Romney – the challenger – will be incredible. Obama – the incumbent – will be damaged. The question is, how severely he will be damaged?
Preparing for this debate has got to be the most depressing thing Obama has ever done. He must be staring at facts and figures that he can hardly believe – and then realize he has to defend them come Wednesday night – with his biggest critic, Mitt Romney – and the nation – staring at him. It's going to be terrible for Obama.
Unlike Obama, Mitt Romney has been talking about his plan to save Social Security on the campaign trail in the recent past. Though it is getting little to no coverage in the national press, it should be getting the positive "buzz" it deserves.
The blatant lies and the desperate spins generated from the "left" have been absolutely frightening. What's extremely sad for them is that they don't have a prayer of keeping the White House without creating lies and spinning obvious negatives into self-reported positives.
Many who supported Obama in 2008 did so because they believed that he would help black Americans. The criticism four years later is that having a black president in the White House hasn't helped African Americans at all.
Occupy Wall Street made the world aware of Wall Street's nearly-obscene inequities. But, unfortunately, that has been about it. How much has really changed because of the 12-month-old movement?
Republicans will continue to talk down the economy for the next two months specifically because they want the economy, and the country, to suffer in order to win an election.
The media keeps suggesting that the racism regarding candidates has to do with whites not wanting to vote for a black man, even though Barack Obama won a presidential election with a great amount of white support in 2008. What the media isn't talking about is the NBC-Wall Street survey results which say that there are basically no black supporters for the Caucasian candidate, Mitt Romney, in 2012.
Tonight, when Vice President Biden and President Obama address the country the question before them is an obvious one: are we better off than we were four years ago? The answer is equally obvious: YES!
Mitt Romney's economic plan basically says if you make $22.50 an hour with benefits, you make too much money; and if you make $22.5 million, then you pay too much in taxes.
Instead of getting rowdy at a demonstration or protest regarding the lack of jobs throughout the country, people can voice their discontent with the nation's current unemployment rate on this Labor Day by simply placing an empty chair in their front yard.
The state Treasury Department reports tax collections for July were $18 million below the $322 million budgeted for the month.
Nationally, unemployment rose by one-tenth of 1 percent in July, to 8.3 percent. The state had 12,000 fewer non-farm jobs in July than it did in June.
Many who supported Obama in 2008 did so because they believed that he would help black Americans. The criticism four years later is that having a black president in the White House hasn't helped African Americans at all.
Despite an aggressive campaign of job creation, a new report shows that New York City's unemployment rate has risen to 10 percent-- the same rate seen during the height of the recession in September 2009.
Obama would serve the country better if he quit the name-calling, went back home, and actually accomplished something for this nation.
Obama's latest speech on tax cuts for the middle class is just a retread of his tired class warfare rhetoric and strategy.
Of all the signs leading to a defeat for President Barack Obama in the presidential election of 2012, the most glaring sign is the 8.2% unemployment rate.
Five months before the presidential election, this rating is disastrous for Obama – almost as disastrous as the lack of any results for America these past four years.
Opportunities for those in the middle class have been shrinking, while low and high skilled jobs have been growing.
