Reelect able... Not a chance in H%ll..!

That's the truth, ain't it??? They don't want to hear THAT!!!! Please pardon the vernaculars sometimes.

Romney won't make it out of the primary and I voted for him the last time. He won't be able to run against Obamacare for the reason you said and I concur with that assessment. Huckabee won't be able to run on taxes. He raised them too many times in Arkansas to be believable. I don't like him and never did. I think he's a phony with a mean streak. I'm not buying his TV persona. He's not a fiscal conservative, in my opinion. He's just a social conservative. Gingrich is another Obama. We need a do-er, not a thinker. He might be an okay pick for an advisor type position because he's an ideas guy, but that's about it. I would like to see Palin suck the money out of the Democrats by teasing them with her candidacy only to not run after they go broke campaigning against her.

Senators or Representatives who have never run a business or a state or a large city, need not apply.

I'd like to see a governor in there, it's just that my choice doesn't want to run/hasn't emerged as a candidate.

A disclaimer...

I did not write post 122....someone hacked into my post and wrote that...

When people can't win an arguement, they resort to snakeish behavior...and that's what is fueling the 'right' right now...not honor...but underhanded tricks and deciet...as was done to me above....

Again...I did not write that...someone hacked into my post and re wrote it...now I wonder who has that capability on here??

Yes, I believe Obama will have a strong chance at reelection.

Foreign Policy: Overall around the globe Obama is well-liked, well-received, and he gets things done. From the Start Treaty to the withdrawal from Iraq, Obama has set out a schedule and is on track to get it done.

Approval Rating: Honestly, I feel these aren't very accurate. Anyways, that's a separate discussion.

Issues:

Economy - Agree with Stimulus and Bailouts (were necessary). I agree with better regulation (more like Canada). Also, agree that we should push Green Energy and Get off Oil.

Health Care - I'm a supporter of a hybrid public/private like France. I believe the passage of this bill will force us to improve it.

Immigration - Disagree. We need better enforcement. We need to make it so that at least one parent has to be a citizen before a child gains citizenship when born here.

Opponent: As of right now I don't see any strong candidate from the GOP.

Obviously you are one who approves of most everything your hero has done, but you actually question the polls? Are you kidding, if anything they are biased toward him. You want more regulations? wow I totally disagree and so do many independents.

We do agree on the immigration thing, yes, at least one parent but that isn't the case today. Get pregnant, climb over the fense, have baby and from then on the American government will take care of the little guy from birth to death...HELLO!!!

The passage of the bill on health care will force us to improve it? How? We seniors are already seeing increase in all our costs because medicare has been cut. Just wait til you get to be 65, you will be lucky to get anything.

World leaders think he is a joke, he may be liked but they do not respect him. Where are you getting your ideas? What has he gotten done?

So far about the only thing he has done right was to ask for McCrystals resignation.. That was a no brainer!!!!

Will he be re-elected, will he even run again might be a better question..No one knows the answer to this, but I still maintain if the election was today he would get defeated. Of course 2 years is a long time. And I will agree so far the Republicans don't have a solid candidate, but let's wait and see who emerges. It isn't necessary to have one at this stage. A year prior to Obama's election the Democrats had their candidate if you remember. No one was going to touch her::: Well guess what, we all know what happened.

Nita,

First of all, it reflects your level of intelligence when you quickly assume that Barack Obama is my "hero". This is simply untrue, especially considering I am further liberal than him on health care, yet far more conservative on illegal immigration.

Secondly, regulation has its ups and downs. I am a dual US/Canadian citizen and I have seen how the lack of regulation in the US has caused the current situation we are in today, and how regulation has spared the Canadian economy in many ways and is now supporting its growth.

Third, I'm not sure what your trying to say about immigration. I already laid out my views which included the end of "anchor babies".

Fourth, I already said that I want our country to follow France's Universal Health Care System. It is ironic that you are complaining about "cuts in medicare" even though medicare is a single-payer health care system. What happened to being conservative and anti-regulation?

Fifth, your arguments about Obama's foreign policy are seriously flawed. Instead of using force Obama is using diplomacy. America is finally reentering the world stage instead of being arrogant and isolated for the last eight years.

Finally, you state "I maintain if the election was today he would get defeated". Then you go on to state that the GOP has no solid candidate currently. So then, if the election was today who would defeat him again?
