    Personally, I think Obama is the biggest mistake this country has seen in the Oval Office. Jimmy Carter should feel a sigh of relief. I certainly do not want to see Obama at the helm of this country for another four years, but I have serious doubts as to whether or not he can be defeated for two reasons: There may not be a viable Republican candidate that can muster enough votes to win, and I do not have enough confidence in my fellow Americans to wake up and vote this nightmare out of office.

    What do you think of Obama's chances at being re-elected?

    Based upon the current crop of ass hats trying for the GOP nomination I think Obama gets back in. Of course, should he really screw up in some fabulous way (which I doubt) or someone who is not a total ass hat gets in the race my opinion is subject to change. But as of today he should win quite easily.

    There is no candidate the GOP and American Right can support. It's a very weak field of candidates, and has been for some time. The far, far-right movement makes candidates like Huntsman or Romney unlikely; despite the fact that they're moderate enough to actually challenge Obama and his billion-dollar campaign.

    They'll probably put up some idiot like Herman 'I discriminate based on religion' Cain and lose in a similar fashion.

    One reason Obama will probably get reelected:

    The right-wing leadership actually likes him and exerts tremendous control over his administration even though they pretend not to.

    Obama has...

    1. Heavily increased defense spending
    2. Been very supportive of the oil industry (even in the face of environmental disasters)
    3. Has not closed Guantanamo and turned a blind eye to torture/renditions
    4. Started another profitable war with an oil producing Arab country

    What might derail his reelection is his clear lack of support for Israel. It is so bad that Netanyahu is able to openly smack Obama down and send him home with his tail between his legs. AIPAC will likely influence the right wingers and they may pull the plug on Obama as a result.

    Dead men have only won office a few times in America. So I don't think he will be able to win again.

    Someone is going to take a poke at this guy. I'm surprised they havent yet.
    When it does happen, I wont shed a tear as he is a tyrant and a traitor.


    Being dead though he will still be able to vote. That (*)(*)(*)(*) happens all the time.

    Most likely he will, and the country will manage to not break out into anarchy and armageddon.

    Well, the government is smarter than you and knows how to comprehend English.

    Funny that. Me calling the govt smarter than someone. Congratulations on your achievement.


    Or maybe you were wanting to make them aware that dead people vote in this country?


    What a fine citizen you are, if that is the case. They probably didn't know.

    Maybe, I voted for him in 2008 as an Independent and so far he's been a bust - though better than the alternative, which isn't saying much. I don't want more of him but I don't want anything the Republicans are pushing either. So I guess I'm just up (*)(*)(*)(*) creek without a paddle.

    This smells of 1996 all over again. The GOP will trot out another hopeless candidate.

    mmm, Romney stands a shot because most of the voting public is ignorant of his faith, it just does not matter, people are not like that they proved it with Obama. If anybody had a radical religion Obama did...WOE!, but to them they just did not care. To them Obama was just the new kid on the block, and they would not vote the Repubs back in after the crash, that was impossible. So...what were they going to do? he was the anti BUSH Repub vote....He almost had to win.
    Romney will be the Anti Obama vote and that just may be more than enough, especially if the economy is still hurting. Remember just like blacks came out to vote that never did before, I would expect whites to do the same.

    He just may surprise us, and if he gains momentum I think Obama is done. When you think about it, besides shooting Bin Ladden what [to the average guy] has Obama done?
    Now Obama fans on here will point to all sorts of things, but forget those things do not even get noticed by the public, just the Gas Pump. They are also not crazy about the Health plan at all, now you may say,,BUT WHAT ABOUT ROMNEY AND Massachusetts?
    These people do not even know Massachusetts exists......
    The public is stupid remember that Catch, they do not think like us.

    Romney isn't radical enough for the right; it'll be hard for him to win the primary.

    NY26 showed that conservative voters don't seem to care.

    Obama has a billion dollar campaign chest; it doesn't matter what he's done.

