Obama pleads at rally: ‘I’m asking you to keep believing in me’
By Olivier Knox | The Ticket – 4 hrs ago

Fighting to recapture the magic of his history-making 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama on Saturday laid out his fullest-yet case for reelection, pleading with struggling Americans to "keep believing in me" and hitting out at presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

"If people ask you what this campaign is about, you tell them 'it's still about hope.' You tell them 'it's still about change,'" he told a cheering mass of supporters at Ohio State University in Columbus, six months and one day before the election. "I still believe in you. And I'm asking you to keep believing in me."

Obama, his hopes for a second term weighed down by the stubbornly sluggish economic recovery, worked to convince Americans to view the vote not as a referendum on his record but as a choice between two very different candidates. He painted himself as the champion of the middle class and Romney as eager to "rubber stamp" House Republicans' goal "that we go right back to the policies that created this mess."

"We want businesses to succeed, we want entrepreneurs and investors rewarded when they take risks, when they create jobs and grow our economy. But the true measure of our prosperity is more than just a running tally of every balance sheet and quarterly profit report. I don't care how many ways you try to explain it: Corporations aren't people. People are people," Obama said, mocking a legally accurate but politically problematic comment from Romney early in the campaign.

If many more people will not vote for Obama this election, and if not voting for Obama means a person is a racist, ten we must have many more racists this election.

Can someone explain how that is true?

I believe in GOD. Obama stop asking people to believe in you, as you are no god. There is only one that is worthy of our believing in and that is the one and only LORD God Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, sustainer of all things, and the ultimate Judge we all answer to.

This kinda reminds me of the Star Trek episode “Who Mourns for Adonis?” in which an alien needed people to believ he was a god - without that belief, he would dissolve into nothingness.

AAC, that’s a great description of the egocentric marxist!

You are missing the premise - and pretending that that the world you are trying to apply logic to is not political.

Why not highlight the Obama gaffes - particularly if you want to build support of the “putative” nominee ?

And by the way I think it is fair to say when speaking of jobs that corporations are people.
