Time's a-wastin' if they don't want to see all their hard efforts towards the "worker's paradise" go to waste.

WASHINGTON -- President Obama got a rude awakening on his birthday from the swing state of Florida, where a new poll showed that half of voters don't think he should be re-elected.
By a 50-42 percent margin, voters in the Sunshine State who were questioned after the debt deal was announced don't believe Obama should get a second term, according to the Quinnipiac University poll released yesterday.
In an even bigger jolt on his 50th birthday, the poll of 743 registered voters found Obama in a 44-44 tie with the leading Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.
Before the debt deal was announced, Obama led Romney 46-41 in the same poll.
In May, the president's prospects in Florida were even better, with a 51 percent approval rating, compared with 43 percent who disapproved of the job he's doing.
And it gets worse among voters in Obama's new age group, those 50 and older, a key voting bloc in Florida.
Among older voters, only 35 percent approved of the job Obama is doing and 60 percent disapproved.
"If his numbers are like this a year from now, he's got a big problem," said Peter Brown, who conducted the poll.
Brown pointed out that Obama's numbers in Florida have gone south in the last two months.
"The debt-ceiling deal is not making any difference in that decline and any bounce he got from the bin Laden operation is long since gone," said Brown.
"The president's drop-off is huge among independent voters who now disapprove almost 2-1."

Debbie Blabbermouth Slutz: Call you office.
I do believe whomever takes Florida, takes the White House!
We Floridians can make it happen, and send the best conservatives back to Congress. We have just 6 Progressive/Socialist/Communist/Marxists to vote out of the US House. They are Debbie W. Schultz, Ted Deutch, Alcee Hastings, Corrine Brown, Betty Castor, and Fredricka Wilson.
We also have Senator Bill Nelson to send packing! We can make that happen too! Check out the conservatives running to face Bill Nelson. You might decide my pick is the right one for you too! :)
Among older voters, only 35 percent approved of the job Obama is doing and 60 percent disapproved.
Then they will bus in the black panther guys!!!
My aunt and uncle are in their seventies. Both voted for Obama. They have openly stated that they have never been so mad at themselves in all their lives for doing so.
