Obama has 10 percent lead in Ohio poll.
With the new Columbus Dispatch poll showing Obama with a 10 percent lead in key swing state Ohio, Republicans are looking to the debates as a last chance to right the ship. But there are 800,000 Ohio jobs tied to the auto industry, and 65 percent of Ohioans now say that Obama’s GM and Chrysler bailouts were a good idea.
Across the U.S. there is an awareness that Obama assumed office during one of the most challenging times in the country’s history. His efforts rescued the banking, financial, and industrial economy from the brink of disaster. He is winding down a war, weakening al-Qaeda, and our military brought down Osama bin Laden. Over a million jobs have been created since his stimulus plan took effect in mid-2009. And we have a health plan which promises to put nearly all Americans on health insurance.
Governor Romney left office in Massachusetts in 2006 with a 34 percent approval rating. We know of at least 47 percent of Americans who are not likely to voice approval for him in November. We’ll take four more years with the leader we know and trust.

You know & trust him ehh?? There ya go with that Mr Hyde thing again. You must have moved off the lake I see you're back in St Paul.
P.S. How come you did not mention anything about the Yucca mountain project in you're letter??
OFB and Yucca
Obama's energy policies are still from hunger. If he would put me in charge of the DOE, that would change.
DOE...
Wasn't that created by Carter to help control energy prices?
It's worked so well.
DOE
Wolf, it's a lot more than that. One purpose was to manage the whole nuclear program. Right now one of their billion dollar projects is emptying buried leaking tanks with nuclear waste out at Hanford, WA.
Rolf must have written
that before Romney spanked Obama last night.
Boy I just dont
Know Rolf? If he put you in charge that just might scaryphallin the heck out of me. He might make you drink more of his kool-aid & then you would change you're mind on energy.
Mind change
Not a chance.
Who's the undecided voter? It may be the 'Walmart mom'...
Snippet...
Obama, she said, has done a "lousy job." Romney? "I don't think we should be taxing the medium class and low class and letting the rich get by without having to pay (taxes), and that's what I feel he wants."

65%

Am I mistaken Rolf, or are you insinuating that Obama basically bought himself the Ohio vote with U.S. taxpayers money? I guess you can take the politician out of Chicago politics, but you can't take Chicago politics out of the politician.
800,000 Ohio Jobs
Shows what they know in Ohio. GM is in the process of folding-closing-bankruptcy etc. again. Might even happen befor the election. Remember the Monte Carlo, Saturn, S-10, HHR, large chevy truck(over-the-road), Pontiac, Oldsmobile. Well, they're gone now and all we have is a few ugly little greenies. GM lovers liked their cars and when Obama took them away in favor of little greenies, a lot of GM lovers were mad. AND WE STILL ARE. The Ohio-ites better wake up because GM is done. Now thank Obama for that. He's hoping those 65% get to vote before they close the coffin on GM.
GM and Chrysler taxpayer profit
Govt put about $60 billion into GM and Chrysler, receiving a large stake in those companies. About half has already been paid back and the govt will end up with a net profit on the deals. Not to mention saving perhaps a million jobs.

and rolf, who started the auto bailout?
It wasnt Oblahblah
IDWD,
I think the O'blusterer inherited that?
Obama is talking tough today,
Trying to attack Romney for his slapdown last night. The lies are flowing and it's hillarious how the puppet didn't have the Ba **s to say it last night to Romney's face! Mr. Fox, and Rolf, Hugo Chavez endorsed this criminal too.
Make up your mind.
The bailout was terrible because you thought it was Obama.
Then you find out Bush started it so it's a great idea. You are right at home with flip flop Romney.
Four more years.
Good & Not So Good
I agree that saving the autoworkers their jobs is a good thing, as well as seeing somewhat of a return on the $60 billion investment. Whether a profit can be made from the sale of the "large stake" in the stock of a not so stable company remains to be seen.
As far as the million or so jobs created since the stimulus plan took effect, how many of those jobs are government jobs being paid for by the taxpayers?
And tell me again who is paying for this wonderful health care plan of his? Oh, I remember. That would be the taxpayers again.
My point is that the majority of his ideas involve using the U.S. taxpayers to flip the bill for everyone. Now seeing as the U.S. taxpayer is a minority in this country, and that raising taxes is the only way to pay for these things, there is no logic what so ever in the long term outlook for these "plans". These problems cannot all be fixed by throwing money at them.
I never said it was a great idea or a bad idea
ROLF, much of my business comes from GM so I kinda liked it and the whole time I knew Bush started it and mentioned that several times and was called a liar by you in particular.
So what does that say about you...your trying to give Oblahblah credit for something Bush did...and got caught in the lie AGAIN.
Keep spreading the lies ROLFY...
ahem, rolf
"About half has already been paid back and the govt will end up with a net profit on the deals."
LIE.
Again.

Obama calling Romney a Liar
Oblahblah calling Romney a liar is like Michael "cheesecake" Moore calling Paul Ryan fat.
