The POTUS can't fix anything. He's too busy campaigning and hob-nobbing with Hollywood Liberals instead of sitting in the White House and being a leader (which he has no concept of)

Regarding Jeff Harrington's five "fixes":
1. Jobs-quantity vs. quality - What % of the unemployed have skills that would help them to qualify for quality jobs? What is a "quality" job? The jobs in manufacturing that created the middle class are now in other countries. Manufacturing jobs that are created in the U.S. now will largely be automated, requiring a greater skill level.

2. Energy policy - not unique to Florida. The U.S. has all the resources it needs to be energy independent. Why aren't we? Follow the money and power.

3. Safety net - why is it the responsibility of the federal government to ensure that my health care and eventual retirement needs are covered by the tax payers?

4. Florida's property insurance market. Again-why would this be the President's concern to "fix"? Shouldn't this be a state issue. Those of us that choose to live in high risk areas should be addressing this with our insurers and state regulators.

5. International trade. As long as Americans prefer to buy cheaper goods that are manufactured outside of the U.S. rather than support "quality" American jobs, the imbalance will remain.

I am voting for Romney and Paul because they are NOT socialists and they believe in America, God, Life, small government, work, and the American Dream. I am not willing to sign my name in support of the two who believe the opposite. Please wake up fellow Americans and vote to Save America from their plan to change it. FYI The motto has changed to yet another one of Karl Mark, Communist's slogans, to FORWARD. I pray for Americans to wake up and love America.

Even the execrable David Brooks of the NYT couldn't avoid noticing the inelegance of Mitt's Boca Raton formulation. Basically he sees himself as the president of a company. Workers will be rewarded. Those too old, or young, or infirm, or receiving Veterans' Benefits for service to their country are moochers and layabeds who will be thrown under the nearest bus to promote more a efficient Consumer State.

Screeds and paranoia are no substitute for rational assessment of a candidates position and actions. To believe either candidate will save or destroy the "American Dream" looks to all the world like a fallacy based on sheer ignorance or bigotry (vs black, white, rich, poor, educated, liberal, conservative or whatever).

You need to wake up and smell the politics - if you blindly believe either side you are a fool - and if you spout their canned rhetoric without backing it up with a rational argument you are a sap as well as a fool.

BoozN. No I am not in that income percentage which Obama and Romney and all politicians are. But I am intelligent. Income doesnt matter at all when it comes intelligence.But on the subject of income, are you aware that the Obamas are in that top 10% of income? What matters to me is that we remain a Christian Nation. Do you recall one of Obama's first statements to his Arab comrads was that "America is no longer a Christian Nation:. Please research. Please read and please learn before you vote to give away our country to the Arabs. Do you know how Obama reduced our military, reduced our missles, do you know why? He wants us to be equal to the Arab nations in power. Why? Do you know why?

My lunch hour is over and I must get back to work. I work hard and not in the 10% that Obama and Mitt are in. I do not see evidence that Obama used his wealth to create jobs, but Mitt has created dozens of companies that I shop in: Staples, Walmart, come to mind today as that is where I am headed after work. Have a great day. Let's stop silly rhetoric, friends. And like Plutarc says, anyone who spouts rhetoric is silly indeed.

Wow, Christian nation? The one founded on freedom from the tyranny of religion whose founders were primarily Deists? Even Jefferson rewrote the Bible, many were members of the Rosy Cross.... The UK and Canada (and some others) felt the need to include religion into the structure of their gov't- we specifically chose not to. Forcing a religion upon any people, be it muslim, christian, hindu <insert religion here> is nothing but trouble. Heck, christians can't even believe in a common religion or you wouldn't have so many different branches. Good grief.

Chronic weak economy and rampant unemployment are the disease, whether you like them or not, Romney/ Ryan is the cure.

No, No, No...I had been out of work 6 of the 8 years of the Bush Admin...I was working for a defense contractor. Bush cut or put on hold 70% of our contracts and many were let go...18 months into Obama's term I am back to work for another defense contractor and getting more calls...Why do I want to go back to "Soup Line Design"...
Keith wake up and stop listening to Rush...I mean yea, he's good for a laugh or two...

Every voter needs to read this excellent article... Very well worth your time...

Quit drinking the Kool Aid, BoozN... If you found a new job, you're one of the very few, lucky ones... Lets see what happens after Sequestration... Bye bye job, baby... And Obama lied about that during the debate... Just one of many lies... He already signed Sequestration into law - and then claims it won't happen... What an idiot!! He had Axlerod doing backflips in the spin room after that debate...

Between the shot economy, 23 million out of work or underworked, the price of everything up, wages down, and the Benghazi tragedy/disgrace/coverup, there is no way Obama has earned a second term...

Wherever Romney goes, he LIES, like he did at this Hurricane Sandy "relief event" in Dayton, Ohio this week.

Romney's campaign bought $5K in food donations and tried to make it look like they were the attendees' donations!

What's even more ridiculous, the Red Cross and Salvation Army, the two biggest relief organizations -- DO NOT ACCEPT FOOD DONATIONS! Duh!

If he can't even honestly run a local relief event, how could Romney begin to run a country?

Obviously Ann Coulter, you subscribe to Rush...What a shame.

I saw Obama yesterday claiming the new job numbers are proof that his policies are working and that we are in an economic recovery... Fact is, that is not the truth, or even close to the truth...
First, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9% and the year-to-date monthly average of 157,000 payroll jobs is barely enough to keep up with population growth -- much less make up for the 8 million jobs lost during the Great Recession.
Second, the so-called real unemployment rate (U6) remains elevated at 14.6%, albeit down from 14.7% the prior month. Similarly, the labor participation rate is at 63.8%, up from its multi-decade low but still incredibly weak.
Third, average hourly earnings fell a penny in October and average hours worked fell to 34.4 from 34.5 in September.
Stagnant wages means "we're not generating income," Reinhart says. "That's a problem in terms of the durability of an economic expansion, which is usually fueled by consumption. To get consumption you've got to generate income."
Also, just look at your checkbook. We are paying a lot more for everything now than we did in 2008. The price of gas has doubled. At the same time, wages have gone down, and that's if you're lucky to have a job.
In 2008, 25 banks went out of business. In 2012, 48 banks have gone out of business. Almost double the amount. Does that sound like recovery to you? Don't believe the Obama lies!!
