Do you really want Barack Hussein Obama to serve another four year term as president of the United States of America?

Really?

Why?

Tell us why you want him if you do not why you don't want somebody else.

Tell us why you don't want him not why you want somebody else.

I cannot find anyone on the Repub side that I can vote for. I watch the debates and cringe. What they say and what I believe are at almost opposite ends of the spectrum. Worse is that none of them offer me any hope. I think Obama will win again because the repub candidates offer nothing that a majority of Americans can support. And please even though I voted for the man, he has dissappointed me a great deal, enough that given a decent alternative I would not vote for him. But there is nothing there.

I cannot support virtually anything that the Republican Party stands for.

For a point of reference could you tell me what you think the Rep. party stands for?
That sounds like a very sweeping comment.

And for my info could you tell me what Obama or the Dems stand for so I can see the difference.

I love Barack Hussein Obama. He is the most articulate, intelligent man in the world. He thinks everything through before making decisions - unlike others before him. If he had a memo come across his desk that said "Osama Bin Laden to attack US", he wouldn't just laugh and say "Okay you covered your ass" and go back to vacationing.

His only fault, as I see it, is he is too nice. He tries to get along with everyone, and that gets him in trouble with his base for not being tough enough.

We are very lucky to have him as our president at this time. I don't know why he even wants the job. It's a thankless job. He could be making tons of money on the outside. Speaker Gingrich, who was only speaker not president, made over $100,000,000 since leaving office.

God bless Barack Hussein Obama and his family.

Regarding "the most articulate, intelligent man in the world".....

I prefer a genuine and humble man as President, who makes an occasional gaffe, rather than one whose motives and agenda are "intelligently" kept hidden and that are not for the USA first and foremost.

It is quite telling when a Harvard Law Review head's writings during that time are nowhere to be seen.

Genuine and humble are great traits, but not in a president. Especially if the president you refer to is Bush 2. He had a lot to be humble about. Gingrich is certainly neither of those things. Romney seems to be the best candidate. Cain is on the way down and out because of all the women coming forward. I woulid consider voting for Romney over Obama. But Gingrich or Caine....never.

I do not want genuine and humble, I want intelligent and tough and honest.

Actually, I wasn't referring to Bush 2 (although i do think his motives were for this nation first).

What Obama fans often leave out of the equation (because he doesn't have it) is visionary leadership, and managerial and fiscal wisdom and experience. Obama and fans seem to have no clue as to how revenue is actually produced as opposed to ripping it out of the hides of producers-taxpayers, and they don't WANT to know. As fiscal managers, Obama and fans seem to be in some kind of fantasyland.

Any one of the top GOP candidates gets this far better than Obama, and I think Romney will be his opposition.

I respect your opinion, but I must say that this President had ZERO experience to qualify him for the office and I think the Republican side offers at least two who offer what we need..Romney and Gingrich. Does not mean I support either of them but they do have the experience and the incumbent has made that trait important in my view.

Having said that, NOBODY who has experience is without his/her shortcomings....President Obama had no experience thus all we knew is what he told us and we know that did not come to pass.

NOBODY ....NOBODY will fulfill all we want...name me just one of either party who walked so perfectly as you are looking for. I can come up with many negatives for each and every candidate. Only one served as President and he has not done so well...thus....

What you say about alternatives is your slant speaking. I suspect there could NEVER BE a Republican to suit you frankly.

I will agree on the debates, HOWEVER, you have to keep in mind....as many on here reminded me in 2008 on this forum...these are debates WITHIN a party and pure politics. If you review the Obama/Clinton debates they had an entirely different tone than the general election.

Anyone the Democrats put up after Junior Bush and his antics looked great.

The Republicans now are the party that everyone is laughing at with their motley crew of candidates. Everyone on their list from Ron Paul to Michelle Bachmann is just fodder for Bill Maher and his great satire.

In 2007 (January), the CBS offered this table of candidates for the Democratic nomination for President and their favorable ratings...

Clinton 43%
Edwards 34%
Gore 32%
Obama 28%
Kerry 22%
Biden 9%
Richardson 7%
Dodd 4%
Kucinich 4%
Vilsack 4%

Interesting in hindsight as to where they are now, and what occurred. As I said, primaries are interesting things internally within a party

Interesting stuff, indeed.

It will be fascinating to see the early primaries results and who drops out. Eventually, the R's top 2 should have a series of debates like Clinton and Obama did.

Romney and Newt? Although, I fully expect the nominee to be Romney.

I Agree....some or one will drop after the first primary and then one or more in each one after. Most of these folks never expected to get the nomination but need this exposure to increase visibility within the party.
