Other than drinking alot of $10 coffee, and being well liked on 'The View', what has he acomplished?


I guess everything is relative. Compared to the three presidents before him, Obama's modest accomplishments are quite impressive. And, of course, he did kill Bin Laden. Given the weak opposition being touted by the Republicans he should win easily. In fact if his complexion was a little lighter he would win in a landslide.

It's way to early too say, IMO. It could be a tight race or a landslide in either direction. Until everyone plays their cards who really knows.

I would not rule out Herman Cain, he is moving up in the polls and just possibly give President Obama a real run for the White House.

Because he - or ANYONE - is not Barack Hussain Obama.
Didn't you post a short while ago that the left always claims racism when he is criticized? Anyone who feels it's necessary to insert his full middle name into a conversation is deliberately playing that card. Add in the birth certificate smear,the 'he's a Muslim' shenanigans ... they only prove the left's point.

What is wrong with mentioning a person's full name? Is he ashamed of it? Are you?

When you accuse me of playing the race card for calling Barack Hussain 0bama Barack Hussain 0bama, you prove my point that anything said about him - including, sadly, even his proper, full name - that is not total slavish worship, is racist.

Are you really that beholden to the first Affirmative Action President?

Yukon Jack, some noted people go by three names, eg. George Bernard Shaw, William Jennings Bryan, which I imagine was their choice, possibly for a good reason. For obvious reasons a John Smith might decide to go by John Bartholemew Smith. In the case of Barack Obama, he is the only Barack Obama most of us are familiar with and he is definitely the most well known Barack Obama, so to insert his middle name, is just plain unnecessary and would lead to suspician of ulterior motives. Do you refer to Bill Clinton as William Jefferson Clinton?

All true, but claiming that calling the president by his full name is racist is nothing less than the insane rambling of a chip-on-the-shoulder, insecure and REALLY racist person.

We also refer to others by their full names, albeit using acronyms, e.g. FDR and JFK.

Now if I did that and refer to the President (politely omittig his middle name) as BO, this same petty person would cry foul, claiming that I am racist, implying that the President is Body Odour.

If anyone feels like Obama won't be re-elected in 2012, they can put their money where their mouth is. Future markets. Intrade contracts are well above 50 right now for an Obama re-election in 2012, in fact it's at 61.3, which means that 61.3% of their market believes this event will happen.

The blind 0bama worshippers have no clue, but us older folks remember the soaring approval rating of George Herbert Walker Bush 18 months before the 1992 Presidential election.

Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it.

The Obama worshipers have the conviction to put more than their anonymous mouth on the line.
