Barack Obama has had almost four years to come up with policies to create jobs in America and put millions of unemployed people back to work. Unfortunately, he and his foolish economic policies have failed miserably. If you count the people who have recently dropped out of the work force and are no longer looking for full-time jobs the real unemployment rate in America is closer to 12 to 15% depending on what region of the country you are from! "From the floor of a Charlotte manufacturing plant, Republican Mitt Romney Friday blamed “the same old liberal policies of the past” for what he called the most tepid economic recovery since the Great Depression. “We’ve got a government that’s gotten in the way of the American people,” the presumptive GOP nominee told about one thousand people at Charlotte Pipe and Foundry. “We’re going to change that.” Romney’s second visit to the city in a month took place just blocks from where President Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination in September. The visit came the same week his campaign began ramping up operations in what’s expected to be a key battleground state, one Obama carried by just 14,000 votes in 2008. And the GOP’s national political director, citing the ongoing criminal trial of former U.S. Sen. John Edwards and turmoil at state Democratic headquarters, called North Carolina “a major headache” for the Obama campaign. On Friday, the factory floor of the family-owned company served as a backdrop for the former Massachusetts governor to talk about what he considers his trump card: the economy. Latest Gallup Poll Only three states and the District of Columbia had higher March unemployment rates than North Carolina’s 9.7 percent. A Gallup Poll released Thursday showed voters believe Romney would do a better job than Obama of fixing the economy. Sixty-one percent of voters said Romney would do a good or very good job handling the economy, compared to 52 percent who said Obama would. Obama’s performance, Romney said, has fallen short. “(Obama) said he would measure progress on whether we’re creating new jobs or not,” Romney said. “(Yet) we’ve had a record number of foreclosures. … I see families really struggling. “The right policies are going to put America back to work, make us the economic powerhouse we’ve always been.” Wearing jeans and rolled up sleeves, Romney promised to cut federal spending and turn over to the states programs such as Medicaid and housing vouchers. He also pledged to tap U.S. energy reserves more aggressively than Obama. Romney appeared at Charlotte Pipe at the invitation of its chairman, Frank Dowd IV. The 111-year-old company is one of the nation’s largest producers of residential and commercial plumbing fixtures. Romney praised it for its “high wages, no layoffs and great service.” In the nation’s least-unionized state, he took jabs at organized labor. But he drew his biggest applause when he referred to “cheaters like China” taking American jobs. That prompted chants of “U.S.A, U.S.A.” But there were many signs Friday that Republicans are coalescing around Romney. Charlotte Republican Jack Battle, 70, said he liked Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. But he’ll vote for Romney. “I would have voted for anybody to get Obama out,” he said outside Charlotte Pipe."

Obama will lose in North Carolina. Indiana is toast. He needs to wrap up a few more states like Florida, Ohio and hopefully Pennsylvania and Virginia. People don't like being suckered, and that's exactly what Obama did to many in 2008.
These comments were very good! If the election were held today, Mitt Romney would win by a landslide. The published polls reflect a close race for two reasons: 1. They poll only registered voters, not likely voters. Rasmussen is the only pollster who tests likely voters, and his latest tracking poll has Romney ahead by 48-43. 2. As discussed in previous columns, a study of the undecided voters in the past eight elections in which incumbents sought a second term as president reveals that only Bush-43 gained any of the undecided vote. Johnson in ’64, Nixon in ’72, Ford in ’76, Carter in ’80, Reagan in ’84, Bush in ’92 and Clinton in ’96 all failed to pick up a single undecided vote. So when polls show President Obama at 45 percent of the vote, they are really reflecting a likely 55-45 Romney victory, at the very least. Gallup has amassed over 150,000 interviews over all of 2011 and compared them with a like number in 2010. It finds that Obama has a better than 50 percent job approval in only 10 states and the District of Columbia. And his approval has dropped in almost every single state. Even in California, it has fallen from 55 percent in 2010 to 
50.5 percent in 2011. http://www.dickmorris.com/a-romney-landslide/
I'm in a major swing county in Ohio and this week I'm going door to door to homes that have not registered and giving them the forms needed to get Obama out once and for all.
He's NOT getting Virginia...there is an undercurrent here that the News doesn't mention...Virginia will go for Romney.
The labor force participation rate has been in a steady decline since he took office. It's currently at 63.6%. Which puts real unemployment at 36.4%
This has been his plan all along...he mouths that he wants to help, but his agenda is to destroy capitalism.
