    After spending over a year lingering around this forum and witnessing the extreme discontent of Republicans, I have to ask, what exactly will your reaction be if Obama is reelected? How will you respond to four more years of a President you disapprove of? What do you believe will become of your nation? In witnessing (hypothetically) an Obama victory, will you be willing to see both parties work together for the nation's common interest?

    If Obama is re-elected I will sit back and watch, as Gas continues to rise and the people that kept him in will still pay it, I will also watch food keep going up, and his supporters wont say a word,,,,,yet!

    Sooner or later they will get the drift, and realize the people making the largest sacrifice will be the middle class. The only way to bring the poor up is to lower the middle class, the rich just does not have enough money to tax. That's alright it's the way Obama has planned it, by tearing down the middle class he feels he will be leveling the playing field.

    To him and many others the only difference between the poor and the middle is money, not true. If it were true than all the money poured into the poor schools would have accomplished something, it didn't,,,it's worse they are still failing miserably, and If education was the key to stopping pregnancies then that failed as well,,correct?

    I will sit and watch as more of his lofty ideas fail and we sink deeper in debt, however unemployment will eventually get better, the private sector will make sure of that. We will add on more trillions in debt, and Obama and company will try their best to get the masses hooked on Government aid,,,it's what they do best.

    Probably have to listen to more whining from the Democrats about how the next 4 years will be the fault of the last 4 years which were all Bush's fault and how the Republicans are blocking everything the Democrats fail to even bring to the floor.

    That and buy more guns and ammo as investments.

    It will be fine. Obama will continue to cause havoc in the country and will make such even a bigger mess that the democrats won't see the inside of the White House for a very long time. Four more years of destruction will show the American people how bad the liberals actually are and this country will turn onto a new path.

    Religion will come back, gays will go back in the closet, and maybe we can get Roe v. Wade overturned. The worst thing to happen would be for Romney to get elected and be stuck with the mess Obama has already made which inevitably will make him take some responsibility for the problems which will allow Hillary to march into office in 2016.

    If Obummer gets re-elected, He wont do ANYTHING! Why would he? It would be his last term, a lame duck President that is not trying to get re-elected, and after all, that is the only reason Obysmal did anything during the 1st disasterous term (gay rights, pandering to illegal aliens, snubbing the jews) All of that was just to get a larger voter base for his re-election. His second term will be to take ALOT more vacations, alot more golf, and alot more "date nights". All the while continuing to blame Bush for his inadequate shortcommings of why he cant get anything done. No...time for someone who wants America to succeed.

    He's not getting elected again. It's going to be a landslide for Mitt.

    Illegal aliens will get amnesty.
    Those with their hands out will make sure no republican ever wins election again.
    And America will become a third world country while other country's like France and Germany will party over our demise.

    That's possible I suppose. Democrats obviously don't want a border nor do they want any limits whatsoever on entitlements so your theory is credible.

    With the fuel market being what it is... how can any "President" control/affect prices?

    Gas prices are a function of the global market which sets them.

    Umm...how about supporting domestic drilling? Couldnt Obama get behind that and maybe declare that we should not be so reliant on foreign oil? Telling OPEC that in the near future we will be buying SIGNIFICANTLY less oil from them because of thier prices? Do you think that might help?

    Um... how about subsidizing wind/solar, exponentially more than we do today?

    Romney WILL surely be more of the same that led us to where we are today. We don't need that as a nation.

    What do you think "energy independent by 2020" means? It doesn't mean wasting our money on proven bad investments like Solyndra.

    Wind and Solar energy isn't technologically advanced enough to be affordable yet. It will take many decades to switch our infrastructure over to that and the cost is far too high at the moment.

    Odds are by the time it actually is feasible to use renewable energy we will have invented something new to replace oil.

    A disclaimer, I'm more Libertarian than Republican...

    I'll be disappointed, but not really surprised. I think Obama has been a bad President, not deserving of a second term. But we elect our leaders (and vote them out), so if Obama does get re-elected, then that's just the way it is. I can only hope his second term is better than his first.

    Disappointed, but he is the President, and thus, he is my President. I'll also be watching the GOP closely to see how they use their power, and how closely they keep their campaign promises. It will largely determine if I vote Democratic in 2016, as I am leaning toward.

    My guess?

    High deficits, maybe under the trillion dollar mark, but not close to pre-recession levels (-$400 billion).
    More debt - perhaps breaking the $20,000,000,000,000 mark.
    Anemic economic growth, sub-3% GDP growth.
    Slow job creation - 80k-200k jobs per month.
    Lots of Americans on food stamps - right now there are 46,000,000 of them. When Obama took office there were "only" 32,000,000.

    Sure. I don't really think they will though. It used to be there'd be the election, then the parties would make the compromises and such. But now there's the political rhetoric, the election, and then more political rhetoric. Rather than working together to solve the problems facing the nations, both parties tend to punt the problems to the next Congress. They don't really get anything done of substance, at least not in a bipartisan manner. Anything of substance has to be rammed through along party lines.

    Amplify the whining, the crying and most importantly, the lying.
    what else can they do?

    You're using facts, the right doesn't know how to deal with facts or truth.

    I've already pulled 80% of my cash surplus from my Banks in preparation of an Obama re-election, but I just left enough to operate my business on and pay bills with.

    2013 is gonna suck if Obama OR Romney wins.

    We won't have to do anything as Obama will have an all Republican controlled congress to deal with.
