and not just listen to the water cooler talk. Make no mistake Obama isn't perfect either. The sucking of jobs has started already if he gets in it is game over! This is who Romeny is, MR. BAIN CAPITAL, this is how he made his fortune, and $$$ for his investors.Why would he change. Can you live on.99 cents an hr. Is this what we want for America? This will be our new competition.99 cents an hr.

Rachel Ledbetter Don't talk about other people being stupid you retarded Republican when your own stupidity shines through. You said, "your as stupid as Obama" No punctuation, no capitalization, and you said your instead of you're. You are the atypical repuke, trashing others and throwing stones when you live in a glass house.

Kirsten Goodwin Kitt is telling the truth, and yes I know, truth is something that scares you and you aren't familiar with, so you fail to see it for what it is when you do see it. I know, that whole sentence just F'd your little repub brain all up.

Jean Tang Wow, what sick words coming from a typical republican sick brain Jean. Your mouth is worse than most seamen.
Oct 20, 2012
Come back and talke to me honey when you finish high school.
Oct 20, 2012
Kirsten Goodwin What a scary, sad individual you are. Take off the blinders Kirsten, and open your mind. Once a month try to turn on something other than FAUX news. They LIE on that all the time, and have recently NOT denied lying when accused of it, because they even know they do, and YOU BELIEVE THEM! Sad… Sheep.
Oct 20, 2012
Jean Tang Jean, you total sicko. HAHA what polls are you seeing? You see the poll, then you lie about what it really said. Too funny how much you republicans just take truth and twisted it into lies. Rush Limpballs and Glenn Beck are the masters of it. I know you people admire them as long as it furthers your agenda of hate and lies.

Will, I've seen his anger and his indifference in the poor suffering cancer afflicted toddlers and adolescents in Hasbro Children's hospital! Yeah, what a wonderful god he is. All in his 'master plan' huh? Yeah, what a great one that must be.

Italy is doing just fine thank you Shawn. DOn't spout off your insolent lying drivel Shawn and expect people to just buy it hook line and sinker. Not going to happen, we aren't sheep like you.

Daryl Hauser The BOY? That's a hateful term like nigger for blacks/africans, frequently used by bigot, hateful, uneducated southerners during the 60's and as far back as slave plantation owners. It's ok though, you are just following in line with your hateful republican buddies in office who tell you that the anger/hateful is OK, as long as it's against the 'other side'. Keep being a SHEEP.

Gary Bower Good to hear you have chosen to be in the non hate-filled party, the party of NO.
Oct 20, 2012
Wow, look at the hate and fear mongering radical republican rbrthoyt. Great yahoo name btw, very anonymous, because you know you'll need it. Where's your facebook huh? Nevermind, you're hiding, I know. Gary will need food in his basement to survive after Obama is reelected. Yeah, that's what they all said about Y2K too, see how that turned out eh? DIDN'T turn out. Your fear mongering is delusion at best.

Chase, presidents, regardless of their party affiliation have no effect/control over gas prices, and you are a republican and KNOW THAT, but try to say that they do since a dem is in office. Same thing happened when Bush Jr. was in office, but you NEVER heard a republican say anything. Anyhow, to rebut that anyhow, you do know that the wealthy republicans (mostly) own the oil fields, and CONTROL THE PRICES (depending of course on crude availability and pricing), but inevitably set the prices, and of course, they will set prices HIGH when a dem is in office so that the argument that dems are raising the price 'makes sense'. Even though, any intellectual knows they both make major profits from raising prices AND, more importantly, make Obama look bad (again, even though Obama has no control over gas prices, BUT, dumb republican sheep don't know that). Keep spouting your lying Glenn Beck/Faux news talking points Chase, you will lose in the end anyhow, as good always wins over evil… remember that buddy. This is no fairy tale though, this is real buddy.

Karla, you are SO right that America has a LOT of DUMB people. Thank God you and I are not among them! The fact is that if dumb people, or shall I say intelligence challenged people, were not allowed to vote, Romney would win this election by at least a 40% margin!!
Oct 20, 2012
Meredith, I'm sorry to have to break it to you, but you are among the "unintelligent" that Karla was talking about!
Oct 20, 2012

Lord mitt and queen ann will treat you as what u are the 47%. don't forget it.

You don 't know what socialism is, you've obviously never been to a real socialist country. As for the economy, you better go back a few years to see who and when it tanked.

Bain capital has interest in almost everything else (voting mchines in Ohio, for one). Maybe they control the Gallup polls now, too!

If the war is over, Dear Meredith, then tell me why my nephew just got deployed over there? and with a pregnant wife here (due any day now) and having her baby alone???
The war is NOT over. Unemployment is at a record high. And if we let that clown finish what he started – WE'LL ALL BE FINISHED!! Don't let let the liberal higher education system spoon feed you slop. Open your eyes and think for yourself.

I would like to talk about jobs. When Obama 1st took office I was making over 88K per year. Now I am lucky if I get half of that. We really need to do something this election. I actually just run a small recycling shop now. We are located in Louisville and our web site is http://www.LouisvilleRecycler.com.
I really liked your blog and I hope you will visit my blog as well.
