Re-Elect Obama?

I don't have a vote but I do think that if you think that you have it bad now just wait until you have a Republican back in the White House - especially if it were one named Palin. Obama is a great disappointment although I think that it true of most politicians of whatever party. He inherited a mess and doesn't seem to have been firm enough in dealing with it. The truth is that his destractors would never have accepted him. What his presidency has highlighted is just how polarised the US is between those that feel that there should be more of a general socialised (NOT Socialist) economy and those that want to keep the US a nation mainly centered on self-indulgence at the cost of others about whom they care less. Actually I think that he might get back. Interesting to see what happens.

I voted for him the first time, and will vote for him again next year (unless Ron Paul get's his head out of his a$$ and leaves the GOP). I am a middle income American and the policies of the GOP do not help me personally, nor do they help this country. Funny how the only thing that republicans run on is taxes, and ending regulations, when low taxes, and lack of regulations caused our problems today.

iam not American but i think it is kind of interesting how people who though Obama was the best thing next to sliced bread 4 years ago, don't seem to be too keen on hime now.

Didn't vote for him last time and won't this time. I'll vote for anyone who isn't him even if it means having to hold my nose when I cast my vote. I don't care who it is-I just want obama out of the White House.

I didn't vote for him in 2008 and certainly would not vote to re-elect him. I knew he believed in redistribution of wealth, I paid attention during the campaign and saw trouble ahead--but never thought we'd be in this much trouble. He repeats the same things over and over, just changing the words around, and even his "new" proposals are recycled old ideas, ideas that haven't worked in the past 3 years and won't work in the future. Mr. Obama has succeeded in ruining an economy that was on the road to failure and it will take us years, if not decades, to recover. But mostly I blame Congress, which has the power to put his ideas into practice but doesn't have the stones to give voice to the people they have been hired to represent.

i would so not vote for obama. This is the first year i can vote and i can not wait for my vote to help kick that arrogant incompetent man out of office.

I voted for him in the primaries, but not in the general election as I had begun to loose faith in him prior to the actual election. I honestly don't know who I will vote for this go round. I certainly don't want Perry....we have had enough of him in Texas, lol! I don't like Romney any better...he has a tendency to flip flop on issues too much to suit me. Actually, out of the GOP field I think I like Cain and possibly Huntsman the best, but I doubt that either of them will gain the nomination. I guess I will just keep following the news and the primary season, see who wins the nomination and then just have to wait and see what comes out in the actual campaign. Until then I just don't know which way to cast a vote. One thing is for sure though, I will vote. It would be nice not to have to vote for the lesser of two evils again though.

Despite all his pointless pandering to the right (which, as you will probably see here, served him no purpose seeing as they'll still accuse him of being a pinko), I do think he'd be a much better candidate than anything the Republicans are offering. They can criticize his economic policies all they want, but I seriously doubt their ideas will do much to provoke economic growth.

I most certainly will vote for Obama again. If Alan Grayson or Bernie Sanders ran, I would vote for them because the wouldn't waffle and constantly cave to the right wing. Nader is an excellent option as well, but this year, it is coming down to the two party ticket. The worst that can happen would be for Romney or Paul to win the GOP primary, because they would have a better chance against Obama, because the others are completely psychotic/borderline evil. We could have seen MAJOR progress from Obama, but because he is such a great leader, we have merely remained stagnant. We could have regressed big-time with all the unreasoned opposition Obama has faced. He has managed to keep us afloat, maintaining the mess he inherited. If only the republicans and blue dog dems would have worked with him, instead of against him, we would have pulled out of the gutter. Right now, the best idea we have before us is Obama's jobs act. The party, who swore their number one cause was jobs, is now fighting against the jobs act. BECAUSE - it would repeal oil subsidies. The right wing party, who hates government involvement, and subsidies, has always gained most from subsidies. The hypocrisy is nauseating, but the worst is that you can't reason with their mindless supporters. I will be voting for Obama, because I support his progressive ideas, not his waffling all the time. It will be a big f-you to the party of no, who will actually have to answer for themselves as to why they did no work for the previous 4 years.

I guess my question is to answer your question, why are there 8 republicans running for President and not one Democrat has come forward to run against the big "O"?

No as I suspected he didn't have enough experience to handle the job. I know his heart was probably in the right place but I think he should have waited to run.

yup!!! a gud thought
