[wanabidii] President Obama's Swift Effectiveness to Duty Calling is commendable.....




Folks,
 
 
We have just been faced with Serious disaster, this is a test to show case how a
leader ought to perform and reach out to join together irrespective of Party affilliation.
It is here where we failed to see Mitt Romney coming close to work with Obama
except Chris Christie from Romney team......Where was his leader Mitt Romney???
No, he remain at his campaign area, sending words from a distance, did not go to see
first hand of the divastating chaos from a serious challenge Super storm Sandy brought
to the people of New Jersey or even New York.....Here was the Reality Check for those
in leadership showing committment to do the right thing and help.....Romney failed.
With President Obama, today, there are good signs of hope.....Jobs are back in Ohio
with other areas picking up; the economy is booming again and manufacturing business
are in progress.
 
 
My argument therefore, President Obama as the first Black President and having achieved
his campaign promises, there are evidence that he has done a good job but the work is not complete yet. He deserves a second chance to complete two terms Presidency and finish the job he started to repair and fix loopholes......the reason why the economy collapse before he came to power. It is only fair that, he gets the credit for the job well done.....[give credit where credit is due].
 
 
He should be given an opportunity to complete what he started in Reforming and Re-investing in innovative progressive Agenda for development that which is now showing signs of good planning.......It was not easy and it will not be easy......but the fact remain that, he stands true and fair to all.........he is all our hope, we can never succeed where the leader discriminate against the 47%.......this was a factor for the economic collapse in the first place.....it is what Mitt Romney beleaves in.......
 
 
With that here are the specifics that make President Obama outstanding and better than Mitt Romney.......which is why, it is just fair to give the President a second term to complete what he started instead of terminating part of his second term to be given to Mitt Romney who is a FLIP-FLOPPER, has a condition of Romnesia, discriminate against the poor and the disadvantaged; someone who cannot be trusted to play a fair game to all, shipping jobs overseas and leaving the country is shambles having the majority people without jobs and causing the country to weaken from hopelessness.......and is demanding leadership without substance for specific plan how he expects to rule........
 
 
 
Watch this in weighing capability difference, why Obama is better than Romney:
 
 
1) President Obama is consistent, while Mitt Romney is flip-flopper with no
specifics of substance to statement of facts how he prepared to become
the next President other than what people know that he intends to join
with those rich and powerful to evade tax by giving the rich businessmen
tax incentives, and controlling the Government for Special Interest against
the 47% interest of the middle-class and the poor whom he does not care
nor does he want to worry about......which is why, the economy was in
crisis in the first place when President Obama took office.
 
 
2) Mitt Romney KigeuGeu......No Fixed Abode......if you hang on his coat
beware you will not be safe......because he does not care for 47%
 
 
3) President Obama is reliable, very consistent, says what he means and means
what he says.......He can be trusted.....
 
 
4) With President Obama, you are guaranteed hope for a better tomorrow
 
 
5) With Romney, advantage to the rich and wealthy and 47 % will survive at God's
Mercy if you are lucky to be alive
 
 
6) With Obama, affordable education to all
 
 
7) With Romney, education will be for the rich
 
 
8) With Obama FEMA will remain under Government system to deliver urgent
emergency services to all equally in a bi-partisan manner ......but,
 
 
9) With Romney FEMA for emergency will be controlled by the Corporation, where
there are too many poor chances for survival might be too slim incase they fall under
47%
 
 
10) With Obama, he has a Blue Print Plan of Action how he expects the Government
under his administration will provide services to all equally and that President Obama
will continue to fight for all favorably
 
 
11) With Romney, the discrimination is evident; The Rich Vs. the Poor; which is why
Romney failed to produce his Manifesto Plan how he wish to rule........
 
 
12) President Obama is available to all and Mitt Romney to a few selective the Rich and
Powerful who are selfish and greedy.........want everything for themselves......
 
 
13) Romney calls women Binders to be staffed in Cabinets......This is sad.....
 
 
14) Romney rans away from Media.......What is he hiding......???
Basing on favoritism and qualification, President Obama superseeds Romney and President Obama rates higher than Romney........
 
 
Life is Fun and Sweeter, when there is caring and sharing in Love......Obama's Plan will
accomplish the "Love Commandment" and all people of the world will benefit from Obama's plan.......because we will live United at Peace with each other engaging in progressiveness in harmony and in happiness......!!!
 
 
President Obama, One More Term is the Way to Vote.........Go and Vote to those with
votes and others Pray for Peace and Harmony in the World.......
 
