i'm sure it doesn't help that obama's dream team of economists are all gone. only geithner, who isn't an economist, is left. and he backs cutting the deficit...gasp...he must be a closet tea party member.

but hey, as long as they're tossing around ideas. i feel more confident already.

Maybe President Obama will get lucky and the voters' attention will be directed to American foreign policy.

Everyone would like to cut the deficit. The backlash is against the idea that the deficit is the most crucial factor in whether or not the economy improves. It's a fabricated crisis.

His odds to win re-election have taken a hit as well.

He's now only a 7-to-10 favorite.

Romney (5.7-to-1 odds) is a slight 2nd choice over Perry.

Despite her Iowa Straw Poll win -- Bachman is 33-to-1 and a longer price than Ron Paul.

When the price is right jump on Obama. I think he will win easily.

If he's running against Perry or Bachman, he sure will. Still think Romney is his only realy threat.

there is no way bachmann gets the nom. romney was as close to a lock for that as someone can be until perrry entered the race.

and if things continue as they are now, which i hope doesn't happen, then obama is in for a real battle.

It's "Perry", btw. "Parry" is the fake candidate Stephen Colbert advised Iowa voters to vote for in the straw poll

Perry doesn't stand a chance. Karl Rove already took him down today. The Bushies hate him.

Perry is "big hat, all the jobs I made are at McDonalds, to support the jobs the oil industry brought in that I am taking credit for"

So America will elect an African American but not a Mormon?

You do realize he's experienced success in the private sector as have a bunch of other Mormons.

Something the current President is missing and it shows!

i don't think it's a fabricated crisis. i also don't think it should be our top priority. my biggest concern is that jobs are an issue, and many in our federal govt don't know the first thing about business. perhaps they should have discussions with businessmen, and try to get some ideas of how to get people out of their hesitation mode. it's like the movie jaws, when everyone was on the beach, waiting for someone to make the first move to get in the water. there's danger-but it seems that if some would start hiring, it would in turn generate more confidence, which would swing the economy in the right direction-and would be a positive snowball effect.

Well there may be no money to pay social security or our military but at least he's supporting the jailed Palestinian terrorists.

Quote:
Every single Palestinian Authority terrorist held in an Israeli jail receives a monthly salary from the PA. Terrorists who committed the most heinous crimes – and therefore received longer sentences – receive the most money, according to a report in Israeli paper Yisrael Hayom.

The PA treasury receives cash from two main sources: the US pays about 50 percent of the money, and the rest is mostly from European Union member nations.

Since some of the victims of PA terror are American citizens, the information means that US taxpayers pay monthly salaries to the people who murdered their fellow citizens. The latest US citizen who was a victim of PA terror is Ben Yosef Livnat, who was gunned down in Shechem

no but the Obama administration is giving Sony (an obama contributor) top secret info about the Osama killing for the movie.. which will be released in October 2012.. right before next election.

there is no way that date is a coincidence and the administration should not be giving out top secret information. it's pathetic.

The fact the families of the killed SEALS requested no photos at the return of the bodies and Obama had a guy take his and post it on the White House web page is equally pathetic.

Pakistan allowing China access to our downed stealth helicopter is dangerous. Apparantly Obama ,currently on his bus tour, skirting the western border of Wisconsin is too busy to give immediate attention to something so frivilous. But in the meantime at least we're still sending checks to our 'Paki friends'.

Great line!

I really do wanna stay out of this but gotta say it once...

No way can Obama win again no matter what.

I think it'll end up being a Perry / Bachmann ticket and that they'll slaughter him.

Okay gonna tiptoe away now and let the big people continue fighting...

Come on in - the water is fine!

Hey, I try to have fun here too, even though more often than not it gets heated, but this is a horse racing board and the politics are mostly for diversion and to sharpen debate skills.

I don't think it would be Perry. Too scary even for me as a lifetime Republican to have another Texas governor with similar inflection on his voice.

I think Romney/Bachmann or Bachmann/Paul at this point, but anything can happen, and it most certainly will be interesting.
