Is anyone going to say why they're going to vote for Obama again?

Between the people I work with and my friends,Mylotters and the people who comment on articles on Yahoo,the majority of these people are against Obama. Yet,in the polls,Obama is in the lead. Who are these people they're polling? Why are so many people so worried about Romney's tax returns when Obama won't reveal many transcripts from his past or a real birth certificate. He has lied to the people continually.He's run Obamacare and amnesty down our throats without any warning,probably because not very many people people wanted either. He's embarrassed our country in front of foreign dignitaries. Of course,let's not forget the 16 trillion dollar debt he's built up. So,again I ask,why are people going to vote for Obama again?

Where I work, there is a sign up that Romney will fight against unions. So all a lot of people see is stuff like this. They do not care that we are 16 trillion in debt and all of the other bull out there. The union president tried to tell me Obama was a former Governor of Arizona...this shows how much they really know.

If he doesn't care enough about Israel to meet with its prime minister, he cares even less for any and all citizens of the United States. You B.O. votes mean NOTHING to him. If he gets reelected (and God help us if he does) do you really think he's going to make things better? If he was-he would have from the start. You are nothing but a tool to him.

Oneidmnster, you never cease to amaze me, you still rag the president but you never says why you hate our president? This is the reason why Pres. Obama will get reelected because of all the hatred for the man. Pres. Obama nor Romney are good choices for the job, but in my opinion what we have now is better than that uncaring challenger who acts like poor people doesn't exist. It also surprises me why it took so long for the media to out Mitt Romney I said this month ago in one discussion I started that no one wanted Mitt Romney: www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2601512.aspx This is why the polls seems to defy logic. ...

Yeah. It confuses me as well, as I've stated in previous replies. I feel like Jerry Seinfeld over here. Who are these people? Obama doesn't deserve another four years. He hasn't done anything but campaign since put in office. He signed a healthcare bill that no one read. He's spent insane amounts of money, and his only answer for solving the debt crisis is to raise taxes. He got OBL, but every fair-minded person gives him A LOT of credit for that while also realizing that it was Bush-era policies that got the intel. So he only benefits from being the guy in office who pulled the trigger, not the guy who put in the legwork. And, to top it off, he didn't gaffe when saying that he can't fix it from the inside. He can't fix it. He can only change it. He doesn't deserve another term. That being said, I don't think Romney deserves it either. So wtf.

There is a rather large portion of the population that lives off the government. They will always always vote for whoever promises to give out the most goodies. Obama is a the evil Santa the robs the workers to pay the bums. Class envy will always gain votes.

I wonder the same thing and the only thing I can think of is like Romney said....those on welfare and government freebies.. know that if he is not re-elected...they might have to get a job. They want the freebies. It is called "Generation Welfare"...where the mother is on welfare which teaches the children to grow up to be on welfare and raise their children to do the same. But at the same time... how many of those are there compared to those that not work but want to work! I think people just vote for their party, because they have to.. "I'm a Democrate I vote "D" all the way down". Well, that isn't what being a Democrat or Republican is all about! Unions...encourage voting Dem...and I guarentee you that most don't even know why they vote for Dem,....they just do cause they are told to vote Dem as that is what they are. But the mess recently.. come on... why vote for a guy that said he didn't have time to talk to another countrys Prime Ministaer about a war that is going to be starting cause he had to go to Vegas for a fund raiser and then the rest of the week was "booked up" with a rock stars and a visit on late night TV!?!??!?! But...they vote for him. I can't figure it. Plus, they are using the 2008 voting tallys as tho they were todays, and they poll "registered voters" not likely voters. Just cause they are registered doesn't mean they will vote. I sure hope enough see the light and place the proper vote to get that man out of town!

We got stuck with Obama because Bush did such a rotten job. Obama will probably be reelected because Romney is making a lousy candidate. The polling results depend on what section of the country you live in. If you're in the South like me, Obama is trailing badly. Obama has substantial leads in the Northeast, the Pacific Coast states, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Romney leads in traditional red states such as Arizona, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Indiana, Kentucky, etc. Battleground States such as Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, etc. are close. Many people, besides loyal Republicans, just want to get rid of Obama and will vote for Romney as the default candidate. Loyal Democrats fully support Obama. But Independents and swing voters are weighing the choice and Romney is losing because he exhibits lackluster leadership skills and has commited amateurish gaffes. These voters see Romney's proposals as vague and Mitt is not making the case to them that will do a better job.
