I doubt it.
To be honest, I don’t think so. In fact, I don’t really think that a democrat will get in office for a while. Obama got in for two reasons:
- Throughout 2012, he’s been the reformist. Reformists tend to have advantages in times like these.
- He has an incredible gift of speech. Sometimes, the content of his speeches are irrelevant, has he has the incredible ability to charm people with his tongue.
But let’s pretend like we’re in a state of nuetrality for a moment. Let’s say that the last president has had an effect that left us without a fixed opinion on politics. Then let’s listen to Obama’s policies, and think about them a bit.
Obama’s Stance on Firearms
Starting out with Obama’s gun policies, well throughout his campaign, he’s been on “both sides”, hasn’t he? He has been telling the NRA and such groups that he was pro-gun, while he has been telling organizations such as the Brady campaign that he was anti. To find out which of these claims is honest, we must look at his voting record.
- Barack Obama voted for an Illinois State Senate bill to ban and confiscate “assault weapons”.
- Barack Obama voted to allow lawsuits designed to bankrupt the firearms industry.
- Barack Obama wants to re-impose the Gun Ban created by Willam Clinton.
- Barack Obama voted to ban almost all rifle ammunition.
- Barack Obama has endorsed a 500% increase in the federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition.
- Barack Obama has endorsed a complete ban on handgun ownership.
From these facts, we can come to a reasonable conclusion that Barack Obama is not pro-gun, as he claimed in a letter addressed to NRA members. If he manages to get congress to agree with him on any law with a tight restrictions, American gun owners would not be pleased. When 2012 comes, many gun owners may be swayed by his policies.
Obama’s Energy Policies
Obama’s energy policies are the worst. In a speech in San Francisco, Barack Obama publicly stated that he had energy policies that would tax the policies. According to him, people would be permitted to build coal energy plants, but “they will go bankrupt” due to taxes on greenhouse gas emissions. Considering that coal power plants emit massive amounts of greenhouse gases, and also that Obama has bluntly stated that his policies will bankrupt the coal industry, there’s not much of a chance that the coal industry will remain intact.
Roughly 50% of the nation relies on coal for their energy, which means that 50% of the nation would be powerless. Of course, the removal of power would have a domino effect on all jobs. People who work with computers, machinery, etc. would be left jobless. Of course, people who work in offices, such as managers and CEOs use computers quite a bit. If they are unable to work, everyone of their workers would lose their jobs as well. If a CEO of a fairly large company goes bankrupt, the people in local areas wouldn’t be the only people to be affected. All products would cease to be sold, and this would cause inflation, and more dependence on foreign goods. In the end, there’s very few people who wouldn’t be affected by this. The environment is an issue, but the economy is by a bigger concern.
Obviously, the outcome of an election depends on the effect of the previous president. That is the very reason why John McCain lost, and it is also the very reason why the democratic cantidate will lose if Obama manages to pass his policies. In times of trial, the reformist always wins. If all is well, there is no need for reform. For those of you who will be the senior of society someday, you will not soon forget your transfer from the fireplace into the fire. I don’t see Obama or the democrats getting in office for quite a while after Obama’s term. In the meantime, we can’t do much except for hope for the best, and watch as events unfold. In 2012, make the right decision. Don’t let us repeat the mistakes we made on November 4, 2008.

If the election were held today, he\’d win in a landslide, bigger than the one in November 2008. He\’d certainly win every state he won then, and probably pick up a few others like Missouri, and possibly ND, Georgia and, yes, even Arizona. . .For those who don\’t think he will be re-elected, have you seen his approval ratings; and the incredibly low ratings for Republicans in general? In 2012, he\’s a shoo-in if the economy just picks up a little and we\’re out of Iraq. . .and why not. He\’s probably the best president we\’ve had since Harry Truman. Reagan, you say? Overrated!! And the guy who started the philosophy that got us in to the mess we\’re in today. . .
Nick you are crazy. All this guy has done is spend money. Anyone can do that. His Ideas are the same liberal ideas that have been thrown around for sixty years, no change at all. If you think he is the best president in the last sixty years you are nuts. Go drink some cool aid Nick
i voted for obama but he hasnt done anything he said and in fact he lied he said he would not hire any lobbyist he turned around and hired dozens of em
The only 3 ways Obama gets relected are:
1- He gets a “9-11″ moment. Bin Laden is captured under his presidency or he handles a national crisis very well.
2- The Republicans nominates another boring, unattractive white male.
3- He creates 17 millions new jobs in 2 years.
Obama barely won 7 important states. A good and charismatic Republican candidate can take those states back.
The way its looking right now, Obama’s numbers are falling, people are starting to think he an incompetent president. When that happens, Obama can start packing his bags.
Obama in my opinion will be re-elected by at least a 44% margin if its a plural vote.Obama just got in office and we are being to quick to judge as the fact we gave Bush 7 years till me admitted he screwed up and even refused to listen to Kucincih when impeachment was on the table for Bush.Now i think Obama will be re-elected by a large margin if Dick Cheney or Sarah Palin gets the nomination.He may have to fight for it if its someone like Huckabee gets it.But i think Obama will be in office for the full 8 years as i know he can fix the crap Bush got us into.
1. Obama is a socialist at least, if not a neo-facist. If you understand those terms you will not respond back with tirades of racisms. A facist allows private enterprise but the govt dictaqtes how the private enterprise operates. I assume I need not define what a socialist is.
2. Obama has consistently displayed no empathy to our miltary – I cite as an example the Nov 5th Fort Hood massacre where he was into his speech of more than two minutes thanking this one, and high five-ing that one, and talking about the disinfranchised Indians, before he announced the massacre at Fort Hood. He has consistently announced reductions in military spending — ah, could someone dig up Chamberlain and make him have a chat with Obama on that one.
3. Because of Obama, Iran will get nukes. He sold out to Russia, but renigning on the nuclear shield in eastern Europe, for which he got nothing from Russia in return. We will be attacked again, it will be far greater than 9/11 and this time the cause will be our own weakness to recognize an obvious threat.
Obama will not be re-elected, but of course, and I do not say this cavalierly, but, half the country may be blown up that there is less to vote for him.
