Your point is well taken. I believe Obama may be in for a tougher time than he anticipates.
I pray he is, anyway.

I think the argument could be made that Clinton’s was. He had to take a hard right turn and run toward the middle, which he did - brilliantly (for a libtard). Didn’t we get the welfare reforms during his second term (albeit with a R Congress)?

Obama, of course.
It's already been written.

Since Hussein’s goal is destruction and disintegration rather than anything positive, he could easily have a more successful second term.

I like that answer! Why didn’t I think to put him on the list?

I thought Clintons right turn came after the 94 midterms, enabling him to cruise through his re-election as a moderate.
All I remember from his second term was perjury.

It's already been written. What Obambam needs right about now to distract from Libya is his second, equally deserved Nobel Peace Prize.

Clinton went for military homos and socialist health care his first term and failed...his second was nothing but scandals and his becoming a smegma stain in American history for his sick perversions.
The fact that he survived to complete his second term in spite of historical shame and impeachment made his second more successful than his first...
...oh, and Nixon won the Vietnam War in HIS second term before the Dems stabbed South Vietnam in the back and left them to perish once Nixon left.

Since Husseins goal is destruction and disintegration rather than anything positive, he could easily have a more successful second term.I wouldn't be surprised if he's looking to ditch all of his appointees and czars for hard-left replacements right now so he can really get the job done. That's why some are being forced out by scandals and most others are rumored to be on the chopping block for one reason or another.

President Ronald Reagan revitalized America during his fist term and exceeded his already impressive accomplishments during his remarkable second term:
Not only did President Reagan's policies ensure that every American who wanted to work was fully employed, but the overall economy was flourishing during the second part of his 8-year term. And there's the matter of his administration bringing the USSR to its knees. American Exceptionalism was restored by President Reagan during his first term and he took it to the next level after the landslide win of 1984.

And his third term will be even more destructive than his second.

Ike.
July 7, 1958-Eisenhower signs a bill making Alaska the forty-ninth state.
And history was made. It was only a matter of time before Governor Sarah Palin would come along! :o)

Well it wasn’t the goal of any other president to wreck our country. I am convinced that Obama will do quite well in achieving his goal second term.

This president has a habit of doing things other presidents have been unable to. He wasn’t supposed to get health care passed, he did, he’s teflon when it comes to scandals, and he wasn’t supposed to get reelected. If we start to relax thinking that he couldn’t possibly do anything worse than he’s already done, he’s going to stomp on us.

Name another president that lived deep inside the Affirmative Action Bubble.
Obama could Nuke NYC and still own their hearts and minds,
If the 911 NYC attacks occurred today, only one station would cover it.
