Reports reveal rising foreclosures, gas prices and high unemployment are damaging U.S. President Barack Obama's reelection bid, as he is being blamed for the terrible financial state of the nation. Challenger Mitt Romney is faring better in the polls, due to his business background, which has made him the frontrunner in the election for the Republican nomination and presidency.

Obama's struggle with the economy and the visible ongoing financial deterioration is diminishing his bid for a second term. The economy is at another crucial juncture and the nation does not have four more years to give away to economic losses and undue financial hardships. The sense of urgency is sorely missing in the government.
