Voting support from young voters for Obama will come at voting day when they view the Presidential nominee from the opposition. The current wannabe's

are outclassed. It appears they are all show and no blow. They need a knockout competitor. Where is the one that can beat him? He's got what it takes and i believe he will be re-elected. He's coming in on a win win situation. Like it not he's producing and the reports show it.

Obama have failed those who voted for him: unlike any other president he had full support of both senate and house, but he wasted it! He did not stop the war in Iraq but waited for 2011 date as planned by Bush. He did not stop the war in Afghanistan and, moreover, he started the war in Libya! He did not do anything about epidemic problem of housing market resulting in people living in parks and forests, and whole cities being bulldozered! He did not meet any of the demands from Occupy Wallstreet, failed to even meet with them when they asked him in NY! His administration "reset" the relationships with Russia, but nothing has changed and Russia still hates the US as before. Under Obama, as Clinton said, the US turned from creditor to debtor! The unemployment keeps rising as do prices in grocery stores!

Obama is a four year president. He will lose Florida and the election. It is hard to say what Romney will do for he has no idea how to stimulate the economy. But from what I see the people who had money still have it. It is only those that did not that are in trouble as banks and insurance companies have been bailedout. So things will look similar to what happened in Japan as the recovery is flat.

I on the other hand was a General Motors bond holder and what Obama is to us shouldn't be done to a dog. he company is now government motors and likely to stay what way until Romney decides enough it enough. That is not how our system works. So maybe something good will occur. But we have downsized. It is as if some people came to the end of the earth and fell off.
