I can think of 4 words from the President that would win us this and future elections
If the President were to give a speech next week in which he said the following words we would win both houses of the Congress in the upcoming election and easily hold them and the Presidency in 2012. The words are "We will revisit NAFTA". He does not have to call for its repeal or anything else, just say he will open up that can of worms, look at it, and take action that will benefit the US economy.

2. You're probably right.

And how very...... Obama-esque.


He could appoint a commission or something, post-election. To STUDY the problem.

Or maybe send out a survey.

9. Thanks, bllllll checking it now.
Oh, and I prefer the words:

"We want your job to come back from China"

Would instantly ignite a firestorm of support.

5. The corn belt caucus will respond
They are the ones who profited by selling subsidized corn into Mexico and elsewhere.

8. The only four words...
...that would have any impact on the election, either this one or future ones:

"I am resigning immediately"

Then there's no more colored man in the White House and the right goes back to sleep.
Then there's no more corporate-sellout-war-criminal in the White House and the left goes back to sleep.

America's long national nightmare is over. America goes back to sleep.

The most pro-jobs, pro-economic growth thing he did.
