Obama a One Term President


News reports, although never realistic based on push polls, can not be trusted when you insert reality or simple common sense into the scenario. Polls are out asking if President Barack Obama will be a one term president. I’m just thinking that the President still has two years left to his term but I’m funny like that wondering how this can even be realistically polled or predicted?

Alzheimer’s is rampant in the electorate given the last election results! We all know people are fickle and will vote their wallet and this fact is true because everyone forgot how screwed we all were under the leadership of George W. Bush. That is why Obama won the White House over Republican candidate John McCain in the first place! One has to ask if the voting public are sheep that will run the first time someone screams wolf? This past elections proves that theory given the fear factor of the Tea Party candidates that actually won and all of the democrat’s that were tossed out of office. Common sense lost and fear won.

Even Congressman Alan Grayson in Florida’s 8th Congressional district, a die hard for the people candidate was ousted. There was no common sense fiscally to understand his ousting at the polls knowing that he was a closet conservative budget watch dog on spending that just happened to be a liberal democrat.

Politically, it will look amazing in the history books on all of the accomplishments that President Barack Obama has been able to do in just his first two years as president. Obama passed Health Care Reform and when you look at history, every president since Harry Truman has tried to pass some form of national health care reform and none have succeeded. Obama passed banking and investment reform of Wall Street that cleaned up the mess that was disguised as pure capitalism but really was a house of magic where accounting tricks and mirrors were only the beginning to undermine the investments of all Americans. A banking industry where anyone that was breathing could qualify for a mortgage and bingo the house of cards in the housing market collapsed.

President Obama passed credit card reform and dealt a blow to the unscrupulous banking industry that gouged consumers simply because they could. Turning the employment numbers around since his predecessor, George W. Bush, whom is apparently the “New Ronald Reagan”, from a constant loss to positive yet small growth in the private sector was not a simple thing to do and it took leadership.

I find it amazing that it is even suggested to think that Obama will be a one term president. Yes, he was dealt a severe loss with the recent election but his presidency is only two years old. The party of “NO!” now has the House of Congress but they do not have the Senate. And the only real loser’s in this past election is the gridlock and bull that the GOP will unleash to stop any progress to help the people of America to not get out of a recession.

When I hear the crack heads in the GOP wanting to touch the third rail of Social Security, reducing benefits, cutting or even eliminating benefits for some, I’m reminded of my own advancing age. That brings up the “Get Out of my Pension” factor. AKA the GOP. That third rail burns anyone that touches it and that will be the reason President Obama will see a second term. When rich politicians touch seniors that vote in larger than life numbers based on the only income they have coming in then the third rail candidates always lose! Go GOP and crack heads.

As a political writer, the GOP taking the House of Representatives is a godsend. I’m wondering where all of these fiscally conservative people were when our nation went to war on two fronts and saw no problem with no bid contracts? Same folks want grandma and grandpa’s pension to bail out the deficit but see no problem with war profiteering? Go GOP!!!

Of course not. It's absurd. Think of everything that could happen in two years. The economy could collapse or it could come roaring back. We might catch bin Laden or suffer another major terrorist attack. Israel might bomb Iran, or vice versa. Palin could become the Republican Persidential nominee or she could be wiped off the political map by a scandal. Health care reform will start to take effect; the public may come to see it as a triumph or as a fiasco.

And there's always the completely unexpected.

Sure, Obama has suffered a drop in popularity. So had Reagan and Clinton at the equivalent point in their first terms. They both got re-elected.

The House Republicans are already plotting to undo this.....which may well turn out to be a mistake.

Mat are you still on the Obama bandwagon? All this talk about him being Bush-lite, no different from a republican president, not trustworthy to stand up to the party of NO, all these things that make me look twice at his first 2 years and fear his next 2 years. Talk me down sweetie, tell me he is the right man for this time in history.

He'll be fine Sue. If ever there was a politician that can move things that seemed impossible...(Health Care) then it is this President. Billy boy Clinton was a dazzling political wonder but Obama has that and more.

Hang tough sis.

He's a political thug who bought every vote to get this POS healthcare bill past against the wishes of the majority of the american people.

Thank god we smartened up and at least took the house away from the dems in this last round of voting.

you are totally reading the voters wrong anon, as usual the righties think only of themselves. The voters wanted dems and Obama to go farther LEFT and when they did not the moron voters voted against their best interests as usual and put the thugs back in. They will be sorry by this time next year you can count on it!!
