I lost track of how many debates he participated in - and then when only he and Hillary were left, they had a series of debates that garnered huge TV prime time ratings.
So, after 23 months of campaigning and many debates, how can anyone possibly ask "who is Barack Obama"?
Either you weren't paying attention or you were too overwhelmed by the sheer lunacy of the R's VP choice.
The FACT is Obama is governing as POTUS exactly as he said he would when he was a candidate. His polling numbers indicates he is much preferred over Etch-A-Sketch and will, in all probability, be overwhelmingly reelected, as he should be.

I will try and repond with a civil tone.
Obama is
NOT....repeat..
.NOT even close...governing as he said he would.
He lied on each and every aspect of the health care bill including the actual goal of his "reform". In addition on that bill he wasted time that could have been spent on JOBS.
NOT "exactly as he said he would when he was a candidate. As a result of his arrogance there are folks who will suffer greatly.
He ridiculed the past administration on Patriot act......and kept it totally 100% in place....
NOT "exactly as he said he would when he was a candidate."
He absolutely condemned that past administration on the rendition of terror suspects...I mean he was really strong. Now he still has renditions and no chance of it ever being changes....
NOT "exactly as he said he would when he was a candidate."
As a candidate, he detailed a very detailed plan for NASA and said he would make NASA a priority again. He killed the constellation program....
NOT "exactly as he said he would when he was a candidate."
He said over and over again as he ridiculed the last administration that he would close GTMO.....it is still open......
NOT "exactly as he said he would when he was a candidate."
Have not mentioned his now embracing super Pac's which to him was taboo.....and many many more. So he is NOT even close and if you want to discuss the economics then the list gets so big.
How about NO BUDGET in a democratic senate.....
Anyway, you feel he has been vetted...good for you. There have been BOOKS written on how he was NOT vetted. Not books by Republicans or right wing folks, BUT by media folks. Hope this time around he will get vetted but as someone mentioned on here...I did not see it or read it but the recent book or tv special on the last campaign had McCain saying he would not campaign in that manner....ie, bringing up some of the more uncomfortable stuff.
Actually, that may not be necessary as the last time he had NO record at all of any kind on anything. This time he does.
I realize this will be met by sarcasm but this is not a game.....the polls do not matter.....his supporters on this forum
NEVER EVER EVER discuss issues and in order to discuss politics, or the world, or the leaders, you need to discuss issues. I believe that this lack of issue driven focus will show up in the campaign, although unlike you I dont predict anything.
I have read so much more than you would ever think of reading on this man and all I know, other than the last years as president is shadows...perhaps not by design, but shadows in his life.
I will anticipate your posting of polls IF THEY FAVOR OBAMA.....I will anticipate your posting as much negative things about Romney personally as you can get your hands on.....I will anticipate some creative names being posted for Romney, his family, etc........but I would hope that maybe sometime you might post on an issue that is vital to the COUNTRY and not selected things that play to the "game", which this election, nor any election, is not ~!!!
