    This November is going to be a LANDSLIDE in Mitt Romney's favor.

    I guarantee it. The future of America is counting on it.

    They'll lose a lot less than if Romney is president I'll tell you that right now. According to the polls today Obama's RCP score is +3 over Romney, Same on the Gallup Poll, Intrade a website where you could place bets on future events has said the smart money is on Obama. Outside Rasmussen not much happening on team Romney.

    It's happened before....a POTUS gets the delegates, but doesn't get the popular vote. It will be a tragedy for the USA if it happens this time around. Obama [no PBUH] lies every time his mouth moves, & that is intolerable.

    923 Executive Orders in 40 Months
    During my lifetime, All Presidents have issued Executive Orders, for reasons that vary, some more than others. When a President issued as many as 30 Ex. Orders during a term in Office, people thought there was something Amiss.


    WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT 923 EX. ORDERS IN ONE PART OF ONE TERM
    ?????? YES, THERE IS A REASON.
    IT IS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS DETERMINED TO TAKE CONTROL AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND
    THE SENATE.
    Even some Democrats in the House have turned on him, plus a very small number of
    Democrat Senators question him.
    HE SHOULD BE QUESTIONED. WHAT IS HE REALLY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH ????
    DOES THIS SCARE YOU AS MUCH AS IT DOES Me?
    Not really surprising that he appointed "Czars" to be in charge of everything.
    Emperor Obama ?
    Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
    ....THIS IS NOT FUNNY, AND IF YOU VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN, YOU CAN EXPECT MORE!

    Remember what he told Russia's Putin: "I'll be more flexible after I'm re-elected".

    THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: Obama has signed 923 Executive Orders in 40 months!
    What did Congress do in those 40 months? (The House - considerable. The Senate
    -nothing, not even a budget nor allowing any House bill to be considered.) A
    whole new order must prevail ...

    whole new order must prevail in Wash. DC as a result of this next election! Now
    look at these:
    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of
    transportation and control of highways and seaports.
    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the
    communication media.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power,
    gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.


    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and
    farms.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work
    brigades under government supervision.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education
    and welfare functions.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the of all persons. Postmaster General to
    operate a national registration


    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to
    take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate
    communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be
    abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland
    waterways and public storage facilities.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal
    departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued
    over a fifteen year period.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency
    Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in
    times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce
    the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to
    establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate
    penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

    -EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to
    develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and
    distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money
    in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also
    provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress
    cannot review the action for six months.


    Feel free to verify the "executive orders" at will... and these are just the
    major ones I'm sure you've all heard the tale of the "Frog in the Pot"... you
    all comfortable???
    Watch Obama's actions, not his words! By his actions he will show you where
    America is headed.

    . Just this week, Obama has issued a new executive order that seeks to
    "harmonize" U.S. economic regulations with the rest of the world. This new
    executive order is yet another incremental step that is pushing us closer to a
    North American Union and a one world economic system.

    romney is not a popular candidate, he will not get the popular vote, but this time we have to look for the future of our kids, for our country for the well being and future of our parents and for us, I don't like romney, but I like less obama therefore I will vote against obama.

    I put no faith in polls either way. Carter led Reagan by a wide margin for a long time, kerry lead Bush all the way to election day, the liberal press exit polls were widely reporting kerry was winning, polling leaned heavily liberal in the 2010 mid term elections... we all know what happened in all these examples and Im sure there are more.
    I for one firmly believe the liberals are in for another "2010" in the coming elections including the presidential election, and the liberal media will stop at nothing to divert attention from the inevitable.

    Any poll that has Obama up and over Romney is a rigged poll that has over sampled democrats. Obama's failure on the economy and domestic policy was evident to anybody. Now his foreign policy failures are becoming common knowledge. This election could be a Romney landslide. Not to mention the debates make or break elections.

    Obviously it was not evident to you. Stocks are 4% from an all time high. President Obama recovered a bad recession in under 3 years! We have had 1 year of positive growth in home values since bush-whacked's housing market disaster. My guess is that you don't know about any of this as you are just complaining which means that you are not too bright and you are most likely renting, someone else's home! Sorry man. Try President Obama's College Graduation Program. It might help your situation out a lot!

    Where is the recovery? Where are the jobs? And speaking of Collage Why are tuition prices just as high or higher since the "Chosen" one took office. Obama promised lower tuition. Your the one that's not too bright if you think the economy has recovered. Obama can't even pass a budget! Obama had 2 years of a dem congress and senate and all he did was waste it on the Blank Check bill stimulus and Obamacare. Prices have gone up at the pump. Something else he promised. Your drinking the Kool aid if you think Obama has "Changed" the economy for the better. And oh ya the muslim world love us once we put Barrack "Hussain" Obama in office that was another promise.

    "Where is the recovery? Where are the jobs?"

