Is Obama really desperate now? Should we vote for Romney?
His speech and have made several decision over the last few days have become very direct and agressive, using Chinese investors as a subject, made it clear he won't back down on japan china island dispute. Just you thought that Obama is wise and won't be going to war sooner. Is this a desperate act for gaining votes? Will be keep the promises he made in this week? I dont even know what he stands for anymore. Maybe we should all vote for Romney instead, at least he willl look out for our jobs!

The USA has backed Japan in territorial disputes for a long time. Nothing new to see here.
As for China being an issue, Romney made it an issue when he claimed Obama was soft on China. He should have known better given his history of helping move American jobs to China and profiting greatly by doing so.

"at least he will look out for our jobs!"
What planet do you live on. Romney sent many of our jobs over seas through Bain and job growth fell from 43rd to 47 in MA while he was Gov.
He paid 1.3 million to a firm to commit voter fraud in 7 states. Romney is the desperate one. He thinks he entitled to the white house and will break any law to try and get there
Well Americans don't want him. Foreigners don't respect him. He is a cosmic joke. Mitt the Twit

Haha, It is Romney getting desperate! Obama is ahead in every poll, he is not desperate for votes. All he's doing is painting Romney as the crook he is. Romney is the one who's desperate, he's falling behind, and he has no chance in the electoral college anymore.
Obama 2012.

everybody thinks that their specific candidate will restore each thing. they are going to flame people who disagree with them, like people who flamed anti-obama in 2008, people who flamed anti-bush in 2004, and many years previous that. and that they are going to be incorrect repeatedly till this country is lost to the pages of historic previous. If anybody understood healthcare coverage or economic coverage, that they had hate the two applicants. I won't vote in this election if the sole 2 human beings on the pollare Obama and Romney. No, "obamacare will subsidize poor human beings!!" isn't awareness national healthcare. No, "romney will alter taxes!!" isn't awareness national taxation reform. you would be able to vote for one or the different out of lack of information, and ten years from now, your "i become misled" "i become tricked" "i did no longer know" may be an excuse on your friends, your loved ones, your community, and your self, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it is not an excuse to historic previous - and historic previous will smash this country simply by lack of information of the human beings.

Actually Romney is the one who is desperate. Romney was really petty tonight especially when Obama called out on how he was going do his plans

well if you like voting for liars because rommney told several in just one speech
then go ahead and vote for him.
one thing for certain though he is certainly not going to look after the interests of
the working class american as he said they were all scroungers.
you are in the same boat as we are in the uk having two main parties who are only
interested in keeping the rich happy and the poor can go to hell as far as they are
concerned.
but obama is the lesser of two evils, it is a pity he has not got the courage to stand
up and say that every time he tries to make life a little better for the ordinary worker
he gets voted down by the rich.

I am voting for OBAMA and here are some of the reasons why: Romney is not paying an equally proportional amount of his taxes than the general public. 47% of the people Romney is disparaging are families with three children who earn less than $55,000 per year. The number also includes my 82 year old mother who has paid into social security for more than 60 years. It also includes my nephew who did a number of tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why didn't Romney bring up our country's major corporations who are able to maneuver tax forgiveness and other economic benefits while taxpayers pick up the gap... There are 240 corporations including ExxonMobil and AT&t that have received $227 TRILLION dollars of tax abatements. In the meantime, those companies have not offered us any breaks on cheap oil or better telephone service and their head personnel receive mind boggling salaries and bonuses.
Romney is at the hands of big corporate money and individuals who back him only after their preferred candidates imploded during the primaries. Now that he is running for President he denied he was ever for any of the convictions he stood for not long ago. Currently he talks about a plan to establish a plan to plan for a plan to motivate the planning of a strategy for a plan. Some people are going to state his record as Governor of Massachusetts which he led when our economy was steaming ahead; today he pretends he never endorsed the policies which he put forth because they are not endorsed by those who fund his campaign. He has no principles. Additionally he keeps talking about deploying our troops every time there is a diplomatic hiccup overseas. In the meantime he squirrels his money away in other countries so he is not paying his share to support our troops.
He's not a man; he's a commercial. He speaks about a plan but he has never provided any concrete information. Some people believe that because he is a businessman he will have been knowledge to fix our economy. But one of the most successful businessman - Herbert Hoover - led our country into the Great Depression, and it was the confidence and the intelligence of a Democratic President that helped recover our economy. Another President with an MBA burned through our budget surplus and left our country in taters and at war. The debt growth while he was governor was during different economic times. There has been a worldwide economic crisis since 2008. Unemployment with our European allies hovers at 20-25%. There are parents who are giving up their children to orphanages because they can no longer afford to care for them. We are fortunate that our economy is somewhat stable in these dire times. We are now at 8.1%. When Reagan was President, his unemployment figures always hovered between 7.1% and 7.4%. One in every six Americans is now living in poverty and these numbers will only grow. According to Romney's plan, the Middle Class will be saddled with $2,000 more in taxes but the upper echelon who earn $3,000,000 or more will see a reduction of $250,000 in theirs.
I also feel Romney will endanger our foreign policies. He travelled to Europe and to Israel this summer and was able to infuriate one of our biggest allies and made a comment about Jewish people that was both rude to the Jewish people and to their Arab neighbors. He has stated that he is ready to go to war - but to what avail. So far, Obama saved our troops from Libya and Syria. Considering the difficulties we are now experiencing overseas with the video debacle it is vital to have a President who can make our case and not make another war.
I am voting for the best candidate: President Obama. I am confident that our economy is improving. I am confident about his decisions regarding our foreign policies. I am confident he wants to leave a positive legacy for his children and mine.

Romney doesn't stand a chance in the election and he doesn't care about America or Americans. He wants to bring back the same policies that George W Bush had which clearly had disastrous consequences on the economy.
