Electoral maps 2012

Bad economy, high unemployment, and O refuses to talk about it. Instead they reach for class warfare tactics and social issues when the country is sinking into the abyss. Deplorable. This is all O has left though so it's completely understandable that he's using these tactics.

He made it the subject of his radio address last week and discussed it in speeches during the week. You're simply not paying attention.

Yea. Do tell us about his great economic message.

I don't know that it's great, he has asked Congress to get to work on a "to do" list. Did you miss it while you were here?

We all know the past few years have been difficult for this country. After the worst recession of our lifetimes, it will take longer than any of us would like for the economy to fully recover. But there are plenty of steps we can take to speed up the recovery. There are things we can do – right now – to help create jobs and restore some of the financial security that so many families have lost.

Now, the other side isn’t so optimistic. They think all we can do is cut taxes – especially for the wealthiest Americans – and go back to letting banks and corporations write their own rules again. That’s their plan.

But I think they’re wrong. We tried their ideas for nearly a decade, and it didn’t work out so well. We can’t go back to the same policies that got us into this mess. We’ve got to move forward. We need to build an economy where hard work and responsibility are rewarded – where you can find a good job, own your own home, maybe start a businesses, and give your kids the chance to do even better.

That’s where we need to go. And I’ve been pushing Congress to help us get there by passing a few common-sense policies that would make a difference. Democrats and Republicans have already done some important work together – from passing tax cuts for workers, to opening up new markets for American products, to reforming our patent system. But now we need to do more.

That’s why we made Congress a handy “To-Do” list – just like the kind I get from Michelle. It’s short, but each of the ideas on this list will help create jobs and build a stronger economy right now.

First, Congress should stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, and use that money to cover moving expenses for companies that bring jobs back to America.

Second, Congress should help the millions of Americans who have worked hard and made their mortgage payments on time refinance their mortgages at lower rates and save at least $3,000 a year.

Third, Congress should help small business owners by giving them a tax break for hiring more workers and paying them higher wages. Small businesses are the engine of economic growth in this country. We shouldn’t be holding them back – we should be making it easier for them to succeed.

Fourth, if Congress fails to act soon, clean energy companies will see their taxes go up and could be forced to lay off employees. These companies are putting Americans to work and helping break our dependence on foreign oil. Congress should extend these tax credits.

And finally, Congress should help our veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan by creating a Veterans Job Corps. Our men and women in uniform have served this country with honor. Now it’s our turn to serve them.

So that’s Congress’s “To-Do” List. But now we need them to start crossing things off. I need you to call your Members of Congress, write an email, tweet, and let them know we can’t afford to wait any longer to get things done. Tell them now is the time to take steps we know will grow our economy and create jobs.

You’re working harder. You’re meeting your responsibilities. Your representatives in Washington should do the same. Let’s push Congress to do the right thing. Let’s keep moving this country forward together.

Thanks, and have a great weekend.

The point is that he is not "not talking about it"; in fact he's probably talking about it too much since we all know Congress won't do anything.
 
Bottom line- it comes down to 5 states.

PA
OHIO
VA
NC
FL

If Romney wins these 5 states and their 95 electoral votes, it's all over.

But that's the point. Romney has to win all five of them. Obama only needs to win 2.

So let's break it down.

PA- Went Democratic 5 times out of the last 5 presidental elections, and frankly, given the beating working folks there have taken from assholes like Romney, not likely.

OH- Went Democratic 3 out of 5 times, almost four out of five.

VA- Went Democratic 2 out of 5 times. But it's been trending Democratic for years now. More importantly, it depends heavily on government spending, which Romney has vowed to slash.

NC- Probably Romney's best shot for a pickup..

FL- Went GOP twice, Democratic twice, and they have that one year where it was a tie and Bush's brother stole it.

Yea. Do tell us about his great economic message.

What we have here is an example of why discussions like this turn to mush. The challenge posted here has been responded to LITERALLY hundreds of times since TGG has been a member of these forums. He has seen these responses.....and has responded to them..........often with the same fucking challenge. It is as though the asshole has an erasable memory.

This place could be renamed "Groundhog's Torture Chamber" and it would be fairly labeled.

For those of us who demand that facts and figures support claims made about the economy...........there is a fair amount of satisfaction with what the handcuffed Obama administration has managed over the past three years. The trend is up. Talking about that is a major part of Obama's re-election campaign. Saying that Obama is running from his record on the economy is just not accurate.

So in other words, you want to:

- Attack me
- Blame others for Obama's shortcomings
- Not tell us what Obama's supposed great economic plan is
 
PA-Dem
OH-Leaning Dem
MI-Leaning Dem
VA-Pub
NC-Pub
FL-Leaning Pub

Romney has to take the South and grab either OH or PA.
 
But to the point.... WHen people get to know what a creep Romney is, Obama will take all those states and probably Arizona to boot.

Silly JoeDoosh does not he is the creep to the folks on the Board.