 
Cheers everybody........!!!

Obama In WI: "Some Of The Businesses We Encourage Will Fail"
Published on Nov 1, 2012 by GOPICYMI

Pres. Obama in Green Bay, WI says that not all the businesses his administration supports will succeed and some will fail (November 1, 2012).

 

In closing, Obama says Romney not agent of change

By JULIE PACE | Associated Press – 2 hrs 1 min ago

 

            GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — President Barack Obama is closing the final days of the presidential campaign by declaring that rival Mitt Romney is not the agent of change he portrays himself to be. Instead, Obama is asking for four more years to complete changes he's been trying to usher in since his election four years ago.

            Obama told an airport rally in Green Bay, Wis., that his administration has met many of his goals but hasn't finished the job.

            Thursday's rally was the first of three political stops for Obama, his first campaign outing since Superstorm Sandy struck on Monday.

            A day after touring New Jersey damage with Republican Gov. Chris Christie, Obama said the storm was a reminder that political leaders can put aside partisanship to address the country's needs.

             
             

            Obama Kicks Off Closing-Argument Tour in Wisconsin

            By Devin Dwyer | ABC OTUS News – 37 mins ago
            GREEN BAY, Wis. - President Obama is officially back on the campaign trail in full swing, delivering his closing argument at a chilly tarmac rally here - steps from Air Force One - after an unprecedented and unanticipated two-day pause in the home stretch thanks to Hurricane Sandy.

            Obama invoked the superstorm, and the lessons he has taken from it, to set the tone for his three-state, 16-hour swing with five days of campaigning to Election Day.

            "All the petty differences seem to melt away. There are no Republicans or Democrats during a storm," he said.

            Referring to his visit to the disaster zone in New Jersey Wednesday, Obama said he saw "a spirit that says in the end we're all in this together. That we rise and fall as one nation and one people."

            Pivoting to his campaign, Obama said the same outlook has guided his presidency and the "change" he has helped bring about, hitting GOP challenger Mitt Romney for running what he called a fundamentally different definition of change.

            "He's saying he's the candidate of change. Well, let me tell you Wisconsin, we know what change looks like. And what he's offering isn't change," he said.

            Obama went into a riff on how what Romney proposes on taxes, regulation and social policy is a throwback to the past, then added, "turning Medicare into a voucher is change, but we don't want that change."

            "I know what change looks like because I fought for it," he said. "And after all we've been through together, we sure as heck can't give up now…

            "We don't need a big-government agenda or a small-government agenda. We need a middle-class agenda. We don't need a partisan agenda," he said. "We need a vision that says we don't just look out for ourselves, we look out for one another and future generations. That's the change we believe in, that's what it's all about. Their bet is on cynicism. Wisconsin, my bet is on you."

            Also notable: Obama plugged former President Bill Clinton, who has been barnstorming the country on his behalf, suggesting they share the same economic philosophy: "For eight years, we had a president who shared these beliefs. His name was Bill Clinton. He asked the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more. Critics at the time said killed jobs, etc. Math back then was just as bad as it is today."

            Polls: Obama ahead in Iowa, Wis., N.H.

            9:38AM EDT November 1. 2012 - Five days before Election Day, new polls give President Obama leads over Mitt Romney in the swing states of Iowa, Wisconsin and New Hampshire.
            The significance: Romney probably needs to win all three states if he loses Ohio, where he is also seen as trailing the president.
            Obama leads in Iowa 50%-44%, according to NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls.
            The same survey puts the president ahead 49%-46% in Wisconsin, and 49%-47% in New Hampshire.
            An NBC/WSJ/Marist poll released Wednesday gave Obama a 5-point lead in Ohio, 50%-45%.
            "To be at 49 or 50 (percent) is a good number this close to Election Day," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. "But he (Obama) doesn't have to look far over his shoulder to see that half of the electorate isn't with him and Romney is close."
            Miringoff added: "It is always better to be ahead than behind."
            Ohio and its 18 electoral votes are key to both candidates as they try to assemble the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Whoever loses it will have to sweep Iowa, Wisconsin and New Hampshire — which total 20 electoral votes — to have a chance.

            Obama looks to take the swing states. He's on track to win the electoral college easily, and the popular vote as well.
            In short, it will be a mandate for President Obama.

            Half the country won't be happy until we sell the whole country off to the highest corporate bidder.

