It would have been pretty difficult for President Obama to secure another term, given the sentiments against him in some quarters. Luckily for him, however, a good many Americans have outgrown such petty prejudices. That was even why his qualities were recognised in the first instance.
More importantly, the majority of American people appreciate the fact that Obama inherited what seemed like an insurmountable burden. But without any iota of presumptuousness, he has pursued a foreign policy that has doused the hitherto global upsurge of resentment. What is more, considering the state of the American economy when he took over, the extent to which he has fixed it, it will only be ignorant or downright foolhardy to consider Romney a better option. His tax and health policies may hurt the average Republican, but they indicate the panacea for the impending vicissitudes.
The 2012 Presidential Election is fast approaching
The GOP race is now a field of 4 with only Romney, Gingrich, Paul, & Santorum still standing. Who will be the next candidate to exit the race & who will emerge as the eminent GOP nominee?

To the author of the article:
Maybe I have not read the full article…but I am not seeing many facts to support any of the conclusions drawn.
I would like to see some real evidence that “it will only be ignorant or downright foolhardy to consider Romney a better option.”
Also…just a pet peeve…using big words and complex phrases such as “…indicate the panacea for the impending vicissitudes” might sound intelligent to some, but when you are not clear regarding the subject being discussed…I am much less impressed. You use this complicated statement with the subject “his” right after a sentence about Romney…to most people it will seem like you are discussing Romney. It simply does not effectively convey the message you want to send.
Thus: epic fail of an article. Poorly written, all the way around.
Well said-
I like Ron Paul he’s smart.
If you are pro union you have my vote. I don’t care if your Micky mouse .UAW member since 1992.
I agree with the fact that Obama has made the economy worse…. and his so called Health Care Reform has made millions of Americans loose their jobs in anticipation of the cost for insurance companies. Also any President that continues to allow company’s to outsource American jobs to other countries while Americans are lining up the unemployement lines, sucks! Someone needs to stop outsourcing and bring American Jobs back to America. He better loose or we are in a bigger mess than anyone could ever imagine!
the democrats and obama proposed a bill that would bring jobs back from overseas… guess who opposed it… that’s right! bohner and the republican congress. they have drug their heals on every opportunity to help this nation, and americans know it.
More dribble from a socialist fool
Bonnie, who on Earth do you think opened the Flood gates for out soursing jobs? The Republicans!!! Bonnie wake the heck up!
Obama is a socialist and if your in the lower class you will love him because he will offer you a standard of living without work. If your in the upper class you will hate him because he wants all the money you have made to achieve a standard of living for the lower class. It sucks but because to many poor people bitch we get socialists in the government.
Also just so you know were i come from i consider myself part of the upper class and the more money i make the more taxes pummel me.
if you’re genuinely rich then taxes aren’t hurting you because they pay a lower percent of taxes than the middle class. if you make less than 250k then yes, taxes are hurting you, and you’re not rich
Maybe the issue is that someone who considers themselves a member of the upper class is incapable of publishing comments not riddled with misspellings and grammatical errors.
Right misspelling and grammatical error have everything to do with the issue. Anything to divert from an honest conversation
EVERYBODY HAS THEIR O P I N I O NS….U ALL ARE NOT GOING TO GET ANY WHERE BUT PASSING….UR OPINIONS….back and forth!!! GET A LIFE,,,VOTE, HOPEFULLY..WHO U WANT…TO WIN WILL WIN….GESH… DONT U HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH UR TIME THEN DEBATE ABOUT POLITICS…WHEN ONLY….GOD KNOWS WHO WILL WHEN!!! Stop WAISTING UR TIME SHAMMING THE ONE U DONT WONT TO WIN AND MAKE SURE THERES NOOO SHAME TO THE ONE U DO WANT TO WIN…NO MATER THEIR TITLE “president” AT THE END OF THE DAY….THEY ARE HUMAN , MAKES MISTAKES,, GOD FORGIVES THEM SOOOOO MOVE ON! Thanks
Wow….”B”…I read your comment and thought maybe you were being a little harsh, but after reading some of the comments below…I decided, I agree with you and too much time was spent. I am with you on this one.
B, unfortunately your post shows me that you can’t really get involved in a debate because you don’t even know how to use words correctly. I learned the difference between then and than in like 2nd grade. Want and won’t probably around the same time. The idiots voting for “no child left behind” are the real reason we are in this situation. They are trying to dumb down the average person. Pretty soon our society will be just like the one on the movie Idiocracy. Unfortunately for those of us who really care about the United States of America and what it stands for will lose out.
You guys debate about what you want. I love my country and that is what really matters at the end of the day.
God is a fairy tale. Get a clue.
Obama will win by default, there are not enough stupid people to vote in Romney.
Bartts like Bart Simpson? Aye carumba– Don’t drink the Koolaid
Obvious propaganda and wishful thinking here. Obama has made the economy worse….much worse along with his followers stripping our country of it’s moral dignity. Not to mention dividing us to no end. He’s going to lose and you can take it to the bank.
Its completely false that Obama has made the economy worse. Although economic activity is not improving rapidly, it is improving. Stocks have risen, unemployment has fallen a bit, and consumer confidence is rising. Even though the economy is not what we Americans would like it to be, and the economy is the number one concern in this election (as in all elections). We must also look at foreign policy. Obama’s reserve, and diplomatic wisdom has been as good as any. If you have noticed there has been little to no attacks from the Republican presidential hopefuls, because they have nothing to criticize. Foreign policy has always been a card Republicans can pull out of their back pocket and use against the Democrats. Not this year. Obama wins.
drein,
Facts. FACTS! Not unbased opinions.
