I respect both men, but agree seeing a President is a big deal. I recall pumping into Nelson Mandela in DC and an amazing experience. Despite the rhetoric from both sides, we should all be proud of our Presidential and VP candidates.
Senators & House of Reps? That's another matter.

Obama for America spent $millions trying to define Romney as something he's not. The debates defined Romney as something he is.....Very Presidential.
If you want the economy and jobs to skyrocket, VOTE ROMNEY/ RYAN.
The next president and vice-president of the US.

You are truly deluded if you think everything is going to magically "skyrocket" as soon as a flip-flopping Repub takes office! And what exactly do you mean by defining Romney as "presidential"?? Do you mean he is a middle-aged, wealthy white guy? Oops, you bias is showing...

I totally agree. I've been following Romney for 10 years or so. I knew he would make it where he is today. I just don't get where Obama says he has changed positions over the course of the last few months. I've never seen or heard him change once. He continues to support the same positions he's held for over ten years. I mean I understand in the nineties he changed his mind a couple times, but isn't a man allowed to change positions because of having an experience or knowing someone who's gone through something to make them change their mind. I guess not, I guess we are supposed to remain bull-headed all of our lives.

How can President Obama attack Romney for outsourcing when he did the exact same thing? The Obama administration has continued to make billions of taxpayer dollars available to the General Electric Corporation, mostly through loans but there were some grants for green energy projects. GE employs about 300,000 people. Fewer than half – 131,000 — are working in the USA.
Pinocchio Hussein Obama is good at deception and childish name calling, but bad for the U.S.A. He is trying to destroy the U.S. through debt. Adding 6 Trillion dollars to the national debt in only 4 years $6,000,000,000,000.00 = BAD

What drives me crazy if his use of metrics from the depths of the GLOBAL fiscal crisis resulting from a 30 year credit bubble bursting in all is "improvements data" (e.g. jobs "created", etc.). The economy clearly reached a bottom during the Bush-Obama transition, they both worked together to avert a deeper crisis, companies overshot with firings/layoffs as a result of fears, etc. Economy normally rebound like rubberband after such dips particularly after the OVERWHELMING TRILLIONS in stimulus. It's been a dud.
Nice guy, but made mistakes: (1) focused on health insurance reform BEFORE spiraling costs - just today news reported costs going up; (2) focusing on Obamacare before jobs & housing; (3) regulation (check out story yesterday of Chair of CBOT admitting confused by Dodd Frank), (4) NO long term fiscal plan for tax reform & spending reforms.
There is simply too much uncertainty in our economy. We needed leadership. Obama had a huge mandate when first elected and didn't owe any group after winning, but mis-managed things. Very disappointing.
Also, why would anyone compare today's economy with Clinton's 90s? They argue "we raised taxes then so...". I agree we need to raise revenues, but it's extraordinary disturbing these people don't understand the difference between now and then. Shocking.

Pinocchio Hussein Obama can be a smooth talker, but most liars are smooth talkers because they have to be, in order to sell their deception. Obama has already increased our national debt by 6 Trillion dollars. If Obama gets re-elected he plans on adding an additional 4 Trillion plus to the national debt, thus doubling the national debt to over 20 Trillion dollars during his time in office. You don’t have to be very bright to know, that will be very BAD for this country and our economy! He is destroying this country from within!
WHO WILL PAY FOR this 20 Trillion dollar debt that he is creating? Answer; ALL of us.

I ALMOST feel sorry for those you drink the Obama cool aid. Worst president in the history of this great nation. He has divided this nation, raised our debt, increased those on food stamps, gas in twice what it was, lied to America about Lybia.... the list goes on and on.

Both of you have so many inaccuracies in your posts it is incredible. Plus, no facts or scholarly sources to back up what you say. For instance, the President has almost nothing to do with the price of gas...do your homework. Your poor Repub attitude is what is REALLY dividing this country. The same attitude that congressional Repub's have. We really need to empty out the entire Congress and start over! That's where the problems really lie!! So stop looking down your nose at everyone who disagrees with you. "Typical"...sick of you people saying that word...it's generalizing about everyone else while elevating your opinion to gospel truth (in your own mind).

john I have to disagree with your point on gas.... the presidents policy on forcing oil drilling on private land (more expensive) instead of allowing drilling on public land /offshore (less expensive) causes the price per barrel produced to stay higher on the open market .... than if it came off public land, also blocking a pipeline that would add more oil to the worldwide supply keeps the barrel prices high .......simple supply and demand would be at play .... more north american oil added to the worldwide supply would exceed demand causing the prices to drop

John-- classic angry democrat response. Pick one of the many itmes I listed and forget about all the facts. Okay, if you want to believe the president doesnt control gas prices, fine. What about the high unemployment, increased out debt over 5 trillion, and what about lying to the American people about Lybia ? You gonna try to tell me those statements are not fact? I think not.

