What states will decide the election?

Right now people want to believe that the election will be decided by 8 or 10 states.  The Romney campaign is doing its best to expand the number of states that Obama will have to play in.  For instance, the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Indiana all went for Obama last time and this time Romney is putting a little time and money in these states to make Obama expand the number of states he must defend.   Can Romney win any of them?  If he does it is game over for the President.  It looks like the President is running a Western strategy but that only works if he carries the states in the East that he carried last time.  The Presidential election is a chess like game with 50 different state elections.  Right now Romney has made an aggressive move.  Obama countered with a move on immigration that only works if he carries the East.  It will be a real interesting election season.  Make sure you have lots of Beer and popcorn!

Obama and the Stimulus

The Stimulus that Obama passed three years ago still bothers me.   As almost everyone knows the Stimulus was one of the biggest amounts of money ever passed on stimulus ever.  As almost everyone knows what we need according to the Association of Civil Engineers is that kind of money spent on bridges, dams, and roads.  The Stimulus was a once in a generation chance to get that kind of money and use it for real significant needs.  Instead more than half the stimulus went for phony shovel ready jobs that do not amount to much.  Now the Democrats want to work on the infrastructure but the money is gone.  This is another reason that Obama should not be reelected.  The time he had the money he did not use it for the most important needs and now we still need to fix those bridges, dams, and roads and the money is gone!
