If Romney is elected president and Republicans win control of Congress, 45% think it will help the ability of private companies to create new jobs. Thirty-five percent (35%) believe it will hurt private sector job creation. If Obama and the Democrats win, 39% think that will help in the creation of private sector jobs, while 44% believe it will hurt.
Oh-bama bounce GONE too :!: Romney now tied with Oh-bama again.

On the day after the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi, the White House on Wednesday morning released a schedule showing that President Obama would continue with his planned campaign trip to Las Vegas.

Before he leaves, the schedule indicated, Obama will "deliver a statement" in the White House Rose Garden at 10:35 a.m., the White House said.

Obama on Wednesday morning confirmed the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, the administration’s point man during the Libyan revolution, in a statement condemning the "outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans."

"While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants," Obama said.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUSnaS6AN2Q Also, the reporters were caught dead to rights conspiring against Romney: http://www.examiner.com/article/reporte ... -narrative This is why I have nothing to do with the USA press corps nor the major networks with minor scruples. Gallup is now falsifying their polling as well it appears. Rasmussen has Romney regaining the lead by 49-47% if you consider leaning towards a candidate and leading Oh-bama 47-46%. No bounce. Back to square one and Romney leading.

I think this revolt is become Obama's Jimmy Carter moment. If it continues the way people around me feel it is the tide will turn against Obama. I feel he has dropped the ball big time.

Romney's speech I don't have a problem with it or the content of it. Seems too soon but Obama's came too late. The State departments apology to the Arab world I think is inflaming the situation.

Hilary's entire 4 year world tour away from Bill was a complete waste of time appeasing terrorists.

The thought in both parties is by supporting Israel the Jewish vote in America will vote for them. There is a way for ex-pats to vote overseas I think. Never been clear on that, every election cycle the candidates for pres go over to England and other countries to hold fund raisers with US citizens living over there.

While Eastwood's show-stealing speech befuddled many -- and spawned an internet trend that came to be known as "Eastwooding" -- the 82-year-old opined that the crowd "really seemed to be enjoying themselves," and he was met with congratulations backstage after making his speech.

The actor's opinion on the current chief executive hasn't softened any in the days since he dressed him down in absentia: “President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.”

The trouble with that is that the Jewish voting bloc is not monolithic. Many Jews around the world are opposed to Israeli foreign policy, just as many Americans are opposed to US wars in Afghanistan etc.

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-s ... st-turmoil I wonder why ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, and Letterman last night did not discuss this poll?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge3aGJfDSg4 Why isn't the USA liberal media pouncing on this, instead of having Jimmy Carter's grandson lead a hatchet job against Romney?

I think the idea is they want to believe strong support of Israel will encourage the Jewish vote to support their candidate. Also christians in america like to support Israel too, nice to have at least one county from the ancient world beside Egypt in existence. :wink:

It all comes down to the politics of the holocaust, everyone want to say I'm not one of the bad guy cause I'll support the Jews.
People forget how backwards things were here as recently as the 1920, 30, &40s. Today we want our leaders to be tolerant including giving support and money to people who maybe shouldn't get it. Like Egypt I don't think we should be supporting tyrants the people need our help not their "leaders" . If we are giving money to Israel we shouldn't be.

Israel came into existence because of horrific events the western world allowed to happen (not everyone is responsible for it but it still happened). Part of the problem is some of the Arabs lost WWII because of their teaming up with the Nazi's, not a well know fact but it did happen.

Only going in to some of this because of what Romney said. In a way he is right, this could be the 12th year of a Palestinian state. Bill Clinton line it up, it could have been done. I think Arafat was so coocoo no deal was attainable, arafat would giggle like school boy spending all his time watching the cartoon network according Albrite .

In another way Romney is playing politics, the pro Jew safe choice for those on the fence. All presidential politics boils down to is each candidate deciding what sides (groups) they want to show themselves to be the "safe choice" of.

As I type this, Rasmussen has Obama 2 points ahead while Gallup has the candidates tied. So I guess Rasmussen is now lying while Gallup has started telling the truth again :wink:
