We seem doomed to keep misunderstanding one another. But this is a special day for me! I met an honest Democrat

Love it, yep, I can't beleive any group of elected officers could care so little for those who elected them. Oh, I know, those same men and women who were elected are looking out for our well being and don't give us credit enough to know what we want. They know better...

Criteria to help you explain why you say this;

- His foreign policy (if any)
- His approval rating (current)
- His belief on certain subjects
- His future opponent (assumption)
- His take on legislation (bills, taxes, etc..)

his chance of winning reelection is less than the vikings winning the super bowl.

if he wants it in 2012, he'd pretty easily win it in 2012.

too much money and too much name power with the office to back him.

with obama you never know though, to him, his presidency climaxed with the passage of health care reform, which will put him in this history books for all time. that is what he wanted to do, and he did it.

he has nothing to really go for anymore, i mean nothing in the sense of a personal cause or a devoted cause.

i will say this, no repub, no mainstream one at least has a shot.

itll have to be a unknown imo.

You conservatives would need someone with a lot of charisma to counter Obama's. Words don't mean **** unless you got the persona to go alongside it.

hussein will never win over the independents that voted for him in 2008, and without them no politician going for president can win if they vote for the other guy.

unless the USA has more acorn doing the polls like they do in several states.

I voted for Obama because I felt he was the lesser of two evils. I was not a huge Obama supporter but I was hopeful that he would be a good president. I am disappointed in the job he has done and might not vote for him again in 2012. It would depend a lot on who is running against him.

And that will be the secret right there. Can he win? of course, but will he, that is another story..For those who think the Republicans have nobody right now, let's see what happens in the next 12 months...For those who think it has to be someone with a lot of chirisma, I would have agreed until recently. Now we are seeing what it can and can not do. I am not sure people aren't about ready to look past the candidate with the personality and looks. He certainly has been a disaster so far.

The HC bill will definitely put the corrupt SOB in the history books, but not in a good way. The HC bill will NEVER happen. Once the Republicans take over both houses, the bill will simply not be funded. It will lay there and gather dust on the shelf, a memory of what happens when the nation elects an incompetent, corrupt liar to lead the nation...
There is simply no help for anyone who still can't see what a total failure he has been in less than two years.. He is trying his best to destroy the country so he can hand it over to his Muslim brothers, but fortunately there are too many good, intelligent people in the country to let him succeed.
Sadly, there are still a few ignorant people on the left who can't see the forest for the trees, but the good people outnumber the fools.....
The people who still support Obama are either those who support his socialist agenda, or the lazy people who are only interested in a handout, some of "Obama's Stash"..!!
Reelect able... Not a chance in H%ll..!
