And it tells me all I need to know about the GOP.

So what type of further policy failure would it take to NOT VOTE for Obama?

20% unemployment?
debt at $25 trillion?
$4 trillion in annual deficits?
anarchy on the streets?
lack of job for yourself?
additional wars?
additional major scandals?
I'm smart enough to realize that Obama didn't cause these problems. The problems were primarily caused by Republicans who gave huge tax cuts to the rich and started two wars without paying for them. Why would I vote for the people who ran the country into the ditch in the first place? And their candidates only ideas are to do the same thing again?

The Republicans have been nothing but obstructionist from the day Obama took office. Their goal is to keep the economy down and unemployment high, then blame it on Obama and hope enough Americans are dumb enough to fall for it and vote Republican. If Obama didn't need to deal with Republicans, the original stimulus would have been larger, and health care reform would have been closer to what's actually needed. Our economy would be much further along and healthier if not for all the Republican obstructionism! So Obama gets my vote again

I guess that you could, but if you want a real feel how the public looks at at him the urban dictionary. I think that he is the only conservative that has a definition of his name

Come hell, or high water I don't think I could vote for this GOP, because I think most of them are crazy, or at the very least irrational.
So to answer your question, short of becoming a GOPer,there is nothing Obama could do that would get me to vote Republican, but there are things Republicans could do.

I forgot something about Newt. He wants to do away with child labor laws.
Yep, he envisions an America with 9-year-old janitors, dishwashers, unskilled laborers - working for peanuts. A nice overhaul of the labor movement.

No. I supported and support Obama for a lot of things he promised and worked at. There are a few things I disagree with him on, but I also understand his point of view, as I try to for others as well.

Interesting that you don't make an argument against his original point that the GOP has put up laughable candidates. Probably because you know it's true.

BTW....Dig up Teddy Roosevelt and breathe some life into him, put him up as the Republican nominee, and i promise to help physically escort Barack Obama out of the WH myself.

Until you guys can do that...fuggetaboutit.
