President Barack Obama
Several weeks ago, Gallup polls indicated President Obama, the head of the Democrat Party, is set to lose the November 2012 election by a significant margin. Now the Rasmussen polling company has released its data, revealing Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney and his fellow political party member, Rick Santorum, are several percentage points ahead of President Obama in the polls for the presidency. Romney is carrying the clearest lead.
None of this spells good news for Obama. The economy is the main issue weighing on people's minds, as folks simply can't pay their bills, due to the significant rise in the cost of living in America. Many have lost their homes, cars and savings. Romney's business background is helping him in the polls in this regard.
I don't believe President Obama grasped the severity of the situation when he assumed office, regarding how much damage had been done during the Bush years, but refused to listen to sound advice and spent $5 trillion dollars more. There are always times in life we can learn from history and forbearers, regarding what works and what does not in times of crisis.

Former Massachusetts Governor and Republican Party frontrunner Mitt Romney
Obama entered office with his own ideas and he was and is entitled to that. However, he owed it to the nation to follow the financial examples of those that came before him, who succeeded in office during tough financial times, such as former President Bill Clinton and in Britain, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. They saw turn arounds and profitability during their tenures, during rough economic times.
Bush and Obama spent America into a hole, following their philosophical beliefs that did not pan out. There ought to be a law that a head of state can only spend a certain amount of money and no more, with rare exceptions granted. It is going to take many years to tackle the national deficit and that is only with a president that knows finance well.

"Arthur" the remake of the 1981 film of the same name, did not live up to its predecessor, regarding the promiscuous Brit living in New York. The reboot, which stars British comedic actor, Russell Brand, in the role, did not quite do the late Dudley Moore justice. Most filmgoers probably did not look past the surface of this film's trailer, to buy a ticket to see it, as the movie so paled in comparison to what came before it, the deterioration in quality was immediately apparent.
The film did have a few funny moments, but it took way too long for them to arrive. Some jokes did fall somewhat flat, while ironically characterizing the Obama Administration's view on economics. When officials inform Arthur he is living a lavish and meaningless life, by stating, "How do you explain this frivolous spending during a recession" - he simply goes to an ATM, obtains funds from his family's account and spontaneously begins throwing it all over a room full of people while proclaiming, "Free money, recession's over, we're in a boom." The Obama school of economics, indeed.
Speaking of Obama, Hollywood has been name dropping him in their movies, as a means of promoting him. This is being done in bids at propping him up, after their insane agenda, bad advice and constant presence at the White House, firmly planted the first African-American presidency in trouble (see polls). When Arthur is confronted by his mother about his debauched lifestyle and her desire for him to marry a domineering woman he does not love, she admonishes him by stating, "As the charming coffee colored gentleman (Obama) that runs this country said, 'It is time to put aside childish things.'" Actually, that phrase came from the Bible (1 Corinthians 13:11). Leave it to Hollywood to compliment and insult in the same sentence, where no matter what they tell you, race is a factor.

The U.S. unemployment rate is going to go up again, due to announced layoffs by two American giants - Bank of America and the U.S. Postal Service. As stated a few weeks ago, the Postal Service seeks to layoff 120,000 people. Last week, it was revealed Bank of America could, "Cut as many as 30,000 jobs."
If both units get their way, that's 150,000 more people in the unemployment line. There are other companies in the corporate sector threatening massive layoffs as well, during the current financial crisis. The question is, what will President Obama do to address the matter? Is President Obama in communication with any of the companies in question or the Postal Service, in trying to head off the problem?
What happened to all the stimulus money Bank of America was given by the U.S. government? Will the U.S. Congress bailout the Postal Service, which is scheduled to go bankrupt this Christmas? Where are the responses from the government, regarding the announced layoffs in the corporate sector?

Barack Obama
U.S. President Barack Obama has stated he is attempting to spend America out of a financial recession depression, in the manner he says former President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, did during his term.
However, once again, Obama is not taking into consideration, the America of today, is a different one from Eisenhower's days in office. Like I was actually there. I wasn't born yet, but I can read history books, you know.

Dwight D. Eisenhower
In all seriousness, Eisenhower did not have to battle two costly wars in the Middle East, an unprecedented number of foreclosures, a massive number of bank closures, widespread business failures, record high deficit and an empire in serious decline.
Yes, he spent large sums of taxpayer money on urban renewal and developing the highway system, as a means to create employment, but it should also be noted, there was a recession during his term, not long after the spending commenced. Eisenhower did many things for America, but that was a different time and Obama is dangerously living in the past, when his mind should be anticipating the future.

According to an article published in the Sun Sentinel, U.S. President, Barack Obama continues to blame former Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush, for the financial crisis that has refused to release its grip on the American economy.
Yes, Bush is responsible for the crisis, but Obama is culpable for having made it much worse with over-spending. History shall not indemnify Obama from the negative impact his massive spending has created on the nation's financial books.

George W. Bush
President Obama needs to take responsibility for the poor financial decisions he has made and the damage it has done to the national deficit and economy as a whole. George Bush ate my homework will not cut it.
Regardless, I don't think George W. Bush would eat paper. Now, I can totally picture him eating or sniffing glue, Mr. Misunderestimate. You know he was one of the original glue sniffers in school. That's the only explanation I can think of for the gaffes.
