    Obama is going to be another one and done politician.

    Everyone has seen he is incompetent and basically lived off of his 'pity card' to win the election, making people feel good about themselves for 'changing the world' by voting for a black guy to be prez.

    The guy is a good politician because he fooled enough of you, but I am not sure if that is because he is a good politician or because people are easily fooled/stupid. Probably the latter.


    He's a ty leader though, and I am ashamed.

    One and done. BOOK IT!

    OBSESSED MUCH?

    what pity card are you talking about? what black president? we have a a half-white president...

    at least wait for the legislation he approves to show an affect to judge the guy.

    on what basis are you calling him a ty leader? what actions has he taken, besides bowing, to prove to you that he is not leading this country back towards the right path?

    honestly, i was a clinton supporter during the primaries, he won the nom, and in effect took inherited a lot of her platform, i.e. universal health care, maintaining afganistan while leaving iraq, things that i supported. so in nov, when faced with two real choices, i took the better of the two choices. if anyone was going for a pity vote, it was mccain, "i was a pow, i could have left, i stayed, god bless america, you s owe me the presidency", and i couldn't have supported him, then mccain picked palin and further threw my support to obama.

    so far the only things i have not like obama are:
    -he started off the health care debate as a compromise, anyone with basic selling skills knows to start off with outrageous demands in your favor and the compromise will end up being exactly what you had planned to begin with. so while i applaud the effort to reach out across the aisle, it ended up mudding the bill too much and making it an uphill battle. but this can also be pinned on pelosi and reid.

    - kept some of the bush era surveillance techniques

    that's pretty much it for now, time will be the judge about what else he's doing.

    but what has he done that angered you so much?

    The repugs need to stay away from Palin. I'm certainly not saying she is stupid but the dems did a number on her that can't be fixed. Them picking her would be stupid. Other than that I really don't think it matters.

    so MH are you trying to say that its only a personality attack? that you care nothing of policy just as long as he doesn't appear as a weak individual? or is there a actual policy or political action of his that you do not like?

    when you have romney and huckabee fighting just to get 3 seconds of playtime on cable news you know you are in trouble. at least palin has hardcore followers but by the same token just as many people despise her

    If they don't pass this stupid heath care bill and the economy gets better, Obama is probably a lock for a 2nd term.

    Jindal seems like the Republicans' only hope. If he delivers more speeches like that disastrous response to Obama's first speech, he doesn't have a chance though. That came off as total cornball crap and Americans want charisma, not intelligence. For example, see how Gore got the 2000 nomination by bull ting and telling stories over Bill Bradley who actually had ideas and answered questions head-on, or how Ross Perot was ignored when he talked about how NAFTA and trade with China would screw our economy because... he had big ears and a Southern accent.

    Palin is in no way electable because everyone but the far right sees through her. Romney would be a horrible choice because I cannot see this country voting in a Mormon. Either would essentially be a punt by the Republican party.

    In order to appease the war-crowd, Obama has had to extend the Iraq and Afghanistan occupations... but you just know he's biting at the bit to bring the troops home...perhaps in his second term....the GOP is its own worst enemy..the Limbaugh/Hannity crowd thinks it has pull with the GOP because Steele has been bowing at the throne of talk-radio lately, thus assuring that moderate candidate, who might have a chance against Obama, are cast under the bus for a good Christian, gun and American candidate like Sarah Palin or Huckabee....

    I completely agree, but if you think she's crazy, Mic e Bachman is even crazier...

    I forgot about Huckabee. No way Americans are going to vote for a guy pushing a hugely regressive tax when they're working shorter hours for less money in the case that they're lucky enough to have work.

    In what sense?

    I agree with the OP that he could be out of office after the first term if the Republicans get their act together (by basically presenting a decent candidate).
    That person would need to lean more towards the center than the right to be electable though, IMO.

    You're right, it's not locked up, but the odds are way in his favor. In order for Obama to lose in 2012 the economy would still have to be in the ter and the republicans would have to have found a candidate with a far broader appeal than just to angry white guys. I don't give very good odds to both of those things happening.
