President Barack Obama, accompanied by former President Bill Clinton, campaigned three days before election day in Bristow, VA at Jiffy Lube Live.

"In three days you've got a choice to make. Even if you've made the choice, you got to go talk to some folks who haven't," Obama said. "You've got to tell them it's not just a choice between two candidates or two parties, it's a choice between two different visions for America." 

Obama spoke on the economy, energy, jobs, reducing the deficit and maintaining homeland security, among other topics. 

Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate former governor Tim Kaine was also at the event. Singer Dave Matthews also joined the campaign stop and performed an acoustic set for the crowd.

Obama also held grassroots campaign stops in Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin Saturday.  

The president was scheduled to visit Prince William County last week, but changed his plans due to Hurricane Sandy

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will hold a rally on Monday at 12:45 p.m. at George Mason University in Fairfax City. Details on tickets, parking and what you can bring into the venue are available here

Romney can’t be trusted, as Republican leaders, media and experts agree!

Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican and Sec. of State under President George W. Bush:
“I’m not quite sure which governor Romney we would be getting with respect to foreign policy.”
http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/10/25/1086721/powell-romney-foreign-policy/?mobile=nc

Politifact: 42 percent of Romney’s comments in recent months have been false, much higher than Obama’s comments.

Salt Lake City Tribune, largest daily paper in Republican and Mormon-led Utah: “Romney (is) willing to say anything to get elected.”
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/opinion/55019844-82/romney-obama-state-president.html.csp

Rick Santorum, former Republican Senator: “This is someone (Romney) who doesn’t have a core. He has been on both sides of almost every single issue in the past 10 years. “

FactCheck.org: “Romney distorts facts on Jeep, auto bailout.”

NO, THANK YOU!

I don’t want Romney’s version of change including:

• A severely conservative Supreme Court.

• Tax and jobs plan that doesn’t make mathematical sense as most experts say.

• 1% percent control of the nation,

• Leader who says “corporations are people”, and puts the needs of corporations
before the people.

• Higher taxes for middle class and lower taxes for the rich.

• Medicare taken bankrupt in 2016, as reports indicate,

• Overturn of Roe vs Wade and return women’s rights to the 1950s,

• Leader who condemns 47 percent of Americans.

• Leader with hot temper and controlling demeanor who is eager to start war against Iran.

I’m very pleased to stay with reliable, proven Obama-Biden who are taking America FORWARD - not back to the Bush years!

Obama up in swing states in early voting:

http://news.yahoo.com/obama-seems-early-vote-lead-key-states-204705391--election.html

But I have to wonder what any Romney voters are thinking. Who knows Romney better than anybody? How about the state who actually voted him in before, as Governor. So let's take a moment to look at how the only state who has any working knowledge about how Romney governs, is voting...

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/ma/massachusetts_romney_vs_obama-1804.html

The average of all polls, whether you believe some to be conservative or liberal leaning, still gives Obama a 20+ point lead. So my question is, why aren't more people paying attention to this? You can't shrug it off that it is MA and they always lean this way, because they voted Romney himself in as a Republican. The reality is that Romney can't even get close in this election in the only state that he has governed before, where the people actually know what you get if you vote for Romney. If he was the success that he pretends to be in MA, don't you think that he would be leading in MA or at the very least, have a close race going on there?

Hmm.. JoeBooby, Funny how all those links are from left-leaning websites/publications. The SLC Tribune is an opinion piece (read not fact based reporting). Typical left antics...

I live in Bristow and saw the many, many bus loads pulling into JLL. They all had MD or D.C. plates. My guess is that they were all union and D.C. folks bussed in to make it look like NoVA supports obama. Plain truth is that obama will lose Prince William County and thus VA. There are alomost 10 Romney supporters for each obama supporter in this part of the county. After January our country will finally get on the right track. No more apology tours, no more political payoffs, no more bowing to other heads of state or terrorists. History will show obama to be the worst president ever. The media can only hold him up for so long...