    Isn't this sick...a billion dollars wasted to elect one official. Only if folks were that dedicated to raising funds for cancer research.

    I too am surprised that some redneck hasn't tried to get him. Of course , they would have to take out Joe Biden also. :)

    I am not a McCain fan, although I voted for him, but how can you say he is better than the alternative, who never became President? So far, Obama has been a disaster, and a complete disappointment to those who were promised so much, and received so little. That may not be all bad, of course.

    Another thing to consider is that since 1980 only one president has failed to be re-elected. The only reason Bush Sr. wasn't re-elected was because of Ross Perot.

    I'm not at all convinced the Republican field of potential candidates is 'weak' -- especially when compared to the sitting president. Most of them have much more experience than Obama had when he was elected. I think it will be a close race, no matter who gets the GOP nod. Many of us will be voting for ANYONE EXCEPT OBAMA. There's not a single potential candidate I wouldn't choose over Barack and everybody I know feels the same way.

    Besides, I think the Reps will take over the senate in the next election... meaning a victory by Obama will lead to him being even less effective at achieving his socialist agenda than he's been with a majority.

    There was no choice on the poll for "Geesh, I hope not" but that's my vote anyway. Worst case scenario, his hands will be tied which could mean he becomes desperate enough to slam us with Executive Orders and end up getting himself impeached for abuse of power. Barack's not very good at taking no for an answer. His reelection might very well prove to be his downfall.

    The only one I think that has a shot at beating Obama is Tim Pawlenty. He's relatively young and looks the part. I don't really know a whole lot about him at this point and most Americans have never heard of him. Remember another candidate who fit that description back in 1992 with the initials of B.C.?

    But who knows who will win the primary when you've got about 1,000 candidates; anyone could win it. And since no one else out of those 1,000 has a prayer of beating the guy who took down bin Laden and turned the economy around, I'm saying it'll be Obama again in round 2.

    Obviously he will. All of the GOP "heavyweights" want no part of him despite a financial situation that would give a good shot to a challenger. They realize that they will have to go against a sitting president who inherited two wars with no direction and a financial nightmare. The war efforts seem a bit more focused now that OBL is dead and there is no real threat of a depression any longer. Beating any sitting president while we are at war is always very tough, but a successful one who is simply a cleaner candidate than any of the challengers is a no brainer.

    I believe the primary is cinched already, the far right is just not strong enough. It's just like your far left. Once he is in naturally they will join, they always do, It is still beating Obama and that is the incentive



    I agree Medicare did them in, but remember just as we heard Clinton speaking they plan on cutting it as well, it was all political BS. The Repubs made a terrible mistake, they should lie like the Dems. I still cant believe they were that stupid. You would think they know the public by now,,,geeesh, awful


    Depends on who he is up against, and how bad that person wants it. McCain was either too nice or scared stiff to attack him. Hopefully the next opponent will be stronger. Not saying it will be easy, money talks.

    I don't know. The very fact that Palin and Bachmann are being mentioned reflects poorly for the American Right.

    I don't want to be looped in with either party until I see who the GOP candidate is likely to be. If the GOP can put up a decent moderate candidate; I'll most-likely vote Republican, again.

    Medicare is a scare tactic that both sides will use when the odds don't look so great. I think McCain was afraid of the race card being shown; even though McCain is one of the least guilty of race baiting or race politics.

    Yup, they would have fried McCain, but there were many things he just never should have let go. Funny thing, he was leading until the crash....
    Oh, if somebody else enters the race ,,,sure I'll be all ears, Rubio or Christie and this thing is over.

    We mustn't forget to figure in the election results from last November. Does anybody (except libs) really believe all those folks who voted for CHANGE in Washington have gotten over their little tantrum? Think we're all happy as clams now and by next Nov, will have really gotten over it and will vote for Obama because we don't like the conservative nominee?

    Fat chance, Dims. Enjoy the fantasy while it lasts.
