Seed NewsvineIt isn't surprising for people to speculate that Obama will win if the unemployment holds steady or drops again by August 2012. Statistically and historically they are correct. The problem, though, is there are more people no longer counted as unemployed even though they are unemployed still and this makes matters difficult. If these people reenter the workforce process, even if they are still unemployed, the unemployment rate will go up. The problem here is that big business and financial people made a gamble that backfired and they still have not been held accountable for this. There fiasco is what has caused the downfall in the real estate market and the spending slow down that has plagued this recession. While they may say that the recession was officially over in 2009, people like myself know otherwise. I have been struggling with unemployment and underemployment since 2009 and this is a problem that every other middle to lower class American has been dealing with. Part time work removes one from the unemployment numbers but part time work won't feed your family nor make a mortgage payment. At the moment, GOP has been a party of 'no' and has not produced any concrete results other than to stifle any improvement in employment. Obama and the Democrats have not been as communicative as they could have been, that is until recently, and the American public doesn't know the details of the plans they have been proposing. All we here is what GOP wants us to hear and the Democrats are not smart enough to figure out that if you do not communicate with the people then the people will consider what they are hearing to be the truth, even if it is not. The only good news is that there has been headway made in opening up the voting process to third parties that are neither GOP or Democrat and that is the one bright side to all of this.
