One Term President

Found this video and thought i would share it with everyone and get there views

Obama is going to be a two term President. There is no credible opponent that could go against him in 2012. The entirety of his opposition has become foaming at the mouth banshees and this *usually* has the effect of turning off moderate/independent voters. Couple that with a conservative split between Republicans and Tea Party types and Obama effectively has no opposition that will garner enough votes to challenge him.

As for this video it includes all the usual silliness I hear from conservatives daily. This video sounds like it was produced by Sean Hannity as it even harps on Jeremiah Wright. Which at this point only Hannity continues to bring up. And did I miss it, or were there no minorities joining in on the "fun" in this video? Why did I only see whites going after him yet again?

*yawn*

TTP in the house, ya dig?

At this point, its too soon to tell. Obama certainly seems headed down the path of a one-term president, but there's always the possibility he could turn it around. There's still time to recover, if he's willing to step back from the abyss and start making real attempts at bipartisanship, both in words and actions. Otherwise, I don't think much is going to get accomplished in this term and if that's the case, he's going to have a hard time getting anyone motivated to go to the polls and vote for him.

Mr. Obama will be a one term President due to his "transparency".

He's so transparent that more than half of Americans can see right through him after just a little over a year. (It took years to wise up to Nixon)

If Barack says one thing, I believe exactly the opposite. He is an easy read!!!! He should go back to being an organizer as he is a lousy liar and not too good with a stump speech without the prompter, skills which would undermine a career as a practicing lawyer.

It's the kind of transparency all politicians should strive for (sarcasm) and the traits the people pray for (hope and change) in their elected officials.

Thank you Mr. President.

Mmm mmm mmm

I think it's part of the the GOP narrative to not cooperate on anything.
You have congressmen voting against their very own proposals, i.e. financial reform measures.

I don't like either party and Obama has done worse than I expected, but I don't see the GOP nominating a viable alternative.

I will take Obama over Romney or whatever typical politician they will nominate. I voted for Rep. Paul in the Republican primary. But let's not kid ourselves. Presidential politics is a fixed game. Forget raising the money, if you're not in the club, you won't get a fair shot from the media and corporations that control the elections. Look what happened to Ron Paul.

I'm convinced if Fox had been as staunchly behind him as Bush, Paul could have been elected. His message is popular, but to me clearly the establishment would never allow someone that radical to come to power.
Obama has caved to the same interests as the others, it's inevitable.

Despite the "gaff" Biden made about taking credit for the war, Obama's administration and military commanders have seemed to prosecute it more effectively than Bush and Rumsfeld.

You seem to hold some very conflicting, confusing principles.
Like a leaf in the wind blown across the grass.
To say you were for Ron Paul before Obama was even elected and now say you would choose him over alternatives is quite boggling.
They are polar opposites.
Hope you spend some time educating yourself about differing ideologies and understanding yourself better before the next election.

I just hope the opposition is Ron Paul...I would rather have the campaign field a philosophical debate and a selling of visions verses a palin jingoistic campaign of lunacy.

If Paul is running against Obama, it will be interesting, enlightening, and may actually confuse people into thinking for once verses just laugh their arse off and become either stupidly entertained while voting Obama, or nuclear angry and ferverantly religious while voting for Palin.


Please, oh please send forth intellect to run...let smart people rule no matter the outcome.

Very fitting that Obama will be a one term President.

After all Obama is just an extension of Jimmy Carter, who was also a one termer.

There is also a chance that Obama won't even run in 2012. If just a couple of states demand proof of eligibility to appear on the ballot, he is toast.

I am still for Ron Paul. I'm quite informed of politics. Between the choices given in the general election, I'd take Obama.

Ron Paul is the closest to my ideal of what government should be, but Romney or whomever the GOP is likely to nominate, is not any closer to that ideal than Obama politics.

They are both still corporate socialists and support an unwavering fealty to the military-industrial complex. Between Obama and the "mainstream" GOP, I'll take Obama. He signed into law the largest single year increase in VA funding in several decades.

And McCain fought against the new 21st century GI Bill benefits on the grounds that it would entice too many people to leave the service and get an education instead of stay and fighting in Iraq !

In the current system, GOP economic policies are worse for most people. The deficit has grown faster under GOP White Houses. Obama screwed up bailing out the system, but I guarantee McCain would have done the same.
The economy crashed under Bush. Much of the current budget deficit is due to reduced tax revenues, and the wreckless wars, not indiscretionary domestic spending.

As crappy as Obama is doing with reforming health care, the GOP doesn't want anything done at all. The problem grew exponentially under the GOP congress. I don't think it's coincidental. I can't believe health insurance companies are exempt from anti-trust laws. Lobbyist influenced capitalism is corrupt. If the whole game is rigged, the same principles don't apply. The markets aren't as free as we think.