    Unemployment down nearly 2% from its peak in early 2010. 4.25 million new private sector jobs since mid-'10. Twenty three straight months now of job growth. Compare that to the 4.3 million jobs Bush lost in his final year in office, including 818K in his final month alone.

    Actually, Obama only has a net of 3.75 million jobs because, unlike his predecessor who expanded the federal government, Obama has reduced it by 600K jobs. What's that? I thought conservatives LIKE smaller government.

    Um, that's "college", please. Apparently, you've never been.

    Now your just making things up. If Obama HAD created 4.25 million or 3.75 million it would be all over the news.

    The reality is its 15% unemployment/Underemployment/and that have given up "Hope" and stopped looking. Obama promised unemployment wouldn't go above 8% if we passed the "Stimulus" bill. Its gone above 10% and hasn't moved down since.

    He has not reduced the size of government. He's grown it. What part did he reduce? The military the only place in government that liberals love to shrink?

    I have been to collage. And I have served in the United Sates Marine Corps.

    Your God-king Obama has failed and its evident to everybody. You voted for NO EXPERIENCE and you got it. If 2008-20012 is what "Change" is then WHAT is moving "Forward". So we've been moving backward for the last 4 years? After all turning NASA into a muslim outreach center has really made the middle-east love us hasn't it.

    But you still haven't learned to spell it. I'd ask for my money back.

    "If Obama HAD created 4.25 million or 3.75 million it would be all over the news."

    Uh, sorry -- it WAS. The DNC tossed around 4.5million repeatedly for a week on national TV, and the MSM wasted countless trees dissecting it.

    Here are the numbers direct from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics:

    http://data.bls.gov/timeserie...

    What's most striking about the numbers isn't how Bush's numbers had been trending downward throughout nearly his entire second term. It isn't how precipitously the economy fell over during his disastrous final year, shedding a staggering 4.5 million jobs -- heck, Obama lost nearly as many during his first thirteen months.

    It's not the numbers, it's the graph. Bush's final year is a picture of an economy in freefall, plummeting downward out of control. Obama's first year is a complete mirror image. The graph reverses almost literally the day Obama took office, due in part to the stimulus package he passed during his first hundred days. It took Obama more than a year to drag the job numbers out of the negative, and the graph has gone pretty flat since late 2010, but at least it's on the right side of the X axis.

    Yes, I know you can get into all kinds of discussion about ...

    Yes, I know you can get into all kinds of discussion about what kind of jobs Obama has created, about whether the unemployment rate is down because people are getting jobs or because they're leaving the workforce. But you can't argue with the graph.

    (BTW, that temporary spike between Feb and July of 2010 is the hiring and later releasing of 700,000 temporary census workers.)

    You are REALLY drinking the Kool Aid if all you can site is the DNC convention ground Zero for Obama Propaganda.

    The numbers you just referenced show no substantial "Change" in employment. The reason the economy hasn't "Changed" is because of Obama's taxes and regulations. Companies aren't going to take any chances on growth when they have to spend most of their revenue on Obama's redistribution tax. People are sitting on their money because they don't know where Obama and the government are going to hit them next. Once Obama's gone companies will take a chance and spend money on that new building that needs to be filled with jobs or create a new dept that needs jobs. That's where the jobs are.

    You can't defend Obama because you haven't even attempted to defend his foreign policy. All you can do is attack my spelling.

    "... if all you can site is the DNC convention"

    [That's "cite".]

    Hmm, did you actually read my post? I mentioned the DNC because you claimed the number hadn't been "all over the news", when in fact the MSM has been reporting on it endlessly the past few weeks.

    As for who I cited, I sent you straight to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, whose numbers you haven't even attempted to dispute.

    You asked, "Where are the jobs?" I gave you the answer: the BLS shows the economy has added 4.3 million jobs in the last 30 months.

    So I'll ask: do you dispute the BLS numbers?

    "You can't defend Obama because you haven't even attempted to defend his foreign policy."

    Foreign policy? What's foreign policy got to do with this discussion? We're talking about jobs. Please DO try to stay on topic.

    Do I think the economy has recovered? Not by a long shot. Do I think it's moving in the right direction? Yes, but too slowly. Do I think Obama's doing a good job on the economy? I'm quite impressed with his first thirteen months in office, a bit more ambivalent since then.

    Am I voting for Obama? No.

    Any more questions?

    obama will certainly get three of the top 5 states of population by wide margin (California, New York & Illinois). However, throughout the "Heartland" of America, obama is hated and despised so much more than ANY President in my memory! He will not only loose those states, but he will lose them very CONVINSINGLY!

    obama looses by 5 to 6% percent in the popular count and by close to 70 votes!

    Well, I will be one who will admit that the Dems did good on their convention! However, the ONLY thing it did was bring back some of the dems that had left the party and did not go after the Independents or old "blue dog" dems.

    Don't forget that Jimmy Carter had a 10 point lead on Reagan till the last three months! Of course, he did not have the Main Stream Media like obama has in his back pocket!