First, as I mentioned elsewhere on this epic comment section, Obama has accumulated more debt in his first 3 years than all presidents (GW thru GW Bush) COMBINED!
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-has-now-increased-debt-more-all-presidents-george-washington-through-george-hw
Regarding unemployment: Sure, the rate has been dropping as of late, but is still well above what it was when Obama took office. For someone to say it has gotten better, I’ll offer this analogy:
The last time you saw Fred was 4 years ago and he weighed approx 200 pounds. Over the next year and a half (a time frame where you didn’t see him at all), he gained an additional 100 pounds and eventually weighed 300 pounds. However, over the past year and a half, he lost 75 pounds again, which means he now weighs 225 pounds. Well, it so happens that you run into Fred today and see him at his 225 pound weight. He brags that he has lost a lot of weight over the past 18 months but, from your perspective, he is still considerably heavier than he was when you last saw him:
http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2011/12/12/dws_what_do_you_mean_unemployment_has_gone_up_under_obama
Regarding foreign policy, there are 2 reasons why Romney and Gingrich aren’t going for Obama’s jugular:
(1) Because they are too busy going after each other presently;
(2) Romney and Gingrich are a part of the GOP arm of the Establishment (Obama is the Dem arm) which means that they are probably in lock step with him about everything when it comes to foreign policy.
The truth of the matter (again, FACTS) is that Obama is failing miserably when it comes to things that really matter and that have a direct impact on us US citizens. Oh sure, half of the world loves him and kisses his posterior daily (he was even prematurely given a Nobel Peace Prize) so he is internationally popular. But when it comes to Uncle Sam, Obama is like the step-brother who doesn’t care. Here is just one example:
http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/obama-oil-companies-to-blame-for-lack-of-drilling-no-really/
And another:
http://stevenbirnspeaks.wordpress.com/2011/03/22/obama-gives-gulf-oil-drilling-permit-to-brazil-continues-to-deny-american-permits/
And another:
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/03/24/obama_s_unconstitutional_war
The list goes on and on. Stick with facts, not emotionally-based opinions. But of course, for you to do that would mean that you couldn’t possibly vote for Obama with a clear conscience.
Since we do not want to remind America that our president was not given a war budget and frankly, we have taken moneys from millions of seniors’ Social Security benefits and Medical Benefits assistance dollars in the absence of that specific budget allocation, let me enclose data from our historical archives to show that we have received specific funding in the past: $80 million in U.S. Government bonds that were issued in 1790 to refinance Revolutionary War debt. That would be trillions today. At the end of World War II, January 3, 1946, the last proceeds from the Victory War Bond campaign were deposited into the U.S. Treasury. More than 85 million Americans — half the population — purchased bonds totalling $185.7 billion. Those incredible results, due to the mass selling efforts of helping to finance the war, have never since been matched.
Failure to follow environmental safeguards has now caused an 18-mile rift in Antarctic ice. Goodgle NASA’s earth photos. Why should we allow a pipeline on lands being studied for trans-continental high-speed rail? 20 thousand immediate jobs and damage to our environment against millions of jobs, extra revenue from tourism and sales taxes. We can raise the bonds if we remove the “Bigoted Bunch of Obstructionists.”
Hate cannot be disguised. We are what we believe. If we believe that we are some superior race of people on earth, then the rise of the Spanish and Black population will spook us and we will find all sorts of excuses to disguise our hate. If we believe that, as DNA has affirmed, we are all one race of people who started out as brown and black people and like paint, as many former Saxons, Celtics, Visigoths mixed in cold countries we lost our melanin, then we would embrace our outward differences instead of trying so hard to disguise our lies and hatred.
What have been past Republican planks? 1. Family values. 2. War on Terror. 3. Law and Order and 4. Foreign Policy.
We voted Bush and gave him both houses expecting to have “Stem Cell Research killed.” Instead we got a war founded on greed. It cost us trillions and some of us—mainly “the very poor” are paying with our lives, ill-equipped Humvees until this president saw it fit to bomb-proof them and use drones instead of “very poor people” to go behind enemy lines. Is that why we are so mad at him? Was he supposed to let thousands and thousands of very poor sons and daughters die in wildernesses?
During the last election I heard speeches how the then Democratic candidate was a coward who did not have the stomach or war expertise to hunt Bin Laden. When we got Bin Laden the first thing the “Bachmanites” said: “The military deserves credit—not our Commander-in-Chief.”
President Obama is not an undocumented alien. He is American born. He is not a Muslim. I have 10 year-old pictures of him and Billy Graham praying together.
He did not spend trillions of dollars; our wars cost such. Did we give him a separate war budget? Did we raise bonds like we did in 1790 and in 1946 to pay our war debt? No we borrowed the Social Security and Medical Benefits ’monies from millions of seniors and we call him a socialist.
So while many “very poor whites, blacks and Hispanics” go to fight for our country, a privileged few are designated “shareholders” in shadow companies, pay less taxes and do not even want to repay the war debt. Now we want to deport the Hispanics because they are not just picking our oranges anymore? Obama is making them judges—wow! He is creating a revolution—wow! He and his children will not baby-sit for us anymore—wow! Pharaoh felt the same anger when the Israelites left Egypt. Bigotry wrapped in red, white and blue is still bigotry.
