WASHINGTON (Official Wire) — Americans are growing more optimistic about the economy and President Barack Obama’s leadership, creating a significant obstacle for Republican rival Mitt Romney five weeks to Election Day.
Even with unemployment above 8 percent for a 43rd straight month, polls find voters taking comfort in modest signs of economic progress, from a solid jump in consumer confidence this month to steady gains in home prices. Surveys show Obama opening up leads over Romney in several key states, thanks to voters such as Jim Young, 62, a retired engineer from eastern Iowa.
A political independent, Young says Obama’s policies have eased the nation’s pain as the recovery plods along. “The markets have been doing quite well,” Young said. “So, personally, things are going well and we can’t complain.”
Interviews with voters in vital swing states and opinion polls suggest Romney inadvertently played into Democrats’ long-running efforts to paint him as an out-of-touch plutocrat when a secretly recorded video showed him saying 47 percent of Americans consider themselves victims who depend on government care.
“Romney seems fake, especially after the 47 percent comment,” said Kurtis Nash of Cincinnati. “I’ve always voted for Republicans,” he said, but now he’s leaning toward Obama.

Jim Young – I guess the Constitution means nothing to you. Try telling your children and grandchildren what it was like to be free and not living under a dictatorship in 2 years if Obama is re-elected.
Thank You, My Sheep! Just let Me finish the job You hired Me for! Why have I spent $4 million to keep My school records sealed? Kind of makes You wonder doesn’t it?
Millions will be demonstrating against MY “Forward Communist Agenda” after My re-election! But, that’s ok!
“Yes We Can” and “Hope and Change” and now “Forward” are terms that I got from Josef Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Carl Marx, and Rev. Wright, my idol. Now, follow me “Forward” into complete Socialism.
I have been replacing God with Homosexual Czars and Same-Sex Marriage Partners. You don’t mind, do you?
Now, tell Romney and Ryan to stay away from OH, PA, MI, FL, VA, WI, CO, NH, and IA.
Guess you wonder why I have spent $4 million to keep My school records sealed? Well, keep on wondering! (Smile)
I am a love-child and am leading YOU (America) into total Anti-Christian Socialist Communism. I am replacing Capitalism with Socialism. I am blaming congress to distract you from my real agenda. Remember, I said My father was a goat herder in Kenya because you would not have voted for me if you knew my real father, Frank Marshall Davis, was number 47544 cardmember in the Communist Party.
I have been guided by my Father ( Frank) and Bill Ayres; so, I know a thing or two about being “RED” and “deceptive.”
I am the “Trogon Horse” with my Marxist agenda who is abolishing “The Middle Class” in America.
I am taking from all the businesses and working class people, and giving it to the Unions and those who prefer not to work, so there you will be on the same level as everyone else, except the Political Elites like Michelle and Me, because We are going to be on My Hawaiian Island, smiling and thinking how you swallowed my twisted words and lies, hook, line, and sinker. (Smile)
When We’re on My island, you then will realize that I was only using the you (The Middle Class) as “Pawns.”
The Middle Class will fall inline behind the political elite and the old welfarers for food (dog and snake), uniform “RED” clothing, and medical services – that’s the Marxist way that my Father Frank Marshall Davis wanted.
The Illegals will be getting FREE healthcare until after I’m elected again. (Smile Illegals)!
I just tax the businesses into bankruptcy, then take them over like I have been taking over the smaller banks and GM. Then, I will nationalize the oil fields like my idol, Hugo Chavez.
Again, when the “Middle Class” disappears, there will only be one “lower class’ and of course Michelle and I will then have total control of the media. Yes! I’ll take control of FOX, too!
In order for Me to be re-elected and fulfill My Father Frank Marshall Davis’ dreams and lead America into TOTAL Socialist Communism, I need for you: The Illegals, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanics, Union Members, Government Employees, ACORN, and a few White Liberals to vote for Me at least once. If you can prove to Me that you voted for Me more than once, you will receive some “ Free Housing, Free Utilities, Free Gasoline and Cell Phones, FREE Dog and Snake Meat, and some garden tools, because after the election you will need the tools; food will be in short supply for all of you, but Not for Michelle and Me. Remember, Socialism only has one class (The Lower Class) and everybody will have to work (a JOB) to survive, except us political elites. You Americans were even easier to lead down My Father Frank Marshall Davis’ Communistic path than I ever imagined! Now, just ignore Rev. E. W. Jackson, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney because they are creating a very big problem for my Father Frank’s dreams! Re-elect ME because you will no longer have an unknown future! (Smile).

2million4nobirthcert Thank you, best blog ever !!! You can also add this. He is either afraid of the Muslim Brotherhood and is trying to buy our security by delivering to the Muslim Brotherhood whole countries and billions of American taxpayer dollars (even while their still determined to destroy America); or, he is a willing accomplice to feeding the Muslim Brotherhood whole countries and billions of American taxpayer dollars, hoping for their complete takeover of the region and destruction of Israel and her ties to America.
In any event, Our President has very much in common with the Iranian President.
Hussein Obozo is an accomplice, no question. He has a plan to diminish the US and he is putting it into action with the help of most sections of the press. The American people are either not aware of what is going on or are too apathetic to care. If this thug Hussein Obozo is not defeated in November, the US will never be the same again, I fear.
If confidence in the economy has risen, it has nothing to do with Obama! WE THE PEOPLE are merely anticipating his coming defeat!
I felt the need to share this with you. I don’t know who the author is but it is kind of astounding
considering Hussein’s attitude about Israel. You have to read to the end, it’s not who you think it is!
- Bro. Steve Winter
I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country.
I was not his only child.
He fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.
My mother died at an early age from cancer.
Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father not my mother.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy.
No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn’t follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.
It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30′s then, with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40′s.
They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization.
Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me, as
jthough I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.
This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country’s foreign policy…
I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country’s economy.
I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free .
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.
It was the free market, banks and corporations .
I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
I called mine “A People’s Campaign.”
That sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people ‘hope’, together we could change our country and the world..
So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include “persecuted minorities”.
My true views were not widely known and I kept them unknown, until after I became my nation’s leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. I’m glad they didn’t.
Then I became the most powerful man in the world.
And then the world learned the truth.
Who am I?
