    People aren't as dumb as you may think. Barack Obama is one of the most intelligent Presidents we've ever had. Anyone that doesn't voter for him is either Politically or Racially prejudiced or just plain ignorant.

    President Obama’s claim that the GOP is mounting a war on women has proven to be a failure. A month into his assault on the Republicans and Mitt Romney, the new CBS-New York Times poll shows that the GOP presidential candidate now leads among women--and men.

    Since April, women have gone from strongly backing Obama to endorsing Romney. In April, Obama held a 49 percent to 43 percent lead among women. That has now flipped to 46 percent backing Romney with 44 percent for Obama, an 8-point switch.

    Ironically, Romney’s support among men has dropped, but he still edges Obama 45 percent to 42 percent.

    And here’s a surprise: Despite the media hyping the so-called war on women, no major outlet today noticed Romney’s new lead with women voters.

    “This is unbelievable,” said conservative consultant Greg Mueller. “The CBS story manages to not mention the change in women numbers,” he said, adding sarcastically. “No media bias here -- Obama is getting fluffy stories about his commencement speech to women at Barnard -- so we better bury the reality.”

    Only those who've not been paying attention to what Obama's regime has done to our economy and the country would vote otherwise.

    REALLY?
    What was it that Obama keeps WHINING about inheriting?

    Gas was $1.86 per gal when Bush left office! What is it now?

    Unemployment was 7.2 percent when Bush left office (the highest it ever was his entire 8 years). Incidentally, that was the LOWEST it's been under Obama. It averaged 10 percent OFFICIAL unemployment. It has NEVER been under the promised 8 percent since Obama's stimulus plan was passed.

    The housing market is STILL depressed!

    Obama complained about Bush adding $5 trillion to our national debt in his 8 years. Obama has added $6 trillion in just 3!!!

    Obama's policies have failed miserably!!

    ONLY an idiot refuses to look facts in the face enough to see that!

    using "Obama's first day" is disingenuous. The economy was free falling when he took office

    >Gas was $1.86 per gal when Bush left office! What is it now?

    Please tell us exactly how the President can control gas prices. Even when Obama was ramping up production, it increased.

    >Obama has added $6 trillion in just 3!!!

    Bush cooked the books by not adding things to the deficit. Also:

    production increased gtobama 6 3 bush cooked books adding deficit

    Oh, and since you're so informed, tell us how Romney (the 47th in job creation as governor) is going to create 500K jobs a month. Tell us how he's going to slash taxes and pay the deficit. Tell us what exactly he's going to do in just about anything. He's either vague or flip flops.

    Using Obama's first day is not only accurate and responsible, but TELLING!

    Especially in light of his senior advisor and assistant for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, Valerie Jarrett's own words:

    Obama shall "begin to RULE from day one.":

    it is not what he has done to the economy; it is what he hasn't. for example:
    STOP LOOKING AND LISTENING TO THE GOVERNMENT'S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE....IT IS VOODOO. THE 8.1% UNEMPLOYMENT IS B.S.

    LOOK AT THE "EMPLOYMENT RATE", IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOVE 60%, YOU ARE LOOKING AT NUMBERS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN MASSAGED. SINCE OBAMA HAS BEEN IN OFFICE, THE RATE HAS BEEN BELOW THE 60% THRESHOLD.

    WONDER WHY?

    Apparently you are delusional!!! Bush never paid for anything in his Administration, and ran as a business man!!! Romney is running as a business man, and you cannot see how similar they are?

    The Electoral College math is so heavily in his favour, Romney needs to be considerably further ahead, particularly amongst Independents, than his poll ratings currently indicate.

    A "User generated map." is someone's fantasy. It may or may not have data to support it. Below is a map based on polling data.

    thats also not accurate considering polling data on average has obamas and mitts numbers adding up to 85-90 percent leaving 10 percent undecided.

    No, the undecided is not a sign of inaccuracy. It's generally accepted scientific and statistical practice to say what you do not know.

    1. People forget that Richard Nixon was a very intelligent man, Jimmy Carter is considered an intelligent man. Both left office under a cloud of resentment (for different reasons). Being smart is not the only requirement to be President. It also doesn't guarantee success.

    2. Assuming someone is racist just because they vote against the candidate who happens to be black is inherently racist in itself. You are basically saying you have to vote FOR someone based on their ethnic or racial background. Voting for or against someone on that basis is wrong, period.

    1. You are an idiot to say that racism and conservatism go "hand-in-hand."

    2. You have idiots for friends if they call the President of the United States that word.
