Re: Obama the One Term President -

Three - He doesn't listen to the peoples needs! He continues to cram the health care bill down congresses' throat but they dont want it. The main priority is Jobs. How do people pay for their health insurances without jobs? How do they eat with out jobs? It is the top prioty but Obama is too stubborn to focus on jobs more and deliver the results.
Four - Congress will have more Republicans, because right now democrats have the majority, and based on the latest polls congresses approval rating is very very low
Five - Regardless of Democrats majority, they are competent. Based on the fact that they fail to pass many bills because they cannot work as a team instead they work in small fractions of "blue dog democrats"(conservative democrats), Moderates, Super-liberals and others with their own agenda. Whereas the Republicans work as a team by saying no. The small republican minority is capable of killing all the bills related to health care. To be a successful politian you must pass the bills you want, or atleast eliminate the bills you do not agree on!
Six - Obama's approval rating is at around 50 percent. Last month is was below 50 percent, Obama's approval rating will affect the 2010 congressional election.
Seven - The voters a irrational, they really want change so they will get rid of obama as soon as they can. Obama is really the transition president that is made to fail. Because the economy was soo messed up by the mortgage crises left by the clinton and bush administration. The middle eastern was continues to eat up americas resources and reputation.
Obama is made to fail, regardless if you like his ideas or not. He is really a sacrificial lamb. A Jimmy Carter.

REFUTATIONS
1. Lack of experience is a stupid argument. The next 3 years are experience. Somehow I doubt the next presidential candidate will have been president of a country before
2. CHANGE. Good lord... It's been one year. You people are giving him one measely year to fix the @#$% ups of the last eight years?! I fail to see that logic. Shut up and let the man work. Quit your bitchin' and pining for instant gratification.
3. As some one who recently has been having a nightmare of a time with the healthcare system, I believe it is extremely important. There are just so many things wrong that one man can't fix it alone. People aren't wanting to work with him or together because of bipartisan idiocy and stubborness. It's on both sides. Jobs are important too, I agree, but so is healthcare. Wait until you need to see a doctor and can't. As some one from Hawai'i where we have a similar system to the one proposed in the bill, I can say I love it! Now I'm in Oregon and can't see a goddamn doctor!
4. Sure, they may get more republicans but in the next 3 years, while they oppose everything just for the hell of it and nothing is done, (hopefully) people will see that just electing people who oppose Obama isn't a smart or particularly mature answer. It's like a highschool popularity contest.
5. Not all republicans agree with all republican ideas. Not all Democrats agree with Democrat ideas. The truth is, no matter what party they're in, politicians, in the end, vote based on their personal ideologies more than anything else. No one is working together. It's petty and selfish but, here's the kicker, IT'S NOT OBAMA'S FAULT SO STOP BLAMING HIM FOR OTHERS' STUPIDITY.
6. It's the approval rating after 1 year. You're basing the next 3 on that? That's sad.
7- yes, you had 7 reasons... I think...
Well hopefully people will learn to be patient. It's sad that the American way is wanting instant results. Really a sad sign of our culture... In one year, 12+ years aren't going to be fixed magically. Especially with every one just bitching. How about people get off their asses and try to do what they can for themselves. He's not a king, he's not there to tell us what to do. People seem to be looking for a magic fix that Obama is supposed to pull out of thin air. There isn't one. Maybe try listening to the man and you'll see that he knows it too and encourages people to do what they can to be financially responsible and encourages the rest of the government to work together. It isn't his fault that people are stupid.
AT THIS POINT WE DESERVE HIM AS A ONE TER PRESIDENT. WE DESERVE TO STAY @#$%ED UP!
I love this country, it's the citizens I can't stand...
"Why isn't bull-riding (Beef NASCAR as I call it) the American sport to end all sports? It's an epic battle of the wills between a man and an angry cheeseburger; and if that doesn't typify our awesome civilization, I don't know what does."
