Is America really ready for a third Obama term?
This is what’s being peddled by the punditocracy as it touts Hillary Clinton’s clinch on the Democratic nomination and her ability to beat Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
Whatever differences Clinton may have had with Barack Obama over the years, she has fully embraced him and his administration now as she has sought to win the early primaries by racking up big margins among African-American voters.
It is a strategy that is working well in the primaries, but it is a risky one for the general election.
Many Republicans feel a visceral passion against Obama, and even Democrats who are proud of electing the country’s first black president have often been disappointed at his performance in office.
In short, there may well be a majority of American voters against a third Obama term.
Combined with voter dissatisfaction with the political establishment so evident in the support for Trump, this creates a good deal of uncertainty about a general election that pits an establishment Clinton against an insurgent Trump, regardless of what the spurious “matchup” polls may indicate.

According to the article she needs to pass herself off as a “sister”. They believed Bill was the 1st black president so this could work. Bottom line is dems will pull the dem lever for whatever dem that runs.
The only ‘term’ I want out of the beast is a Prison Term.
The idiot Dems are being forced to say things in the Primary that are going to knee-cap them in the General.
Exactly
This tells me Hillary has no confidence in her own brand, and an admission her campaign is on life support.
I suspect the GOP themselves will make the case that a vote for Hillary is a third Obama term
This just in: Hillery seen leaving the White House with knee pads under her arm.
Problem is, the Democrats are upset with Obama not being FAR ENOUGH Left. Hence Mad Uncle Bernie.
Excellent point. A REAL tactical blunder for Hillary.
A hillary win would guarantee the destruction of America as it’s been for more than two hundred years.
Heck, obama’s pretty much done that already.
