10 Reasons Why Obama Will Be a One-Term President (Unless the GOP screws it up)
Vanity | June 21, 2009 | Ednamode

10 Reasons Why Obama Will be a One-Term President

1. Barack Obama won in part because of the amount of people he inspired with the campaign slogans: "Hope and Change" and "Yes We Can." He won't be able to use these slogans in 2012, unless he starts rooting for the opposition.

2. Over saturation. The problem with electing a Celebrity President is that people get tired of celebrities after a while. The news has become the new Entertainment Weekly, with anchors reporting on the latest Obama gossip.

3. The history factor will be gone. Part of the allure of voting for Obama was wanting to see a black President. Now that it has happened, the "white guilt" vote will likely be significantly reduced.

4. The Bush wasn't so bad after all vibe. In just five short months, Cheney has clearly exploited Obama's weaknesses on fighting terrorism, while vindicating Bush. Obama may have won, partially because a great number of people went back to a September 10th mindset, due to there not being another terrorist attack in the US.

5. Iran and North Korea. Obama's been indecisive and not acting like the leader of the free world. That he has remained silent on Iran will not sit well with many people.

6. The economy. People blamed Republicans for the Recession, and many people who voted for him expected Obama to end it quickly. The American public is more impatient than prior generations that reelected FDR in slow economic times. People will not have the patience to endure a long economic crisis. If the unemployment rate stays high, expect Obama's numbers to continue to drop.

7. America is still a center-right country. Americans are conservative on most of the important issues. The Republicans need to point out that Obama's views are the opposite of most Americans.

8. Don't count Hillary out. Jimmy Carter nearly lost in the 1980 primaries to Ted Kennedy. Obama ran out of steam against Hillary in the later primaries and lost in most of the big states. If Obama continues to fail on the most important issues, Clinton might want to capitalize.

9. High expectations. Obama was portrayed as a post-racial, healer who was going to solve all the world's problems. Now that the aura is dwindling, many people might realize the promises he made were impossible.

10. The more they know, the less they like. Part of Obama's appeal was that he was an enigma. Since being elected, they've seen him crack jokes about the Special Olympics, make a public speech about the murder of an abortionist and release only a written statement on the murder of an Army recruiter.

Now if only the GOP can nominate someone who is clearly different than Obama on the most important issues and can successfully inform the public on all of Obama's failures, which the mainstream media will not cover.

Reason #11:

1. As most of us learned during the 2008 presidential campaign, candidates must sign a routine eligiblity document in most states.

2. Challenging candidates eligibility statement: As I understand, we voters have from 1 to 5 days to challenge the candidates eligibility signed statement.

3. My point is this: I see voters challenging Obama's presidential eligibility as soon as Obama signs the routine eligibility form in 2011-2012 where he says that he is LEGALLY eligible to run for President of the United States.

4. In fact, I see voters in each state---during the long campaign leading up to the 2012 presidential elections---immediately challenging candidate Obama over and over to present documents, like his Hawaii long form birth certificate, that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is legally ELIGIBLE under the laws of the Constitution of the United States to run for President of the United States when he signs the routine eligibility form in each state.

5. My point is this: I don't think that candidate Obama can present his Hawaii long form birth certificate, because there will be information on the long form birth certificate that will be politically damaging to candidate Obama.

6. So, as I see it, Obama will be a one term President of the United States.

Here is my best hope scenario. Lil’kim chucks a nuke at Alaska. 0 won't do anything but Palin intercedes and shoots it down using the ANG defenses. She will be the next elected president. We may have to suffer Biden in the meantime....

Also elections turned on social issues. we were to identified with evangelicals and Southerners and small town America. Economic issues were basically dead. Now Economic issues are front and center and we are likely to recoup many of the coastal and suburban types we lost because of the social issues. I can't picture Wall street giving 70% to the Dem's next time. Even on the social issues we can get a majority of peoples attention with the immigration issue.

This is ridiculous.