As a former insider I can tell you that Colin Powell was way ahead of Bill Clinton in the polls. Threatening calls were made to his wife and family. When Herman Cain ran ahead of Romney, a lady was not ashamed to come on television and say she was his mistress. Hundreds more were willing to do so.
I will tell you two little secrets:
1 We were all black or brown people at one time in our distant past. DNA has proved it.
2. We are all children of immigrants—except if your real name is Hiawatha or Sitting Bull.
In the 1st Psalm it is written:
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Liars are ungodly; unmerciful are ungodly, bigots are ungodly.
I wonder why Michelle Bachman came last and President Obama is still standing after so much hate? Santorum next; then Gingrich and then finally the insensitive “don’t care-about the poor” Romney once more! Romney will get a double-portion. He is a serial flip-flopping immigrant-insensitive and “very poor-insensitive” liar. No amount of moneyed advertisements or smiles will allow you to use us.
How can you actually say the economy is improving? You may want to start reading.

As far as foreign policy, our foreign affairs could not be any worse.
Iran is close to getting their nuclear weapons and there are talks of war between Iran and Israel.
We were allies with Egypt until Obama encouraged Arab Spring and the Egyptions to revolt, now the Muslim Brotherhood took over which jepordizes the Egypt/Israel Peace Treaty. This reminds me of when Carter screwed everything up with Iran and they took American hostages. Now Egypt has 40+ hostages, 16 of the hostages are Americans!
Israel is not too fond of our President after the May meeting where our President insulted Netanyahu and Obama got a lecture from him. We have the weakest relationship with Israel now then ever before.
I am convinsed that he stays in the office 8 more years, all of our lives are in danger.
War on Libya – Now not sure who will become their leader.
whether we like it or not i can promise you Obama will win, so shut up and get over it.
It’s sad but true. Many people don’t realize the devastating increase in debt that has accumulated since Obama’s election as president. Even if he says he’s determined to save the economy, it’s just an empty promise with no substantial actions to back it up–taxes have, in fact, increased as everyone is aware.
How can taking money from us, give us more…? The economy is dependent on consumers. No money in the pockets of consumers means no booming economy. Where is Ronald Reagan when we need him?
i believe you.we need to pray for our leaders for God to guild them. I know president Obama mean’t well for american people and the world in general, what he needs is God grace to put a square peg in a square hole and a round peg in a round hole.so lets give him more 4 years and pray for him dudes.
pray he dont even like god wat is wrong with u all
@Alex looks like you don’t either spelling it with a small g. How do you know that have you heard him say it, no just going off of some of the racist statements made about him. Please if you don’t want to follow God’s command don’t prevent others.
xw1211,
Since when is faith a racist issue?
xw1211,
God? No no, obama is a devout muslim, the correct term is Allah. God is worshiped by jews and christians, and last I heard christians don’t worship/pray/or confess their own faith to God in a private manner. A little irrelevant i know, but any follower of “God” aka christian, would not build a mosque over the sacred foundations of the 9/11 twin towers. The man is destroying our country, and all we can say is our vote counted. wake up america, we need God back in the picture and not Allah.
am from africa, sorry guys, am not saying this b’se am an african but b’se i have seen most americans are blind and i thought u were wise but no wonder most of you like burgers b’se thats the best can spent your time on, than trying to dig out the truth, honesly obama needs more 4yrs to lay a foundation or try to set things straight then after that you can blame him. and another problem with u americans is that you like an eye for an eye, you always want to make trouble but dont believe in forgiveness before you make trouble else where, no wonder you like the word ‘ass’, b’se that’s where your mind is, always
If you give obama four more years, I guarantee that America will be forever changed. Look at what he’s done already, and you suppose he needs more time to get his bearings? It’s ignorant Americans like you (idk if you even are) that are ruining this country. I’m sorry that I’m coming off pretty harsh, but I don’t take back any of it. Nevertheless, when a 19 year old knows his country better than most middle aged people that’s pretty sad. But that’s what you get when most people have their heads half up their butt.
It was said that Obama will be remembered as the worst president in history. I wonder why and by who other than those who hate a Black president, but if they check facts it will show George W as the worst president in the history of this nation: notice I did not say great because it has lost the founding principles built on God. Somebody said they are against distribution of wealth because they have wealth which mean they do not believe in giving to the have not. There are many people in poor situation not because they chose to be but life imperfection put them in that position. Throughout life the so call powers that be have always devised a plan to keep those that they considers not worthy down. (1) brought in drugs (2) split families (3) continue to put out lies and hatred among the masses. But through it all if we who believe in the power of God , Who is and always will be in control of everything and protect all that are His have no worries. I work hard every day to provide through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, food and shelter for my family and as long as He gives me the strength I will do just that. Instead tearing the President down we should do as scripture tells us to pray for our leaders to be guided by God. What is destroying this country is not President Obama but GREED and SELFISHNESS.
Yes. We do need God’s guidance to obliterate the greed and selfishness. But in that case, we also need a leader that can lead by God’s will. Take Abraham Lincoln, for example.
When one reads Lincoln’s presidential speeches, filled with his pleas to the American people to seek God’s aid, and demonstrative of his own dependence on God’s mercy and guidance, it is easy to see why he was strong enough to piece together a warring nation.
So, no, Obama is not fit for America.

