I also don't understand how anyone can expect Obama to fix in a yrs time what took eight yrs to happen. Real change, the kind that has lasting beneficial impact, takes time. If nothing is done in four yrs, I will vote accordingly, but I can't believe ppl would freak out because the economy(amongst many many other issues) hasn't completely turned around since Obama took office. Bush and company destroyed us with wonton spending, Clinton had us in the black, and now we are bleeding red due to the former admin. handling of our economy. As I said before, it took eight yrs to get in this mess, please give Obama a chance and a reasonable time frame to right these wrongs. Less than a yr is NOT a reasonable amt. of time to rectify eight yrs worth of trouble.

I'd tell all my Republican friends, "I told you so."

Oh believe me, even though I'm a liberal I've talked to quite a few conservatives & libertarians w/in that past couple months & none of them, NONE of them expect a miracle like the people on this forum do. It makes me wonder where these people on this forum live, never never land? LOL, I guess they can't deal w/reality...it's all scary & change happens ya know!

I'd be happy, although he is too centrist for me. I think it's funny that conservatives would think of fleeing to another country if he was re-elected. Where would you go?! Seriously? Iran? Afghanistan? Somalia? Most other countries would have policies far more "leftist" (lmao) than the US would under Obama until 2016.

I'd support him as I have every other President. I can disagree with him but I have absolutely no ill wishes for him. I think that he's a good man and I'd like to shake his hand even though we part ways on many issues.

Not thinking about it yet.

Need to see how he does the first time around. Yeah, believe it or not, this lib'ral isn't going to sing praises or condemn him until he gets a couple more years under his belt. Which is exactly what I did with GWB. People who behave as if they can prejudge 4 years in 10 months have a screw (or two) loose, and a VERY obvious agenda. You'd think by now they'd have found some self-respect and stop being intellectually dishonest about the "reasons" they hate Obama, because they MUST realize that the *** is up by now, but naw, they have too much invested. What a wretched existence.

He never got reelected. Diebold helped him steal Ohio. In the first election the Florida republican party stole that state.

Contribute more money to the opposition parties in senate and congressional races, provided I still have the money to contribute.