            Joel Dykstra -- Isn't that what Romney is? The highest corporate bidder?
            Don Scotter · Top Commenter · Omaha, Nebraska
            Joel - that sale of the country is what our foreign creditors will demand.
            The first of three events in the final days before the election was Thursday in Green Bay. Obama asked for four more years to complete changes he's been trying to usher in since his election four years ago.
            Obama told supporters that his administration has met many of his goals but hasn't finished the job.
            Thursday's rally was the first of three political stops for Obama, his first campaign outing since Superstorm Sandy hi the East Coast on Monday.
            A day after touring New Jersey damage with Republican Gov. Chris Christie, Obama said the storm was a reminder that political leaders can put aside partisanship to address the country's needs.
            President Obama will be back in Wisconsin two more times before Election Day. The President has planned stops in Milwaukee on Saturday and Madison on Monday.

            Polls: Obama up 6 in Iowa, clinging to leads in Wis., N.H.

            November 1, 2012, 07:48AM
            President Obama is ahead by 6 points in Iowa, 50 percent to 44 percent, while he holds inside-the-margin leads of 2 and 3 points in New Hampshire and Wisconsin, respectively, according to a trio of new NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls.
            Mr. Obama's 6-point advantage in Iowa is down from 8 earlier this month but is firmly outside the margin of error of 2.9 percentage points. Hawkeye voters are split 45 percent to 45 percent on whether Mr. Obama or Republican rival Mitt Romney would do a better job handling the economy, while they give the nod to Mr. Obama on foreign policy, 51 percent to 39 percent.
            Forty-five percent of likely voters say they already have voted or plan to vote before Election Day, and Mr. Obama leads among that bloc, 62 percent to 35 percent. Mr. Romney is winning voters planning to vote on Nov. 6, 55 percent to 35 percent.
            In New Hampshire, Mr. Obama's 49 percent to 47 percent lead is within the poll's margin of error of 3.1 percentage points and is down from a 51 percent to 44 percent lead he held before the presidential debates. More likely voters ― 49 percent ― say Mr. Romney will do a better job handling the economy than Mr. Obama ― 46 percent. But they, too, prefer him on foreign policy ― in this case, by an 8-point margin, 51 percent to 43 percent.
            In Wisconsin Mr. Obama's 49 percent to 46 percent lead ― within the state's 3-point margin of error ― is down from a 6-point lead earlier this month in a state that has fast emerged as a somewhat unexpected battleground for the two candidates.
            Like Iowa, likely voters in Wisconsin are split on who would do a better job on the economy ― 47 percent apiece ― while Mr. Obama holds an 11-point edge on the foreign-policy front, at 52 percent to 41 percent.
            The polls were conducted from Oct. 28-29 of 1,142 likely voters in Iowa, 1,013 likely voters in New Hampshire and 1,065 likely voters in Wisconsin.

            For Chris Christie, a Jersey shore drama that's also political

            WASHINGTON (Reuters) - When someone dared to ask Chris Christie how Superstorm Sandy would influence next week's U.S. elections, the New Jersey governor displayed the confrontation-loving, hard-charging style that has made him a rising national figure.

            "I don't give a damn about Election Day," Christie told a news conference on Tuesday in Ewing, New Jersey, 64 miles southwest of New York City. "Let the politicians who are on the ballot worry about Election Day. It's not my problem."

            As much as anyone, the physically imposing 50-year-old Christie has become the most prominent political image of the deadly storm, which made landfall near Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Monday night. Sandy is nearly certain to blaze a path of one kind or another for Christie's political prospects.

            His blunt statements to reporters and on YouTube are familiar to New Jersey residents from his battles with the state's teachers and his axing of plans for a major new transit tunnel to New York City.

            The Republican, who has been governor since January 2010, told reporters on Tuesday he was focused on destroyed homes and potential loss of life, and would turn to the November 6 election logistics later this week.

            TV networks ran Christie's news conference live and also carried interviews with him. His staff posted the interviews to his YouTube channel and fed quotes to his Twitter feed.

            Unexpectedly for appearances so close to an election, Christie seized the moment to praise federal emergency officials and President Barack Obama, a Democrat. Late on Tuesday, the White House announced that Obama would meet Christie in New Jersey for a tour of the storm damage on Wednesday, the president's first since the storm.

            While campaigning for Obama's Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, Christie has led attacks on the president. In his keynote address to the Republican National Convention in August, he said Obama was undeserving of a second term.
            MIXED REVIEWS
            Christie considered running against Obama himself before deciding to sit out the race a year ago. His speech to the Republican convention, while tough on Obama, also drew mixed reviews. Critics said he focused on himself rather than Romney.