Oh I have nothing against Blacks, Mexicans, Canadians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus you name it. I am just another creation in God’s image, born a sinner and bound to the dirt six feet below. You believe what you believe, and that will get you by just fine until judgement day. I don’t judge a human by their color, but by their principles, morals, and actions. And my the president of the United States feels as tho he cannot reveal those simple questions, because their somewhat invasive, I mean how did you become president? I guess when obama applied at Walmart he didn’t want to show his birth certificate either, for only people who are judged by their skin are asked to give background documentation. Get my point MAE? And this is just the tip of the ice berg, shoot I could go all day. Do America a favor and stop drinking that pitcher of obama cool-aide, dr. pepper has a much more refreshing taste with its additional 22 flavors. Godspeed
Exactly. However I am afraid he will get re-elected b/c most Americans are just ignorant. I don’t hate him b/c he is black I hate him b/c his policies have done nothing but make our country worse. People like to put the blame on Bush for the state of economy when in reality it had nothing to do with his policies. However Obama and his policies have done nothing except put our country’s economy further into the deep end. Obama and his “stimulus” plan have done nothing to help actually create jobs or stimulate the economy. They are temporary solutions to problems that will continue if they are solve like that. Our country needs a major overhaul in its approach to #1 taxes. It is ridiculous that people who have paid no taxes our of their paycheck get a refund yet some people who pay extra taxes (claiming 0 deductions on tax returns) actually end up paying even more in (though not wealthy at all). Our country was built on capitalism and a FREE MARKET and that is what we need to go back to. And no more free hand outs. I am sick of working just to give my money (taxes) back to people who aren’t willing to work or who aren’t willing to work as hard. Reallocation of wealth is bullshit b/c the majority of people who do not pay taxes are not working and living off the gov’t on purpose b/c they make more money that way than they would at an actual job. But I am sick of paying for people like that. Fair Tax is the way to go. I know that probably won’t happen for a while but until then we need to get the dumbass democrats out of office. They are quickly moving toward socialism. I am not for the redistribution of wealth. You work and you get what you worked for nothing more, nothing less.
Exactly. Was meant to comment on Anonymous.
and first sentence ‘worse’ was meant to say “better”. I changed the wording and forgot to change that
This last century it has become obvious that our civilization is in a long-term crisis and the greatest part of society affected by the so-called ‘democracy’-bug, including all the disgusting details attached to it. The broad-spectrum public seems resigned, while only now and then aroused by reality TV advertising and modern technology. We appear continuously to descend farther out into a bitter, unsociable perplexing sea of devastations, and concernedly writing where the mood drives me, I point the finger at the changes that; while realizing we can not do much about it, are finding place in our world. Ever since the Second World War, and particularly from the 1960 onwards we; prone to accept opinions of leading characters of our time; for the first time in history are saturated by what we perceive on television, radio and the internet. Near to naive of the real lack of knowledge presented to us, cleverly manipulating minds create what we see and hear. Finding them at first on the level, we subsequently are more often than not disappointed, even incensed, when what when all is said and done materializes, shows us a different picture of them. Uncovering hidden gist we find lies not in what they tell us, but in what they withheld, and no matter who is elected it looks as that the Rothschilds and Rockefellers and their already in place cronies, are at the helm. And here we find that no matter who will be the next President, he ‘or she’ will be guided by them.
I just feel like America is going downhill in general. Obama has a lot of great ideas and ‘spits a great game’ so to speak but if he is not backed by Congress then none of those ideas ever have hope of seeing the light of day. I know he has made some improvements but there needs to be a lot more. However, I feel as though he needs more time. Four years as president after Bush (and let’s face it people, Bush really did a number to us. Whether you want to believe it or not.) is more like 2 days. If that makes sense. All I know is we need to start uniting as a country if we want anyhope of making life better for us and the future generations. I’m tired of everybody trying to destruct each other just for the satisfaction of it or being viewed as being “right”. i feel it is impossible to ever have a perfect governement and a perfect country but c’mon we used to be pretty good. I would just like to see the basic american dream be restored. Work hard and earn a comfortable living situation. That’s the beauty of a middle class which has sadly been shrinking. Wow, this comment was all over the place and I do aplogize if it was confusing. I would just like to see this country grow to it’s pontential. Whoever needs to be in office to do so, I don’t really care.
I love President Obama—-He has a record that is great considering those Republicans want him to fail even if its bad for our country—They are the bad guys—–all the lies about him–its all pretend–he is what he says he is—-The First lady is doing all she can for our country too—-So all you mean Republicans put that in your pipe an smoke it–Here at my house we are hoping for Obama landslide an I get to see the bad guys turn purple with their rage
^ Tell me, what made the USA a powerful, successful, and peaceful country from our independence to say 2005?

Why should we leave you “Yankees” alone? Ever heard of Globalisation?
Your decisions considering the elections will have a huge impact on the politics and, even more, the economy of Europe. Additionally, stating yourself, you seem to accept that the economical situation nowadays is, lets say, critical. Therefore, I can’t see quite a reason not to interfere.
Best Regards.
Edit: This was directed towards Erik the Red.
Yes, I have heard of globali(z)ation, and that is even more of a reason why you should pray for an Obama loss.
I’m looking forward to see the reactions of the anti-Obama camp, upon his reelection.
He still has another year of watching the economy stall and his stimulus do absolutely nothing. You’re drunk if you think he will get reelected. He will get all the black votes, because he’s is half black. But a huge majority of people that voted for him last election, realize they made a mistake. Even if he he gets another 4 years, he won’t do anything, just like the past 3 years. He will be gone soon enough, and be remembered as one of the worst presidents ever. And you will have voted for him twice. Good call.
