The 5 Reasons Obama Is Going To Win A 2nd Term
Sorry Republicans, but I am going to make this prediction now. President Obama, no matter how much you hate him for any number of reasons, is going to be elected for a second term. How do I know this? Because the Republican party has no serious competition to run against the man. In fact, aside from Mitt Romney, the Republicans might as well save some money and sit the 2012 election out. The competition is laughable, at best, and I am not even going to include Sarah Palin on this list. She's passé when considering a presidential candidate. Does this sound harsh? Perhaps. But if the Republicans plan on getting any votes in 2012, they may want to reconsider who their leaders are. Here are some of the people you have so far.
Obama has no real competition from Republicans? Aside from Mitt Romney?
What about Ron Paul? He is more than qualified and if elected I believe he could be the next best President after Lincoln.
btw, the Tea Party Movement came from RON PAUL, not Michele Bachmann. She voted to retain the Patriot Act while telling the Tea Party activists that she was against it.
Funny how corporate media outlets always seem to push him out of the possibilities for President. They literally excluded him in 2008.
He is real “change” from what we have had for years and years, and he speaks it.
Read up on him, watch Youtube, EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT THIS MAN.
Mitch: Thanks for the comments. I’ll stand by what I said. The Republicans don’t have a viable candidate as of right now. Mitt Romney is going to have to fight with the demons of his own health care system that he created for the state of Massachusetts. Additionally, already the Religious Right is hitting him for being part of a “false religion”.
As for Dr. Ron Paul, he has a great following, there just aren’t enough of them. I am educated about this man. The guy tells it like it is and sticks to his stance. However, he doesn’t have enough support where it counts. Additionally, how is America supposed to vote for a man who will be 81 years old after his first term? His ship has sailed with the last election. He has some very interesting thoughts, but he is unable to be elected. To illustrate, Ronald Reagan – our oldest U.S. President – was 77 when he LEFT office and the same age Paul would be trying to ENTER into the position.
You are correct, as of now he may not have a decent sized following but they are dedicated. How large was Obama’s following prior to the media blowing his name up? Not all that big huh? Don’t rule him out because of that, good ideas USUALLY spread quickly throughout a nation when they go unimpeded.
Out of the Republicans, I see no other credible candidate that can really stand a chance. Ron Paul would be the one that to the greatest extent, challenge Obama, his policies and the way he has handled the past 4 years.
As for his age, I don’t completely agree. When you have a man who has profound ideas in mind for our nation, is it fair or even an intelligent idea to just rule him out because of that? These are desperate times. Someone could have the solution to all of our problems (not claiming Ron does) and we could write him off, simply because they’re old.
Our founding fathers were what I would think to be “old” back in the 1700′s, but look how long their imprint in history has lasted through our daily lives.
What I’m getting at, is that it is the ideas and actions that you would expect them to implement after they are elected that should matter. We had our first black President, who is to say that we can’t have a new oldest President? Someone is bound to break Reagan’s streak!
I realize there are other candidates who may be able to challenge Obama, just at this point…I’d prefer Paul to do it. He can raise so many more new issues that even if he lost, could hold Obama accountable to if he made any more promises.
Just some food for thought. I’m young, I have high hopes for my future. I’m tired of watching people gut our system and ruin the futures of people who have nothing to do with it and are just barely entering what we call Life.
