From: Judy Miriga
Folks,
We are headed to the right direction and President Obama is right……It cannot be said better than the attached videos….. Being the first Black President, having taken the country from the brink of collapse with a burden that accumulated for about more than 30 Years; he worked hard to put the country on the right track; benefits of which will be reaped for many years to come. The result is not showing perfection not yet because those plans that has been planted by President Obama and team has to take full turn to be effective. It has to permeate every fiber and tendrils and fizzle through every limb of economic veins to make alive parts that were already frozen and collapsed so that economy bounce can be fully felt by everyone and also that it in effect remain stable and sustainable even more effective for a very long time.
The driver of the Reform that provided the improvement cannot be thrown out to bring a new driver; not just yet…….Why?……….It is because the economy is still too weak to be played around-with by those who brought us into this mess in the first place. This is the very reason why President Obama should be given a second chance to complete what he started and so to give America a Clean Bill of Good Health. This must be done if we want the change to get better so life can be of meaning to all of us in a balance where every one has a shot for opportunity to improve their own lifestyles. This is a structure for Peace and Unity people……….it reduces reasons to conflict, hate and animosity because there is not need to fight when people have equal opportunity for access to what they need without discrimination racial biasness or the Rich get richer and the Poor Poorer…….
President Obama is offering the best leadership across the whole world effects of which will soon be felt and manifested by all immediately when Peace and unity abounds and conflicts conclusively resolved……This is why he is different from all other Presidents and may we all give Credit to where Credit is due…….Obama is working for all of us……..
Cheers everybody…….

It looks like the Dem. will take the Senate. The House is a problem. Another lame duck Congress… you’d think people would be sick of seeing the Republicans blocking everything by now.
This was good news of course. ? But unless the Dem. take the House its all a moot point as nothing will get done even with Obama winning.

Obama on jobs report: We’ve “come too far to turn back now”

