Every four years we hear the same refrain: "It's the economy, stupid!" James Carville coined the phrase when he served as a campaign strategist for Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential campaign against sitting president George H. W. Bush. Carville knew that Clinton could win if he focused on the bad economy instead of the candidate, George H.W. Bush.
President Obama won the 2008 presidential election against Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on several issues including the bad economy. Four years later, Obama faces a perfect storm of a stuttering economy: high gas prices, a volatile stock market, increased unemployment, and a crisis in the Eurozone.
George Washington University associate professor John Sides created a computer model that determined President Obama has two opponents in his 2012 re-election battle: Mitt Romney and the horrible economy. "It's not the only factor, but it's arguably the most important factor," said Professor Sides.

Obama is a great Orator with no substance. His speeches are real stem winders. Time for Romney to wind some stems himself.
this country was built on industries , and businesses supporting those inds' , america is a republic on a capitolistic base ,,,and with few jobs ,fewer income taxes paid "trickle effect " and so for past 60 yrs the govt. printed money & sold it ..but selling goods "was the real business ."
some are still thriving ..and some could have been still doing so ,but the support fact is over seas now ( mfgng ) and const , smaller businesses are dependent on larger ones ,there out sourced ,or off shore capitalists bring their money here & buy them change tatics .and use existing DBA ..then the asian bankers ,can smell a business in trouble & and well ya know the rest ..
I'm a PAUL supporter, paul was in congress before obama was a junior senator "or community org ..."and was a sucessfull doctor before that ,,but give romney some credit where deserved !
typical capitolist .......yes !
there needs to be a balance ......though there never will be one !
now with no more middle class ..it's a crapp shoot !
or revolt ..were on the same page ....!
Seig heil mein Cons, seig heil!
His failed RECORD.. WITHOUT which the Economy AND Romney wouldn't be anything for him to worry about..
But the MORE this country goes down the drain,, the MORE the People reach out to the GOVERNMENT and THAT is his ONLY ally..
Unemployment ( real ) has 1 in five out seeking a job. investments in retirement accounts , stocks and bonds stagnated since Socialist democrats controlled congress.
Half of all college graduates , Hundreds of Billions in hock for worthless degrees from diploma mills .
Large numbers of doctors prepared to give up practice due to Obamacare.
Massive tax increase due to Obamacare tax .
Electricity due to triple and quadruple due Obama's EPA mandates.
Food prices skyrocketing due to Obama's policies .
Companies closing and moving offshore, Rich giving up citizenship and leaving the country .
Billions wasted on failed electric cars, solar panels and other half baked ideas.
Failure to secure the border , Tens of millions of illegals given virtual amnesty
Obama sponsored international Gun Smuggling killing hundreds of Mexican citizens .
The list goes on and on , Obama surely don't want anyone looking at his Tenure , which amounts to whining about having the job and playing golf .
And beginning with 2008, they have sided with (or become) the commies and are now the "majority" who "Rule". As the $$ run out they will blame the producers and the rich, and will eventually succeed in bringing poverty and destitution to all.
thinking with common sense!
