“If the economy continues to improve, unemployment goes down and we save face in Libya, Obama will win reelection”
But what if the economy doesn’t ?continue? to improve (I didn’t realize it had)? Unemployment hasn’t gone down and I don’t foresee that it will. It appears we are losing in Libya courtesy of Obama’s indecision and missteps. So, I agree with you – if all that long-shot stuff happens, he might win re-election. However, I wouldn’t be spouting any comments either way until the real campaigning gets underway. For as ‘flawless’ a campaign as he ran in 2008, I think that might be a different story this time around when the public knows the political side of him much better.

“The electorate will ultimately vote their pocketbooks and their best interests; at least the sane ones will.”
How demeaning – those that don’t vote for Obama are automatically insane? Are you serious? If you want people to take you seriously, you need to stop making wild accusatory statements like these. This is your fellow Americans you are calling names and belittling. Just because you support Obama and what I consider to be his failed policy initiatives, doesn’t make you insane – you simply believe differently than I.

“The other tangible or intangible depending, on your point of view is Obama’s charisma and his squeaky clean (scandal proof) image.” Are you kidding me? Charisma? Are you talking about him or his teleprompter? Squeaky clean image? What? Where have you been since his inauguration? Blogo – Emanuel – Holder and the Black Panthers – Olympics – Wikileaks – Inability to make decision on Troop surge in Afghanistan – Gitmo – and the biggest of all is Obamacare which he totally misrepresented and forced Congress to pass without reading it. This is but a small list of his indiscretions. You are either kidding yourself on this aspect of his squeaky clean image or you’ve a very selective memory. His mentality of Elections have consequences only goes one way. He reminds me of a petulant only-child who wants his way all the time, even when he loses. Obamacare; we won so get over it. Tax cuts & Budget – you won but who cares, I still want it my way or else.

“Love him or hate him, he is a fine father, husband, has superior intellect and is a man of unimpeachable integrity who seems to stay above the fray of petty partisan bickering. In the final analysis, people like those qualities in their leaders and trust them.”
I don’t vote for my presidents based on whether he is a good father and husband and his intellect is in SERIOUS question. He cannot speak intelligently without a teleprompter. I don’t really know if this speaks directly to his real ignorance or if he is just one of those that cannot think on his feet. He has a real problem communicating with the public without his notes. And we won’t even go there on the topic of his integrity….suffice it to say, if his lips are moving and especially if he prefaces what he says with “Let me be clear’ – he is lying.

And I don’t trust ANY politician…not just Obama. All politicians lie, no matter what side of the isle they are on. Obama is no different.

“Everyone realizes that President Obama inherited a mess unlike any of his predecessors.”
Whaa – Whaa – Whaa ….poor, poor Obama.
What you seem to forget is that Obama went into this deal with his eyes wide open. The meltdown happened BEFORE he was elected. If he didn’t think he was up to dealing with what he was about to inherit, then he should have stepped down. If you didn’t think he was up to dealing with the mess, then you shouldn’t have voted for him. This is the lamest excuse for his failure to get us out of this economic mess ever. Bush is certainly not my favorite president by any means, but the man stepped up to the plate after 911 (a disaster and mess that he inherited that he didn’t even know he was inheriting from Clinton) – so your whining and pity party on Obama’s behalf doesn’t cut him much slack in my opinion. The blame game will not work this time – trust me. But I’ll bet you he still continues to use it in his 2012 campaign.

I’m not wild about any of the Republican hopefuls at this point – perhaps Trump – but we’ll have to see how the cards play out with him. I couldn’t care less about his ‘birther’ crap – although it has been amusing and I do agree with him. But what I want to know is – with his business sense can he lead us out of this mess that Bush made and Obama has continued to wallow in? That will be the important question for the next President. You better hope and pray it’s not Obama – because I fear America will cease to exist after 4 more years of what we have just been through.

I love to see that a supposed downside to Romney is that polygamy was in his distant roots. Ignorance on behalf of the author, we live in a society today that is worse than polygamy. In today’s society it almost seems like a competition between people to see who can have the most partners! To have this be a downfall for Romney is absurd!

In absolute reality it should be President Obama who is RE ELECTED When one considers what he inherited from the war mongering Bush Regime ( and yes, my spouse is a Veteran with a very realistic concept of what War really is! ) What President Obama has actually been able to accomplish is miraculous under all the circumstances that came with that Office!  When has anything been so dire as the debt that was created by the very Wealthy Bush camp—-  when has America suffered so in a time that it should have been far less!  To me it is absolutely admirable what President Obama has managed to do so well!  No one in the world is not aware of the racism in America It hits the news all the time across the world! What human beings fail to see is that we are ALL human beings born on a Planet hanging out in space.  Many people on this Planet are incredibly poor and suffer untold hardship and illnesses.  It is time to truly get beyond the racial teaching, which are insane, and truly see ourselves as Citizens of ONE WORLD!  Instead directing energy to racism, we need to be, we ought to be, seeking a way to keep this Planet healthy before none of us have a home! Extinction is absolutely possible if we continur to kill the very place where we live with Pollution!
I vote for President Obama!
