    Reality is the American people can make their own assessment of whether the economy has gotten better under President Obama or not. Romney is a corporation raider, you have to very cold blooded and heartless in buying people out of their equity profit when they are down, the bottom line it the same as the hedges fund dealer's look were they left this country.You think Romney is going to care about the middle class, and the poor, pay attention to his speech there no true or sincerity in it, there no way he will have 12 million jobs by end of his end of term, he has to keep making big profit for the big corporation who are donating money to his campaign and that only mean one thing send jobs to China the Bush way.

    Does anyone remember the President's comments back in the 2008 election?
    He remarked that an incumbent President shouldn't have to rely on attacking his opponent if he was a successful President. Looks like Mr. Obama is admitting that he has not been doing a very good job, since his whole campaign is about attacking his opponent.
    By the way, how much work is the President getting done these days? It seems he spends day after day after day campaigning and fundraising. when does he do his job?

    only a biased news agency like CNN and their obama boy John King will talk about a recovering economy in Ohio without mentioning Kasich' name at all. Want to know where unemployment has gotten a little better? Try every state with a Republican Governor. Want to know where unemployment is highest? Try states with Tax and Spend liberal governors. Sorry journalism. Wonder why their ratings are as poor as obama's approval numbers? They both don't get it. America is tired of the half truths you get from both. Watch Obama lose in November and CNN will be running Andy Griffith and Gilligan Island reruns during prime time just to make some advertising dollars. It will be funny when Anderson Cooper starts doing promos for Punky Brewster and ALF.
