Which back voters in the US wants to see

With American Presidential elections coming closer as always we can see the smearing campaigns getting stronger. It may give the impression the New World seems to like a strange system whereby power before the election can determine a lot and money can make or brake some one, by putting out the dirty laundry.

With unemployment seemingly stuck above eight per cent American voters’ concern over the future of their country should make them think harder. We as they also have to wonder how it could come so far that even Judeo Christian principles or values have become the target of the speak of the day. In case the 60 per cent who say the US is ‘on the wrong track have good reason to be right, which they have, they should even be more aware of the impact heir vote can make. But on the other hand you also may question why they do not see that Obama is trying to get them on the right track already for months, but had so much wind against him that by this sandstorm many did not see the light he put up. To get the train on the right track again Obama did perhaps not choose to be the most popular guy, but he tried to give the 32 per cent, who say the country is going ‘in the right direction’, a valuable future where they could see the reason and the outcome of those stringent measures.

Days after the mass shootings in Colorado, guns shifted to the forefront of the presidential campaign as President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney engaged in their most extensive discussions on the issue since the tragedy.

Obama, in a speech to an African-American group Wednesday in New Orleans, embraced some degree of additional restrictions on guns. He acknowledged that not enough had been done to prevent weapons from getting into the hands of criminals and pledged to work with lawmakers from both parties to move forward on the matter.

Romney said in a television interview that changing the nation’s laws would not prevent gun-related tragedies. But he mistakenly said many weapons used by the shooting suspect in Aurora, Colo., were obtained illegally, despite the fact that authorities allege that the firearms used to kill 12 people and injure dozens more were purchased legally.

During remarks Wednesday night to the National Urban League, Obama acknowledged a national pattern of calling for tougher gun restrictions in the wake of violent crimes but not following through.

“Too often, those efforts are defeated by politics and by lobbying and eventually by the pull of our collective attention elsewhere,” he said.

Obama called for stepped-up background checks for people who want to purchase guns and restrictions to keep mentally imbalanced individuals from buying weapons. Those steps, he said, “shouldn’t be controversial. They should be common sense.”

Still, Obama is unlikely to make a robust push for new gun control legislation while mired in a deadlocked campaign centred squarely on the economy.

For Barack Obama the most important meeting of the day may be to be with his children, because he could use some easy talk after all the debate and the battle he has to do to convince others of the necessity of taking measures which may not sound so sympathetic but are necessary to bring the country further in the future in good health with a sound economy.

Sometimes it need courage to do unfavourable things and to pass unpopular law, but it is more important to make the best choice to secure a better future, having the long term in mind instead of just looking for tomorrow until sunset.

President Obama’s administration announced a new policy that will give legal status to young, law-abiding immigrants, including students and members of the military.

This momentous decision is a critical first step to addressing millions of young immigrants who have grown up in the United States. Having been born there, living in the country for many years, having worked there and contributed taxes, they should be able to find everything become regulated so that they can be considered as a full American. But before the government does that it should really check very well if all the conditions are all right, and that they really have become part of the American way of life, knowing the language and agreeing with the way of life.

At NALEO President Obama said: “As long as I have the privilege of being your President, I will be alongside you fighting for the country that we, together, dream of.”

The danger in the American system to be able to get votes and campaigning, is that a lot has to do with funding and having enough money. Those who do not have any money to start campaigning are already lost from the start. Once gone in the running, enough funds have to be found and it stays a battle to get enough money to make sure that the voice can be heard everywhere.

Romney and Republicans outraised the

Figures in press articles do not agree with figures given by the camps: Was it 100 millions spend in attack ads or did Obama’s campaign spent an estimated $49.6 million while Romney’s has spent $19.6 million?

Barack Obama camp in June — and that’s not even including money to pro-Romney super PACs. Obama and his followaers say they are building their campaign the right way — with small donations from grassroots supporters like they can find a lot everywhere.

For the Americans it does not seem only to be important who is helped to get enough funds for bringing out his ideas. they should think if insourcing jobs back to America or outsourcing them overseas shall have to be the choice. By making one person silent they could come to the silencing of a lot of American workers, the ‘lower’ man.

On the other hand giving even more money to the person who has already a lot of money and likes to give even more money and possibilities to those who have already a lot to say in industry, could not only make that person the power to get the seat in Washington, giving his example to the World Market, spreading the idea of getting more power for the money market and growing industry, looking for the cheapest place on earth to be able to use those people, no matter their living conditions, and no matter the price for them or their environment.

Everywhere people can vote they should consider all the pro’s and cons. They should look at the whole picture. Not only looking for the short term, having to generate a lot of money for a few, but looking for a future where everybody can be guaranteed a good living standard in a nice healthy environment.

To be able to get an affordable care and economic security, everybody has to be willing to contribute. It is that solidarity which should bring a people together and give them a sense of going together for the same goal, feeling that no matter which race, colour of skin, culture or religion, they are respected and accepted in the community and part of the same country where they want to sojourn.

In such country should be transparency a norm for all, and the man in charge shall have to give the good example. His way of living, his way of behaving, shall have to be conform the values and moral the country shall be striving to.

In the U.S.A. already a lot of Christians blame Obama that he agreed to the marriage between the same sexes. But what are they going to find about the allowance to have sex with more than one partner, which is already common goods in a lot of industrialised capitalist countries. Lawyers also should be pleased with the solution of allowing marriages with more than one woman, because that would save a lot of money in divorce disputes for many people. Several women shall fall in this proposition to accept an other woman, because they shall find financial security, having all the advantages of a married live, but having also more freedom to walk around as a free woman, doing as she wishes, because her husband can have an other woman for the moments she is not available. Polygamy being accepted is in the line of the same sex marriages allowance. The voters should be aware of that. Romney in any case shall have enough voices behind him to agree with such a proposition.

In case the Americans think Romney comes clean and that they do not have to fear the Mormon background, they perhaps could look at this and dig deeper in his previous ways of handling matters of economy, social and family life.

Do the people just want to have securities until sundown or do they prefer strong measures which shall bring them further than the next sunrise?

  The RCP average for polls in Michigan over the last six weeks shows an average gap of just 1.7 points — and Obama at 45.5%.  That’s very low for an incumbent Democratic President, especially one in a union-heavy state like Michigan.  In 2012, Obama’s average in Michigan state polls has never been higher than 51 points, and hasn’t been above the “magic” 50% level needed for incumbents since May 11th — more than two months ago.

  If independents play a larger role in this election, and the economy continues to decline, Obama could wind up losing Michigan — and that would be a death knell to his re-election hopes.  Regardless, it’s now clear that Obama will have to campaign hard in Michigan just to play defense, and that will mean shifting resources from states like Ohio and Virginia that Republicans have to win back this year to beat him.

  After spending more than $100 million airing mostly negative ads in the last three months, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney and their allies haven’t been able to move the public-opinion needle in the states most likely to determine the general election.

  In seven battleground states the candidates are either statistically tied or Obama holds a slight advantage, polls show. The deadlock comes as the campaign moves into a more critical phase that includes the presumptive Republican nominee’s foreign trip and running-mate selection and the two national conventions in late August and early September.

  Obama’s campaign spent an estimated $49.6 million to run ads in those seven states during the past 90 days, while Romney’s has spent $19.6 million. Crossroads GPS, Americans for Prosperity and Restore Our Future, three outside groups backing Romney, spent $29 million in those seven battleground states during the past 90 days. Priorities USA Action, founded by former Obama aides, spent $4.6 million in those states during that period, according to CMAG data.

Our challenge now is to repeat the enthusiasm and repeat the turnout we experienced in ’08.”
