The "media" didn't cover it, until after the demonstrations started to occur in the middle east.

Also, remember that it was the Bush II administration that insisted going forward with elections in Gaza, despite warnings that Hamas was going to win.

Posted on 09/13/12 at 04:54 pm in response to Warrior Romney may have miscalculated voters' longings

And Gallup has Obama up by 6, Reuters has Obama up by 3, Even FOX News has Obama up by 5.

Anyway, as has been pointed out, we don't elect on a national popular vote. When you look at the swing states, Obama has a huge lead in those, giving him a healthey advantage in the Electoral College vote.

In many cases that would require eliminating essential spending. Even in a household budget.

And that doesn't even address the depressive tendencies of massive governmental austerity on the broader economy.

Gas was at $1.89 when Obama took office because the economy had just taken a dive off the cliff. As the economy has improved, demand has increased, as have gas prices.

You can probably count on one hand the number of active NFL players that have openly supported ANY gay rights issue. That fact alone would have garnered it some level of attention, but not anything near what it did recevie.

Posted on 09/11/12 at 02:01 pm in response to Laura Ingraham: If Repubs can't beat Obama, they should disband

Even Rassmussen is showing a solid Obama lead now.

Of course, all of those are utterly meaningless, because we don't elect the President on a national popular vote basis.

Posted on 09/11/12 at 01:14 pm in response to Minnesotans using food stamps nearly double since 2006

Of course, the mpr report doesn't say WHEN the majority of people began receiving food stamps. Considering that we lost millions of jobs as a result of the Bush economy between 2007 and early 2009, it's pretty easy to figure out where the majority of the blame lies.

Blocked by Republicans (and some Democrats) in Congress.
