DOES BARACK OBAMA REALLY WANT TO WIN?


Does the President really want a second term? One would think that if Barack Obama truly wanted to be reelected he would’ve created a record to run on; rather than a record to run from.

After four years of his Presidency two things have come into fruition. The President never really had any intentions of delivering on his campaign promises. And the other is that the hope and change that Barack Obama promised us is not the hope and change that we’ve received.

When President Obama won the Presidency four years ago he did it with a wide and diverse coalition of voters. He won about 43% of the White vote, over 95% of the Black vote, and 78% of the Jewish vote. Those are some very impressive numbers.

Additionally, he overwhelmingly won the youth vote, independents, undecided voters, and the Hispanic vote by large margins. Barack Obama ran as a new kind of Democrat. He portrayed himself as a champion of the middle class and ran on a moderate platform. The American people saw Obama’s hope and change message as a positive new direction and believed him when he said there were no blue states or red states.

Healthcare bill. check

Gov. stimulus to green energy sector. check
Cut taxes on low and middle income. check

Now you can definetly argue that the pres.'s policies are wrong, or that they don't work. But any argument that the pres. has not been fighting for the platform he won election on is absolute crud.

Healthcare bill. check Will knock 20 million of insurance and cannot be funded as promised. Failure

Wind down Iraq and Afghan. check
He is running from Iraq and leaving it in a state of turmoil. Shouldnt be proud of that. Failure

Get Bin Laden. check Only at the urging of others. I'm sure they were probably related. Ratted out the Seal group. Failure

Gov. stimulus to green energy sector. check
Biggest loss of the entire stimulus package. Failure

Cut taxes on low and middle income. check All he did was leave the Bush tax cuts in tact, only because he knew the election was coming. Not his idea. Failure
Not much of a record to be proud of is it? You must be one of the 47%.
Wake up your being used!

Healthcare bill-Let's see...he promised transparency and to work across the aisles or some other BS intended to include republicans input which never happened.

Troops were required to be out of Iraq by 2011 due to an agreement Bush had signed. Afghanistan is worse then ever, Taliban, al qaida growing due to the soft combat policies imposed by obama admin.

Don't remember him promising before election stimulus to green energy. It was more along the lines of the US becoming energy independant. He is a believer in climate change but all indications were the goal was to clean up what we have instead of financing uncharted territory.

He may have cut taxes but it's just a shuffling of money that he did. Income taxes may have gone down but taxes and fees were imposed elsewhere to make up for this through Obamacare. 12 out of the 23 are directly hitting the middle class.

"Get Bin Laden. check"

This turned out to be a hugh cluster. Bin Laden's dead and so are some members of the SEAL Team thanks to Obama. Like the mother of one of them recently said, Obama put a target on her son's back. Never ever should the name of the team (SEAL Team 6) been revealed.
Not only that but the Obama admin made no arrangements regarding the security of the informants and now the man who was instumental in positively identifying Bin Laden is sitting in prison in Pakistan.

I really don't know how to take this post.Is it asking if he personally wants to be re elected,or is it asking if he should want to be re elected? In my opinion he would do anything to anyone to get re elected,but in real life in say, education, a failing grade point average will cause expulsion.A president can fail miserably and keep his job if he can convince enough people to vote him back into office.
