You are the hater. Unlike you who is drawn to the personality, pup is against the policies that are drowning this country in debt, not the man. He is a charming man. Unfortunately, he was not ready for prime time and the undisciplined socialists he has surrounded himself with are hell bent to turn the economic miracle of the United States into Sweden, without the homogeneous population to make it work.As for 2012, they will probably be able to run anyone and win because it will be anyone but Obama by that time. Keep hating and by all means, don’t examine the facts. [/quote]
Right on Zeit. Obama is a one-termer, but I wonder if people will actually run back to the GOP in 2012? It seems to me that if events continue on their present course we might find such widespread dissatisfaction with both parties that the ground will be fertile for the emergence of a viable third party (or parties). What do you think? Remember what Perot was able to do in 1991 when he took advantage of the vacuum between Clinton and Bush? This could happen again, especially if unemployment hangs in double digits for the next few years and the majority of voter start to realize that (a) Obama doesn’t have the answer and has actually made things worse and (b) the GOP has no better plan to fix what ails us. This could be one of the most exciting times politically in our country’s history. To paraphrase Rahm Emanuel, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” If conditions in the next few years don’t allow us to neuter the Dems and the GOP, nothing will.
