obama and the 2012 election

Obama claims that he will be canceling the 2012 midterm elections. Obama's reasoning behind pulling a move like this is to conserve money. As well as his effort in conserving money, since he knows the economy is desperately needing it, he is also going to be exploring a way to increase jobs. The economy has seen one of its worse economic depressions since the great depression and the number of unemployment has not made a drastic change in decreasing. Obama will use the money that we will save by not doing the 2012 midterm election and using it for transportation and infrastructure projects which calls for workers all at the same time. Is the sudden economic savings and new jobs a tactic of Obama to earn votes in the upcoming election? Personally we all do not know but maybe it will work. Since Americans have been in desperate need for jobs ever since the economic recession, the new bringing of jobs is something Americans will be happy for and even praise Obama for. Maybe Obama does have a greater chance in winning the 2012 election by promising good for the economy; however, we can also see similar promises that Obama made for the 2008 elections and there has not been a reasonable or noticeable change. Maybe Americans will believe in Obama’s attempt in helping the unemployed people that strive to find a job to support and take care of the families. But at the same time, there might be people who realize the things that Obama promised in his last election that he never got around to changing; therefore, Obama’s votes might decrease. In the article, it does seem as though Obama is making an active effort in passing the Effective Order in order to cancel the midterm elections and help the economy. The canceling of the elections means as much as millions of dollars going in to the economy and hopefully he will use the money in ways to help the people in the economy and not abuse it. Republicans are quick to go against this and bad mouth Obama for canceling the elections; therefore, showing that they are not supporters in helping the economy and helping the unemployment rate go down. The people of America now have to choose if they support the democratic side of Obama trying to put money back into the economy or if they agree with republicans and do not want to better the economy. An idea as big as this Effective Order can really affect the populations decisions in the election. If the republicans show their negative energy in Obama canceling the elections for a good reason, to put those million of dollars back in to the economy, then this can encourage a more democratic vote. Personally, I believe that it is a good idea not to spend millions dollars on a midterm election campaign and instead help those whom are struggling. The unemployed and people that are struggling usually go unnoticed, so it is eye-opening to see Obama actually reaching out to help these people find employment.