Exactly. However I am afraid he will get re-elected b/c most Americans are just ignorant. I don’t hate him b/c he is black I hate him b/c his policies have done nothing but make our country worse. People like to put the blame on Bush for the state of economy when in reality it had nothing to do with his policies. However Obama and his policies have done nothing except put our country’s economy further into the deep end. Obama and his “stimulus” plan have done nothing to help actually create jobs or stimulate the economy. They are temporary solutions to problems that will continue if they are solve like that. Our country needs a major overhaul in its approach to #1 taxes. It is ridiculous that people who have paid no taxes our of their paycheck get a refund yet some people who pay extra taxes (claiming 0 deductions on tax returns) actually end up paying even more in (though not wealthy at all). Our country was built on capitalism and a FREE MARKET and that is what we need to go back to. And no more free hand outs. I am sick of working just to give my money (taxes) back to people who aren’t willing to work or who aren’t willing to work as hard. Reallocation of wealth is bullshit b/c the majority of people who do not pay taxes are not working and living off the gov’t on purpose b/c they make more money that way than they would at an actual job. But I am sick of paying for people like that. Fair Tax is the way to go. I know that probably won’t happen for a while but until then we need to get the dumbass democrats out of office. They are quickly moving toward socialism. I am not for the redistribution of wealth. You work and you get what you worked for nothing more, nothing less.
Listen dum-dum—I am white an all my white friends are voting for Obama—we really do live in the start of color blind world–That must be Gods plan–I don,t prefer blacks, or whites or whatever–just prefer guts an brains
Why is everyone on Obama’s back. What happen to congress who is doing, and have done everything in their power to destroy him. Repubulicans! Republicans! The society of the rich. No mercy for the middle class and the poor. Wake up America; smell the cofee and vote for a democratic society where the rich will help the poor instead of the poor making the rich richer.
Br – you’ve really shown me how stupid some americans these days really are haha. Do you really think every middle and upper classed citizen was born into money, and were destined to make thousands upon end. FYI, I am living proof that mind of thought is just STUPID. It’s called get off your lazy ass, and take some initiative in life. STOP blaming our society for your failures and do what TRUE prideful Americans used to and get off your butt and make something happen! D.A. aka dumbass
I agree
There are s0me real assholes in this country who think republicans care about their welfare it is only for the good ol boys network and poor whites are in the same boat as poor blacks , and whites are the majority on welfare and food stamps. The majority of blacks work for a living for little or nothing we do not want a handout, but a handup.
you guys must be morons if you want another republican to win you racist white collared elite assholes none of this affects you because your already comfortable living in a upper class home with ipads for the whole family. Sadly not everyone is a privileged as you. Republicans just make the rich get richer & the poor get poorer & that’s what you want. Yes Obama would take money from the wealthy but for a reason to GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT. it makes no sense to make more tax deductions from hard working american’s who have to support their family single mothers fathers, brothers & sisters. & less deductions on people that are worth over a 250k. Problem is you guys think you can find a quick fix to this country but there is no such thing. In the last 4 years obama has achieved a lot & handled many disasters we had much better never the less look what he came into office with all of that shit on his plate i would say he did a pretty damn good job. Now lets take a look at the last republican president we have, single handily destroyed everything to make it short & simple. yet we gave him 8 years. Now i must say if we gave that asshole 8 years & decide not give this honest hard working man who was the next great thing next to the kennedys then there seriously is no hope for america. Things take time people, thats the problem with this country everyone just wants a quick fix to everything thats why 1/3 americans are fat & lazy with all this useless technology such as ipads & do everything at home, you cant even have a decent conversation with friends without google hangout…. what is the world coming to? Those people from the movie Wall-e thats what.
“…this honest hard working man who was the next great thing next to the kennedys…”
You are totally delusional.
Not that comparing one to the Kennedys is something to boast about anyway.
You’re delusional, ignorant, envious and a rascist. Please get educated. Go out and work hard and maybe you can have an iPad too! That’s a huge problem with the country. People like you just get mad because others are more successful. Work harder friend. And please, whatever you do, don’t have any children. Thanks.
I am an average person. I do not understand how Obama can can be reelected. He has Not done anything for the people. He promissed and did not deliver. If he were a business manager, he would have been fired due to the fact that under him business was failing. Yes, these republicans are far from being perfect, but one of them must be given an opportunity to show what he can do. We already know what obama can do(???). I voted for Obama, but he lied to me and to the rest such as myself. Please give someone else a chance or we will all loose….
alex, you are a moron . sorry to say, that’s why you can compare a president and manager b’se you dont know what it means to be president , how much would be on your table, you are also like these people who cast dirty words towards God b’se they have not been patient for what he could do for them but all they can do is blame, blame, blame,,,,,,,and you are blind jst admit it, b’se the way pres obama found the economy that is 3trilions already spent in iraq by bush’s government and of course not forgetting the global hatred, you would not be saying that. and to remind you, america is there to stay and the world as a whole. And please know no man can provide solutions for this world, even jesus who is God people persecuted him. please analyse your self, and put in a president’s shoes and see how much you could have done to help america then am sure you would not be a victim to hear says.
jjb,
Why don’t we take emotions off the table for a moment and stick with facts.
