I just never understood why anyone would want to be President. A thankless job where there really is not enough power to really solve the problems of the world. Did Frothy Mix or Neuter REALLY think they'd win? And if Ro-MONEY does succeed, there is an entire entrenched governmental bureaucracy to contend with. Obama has a Republican Congress to battle. I think they all have mental problems to want this job. |

I think a few became president because they really thought they could make a change for the better. I think Pres. Obama has that attitude. But I think many want that job mainly for the benefits and all the money that flows their way after they're out of office. Former presidents are very sought after members of corporate boards, and there's the many groups willing to pay them huge sums of money just to come and rattle on about nothing. Bill Clinton has become fabulously wealthy since he left office. |

one benefit is a lifetime pension of more than $350k, for a few years of doing basically nothing of any value whatever. |

I'm having a good feeling again about his re-election. The storm has provided an opportunity for his leadership to shine thru. I think that will be remembered more than the Ro-money attacks that have continued. |

I think he's got an excellent shot at re-election also. I pay little to no attention to these idiotic polls or anything they say on the news. You listen to 5 different news people and you'll hear 5 different scenarios. I think these morons just make up most of the stuff they say simply to pepper the news with things they think will make the broadcast seem interesting. |

We don't understand why the sisters are so hot for Obama, esp when Obama hides his own homosexuality as something to be ashamed of. |

I love you boatloads, Miss Turine of Campbell, but Obama gay? In what Universe did you come to that conclusion? You have some crackpot theories from time to time but that one is really out there. |

Romney can only win through fraud. People in Florida and Ohio were waiting in line 8 or 9 hours to vote. Whoever said there was no enthusiasm on the left does not know what is going on in this country. If Romney does win through fraud, this time it will be so obvious that we will start to see REVOLUTION in the United States. |

Turnout very heavy. Looks like Mrs Patrick Campbell's bettors will lose their shirts. And who knew she was a freepette anyway? |

We are NOT a freepette - we hate them both and hope they both lose. |

Exit poll for white people with high school educations making under 50K in Ohio: Romney 50-48 compared to McCain 49-48 in 2008. Great news, actually. No movement towards GOP even though these same douchebags thought Romney would do "better" on the economy by 53-46. Exit poll for seniors in Florida. McCain 55-45 in 2008, Romney 58-42 in 2012. Bad news, and the big reason: Medicare! They think Romney will be better on Medicare by 63-37,whereas people udnder 65 say Obama better on Medicare. Morons! Obama closed their doughnut hole giving them all an extra $1,000 cash and they voted for the man who promises to repeal it. Unbelievable idiots! Of course Romney and Ryan played ads saying Obama will cut $718 billion from Medicare. Obamacare does not cut Medicare, it just reduces the per capital subsidy on Medicare Advantage to the same rate the government pays for actual Medicare. Medicare Advantage is a failed privatization scheme. In 1997 Republicans said we'll save all this money and hold Medicare costs down by letting private companies compete. We'll give them a per capita rate so they can get profits by encouraging preventive care. 17% of seniors signed up for the new program. By 2003, they were down to 11% because companies weren't making money and dropped out. So they "fixed" the program by raising the per capita reimbursement rate to 12% above what the government was paying for traditional Medicare, and so people started using it again and now they are up to 26% of seniors enrolled. But seniors are not getting more benefits from Medicare Advantage. So Obama cut the percent, so seniors whose plans get discontinued or see reduced benefits can switch back to original Medicare. It wasn't that hard to explain, but somehow they failed to do it. |
