If anyone thinks the economy will look better after another term of 0bama they need their head examined. Of course the 0bama media will report that it does. We however know better

When the economy TOTALLY CRASHES, the Obama administration and the lapdog media will simply say, “Bush effed it up so badly that we held off the crash for as long as we could, but it was inevitable.”

THe sheeple will accept this and elect HIllary to fully implement communism and be dictator for the rest of HER life.

If you really want to know what Obama's America would look like after a 2nd term, all you need to do is watch the TV Show "Revolution" on NBC.

It's downright frightening.

And how ironic is that - NBC? That’s almost comical.

Yeah, I know. I cut my DirecTV in August so all I have anymore is over-the-air channels and what I can find on Hulu Plus to watch.

Good news is I watch very little TV anymore and I'm saving $100/month. (Hulu Plus is mostly for the kids.) Bad news is, when I do watch something it's typically on NETWORK TV which I cannot stand. "Revolution" seems to be the one gem I can find on network TV.

Other than that, my hobbies (amateur radio, guns) now keep me busy. Feeding the brain with worthwhile activities instead of the junk that eminates from that 42" device pushed off in a corner.

If voters knew how America's economy would look after two terms of President Barack Obama's administration, Mitt Romney would win in a landslide.

That is so obvious that it stands as an indictment of the fools running Romney's campaign that scarring the pants of voters WITH THE TRUTH isn't the main thrust of the campaign.

BTW, what IS the main thrust of his campaign?

There’s still a Romney campaign going on?

Obama’s second term will transform this nation into something resembling the former East Germany or Venezuela. Once most of the people are living on the government dole Obama will shred the Constitution, rule by decree and declare himself President for life. If Obama wins in November I see that as the last free presidential election until he is overthrown in a revolution or military coupe.

I hope Romney makes it clear that Obama can act like an innocent bystander if he wants to, but he, Clinton, and Reid were all Senators in a Democrat controlled Congress for the last two years of Bush’s term. If Bush was so terrible why didn’t they do something? I also hope he makes it clear that “The Worst Recession in History” was over just six months into Obama’s first term. The remaining months have been the Obama recovery—the weakest, flimsiest, most feeble, most jobless recovery in the history of this nation.

Natural gas is not the enemy here. Obama and his administration are the enemy. Even if we never wanted to burn another lump of coal for energy or heating, that is no excuse to destroy the coal industry and ruin so many lives that depend on it. The Chinese are ready to buy all the coal we can mine and ship to them. Our balance of trade deficit could use the trade. But the problem is that Obama and his little green friends don’t want anyone anywhere in the world to burn coal. We must get these childish leftists out of power in the U.S. Sadly a third party vote will not do it.

“When the economy TOTALLY CRASHES, the Obama administration and the lapdog media will simply say....]

At that point they might not be in a position to speak, they may be in exile or so publicly shamed that they dare not open their pie holes in public ever again.

I’ll hazard a guess and say “the primaries?” Tell the audience what I’ve won, Jimmy...

....As you can see from this map, 175 fully-functional coal burning plants are being retired across the country, which puts further strain on our outdated energy grid while putting thousands of employees out of work.....

Do you know where Blackwelll hid the map he is referencing in the above ?

True - this all started before the gas boom. There were 92 new coal fired power plant projects that got canceled after Obama was elected. Our Ohio company makes equipment for coal plants and we laid almost 100 people as a result.

Now our mining business is getting hurt too. The only thing that has really kept us going the last few years is demand from China, Canada and South America for mining equipment. It is amazing how many U.S. projects in coal, ore, and other minerals get listed as “delayed due to permitting”. These are the jobs Obama won't let us create.
