Heading into Monday's final debate and with just over two weeks until Election Day, President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney are now tied nationally, according the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Obama and Romney both get 47 percent among likely voters in the latest edition of the poll, conducted entirely in the aftermath of the second presidential debate last Monday. In the last national NBC/WSJ poll, which was conducted before debate season began, the president held a narrow, three-point lead over his GOP challenger, 49 percent to 46 percent.

Our forefathers put up with less tyranny than Obama is piling on us . Our forefathers went to war , walking miles in bare bloody feet on frozen ground, to risk death for freedom. We could make a few calls now?Go to Romney’s site and volunteer to call people in Ohio and other swing states. Doesn’t cost us anything to save America, freedom , and our way of life. The time is now.

Obama is killing coal , oil, etc. and private companies. Just if we allowed the private sector to develop the U.S.’s unlimited coal, oil, natural gas, oil shale etc. just if the government and EPA got out of the way , energy would be the cheapest in the world for U.S. companies who could then outcompete China and other countries.

This POS Obama has closed 204 coal plants,
and done millions of other crimes,
piled on 11,000 new pages of federal regulations on business, and 13,000 pages more government regulations from obamacare coming,
did many unlawful executive orders,
6 trillion in new Obama federal debt etc.

you Obama get out of the United States you crimimal, marxist, muslim socialist Obama.

Unfortunately I will have to miss the assured ass-kicking Romney is going to dish out since I will be at Soldier Field watching the HOPED FOR ass-kicking the Bears are going to administer to the Lions. Then go to Uno’s or Due’s for some pizza.

I’ll have to watch final episode of The Disaster’s destruction later.

Last months poll had Obama at 50% and Mitt at 45% with this sample

44 O/37 R/12 Ind

So this month where they are tied the Dem sample is the same, one less in the Republican sample and 3 less independents.

And hardly a single American realizes that Obama is far more successful than could ever have been hoped for. He trashed $Trillions and hardly any Americans realize why he is destroying everything he touches. The Muslim terrorist playing President will not leave peacefully. He and his terrorist organizations have more "tragedies" planned.

You politicianslie and each of us here are now in the most crucial time ever. For our founding fathers, for the generations yet to come , we must save freedom. Our founding fathers gave it all to us , all that we have : can we keep the faith? The stakes couldn’t be higher . It is up to us to stop evil( obama and socialism). The forces of evil (Obama and democrats) are closing in on their goal of destroying America and freedom .
With the help of the media Obama will pull a Chavez on America and enslave us. Let those that come us after say about us that we in our time we did all we could to keep them free.

No I’m not asking you to walk 20 miles per day over frozen ground to face in battle the greatest
power in the world as our founding Fathers did in the revolutionary war. I’m asking you to do all that you can from this moment forward to the election( calls for, donations to Romney etc).

Our forefathers put up with less tyranny than Obama is piling on us . Our forefathers went to war , walking miles in bare bloody feet on frozen ground, to risk death for freedom. We could make a few calls now.Go to Romney’s site and volunteer to call people in Ohio and other swing states. Doesn’t cost us anything to save America, freedom , and our way of life.

What did you think of the game? It was a W, but what happened to the Bears offense?

People, including myself, forget that the Bears’ offense is a work in progress. We cannot expect it to be very polished at this point. These NFL offenses are as intricate as a fine watch.

We have:
a new coordinator
a new line coach
a new left guard
a new right tackle
a new FB/HB
a new #1 WR
we lost our most productive WR of last year, Johnnie Knox.

So at this point we are doing well offensively considering.
With the best D in the league we have the time to perfect our offense while still in the thick of the fight for the title.

We were very close to turning this game into a blowout.
Refusing to run even once from the three was very stupid. And we had several near misses for interceptions.

Well, they have two more practice games until the real season starts Nov. 11.

A key for any contender is consistency. To put up 41 against the Colts then 34 against Dallas, then squeak out 13 against Detroit has me worried.

Plus that last minute drive by Stafford showed porous coverage. What if he started the game like that?

Anyway I agree, the offense is still gelling, hoping they come together.

Detroit has a very good defense so I expected a low scoring game. We could have scored some more but I think they basically decided to run the clock out after getting the lead.

The game started with the Lions dropping passes that did not help them.
