After a brief glimmer of sun on his re-election bid chances, due to Hurricane Sandy, President Barack Obama now faces the music from the ineptitude of federal disaster relief efforts.
Actually, the term backlash is more appropriate.
The result? Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has started squeezing Obama in critical swing states never imagined just a month ago.
The states of Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Minnesota are in-play now. Obama’s trips this weekend to Colorado, Iowa and New Hampshire transmit as much.
The President’s early voting edge he enjoyed in Ohio in 2008, has also evaporated.
Tuesday night will be a long night. But not as long as some people believe. Voter intensity, evident at Romney rallies and early voting, is likely to overtake the evening. The reason falls back to the economy and nothing else.
The economy sucks, and will likely do so for some time under the President, and deep down people can feel it.
That feeling will be most evident when the undecided vote is recorded.
Benghazi …
Sandy …
Sorry guys, Romney is losing momentum. He is spending his time in PA because Florida is slipping away just like Ohio and Wisconsin.
He has changed his position so many times that no one trusts him. Hurricane Sandy made people realize that we need government in our lives. Even GOv Christie hugged Obama.What does that say? Staten Islanders, the most Republican borough of NY, is begging for FEMA help.
The “Big Bird” controversy actually got a lot of responses on Twitter.
Remember Goldwater: Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice? SOrry Barry, you took your party so far to the right that the Republican party has lost touch. Evewn the Salt Lake City paper endorsed Obama

“…Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July
Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you’ll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
`Cause we`ll put a boot in your ass
It`s the American way
Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you

# 2 –
looks like Government FAILED the people in New York area
looks like the (Obama) Government FAILED the Americans in Benghazi
Didn’t Obama PROMISED he would be a ONE-TERM president if he did not meet his benchmarks?
#2 I don’t know where you get your news, but everything you wrote is wrong. Romney is gaining momentum, newpapers are endorsing Romney and turning on Obama, Sandy has made people realize that government only impedes real help, Christie is only looking out for his own reelection, begging for FEMA help when FEMA has shown itself to be unable to do anything of use on time, Big Bird comment attack by Obama was a flop only proving Obama has no substance…..
Obama is the one losing momentum.
#2 – “news” from MS(BS)NBC?
#2 Since FEMA apparently FAILED and sooooo many New Yorkers are suffering, does that mean government relief was a success such that we need to rely on government? Hey… how about relying on Obama to do the right thing and making the overarching leadership decision in that BENGHAZI CATASTROPHE?
You are all delusional..but then who cares, Nov 7th, the country will win when the President is re-elected and MIttens goes back to his home,..of course, which one of his many homes will he return???The Mass home, the Utah home, the NH home, the La Jolla home, or maybe his Swiss home (where he can check his bank account).
I say: send Mittens packing …let the Romney family eat cake
Rob, you sound like the type that will turn your back on a friend or family member solely because they became successful. Or if you acquire a “new” best friend, and later find out he came from a wealthy family…you would hate him too.
I don’t know how many homes Romney has, but it’s good to know that good and decent people are wealthy too. He has my vote.
The Obamanation is Robbing America blind, what’s your excuse for not seeing the truth?
Romney/ Ryan —>ALL THE WAY TO DC!<—
I posted this joke before, but we don’t know how much longer Obama will be around, so here it is again:
The Pope and Obama are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd.
The Pope leans towards Mr. Obama and said, “Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they’ll forever speak of this day and rejoice!”
Obama replied, “I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand….Show me!”
So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage!
AND THE CROWD ROARED & CHEERED WILDLY!
ROB cannot answer :
Benghazi …
Sandy …
Social Security, Medicare, and FEMA benefit us all (yes even Big Bird helped)…not just the few lucky ones who got rich. You Republicans forget that not many people can move up in this US. If you are one of the lucky ones, I can understand your need to be even more greedy. But some of the poorer ones on this blog amaze me. You vote to give more to the Romney types at your own expense.
As for the fellow who doesn’t know how many homes Romney has, well that tells me the guy isn’t following the news. The name for that is uninformed.
We’ll see what Tuesday brings: Obama will be re-elected and hopefully Mittens will go home to figure out what he really stands for….he can’t seem to remember what he means. Pathetic.
ROB…..The voices on this site remind me of the depictions of the last days of the third Reich when Hitler was looking at maps of Berlin and trying to order troops that no longer existed. Mittens is kaput! HE HE HE. Der Reichstag es surrounded und ju vil cumenz zi out Snell! Come Wednesday morning no one will even want him as a friend.
If Romney wins we can all look forward to Mormon underwear.(Does Ann Romeny look like she wears that stuff?..no, that’s for the saps in Colorado City). She looks like a Vogue model. The lesson is this: the rules are for the other guys aka the 99%.
Don’t be a fool, vote for Obama.
Benghazi…sandy….pipeline….occupoop….7 missed opps for bin Laden….no ammo for m16′s….arab spring causing murders of Coptic Christians…syria… who is the fool?
@Anonymous #16: You are clearly the fool, taken in by the Limbaugh/Fox news.
I pity you
