  1. Will it be as damaging as this??

    Obama is truly an idiot. There goes that attack ad.



    New Obama OMB director a Bain alum

    Jeffrey Zients will serve as President Obama's new acting director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), but the president's decision might undercut attacks on Republican Mitt Romney's career as a venture capitalist, because Zients and Romney are both alumni of Bain & Company.

    "I'm pleased to designate Jeff Zients to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Since day one, Jeff has demonstrated superb judgment and has provided sound advice on a whole host of issues," Obama said in a statement accompanying the announcement today. Zients previously served as Deputy Director of OMB under Jack Lew, who became Obama's chief of staff with the departure of Bill Daley.

    Poll: Obama swamps Romney among youth, independent, Latino voters


    As prominent Tea Partiers desperately urge Republican lawmakers and Republican presidential primary voters to move further to the right, President Obama is racing ahead among independents. Public Policy Polling, delivering results today from its first national poll (pdf), reports that Obama leads GOP presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney by a solid five points and that he leads Romney by a whopping 41-point spread among moderate voters.

    Writing at the PPP website, Director Tom Jensen notes the way the President seems to be regaining strong support among demographics key to his big victory in 2008.

    “One thing that really stands out in this poll is the extent to which Obama has claimed the middle. He’s up 68-27 on Romney with moderates. He also leads by 20 points with voters under 45, a group there’s been some concern about slippage with, and he has a 66-30 advantage with Hispanics.”

    That’s big news in swing-state Colorado, where nearly a third of voters are independents, where the growing Latino population exerts increasing political influence and where youth voters turned out in record numbers to vote for Obama last election.

    Jensen writes that the caustic Republican primary, which has seen the former Massachusetts Governor run way to the right of past positions on flashpoint issues such as abortion and immigration, has cost Romney deeply among independent voters.

    “Over the last month Romney’s seen his negatives with independents rise from 46% to 54%, suggesting that the things he has to say and do to win the Republican nomination aren’t necessarily helping him for the general. Obama’s turned what was a 45-36 deficit with independents a month ago into a 51-41 advantage.”

    two thirds of independents say obama sucks on the economy.


    Only 31 percent of independent voters have a favorable opinion of the president and two-thirds say he has not made real progress in fixing the economy, the newspaper said.

    unless obama proposes a new low flat tax to replace the current tax system and a balance budget... Obama loses.

    If the republicans picked chavez or khadfy they would crush obama.
    (please dont tell me khaday is dead or chavez is not a citizen.. you already told me you don't care about constitutional eligiblity)

    Madoff would beat Obama.
    Buttofucco could beat Obama if he had a good adviser.

    if you read the article or understood how polls work... you would understand that since half the potential independent voters have not even considered romney or other candidates yet. you are getting a very skewed result.

    all your poll shows is committed democrats vs independents and republicans committed to one person.

    in reality with potential voters one aginst one... Obama would be around 38% or less. he will be crushed if he does not become a flat tax guy real fast.
