Presidential Poll Rumor: Obama Reelection Effort Is ‘Collapsing’
Obama campaign collapsing?
You may want to take this with a grain or ten of salt, but former CIA counterterrorism official Larry Johnson posted a provocative item to his blog about who is winning the presidential election.
Johnson, who makes regular appearances on cable news networks, wrote that he was flying home from Florida on the morning after the third and final presidential debate. At the Fort Lauderdale airport, Johnson claims that he found himself in close proximity to various Washington news media luminaries including CNN’s Candy Crowley, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, and NBC Chief White Correspondent Chuck Todd, who also serves as the network’s political director.
Johnson says Todd was gabbing on his cell phone and made an interesting comment:
“Immediately to my right (on the other side of the security line) was F. Chuck Todd, oblivious to all around him, talking on the phone. I heard him say, ‘Yeah, Obama’s numbers are collapsing.’ “
With this in mind, Johnson insists that the journalists in the mainstream media are not leveling with the people about what’s really going on in the presidential campaign:
“The average American really cannot appreciate the level of incest that is the so-called mainstream media. They are their own echo chamber … Some may put on the happy face on TV, but they rarely tell viewers and readers what they really know. In this case, there are the real polls. Each campaign has a good handle on whether they are moving up or moving down. Obama is in free fall and did not do himself any favors last night …
“Obama’s angry, petulant, in-your-face histrionics did not sway the middle. It alienated them. That’s the dirty secret that most of the media knows and refuses to disclose to America. The election has shifted decisively in Romney’s favor and Obama’s ship, not submarine, is going under.”
Do you think the mainstream media is providing the American voter with an accurate assessment of where things stand in the contest between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor and businessman Mitt Romney?
Putting politics aside, is there anything more annoying than people who have loud cell phone conversations in public?

Pres Obama is doing quite well in the polls, and he has my vote too! He's an honorable man who stands up for the middle class and small businesses. Besides, WHY would anybody vote for the Republicans who created the recesssion in the first place? OBAMA 2012!

Americans are amazing and these polls are lying, who in their right mind would want a president who uses young girls in his ads talking about their first? OK he complains about Bush 6 trillion in 8 years which is totally ridiculous, while his 16 trillion and climbing in four, more than ALL the presidents combined since our nations history, lied about everything,
Acorn, Romney, taxes, healthcare, oil permits, Libya, Fast and Furious, our Middle East relationships, Mexico relationships, Bin Laden, economy, job reports, his religion, while gas prices have doubled, Tuition and purchase prices have skyrocketed, while interest rates are low and this is election year. Giving all our jobs to Canada and China, lets oil spew all over the Gulf and accepts no help from international community. Then he he has the audasity Romney a BS er while he has lied about everything while doing nothing. Not even attended a security council meeting, I don't believe it, I am from California and I see Romney signs all over the place and no one I know is voting for him, I guess people want America runned by the Chicago Mob and their Czars. Total ghetto

Teri, Republican's didn't create the recession. The thing that started it was the law that REQUIRED lenders to give mortgages to people who had no business getting one. That law was pushed by Dems. Then Barney Frank and friends complicated things by insisting that Fannie Mae, which was floundering with these bad mortgages, was doing just fine. Banks had to figure out how to market all the loans, and that's when they came up with all the creative financial instruments that ended up collapsing. Please do your own research and don't listen to what the mainstream media says. I'm begging you.

God you are an idiot. Are you capable of even one original thought? I've never seen anyone drink the koolaid like you. Obama has failed in everything he has done in the last four years. He has sold out America and our allies. He hates America and should be impeached, but at least we can settle for a landslide victory for Romney.

