So, Obama lost the debate with Romney.
But American unemployment rate has gone down to record level since 2008 and Obama boasts of it and begs for a second chance to finish what he started.
Republicans smell a rat - were the numbers rigged?
Guys, it is fascinating to see how American elections resemble European ones.

It is a troublesome quality, but without it, would anyone step forth to take on the impossibly difficult task of leading a country??? There has to be some degree of greed for power even in the best of candidates! (This is why I hate politics!) |
