According to a recent Gallup poll, 62 percent of Americans say they would amend the Constitution to replace the Electoral College with a popular vote system when electing presidents. Continue
On Saturday (Oct. 29), President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and her mother Marian Robinson invited local elementary school students as well as children from the Boys and Girls Club of America and children from military families to a special Halloween party at the White House.
On Tuesday, President Barack Obama made his fourth appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno during his trip out West. The president discussed last week’s death of Libyan head of state Muammar Gaddafi and how televising it is “not something that I think we should relish” as well as the accomplishments in Iraq following the recent announcement that the troops would be home before the end of the year.
Despite his approval ratings hitting a new low of 41 percent, Pres. Obama says it’s to be expected 
right now:
You know, look, we have gone through the worst financial crisis, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. People are hurting out there, and they’ve been hurting out there for a while. And people were having a tough time even before the crisis. You know, incomes, wages, we are all flat. Costs of everything from college to health care to gas to food, all of it was going up, and so people were feeling a lot of pressure even before this crisis. And so I — every day I wake up saying to myself, “Look, you can’t expect folks to feel satisfied right now”.
With the 2012 presidential election just over a year away, President Barack Obama should be focusing his efforts on his re-election campaign. However, the president is instead concentrating on getting the American Jobs Act passed, which he unveiled to Congress in September, and has hit the road to stress that “we can’t wait for an increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job”.
On Monday, Pres. Obama traveled to Las Vegas to kick off his new effort to convince Congress, namely Republicans, to put country before party and pass the Jobs Act. He also did a bit of campaigning before heading to Los Angeles later in the day, where, on Tuesday, he’ll make his fourth appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
