I want to make something perfectly clear to my readers. I DON'T HATE BARACK OBAMA. I don't even dislike him. Truth is, if I met him in a pub, and didn't know he was the President of the United States, I would probably have a few drinks with him. I might even make a friend. The same is true with G.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
In American politics we tend to get personal, even to the point of hating our leaders. I have tried to avoid that, and I've tried to teach my kids to steer clear of that as well. Truth is, while much of what our political leaders do is evil, that doesn't mean they themselves are evil people. I have friends who are ardent Obama supporters, even to the point of trying to defend his indefensible HHS mandate. I don't 'unfriend' them just because of their flawed political views. They're good people and I know they mean well. It's just that so much of what they 'know' is wrong.

I'm going to tell my readers now that there is a fifty percent chance that Obama may lose the election, and if he does, there is a seventy-five percent chance that nothing big will really change. Oh sure, a Republican president may get rid of some of the more offensive features of Obamacare, including the insidious HHS mandate, but don't expect the principles of Obamacare to disappear, and you certainly shouldn't expect anything to get better in the healthcare industry. I would say there is probably a strong chance they will continue to get worse, especially under a Republican president. Under Obama we may go to war with Iran. Under a Republican president we WILL go to war with Iran.

Agreed on your assessment of the pos potus. I would think Hitler and Stalin were charming when they needed to be, all the while lying and manipulating to get their evil deeds done. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing and serpents who appear to speak half truths. All deception and illusion to appeal to the stupid, the desperate and those who think like them. In the end, nothing good comes of it. Be prepared.
We're already very close to that unhappy situation just on the basis of demographics, forget the unionization plan. Massive illegal immigration and the Immigration Act of 1965 have seen to that. Otherwise, Obama and his socialists would never have been allowed to take power. We've become a Tower of Babel, divided and conquered.
I agree with you. In fact this was my father’s solution first told to me sometime in the 1980s: Anyone who is on welfare or receives any Federal money that is not expected to be payed back does not vote. Period.
There is nothing about him or his family that I could like and it’s all because of their politics.
I think his odds of reelection are not good—even against Mittens. He got in because people were sick of Bush and Clinton—Now they are sick of Obama. Don’t believe the Media who all love and drool over him. This is how I sees it:
1. All Republicans will vote for Mittens—even if they hate him because they hate Obama worse.
2. All Democrats will Vote Obama because they got no choice and they fear and hate Republicans.
3. The people who will turn the election are the Independents who have grown tired of Obama and his squeaky little voice and lack of leadership.
Also, disinterested people who for various reason don't take the time to learn about the candidates. (This is why so many women vote wrong.) We need to have a simple civics test to quality a voter, similar to the driver's license test.
The author of this article writes like a typical, go-along-to-get-along, spineless metrosexual. They are therefore qualified for leadership positions in the repulicrat party.
Why wait till November??
There should be a write-in option, no?
I don't hate him. I don't have a feeling whatsoever of him. If you hate him that means you have feelings for him albeit negative ones but still have feelings. I don't think about him or even care much for him. He means absolutely nothing to me at all. I do obviously read about him on Free Republic or hear a snippit on tv, but that is it.
yep, should be...and there was... last time around in ‘08....the catch-22/gotcha! there was that write-ins were not counted in Fla (no, not FL!)
Semper watching!

Obama is an angry, bitter, deceptive little s**t. I could never be friends with a man like that!
Do you think a President Romney, in his first term, is as big a threat as Barry the Apologist who no longer has to worry about reelection? Will we get a Kagen, Sotomayor or Ginsburg on the court with a President Romney?
We can disagree about things but IMHO a reelected, unchained 0bama is a clear and present danger. We only have 3 choices
1) Vote for 0bama and teach the GOP a lesson. - Teaching the GOP a lesson never worked before so it won't work now. This is suicide.
2) Sit home in protest. - See #1
3) Hold your nose & vote Mittens - Yeah I hate this one too , and I'm tired of the lesser of 2 evils, but this is not Clinton or Carter we're dealing with. Regular corruption (Clinton) or incompetence (Carter) we can survive. Barry Sotoro OTOH is a revolutionary. He's the Manchurian candidate. All the "change" Bill Ayres et al couldn't get through terrorism, they're getting without firing a shot under the kenyan /Marxist.
If only more of the allies had read Mein Kampf in the 20s and early 30s like Churchill did, maybe a lot could have been averted. Well had we bothered to read Rules for Radicals back in the 80s & 90s and understood it , maybe this regime could have been avoided. Sorry about the rant , but thanks for reading.
He is. Rather like an opportunistic fungus.
I will vote for GOP downticket........getting a GOP Congress at least will neutralize Obama in his second term.....the problem is if Romney somehow does beat Obama, there goes our chance to field a decent GOP candidate in 2016 to run against Romney.
You got it. That's the author's point. Obama running the country is like cancer killing the body. The cancer didn't just spring up. Maybe the person smoked, worked with asbestos or engaged in a life of bad habits. The cancer is the end result. Same is true with Obama. 100 years of steady progressivism brought us to the point where we could elect Obama.
Where I disagree with the author is I do hate this man and what he stands for the same way if I or a loved one had cancer, I'd hate the cancer.
No, we can take this primary to the convention floor. If Romney want to win this nomination on the floor of the convention, he will have to repudiate RomneyCare.

Well said. He’s no less an enemy than Hitler, Stalin or Putin.
Our enemies are watching all this in amazement and disgust. They hate people like 0bama.
