For the record, Obama will lose the 2012 election. He will be a one-term President. These are the reasons why.
Obama 2012 – 101 reasons why he will lose.

Unemployment after 4 years of Keynesian economics is still over 7%. If Americans are out of work so will be the President.
US debt is over 14 trillion dollars and counting. He tripled the debt. We had a party and our children will have to pay.
We are still fighting an undeclared war in the Middle East with American men and women on the ground taking casualties with no end in sight. This really upsets me. It is not Obama’s fault but America should only fight declared wars, because undeclared wars are a never ending battle.
The budget is not yet balanced and 60 percent of the money goes to entitlements.
Change did not come.
Obama looks exhausted. As a leader he physically looks like life is a chore. He looks too skinny and will lose some votes based on his look. I know it is superficial but people vote on this.
Inflation is picking up. He is allowing the currency to be inflated.
Health care is not fixed. Not his fault. The Republicans only allow a watered down version to get ,through. Yet on the other hand, my thinking is there are better ways to fix health care than the Obama plan, such as a negative income tax, free market and light regulation such as not allowing people to be dropped for pre-existing conditions.
The housing market is far from recovered.
China is rising faster than the USA.
US jobs are going overseas.
Pro family Americans question Obama’s core values.
He accepted the Nobel peace prize for nothing.
Still no real business experience, only an academic.
Liberals feel betrayed as he did not follow through with transforming America with a liberal vision. Too much compromise.
Increased taxes.
Half the country is conservative.
After the initial honeymoon with international leaders, the global community respects him only for his title rather than his ability to lead.
Tea party.
Herman Cain, the conservative Obama.
His party turns against him.
2012 is the apocalypse?
Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Alex Jones, Drudge Report, National Review, Freeman, Greg, Mankiw, American Thinker
Wikileaks did not help the American image.
Jimmy Carter lite. He was elected to restore trust in the office of the Presidency, but ineffective as a leader.
Does not understand economics. Never read the classics from Adam Smith to Hayek to Milton Friedman. Filled with a mix of Keynesian and populous ideas.
Too many vacations at critical times.
Too many bailouts of big US businesses.
Special interest president.
Mysterious past from which passport he used to got to Pakistan to college records, to fake social security number and drug use.
Questionable lavish trips for his family
Some surprises will come out right before the 2012 election.
Expansion of government and unaffordable entitlement programs.
US military is being poorly run. Valuable resources are being wasted.
Well rehearsed for speeches, but lacks charisma.
Was basically an anti-Bush blame candidate. But after 4 years of failed policies it will be hard to blame Bush.
Continues setting presidential golf records.
Putin embarrasses him.
An Asian dictator embarrasses him.
A Middle Eastern Emir embarrasses him.
Chavez makes him look bad.
Lacks support in the congress which is a reflection of the sentiment of the US. If reelected he will be a 4 year lame duck president.
Rebuilding Iraq, but not our roads and schools.
Freedom is decreasing and the constitution has taken a back seat to government central control, for example the TSA or potential regulation of the Internet.
Too many people drawing metaphors to 1984 (the book, not the year). Big brother is alluded to in many headlines.
Comedians will begin to roast him and the youth will lose respect for him.
Food, healthcare, education and oil increases or at least agri-inflation, have you been to the grocery store lately?
Illegal immigration problem never solved.
Drug problem never solved or not even a dent in it.
Violent crimes are many fold higher than other nations.
America is slipping more as an economic leader and relative standard of living is in decline.
Blatant unrepentant globalist, putting America second.
Minor irritants for the US citizens like body scanners more paperwork and forms.
States are in crisis and the is only the beginning and Obama has done little to help.
Latest census shifted the political balance in swing states.
Was not a landslide in the first election.
Trade deficit is worst.
Many people I personally know that crossed lines have told me it was a mistake.
Lacks the combination of vision and ability to implement, like Ronald Reagan. He talks about united the parties instead of doing it.
America is too divided.
The U.S. trade deficit with China increased by 26% last year.
Independent voter and minor parties are shifting their alliances away from the Democrats.
Obama is getting too much advice from George Clooney.
South Park will produce some parodies that will hit home at Obama’s weaknesses.
Substance wins over symbolism the second time around.
Double dip recession at the end of 2012 could derail any chance of an Obama victory.
Obama is no Roosevelt because opposition to Roosevelt usually conceded for the greater good. The opposite is happening in the USA. The Obama presidency is polarizing the country.
