Im a little scared that we are only going to replace one evil with another.
I wouldn't go so far as to call him good. Sure, he inherited a load of crap. But his administration signed off on the patriot act, brought us the DHS and the TSA and other unconstitutional nonsense. Yes, he was a serious step up from the previous guy, and a hella lot better than the turkey that replaced him, but I sure would think hard before I called him "good".GWB was a damn good president. History will prove that (if we can keep the libs from writing history). Obama scares half of his own party.
left, right, left, right. We need someone more centric and HONEST to step up and run this country.
I was reading an article that touched a serious nerve. Never before in 19th/20th century history has a democratic president lost a second term except for one: Jimmy Carter.
The author pointed out that there were three main issues surrounding Jimmy Carter and all three of those issues stopped him from winning his second term. Those issues were 1) High inflation; 2) High unemployment; 3) a charismatic Republican opponent. The author argues that without all three of these issues present, Barrack Obama is more likely to win than to lose his second term.
I tend to agree with his logic. Our main concern should be finding a charismatic leader to run against him since inflation is inevitable and unemployment is only really improving in the government sector. At this point, the GOP has done a piss-poor job of doing what will be required to throw our current dictator out. I almost wonder if they have been so converted to Neoconservatism (which is a nice name for closet socialists) that they are unable to choose such a leader. I keep hearing the sad old names they paraded around back in 2008 and I must say I have little confidence Obama will get beat.