Vote Romney-
Why you ask? America deserves more than self centered leadership from one an entire nation, and the free world depend on to survive. “American’s deserve the truth”, his own words campaigning the day after debate to his unthinking mass of worshipers. “Bull Shiter” he calls his rival as he runs despicable campaign for reelection. What an embarrassment incumbent Obama has proven to be while holding the highest office other’s have tarnished over the years. Two wrongs don’t make a President!
America deserves more from a leader of the noblest nation to exist than a “Rock Star in Chief”! Open microphone catches the leader of America telling Russia’s leader to be patient till after his reelection! The news hears nothing to report on. The few true reporters who do listen to the words coming out of his mouth, are ridiculed by the controlled press. Sounds like Russia, not America to me.
“Freedom of the press’ meant something once IN THIS IF NOT ANY OTHER COUNTRY. Free from restraint of government control, for the people’s good. Our champions ferreting out corruption, exposing any who dared harm or cheat America, no matter the power they faced. Afraid yet willing to stand up to any, even if alone. When did the last one die? Why have none come forward to carry on? Where is he or she buried, the champion of truth so I may go honor him or her at their graveside? Will I find flowers adorning their final resting place, or will it be as barren as their replacements souls?
What form of payment, how many pieces of silver, to deny America Truth? We have to know as a nation, I have to know as a man. I am not afraid to ask.
them why, those views men we suffer today, its their reply to me I fear. How can I believe them, as all they do is lie. Change the channel and the story does also, edited or out of context, with smirks replacing smiles. Thrills run down one’s leg, as denial of facts are spoken as gospel, to gullible minds.
Evil exists today despite denial of truth from America’s highest elected in the land. Extremists continue their unjust battle over all America stands for today, and evermore, no matter what Obama claims. Campaigning forever during this first and hopefully last term, while brave son’s of America, begged for help and died unaided. Why? I’ll tell you why-
A cry for help drowned out by Obama campaign applause. With the release of State Department documents from Ambassador Stevens and others stationed in Libya, proves personal ambitions of current Admin outweighed their lives.
American’s have been told falsehoods, backed by biased media as Candy Crowley’s debate backing of lies prove beyond a shadow of doubt to us now. Why? What justification has President Obama’s admin for ignored pleas for protection, the last one on these brave Americans day of horrible death?
To win an election, while four of Americas finest lost their lives needlessly, is of little or no concern to certain so called News people today.
Many weeks of story about video allowed by them all despite growing evidence of actual terror attack. Why?
Read the many pages released , and ask them (The so called news) why the truth is so easily offset for personal reasons each of them have. It is not a party issue, it is a moral one.
Four dead Americans deserve answers, as well as their family and friends, and us. Their funerals broadcast on many channels, used as a platform to promote the story of the video, the lie. Why?
Why if not for the sake of reelection of President Obama? Why? Please give me another reason. Prove to me it is not true. I need to know why. Our people died begging for help from America, their country and ours. Why?
WHY? WHY? OBAMA?

phony polls, phony job reports, but the Americans know the truth because we are subjected to this garbage. Obama gave away 500,000 jobs to Canadian oil companies and now 70% of Texas oil to Qatar a Saudi company while we are paying double for our energy, food and if these are true why such an increase in food stamp recipients, they are saying how many jobs have been lost, outsourced and what the new pay is. The standard of living has decreased, our debt was at 6 trillion more than all presidents combined in our over 200 year history which was promised 4 years ago to be cut in half but only tripled, we have people on the east coast freezing without food and water and he shows up for his 1 hr. photo op and caught another flight to Vegas, but wants to give $450 million to the Muslim Brotherhood who is responsible for the murders of our Ambassador and Seals. He knew realtime within 30 minutes, witnessed the attack and went to bed, didn't bother to answer his red phone or attend the security council meeting the next day but CAUGHT A FLIGHT TO VEGAS, this man is not a president he is a total failure and disgrace, he is so out of reality with his $4million 10 day vacations to Hawaii, 2 million black bus, sickening. These polls are just like him liar, liar! Now campaign ads with little girls talking about their first, creepy!

A NEW DAY.
America will once again become known as a nation where dreams can become realities through hard work and freedom to achieve, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As a son of hardworking parents, born in a small town in Illinois, I experienced the joy of family and friends who reaffirmed our great republic as the envy and hope of the world.
I have seen America as a boy growing up in several towns and a city in Texas. I was an only child in a home where my parents through hard work and prayer provided moral support for a son to overcome asthma and other challenges. I never heard my parents criticize this great nation for they were too busy pointing out the country’s successes reminding me that nothing was impossible in America.
In announcing his intention to run for the Presidency in (11/13/1979) Ronald Reagan defined in his own way the difference between an American and others when he poined out that an American lives in anticipation of the future knowing it will be a great experience. We Americans in contrast to other people who expect the future to be a repetition of past failures are optimists. If there is one thing we know it is that history need not be repeated; nothing is impossible and Americans through hard work are capable of improving their circumstances.
I do not believe that America is in decline, weak and void of further greatness and achievement. Like Reagan I don’t buy for one moment the professional politician’s conclusion that our challenges are too great, our resources too slim to solve complicated problems. These misconceptions try to convince us to live with less, and educate our children that their lives will be less prosperous than our generation. Consequently, these predictors of lowered expectations suggest we shouldn’t dream and expect those images to come true, obviously these false prophets are wrong. I don’t believe that observation for one minute and that is one of the main reasons I have supported Mitt Romney in this presidential election.
The number one problem facing America today remains the loss of jobs. High unemployment is widespread and little is being done by this administration to face a growing tragedy. Millions of my fellow Americans are out of work unable to pay for the necessities of life. The cost of living is rising each day while our standard of living declines. This economic disaster simply is not acceptable in this great land. Companies must be reincentivized to restore jobs in America through lower corporate state levy’s coupled with dramatic reductions on federal taxes, and an increased worker capacity for exports. The government must stop overspending, over regulating, overtaxing, and reduce the national debt. Americans must never stand still while joblessness, rising prices, and unbridled government spending destroy the retirement, home equity and economic future of us all, America must come first.
