Default Tough Day For Obama

Jobless claims up, more QE, not having marines guard the embassy despite knowing about threats, not attending a daily security briefing in over a week, a moronic statement about Egypt, Clinton kissing radical Islamists asses, an attack on our embassy in Yemem. Brutal day for the completely overmatched and incompetent Obama. Today was the first day that Romney gained on Obama and that Obama's approval rating went down since the Democrat convention. Sayonara to the post-convention bounce for this idiot Obama. Expect further gains by Romney.

LOL... More QE just locked up the election. Most Americans associate the economy with the stock market and with open ended QE the market will roar into the election. It wont completely fall apart until the elections are over.

Don't be so sure, the convention gains are now gone. The middle east crisis most likely will be the last nail in Obama's coffin. The snub of Netanyahu will begin to drive the Jewish vote to the Republican's which is a potential disaster for Obama's chances. The ship is sinking for Obama right now and I highly doubt he can get the water off fast enough.

If QE is such a great thing then why are we still not even close to getting out of this mess?

Did I say it was a good thing? Ever? It will keep the market artificially inflated into the election though. Now go back and read my post, Pointman.

I just retread your post, yeah all the people who are unemployed, underemployed, discouraged, or stuck in a job that they hate will think the economy is humming because of the stock market. Or those who see little GDP growth and continued high unemployment will suddenly think the economy is strong. You were joking about that right? Most people vote based on their own experiences and financial situation.

Really, you jumping on the conspiracy ship? Not that I should have to explain this to anyone, but be rest assured that while I know and introduced PD to the website, which the last time I checked is not against the rules nor have I seen anything that requires me to explain that to anyone, I am not PD.

Anyone else need me to answer any questions?

yeah, but that's just one poll of many.

http://www.voanews.com/content/romne...n/1507542.html

WASHINGTON — In the U.S. presidential race, the latest public opinion polls suggest President Barack Obama has built a modest lead over his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. But analysts say the race remains close as both campaigns prepare for a series of debates beginning October 3.

The most recent nationwide polls show President Barack Obama with a lead over challenger Mitt Romney of between three and seven points.

The surveys were made after the two party conventions and suggest President Obama received a bigger boost from his convention than Romney did from his. (did you see that last line, pain?)


.......note the gallup poll on the right hand side of the page.


and at the bottom:

In addition to a lead in national polls, President Obama also leads Romney in a number of closely contested so-called battleground states that will likely determine the outcome of the election November 6.

Speaking on VOA's Encounter program, Judd Legum of the Center for American Progress says President Obama has an advantage in the state-by-state competition for electoral college votes because he can afford to lose a few states he won four years ago and still win re-election.


a look at the polls, from slate:

I am still amazed that after that historic and moving speech Obama gave in Egypt a few years ago that moved Riot to weep, that his vast "understanding" of the region has been been so effective in promoting America in North Africa and the Middle East.

I guess we are finding out that pandering is far more effective in American politics than the real world.

These Middle East Communities just don't seem to want to organize like the Altgeld Gardens public housing project.