Jean if you would have bothered to actually read the poll you would have seen that their sampling was as follows
276 democrats
206 republicans
which is about 30% more democrats polled with that large oversampling should not obama be up by more than 5

I thought polls were supposed to be from the equal amount on each side of the issue, for example if you asked 276 males and 206 females " if males or females were smarter", the males would win by 70 votes (which we know is not true)

Polls are all over the place. All I ask is people do their research and ask the right questions.
"return to old regulations" - Err, Glass-Steagal was repealed under Clinton and Gore's big thing before Global Warming was "cutting red tape". There's a great Planet Money podcast about the regulator who surprisingly admitted it was his agencies fault (shocking the house committee). Their head would show up for tape cutting ceremonies with a chainsaw. We all made mistakes in the credit bubble. Lots of blame. We do need regulations, but it needs to be efficient and effective. Dodd Frank has some good, but way too complicated, confusing and currently IMPOSSIBLE to comply with as a business. We need more business common sense in washington.
In my view, the entitlement programs are critically important safety nets. They need to be gradually reformed over time. The fact Biden refusal to answer "Why not raise the age over time?" during last debate was a punch in the stomach. And he then asserted "The solvency of Medicare will be extended to 2024 with our savings from Obamacare", I fell off my chair. Not 2124. He said 2024. And that's with "savings" from medicare.
Rather then reforming healthcare, they want to suck savings from doctors, hospitals, drug companies, etc. We need improvements, but why not malpractice reform, ban cost shifting, etc.?

The Quote of the Decade:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

CNN Reality Check: Erin Burnett clarifies the "auto bailout" spin from the media.
I've heard from many (including our President during the last debate) that Romney "would have liquidated the auto industry".
Let's start with the allegedly Romney NY Times Op Ed entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt". HE DIDN'T WRITE THAT. His title was something like "The Way Forward for the Auto Industry". The horribly pathetically biased NY Times wrote that title.
This is the first time I've heard this. Amazing.
Romney merely proposed an orderly bankruptcy. Guess what, that's what ended up happening after taxpayor funding. A bankruptcy.
I was floored by want I learned tonight:
Here's the CNN link:
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2012/10/26/exp-erin-romney-2008-detroit-bankruptcy-oped-john-podest-andy-card.cnn?iref=videosearch
Vote this video before wasting your vote.
Ohio is critical:
"If President Barack Obama does win Ohio, and the election, he may owe it to a move he made at the very beginning of his presidency - the auto bailout."
Romney would have save the industry as well.
Here's some more from Erin:

Consider these facts before you vote:
1. Is the economy better off now than it was four years ago? Based on the evidence, I'd have to say no. Wages are down, the the prices of everything we buy is up. The price of gas has doubled. Good jobs are scarce.
2. Are the slight "up tics" in the economy a solid trend in the right direction? I don't think so. First, the gains are very slight. Second, I believe they are the result in the temporary stimulus by the Federal Reserve, in which they printed a lot of new money. It provides a slight bump now, but the cost will come later - after the election. Ben Bernanke is trying to save Obama's job, along with his own.
3. The continual misrepresentation of Romney on the auto bailout by the Obama administration. Obama appears to be taking complete credit for the bailout, while simultaneously saying that Romney was for liquidation of the auto industry. This is an absolute falsehood. It was Bush who initiated the bailout and TARP. Obama continued it and then expanded it, to his credit. However, Romney was one of the first to say that the industry needed to go through bankruptcy reorganization, and eventually they did exactly that. He also said that any needed loans should come from the private sector. He never said that the industry should be liquidated, or that he would deny federal funds if he were president, and private sector funds were not available. Obama lies!
4. The Benghazi coverup and lies.
Obama is a failure

See for yourself....debt when Obama took over - $10 Trillion
http://www.usdebtclock.org/
Obama will say anything to get elected. Just look at 2008 when called Bush a sitting president unpatriotic and irresponsible. No respect and all lies since he has made it all much worse.
Candidate Obama: "The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back - $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic." (July 3, 2008)
Ok OBAMA the debt IS bad......
FORWARD to 2012
"The problem is, is that the way OBAMA has done it over the last 4 years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $9 trillion for the first 43 presidents – #44 added $7 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $16 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back - $50,000 for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic."

Obama’s and his Democrat Senator pals 2010 budget spent $283 Billion more in just 1 year. That’s a 15% increase……in 1 year!!
Look at the increased spending in WELFARE……$211 BILLION!!!! 1 year!!!
Did our Senator VOTE YES to do this knowing there was NO MONEY to pay for it and ADDING more burden to our poor children and grandchildren.
