Anyone see Peter Hart's VA Focus Group? Obama

Obama needs to bring up women's issues and what might happen if Dipshit gets in.

People are focused on the fact that Obama has not been able to make things happen because he can't work with congress. (they don't know or care that Republicans are on a mission not to work with him).

They think, perhaps that Romney, being a business man, might be better able to negotiate with the other side but, they worry about his social issue stance.

They said that they were really yearning for each side to just lay out exactly what they want to do, 1, 2, 3, and stop the blaming and politics.

Interesting....they thought Michelle and Barack's speeches at the convention were the same stuff as 2008.

Personally, I think Obama can't talk about the next four years, because he is an honest guy, and he knows, he will probably still have a Rep congress who will block everything.

8. Actually I do agree. Pres.Obama can benefit greatly by clearly stating 2nd term goals.

Especially since Romney lacks specifics. It would give him a big advantage.

focus group is worried about, and is aware of...Obama can't move forward because THEY are blocking everything and he can not stop it. I worry about this too....and it makes me sad that we have to settle for ...he is in and it helps prevent the crazies from taking over.
