I fear that if President Obama continues to fail to lead on the national debt and deficits, his reelection is still at risk, because there is a good chance he will lose the critical fiscal-conservative, independent swing voters who will decide the election.

I don't think so. The deficit is not that much of a problem as it is being made out to be. The budget of a country like the US is not the same a house budget. It is very misleading to do so almost to the point of misleading with a purpose in mind. The world still trusts the dollar and the ability of this country to turn things around. While other countries continue to hold their faith in this country's abilities to recover, it is indeed laughable that there are American citizens who have lost their faith in their country to do so.

There is a deficit of will to unite as one to uplift this country not a budget deficit. I say so after having visited this country by visiting other countries several times during the past year and listening and talking to folks there.