It's way too early and if anybody thinks beating Obama is going to be an easy thing they are living in a fantasy land. It's going to be damn near impossible.

Problem is - 90% of the Porkulus infusion is being saved until 2011 - early 2012. Once the Wun gets it rolling into the ghettos and barrios he will be a hero! And the MSM will let everyone know how great things are.

The number one task of leftists from now until 2012 will be to destroy any potential conservative candidates

That task began the day Palin was nominated for VP.

The permit is secured- AND ALREADY almost A MILLION AMERICANS HAVE SIGNED UP!

This is the only way we will ever get the attention of our elected officials, the MSM and the masses- protest!

From the FreedomsFirst website:

We are moving forward on our rally in Washington D C.
We are working non stop in preparations for this historical event to be held Sept 12-13 2009 at the Lincoln Memorial Reflections pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
As for the time, The million man march that took place a few years age took over 2 years to organize, we are trying to push this through as fast as we can.
To protest in DC you have to have a permit and have approval to use a certain piece of land.

We called ahead of filing for these things. September 12 &13 were the next available days they had.
The other organization, resistnet.com, which was putting together a march for May 30, didn’t do this so they were refused their permit. Now they are joining with our group. So, we are doing this absolutely as soon we can.
To have a successful march takes time and organization.

Why are we protesting ?
1. To get the attention of the mainstream media.
2. To demand That Obama Provide proof that he is eligible to be president.
3. To demand that Congress and the Supreme court uphold our constitution.
4. To inform the public on the issue of Obama’s ineligibility to be president of the USA.
5. To demand that they can not take our constitutional rights away.

PRESIDENT OBAMA, WE DEMAND THAT YOU BE TRANSPARENT NOW
We will come together in a peaceful rally.
We are proud Americans who fear that we are losing the America we all know and love.
The America where millions have served in our military sacrificing their lives so that we remain free.
A people who honor their flag and understand what it means to fly it and are so proud to do so.
It is time for our voices to be heard loud and clear. Our government is for the people and by the people.
We are Americans who see our rights slipping away as we speak.
It is time our voices are heard.
It is time for us to shout loudly and strongly that we refuse to live under a socialist regime, where our voices are silenced.
Lets take this action now before we awaken one morning and our freedoms are nothing more than a memory.

WE WILL BE UNITED- CHRISTIAN, JEW, BUDDHIST, HINDU, ATHEIST, BLACK AND WHITE.
WE WILL BE ONE- ONE OF MANY WHO STAND AS PATRIOTIC AMERICANS DEMANDING OUR VOICES BE HEARD.
We will be DEMANDING THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I’m betting on the RNC to screw it up. They frittered away 8 years of having the whole shebang. No leadership. Few Conservatives. Absolutely NO spine. Wasted inept morons.

Palin and Bachmann in 2012. No matter WHAT the GOP says or does.

The Media will NOT choose the Conservative Flag Bearers in 2012, WE, The People, Will.

Clinton started out with one disaster after another...after 6 months even the liberal media was down on him. Things began to turn around when he had a Republican Congress and the media persuaded the public that Congress had "shut down" the government in a fit of pique.

Remember Nixon in 1972 and Clinton in 1996. An unscrupulous President can do a lot of things to screw up the other party's nominating process, and the Chicago machine around Obama will probably make CREEP look like a Sunday school picnic when it comes to dirty tricks and illegal behavior. All Obama has to do to be re-elected is to make sure the Republicans don't nominate someone with widespread appeal.

EVERYONE in Congress up for re-election isn’t going to find the American people in a good mood to listen to their excuses or rhetoric. The mood of everyone I know, RAT and Repubican, is Vote Them All Out. That was also the mantra at the Tea Party I attended.

Everyone in office in DC needs to be sent packing. I think the majority in this country is angry enough to do so.

Conservatives must organize and mobilize and go door to door, if need be, with evidence against every Congressman and Senator if need be.

Every member in Congress must be told they’re TOAST now.
