Why don't we not elect any more white male Presidents or Senators or Congressmen or Governors? After all, they were screwing up this country long before Obama became President.

clearly you guys WANT another term of obama--if you're banking on voter disappointment with obama as a reason to elect one of these republican "frontrunners" YOU ARE DEAD WRONG.

if republicans had half a brain they'd put huntsman in and kill all talk about these supposed "frontrunners"
He or Johnson are the only Reps I would even consider thinking about voting for, and neither of them has a snowball's chance in Hell. The Republican Party doesn't have a single candidate who, in an electorate with any sort of brains, would have a chance. The only chance the Reps have is to dumb down things as much as possible, and they are experts at doing that.

Circumstances. And the lies Obama told to get elected. Clean up Washington, transparency, bringing people of both parties together.. what a crock... It is just the opposite..

Obama will have no regrets.. the black people will because Obama did nothing for them or the country.
Actually he did, he prevented that insane whacko better know as Palin from getting her money-hungry azz in the White house!

Keyes would not have won anyway, nobody but likes him

Obama has damn good chance of winning in 2012 how is a republican gonna win without the african american latino & senior citizen votes. Republicans have not brought any remotely decent to the table in these debates everything they have said will destroy this country more. Getting rid of social security no more min wage no taxes for the rich or big companys & higher takes for 98% of americans all these ideas are wrong on so many levels. Obamas jobs plan is 25 times better than what the republican can come up with. Give Obama a chance before you call for his head he can not get anything done with congress who has a 12% approval rating it is not his faul he is trying harder than all of congress combined which says a lot

oooooh, Im telling! You can't say such truths in public
His whole Presidency was a setup from the begining. He ran against an old man that the republicans really did not want to endorse and a quarter-wit bimbo. He inherited a mess left by a family of billionaires. The jobless rate was high and climbing, there were two wars in process, and people were already pissed off. Im nnot defending him completely but fair is fair. It would not have mattered who you would have put in there it you would have had the same results or worst

I dunno. But tearing him apart on a "Gee, maybe this or maybe that." It all depends on his feelings. And I can't speculate on someone's feelings.

Here....Politifact lists his broken promises. I don't even have to type out his failures. They've done it for me.

PolitiFact | The Obameter: Campaign Promises that are Promise Broken
I think that you made a valid point. Candidates make promises which I believe (in most cases are sincere) but once they get in and find out that there is reason why things are the way that they are. Then when they cannot change what they promised they are called liars. Sadly it is not completely not always the president's fault, remember he still has to fight the refuticans and dumbazz bluedogs also. I wonder how many of his policies were changed or watered down?

I think the Stimulus is a perfect example of his inexperience. I'm sure hindsight 20/20 will afford him the opportunity to say "Yeah....I completely dropped the ball on that one."
