    Shall we continue to to stay aboard the SS Obama Titanic or do we man the life boats and take a chance Romney can save us? We KNOW if we stick with Obama we'll sink with the ship. At least with Romney we stand a fighting chance of not drowning. Obama's first term has been a train wreck considering we're at 8.6% unemployment at this time in his term. Those of us who are old enough to suffer through the Jimmy Carter years know that Reagan had 10+% unempolyment too. However, he had it down to the mid to low 7% range by the end of his first term. Obama's is just going up ....and up ....and up. It's time to send the clown from Chicago back where he came from in November.

    10 years is a long time to wait.

    But only getting back to the number of jobs we used to have is not enough to account for the expected population growth.

    So Obama economics is even more stupid than it appears at first glance.

    Obamanomics is an abject failure, that's what people are going to vote on in November. All the Bain this and tax returns that are inconsequential compared to Jobs and the Economy.

    Corporations are not creating jobs to influence elections, they manufacture the job numbers, so that republicans can get elected.

    That is why the Supreme court ruled corporations are people, they can move their weight around in elections.

    Yes, its saddening that corporations can do this in our elections, and the people are misled into believe the President creates poor job numbers, when its really the corporations.

    You can thank immigration for that...

    If we had stopped the mass immigration from mexico and around the world we'd likely have alot of jobs available and thus a more stable economy...

    Don't worry the "Oconomy" will decline soon and it won't be stuck anymore.

    I year ago we had unemployment trending downward. It's now trending upward, and it's not likely we're going to see any further relef for quite a while.
    Obama said if he couldn't fix the economy in his first few years he was a one-termer.
    America needs to take his advice.

    I think immigration both legal and illegal is part of the problem.

    We need to close the border and enforce our immigration laws by deporting illegal aliens rather than granting them amnesty.

    But trade with low wage countries like China is hurting the middle class also.