Celebrating a September jobs report that showed the lowest unemployment level since he took office, President Obama on Friday tried to make the case at a Fairfax, Va., rally that “this country has come too far to turn back now.”
The Labor Department announced Friday that employers added 114,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent – a welcome gift for the president, up against newfound momentum from GOP nominee Mitt Romney. Positive news about Americans finding work could help to tip the scale in the incumbent’s favor, something Mr. Obama half-joked about Friday.
Obama on jobs report: We’ve come “too far to turn back now”
“For the ‘undecideds’ who are here,” he said to laughter in the crowd, “as well as those who are watching today – I’ve said before, this is a choice not just between two candidates and two parties, but a choice between two fundamentally different visions for America. And today, I believe that as a nation, we are moving forward again. We’re moving forward again.”
While the president acknowledged there are still “too many of our friends and neighbors” looking for work, he argued, “they were struggling long before the crisis hit.”
“Today’s news certainly is not an excuse to try to talk down the economy to score a few political points,” he continued after talking up the jobs numbers for a minute and a half. “It’s a reminder that this country has come too far to turn back now.”
Mr. Obama also continued to mock Romney’s performance Wednesday at the first presidential debate – which pundits have largely awarded to the GOP nominee – calling his policy arguments an “extreme makeover” from his primary platform.
Obama: Romney “fact-checked by his own campaign”
After Romney claimed in the debate that he’d cover preexisting conditions under his health care plan, the president said, “I explained, ‘Well actually your plan doesn’t do that.’ And then his campaign has to come out and say, ‘Actually, that’s not true, our plan wouldn’t do that.’ So Gov. Romney was fact-checked by his own campaign. That’s rough.”
And though Romney on Thursday night called “completely wrong” a remark he made privately that 47 percent of Americans are dependent on government and consider themselves “victims,” Mr. Obama didn’t let up on the comments, saying Romney proved he is “willing to write off half the nation” before even taking office. He also kept up his ridicule of Romney’s promise to cut federal funding to PBS as a way to bring down the deficit.
“For all you moms and kids out there, don’t worry,” Mr. Obama said, “somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird… Elmo’s gotta watch out too. Gov. Romney plans to let Wall Street run wild again, but he’s going to bring down the hammer on Sesame Street.”
Romney to slam Obama foreign policy: ‘Hope is not a strategy’
By Holly Bailey, Yahoo! News
Senior Political ReporterThe Ticket
LEXINGTON, Va.—Looking to bolster his foreign policy credentials in the final weeks before Election Day, Mitt Romney will accuse President Barack Obama of “passive leadership” in the Middle East and will link last month’s deadly attack on the United States consulate in Libya to a larger critique of what he’ll describe as Obama’s failed leadership overseas.
“Hope is not a strategy,” Romney will argue in a Monday morning address at the Virginia Military Institute, according to excerpts released by his campaign.
Romney will use his speech to double down on his criticism of the Obama administration’s response on the attack in Libya, which claimed the life of Ambassador Chris Stevens. The Romney team is hoping to capitalize on what they believe is the Obama administration’s misstep in pointing to an anti-Islamic video as the trigger for last month’s attack as well as criticism over whether the attack could have been stopped in the first place by beefing up security at its overseas outpost.
“The attacks on America last month should not be seen as random acts. They are expressions of a larger struggle that is playing out across the broader Middle East–a region that is now in the midst of the most profound upheaval in a century. And the fault lines of this struggle can be seen clearly in Benghazi itself,” Romney will say, according to his campaign.
He will argue the attack in Benghazi was “likely the work of the same forces that attacked our homeland” during the 9/11 attacks 11 years ago.
“This latest assault cannot be blamed on a reprehensible video insulting Islam, despite the administration’s attempts to convince us of that for so long,” Romney will say. “No, as the administration has finally conceded, these attacks were the deliberate work of terrorists who use violence to impose their dark ideology on others, especially women and girls; who are fighting to control much of the Middle East today; and who seek to wage perpetual war on the West.”
Romney will also use the speech to offer new details on his overseas approach. Among other things, he is expected to call for more direct intervention in Syria, arguing that anti-government forces should have weapons. He will also call for the U.S. to be tougher on Iran, saying that if he’s elected president he will “not hesitate to impose new sanctions” on the country to stop the country from acquiring nuclear capabilities.
The speech comes as Romney tries again to gain advantage over what he has repeatedly described as Obama’s “weak” and “naïve” foreign policy approach. But it also comes as Romney tries to clean up his own perceived foreign policy missteps, including his own widely criticized response to the attacks in Libya, in which he accused Obama of sympathizing with those who had launched the attacks there on and on diplomatic missions overseas.
Romney is also still trying to undo damage from an overseas trip he took in July that was largely overshadowed by his suggestion that London hadn’t done enough to prepare for the Summer Olympics and by a swipe at Palestinians, whom he suggestion hadn’t moved ahead economically because of their culture.
On Sunday, the Obama campaign used the trip to preemptively attack Romney’s speech.
“We’re not going to be lectured by someone who has been an unmitigated disaster on foreign policy every time he’s dipped his toe in the foreign policy waters,” spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One as Obama launched a West Coast fundraising swing.
‘The only person who has offended Europe more is probably Chevy Chase,” Psaki added in an apparent nod to “National Lampoon’s European Vacation.”
Romney has come under criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for not offering enough details on what his foreign policy approach would be if he wins the White House. In previewing the speech Sunday, Romney aides argued he would offer “new details” on what his approach would be, but it was unclear exactly how far he would go in detailing exact policies.
“We’ve gotten various excuses about Benghazi, statements that (the White House) had to pull back from,” Eliot Cohen, a former adviser to George W. Bush who is now advising Romney, told reporters Sunday. “But you haven’t had an attempt to portray: What’s going on here? How should we think about it? What should we do about it? Gov. Romney’s going to do step forward and do the kind of things he would do as president–which is to lay out exactly those things.”
But the excerpts of his speech included points that Romney has previously made before on the campaign trail, arguing the country’s overseas leadership has diminished under Obama’s watch.
“I believe that if America does not lead, others will–others who do not share our interests and our values–and the world will grow darker, for our friends and for us. America’s security and the cause of freedom cannot afford four more years like the last four years,” Romney will say, according to excerpts. “I am running for president because I believe the leader of the free world has a duty, to our citizens, and to our friends everywhere, to use America’s great influence–wisely, with solemnity and without false pride, but also firmly and actively–to shape events in ways that secure our interests, further our values, prevent conflict, and make the world better–not perfect, but better.”

Obama: 7.8% unemployment rate means U.S. has come too far to turn back now
11:38 AM, October 5, 2012
Associated Press
President Barack Obama says an encouraging jobs report shows that the country has made too much progress to turn back to the policies that he says led the nation into an economic crisis.
Obama got much-needed good news today following his disappointing debate performance as the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8%. That’s the lowest it’s been since he took office in 2009.
At a campaign event in suburban Washington, Obama said the report was “a reminder that this country has come too far to turn back now.”
Cheers erupted from the crowd at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., when Obama noted that the jobless rate is now at its lowest level since he became president.
Republican rival Mitt Romney says Obama still hasn’t done enough to create jobs.
