Battle 2012 [update August 2011]
A NEUTRON ELECTION
The killing of Osama bin Laden, had boosted the President’s overall ratings, but poor handling of initial information by the White House managed to step on their major accomplishment. The Obama Administration has gone after Al Queda in ways the Bush Administration failed to do.
However, If the Economy does not improve soon, no amount of fawning support from the media will save the Obama Presidency. The Congress also will experience a “neutron election”, Democrats, Republicans; Progressive members of congress will all be in jeopardy. Nothing less than a new believable dynamic plan for the economy that the puts U.S. citizens back to work will save any of them.
Polls show only 26% of Americans say the U.S. is heading in right direction .
While the Administration spends major time on issues like gay marriage, illegal immigration, and unions these groups altogether are not enough to get Obama reelected for a second term. 12-14% of Americans are in unions, and the Presidents policy on immigration is at odds with the American public. 64% Still Put Border Security Ahead of Legalizing Illegals Already Here.
The Economy as a whole remains in dangerous terrority:
New Low of 26% Approve of Obama on the Economy
High Unemployment
Announced layoffs jumped in July to 66,400, a troubling 60% increase compared with June.
Just as worrisome, that's part of a trend -- July was the third month in a row for rising layoffs.
Number of Green Jobs Fails to Live Up to Promises
Nations Debt – Spending without results
United States loses prized AAA credit rating from S&P
Fed's Massive Stimulus Had Little Impact: Greenspan
New High: 93% Say They're Paying More for Groceries Than A Year Ago
Republicans Too Narrow Focus
Republicans continue to push for no tax increases, a repeal of Obamacare and a reduction in spending. So far they have not been able to explain exactly how this will result in jobs. Their main message has concentrated on the failings of the Obama Administration. Obama Cheerleaders in the mainstream news media continue to deliver talking points, and unanimously declare there is a “weak GOP field”.
Mitt Romney expects to be GOP nominee, and so does most of mainstream media. This is early in the game and with so many potential GOP candidates, should anyone count on this happening?
Analysts Say a Flurry of Retirements Helps GOP, With 23 Democrats-Held Seats in Play.
Nancy Pelosi
China
China China is not a friend and will continue to be a threat until America
Afghanistan
A Vote Against Dems, Not for the GOP Voters don't want to be governed from the left, right or center. They want Washington to recognize that Americans want to govern themselves.

Who will run against President Obama in 2012?
We don’t know the answer yet, or if the President’s opposition will come from both Democrats, and Republicans. We do know that like the recent midterm elections the race will be Obama’s to win or lose.

China
As recently as last month, American and Afghan officials held high hopes for the talks. Senior American officials, including Gen. David H. Petraeus, said the talks indicated that Taliban leaders, whose rank-and-file fighters are under extraordinary pressure from the American-led offensive, were at least willing to discuss an end to the war.
TSA - Public Outrage is not about Safety Procedures

All Politicians Should Be Aware
The American people are watching and will no longer accept “bringing home the bacon”, as a reason to vote for those who in their zeal want to change America into something they don’t want. At the end of the day most Americans are proud of who we are and what this nation has accomplished, and are fully aware of our faults and willing to work to correct them.
