		<description>Among other things Abe Lincoln will be remembered as the founder of the Republican party and a leader who saved our union. Barry Soetoro will be remembered as the one that always compared himself to Lincoln and the one who ruined our credit. This total fraud President, has been marketed to us a regular, everyday American guy. This is the biggest charade in not only American but world history &amp; it goes on &amp; on with a solid re-election campaign attempt in full swing for next year. Business as usual.</description>

		<description>Phantomniter; I agree. Obama has put a bill out there he knows has parts the Republicans will never go along with. Then gives the ultimatum of &quot;all or nothing&quot;. It&#039;s all about politics.....both sides. There was a talk show in Washington DC this past week while I was there. They basically said the same thing. And people are falling for this crap.</description>

		<description>The president&#039;s version of the jobs bill does not have to be passed but there is no question that he would like his version to go through,  he has put republican ideas out there in his bills, items by which the they have supported in the past, if they no longer like it, they are more than capable of stating why their former ideas are of no use any longer and work with the president as to what they are willing to do.  The issue Americans have is the do nothing congress and unfortunately the president is stuck in the cross fires.  I do fault the president for not being able to bring his inner strength outward, these folks are older a few of them  have a subconscious element of racism.  Because if they truly cared about America, they would say hey lets get the ball really going, not put stuff out there knowing the other side wouldn&#039;t budge and this goes for the dems also in this.</description>

		<description>Well, Obama said, &quot;If you love me you&#039;ll get this bill passed&quot;, so I guess a far simpler poll could be done. like, &quot;Do you love Obama? Yes or No&quot;.</description>

		<description>Hello America, Barrak Obama needs to take his sales pitch to the Federal Peniitentiary with him when he goes. what we Tea Party Americans want &quot;Citizen Bob&quot; to do his first day in office, is to thourghly investigate the Solyndra Scandal, we cannot not move forward with Job Creations until Barrak Obama is safely behind bars. we Tea Party Americans donot want Michele Bachman to apologize for anything , what we want her to do is to start Impeachment proceedings against Barrak Obama for his part in Solyndra, and leave the vacine scandals for another day. , a one term President and then just walk away? I don&#039;t think so, when do we begin Impeachment procedures? Solyndra falls into High Crimes in my estimation. the Solyndra Scam, &quot;Emails uncovered by investigators for the House Energy and Commerce Committee showed that the Obama White Hou...se closely monitored the Energy Department&#039;s deliberations over the $535 million government loan, which was backed by an Obama fundraiser. The internal emails uncovered by investigators showed the administration was keenly monitoring the progress of the loan, even as analysts were voicing serious concerns about the risk involved. 

&quot;This deal is NOT ready for prime time,&quot; one White House budget analyst wrote in a March 10, 2009 email, nine days before the administration formally announced the loan.&quot; 
is there enough evidence to begin Impeachment of Barrak Obama? this may well be another Watergate or even bigger We Americans want our money back, and we want &quot;Citizen Bob&quot; to start an investigation before his plane even sets down in Washington D.C hit the ground a running BoB, we want these people in Jail for Fraud each and everyone of them, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, and Barrak Obama along with the Solyndra vips. no more Enrons, no more white collar criminlas simply walking. this brings to mind the words of Dr. Daniel Elsburg who helped impeach Richard Milhouse Nixon with the Pentagon Papers, paraphrase &quot;what disappointed me most is that the average citizen simply didn&#039;t care, this allowed this type of corruption to flourish&quot;. sincerely Fezzy Bear.</description>

		<description>Hmm, wonder why you didn&#039;t use actual head-to-head polls from swing states instead of the president&#039;s favorability ratings? Could it be because those (Quinnipac, Magellan) have Obama leading Perry or Romney? I suspect if you polled Perry&#039;s favorability in a swing state, heck, any state, including Texas, it would be pretty similar, or worse than, Obama&#039;s.</description>

		<description>Yes voters of the middle class are educated and we are calling a spade a spade. Obama is gone in 2012 and may I suggest that he should resign before then.</description>

		<description>If there is a &#039;high concentraion&#039; of middle class voters in these &#039;swing states&#039;...there is absolutely NO REASON that this President should &#039;struggle&#039; there. That is....if the voters are educated, informed and have been PAYING ATTENTION to the GOP intransegiance of the past three years. And more importantly...IF...they truly want to remain solid &#039;middle class citizens&#039;.</description>

		<description>Hey Chuck Shumer - same thing was said about Scott Brown&#039;s election in Massachusetts - move along, nothing to be seen here.  How&#039;d that work out for all y&#039;all last November??

Fact is, NY-9 was a huge indication of how 2012 will go, as it was a referendum on Mr. Obama&#039;s handling of the economy and foreign affairs, specifically relations with Israel and the Muslim world.  He seems incapable of improving the economy; it is impossible for him to rectify the damage he&#039;s done with Israel (return to the 1967 border?  Puhlease!).

Sorry Chuck - your man is ONE AND DONE.</description>