Arizona, Colorado, Ohio, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Missouri, Oregon, Washington ,Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Illinois, California, Nevada, are bankrupt and cannot meet their obligatory payments. The last drips of Federal money will expose the dire economic situation of these states.
Majority of the polls currently show an Obama loss in the 2012 election.
Republicans learned from their mistakes and will not elect someone like McCain to represent them again. That is the four pillars of the republicans are: social and religious conservatives, fiscal conservatives, imperialists and war hawks and moderate Republicans who can cross party lines. McCain was a War hawk conservative with some social ideas. Not a combination needed during an economic crisis. You need a fiscal and religious conservative that appeals to moderates. Hawks do not swing elections unless there is a real Peal Harbor.
Exceptions were too high for the first term.
Stagflation.
Florida the key swing state demographically is changing more conservative. Whoever wins Florida will have a good chance at the White House in 2012.
Arizona, Texas, Utah, Georgia and South Carolina all Republican states picked up electorates.
Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York Pennsylvania all democratic states lost electorates.
It is showdown of Big Government vs the US citizens, I am pulling for the Americans.
Vegas and psychics and predictors of the sort are edging towards a Republican win.
Barack broke the promise of raising taxes for capital gains and dividends for the top percentage of wage earners.
Broken promise of double funding for after school programs.
Centralize lobbying and ethics reporting for US citizens to view, another broken promise.
Phase out exemptions for high earning tax payers. Another broken promise.
Repeal Bush tax cuts for the top earners, another Obama unfulfilled promise.
Obama promised to end income taxes for seniors making less than 50k. This was a huge issue in the sunbelt swing states, Obama did not do this.
A score of other broken promises too many to list. This does not help his credibility.
Is Obama Keynesian or Kenyan? To date there is still some confusion in some people’s minds.
Much of the Hollywood crowd that were his darlings in the 2008 Presidential elections are not as zealous in the 2012 Presidential elections.
Republicans have a real candidate in 2012.
Has an extreme anti-life voting record.
Obama is soft on crime.
Relief for the middle class never materialized and many stimulus injections of cash were temporary and favoring a few rather than the majority who will pay with taxes.
Obama wants a European style social economy which does not fit the American spirit. Obama is not a socialist, rather more follows the French economic model than the American.
Extension of Bush foreign policy, pax America. The sun never sets on the union jack (make the world England), I mean stars and bars.
Unemployment benefits have run out of federal money for chronically unemployed and people underemployed and out of work are looking for new ideas and answers rather than government money and temporary fixes.
Many good ideas proposed in 2008, but few implemented even with a Democratic majority in the congress. It is really hard to be Obama, as there is a lot of political infighting and most of the US money is being consumed my entitlement spending and a pittance is for these new interesting ideas.
Has done nothing to curb the close ties between the military business infrastructure and government spending.
Bailed out Wall Street not Main street. I thought he said things would be different. Most jobs are created by small companies, close to 70% as well as innovation, but the large dinosaurs got the funds.
Alex Conant, a GOP election campaign advisor said President Barack Obama cannot be a bipartisan candidate in 2012, like he was in the last election because American voters know him now as something different. He will lose many center and independent voters.
After 25 years of the Bush and Clinton dynasties, Americans have less tolerance for legacy candidates and more focused on results. That is just because they know someone, no longer is a good reason to reelect them.
Traditionally candidate who spend more money on election bids win. This is a reasonably strong correlation. For example, Democrats spent $956,049,411 in 2008 while the Republicans spent $792,186,627. This is contrast with 2004 where the Republicans spent $875,704,006 and the Democrats spent $710,416,993. It is not just that when a campaign has more money it is an indicator of real sentiment, but money and marketing does influence people. At this point Republicans have the momentum and mount an all out attempt to dethrone Obama in 2012 as they see it as an attempt to save the USA.
Crazy indicators that could mean nothing or something, such height of the Candidates, Obama being 6’1” would lose against Mit Romney at 6’4”. Many of the crazy indicators point to an Obama lose in 2012. Hair also counts, and Obama’s salt and pepper thin hair is no competition for the flowing hair of Sarah Palin’s for example.
I will not vote for him and I usually vote for winners (not always). I have an even better track record with predicting elections. Sometimes I am a sucker for lost causes.

