Make a case for why President Downgrade deserves to be reelected

[Doug_Steele]

Dude.  I live in his "home" state.  Very difficult to be anti-Obama here.  One of my friends is actively campaigning for him already.   

Well, i am here in Georgia as of right now and he can do no wrong.  The people of Atlanta see him as a god.

I was in Atlanta earlier this year and that's the impression I got too.  He is still The Messiah here.  He will probably carry this state by about 70-80 percent.

Ask any young person why they voted for him and they do not know why. I get so irritated when i here this: "My Lambo is Blue and my president is Black."

I wonder if most young black kids see it as a racial thing. 

They are driving old Honda Civics.

So the only one to take a swing so far is a squirrel-eating, faux-conservative. Really says a lot about the Obama drones on here. They've got nothing.  

BF, you voted for Obama.  What are the main points you have against him in relation to the points of why you voted for him?

I would attempt to make a case for why he deserves to be reelected, but I can't lol...

The economy, the economy, the economy.

This country is on the verge of falling right off the economic cliff and the best thing this douche can do is show up every four or five months and chastise everyone else for apparently not doing their part....only for him to take off somewhere (usually a fundraiser as all he does is campaign) and get himself involved in something irrelevant.

The guy actually had the gall to jet off for two fundraisers today after scolding congress for not working hard enough. This guy has spent over a year now avoiding even discussing the economy, let alone actually trying to fix it. And when he finally does open his mouth, the best he can muster is to blame everyone else (again) and then call for more spending.  

He's no leader and has no clue how to fix the economy. When that happens it's time to go.

The only question that needs to be asked is, "Is this country better off now than it was before he was President?" Nothing indicates that it is.

[Soul Crusher]

Most supporting obama don't give a damn about the country if they still support him.

I wouldn't say that.  Some people are party loyalists (at least some of the supporters I know).

I can totally understand this.  It's a lot of why I don't like him either.  It seems like he just got in office and did what the bankers wanted him to do rather than what was right.  I'm not sure the next guy will do any different but well, I guess only time will tell.

[2ND COMING]

Ask any young person why they voted for him and they do not know why.

In other forums i post on, younger people 18-24, tell me they voted for him because he was "the lesser of two evils" compared to palin/mccain.

younger people always sway liberal, and most if not all believe republicans are "Evil", "racist", "greedy" etc.

sad but true.

[Fury]

the economy should not always be put first. It should be addressed and Obama's administration has not done a good job there but the economy should not be above all else.

I wish there was a better democratic candidate. But don't get me wrong, I've been trying to learn more about all the candidates.

How did I miss this gem. This asshole is clearly aiming for blacken's and 240's shared title for the board 's biggest retard.

[Soul Crusher]

According to the far leftists redistribution of wealth, pushing bizarro world social policies, always takes precedence over people finding work and feeding themselves.

The sad reality is, he's got a good chance of getting reelected aside from the world of this board.

I disagree.    He won by less than 6 points in 2008 when literally everything was working for him that he no longer has the benefit of.  almost every single benefit he had in 2008 is gone and I think it accounts formore than a 6 point swing overall.

Call it a bad gut feeling.

he's currently running FOR president and is getting a 44% approval rating.

In a year, he'll be running AGAINST a republican.  With his/her own set of issues.  Suddenly, anyone polarized, disenfranchised, unhappy with this candidate may vote for obama JUST TO DEFEAT this republican.

You run a moderate republican, and the repub base stays home (18% less stayed home in 2008 that showed up in 2004).  You run a far-right republican, and the moderates stick with obama to keep a nutjob bible literalist out of office. 

So yes, Obama has all his negatives right now, and the repubs has all the positives of being all things to all voters who don't like Obama.  Wait til you put a face to the GOP nominee.

Like Charlie Crist?   LMAO

classic 33 dodge.  You do this and everyone here knows my point just owned you and so you resort to insulting me.

Watch and see.  The GOP nominee won't make both the moderate and far-right repubs happy.

Unlike 2008 - obama has a record.   He can't run on hope and change as that turned out to be a collosal lie and joke.  Just like there was Bush fatigue in 2008, there i already overwhelming obama fatigue in the nation and people are chomping at the bit to oust this communist traitor you are so smitten with.   

Its not about the GOP, its about obama's record of failure and destruction that will carry the day, as sad for you as we all know that is. 

Romney, bachmann, paul, perry, t paw, a can of soup, a dog bone, a cat litter box, will all be able to landslide barry in 2012.  Just like on november 5, 2010, you, straw, blacken, benny, mal, andre, and the rest of the liberal freak show we in shell shock over what occurred, so will be the same in 2012 when this piece of trash is sent packing.

Do you really believe the republican fervor and enthusiasm will be the same in Nov 2012 as it was in nov 2010?

Even more so.   Asie from the gays, blacks, racist hispanic groups, govt union thugs, enviro nazis, he has lost almost everyone else.   and those goups dont matter one bit in elections other than for numbers.  Most are grouped together in certain population centers where it doesnt matter as it is.     

His polls right now are a mile wide and an inch thick.

He has the power of the incumbency, and will have the cash, but he is in serious trouble.  He has lost the independents and Republicans who put him in office.  His base will not be enough to get him reelected. 

[240 is Back]

He has the power of the incumbency,

I agree with you - the incumbency is a huge power.  He can dictate events to help him politically.  Many getbiggers seem to disagree with this power.

Not enough - he abuses his power and it turns people off.

It will not be enough to save his lousy presidency.  He can't run on his record, he can't run against Bush, and he can't be an anti-war candidate.  He's toast.  

[240 is Back]

i agree it won't be enough alone.

Still, many getbiggers have argued for years that there isn't certain powers that come with running the country which benefit people trying to keep office.

[MM2K]

But as Karl Rove points out, he threw away the power of incumbency when he started going on the campaign trail so early and so intense.
