The Gallup Organization had some bad news for Barack Obama on Friday. It's not that Obama fell behind Mitt Romney by two points in Gallup's daily tracking poll, although that couldn't have helped the the O-Team's spirits heading into the weekend. Between now and the election, polls are likely to be less stable than Joe Biden's thought process. The really bad news for the Chicago mob is that Gallup's unemployment survey shows the Obama economy is getting even worse. Gallup reported an uptick in joblessness in their latest survey of 30,000 households.

This line of excuse making is very childish, and I think that Americans have lost respect because of it. If I hired you to turn around my company (after you had insisted that you, and only you had all the answers), and four years later you were still blaming the previous CEO for problems that are apparantly beyond your ability to fix, I would send you packing.
Look, no president comes in with a blank slate. Every one of them comes into office with problems that are years, and sometimes decades in the making. Very few presidents have fallen back on the "it's the previous guy's fault" excuse that Obama contiually uses. Its belies a lack of leadership ability and is extremely un-Presidential. Know this, if he gets re-elected, you can count on four more years of responibility-ducking. It's in the boy-President's make up.
On Dec 21, 2012, Obama will have had a little over a month to stew in his humiliating, crushing and unexpected defeat at the hands of the American people.
Hell still be Commander in Chief.
Hell still have the nuclear football. Just sitting there. Staring at him. Taunting him. Daring him. Double-eaten-dog daring him...
It does look like he’s starting to blame is second in command.
Maybe next he’ll prepare three envelopes?
Obama will convince his parasitic base that evil, greedy conservatives are holding on to their ill-gotten gains for the purpose of destroying the economy and making him look bad.
Worse than that is the fact that they’ll actually believe it.
...and don’t forget “we didn’t know how awful the mess was that we inherited from Bush.” That still plays well with the parasite and looter class.
I would like to add that Obama and Reid and most of the media will be telling their followers that what really matters is what tax rate Mitt Romney will end up paying. To them that matters more than anything else and Obama knows it
You are not cryin' Mayan, here, are you?
Why would you say that???
lol!
He’ll go back to community organizing... the new black panthers...
I assume you agree that Romney will win the McCain states plus easily re-take NC and IN, as well as winning FL, OH and VA (Bush won these 3 states in 2000 and 2004) - thus totaling 266EVs. What other states do you see Romney winning to get to 300+? Are you concerned about Virgil Goode siphoning votes from Romney in VA? And seniors being concerned with Ryan?
Of course it’s going to get worse. Summer is ending, and with it the seasonal jobs. The real unemployment rate is around 15%, and higher if you include underemployment like part time jobs.

In what I think was a very smart move, yesterday Ryan said, yes, Obama did inherit a faltering economy BUT he’s had time to fix it and whining won’t do. Well, maybe that’s not exactly what he SAID but it was the message.
They may push up Christmas this year for its seasonal employment. Christmas season officially will start the day after Labor Day.
How about WI?
I agree on WI. I also think IO NH CO PA.
lol
Joblessness? Obama just added 1.5 million folks to the mix with his deferred whatever it’s called of illegal immigrant youth up to age 30.
We were out shopping recently and walked past the school supply section of the store. Normally, when school has started back, by 2 weeks into the school year, there are very few school supplies left. This year, the supplies are not all gone. I usually stock up to try to make it through the year without having to purchase anything else unless it’s a poster board for a special project. I bought the bare minimum this year. I could be wrong, but I think I am not alone. The economy is really, really bad. But no worries. We are still burning food for gas. We can all breathe a little easier while sitting at home eating refried beans.
Speaking solely for myself, that's EXACTLY what I've been doing since the POS got elected. I haven't purchased a single NEW item (save for food and clothes) since he won. I've learned to fix things myself (Dishwasher, Washing Machine, Clothes Dryer, Furnace, Lawn Mower and even TV's) to avoid making a major purchase, and cut my montly budget to bare minimum's.
We haven't eaten out since November of 2008. My cars are 4 and 10 years old. The computer I'm typing this on is 6 years old.
I refuse to do *anything* that may boost this economy until that POS is out of the White House, period. I've stuck to it for 45 months now.