All the above is well and good and to quote Abraham Lincoln

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Obama campaigned on being a unifier but the end result is the nation is horribly divided. Talk is one thing but a real understanding how to fix things is another.

In the end Obama will lose the 2012 US presidential election because elections are won or lost on economics. The New Deal I did not work and the New Deal II did not either. President Obama does not understand how money and markets work.

The truth sure hurts sometimes

seems he's made use of Entitlements he wasn't entitled to!

Yes, this picture is worth thousands of words.

IMO, not based on any fact, if I, or any other Caucasian poster had posted the same thing using negro characters, we would have been tagged racist, reprimanded, suspended or banned and the picture would have been pulled.

Why, is it acceptable that a Caucasian woman, even if she is a cartoon character, who looks like they are a person with Downs can be posted and not a hair rises in disgust?

Is it acceptance that minorities are allowed to degrade those Caucasians with disabilities?

I find this picture disgusting.

Willing2,

I agree with your observation, that does look like a Downs character. I don't know what it is depicting though, I feel silly but I don't get the cartoon at all?

Birthers is the name used to slam anyone who questions Obozos birth place. The rest you should be able to figure out from there.

The cartoon is a slam against "whites" who may question his BC.

And yes...racist and disgusting!

It is comforting to see that some of these outrageous bald faced lies are being exposed

I don't pledge my "allegiance" to any flag....
guess that makes me anti-american too.

Sunshine_in_Florida



Would you care to put some money where your mouth is? Want to bet?

If Obama is going to lose, who is he going to lose to? Surly not Mit Romney.

Maybe he will "lose" some other way, but it won't be in the election.
(Unless they come up with a better candidate to appose him.)

Like Ron Paul.

Good for you.

It is time to realize that we live in a very small world.
Can we really live in peace if we pledge our allegiance to a country that supports and practices aggression against third world countries and tirelessly passes laws to deprive citizens of their rights and freedom?

I will pledge my allegiance to freedom. Does American stand for freedom? It is American who must pledge their allegiance to the people and to the people's freedom.

The flag is just another lie bought to us by the corporation which disguise's itself as the government of the United States of America".

Amen to that.

As far as the question of Obama's background, I have to admit there are sure a lot of strange things going on there. I think that the truth about it might really surprise and shock a lot of people, and could be completely different than you might think.

I tend to feel that he will not be voted out of office.

Romney was at the Bilderberg gathering in Va. in May...
Obama wasn't or at least not spotted.

Which ever will be the next president has already been decided...
but go and vote by all means if it makes ya feel better about it all.

That is interesting...But Obama could be the deepest kind of undercover operative. Also, his support may be coming from elsewhere. He didn't get there on his own. But you could be right.

There is a lot of scary propaganda going around about him, so who knows what will happen.

Fancy pledging ones allegiance to a flag.

Here in Northern we are coming up to the 12th July. This is the date that Loyalists/Protestants celebrate the Victory of King William of Orange [A Dutchman]over King James [A Catholic]at the Battle of The Boyne.

On The Night of The 11th of July The Loyalists/Protestants will burn bonfires all over Northern Ireland,some of these bonfires will be on the main Thoroughfare and most will Have a Flag of The Republic of Ireland at the top of the bonfire to be Burned. Those with real hate shall include Football Jerseys of Glasgow Celtic a Scottish Soccer Team that is mostly associated with The Catholic Community in Scotland.

And we are supposed to be civilized people.

Flags, Organized Religion and really ignorant people what a mess

We are Talking All Christian here......How mad and backward thinking is that

Yes Folks We Have Rednecks in Ireland as well.

Lady, love ya dearly, but the flag is a symbol of our country..

"..and to the republic for which it stands..."

Are you sure you stand by your statement? I can't believe that! Not from your posts!

The flag DOES NOT represent the govt! it represents the ideals our nation was founded on!

It is a pledge to defend her (our country) from "ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC..." even a govt that seeks to destroy her from within!

Look who's being PC all of the sudden! I never would have guessed, Willing.

That being said, I don't see that cartoon as having a thing to do with anyone with down's syndrome.

Good -- Okay THEN what right does the government have using our flag AND PRETENDING to care about we the people?

They have taken steps to empower themselves to the point that they can arrest and kill anyone they decide is a threat to them. (Not a threat to the country... to THEM.)

If I fly an American Flag, for me, it represent FREEDOM. It does not represent my allegiance to what I feel is a corrupt government.

My allegiance is to FREEDOM. Not to the corporation of the United States.

Its a piece of cloth SS.

If there has to be a Flag lets have a flag of Human Decency.

I do not need a flag to worship so to speak to be what I am.

Believe me I have seen Hatred between people carrying their different flags...I am talking about supposedly Christians and both born within a few hundred yards of each other.

As Dear Old George Carlin once said...

"Flags are Symbols and they should be left to the Symbol People"

My experience of people who adore flags have little between their ears.
