Will St. Clair, wearing semi-rimless glasses, a plaid buttoned-down shirt, jeans and Adidas sneakers, can usually be found sitting on an exercise ball in the back of President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters, his eyes trained on his computer screen.

Are you one of the folks the rest of us will be paying for ? Bear in mind, Obamacare will be 'subsidize­d' for low income people.. If you are one of those, no wonder you're happy.

Wouldn't it be nice if his weapons for getting re-elected were competency and accomplishment instead of some computer programming geek?

We know your secret weapon Obama... Obama’s plan for re election all along has been to get as many illegals into the country to cast illegal votes as he can get…can’t have anyone on the borders to interfere with the grand scheme!

Obama favorite program …

No weapon, 'secret' or not will get Obama re-elected. All we need to see is his record as president, his obamacare?....his Solyndra?...his stimulus?...his apologizing to the world?...his not so clear past?...his 'religion'?.......... NO WAY !

you actually must be able to read to see his record - most liberals never learned or ignore the facts - sad....

Obama's secret weapon would be Newt Gingrich running against him.

By not voting for the GOP (which favors the wealthy at the expense of everybody else), the middle class should make the GOP disappear like the once powerful Whig Party disappeard in the 19th century.

Obama has collected more cash from Wall St. than any other candidate. "Middle Class" ? I think not.

Listening to the people has not been something Obama & friends have been very good at.
Had he done so he would've spent his first two plus years trying to get jobs going first like he initially promised and THEN worked on getting Obamacare .
Even when the polls and the majority of the country showed how opposed they were to it, and Scott Brown gets elected to negate that process, he finagles his way past that to still pass it. So much for listening. I for one am tired of listening to him promise how spending our hard earned cash is going to make everything better. Did that, done that we still continue to do so with more unemployment extensions [key word being UNEMPLOYMENT], it ain't working.
Like most in government who feel that they know what's better for us than we do--he hears what he wants to hear.

And then there is the repubs who got us into this mess to begin with and want to continue their same crappy, trickle down economics that has never helped jobs or the middle class but enriched the top 1% even more.

I choose Obama and his middle class helping policies everyday over your clown show republicans.

I was also really proud of my country during the Clinton years. The Bush years, not so much.

Let's face it. His secret weapon is the GOP, if they blow up themselves. Unfortunately, President Obama can not run on his record, especially with a horrible economy and 25 million Americans out of work. So the only way for him to win is not run on his record, but to run against someone worse than him. It's a sad state of affairs for the country.

We will always be a step ahead of the rebubbacans. They don't see the innovators of software, green technology, wind energy or internet companies as viable assets. Unless it has something to do with oil, gas or anything that pertains to ruining our planet, they see no benefit in it.

War doesn't exactly enliven the planet and both parties are responsible for it, with both democrats and republicans continuing to fund it and at the behest of a a democratic president. Change is...blood.