Regardless of how bad Bush was – and I agree he was bad – there was more debt mounted during Obama’s first two and a half years than all of the other presidencies since George Washington COMBINED!
That is quite an accomplishment. And when I last checked, it isn’t a good accomplishment.
Bush had his shot and he blew it. But with that said, I am getting so weary of people blaming Bush for Obama’s mistakes. Bush didn’t cause the additional debt in the past 3 years. Bush hasn’t been president for 3 years now yet there are still stupid people who don’t hold our current president accountable for anything. It is his turn now and he is not doing a good job. Plain and simple. A person can do him an injustice by introducing the race card, they can try to smoke screen it by giving all the blame to the former presidency. But the fact of the matter is that Obama is not getting the job done. And I am stating that based on his own accomplishments (or lack thereof) and not the so-called slop he had to clean up when entering office.
Erik the Red – thank you. And jjb, fyi obama has brought us to around 14 trillion in debt lol (11 trillion more than what he began with
. The one thing obama needed to do in order to rise this country from its recent turmoil, the ONE thing would’ve been to restore our nations foundations back to Christ. However that would’ve been extremely hard seeing as though he’s a muslim. Please take some time and take a second look at obama’s REAL profile and not his media profile, and see if you can see a president who is capable of reconstructing a falling nation with many lost citizens.
Finally someone who feels like I do.
I’m not an asshole.
unemployment has raised rapidly? just last year , just last year it got over the mark where it hasnt been in years …..yeah thats pretty rapid , i like how you say a burden , such a burden that killed thousands of american lives …. on are turf! that what you call burden oh wait im so sorry it was on tv for 2 or 3 days and you missed your show Alf , oh and wait you want to talk about before 9/11 if you drive you may not be old enough , umm you would see , our gas prices es are as low as they are because of that war , weather you want to accept that or not, they would have been up to 15.00 a gal if that wouldnt have happened
Republicans + Money + North Kerora = Money for them and the rich not us No WWIII
Well, honestly I am a foreigner, from a 3rd world muslim country on top of that. Just been seeing a lot of hype about the whole U.S election over the news, so I checked out what its all about and also what the candidates stand and policies are. Now, I will not comment on their economic policies, because obviously I don’t have a clue what’s the real situation in the U.S is. I would comment though on the foreign policies and the only person who really makes sense is Ron Paul. If you just stay out of other people’s country and let people from other nations do whatever they wanna do with their country and practice their own ideology, be it communism or whatever, then they won’t come and attack you. You go into others countries, trying to govern them, telling them what to do and how they should be, and you expect them to just obey and shut up? Get real!
All the other candidates seem to have pro war policies in my opinion, including obama (he says he’s against it, but you know he is for it!). See, its simple, you Americans can either continue to be deluded and think that you can govern the whole world, going through the process of going to war with most of the world without the war ever truly ending or alternatively you can chose to mind your own business, and we will mind our own business and everyone can live peacefully in their own comfortable bubble. You do whatever nonsense you wish to do in your backyard and i’ll do whatever I wish in mine. Simple!
I think you should study your united states history of President like we the most famous of them all the bush family.If you did now they make bombs that’s when the republican assholes that tell us that the line of shit how they are going to change the world their vision of changing the world is to go start shit in other countries so the rich man can get richer and the poor wait for that country to come over and change the world for good.
Wow, learn how to write. You are the reason people think Americans are dumb. I agree with Tim. RON PAUL 2012!
You can say that again – what a pile of total claptrap and ghastly writing. Moron. Idiot. Thanks for commenting on that pile of trash. Someone send that dumb ass back to school.
Isolationism is not the answer. The United States cannot close is boarders and wait for the inevitable. (Whatever that may be)There are four stages of civilization, and to revert back to previous models of closing ones boarders would only hurt future progress. There is a need to be proactive in our global community to further our pursuit, as a planet, to survive.
(http://bigthink.com/ideas/26650 )
Watch this movie, and learn what I am talking about.
So I guess what I am trying to say is:
A lot of this, simply, doesn’t matter.
You are deluded if you think America should adopted laissez-faire foreign policy. Ron Paul is correct about many things, however allowing a country to disregard it’s people, for the sake of their dictator remaining in power, is completely wrong. As a leader, you are bequeathed the responsibility to protect all your people. Unfortunately, at present, many Islamic and African fundamentalist states are killing innocent for the sake of their religious or political beliefs. These rulers have said themselves they do not want to ‘leave us alone,’ they want to destroy freedom. While it is difficult to begin explaining the complexity of foreign diplomacy, and I do not agree with civilian casualty from invasion of any country; I suggest you perhaps take a look at your own country, and consider what may happen, in the past and present, should a fundamentalist reign and wage war thus create further innocent suffering.
Ww as a people should be ashamed at how we point fingers now! I don’t even know what these republicans are planning to do but try and beat Obama! In my opinion and through my own studies Obama has done a good job running the country! Read the article they have on him in Newsweek, it’s very informational and it shows you how well Obama has done as president! Obama 2012!
We typo sorry!
Ricky,
Newsweek?
You have GOT to be kidding! Newsweek is simply another arm of the Establishment. You can bank on the fact that anything they say will be to support their cause. To write up an unfavorable article on Obama would be like eating their own.
