Does Obama Deserve To Be Re-Elected?

Do You Think Obama Deserve Re Election?

If Yes: Please cite significant things he has done that have benefited this country and it's citizens.

If No: Please cite significant things he has or hasn't done that would lead you to vote for another candidate.

Too soon to tell. He has two more years to convince us. Me, I haven't decided yet, and I figure I don't have to till November of 2012.

As it stands right now, I'm considering Obama in comparison to Sarah Palin, who just may be able to snag the Republican nomination, with no plausible third candidate. In that context I have to vote for Obama.

While no single person can really take credit for a single issue, I do consider Obama's leadership skills as far superior to any Republican I'm aware of.

Actually, I prefer to have Bill Clinton and his whole team back.

I don't know yet.

I like the guy. The enormous spending was a bit of an issue with me...

If Palin becomes his only opponent, then I'll vote for Obama again. I don't have anything against the woman, or any woman who wanted to run for that matter. She has the charisma, but she doesn't have the experience, eloquence, or (in my opinion enough tolerance) to be president. She's way to far to the right for me.


Ron Paul - I might vote for him, but I know he's not popular enough to actually win. And I don't agree with him on everything.


Anyone but Christine O'Donnell would be nice

I think Romney actually has a better chance then Palin. I heard that they are considering a Romney-Huckabee ticket. Sounds really odd to me though.

I dont know which one ill vote for yet though. Besides Health care Obamas done fine so far.

The last Presidential candidate that I was unequivocally FOR, without reservation, was John Kennedy. I was ten years old. Ever since, to one degree or another, I've been voting for the lesser of two evils or the guy I distrusted the least. It would be such a pleasure to vote for someone that I actually trusted, agreed with, and thought highly of, but I know of no such person and see none on the horizon.

I get a little less political with every passing year. I don't even know what to think any more. Both parties seem to me to be so beholden to, and controlled by, their extremists, and so much more focused on retaining and increasing that party's power than the good of the nation, that I find it hard to find much respect for either. Every member of Congress pays lip service to reducing Government waste -- except in his or her own district, of course, and therefore each has to give a pass to other Congresspersons' pet projects in order to preserve his or her own. Immigration? Our nation was once a beacon and a refuge to others fleeing intolerable conditions and poverty in their home countries, and now we talk about building walls. In the name of all that's human, would YOU want to wait ten years to leave Mexico, in the state that it's in? I'd not only want to cross the border tonight, I'd want to get my wife and kids out with me. I don't like government-run health care, but adequate health care and/or adequate health insurance is no longer within the reach of the average citizen.

When I was twenty, I knew all the answers. Now I'm sixty, and I don't even know what the right questions are any more.

I'll start taking bets from anyone who says Sarah Palin can't win the 2012 election, Lucia????? Obama is "far to the left" and he got elected, and I would argue that far left liberalism is more toxic to this country then far right conservatism.

I think Romney actually has a better chance then Palin. I heard that they are considering a Romney-Huckabee ticket. Sounds really odd to me though.

As a republican, I don't like Romney. He's to moderate and liberal for my taste, and the last time republicans elected a moderate to the white house it didn't work out so well.

I dont like Palin becuase she is too extreme. Im not a Romney fan either but he represents my views best. It isnt about whats best for republicans to me, but rather whats best for all of us.

Obama is left of center. He's too fiscally liberal for my tastes.

But it would be too much of a complement for Sarah Palin to say that she's the "Obama of the right." She's not. She certainly isn't as eloquent. She can't even tell you what newspaper she reads. She seems more like someone who just repeats talking points and catchy witticisms. She only cares about "real Americans" aka rural Republicans, and not anyone else.

But aside from that, I'm afraid she'd be like a super Bush and we'd be in even more wars than we already are.

I don't have an opinion on Romney. I haven't really researched his positions on anything so idk.

Huckabee seems like a nice person but he's painfully homophobic. Saying that gay couples should just stick with puppies (instead of being able to adopt orphans).

The only Republican I can vote for is one who doesn't have a homophobic agenda, who doesn't think "invade and occupy" is the best way to combat terror, and who is actually fiscally responsible...

And the only person I can think of that might fit that bill is Ron Paul.

I vote fiscally conservative socially liberal. I like Paul on his fiscal side but disagree with him on several social issues. However, for the sake of our current crisis I tended to be more on the side os a fiscal conservative if they were not too outspoken on their social conservative side.

I saw a great overtime from Bill Maher the other day and he brought up a wonderful point. It went something like:

the left and the right need to meet in the middle but the right is moving so far to the right that the middle is now on the right.

We need the Republican party of old to come back... the one before the Religious right hijacked it.
