I would not wish a third term upon him. The job really has to suck with the congress he has to work with. I don’t think I could even take one term working with all of those self serving morons.
Ah libsmasher, we don’t hate the country or want to destroy it and neither do you. We just disagree on what is best for the country and which way is the right way forward.
Let’s take just one issue: tax cuts for the wealthy (aka “job creators”) or increasing tax cuts and child care credits for the poor and middle class. Looking at objective facts, recent Republican administrations and trickle down economics hasn’t worked (companies don’t hire and make more product because they have extra cash sitting around, they hire more people and make more products when there is a demand for them) and has led to economic downturns and increases in deficit spending and debt. Bill Clinton and Obama years have been years of recovery and, with Clinton, a government surplus. Tax cuts for the poor and middle class stimulate spending and when people spend and buy more, companies make more to meet the demand and that means hiring more people, giving more people the ability to spend which increases demand, etc.
Other than the Great Depression/ WW2, consumer spending has led us out of every recession.
Yes, and it is too late to go back to the start of his term and get along with him so we could do this sooner. The disaster Republican party made sure that these numbers took as long as possible and were as low as possible. Lets thank them in November by putting people who don’t think government is the problem in their place. We have seen what effective leaders can do against people who want to stop them. Lets give the next one a chance to see how good we can make this country?
Powell also says he didn’t advise her to use a non-gov server (he did), and he didn’t contact her right away (he did). This was after he said those two trailers were deadly nuclear death trailers (they weren’t), and some time after he said the My Lai Massacre was no big deal (it was).
Political parties and their belief that they have complete control of the economy, especially when the quantity of legislation is continually declining in each new congress.Change is the only constant, yet we still have a political framework that is based on one of two “major” parties (the number of register voter has been trending downward for decades) being in control, determined that their ideology is the only steadfast, trustworthy one, for all time and circumstance. Love of country has been replaced by love of ideology. These ideologies have actually changed over time, but voters hold a snapshot of the time when that ideology closely aligned with theirs. The parties and individuals ideologies may no longer align, but, taking the downhill path, no one takes the time to do the critical thinking to see if they are still being served by that ideology. We become part of a tribe that lets its leadership do their thinking for them. Our political framework — with two opposing parties — seems like something an enemy of the US would design to weaken us and prevent us from making the best decisions. The founders warned us about the dangers of parties and the evil influence of money in politics, yet we contemptuously ignore that wisdom.Ray Kroc said “None of us is as good as all of us”. I believe, as the founders did that the superposition of ideas from independent representatives, elected by a proportional/IRV system would work out better solutions than any fractional ideology representative, elected by a “winner take all” system ever could. Having a true representative that most have voted for and dedicated to serving the whole public not just some faction seems intuitively obvious.

Obama has no time to run again, he only has a few months to take away the last of our guns.

Its time to put another right winger into office to steal and destroy any gains the middle class may have earned under Obama.
