In President Obama's second term I am hoping that he steamrolls right over the GOP and puts the pedal to the metal in dragging America head first into the 21st century.
He didn't do it his first term. So, what makes you think he will do it now? All I hear from the left is that obama's failures are because the Republicans wouldn't let him do what he wants. But, the Dems had the majority in Congress for 2 years. If that truly is the case that it is all the Republicans fault that obama has failed so horribly, then either he is a terrible and ineffective leader that is the only president in history that cannot get both parties to cooperate for the good of the country, or his policies that he has passed and the ideas that even the Dems vote against are worthless strategies for helping America succeed. Which one is it?

The fact that you are following me around this forum to comment on my posts means that you are afraid (and know) that I am right.
The mantra of the Obama presidency being a failure is all a part of the GOP attempt to undermine. They have been calling his presidency a "failure" even before he stepped one foot into the Oval Office. And the last time that a Republican held the office, GWB, he pushed America to the edge of the abyss. The GOP is hoping that the nation has a short memory on how well they run the country (ie taking the nation from a surplus to a deficit due to a vendetta war in Iraq)
I am happy with the job that President Obama has done, among other things, to keep America from falling off the cliff, pushing to get health insurance for most Americans and making renewable energy a priority. The only people who see those things as 'failures' are the short sighted who long to pull America back into the 1950s.

Following you around. That is funny. Yeah, I'm your groupy. What on Earth am I afraid of? That is just odd, but whatever.
But, I will be happy to leave you alone since you don't want to answer my question. You can only beam with pride for your president. I do find it strange that you and other obamalovers say that obama has done a great job one minute and then say that it is the Republicans fault because he hasn't done a better job.
I don't see his failures as failures because I'm a Republican, because I am not one. I don't see them as failures because I'm short sighted, because I'm not. I have seen Presidents that have dealt with much worse, do much more in four years. I do not see his failures because I long to be in the 1950s. I have never seen the 1950's except in movies and do not even understand what you mean by that. I see his failures because I am not blinded by some obama fascination. He made promises....he didn't deliver on them.....he is making the same promises. And I'm not buying them this time. The best indication of future behavior is past behavior. Which to me, is more broken promises. Especially because he will not have to worry about campaigning for the next term. Scarey.

Really ..... and exactly what do you know about Communism????????
From your remark about as much as McCarthy or even less.
Obama is no where near Communist..... STOP watching FOX...... it can be brain numbing
I'm kidding, you are welcome to read my past comments on this site.

Didn't do what in his first term?
Obama got us out of the biggest financial mess we have been in since the great depression.
He did something that many Presidents have attempted but failed..... reformed health care.
He saved our Auto Industry.
He made paying women less than a male doing the same job illegal and got rid of the stupid time limit to take your boss to court.
He has turned the Economy around.
He has stopped the HUGE job losses and gained jobs virtually every month.
He has stemmed the huge foreclosures.
He has ended the War in Iraq
He has killed Bin Laden and many of the Top terrorists.
He has revived Wall Street
He has now got talks started with Iran to stop their nuclear threat.
He has cut taxes on small businesses
He has improved health care for our Vets.
He has set a strict deadline to get out of Iraq
He has pushed programmes to help people keep their houses.
He has given work permits to children born here from illegal parents so that they can use their American skills and Education here.
He has stopped Lobbyists getting free access to the Whitehouse
He has increased oil production here.
He has used the World to fight revolutions NOT just rush in alone to war.
There are more things the President has done in his first term....... Pretty good for 4 years and this is with complete blockade of bills by the Republican party.

Over the past four years, debt has more than doubled, unemployment has skyrocketed and is only coming down gradually, and that is only because of fudging the numbers, we get nothing but dishonesty and cover-ups concerning national security (where is this transparency you promised us Obama?), and the only real achievement is this healthcare law that has made everybody's premiums go up.
Tell me, how will Obama's second term be any different from the first?
Watch him at other times. Nice to have a smart man in charge.
