President Obama opened up a 9-point lead in the most recent Fox News poll. Looks like all the negative ads and character assassination tactics are working. Negative ads may be bad for the American political landscape, but they seem to be working for Obama, at least for now. Do you think Romney will lose the game of hardball -- or will he rebound and win just in time for the election?

FOXNEWS.COM reports:
The president would take 49 percent of the vote compared to Romney's 40 percent in a head-to-head matchup if the election were held today, the poll found.

    The Obama campaign is spending more than it's taking in on attack ads...Romney hasn't really begun to attack Obama and his campaign has plenty of cash on hand, September and October will see the onslaught against Obama begin and he'll be underfunded to respond.

    No. FOX NEWS. Read The question.
    No one is going after the Governor. He's just not doing what everyone else has done.
    It has put the right in an uncomfortable position. (Don't answer here) but wouldn't it have been easier on his supporters if he had released them. Even you have to wonder how he made 250 Million dollars. All previous candidates have. Republicans and Democrats.

    I wouldn't worry too much about taxes when Barry has half his life sealed.

    1) the original, long-form 1961 Hawaiian birth certificate. Then there’s:
    2) Marriage license between Obama’s father (Barak Sr.) and mother (Stanley Ann Dunham)— not found, not released
    3) Obama’s baptism records — sealed
    4) Obama’s adoption records — sealed
    5) Records of Obama’s and his mother’s reptriation as US citizens on return from Indonesia — not found, not released
    6) Name change (Barry Sotero to Barack Hussein Obama) records — not found, not released
    7) Noelani Elementary School (Hawaii)— not released
    8) Punahou School financial aid or school records — not released
    9) Occidental College financial aid records — not released.(These records were, however, subpoenaed but Obama lawyers succeeded in quashing the subpoena in court. No other Occi records have been released.)
    10) Columbia College records — not released
    11) Columbia senior thesis — not released
    12) Harvard Law School records (not mentioned below, but not released)
    13) Obama’s law client list — sealed
    14) Obama’s files from career as an Illinois State Senator — sealed
    15) Obama’s record with Illinois State Bar Association — sealed
    16) Obama’s medical records — not released
    17) Obama’s passport records — not released

    Well, I must admit, your err "facts" are quite amusing. I will not go over all your statements listed above. But why not just use the "N" word, he is a "N" when speaking about Obama? How can something be "released" if not found? Suppose I were to say, "you know, I would like to look for intelligence. Those who would like to use the "N" word for Obama, but cannot, how high is their emotional intelligence?" The code word for "N" is birth cetificates, sealed this, sealed that. On and on. The Repuiblicans also have sealed parts of their brain, nothing gets in through that bubble. Climate change is an example of Republican "sealed brains." Virtually all Republican senators deny climate change. They deny it as the cost of cleaning up their industries will reduce profits. They deny climate change as does a male who has a certain sexually transmitted disease. It only hurts when I pee.

    With all of that said. Go look at Bush's records. C student, grades purchased in college, failure in the National Guard, history of failed business' and lets talk about my home state...Texas, thru his Govenorship Houston had the worst air pollution in the US. Failed policies that costed tax payer Billions....but he did clear out death row. Wake up you Idiot Box Addicts. Reality is right outside your window in the REAL world. Youve been a vitcim of mind numbing visuals and fictitious story lines. Clinton did it the best and was the most invited Pres. to Foriegn Counties. Obama brought world relations back to sexy. Bush has to hide for life.

    It's obvious you were a very poor history student. Your hate for a black president whom was raised as a white guy, as made you & others like you a bigot & moron. Bush spying on Americans was what the communist country made popular, yet you all turned a blind eye to that. You just another dumb republican.

    To begin with I'm not a republican, and if you think I hate him because he's black then you're very sadly mistaken, what I hate is what he stands for and had he done a good job in the White House I would have shaken his hand, you should really look at his back ground politically and for get about his race.