            "I want to thank the president personally for all his assistance as (we) recover from the storm," Christie said on Twitter on Tuesday. On NBC's "Today" show, he called Obama's support during the storm "outstanding."

            It was not the first time Christie has leaned on Obama during a crisis - he also worked closely with the president when New Jersey faced extensive floods after being hammered by Hurricane Irene last year.

            Although clearly not wanting to rock the boat at a time when his state needs the president's help, Christie is no stranger to bipartisanship, having needed some cross-party support to win election in Democratic-leaning New Jersey.

            He will need it again assuming he runs for a second term in November 2013 and yet again should he seek the presidency in 2016. Christie had a 56 percent approval rating in New Jersey in a Quinnipiac poll released October 17. Focused on pocketbook issues, he avoids social issues that could alienate moderates.

            The storm intensified Christie's feud with one Democrat, Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford. Christie called Langford a "rogue mayor" for allegedly not backing a state evacuation order.

            "I feel badly for the folks in Atlantic City who listened to him and sheltered in Atlantic City," Christie said on "Today."
            Langford told the same show that Christie was misinformed and that Langford did not encourage residents to stay in the casino city that suffered widespread flooding when Sandy hit.

            Relishing the power of a statewide executive, Christie said on Monday that, in view of the raging storm, he was considering rescheduling Halloween by unilateral order. He repeated the idea on Tuesday.

            "We want kids to have Halloween, but I also want kids to be safe and alive," he told the news conference.

            DISASTER CASUAL

            With an exhausted look, Christie said he was sick - "which is no fun" - and that he slept only two hours on Monday night. "Every time I fell asleep, someone woke me up," he said, wearing a dark jacket evocative of the style U.S. politicians call "disaster casual." It had his name and office printed on it.

            Christie did not hide his impatience with coastal residents considering a return home soon. It would be "completely unsafe" and "we are nowhere near being about to let you back," he said.
            The storm seems likely to add to his catalog of viral videos.
            In 2011 Christie won praise when he appointed a Muslim lawyer as a judge and then forcefully decried the "ignorance" behind suggestions he would implement Sharia law. "I'm tired of dealing with the crazies," Christie said in one such video.

            The governor is known for his devotion to rock star Bruce Springsteen, a New Jersey native, despite Springsteen's liberal politics and active campaigning for Obama.

            A lawyer, Christie was an unknown local figure until 2001, when President George W. Bush chose him to be the U.S. attorney - or chief federal prosecutor - for all of New Jersey.

            Democrats at times have struggled to answer Christie's appeal. In 2009 then-Governor Jon Corzine, a Democrat, ran a TV commercial saying that Christie, who has struggled with weight problems, "threw his weight around" to get out of traffic tickets. The ad failed to stop Corzine's ouster, and Christie has spoken frankly about his battle with his weight.

            Also that year, Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives questioned Christie over a contract worth up to $52 million that went to his former boss, former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft.

            Christie answered questions about the contract at a hearing and before it was over, he stood up and left, saying that he had a train to catch.

            Thursday, November 1, 2012
            Making up for time lost while he focused on Hurricane Sandy, President Obama jumped back onto the campaign trail Thursday, launching a final pre-Election Day blitz through three battleground states in the Midwest and West.
            During the first stop in Green Bay, Wis., Mr. Obama tried to strike a bipartisan note when speaking about Americans' response to the superstorm that pummeled the Eastern Seaboard on Monday and Tuesday.
            "When disaster strikes, we see America at its best," he said at an airport rally with Air Force One as the backdrop. "There are no Democrats or Republicans during a storm. There are just fellow Americans."
            But the president's statements about cross-party unity in the face of the storm quickly gave way to sharp criticism of Republican rival Mitt Romney's agenda, which, Mr. Obama said, calls for "the same top-down" approach to economic growth that caused the economic crisis in 2008.
            "We know what change looks like," Mr. Obama said. "What the governor's offering sure ain't change."
            Arguing that the economy is turning around under his leadership, the president said he has a record of "real change" and cited the 2010 health care overhaul, new financial regulations, the auto bailout and the killing of Osama bin Laden as evidence.
            Sporting a leather bomber jacket emblazoned with the words "Air Force One," Mr. Obama hit home the main points of his now-familiar stump speech. He again made the case for raising taxes on the wealthy as the only way to reduce the mounting deficits and accused Mr. Romney of using bad math and failing to elaborate on the details of his tax cut plan.
            "We don't need a big-government agenda or a small-government agenda ― we need a middle-class agenda that rewards hard work and responsibility," he told the crowd.
            The Green Bay rally kicks off five days of campaigning for the president ahead of Tuesday's vote. Later Thursday, Mr. Obama heads to Las Vegas and Denver, and the president plans a whirlwind of campaign events primarily focused around the Midwestern states, with several stops in the crucial swing states of Ohio and Iowa.
            Mr. Obama suspended his campaigning Monday as Sandy bore down on the East Coast, and he spent the early part of the week focused on coordinating federal relief efforts to states with the most damage. After Mr. Obama spent Wednesday touring the storm-ravaged areas of New Jersey with Republican Gov. Chris Christie, aides said the president would be remain in communication with emergency management officials, governors and mayors to ensure that assistance gets to where it's needed most.

