    I have been seeing more and more posts pop up on Facebook and Youtube from other nations mocking Obama. He does so much that our Americna media will not touch (even Fox) and I have to wonder why we in America never say a cross word to him? Is it Race are we Americans so stuck on it we can't see the field for the grass?

    OBAMA: All countries are close allies!! - YouTube

    If this would have been Bush it would be all over CNN.

    Millions and millions of Americans have trash talked Barack Obama the whole time he's been in the White House.

    Well, only 34% of the total population voted for Obama so it stands to reason that of the other 66% there are some that do not like him and some that do not care. Every President has their enemies and people that are not happy with what the President is doing.

    I find criticism of Obama frequently in the Editorial & Opinion sections of the newspapers that I subscribe to. I've seen criticism of Obama on TV including PBS and MSNBC.
    And just yesterday my newspaper and local TV news reported on Maine Senator Olympia Snowe's criticism of Obama.

    But of those you did vote he received 52.9 of the popular vote (however it is the Electoral College vote that counts and he won that 365 to 173).

    Maybe those who could have voted but did not were turned off by either of the candidates. I voted for the person I disliked the least.

    Yes, disliked by so many and yet he'll still be re-elected.

    The election's a bit too far away to call, to put it mildly.

    No comments about the video? I found it very sad the lack of respect he has for other nations. I thought there would be very little talk about the video and a bunch of talk about other BS.

    It's those kinds of comments that make me lose sleep...

    Yep, watched the video. Kinda makes me think Jimmy Carter moved up another notch in the world ratings. :indifferent:

    I have $100 that says he won't be re-elected.

    Who do you think can beat him?

    That's a real tempting offer, but I doubt that I would have the money to pay up if I'm wrong.

    I just want to be clear about one thing. I'm not talking specifically about my own opinion here, I'm talking about a prediction of what will happen in November.

    In 2008 McCain kicked Romney's butt then Obama kicked McCain's butt. So, how do you figure that Romney will beat Obama in 2012? Regardless of my own personal political affiliations, it's ridiculously obvious that the Republican Party is deeply divided. Even the pathetic Newt is still saying that he's going to "reconfigure" his campaign. None of them are actually interested in a conservative agenda, they just want to be in power. If they were actually interested in promoting a conservative agenda then the Republican Party would have unified around a single candidate. "A house divided unto itself can not stand". I think that's Lincoln AND the Bible.

    You Sir, have a keen eye for the obvious. Did anyone seriously think that either of these guys ever had a chance of winning the nomination? Just the fact their names even come up in conversation indicates how divided the Republican Party is right now. The Tea Party is defiant of their own party leadership. I believe that in the end the Tea Party will be seen as a third party that divides the Republicans and allows Obama to slip into a second term with a plurality of appoximately 40%. Time will tell.

    Looks may be deceiving! Republicans are not allowed to have messy primary battles? Maybe it’s not conventional wisdom, but it can have some slight voter educational value!

    I really do not see a third party in the near future, but we may see fewer lifetime politicians. :usa1:
