Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

To President Obama supporters: if asked to list the compelling reasons to vote for Obama in 2012, what would be the reasons you would cite?

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

I like the idea of having a minority in the White House. So that brings his approval rating up to 7% for me.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

protect social security, medicare, medicaid and obamacare. protect middle class tax cuts. make rich pay fair share. protect wallstreet regulation. protect poor and middleclass in spending cuts. protect supreme court from radical judges. protect union rights.

except for needed spending cuts, it is about protecting status quo from radical republican change. thank god for the filabuster in case obama loses. we won't see radical change. we don't need it. the system isn't designed for it.

republicans would be better off if they weren't proposing radical change, but u have to veer to the right in the primaries and that kills them. democrats lose if they veer too far left.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

I have to disagree, there is not a single reason to maintain the status quo.

If you want a minority, elect Herman Cain.

If you want someone who is as uninspiring, John Huntsman is the one for you.

If you are interested in seeing a woman as President, Michelle Bachman awaits your vote.

If you are not wanting to leave the main stream but want a Republican, elect Mitt Romney.

If you want an intellectual, Newt Gingrich is the one to choose.

If you want a conservative voice but supportive governmental policies, Rick Perry is for you.

If you are not really sure what you want, Ron Paul will be sure to give you at least a little bit of everything.

The main reason to reelect Obama


"cuz he black"

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Umm, you can replace him with Herman Cain, keep a minority in the White House, and be rid of its current occupant.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

DM the President can't do all that. He has to rely on Congress and the Senate.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

if a republican congress tries to pass those measures the president can veto. he is the last line of defense in legislation being passed.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Yes, he can do that. But is that a compelling reason to re-elect him?

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

electing obama will ensure republicans don't repeal obamacare, don't privatise social security, undo medicare etc. yes reelecting obama is worth it to save all the programs for the poor.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

It would also wreck the economy and put EVERYBODY in the poor house.
Not to mention other nations taking over as the new world powers.
Socialism is the end of freedom and the start of communism.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

I can't think of any reason to reelect him myself.

Personally I like The Constitution party over the big two.A Black President is fine with me.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

I agree. As long as he is elected because of his qualifications. Not because he is black. (That's how Barrack Hussein Obama became president.)

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

You want to continue to tax the rich? Are you kidding me? They are the job providers.
Stop taxing the rich so they can start hiring folks again.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

It's crazy to think blacks or anyone else that voted for him wouldn't have voted for an identical white man over John McCain. Think about that.

Also consider: even if he did get some votes because he was black he also lost some votes because he was black. Do you have evidence that he gained more votes than he lost due to his race or is it just guess work?

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

OK, I live in Ohio. Ohio was the state that put BHO into office.

Here are some things I personally saw/experienced:

1. A Charismatic/Apostolic (African American pastor and congregation) church in our neighborhood has a separate building for church offices. They covered up the church sign in front of that building and put up a large sign as an Elect Barack Obama headquarters. They registered (black) voters and collected their absentee ballots.

2. There are about 20,000 people in our city. It is called Forest Park and is about 15 miles or so north of Cincinnati. Our population according to the 2000 census was about 56 percent African American and about 35 percent White. I don't know what the 2010 census numbers are. I only know of 3 houses with john McCain signs in our city for the 2008 election. There may have been more but I only know of three. All these signs were either vandalized or destroyed. One was on our street. I used to work with the man who lives there. Their sign was vandalized or knocked down a couple of times and then destroyed. One man on a street which our street runs into had his sign damaged a couple of times so he took it down and gave it to someone else who does not live here. Another man had two signs in his yard. He lives about a block from me. His signs did survive until election day but they had holes punched in them.

3. Recorded phone calls from Michelle Obama targeted us to be sure and "vote early" because "that's the only way we can make sure my husband wins this election."

3. A representative from "the union" went door to door to collect early ballots. When she came to our house she knew my name and the name of my wife and wanted to have us vote early so she could turn our ballots in for us. The representative was a young African American woman and was very pleasant but I refused to let her enter our home and talk to us and collect ballots from us.

If being a minority is a reason, then let us all elect a satanist as our next president, satanists are definitely a minority.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

I guess Mormons would be a minority also and we have a couple of them running for the Republican nomination. We also have one woman and one African American running for the Republican nomination. I don't know if we have a GLBT running or not. Wouldn't any of these count as a minority?

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Electing Barko would only ensure that this country ends ups destroyed and then the poor you claim to care about would truly be in trouble.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

That almost makes me wanna go vote for him just to prove you wrong. I didn't vote last election. I liked Obama bunches at first (before he even started running for president. I seen him on The Daily Show around summer '07 and his oratory skills were still top notch then. Even in the more back and forth part of the show between him and Jon Stewart). However, by the time election time got here I didn't like him enough anymore. I have to like a candidate quite a bit to actually go out and vote for them. ;)

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Not having Romney, Cain, Perry, Gingrich, etc..., in office.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Women wouldn't. They constitute a majority of the nation's population.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

So Obama has not accomplished anything to compel your support. You simply won't vote for a Republioan b/c you are a party-line voter. This folks is the problem w too many voters in America

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Actually, my friend, I won't vote Republican because I am a Socialist. My party's candidate is Stewart Alexander, but he doesn't stand a chance. If I HAD to vote for a Republican, I'd vote for ... actually they are all nightmares, maybe, Romney?

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

To my dear friends why do you always compare communism to socialism all the time.
When I think of socialism I think of the Nazi's.
they are socialist too you all know.
hmmmmmmm
As for Obama care it should be repealed on the grounds that it is in violation of the constitution. You can not be forced to buy anything from the government or private sector.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

The Nazi regime was not socialist. It was fascist. Nazis came out of them völkisch movement, which makes them far-right, almost the German equivalent to David Duke. Socialism is a left ideology.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Wait..so they were the national SOCIALIST workers party?

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

NONE! :girlytantrum

Been Thinkin

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Is Christian Science Church filled with Scientists?

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

i have also been thinking on Obama. We should reelect him because smart people can never get elected president anymore, only morons can be prez.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Really? We want to vote based on intelligence or success? OK

I vote Cain!

■Bachelor’s
degree in Mathematics.
■Master’s degree
in Computer Science.
■Mathematician
for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket
scientist).
■Computer
systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
■VP of Corporate
Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the
computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major
corporation).
All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!

Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.

Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.

In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.

Cain was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.

Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!

Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.

Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve Bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.

After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!

Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.

Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).

He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid).

When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

He's never been a politician. So I am not impressed.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

I change my mind, I'd vote for Ron Paul.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Paul is the most anti-socialist candidate in the race. Why would a socialist vote for him?

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

All of them are anti-socialist. Most of America is.
I agree with most of Paul's criticism of the Obama administration. I believe he even supports OWS.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Pee Wee Herman would be a better president. After the presidnt's last speech, there's no doubt he's a Marxist. That speech was all about the redistribution of wealth. Europe is falling apart because of rampant socialism and the president doesn't get it. He's proposing ideas that have brought Europe to the brink of disaster. We can't afford 4 more years of BO...

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

Most blacks typically don't vote, except for the last presidential election, most voted for Obama. It's sad how people want to keep racism in the past, yet made their vote based on race without really knowing the truth.

Re: Name the Compelling Reasons to Reelect Obama
 

The curiosity of what would happen with Obama and a democratic controlled Congress? lol