    Really? No one in 2012 will admit to disliking him because he's Black. But many, many do. It's in phases like "not one of us" "doesn't understand American values" etc.. But the RWZ are quick to say "You're just voting for him because he's Black" According to the Right the only bigots left in America are Blacks and Liberals.

    Did you check the Bush and Cheney record on the use of nuclear (uranium alloy) ammunition in Iraq? Hundreds of tons of this weapon of mass destruction was used to raise the cancer rates in Iraq 7-10 fold (depends which medical doctor one reads). The unranium component starts burning as the projectile speeds through the air, hits a target tank. Penetrates the tank, while burning at an extremely high temperature, douses the operator with nuclear radiation dust. Poisonous gases released to the tank operator. More fires start in the tank. Soldier, if not instantly killed, goes home with uranium radiation poisoning. Gets married, causes birth defects. "Honey, why was our child born with no eyes?". Talk about Hitler means nothing unless one also talks about Bush, Cheney. Bush and Cheney have to be very careful when they choose a country to visit. Several countries have standing arrest warrents for their war crimes. And some of our own Eastern states in the United States have standing arrest warrents for them if they set foot in those states.

    And im sure you and everyone who complianed about the health care reform put your kids back on your insurance. I have shut my Rep. coworkers up because the complianed and then thanked God they were able to still provide insurance coverage for their college student kids. I had to ask them "Why did you complain and call Obama a communist and socialist pig for the health care bill and now youre thanking God, why not thank Obama?" Their reply "*crickets and keys clicking on their keyboards*"

    So, as a genius investor, where do you put all your money? General Motors? Facebook? Or do you have some secret US based Investment that escapes the Tax and Spend vultures in DC.

    As for me I'd much rather have a smart investor in charge of my tax money rather than one who, through Acorn, insisted the congress force banks give loans to people who couldn't pay, then as Prexy claims it was the bankers who ripped us off.

    Actually, my guess is that you invest all your money in Union Bosses who will guarantee that you don't lose any income or benes, at least until after the company goes bankrupt.

    No, some of my money right now is in Moneymarket and municipals. I've got some left in stocks, but not very much. I've got a good broker and a good lawyer in charge of my kids' trust funds, and my husband and I have the majority in savings accounts, accruing interest. Not genius at all, dear.

    Sorry to break the bad news but Rassmussen reports, which has a proven track record of extreme reliability in presidential race polling, shows Romney up by one.

    http://www.rasmussenreports.c...

    Most of the "attack adds" are Obama attacking Romney for being a successful businessman. Romney's adds on the other hand attack Obama's record. Which is actually relevant.

    The simple fact is that, if, with his record deficits and his managing to keep unemployment higher than when he took office for his ENTIRE TERM, you vote for Obama you will get exactly what you deserve. So in 2016 when you're job is gone to India or China, and the US is in the same position as Greece due to the fact that the debt has hit 20 Trillion+ and nobody will loan anymore money don't cry about it.

For example: Rassmussen reports, which has a proven.............." How do you know this? I have watched Rassmussen polling results. I from personal experience would not agree with you and many others whose business it is to monitor polling integrity would have evidence to the contrary. Another example: "Most of the attack ads are Obama..............." How do you know this? I've seen Obama's ads. He is merely saying, NOT attacking "that to be successful you cannot do it alone. (The Republicans distorted this comment, took it out of context.) You need roads bridges, people..........." Another example" "with his record deficits........." The Capitalistic sysytem failed Americans. During Bush's last two years in office, what were the numbers on job loss? You don't know. Another example: "when your job is gone to India..............." During the Bush years, this country suffered one of the worst job losses to other countries in the history of this country. Bush promoted the subprime mortgages to keep the stumbling economy going until the next presidential election, hoping to win the election for the Republicans. Bush's last few years in office. Remember...

Banks were playing casino with customers money. They lost-came to Uncle Sam for a bailout. Please take a little time to be analytical and bipartisan before you make statements that are terribly innacurate.
