I think you are "hope"ing something that won't happen.... He will be re-elected. I'm not saying I support him or not, I'm just stating what is most likely to happen. That being said, he did in his term what was necessary, had he let the banks or auto manufacturers fail, we would be in much further financial troubles than not cutting the deficit in half.

Sadly I am afraid that it is thinking like this which has created our " world owes me a living " entitlement class where our government rewards both personal & business failure + irresponsibility while punishing personal & business success + responsibility

Thanks to Obama it is not only okay for people & business to continue to fail and adopt bad business & personal practices.....it is actually encouraged so people & business will forever be " beholding " to our Liberal Democrat Politicians:-({|=

Look at it like this, most of the "evil 1%" you guys always discuss, work in finance . These "evil" people allow those who choose not to work to collect food stamps and SS because they can afford to pay taxes. the top 20% of the country own 80%. Let the banks fail, you wipe out all financial wealth, the markets crash, you do not have enough tax revenue to pay debt obligations, then you are no long FDIC insured. I'd love to see you prove this point wrong, it has happened before...

Obama is so powerful that he has been able to accomplish in less than 3 years what all the other evil libtards have been unable to do in the previous 233 years! He has single handedly ruined this country (largely because he is not from here). The Mayans are right. So is the Nostraldumbass dude. The Big O is the dark knight.

in related news the sky is falling and hyperboly is dead.

Is Obama hoping that enough American Voters have such poor memories that they have forgotten about Obama's statement that he would be a one term President if he did not cut the deficit in 1/2 before the end of his first term ?