Newsweek gets paid alot of money to print whatever ….. if i had the money id show you by having them print Obama Sucks right on the front page …. but i dont have that money so i cant ……the newspaper is the same way , so are magazines , get your info some where else , than come back with real knowledge
From every poll, and approval rating percentage I looked at, he will not win popular vote. Honestly I cant stand the guy, he always makes himself look like an ass (lol pun intended) apologizing to other nations for our existence and turning us into a welfare state. Not to mention his 2012 campaign strategy “BLAME BUSH”, which because of the high level of uneducated folk in the country seems to be working a little. still very sad.

Guys, REALLY?????
Let’s face facts and not twist it with fancy words or pseudo intellectual rhetoric. The bottom line STILL stands. He is way better, let me say that again WAY BETTER option than Rhomney or Gengrich.
I completely agree, which is why Obama has my vote again in 2012.
You people are stupid and close minded there is no hope for you….:/
We will see? Republicans have destroyed this country and blaming Obama for it, and now you want to elect one of these Jokers as president, this country was raped by Bush and his gang once not anymore.
the only electable candidate they have is Ron Paul, and Republican hate him, and dont hesitate tho say that, because he is not protecting the interest of the 1% . get it?
Fay,
I am a member of the choir to whom you preach about Bush. But even IF SOME Republicans are blaming Obama, please don’t make the mistake of thinking Obama is squeaky clean.
He ain’t.
He has a boatload of suspicious past and present folly and the media has worked overtime covering it up.
Suspicious past? Wow. You probably don’t believe he was born in Hawaii. I can account for all the great things he’s done in his life. The media has done nothing but say negative things about him. They’ve covered up the hundreds of great laws that have personally helped YOU out.
anyone who votes for obama in 2012 or ever is going to hell.
Sorry, but Obama has done NOTHING to help me out!
Sorry, that was a typo.
Obama, of course.
Some of the images that support this article have been sized atrociously. Get your picture sizing facts straight first.
No hope in hell Obaba will do a second term. He was never really president anyway, because what is one, as a president?
Nothing but a marionette.
This, he knows now.
Marionette…So true!!
Obama inherited an economy that was in free fall. Almost all the jobs lost in the Obama administration was in the first few months of his presidency when he succeeded George Bush which obviously you cannot hold him accountable for. It takes a significant amount of time for his policies to take effect. Ever since 2010, there has been steady job growth although I’ll agree the pace is not enough to completely turn around the economy before the 2012 election. But realistically speaking, it would take 5 to 7 years for the economy to recover from that downward spiral in 2008.
See the chart below -
http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-07/politics/30485008_1_unemployment-rate-obama-election-day
OMFG really? Obama inherited! Obama inherited! Bull-fucking-shit. Cry me a river! He had 4 years to try to fix this shit and instead added to the problem. This is ALL Obama baby! I don’t give a shit! Don’t even try to spin this. IT IS OBAMA’S FAULT!
I agree he could have done better. But he’s not added to the problem. Take a look at the chart – http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-07/politics/30485008_1_unemployment-rate-obama-election-day
Let’s call a spade, a spade. I would give Obama a ‘B’ on his presidency. There’s a lot he did that I liked and then a lot I didn’t like. I might vote either republican or democrat in November, I can’t tell yet. But all this talk about Obama having destroyed the economy is ridiculous!
Oh Johnny Boy, get over yourself! Obama has done a better job than Bush or any other Bi-Polar Republican. President Obama will be re-elected, I mean look at the GOP Circus that is going on right now. The rest of the World is watching and they all are ROFL at how screwed up the Republicans are and what they have done to our Country. The idiot Republicans could give a *amn about our Country yet alone our economy! They are only in it for themselves, and that is the last thing this Country needs right now! So, don’t give me this Republican BS!
I agree Cyrus. I believe he’ll be re=elected. Not only do the Republicans continue to blame him for the eight years of Bush policies that destroyed our economy, they have been determined to make him a one term president since day one of his presidency..With a Congress which has been nothing but combative, this President has handled himself with dignity and decorum, and has done a superb job dealing with the issues of terrorism that the Republicans have been so concerned about..yet, he has received no credit for this from the other party. In fact, he was criticized by some for taking down Bin Ladin, while other Republicans had the audacity to give credit to Bush! This President will serve a second term. He is bright enough to realize that correcting the damage inflicted upon us by the past administration requires strategic planning..and time..I believe he will continue on the path of pulling this country out of the depths of despair and will accomplish many great things. The clueless commenter who feels that Obama should have had everything cleaned up in “four years”…(he’s been in office for THREE..not FOUR) doesn’t consider the eight years of reckless decisions that put us where we are.
im sorry i have to disagree , Obama will not win 2012 , if ur that stupid to think he is for this country you cant be more wrong … listen to what he is preaching everyone should be equal thats the most communism statement iv heard from any president … do you really think its ok , for a doctor who has gone through who knows how many years in school to make the same as a nurse who went through maybe 1 year of school or even a CNA who has had 3 months of school should make the same as a doctor , come now im broke as hell im on disability and even i can see where this country will end up with him in office , come on whats next he is going to change the presidential so he can stay in term longer ….. Obama is one of the most hated presidents in america his ratings are lower than Bush ….. another thing , STOP BLAMING BUSH! for OBAMA’S mistake , he had is 4 years , now it will take 50 years to clean up his mess , but go ahead vote for the ass , for every votes he gets there will be 4 more that vote against him , im not going to sit here and say America dont need help , it does, but it dont need obama , on a lighty note , if he does win , it wont be because of what he has done its because america has no one to vote for , as far as this blog goes no i dont think america has forgotten anything obama has done …. nor will they ever , i just hope that we can move past this and become the America we are not the America obama wishes he had
it takes much more than four years to fix such a messed up economy, clearly ur a dumb ass
hahahah your funny johnny you gotta think about it
it took bush 8 years to screw are!!! country up
what makes you think it can be fixed in 4 dumm a**
read a book!!!!!!
it doesnt matter what kind of person we get as a president
its going to take at least 10 years to get back to what it was
correction its not going to get that good in are life time agian if we get lucky maby are kids will get to enjoy the old american dream someday!!!!
