So, you like how he's starting new wars, taking our rights away by renewing the Patriot Act, and bailing out Wall St.? The same Wall St. that he is now conveniently against? Obama is the biggest proponent of corporate welfare in the history of the country

Fortunately for America, the views expressed by forum Liberals are in the minority in the general public.

"Barack Obama is one of the best Presidents" is a perfect example of how out of touch forum Libs are with the rest of the nation.

Just for the ones who are beyond any reasoning or common sense like yourself. Oh and I am not a Republican I am actually an independent.

No, they say much more than that, here's an example.

"Obama is destroying the economy"
"Obama is destroying the medical profession"
"Obama is destroying the environement"
"Obama hates Israel"
"Obama is the worst at everything"
"Obama is named Obama, isn't that reason enough to vote for me"???
"Obama is the only issue we have to address, isn't that reason enough to
vote for me"?
"Obama envy and hate is my political platform, what else do I need"???

Republicans always seem to forget that there is something called a general election after their stupid primary. What appeals to the radicals in their party will turn off many in mainstream America.

What some do not realize is that the INDEPENDENTS bought into the Hope and Change message in 2008. They are much smarter today and it shows in the polls. Obama is TOAST. In the end a trained monkey could take the Presidency from Obama in 2012. Just take one look at the polling of independents. They are polling strongly to the Republican candidate whoever that may be.

We all know the base of the Democrats and the base of the Republicans will vote the party line. However again look at the polling numbers. The hard core Democratic base is disenchanted with Pres. Obama while the Republican base is energized to get Obama out whoever the candidate is. How does that translate into real votes. Its easy. The Republicans who stayed home the last Presidential election will vote in droves while the Democrats who were so enamored with Obama in 2008 are for the most part feeling pretty much let down with no reason to get up and vote in 2012.

No matter how you spin it the question remains the same in 2012 as it did in 1980. Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago? The answer for the most part is a resounding NO! Just check out the OWS crowd, and they eventually will come to the conclusion that the Obama administration has a part in this mess. Throwing in with that crowd doesn't help the President either. Just another reason to not get up and vote for him. There are many reasons for Democrats not to vote for this guy but I cannot type until dawn.

I will leave you with this thought,
Remember the Silent Majority? They have for the most part been quiet since the early 80's. They will be heard from again in 2012 and I am betting the 2012 election will mirror the election of 1980 with a sweep into office of Conservative politicians who will be on a short leash. and a very short leash at that!
