I've realized this thread mimics the E3 Conference thread. Instead of "LOLOL Nintendo doomed" its "Obama's failing!"

So basically, if people are naive to think Obama is fucked, this election is locked up for him. Good gauge here. :p

I think it will be alright but I am really annoyed with Obama right now.

I can't believe they're gonna keep hammering this "trickle down government" thing.

Guess what, Mitt? Government benefits don't " trickle down," you get a fucking check in the mail.

This is going to look bad on the blogs. (Already pretty bad on Twitter.) Obama doesn't have the responses he needs for some reason.

He'll probably still win.

But he has no substance and his rhetoric, as well-delivered as it is, only speaks to the base that was already going to vote for him.

I guess this drives republican turn-out but it's not winning any independents.

To those who don't dive deep into what he's saying, Romney is coming across as a man with a clear idea of what he wants to do.

Back to your trollish ways I see.

It's true. I wouldn't be upset if Obama wasn't so weak. Romney is flat out lying about everything but manages to get away with it because he uses strong language like government taking away freedom, preserve individual liberty etc. basically alluding to Obama administration as if it was on the road to Stalinism.

Instead of Obama doing the same about capitalism and showing why private healthcare industry is absolutely unethical he doesn't even go there. It's such an obvious common sense thing that most people would agree with but he's too afraid to try it out and instead does this even handed nonsense.

He can't even properly deflect 'central government' criticism. Maybe he's just a bad debater but I don't believe that, he just seems incapable of viciously attacking something. ANYTHING. The hardest Obama has ever been was during the immigration amnesty when that pumpkin pie haircut guy interrupted him and Obama said not while I'm speaking. Pull that shit out it's a debate not a book discussion.
 
Fuck it, just say what you mean. One wants a gimped government, the other wants government as a positive force.

I'd much rather have it be a positive force myself.

When they were supposed to talk about jobs they spent twenty minutes arguing about the deficit. President Obama seemed to suggest that balancing the budget would cause the economy to grow. The opposite is true. Romney made more sense on the issue by accident.

Well, almost.

If you're going to balance the budget anyway, pure spending cuts hurts a lot more than a mix of tax increases and spending cuts.

You're right though, that neither is desirable in a recession.
