To be honest, I would prefer to see Barrack Obama do a third term, given the alternatives waiting in the wings.
Barack Obama's Failed Presidency

- Start date
I'll take the two waiting in the wings over Obama any day.
He was the worst ever.
In Defense of Obama
By Paul Krugman
Obama was indeed naive: He faced scorched-earth Republican opposition from Day One, and it took him years to start dealing with that opposition realistically. Furthermore, he came perilously close to doing terrible things to the U.S. safety net in pursuit of a budget Grand Bargain; we were saved from significant cuts to Social Security and a rise in the Medicare age only by Republican greed, the GOP's unwillingness to make even token concessions.
But now the shoe is on the other foot: Obama faces trash talk left, right and center – literally – and doesn't deserve it. Despite bitter opposition, despite having come close to self-inflicted disaster, Obama has emerged as one of the most consequential and, yes, successful presidents in American history. His health reform is imperfect but still a huge step forward – and it's working better than anyone expected. Financial reform fell far short of what should have happened, but it's much more effective than you'd think. Economic management has been half-crippled by Republican obstruction, but has nonetheless been much better than in other advanced countries. And environmental policy is starting to look like it could be a major legacy.

Nobody liked Lincoln either now he is a saint
Judgments of history are and should be left to
time not the emotions of the immediate.

When people are looking for a "dog to kick".................who better than the President?
I'd have to give that vote to Andrew Jackson. But I do agree that his speeches and performances are getting old. Tired of hearing his voice.
Fir Clitford...Here is a scoop. With all the cop killings a state of emergency can be declared and the election cancelled.
Obama is staging a false flag to stay Prez.
