- With our country going down the drain spending a trillion dollars a year we have to borrow, dept in gov like GSA spending 800,000 dollars on a Las Vegas party, Holders gun running, the green energy companies that have gone bankrupt, no plan from the president for Social Security/Medicare, and the list goes on and on. What we don't need is a rock star, we need a leader who will acturally attacks these and many other problems our country is facing.

- While he may appear likeable, one gets a bit put off by him continually looking you in the eye lying. The arrogance is amazing, he expects people to be ignorant when we are realize he has absolutely no idea what he is doing.
Time to get a grown up back in the White House

Here's a worrisome marker for the former Massachusetts governor: Fifty-two percent of those polled said the more they hear about Romney the less they like him.
"Based on his roughly 14 percent tax rate on 2010 income of about $22 million, the public by a broad 66-30 percent says Romney is not paying his fair share of taxes; even nearly half of Republicans say so, as do half of very conservative Americans. The public by 53-36 percent, a 17-point margin, thinks Obama better understands the economic problems people are having. Obama leads Romney by 55-37 percent in trust to better protect the interests of the middle class, and remarkably, by 10 points, 52-42 percent, in trust to handle taxes."
========================================================================================================================================
You keep posting that nonsense while ignoring the fact that all polls for the 2011 a election show Romney and Obama in statistical tie. And in none of the legit polls Obama gets more than 47%. You are also ignoring the fact that since 1964 the incumbent lost the undecided's by 95%.
In every poll there is about 10% undecided so that means if history repeats itself Romney will win by a land slide. But hey you can posting that nonsense about Romney's likability. But you need to realize Obama hasn't constantly been above 49% approval rating in over a year. So the numbers are pretty stacked against Obama.
Now I am saying it will be a land slide victory for Romney. No! I am saying it is going to come down to 1 or 2% and right now as an incumbent with high unemployment, poor housing market, high gas prices and massive debts it will be a struggle for Obama even against Romney. - Reply to this comment
- I'd vote for "cool" anytime! Why elect a boring president who just spends his time talking with other members of the Federal government to resolve legislative issues? We really need four more years of the "big stick" and "slow jamming"... Does that mean the president makes homemade jelly, just somewhat confused that term, but hey I'll vote for him anyway!!!

- Or, we could elect another anti American GOP economic terrorist pimp for the 1% who will complete the destruction of our beloved country.
Deficit when Jimmy Carter left office; $1 Trillion.
Ronnie Ray Gun, who was President of the Screen Actors Guild, before he was against unions, ran up $5 Trillion in deficits while cutting taxes for the rich, deregulating the financial system and then bailing out the S&L's and Chrysler with taxpayer money causing the Wall Street crash of 1987 and 10% unemployment.
Clinton campaign signs "It's the economy stupid".
Clinton got the revenue and spending side sorted out in 8 years and left Dumya budget surpluses and no additional deficit.
Dumya decides Ronnie Ray Gun didn't do enough to destroy America so he cuts taxes for the rich, runs up another $6 Trillion in deficits and deregulates the thieves causing the $850 Billion TARP and stock market crash of 2008 leading to 10% unemployment.
Currently, the USA has the lowest effective tax rates since the 1950's but we are spending Trillions on taxpayer subsidies for global corporations that are making record profits and tax cuts for the rich while contemplating cutting Medicare and Social Security according to the GOP mantra of restoring feudalism and serfdom .
Now, we are paying almost $400 Billion a year in interest, on deficits run up by anti American GOP economic terrorists, and that will be so every year going forward, no matter who is President, because these pimps for the 1% want to bring down our Constitutionally elected President.
- Or, we could elect another anti American GOP economic terrorist pimp for the 1% who will complete the destruction of our beloved country.
- What nonsense is this CBS is pushing? The Likability factor and Obama?
How can you like a president who has lied, broken promises, wasted 6 trillion dollars, thumbed his nose at the constitution, Tried to intimidate the SCOTUS, has had one scandal after another and has done nothing to fix the economy or the high unemployment and the price of gasoline, food, clothing and just about everything keeps rising?
CBS and the rest of the mainstream media acts like Obama is a family member or good personal friend of ours who people might let these failures slide because we "Like" them or in the left's case "Love" him no matter what he does.
We will see just how likable this lying fraud really is come election day.
CBS acts like we are all naive little kids who like someone because we really don't understand what terrible person they really are.
The Left loves him with unconditional love like a dog does until he "Eats" them for lunch. - Reply to this comment
- Likability is a fickle mistress. With Obama's hate mongers; Sharpton and Jackson competing for the stupid says award with Hanity & Rush white moderates may began taking a closer look at 4 more years of Obama. There is little Obama can do to curb World Oil demands and World oil prices but not addressing the issue head on is not winning any votes as the lack of confidence builds. He has been so busy appeasing the very voters who would never vote for a GOP candidate that he has ignored the independent. They say he is quick of mind and response, quick is good, but quick and correct is better. How many votes which the ultra right of the GOP has scared away has Obama won over? Has his actions of late scared them back to the GOP? It would not take much of a flap for many of his swing voters to become GOP best of the worst voters.

- Romney's rather a cold fish, but his BIG problem isn't his lack of "likeability": it's his lack of ideas. His "vision" is the same trickle-down "voodoo economics" the GOP has been pushing for two generations...the same "give money to rich people" free-market fundamentalism that produced the Crash of 2008. I won't be voting for Obama because he's so "likeable"; I'll be voting for him because he has a few ideas that people like Romney HATE!

- Obama polling behind Mitt Romney in April's Gallup poll. Why is this important. Because they say that an incumbent president has never been behind the presumptive nominee in April polling. Uh-oh

- Americans knew Ronald Reagan was an amiable dunce, but they liked him and voted for him. Voters knew Bill Clinton had the morals of an alley cat, but they liked him and voted for him. Jurors knew O.J. Simpson was a murdered, but they liked and acquitted him. The public knew Al Gore was qualified, but they voted for a bumbling know nothing in George Bush because they didn't like Gore who was an obnoxious boor(much like Romney). Does likability matter? History seems to indicate it does.
