In His Own Words




"Today I am pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. Now, this will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we've long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay, and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control."

President Barack Obama

  1. so they kicked the can....
    ...and did every thing in their power to prop it up...so it didn't fall on their watch

    ...so they can blame the republicans later

    How is it "worse than we thought"....when the democrats had a super majority and were there the whole time?

  3. Jer, I still can't see where they are getting these numbers from...

    ex. 50% Romney and 47% Obama

    The numbers just can't really be there...

    in 2008...
    28% of Republicans voted
    almost 100% of democrats voted
    we had the highest number of people running in history....23 candidates...and most of them because McCain wasn't conservative enough
    Some repubs even voted for Obama....

    Those 20 something people pulled votes away from McCain..
    about 9 million votes...counting the blanks and writeins....no liberal or democrat left it blank, did a writein, of voted for someone else

    Obama only won by 9.5 million votes...

    It's the opposite this time....no other candidates, no one is going to split the republican vote...almost 100% of republicans are predicted to vote...and only around 60% of democrats are predicted to vote

    How in this world are they getting these numbers? I still say 2/3 of this country did not vote for Obama...

    212,000,000 eligible voters
    X 33%
    ~69,000,000 votes Obama got

    If 2/3 of this country did not vote for him, when he was on the top...
    ...how are they getting such close numbers now?

    I don't get it!

    2. thanks!

      over 100,000 people in, I think it was Nevada, wrote in Santa Clause in 2008

      I forget how many people voted, but voted for everything but president, they left president blank

      I ran their numbers on Ohio last night, using their projected turnouts, Romney is way ahead...

      ...when I ran it for the whole country, Obama is going to have to get every vote he got last time, plus another 8 million, just to break even

  4. Lastly (for now), I noted yesterday some evidence that Romney may be doing well with some segments of the Jewish vote. Well, the Chicago Jewish Star has endorsed Romney:

    Finally we like Mr. Romney in comparison to his opponent. The administration of Barack Obama has been a failure. . .

    Contrary to the implications of Mr. Obama’s 2008 statement, Americans provided for the sick before his time; the rise of the oceans did not begin “to slow” and our planet did not begin “to heal”- not in a metaphoric sense and not in a real one. . .

    Mr. Obama’s unsatisfactory direction for America was rooted in untenable assumptions, fueled by arrogance, and promoted by divisiveness. We don’t need more of that.

    It is not only that Mr. Obama thus deserves to be a one-term proposition; it is that Mr. Romney is simply the better bet for our country.

  5. My last post was from the side bar"wheels coming off". I am having trouble linking and prefacing today. I think I need to open two windows or something.