            FEMA head Fugate defends Obama's quick Sandy response
            By Sean Lengell - The Washington Times
            October 31, 2012, 12:06PM
            Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency,has pushed back at criticism of President Obama's response to Hurricane Sandy from Michael Brown, who headed the George W. Bush administration's much maligned response to Hurricane Katrina.
            "Better to be fast than to be late," said Mr. Fugate told NPR on Wednesday.
            Mr. Brown on Monday suggested the president's Sunday news conference warning people about the storm was premature and done for political reasons.
            "One thing he's gonna be asked is, why did he jump on this so quickly and go back to D.C. so quickly when in ... Benghazi, he went to Las Vegas?" Mr. Brown told the Denver Westword newspaper. "Why was this so quick? ... At some point, somebody's going to ask that question ... This is like the inverse of Benghazi."
            Mr. Brown is no stranger to controversy. President George W. Bush infamously called him "Brownie" and told Mr. Brown he was doing "a heckuva job" in the aftermath of his widely criticized handling of Katrina.

            "Late Show" host David Letterman has joked about Republican Mitt Romney five times more often than he has poked fun at President Obama, leading a trend among late-night comics.
            A study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs found that Mr. Romney was the target of 148 jokes in late-night talk-show monologues from Aug. 27 to Oct. 3. Mr. Letterman told 44 jokes about the Republican during that time, compared with just nine barbs about Mr. Obama ― the greatest disparity among any of the hosts.
            Overall, Mr. Letterman, Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Fallon told 290 jokes about Republicans and 138 about Democrats. All four comedians made more wisecracks about Mr. Romney than about the president.
            "Romney is leading in the humor race, but being the biggest joke is a race nobody wants to win," said CMPA President Robert Lichter.
            In the 2008 general election, CMPA found that Mr. Obama finished fourth with 243 jokes, behind Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (658), GOP vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin (566), and outgoing Republican President George W. Bush (244).
            For all four comedians combined, joke totals for the top 10 targets were:
            1. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (Republican) ― 148
            2. President Obama (Democrat) ― 62
            3. Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (Republican) ― 39
            4. Former President Bill Clinton (Democrat) ― 28
            5. Rep. Paul Ryan (Republican) ― 20
            6. Prince Harry ― 19
            7. Clint Eastwood (Republican) ― 18
            8. Vice President Joseph R. Biden (Democrat) ― 16
            9. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ― 15
            10. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (Republican) ― 14

            Hayuko biased Judy,

            Pamoja na kwamba kuna ushindani mkubwa, Obama anaendelea kumuongoza Romney kwenye majibu muhimu yanayoweza kuamua mshindi.

            WASHINGTON (AP) ― Just about everybody agrees Washington is a gridlocked mess. But who's the man to fix it? After two years of brawling and brinkmanship between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans, more voters trust Mitt Romney to break the stalemate.
            Romney's message ― a vote for Obama is a vote for more gridlock ― seems to be getting through. An Associated Press-GfK poll shows that almost half of likely voters ― some 47 percent ― think the Republican challenger would be better at ending the logjam Thirty-seven percent say Obama would.
            Romney is pushing that advantage. He increasingly portrays himself as a work-with-everybody pragmatist. Obama counters by predicting that Republican lawmakers who now are focused on opposing his re-election will become more cooperative once he wins a second term.

            Hello Judy

            For this campaign are you targeting voters from Mabadiliko group?

            Obama has done nothing strange to American and the rest of the world He is just playing with Americans and the rest of the world psychology and brains. He is using his talent of reading the mind and airing out what people want to hear and doing the things people want to be done.

            He is a true politician

            During Bush era Africa got a lot of support from US but as from Obama, even his father's home country has benefited nothing from his first round and so nothing to expect in the second round if he wins

            Real Change for Real Development,
