President Obama hasn't the chops for the job. He had no experience when he took the job, and we are now paying the price for voting for his inexperience. Book learning isn't the same as actual experience.
I'm voting for Romney in November. The country can't take another 4years of an OJT President.
Here's John Tucker's plan to fix the economy:
1.) Get manufacturing back in this country, change our trade laws and make it happen.
2.) Get an all of the above energy production going immediately.
3.) Fix the skills gap across the country, there's 3-4 million open positions without enough qualified applicants to fill them. Here in my state of Michigan, there's 80,000 - 100,000 open positions RIGHT NOW that employers can't find enough qualified applicants to fill them. Most of these positions are in healthcare, IT, law, medicine, nursing, finance, accounting, business, education and engineering. We need college students to go to college and major in THESE areas, not the dumb majors like Art, English, Psychology, Sociology, Women's Studies, etc. that build no real employable skills or relevant experience.
4.) Reform the tax code, 50% pay no income taxes and a small group of people pay the MAJORITY of the income taxes. Implement a progressive low flat tax rate structure, take out all these deductions, credits and exemptions, simplify the code.
5.) Get our budgets balanced immediately so we are no longer adding to the national debt, cut government.
6.) Get these students to stay in school and graduate high school. Where in the hell are you going in LIFE without graduating high school? I don't get it??
If you fix the skills gap ALONE, that unemployment number comes down to the 6.8% area, when you fix manufacturing and the energy production issues, now we are down to under 6% at around 5.7%. When you do everything else, we are now around 5% unemployment.
Listen folks, the foundation and BULK of what makes America number one is STILL THERE. We are still the top economy in the world and we are still growing even though it's very slow and the jobs are being added even though they are very low.
If we implement my pro-growth policies above, the jobs market will be fixed and we will have one of the biggest growth rates ever.
Bad jobs numbers. Market doom. Dems abondoning ship. Major pushback against Bain attacks. Dire fundraising requests.
More histrionics.... We're looking at a modest two-month dip. Democrats are not defecting. Obama has tons more money than Romney.
It will depend on how the economy performs from now to November.
Respectfully, this is a very simple minded analysis of the situation Obama finds himself in.
That's why we need obama. He has more experience. He has been president for 4 years. Mexican romney has never been president in his life.

Yea, vote like the UK for an austerity pattern of CUT--CUT--CUT for 2yrs and see the effects!!

I hope Bush told Obama the real reason that our economy is in the tank.
Barney Frank and telling the banks to sell houses to people with no jobs or income.
Bush warned us to get out of real estate.

Robots, computers and the internet are much of our downfall. It's just too easy to automate and outsource many jobs.
Those with useful educations will always find good jobs. The "working Joe" is who will suffer the most. Not everyone is smart enough to get an engineering degree. There used to be plenty of work for them.
Check out a Mexican movie "Sleep Dealer" and you'll see a bit of the future problem. Mexican labor without the Mexicans.

I am having a deja vu moment here. If I didn't know any better, I'd think there was a celebration breaking about over this poor economic news.
We will have to wait till 2016 since the GOP decide to nominate someone that is constitutionally ineligible for the presidency.

1) Yes, start taxing incoming foreign made products with higher Tariffs, make the Tariffs even higher for products made overseas by US companies and imported, buy Made in the USA
2) Yes, work on making US energy Independent
3) So True
4) What? Have everyone pay their fair share? ...lol... how would Lifelong Politicians get re-elected .....lol..
5) Let's start with 10% across the board cuts in Government Spending with the exception of Veterans benefits, weed out the waste and corruption in all programs
6) Keep kids in school? What and have educated people voting in our elections? ..... lol....
I may add # 7), get rid of the Job Killing laws and regulations enacted in the last 20 years

U.S. manufacturing is not as dismal as some argue. At the same time, it also is not as competitive as it could be. Changing trade laws won't necessarily lead to greater competitiveness and, protectionism, might lead to retaliation depriving U.S. manufacturers of access to growing export markets. This is a private sector challenge (short-term vs. long-term choices, addressing cost structure challenges, innovation and improvement, etc.) at least as much as a policy one (helping produce a world-class workforce via education, etc.)
How? I'm assuming you're thinking of massive deregulation. However, achieving greater energy independence is not solely a regulatory matter. Market prices and investment are key. Your 5th point would almost certainly preclude meaningful public investment e.g., to help underwrite R&D and/or help address externalities. In the current market environment, regulatory changes would probably have a modest short-term impact.
The structural mismatch between workforce skills and present/emerging labor market needs can't be fixed quickly. Many of the requirements e.g., in health care, require knowledge and other skills (e.g., enhanced critical thinking) that are difficult to build even over periods of time. Additional barriers e.g., geographical barriers, also exist. Structural unemployment cannot be solved in the short-term.
Good points but understand that our trade laws are destroyed, politicians implemented these idiotic trade laws in the 90's that basically shipped our manufacturing base overseas. Like it or not, what made the middle class and what made AMERICA after the Great Depression was manufacturing. We made things, we produced things and we shipped them over the world selling them. Now American companies produce things in China and sell them back to the United States, what sense does that make? Again, horrible trade policies and we need quality policy to correct it.
LMFAO... that sounds like a tacit admission that Obama hasn't got the skills to do so either... While at the same time attempting to discredit Romney for the fact that his father emigrated here from Mexico, and established residency before Romney was born, but regardless by being born here Romney is a legitimate citizen... So since you've established Obama isn't going to do it, and that your attempt to discredit Romney is bogus... looks like we've found our man...
