I don't think there are enough backwards thinking hicks to bring Romney in power, but could be wrong....worked 6 months on a project in Missouri and after that I seriously doubt that the americans were able to send men to the moon...maybe it was just a hoax. (: and yes Jack, Obama did look tired, let's see if he is any better next time around, somehow I am sure he will be much better, the Show must go in !

Judging from the first debate, one has to wonder if Obama wants to be President any more. He has made history, he has accomplished things. Does he really want four more years in a very stressful job? Look how much he seems to have aged in just four years.
