[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;424182]But, He was still born in Panama.[/QUOTE]WT, JM was born on a US military base. A US military base is considered US soil. Hence, he was born in the US. I believe that you can be born on US soil anywhere in the world and be considered a US citizen. BO still needs to explain how he attended college on a foreign national scholarship. I don't believe those scholarships are available to US citizens.
No one can claim that Obama has his priorities wrong. As a gift to his buddy Leonard Dicaprio of Titanic fame Obama personally approved a $529 million dollar stimulus loan to build a luxury hybrid sports sedan known as Karma. This sports sedan was assembled in Finland without employing a single American worker. The only car assembled was given to Leonard Dicaprio. Obama's comment was that $529 million dollars was a small price to pay if Leonard would hold some Hollywood fundraisers for the Obama campaign. Wonder how much of our money Obama has given George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Barbara Streisand.
On an upbeat note, maybe Streisand will make good on her promise to leave the country if Obama loses the election which appears to be a foregone conclusion. There is a rumor that Streisand expects Obama to lose the election and is demanding that Obama use stimulus money to build a chateau on the French Riviera for guess who.

BO is still leading in the swing states and he has a huge cushion of swing states he can afford lose, whereas MR has to win almost every single swing state. My opinion is that BO is still heavily favored to win the election. I can normally call an election 8months-1year in advance, but I wouldn't touch this election even in the last week of October. There are too many variables in the world that can swing this election one way or the other.

Team Obama is trying to knockout Romney before the convention and have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at him for the past month. Team Obama is hoping to after going super negative on Romney three months straight they can turn back to Mr Nice Guy just before the election to make Obama look better. For everything Team Obama has tried they have failed miserably to affect the poll numbers which have remained the same while at the same time folks are starting to get tired of all his negative crap.
Obama is his own worst enemy. A few more 'raise taxes', 'the middle class is doing OK', and this latest blunder 'you didn't build that' will further reduce his chances.
I can guarantee you after the Republican Convention Team Romney is going to start shoving Obama's own words, not only the recent screw-ups but his whole 2008 campaign of 'hope & change', 'most transparent administration', 'a uniter not a divider', 'change to discussion in Washington', 'Obamacare' right up his ass.
Obama consistently polls in the mid to upper 40's when polling the general public and drops to the low to mid 40's when you start talking about likely voters.
Historically those folks who are 'undecided' prior to the vote usually go 75% are greater to the challenger, which means Obama is toast. So if Obama can't get it up to 50% of likely voters by the end of October there is no way he is going to win.
You're whistling past the graveyard with that 58% crap.

Rioting in the streets?
What concerns me about Romney is that he has expansionary foreign policy but does not talk about ways to fund the expansion.
Also I am concerned that they will take away the tax in Obamacare but leave the benefits like children on parent's policy until 26 and no preconditions on medical insurance. His economics staff worked in the Bush administration and followed the same policy with the war in Iraq and with expanded pharmaceutical benefit under medicare or whatever benefit my Grandmother was receiving.
I do not think a cut in taxes will lead to a great economic expansion. We are not at the right point of the Laffer curve.
Plus I do not know if I can trust someone who has fucked only one woman in his entire life. He is not my kind. LOL.
Truthfully, unemployment at 9% should be enough to beat Obama.
Of course I live in California and I doubt Romney even bothers to campaign here. My vote literally does not count either way and hasn't for several years. Virginians, Ohioans and Floridians are the actual deciders.
[QUOTE=Black Shirt;424227]Do you mean martial law? Rioting in the streets?[/QUOTE]I think he meant the big O realizing the election is lost and deciding that the general populace is wrong and that he must remain in power whatever way possible. Four years ago I would have thought this scenario impossible. Now? Not so sure.

[QUOTE=Black Shirt;424227]Do you mean martial law? Rioting in the streets?[/QUOTE]OK, I admit, I've been spending sometime on the guitar forums, too (been fiddling with my JCM800 and such). I had a brain fart, but I won't go back and correct it, because, I am comfortable with being incorrect, once in a great while and have absolutely no quams about admitting to being human (kinda what got me into this forum to begin with-albeit a human impulse that is located a little further south, if you know what I mean.). Savor the moment, they don't come by very often.
[QUOTE=Doppelganger;424222]You're whistling past the graveyard with that 58% crap.[/QUOTE]If I understand that idiom correctly you're the one that's whistling past the graveyard. I am now a proud citizen of the Republic of Dominica. If the USA goes to shit I'm leaving. I don't think that will happen in 2013 as Republicans should at least control the House. But I'm prepared. You're probably not.
