Crock Hussein Odrama didn't do anything but force this country into a tail spin. Millions of people were hurt by that, and I am pretty sure they will not vote him in.
Just because the media is telling you that no one will vote for anyone other than him, doesn't mean that you have to believe it. You do have something called your own mind, you know. You don't have to think what they tell you to think. Go on, it's okay, you can do it. Baby steps.

Leave the LSD alone ... it will make you see things.

That pathological liar will be lucky to finish the first 4 years without winding up behind bars, and will never be re-elected ..... maybe he can run for president in his home country of Kenya.

And the only people supporting this fraud now should lose the voting rights for life.

Don't be surprised if he wins by a landslide. I'm 80-percent sure this next election will be a runaway victory for the Democrats.

Also, the conservatives can't find anyone who measures up. Mike Huckabee already stated he probably won't run. That man has too many skeletons in his closet, furthermore. The guy is an right-wing evangelical Christian for one thing. Plus, he pardoned a guy who killed several people in Arkansas, and he has a son who was ousted as a Boy Scout leader for torturing puppies. Those alone are wild cards that will disqualify him from the race. Sarah Palin will be lucky if she even makes it to the primary. I'm sure she'll run to massage her Alaska-sized ego, too. Not even John McCain stood a chance playing his veteran card, so I'm positive the same is true about the other Republicans.

Barack Obama's ratings are now higher than that of either Clinton or Reagan around this time frame during their first terms. What you're also forgetting is there are more black voters than ever before. They'll probably pour into the polls more so than they did in 2008. Myriad Hispanic voters are disenchanted with the Republican Party as well. Not to mention recent college graduates like yours truly are disgusted over the way Republicans haven't done a damn thing about unemployment and even wanted to slash benefits for the 99ers. They're the ones that gave tax cuts to big businesses.

I'm hoping when Scott Walker gets recalled which I'm sure he will, our friends in Wisconsin will spark the catalyst towards something big. His being ousted will leave a bad headline for the Republicans and cost many of them their seats. I'm half-expecting the Democrats will regain control of both houses again after this whole debacle Bush got us into. Unless something terrible happens, I see no way he WILL NOT get re-elected end of story.

If that is true, it is the death of the United States. The nation cannot endure, as it is, with a "leader" who has formulated a "plan" to continue federal spending to the point of insolvency. The best hope for a continued US would be secession of many states and the formation of a new United States which does not embrace the notion of spending to the point of oblivion.

Obama is so incompetent that his re-election will literally be the death knell of the nation. Hopefully, the independents will recognize that Obama is an incompetent fool and that the debt that Obama would accumulate would result in anarchy.

I'm 100% sure you are wrong. The American people have now gotten a taste of the true face of the republican party and they don't like what they see. The conservatives are finished in this country.

You don't get out much, do you?

So what do you suggest we do with 75% of our people if in fact they are finished?

I've a feeling that Obama has forced more to go conservative than you realize ..

Now here's a person who is among the most enlightened in this country. So refreshing to read the truth as you express it here amongst the endless stream of GOP nonsense here.

Great post and spot on!
