Romney, Obama, bush, Clinton all work for Goldman sacs.. Don't believe me? Look at their treasury secretaries!,,


More than half the presidents cabinets are always Goldman sacs employees.


Look at their donors!,,, www.opensecrets.com. ( Goldman sacs and Blue cross own both sides )


There is no left or right, just two wings of the same bird of prey. Look into it or you are lying to YOURSELF

Which is why Obama is sucha greta overlooked choice.

Obama's greatest accomplishment was getting the world to respect us once again. NOBODY likes a dictatorial potus except ourselves. Oh jfk was such a hero!!! jism. Sure. He was. I agree. But we let it get to our heads and now we bully because everyone has to have their jfk moment.

We earn the world's respect by doing what they're incapable of, not by pretending to be something they're much better at.

I'm guessing the news channels you watch haven't been covering all the turmoil that's going on in the Middle-east.  We are not more respected in the world by any means, especially by the Islamic world.  Not only do they still not like us, but they also view us as weak.

@ Tigerlure

I didn't skew the poll to favor Romney.  Check again, it only now reflects the exact turn out of the '08 election.  But if you wish to think '12 is going to be more favorable for Obama (even more Democrats voting than Republicans and even Independents) then you go right ahead.  You're only fooling yourself.

@ Ali

And Reagan had a pretty shitty economy to handle when he got into office, too.  Unemployment was 7.5%.  We had the Cold War going on.  And GDP growth in 1980 was -0.3%.  While unemployment had only dropped to 7.2% (it was 5.3% his last year in office) the year he was reelected, the country was actually growing rather quickly.  The year prior, 1983, had a growth rate of 4.5%, with a couple of quarters ~8% growth.  Flash to now, in 2011 we grew a measly 1.7%.  And the 2nd quarter of 2012, growth was adjusted down to just 1.3%, from the previously believed 1.7%.  Let's keep in mind Reagan only added ~1.85T (~3.46T if adjusted for inflation) to the debt in 8 years, while Obama will have added ~6T after just 4 years in and not even come close to having 4.5% growth.  It's not the economy you are handed, but what you do to fix it that counts.  And the election will illustrate this.

I don't think you will find anyone that will will compare the state of the economy when Reagan came into power and the one when Obama was elected.

Reagan did not have to manage the fallout of the second worse economic crisis of the last 110 years...

As for the cold war, it had been going on for 35 years when Reagan was elected and it was far from being at its worse...
