Q- We should hope the economy steadily continues to improve, even with the headwinds all economies face. GM just took over as the #1 carmaker in the world, Caterpillar had the best quarter since 1947 and opened a new factory in the US. Newt or Mitt will be faced with the making the case 'I could have done it faster'.

OH, AND SPEAKING OF THE ECONOMY AND ALL THAT HUSSEIN HAS DONE FOR IT.......BY KEEPING THE BORDERS WIDE OPEN FOR UNTOLD NUMBERS OF ILLEGAL UNSKILLED ALIENS, CRIMINALS, AND MUSLIM BRETHREN........
Occupy to turn violent, says George Soros Billionaire George Soros is predicting protests by Occupy Wall Street will turn violent, while warning the U.S. financial system may collapse. "In an interview with Newsweek writer John Arlidge, Soros reportedly said riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable.
“‘Yes, yes, yes,’ he says, almost gleefully,” when asked about the prospect of Occupy turning violent, writes Arlidge.
Soros claimed the riots will “be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”
“I am not here to cheer you up. The situation is about as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career,” Soros said.
“We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or worse,” he said.
“The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system.”
However, WND has repeatedly documented the billionaire’s many ties to Occupy, including how the group’s reported nerve center is staffed by professional agitators deeply linked to organizations funded by Soros..............."

Should the candidates make public if they hold an official position within their Church. Deacon, Elder, Lay-Minister, Board of Director. As a High Priest in the LDS should Mitt be required to confront the public with this potential conflict.

Of course he should. But the public has become so materialistic and securlar that it doesn't matter much to any but those charictarized as loony far right and racist. This makes them easy pickens for the left wing media to marginalize to offer up as a ridiculous choice to who's already at the helm, whether he qualified to be there or not. The way things are going there's going to be an American Hitler, answerable only to his own demons.
So there you have it.
Tell me about the integrity of Newt, Mitt and Hussein rather than their flip flops, lies and abuses of power.
Let's see, a corporate raider who wears secret underwear, a disgraced speaker and a political organizer from Chicago.
The question is who's going to stop the TSA from groping your daughter?

Band on the Run
I prefer Romney and actually like a lot of what Ron Paul says. Gingrich strikes me as slime. He seemed slime as Speaker.
But I should be routing for Paul or Santorum.
I want the President of the United States re-elected. Unfortunately, not so many people are willing to believe he can walk on water compared to the last election.
I don't know the details but Gingrich is similar to Joe Biden. He explodes and chaos results. I can't wait to see how American women adore Callista the Whore. I should become a serial murderer and then convert to Roman Catholicism. That Tiffany bill is going to play if he becomes the nominee. I would love to know what historians say about his work for Freddie Mac. If only.

He was going to bring the country together. NOT.
Obama: The most polarizing president. Ever.
President Obama ran — and won — in 2008 on the idea of uniting the country. But each of his first three years in office has marked historic highs in political polarization, with Democrats largely approving of him and Republicans deeply disapproving.
For 2011, Obama’s third year in office, an average of 80 percent of Democrats approved of the job he was doing in Gallup tracking polls, as compared to 12 percent of Republicans who felt the same way. That’s a 68-point partisan gap, the highest for any president’s third year in office — ever. (The previous high was George W. Bush in 2007, when he had a 59 percent difference in job approval ratings.)
In 2010, the partisan gap between how Obama was viewed by Democrats versus Republicans stood at 68 percent; in 2009, it was 65 percent. Both were the highest marks ever for a president’s second and first years in office, respectively.
What do those numbers tell us? Put simply: that the country is hardening along more and more strict partisan lines.
While it’s easy to look at the numbers cited above and conclude that Obama has failed at his mission of bringing the country together, a deeper dig into the numbers in the Gallup poll suggests that the idea of erasing the partisan gap is simply impossible, as political polarization is rising rapidly.
Out of the ten most partisan years in terms of presidential job approval in Gallup data, seven — yes, seven — have come since 2004. Bush had a run between 2004 and 2007 in which the partisan disparity of his job approval was at 70 points or higher.
“Obama’s ratings have been consistently among the most polarized for a president in the last 60 years,” concludes Gallup’s Jeffrey Jones in a memo summing up the results. “That may not be a reflection on Obama himself as much as on the current political environment in the United States, because Obama’s immediate predecessor, Bush, had similarly polarized ratings, particularly in the latter stages of his presidency after the rally in support from the 9/11 terror attacks faded.”
Our guess is that Jones’ latter hypothesis is the right one — that we are simply living in an era in which Democrats dislike a Republican president (and Republicans dislike a Democratic one) even before the commander in chief has taken a single official action.
The realization of that hyper-partisan reality has been slow in coming for Obama. But in recent months, he seems to have turned a rhetorical corner — taking the fight to Republicans (and Republicans in Congress, particularly) and all but daring them to call his bluff.
Democrats will point out that Republicans in Congress have played a significant part in the polarization; the congressional GOP has stood resolutely against almost all of Obama’s top priorities. And Obama’s still-high popularity among the Democratic base also exacerbates the gap.
For believers in bipartisanship, the next nine months are going to be tough sledding, as the already-gaping partisan divide between the two parties will only grow as the 2012 election draws nearer. And, if the last decade of Gallup numbers are any indication, there’s little turnaround in sight.
