Thre will come a day when you will weep for the vote you made in electing this tyrant-in-training - weep like a little girl.
I have no idea why you brought up race. Interesting insight into your worldview, though.

I understand that you hold a radical ideology rooted in one side always being right and the other always being wrong, but I've lived under President Obama for over two years now and am very, very happy with the results. So many successes and more on the way. Being a slightly left-of-center pragmatist, I think he will only grow stronger with a split house. Too much power in either party is bad for too long. A very wise man, indeed.

He will certainly have my vote in 2012 barring any major shift in policy, vision, continued economic recovery, or leadership.

YOu have to be kidding? Obama did nothing to solve these issues in the middle east. We are watching Egypt now unfold and potentially turn into another Iran. Obama was clearly clueless and the Saudis told him to stay the heck out of it. We will see how long this peace lasts with the military in control.

Does "a much better direction" mean 9+% unemployment?

I'll take the 52 Months of Economic growth and full employment over THIS direction!!!

Funny that you mention the will of the majority of the people THEN, but ignore the will of the majority of the people when it comes to Health Care.

Egypt
Healthcare
Nuclear weapons treaty
Saved the world economy from the brink
Repeal of DADT
Getting us out Iraq - Afghanistan
Started financial reforms of the federal gov't
Tax cuts for the middle

I like his chances in 2012
You can't be serious. I am not talking about his chances in 2012, it is way too early for that, I am talking about his bringing democracy to the mid east.

Will you BLAME him if the muslim brotherhood takes over and attacks Israel?

Will you BLAME him when the "economic recovery" fails?

Praising someone has a downside as well.

Egypt is the face of democracy in the ME...not Iraq which is a failure and a 3 trillion dollar and counting failed experiment....I'm laughing at all of you because history will show that his speech was the unraveling just like his election was the unraveling of neo conservatism...

And boy oh boy, didn't we see that come to fruition in 2010.

Thanks to obama, conservatism is on the rise and taking over across the land.
