First, I thought The Fed Reserve re-elected him when it recently announced QE3.

Then came the "miracle" unemployment figures.

What's next? I'm guessing the Dow will finally make all time highs right before the election...

My share portfolio has increased 2% since the debate Wednesday! Except NCM.

Obama is a clever man. Debate one was designed (IMO) to give Romney the rope to feel more cocky.
-- tell more untruths expecting no-one to bother about details and facts.

Obama fought some of those subsequent cocky untruths on Wed.
-- but why not Romney's Bain Capital to show his business 'acumen'???:

Romney was 'Pretty Woman's Richard Gere character!

Obama will strike with a hot iron next Tuesday our time (noon SBS) and I expect new house approvals, unemployment figures etc etc to show improvement circa this debate.

The US is China's biggest trading partner but China owns a plethora of US notes!!
China is currently pulling in on the county's bubbles in housing investment/building etc .
Cocky Romney threatens $1 trillion for the defence budget 'in case (they) have trouble with China not reducing the value of the yuan'. (to repay lobbyists, PACs and super PACs?)

Mitt Romney not only accepts big checks from these lobbyists, but as president he'd hire those same lobbyists in top-level positions. A report just this week said: "Industry insiders believe that Mitt Romney will unshackle the revolving door and give lobbyists a shot at the government jobs their Democratic counterparts have been denied for the past four years."

'We could get the head of the junk food industry as the Secretary of Health and Human Services. An oil executive as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency'.

dont quote me out of context.... obama and romney are peas in a pod, the same sh*t just a different shade... romney may be slightly ahead just due to the fact he is not a 'weatherman' acolyte... if you dont know what i mean then google it!
 
Had to laugh at Obama's speech quip at the charity gala Thursday night (US time).
(He and Romney drew high paying guests)

Obama said he'd been asked why he did so well in the second debate.
He said it was because he'd had a good rest at the first one.
 
Even a nine year old can see that Obama is just a blowhard.

surprising they booed her, lefties are known to be tolerant to people with opposing views....
 

He and Romney the same MO?
Obama has well established dialogue and consultation in all corners of the world -- even Iran.
He has gathered coalitions so that the US is not seen as world police. Economic sense for them!

The Seventy Percent

People are going to be pissed off no matter who wins this election and that is a very important social dynamic I believe is vastly under appreciated by the majority of mainstream pundits and analysts out there. This is also very distinct from the environment that prevailed in 2008. Four years ago, the financial markets were crashing and the economic future of America was circling the toilet bowl, yet a majority of Americans embraced the potential of a young, inexperienced biracial politician from Illinois who was saying all of the right things. Despite the gigantic disappointment he has proven to be as President, there is no denying that he had all of the Democrats and most Independents under his spell on this day four years ago.

Fast forward to 2012 and the country isn’t “divided” as mainstream media talking heads like to say. The country is pissed off. Genuine and legitimate frustration permeates the land from sea to shining sea and rightly so. Ever since the banker coup of 2008, crony capitalism has been institutionalized as the only real way to make money. If you aren’t connected or “too big to fail,” sorry but America isn’t the place for you. What makes the economic nightmare so much worse is that it is being coupled with a complete and total decimation of civil liberties. One by one the Bill of Rights is being ignored and indeed trampled on systemically by the political and economic oligarchs emboldened by their successful takeover of the executive, legislative and for the most part judicial branches of government. Many Independents disagreed with Obama’s economic philosophy but gave him a pass because he promised to end the wars overseas and restore civil liberties. Instead, what we got was a President who signed the NDAA on New Year’s Eve 2011, which included section 1021, allowing for the indefinite detention of American citizens without trial until the “end of hostilities.” Well, because now know the Orwellian “war on terror” is never-ending, the indefinite detention is forever. The worst part is that Obama claims he didn’t want these powers yet when a group of high profile plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against section 1021 and won a ruling deeming it unconstitutional, what was the President’s response? He appealed it to death until he found a panel of judges to agree with him. Not only did he want this power, he seems to crave it. Another well deserved Noble Peace Prize.

The above is just one example of many. His kill list, which the Administration now refers to as the “disposition matrix,” grows by the day to include people with zero affiliation with Al-Qaeda, and Obama seems to relish in the absolute power of being judge, jury and executioner. Tragically, a President Romney will be no different. He is already on record supporting the NDAA, war without Congressional approval and we heard his complete and total support of Obama’s drone strategy during the third and final debate. Sure, people that care about civil liberties will vote for Romney saying that he will at least be better on economic policy, yet that is the exact same thing people did with Obama in reverse. They ended up being disappointed with him and Romney will disappoint as well. These guys are both big government, crony capitalist puppets and that’s the bottom line.

The above is invariably true and brings me to the key point of this article. Should Romney win, the 28% of Americans that identify as Republican will be thrilled, and the remaining 72% will be largely upset and on edge. Should Obama win, similarly, the 32% registered Democrat with be thrilled and the remaining 68% will be upset and on edge. Hence, the 70% referred to in the title of this article

this sums up my position on this joke of an american 'election' perfectly! bandicoot76
