Do you believe President Obama needs a Congress that will work together and get our economy
moving in the right direction? After watching Republican obstruction on nearly every piece of
legislation, it's time we take a stand to have President Obama's back.
There is too much at stake in this Election to only vote for President Obama and skip Congress.
President Obama will need Democrats to regain control of the House in order to move his agenda forward. We've witnessed the blatant stall tactics of House Republicans and the Tea Party when it comes to moving our economy forward. House Republicans have made their intentions loud and clear: to make Barack Obama a one term president. We cannot allow that to happen. Voter must go to the polls to not only reelect President Obama but to vote down the ballot to elect House Democrats to support President Obama in his second term.
If Republicans maintain control of the House, we'll see much of the same political bickering
while Americans families are left to fin for themselves. Congress is obliged to legislate in the
best interest of the public, instead Republicans have been more concerned with scoring partisan
political points. Under this Republican controlled House, we've seen political games at its best.
For the first time in American History, Republicans overwhelmingly voted to bring contempt
charges against one of the President's sitting Cabinet members (Attorney General Eric Holder).
The House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi called the unprecedented vote a "heinous act", and the
New York Times said "The Republicans shamelessly turned what should be a routine matter
into a pointless constitutional confrontation", further proving Republicans obstruction and abuse
of power. This Republican Congress has chosen partisanship allegiance instead of tackling
the challenges for Americans- facing unemployment, record housing foreclosures, and a slow
recovering economy. House Republicans have gone out of their way to obstruct President Obama
at the expense of the economy, the middle class, and American families struggling through tough economic times. It's time for that to end. In order to have President Obama's back, we need to elect more Democrats to the House of Congress. "Have his Back" means just that, reelect
President Obama but make sure you 'have his back' by voting down ballot to send Democrats to
Congress.
Join me in voting Democrat down the ballot to have President Obama's back because:
• Congressional Republicans have one single goal: to make Barack Obama a one term
president. The Republican Leader of the U.S. Senate actually said it publically on TV.
• Republicans and their millionaire and corporate supporters are part of a broken system
in Washington that favors scoring political points over making progress on the economy,
and looking out for millionaires, big oil, and companies that ship jobs overseas instead of
the middle class.
• If President Obama says it, Republicans in Congress oppose it. They don't even read
important legislation that affects our lives before voting on it.
• This election is about who you are for -- and I'm for President Obama and the
Democrats for Congress who have his back. Don't skip Congress!
Ready to get involved? Go to www.HaveHisBack.com and make sure you're supporting
President Obama and Democratic candidates who support him.
Make sure your family, friends, neighbors, and others "Have his Back" by voting Democrat
down the ballot on Election Day.

That's why I'm not voting for him
As much pride as Black women have in this President and what he has done for this country, we are also not disillusioned by what he has not done and what he has been unable to do because of the obstructionist in Congress.
As much as I do and will continue to support this President I can't help but wondering how much he will get done in the next four years if re-elected if the same conditions exist. It is not his fault the Republicans don't want to work with him but as President he is supposed to lead when no one else will and often times he compromises to quickly just in the name of getting it done. What's the purpose of getting it done if it's not right.
It's the same with voting.

Regardless if it is illegal , lawful, evil or rightous.
That said, the Pres. has really left me with a LOT of questions hinging on questioning his motivations. There are so many instances where he didn't need to play pitty pat with the likes of "Congress" in order to make an executive desicion that would better the lives of the public. Yet chose to anyway.
One truly has to wonder if all sides are really as different as we've been led to believe...
While us young legal citizens, who grew up watching our parents jobs be outsourced overseas, now work as baristas with law degrees ; he passes an executive order to give illegal residents - criminals infact by the definition - a priority in regards to job security and education.
0_o ...does that add up?
The Conservative Right, Libertarians, stay at homes moms, the Tea Party and Proud Black Conservatives are now all motivated to throw all Democrats out at any cost...With the President's out of touch stand on the Gay Lesbian issue, a stagnant economy, the high taxes and lies of ObamaCare and the 11% unemployment of minorities you are trumpeting the only thing that the President has given the Black Community, a rap video of "We got your Back"?
You need to go too....