4 years isn’t shit Johnny boy. What are 10.
It takes years it get thing done.
Johnny, you are an idiot….
This article is just another Obama Suckass with his head in the sand. No way in hell Obama will win this election. The person who wrote this article is just as out of touch with reality as Obama and the Liberals have been since they took control. Which is EXACTLY why they are being replaced. I am not worried in the least about this election. Despite this article and the other crap out there, don’t worry Obama is not going to win re-election *LMFAO*
still a stupid idiot..
what makes him stupid , because he has a different opinion than you …. thats not a reason , grow up , the only one that is all the stupid is you for believing everything you hear , what i find funny is that none of you , not a single one of you were saying no lets not go to war on 9/11 so get a life , Bush made his share of mistakes but when he turns around and fights for the people that died that day , you turn your fucking back on him and make him look like shit …. you know its crazy it really is , Bushes main supporters are the families and loved ones of those lost on 9/11 quit blaming someone else for Obama shit , it might take 10 years to fix what Bush did but its going to take 50 to fix Obama and Bush had 8 years Obama had 4 so who is the fucked up one!!!
Dont be too sure. There are plenty of people out there who will be more than willing to ignorantly destroy this nation.
My opinion is that Obama won’t win. After all the damage he has done, it will be hard for him to make it backup. AND HE WONT!
I SAY DON’T I MEAN DO NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA!
~Axle
you guys must not read much cause if you did you would know that obama has all the 99%ers behind him and that he has already got his second term in the bag.
last repost i watched on tv said he has ummm 47% of the voters ….. i have never seen a report anywhere that said he has 99% of the votes , and if that were true you wouldnt have so many ppl on here against him …. strange !
good point!
In no way has Obama helped the economy, he has made everything worse. If you want America to be another European welfare state, then you are sick and you can get yourself someplace that shares your sentiments. One Big @$$ Mistake America.
If you believe that the president solely influences the economy, then here it a chart displaying the economic recovery (http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-07/politics/30485008_1_unemployment-rate-obama-election-day).
But in reality, congress likely has more influence. Investors and wealthy corporations also have a strong hand in the economy.
Also, five of the top ten economies in the world are located in that “European welfare state”. One Big @$$ mistake Bill.

Are you serious?
OBAMA WILL LOSE.
No, he won’t lose. He’s going to serve a second term.
I love your straight-forwardness.
Des,
By your writing style and spelling of certain words, you are undoubtedly a foreigner – quite possibly a Brit. As a result, it is virtually impossible to take your opinion about our American presidency seriously, not to mention the percentage of fallacies compared to the number of typed words:
(1) To which “petty prejudices” are you referring? If you are bringing up the race thing again, it’s an old (and never relevant) argument that has run out of steam. Don’t forget that blacks are still in the minority in this country which means that there were an awful lot of caucasians who voted for him in 2008, not to mention that, when I last checked, he is half white;
(2) “….the majority of American people appreciate the fact that Obama inherited what seemed like an insurmountable burden.” A burden that he has not relieved;
(3) If he has doused any global upsurge of resentment, it’s not because he kept his promise to bring the troops home. On the contrary, he has increased the troops and has kept that proverbial hornet’s nest buzzing. Oh sure, there were some foreigners who liked the change of scenery and who were actually duped by his whole promise-of-change campaign rhetoric (as a matter of fact, so much so in some circles that he was prematurely awarded the Nobel Prize before he even had a chance to accomplish anything). But it just comes down to the fact that he isn’t Bush, as opposed to having the qualifications needed to accomplish his promises. That is considering if he had even intended to do such. But the fact of the matter is that there are still civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan who are getting trounced every day and, when I last checked, Obama has been president for over 3 years now;
(4) “….the extent to which he has fixed it.” Hmm, I am guessing you aren’t subscribed to any investment magazines or American financial journals but, instead, perhaps sit glued to your telly watching the all-reliable (corrupt Establishment outlet) BBC News to get your American info? Unemployment, for example, rose rapidly and significantly AFTER Obama took office and is still very high. Even by his own admission (among his absurd claims of success and presidential equality with Lincoln, FDR, and LBJ (not sure why comparing oneself to LBJ is a good thing, but I digress)), when it comes to the state of the US economy, his administration has “a long way to go” (see Dec 60 Minutes interview);
(5) Regarding Romney, you have to go no further than my latest article (posted just before yours) to see that I agree, but not likely for the same reasons. Mitt would not be a better choice simply because he is basically an Obama twin when it comes to much of his policy. Ironically, I actually mention in that article a news panel of Europeans in 2004 who pushed for a Kerry presidency because he came across as “more presidential” than Bush.
Why don’t you focus on things that more directly affect and are deemed more important to the typical European, like who Prince Harry was caught dancing with last night. Leave us Yankees alone.
erik the red, your the man.
Another idiot
If you’re going to say something, then back it up. Erik the Red does so very nicely.Thank you, erik!
