Might as well run him again. I am independent, and did not vote for him, and nor will I in 2012, but he is probably their best chance since he is already in the White House.
Biggest problem is , anyone who is truely qualified for the position is worth millions in the private sector.
We have people who spend millions to get a job that pays what is it $440,000? Then we scratch our heads and wonder why we end up with one idiot after another.
It's not just about the money -- it used to be prestigious to be the president as well. But looking at the current applicants, and the applicants in the last election and the two before that, and you have to wonder -- do all of the truly qualified people stay home? Is this the best America has?
No , they dont stay home. They run corperations for $6 million a yr.
Again, I think some people are more motivated by power than money, so it's not about paying the president more... but yeah, with the state of the world today, why would anyone want to be president when they can be where the real action is -- dictating to nations what their laws are going to be as the head of a multinational corporation? Being the president of the U.S. is small potatoes when you can run an investment bank or oil company.
Both parties are corrupt. Power, Control, and Money is both parties. The whole government needs to be gutted. New elections for everyone. Two 2 year term limits for all elected officials except the president you keep the same. It's a start.
No. Obama is fine where he's at. And it's one month until Iowa. Had there been a Democratic challenger to Obama, one would have emerged months ago during the summer.
And also note: all the people who will vote "Run Another Democrat" in this poll are not Democrats at all, but Republicans and teabaggers who are frustrated that their own GOP choices are nothing but clowns, loons, and lying flip-floppers.
On the other hand....yesterday's WSJ ran an op-ed by Doug Shoen and Pat Caddell (Democrat pollsters) urging Obama not to run for re-election either because he can't win or because, even if he wins, will be unable to govern. They want him to leave the field to Hillary.
