Wow! Does Obama look pathetic or what. The only one more pathetic than Obama is Biden. The Obama / Biden song and dance is becoming comedy material.
Esten I know you are quite aware the move toward voter I.D. laws has been going on since before Obama entered office. Obama's DOJ has done everything it can to stifle the will of the people of the several states in the name of 'social justice' but what do you expect from an attorney general who lets blatant voter intimidation slide so long as it is against non-minorities as in the Black Panther case? . Voter fraud you ask, can you say ACORN?
The Voting Rights Act is a relic of the 50's and 60's which should be repealed. What happened to equal treatment under the law? Voter I.D. laws in states outside the umbrella of the Act have been enacted, have been upheld in the courts and have gone into effect. Only states covered by the Act have the additional hurdle of asking 'mother may I". from the DOJ before being afforded the same rights as the other states.
Under this administration equal treatment does not extend to that part of the populace who are white or southern, the only persons deemed to be racists by this administration have white skin; Holder and Obama's mantra is power to the people so long as they are not white.
Do you call this a racist tirade? Change a only a few words and I could be lauded as Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wight, Al Sharpton, Sheila Jackson Lee and all the other poverty pimps out there.
Get real Esten, the Democrats don't give a damn about who votes so long as they vote for them. Citizenship and eligibility are a thing of the past so long as they are loyal Democrats. Hell, even the dead get to vote so long as they are Democrats.

I think in his 2nd term Barack should look into congress allowing presidents to stand for a 3rd or even 4th term.
Most of the world needs a healthy, strong US economy, I know here in the UK we are suffering.
I know most of my north american friends / acquaintances are pro Romney but I hope that on the 6th November they vote for the only man who can lead America back where it should be. Here's hoping

Very rarely one party held the presidency for consecutive 3 terms after WWII. I can only think of Bush senior, who won after Reagan's 2 terms (plus Truman after FDR). Gore won most popular votes but he lost election.

Did you check out the new unemployment numbers? Unemployment dropped from 8.3% to 8.1% as 96,000 Jobs were created in August.
The job creation number is not what caused the unemployment rate to drop.
The fact that more than 368,000 people dropped out of the work force is what accounted for the drop in the rate.
That means while 96,000 found a job 368,000 dropped out of the workforce I. E. The labor department no long counts them.
The U-6 figure, which really reflects the true number of unemployed, is over 14%
Our workforce participation rate is the lowest it has been in 32 YEARS!
Wow, what a great job Obama / Biden have done and they are asking for 4 more years after this performance?
Realistically, I do not see how the president can increase private employment or influence the economy. The federal govt spending only accounts for 1/4th of the national economy. President has no power over the federal Reserve, an independent agency, for monetary policy. For fiscal policy, the president only "submits" the budget to Congress, which enacts appropriations. Anyway, the great majority of the budget is a "mandatory" spending- legally obligated spending, which politicians cannot reduce or increase. Plus, the president is a chief of only one of the three branches of the federal govt, and mostly our govt is divided govt.

[QUOTE=Esten;426092]The argument here is voter fraud. That sounds like a good reason, if voter fraud was really a problem. But it hasn't been.[/QUOTE]The Democratic Party has a long and rich tradition of voter fraud. LBJ in South Texas, the Daley machine in Chicago for example. And it extends to the present day. A Democratic Supreme Court in Florida almost stole the 2000 election. (The recount by a media consortium, which included the AP, New York Times, WSJ, CNN and others concluded that Bush would indeed have gotten more votes, if the recounts requested by Gore had been completed in the year 2000.) The Democratic Party continues to steal elections in New York, West Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin and other places.

On the other hand, to hell with voter fraud -- who cares. The ends justify the means. Maybe we should do as Flexible Horn suggests and give Obama 4 terms in office, since the country has performed so well during his first term. Median incomes are only down about $4,000 or $5,000 per family during his term. It could have been a lot worse. Venezuela did something similar for Hugo Chavez, virtually making him dictator, er, president for life, and that's turned out really well.

1. Lower taxes.
2. Reduce regulations.
3. Reduce the size of government (i.e. fire some government employees)
4. Reform government entitlements (meaning reduce benefits to meet projected future income)
5. Reform Social Security (meaning reduce benefits to meet projected future income)
6. Pass a budget!
7. Reduce the budget deficit, develop a plausible plan to bring it to zero.
8. Overturn Obamacare.
9. Secure our borders (thus reducing entitlements and local government expenditures)
10. Deport illegal aliens (thus reducing entitlements and local government expenditures)
11. Rein in or disband government employee unions (government employees are sufficiently protected by Civil Service protections)
12. Get government out of the fucking way!
Remember, "mandatory spending" is only mandatory if we don't change the program, which is within our power if we had a real leader.

Sorry, Jackson you did not spell it out.
I listened and watched the both conventions.
Romney said exact what you said, What He WANTS To Do, NOT HOW HE WAS GOING TO DO IT!
If Medicare goes to vouchers, they will run out and leave the retirees and those with needs fucked.
That will also affect our Vets with financial problems.
Oh, yes what did the Republicans say about our troops.
NOTHING!

Wow, what a great job Obama / Biden have done and they are asking for 4 more years after this performance?[/QUOTE]With all due respect, I think there are quite a few factors that you are not willing to include in your post. Amongst them, service jobs are the first to go & last to come back. Our manufacturing jobs were already long gone before the meltdown. If you lost your job and you are of a certain age, iti is hard to be hired back to the same level or profession. Many enterprises found out that they can actually be more lean and still be effective. Most companies are healthy but not hiring due to low demand for their goods and services. Many technical / scientific jobs cannot be filled by Americans due to educational deficiences. And last, your expectation that the US can bounce back in 4 years from near self.immolation is not realistic or fair. We are doing so much better than the UK and Europe in the same time frame.
My neice who has 2 Master's degree was laid off twice by LA Unified District because of low position in the totem pole. What did she do? She found in a job in Kuala Lumpur teaching pre-school, paying $60+ housing / car allowances. All tax free. Being single, she is jetting around on long weekends and blowing her money. Malaysia probably has the most public holidays in the world. In today's global economy, you should be trained and be willing to work anywhere in the world. Big demand for English teachers in Bangkok. There are all kinds of qualified & unqualified english teachers here, some with Scottish and South African accents that you cannot understand 50& of what they say. My friend's son turned his English teaching job in Tokyo to being a sales representative for one of Napa's famous wineries.
So whether we are for Romney or Obama, I for one will fully support the winner, at least until their policies are fully clarified.
First, I am not sure how these items are related to the issue proffered by my post (President has no power over state and local govts and the legislative and judicial branches in the Federal govt.) Secondly, some of these agendas are contradictory. For instance, lowering taxes would "increase" the deficit / debt. Border patrol / deporting aliens will "increase" regulations and the size of govt.

I will file Bankruptcy under O'Romney.
