...how Obama will spend his last few months in office? I would guess eating horse meat.

I'll be sooner than that.
Have you ever had horse?
"I need your strength for me to be strong...I need your love to feel loved"
Oh sorry. :corn:
I havent payed too much attention...
Obama HAS to be ahead in the polls...Right?
How close it it?
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I'd say 2016. The University of Colorado model has Romney winning and it hasn't been wrong but it has Romney winning every swing state, which just isn't going to happen. I'll take Nate Silver's analysis more. He has it tightening over the past week or so but still has Romney at a 33% chance of winning.
Close and depends on what poll you look at. The pollster model which takes hundereds of polls into consideration has Obama with about a 2 point lead nationally. Like I said Nate Silver is only giving Romney a 1 in 3 chance of winning right now.

it says - winner - Mitt Romney.
Regardless of who wins though, we all lose. They both suck.

Down to one this morning. His Vice Pres selection only strengthened him. And since he's the incumbant that's about as slim as you can make it. :corn:
And I object to the trolling comment. I mean if someone is going to post that "alternative lifestyle" escorts were booked up becasue the Republicans were coming to town I think this is more than fair.
If Obama is successful at getting Americans to blame people that are well off for the economy, or if Obama is successful at distracting the american people from the economy by talking about tax returns, abortion in the case of rape, dogs on car roofs, etc, then Obama will win and win pretty easily.
If not, it;s going to be really close and I'd give Mitt a solid chance.
My belief is Obama will be successful in deflecting blame and distracting and he will win re-election.
If the republicans would really be for limited government - reduce spending (including defense), completely overhaul the tax system (simple 1 or 2 rates, eliminate loopholes and deductions, etc), continue the overhaul of entitlement programs, AND get out of people's personal lives (gay marriage, etc.) then I think the republicans would gain control of the government for literally decades, maybe several of them.
This is the one I was referring to. But it also has every single swing state going to Romney, which as you know, just isn't going to happen.
The AP poll is the one that has it at one. Pollster takes the AP and over 400 other polls into consideration. I go by that one as it is the most complete. Ryan hasn't given him that much of a bump aside from a small one in Wisconsin.
I always like this comment...however the Democrats certainly like to get into people's personal lives via their wallet.

They certainly do. That's why I had the first part in there...the part you cut off.
I want you Moving Trainers to help me here...
Seems to me, the nation voted for Obama last election...
Based on his IMAGE...Correct?
Not truly based on his accomplishments, but more so based on an image...Im sure you know what I mean.
Anyway
Given the State of the nation after 8 years of Bush...
How has Obama made a difference in the last 4 years?
What has changed?
What has improved?
Economy?
Unemployment?
Debt?
Are we improving under Obama?
And I am serious.
Please give me some information.
Thank You
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
FYI - people are going to blame the republicans in congress for blocking Obama at everything. You know, despite them only having control for 2 years of the 4. They will say the first 2 were filabuster and the last 2 were republican control.
Obama doesn't do any wrong. It's the 1%'s fault, the republicans in congress fault, anyone making over $250,000 fault...it's funny.
You're going to get so many bars and graphs to answer your post it will make your head spin. For me it comes down to this. Has my situation improved over the last four years becasue of this administration? If you say yes...stay the course. If you say no...vote for change.
As for polls, I don't trust them. I think they're massaged based on who is presenting them, and I don't think most people who are asked give honest answers.
(and, in all my years, I have never once been asked to participate in a poll. I find that kind of strange)
That said, in answer to Speedy - I personally am doing better financially as compared to four years ago, but I will proudly attribute that to my own hard work. I've earned it. But overall, on the countrywide scale? Nope, I haven't seen overall improvement. Many people are still hurting.
I'm so tired of "image". Smoke and mirrors. Being thought of as "cool, hip". I don't give a fuck what you look like, as long as you step up and not try to blow a lot of hot air up my ass.
I blame Obama for plenty but it's not like 8 years of W and his awful decisions don't have lasting effects. How much money have we wasted in Iraq? Where else could that money have been used here?
I said it in another thread. Polls are only created to manipulate the public. The more you ignore them, the less attached we are to the media throwing out manipulating info...
I think it's possible he wins every swing state. From what I understand, their model is only saying that because the economic statistics within those swing states sucks so bad right now. The question really is - do you see those economic statistics improving enough to change the results by the election?

Exactly.
Im just curious as to what has CHANGED in the 1st 4 years under Obama.
How about "Obamacare?"
Is it a good thing?
Is it a bad thing?
Are you paying more for insurance? Less? How has Obamacare affected YOU the last 4 years?
How about unemployment?
Has Obama done enough?
Has he done too little?
Has the nation moved forward?
The Banking/Housing/Foreclosure/Property value debacle?
Are we recovering?
Are we the same?
Has progress been made to clean up this mess?
As a nation are we stronger than we were 4 years ago?
If so, why do you think that?
If not, why do you think that?
Just looking for peoples views...
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
The US population is roughly 314,200,000...I wouldn't look into the issue that you haven't been asked to participate in a poll too deeply.
I think too many people overlook the fact that Obama is nothing but a scapegoat for the system. Nothing really ever changes in a corrupt system, just a different head to blame while the system keeps operating the machine. If Congress refuses to change things, nothing changes, regardless of the head we're looking at. It's not up to Obama so you people who are distracted with "What's he done?" are wasting your time. Look beyond him to who's really in charge. (the machine)
Maybe I am not...
But thanks for your opinion.
